Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 332 Returning to the City
After leaving the entrance of the secret realm, Xu Chunniang looked at the Hunyuan City not far ahead, and Xu Chunniang didn't enter the city.

She changed the direction and headed towards the Crying Wind Mountain.

She deliberately chose a road, met many monks along the way, and entered the range of Wind Crying Mountain carelessly.

After entering the depths of the Wind Crying Mountain, Xu Chunniang released her spiritual consciousness, and after confirming that there was no one around, she returned to her original appearance and destroyed all her clothes.

After doing all this, she locked on the two Wujin apes in the early stage of foundation establishment with her spiritual sense, and started hunting them leisurely.

Xu Chunniang left this place after killing the five-day monster in Fengwai Mountain and embarked on the return journey.

Before arriving at Hunyuan City, I saw a lot of defenders outside the city from a distance, and the guards were heavily guarded.

Thinking about the fact that the Tianyuan Secret Realm was closed three days ago, but Xie Chang Yuan failed to leave as scheduled, the City Lord's Mansion was already alarmed.

Xu Chunniang lowered her eyes and walked towards the city gate pretending not to know.

The city gate was heavily guarded, and every monk who entered or left the city was strictly questioned.

Several foundation-building monks held magic weapons to ensure that the monks who came and went did not change their appearance or hide their cultivation, and there was even a Jindan monk sitting next to them.

When it was Xu Chunniang's turn, she took out her identity jade badge, reached out and put it on the magic weapon for testing.

"pass."

Hearing this, she felt a little relieved, and when she was about to step into the city, she saw the Golden Core cultivator suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on her.

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Chunniang's heart tightened, but there was a hint of confusion on her face, as if she didn't know why she was called.

The golden core monk can naturally see that the female cultivator in front of him is only at the fourth level of foundation building.

The city lord made a special trip to explain that he should pay more attention to the monks on the fourth floor of the foundation.

He said coldly, "Release your consciousness."

Xu Chunniang looked puzzled, after all, she had just explained that she had stayed in the Wind Crying Mountain for a month, and only rushed back to the city today.

The two late-stage Foundation Establishment monks who were in charge of the inspection all looked impatient.

There are so many people waiting to be tested that they don't bother to explain.

"Let you release your consciousness, just do it, you don't have to ask so many questions."

Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down.

When she came out of the Tianyuan Secret Realm that day, she changed her aura, and her contact with those Golden Core cultivators was also very short. If she releases her consciousness at this moment, she should not be recognized, right?
While thinking about it, she made a cooperating look, and was about to release her consciousness when she caught a glimpse of the Jindan cultivator's complexion changing slightly after opening a sound transmission talisman.

"I'm in a hurry, so I'll come back as soon as I go. The two of you are here to strictly check."

After finishing speaking, the Jindan cultivator left directly in the air.

Xu Chunniang blinked, and quietly released her consciousness.

After this invisible spiritual consciousness touched the spiritual consciousness of two late-stage foundation-establishment monks, it seemed to have encountered a huge obstacle, and was bounced back abruptly.

As if her body couldn't bear it, she swayed and almost fell down.

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Chunniang withdrew her consciousness and entered the city "weakly".

Until entering the Xiangyun Inn, he still maintained this weakness.

The shopkeeper in the inn was shocked when he saw her come back alive. He hadn't seen her come back for so long, and he thought that this female cultivator had already died in the Wind Crying Mountain.

However, he quickly put away the surprise on his face and put on a smile.

"Fellow Daoist finally came back. During these days, your companions have frequently come to me to inquire about news, and even thought of going to the Wind Crying Mountain to find you. Fortunately, you are finally back, otherwise it will be a few days later, I can't help it."

Xu Chunniang smiled back, and at the same time took out a small bag of Lingshi and put it on the counter, "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for passing the message for me."

Before she left, she had explained to Huo Chunyan and the others, but in case the three of them rushed to Fengkushan to look for her impulsively, she specially asked the shopkeeper to help take care of one or two.

The shopkeeper touched the Lingshi bag with a smile, and after weighing the weight without leaving any trace, he showed satisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist is too polite, I didn't help much."

After Xu Chunniang thanked the shopkeeper again, she walked to the door of the room where she lived before, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"it's me."

In less than half an hour, the door was pulled open abruptly. Huo Chunyan stared at Xu Chunniang with wide eyes, and the circles of her eyes slowly turned red.

"Chun Niang, you're back... Great, great!"

She was a little excited and wanted to say something, but she just repeated this sentence.

After waking up, Senior Brother Zhuge left a message saying that he had gone to the secret realm, and Chun Niang left a message saying that he had gone to Fengwai Mountain.

The three of them were worried to death. God knows how they got here these days.

I was planning to go to Fengkui Mountain several times, but after thinking of what Chunniang left behind, I finally endured it.

"It's all because of us being useless, that's why you risked yourself to earn spirit stones..."

Seeing that Huo Chunyan was about to cry, Xu Chunniang coughed lightly to cover up her guilty conscience.

The room at the Xiangyun Inn is expensive, and the few people who stayed there for half a year have long since wiped out their meager wealth.

At that time, in order to find a reasonable reason for her leaving, she used the pretext of hunting monsters and going out to earn money.

"It's okay, I'm back in good shape. And although this trip has been a bit hard, the rewards are not bad at all."

Huo Chunyan wiped the corners of her eyes, "Brother came back three days ago, I will tell him the good news, as well as Zhang Yu and the others."

A quarter of an hour later, the five of them gathered again in Zhuge Yun's Xuan Zihao room.

Looking at the teacup in front of her, Huo Chunyan glanced at Zhuge Yun who was sitting on top, her tone was not very polite.

"This time, brother didn't add ingredients to it, did he?"

Zhuge Yun showed a hint of apology on his face, "It was just a helpless act at the time, and I hope the younger brothers and younger sisters don't take it to heart."

Xu Chunniang drank her tea with her head down, but she was very sure in her heart that she had not seen Zhuge Yun in the entire Tianyuan Secret Realm or even the Tiandao Palace.

Or...he didn't go to Tiandao Palace at all.

Or, even if he also used the method of disguise, she couldn't recognize it.

Xu Chunniang thought it was more likely to be the latter. After all, Zhuge Yun had even done such things as administering medicine in order to get rid of the four of them and enter the secret realm. It was unlikely that he would miss the opportunity to go to Tiandao Palace.

She can learn bone shrinking and Yi Qigong, and Zhuge Yun's cultivation base is higher than hers, so it is not surprising that she can master such techniques.

"Senior Brother finally returned safely, and so did Senior Sister Xu. In the past month, I have really counted the days."

Zhang Yuchang heaved a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.

A pensive look flashed in Zhuge Yun's eyes. He only learned that Xu Chunniang went to the Wind Crying Mountain alone after he came back from the secret realm.

It's just that the timing was too coincidental, as soon as he left, she left alone.

Could it be... This junior sister said that she went to the Wind Crying Mountain, but in fact, like him, she went to the secret realm, right?
