Immortal Way Retrograde

Chapter 182 Uneasy
After half a month of trekking, Cheng Qingqian and Duan Li finally vaguely saw the peak of Tianjinzong's mountain, but this day the fog on the mountain seemed to be extraordinarily thick, making it difficult for people to see the vegetation on the mountain clearly.

Cheng Qingqian's spiritual power was completely exhausted because of long-term flight with the sword, and Duan Li was stronger than Cheng Qingqian, but he was not necessarily so optimistic.

He glanced at the small town not far from them, "Let's rest here for the night."

Cheng Qingqian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's fine, just let's go to Shifang to buy two more sound transmission talismans." At this point, Cheng Qingqian couldn't help but pause, "Is the spirit stone on your body enough for us to buy sound transmission talismans?" ?”

Duan Li smiled gently, "Yes, don't worry."

Cheng Qingqian didn't speak again, but just bit her finger with a gloomy expression, "I've calculated this journey, we have already sent eight sound transmission talismans to the sect, you said they must have received it and sent someone to rescue the little junior sister Alright..."

"Well, someone must have been sent, so don't worry about it."

Cheng Qingqian couldn't help sighing, "How could you not be worried? We sent out so many sound transmission symbols, but in the end we didn't even receive a single response! Thinking about it, I feel angry. You shouldn’t be saving money on this matter, not to mention that it’s just a sound transmission talisman, and it’s not expensive, so why can’t he resist sending me any of them!”

When Cheng Qingqian complained, she didn't notice the slight change in Duan Li's expression.

It's just that when he spoke, his tone didn't fluctuate in the slightest, "Maybe it's because the sect has a lot of affairs, so I forgot to respond to you. Don't take this matter too seriously, it will be fine."

While the two were talking, the figure had landed in the small town.

Duan Li sent Cheng Qingqian directly to the inn, and said, "Your spirit power is seriously depleted, you can simply recover it in the inn first, and leave it to me to buy the sound transmission talisman."

Cheng Qingqian didn't object either, she just patted Duan Li on the shoulder, and returned to her room with a tired face.

The moment Cheng Qingqian's figure disappeared at the door, Duan Li's originally mild face suddenly became extremely indifferent, and his eyes also showed a bit of deep sharpness.

Without resting, he got up and left the inn, and walked towards the most concentrated area of ​​the market.

Finally, he stood in front of a stall selling talismans.

When the stall owner saw a customer coming, he had a happy smile on his face, "What kind of talisman does this customer want to see?"

Duan Li looked indifferently, "Sound transmission symbol."

As soon as the words fell, the stall owner immediately put the three kinds of sound transmission talismans he owned in front of Duan Li, and explained the pros and cons of these three sound transmission talismans to Duan Li eloquently.

But at this time, Duan Li couldn't listen to the slightest explanation.

He only stared at the worst sound transmission talisman and asked, "How many spirit stones."

The stall owner also understood that the male cultivator in front of him, who looked like a gentleman, was not his big customer group, so his enthusiasm also dissipated a lot.

"Two spirit stones for one, if you buy more, maybe it will be cheaper for you."

Duan Li shook his head, "I need two." While speaking, he touched his storage bag, and the look of helplessness in his eyes grew worse. Finally, he took out his saber and put it on the trading desk.

The stall owner was taken aback, thinking that the man in front of him was going to make a move, he took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground because of his unsteady standing.

"What is the meaning of this, Fellow Daoist? If you are dissatisfied with the price, we can also negotiate. If you draw the sword now and then attract the guards, you may have no good fruit to eat."

Duan Li knew that this person had misunderstood, so he explained, "I don't want to take your life, I just want to use this sword as a mortgage."

The stall owner picked his ears vigorously as if he had heard something strange, "You mean you want to buy talisman seals and use magic weapons as collateral?"

"I'm sorry, I'm really shy now, and I can't get out the spirit stone, so I can only make this bad plan."

"The person who looks like a dog in the clothes is so miserable?" Knowing that Duan Li has no malice towards him, the stall owner's legs are weak, and even after knowing Duan Li's poverty, he still looked at it thoughtfully. Its a few glances.

"Some personal reasons." This is the inconvenience of telling.

No matter what the stall owner said, he has been in this area for a long time, and the people he meets are good or bad, but there are always a few things that surprise people, so when faced with Duan Li's situation, he is not very curious and an inquisitive desire.

His eyes fell on the long sword that Duan Li took out for a while, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"This magic weapon is really good..." He sighed and then looked at Duan Li, "Or you can sell it to me directly, and I will definitely give you a suitable price."

Duan Li shook his head, "I won't sell it, this is one of the two magic weapons that I use most often, and I wouldn't have made such a bad move if there was no other way."

The stall owner thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, if you don't want to sell it, I won't force it. The sword can also be used as a mortgage talisman, but we have to set a deadline."

"A period of one month..."

The contract was established, and Duan Li also got the talisman.

At this moment, Duan Li didn't have the desire to talk to anyone, so he turned around and was about to leave, but at the moment of turning around, he seemed to vaguely hear someone mentioning the word "Sky Ember Sect"...

"Is this really what Old Tudou did?"

"Is my news still false?"

"Don't you think he's ungrateful? If the Sky Ember Sect hadn't intervened, he would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago!"

"That's what I said, but there is a word you used wrongly. He is not ungrateful, it is clearly repaying kindness."

"Speaking of which, what's the situation over there?"

"How do we know! Up to now, no one from the Sky Ember Sect has gone down the mountain, but the group of people who went up the mountain before did not come down the mountain either."

Several people gathered together and chatted lively, without noticing that other tourists who seemed to have a very low sense of presence sneaked into their surroundings unknowingly.

The conversations between these people seemed endless, but it was still not difficult for Duan Li to tell that something had happened to the Ember Sect.

And those fogs didn't appear recently, maybe they appeared on the day of the accident.

Duan Li actually has a certain understanding of the sect protection barrier of the Sky Ember Sect, one of which is the mist that makes people lose their minds.

At first, when Duan Li saw the mist, he wondered if there was something wrong with the Sky Jade Sect, but now his suspicions have been completely confirmed.

The opening of the protective barrier has never been a trivial matter, but I don't know how serious it is now.

Duan Li pursed his lips, and the uneasiness in his heart began to expand rapidly.
