"If the two of you don't want to move, then move aside. Don't block the people behind." The guard impatiently waved the two away and continued to stretch out his hand. The guard took out a translucent pearl and handed it over, then walked towards the pattern.
"Master …" Yi Qing's face was full of guilt. It was already a miracle that he survived the battle with Rui Mi. He really forgot about losing his storage bag. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't come in a hurry to deliver the Soul Devouring Gonfalon, Master wouldn't have brought so many spirit stones."
"Er …" No, I really don't have money.
"Master, why don't you walk around the city first? 50 spirit pearls isn't much. I'll find a temporary job in the city. I'm sure I'll be able to earn enough for the teleportation fee before dawn, "he suggested seriously.
"Forget it, let's go together!" Shen Ying nodded. "It'll be faster if there's two of us." With that said, she directly pulled him out of the square.
Yi Qing seemed to be very experienced in such matters. After asking around on the street for a while, he brought her to the tallest building in the city. When they reached the incharge, he cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist, I heard that this place needs guards."
The incharge was polite and returned the greeting. He looked at the two of them and said, "Indeed, the Treasure Convention of the Jewelry Pavilion needs a few guards with high cultivation. May I know who you are? "
"I'm a sword cultivator, a Golden Core cultivator."
"A Golden Core sword cultivator!" The incharge was delighted and bowed again with excitement. "So you're a Dao Lord."
"I wonder if you meet the requirements."
"Of course, of course you meet the requirements!" The incharge smiled like a flower. The auction today was special. He originally thought that it would be good to find a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he did not expect to find a Golden Core cultivator. There were not many Golden Core cultivators in the entire Shunyu City, let alone a sword cultivator. "Dao Lord, you only need to escort the person who obtained the treasure today back after the Treasure Convention. The reward is two inferior-grade spirit stones. What do you think, Dao Lord? "
Yi Qing thought about it and asked, "For the two of us, two inferior-grade spirit stones each?"
"Two of us?" The incharge was stunned. He turned to look left and right before noticing Shen Ying. Huh? When did this person get here? He actually didn't notice him just now. Upon closer inspection, the other party did not have the slightest bit of spiritual energy. He was actually a mortal. But when he thought that the other person was a Golden Core cultivator, he felt that it was impossible. He asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you also here to be a guard? Forgive me for being blind, but what is your cultivation level? "
"I don't know either."
"…" I don't know, what kind of guard are you here for! The incharge's mouth twitched. He could not afford to offend a Golden Core Dao Lord. "Then … a total of three inferior-grade spirit stones for the two of them. How about that?"
"Alright." Shen Ying nodded. It was a package price. Previously, he had learned that a piece of low-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred spiritual beads, which was already enough for his travel expenses.
Yi Qing swallowed the explanation that was about to come out of his mouth. Yes, it must be because Master wanted to keep a low profile.
"Please come with me." The steward brought the two of them to the second floor. Only then did they realize that it was already filled with people, and they could faintly hear the voices of people shouting prices. It looked like a small auction.
The steward had them wait in a small compartment. Yi Qing also started to take the initiative to explain the nature of this short-term job. This was a business. Usually, when a business obtained a rare Dharma treasure, Dharma artifact or elixir, they would hold an auction. Every time this happened, the shop would temporarily hire some cultivators to escort the people who had bid for the item back. It was also considered an after-sales service. However, these guards were usually Foundation Establishment cultivators, and all of them were itinerant cultivators.
"When I was in Foundation Establishment, I often took on such jobs. Don't worry, Master, this city is very small, and the area is not wide. Usually, it won't be too far away. It will be over before daybreak, and it won't take long. "
"Oh." Shen Ying nodded. All in all, this was a short-term job that saved time and effort. But … what did it mean to 'stop the chicken'?
They waited for close to three hours. The sky was already dark, and the voices outside slowly stopped. People started to leave one after another. The incharge brought them in front of a cultivator.
Yi Qing took a look. Although the other party was only a young cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, he was wearing a third-level Dharma robe. He must be the young master of an immortal cultivation family. He was also holding a black box in his hand, which should be the Dharma artifact that he had just bid for.
"Dao Lord, this Fellow Daoist Lu is the customer who will be escorting today. You just need to send him to the Lu Residence in the west. "
Yi Qing nodded and led the young man out. The other party was very polite. Perhaps he was surprised that a Golden Core cultivator was escorting him, but he seemed a little excited along the way. He talked about how he had bid for the treasure in his hand as he walked towards the west of the city.
The Lu Family was considered a well-known family within a radius of a hundred miles, but it was still a distance away from Shunyu City. What's more, after leaving the city, they had to pass through a bamboo forest. The forest was deep and full of leaves, and there was a lot of miasma. It was not suitable for flying swords. This time, he had bid for a rare fourth-level Dharma artifact. For such an important customer, the Precious Treasures Pavilion naturally hired the best people to escort him, in case someone killed him and stole his treasure.
Shen Ying had no objections to this kind of simple physical work, but … why did he drag it until night time before leaving? She was so sleepy!
"Dao Lord, after leaving this forest, we'll reach the Lu Residence." The cultivator with the surname Lu pointed ahead. "Thank you for the journey, Dao Lord."
"It's my duty. Don't stand on ceremony." Yi Qing looked around. "I'm afraid this forest is dangerous."
"Don't worry, Dao Lord," Cultivator Lu said nonchalantly. Cultivator Lu casually said, "Although this Shunyu City is a remote small city, it has always been peaceful. Nothing will happen here."
"It's better to be careful, just in case."
"Dao Lord, you must be joking. Although I can't use Sword Kinesis in this forest, I often walk here and there have been no problems." Cultivator Lu was still nonchalant. "It's all because the manager of the Precious Treasures Pavilion thought too much and wanted to find someone to escort me. Although fourth-level Dharma artifacts are rare here, they are very common outside. Could it be that someone will really … "
Before he could finish speaking, a white light suddenly shone under his feet. An array formation instantly took shape. The ground shook, and a large patch of thorny vines drilled out, smashing toward Cultivator Lu.
Cultivator Lu jumped in fright. His hands lost their balance, and the box he was holding just now fell. It was directly sucked in by the crazily growing thorny vines.
"My Dharma artifact …"
"Be careful!" Yi Qing pulled him back, summoned his spirit sword, and swung it forward. A sharp sword Qi swept toward the thorny vines, instantly cutting off a large patch. But in the next moment, more thorny vines emerged from the ground, surging toward them.
Yi Qing had no choice but to push him back, away from the danger zone. He instructed, "Stay behind, don't leave my master's side."
Cultivator Lu was stunned. Master? What master? He subconsciously looked back, and after a while, he saw a woman in a gray robe behind him. He jumped in fright.
When … when was this person here? Wasn't it just him and the Dao Lord on the road just now? When did another person appear?
(⊙o⊙)
Thinking of Yi Qing's instructions, he immediately stood beside the woman. For a Golden Core Dao Lord to call her master, she must be able to ensure his safety.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." He greeted politely, but saw that the other party was standing straight, with her head lowered, without any reaction at all. Thinking that the other party was a little angry at his negligence earlier, he subconsciously moved closer. "It's my negligence, it's been hard on you. Please don't blame me, Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist, you … "
In the next moment, he heard a light snoring sound.
This is … sleeping … sleeping …

"…" You can even sleep like this, are you freaking kidding me?!
