Black City's City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Black City. It was the tallest tower in Black City with a total of 13 floors.
The bottom 10 floors were public areas. It was the office area of the City Lord's Mansion's officials. From the 11th floor onwards, it was the private territory of the City Lord's Mansion. Anyone who entered without permission would be killed on the spot by the guards. Even cultivators were no exception!
In front of the clear and tall floor-to-ceiling window stood a middle-aged man wearing a purple tuxedo. He was tall and straight with a grave and stern face. His whole body emitted a power that made people's heart palpitate.
He was Black City's City Lord, Chu Hua, a powerful cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment Stage!
Chu Hua had been standing in front of this floor-to-ceiling window for three whole days. In these three days, he didn't drink a single drop of water. His body also didn't move an inch. No one knew what he was thinking about and no one dared to disturb him.
Da da da.
A burst of crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground came from afar. A tall and beautiful figure wearing a black uniform slowly walked out from the shadows and stood behind Chu Hua. She respectfully said to Chu Hua, "My Lord, there's news."
Hearing the woman's words, Chu Hua slowly turned around and faced his assistant. His voice was low and deep. "Speak."
"The owner of a shop called Kelly's Little Store sent news. Those two talisman arrays were recognized by a talisman array master who happened to pass by and left behind the name of the talisman arrays."
While speaking, Chu Ning handed a document to Chu Hua. The names of the two talisman arrays were written on it.
Chu Hua reached out and took the document from Chu Ning's hand. He opened it and took a look. Immediately, those rippleless eyes of his suddenly burst out with a bright brilliance!
"Spirit Receiving Talisman Array, Spirit Injecting Talisman Array!
In this world, there are still people who can recognize these two talisman arrays!
Good, very good! "
Chu Hua suddenly laughed out loud. His eyes were excitedly looking at the document in his hand. He loudly said, "With these two talisman arrays, this lord can expect to reach the Gold Core Stage!"
Hearing Chu Hua's words, Chu Ning also happily laughed. "Congratulations City Lord, congratulations City Lord!"
… …
"How is it?"
In the shop, Qinchuan was extremely anxious. However, he couldn't show anything on the surface. He could only pretend as if nothing had happened and casually asked a question.
"There's news!"
Kelly looked at the reply on the photon computer and said excitedly to Qinchuan, "The reward has been transferred to the account I provided!"
Apart from the monetary gift, the City Lord's Mansion also sent over the property certificate of Kelly's Little Store as well as the identity card that symbolized his status as a permanent resident of Black City!
"Very good," Qinchuan immediately said to Kelly when he heard the news, "Give me the cultivation resources immediately, I'm leaving!"
Kelly already knew that Qinchuan would leave immediately after hearing the news. She didn't hesitate and went to the cabinet with Qinchuan. She took out a black leather backpack the size of a school bag and handed it to Qinchuan.
"This is a space bag made from the skin of a black-scaled python. Everything you need is inside. Take this backpack as my gift to you."
The market price of a space bag was about 100,000 yuan. Although it wasn't cheap, it was still insignificant when compared to the permanent residence certificate and property certificate that she obtained.
Qinchuan didn't talk nonsense. He carried the backpack and went out. He walked quickly toward the elevator without stopping for a moment, fearing that he would be stopped if he was slow.
Qinchuan was right. At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion had already sent people to Kelly's Little Store. If he was slow for three minutes, perhaps he would have encountered them!
Kelly stood at the entrance of the shop and watched Qinchuan's figure disappear into the crowd. Her face was full of determination.
She was very clear that the people from the City Lord's Mansion were already on their way. If she let Qinchuan leave just like that, she would definitely offend the City Lord's Mansion. She might even receive some punishment. However, she didn't have a choice. If she didn't offend the City Lord's Mansion, then she could only offend the Talisman Array Master behind Qinchuan. She chose the lesser of two evils. Compared to offending a Talisman Array Master with a noble status, she was more willing to offend the City Lord's Mansion!
Just when Kelly was about to turn around and return to the shop, a series of engine roars came from afar. Several luxurious black flying shuttles flew over at high speed and gradually stopped in front of Kelly's Little Store.
Kelly couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the black flying shuttles that suddenly appeared. Only the City Lord's personal guards were qualified to drive these shuttles. Could it be that the person who made the announcement was really the City Lord?!
Just when Kelly was in shock, the door of the leading flying shuttle slowly opened. A tall and beautiful figure walked out from it. Kelly recognized this person with a single glance. She was the spokesperson of the City Lord's Mansion, the daughter of the City Lord, Chu Ning!
Chu Ning looked at Kelly indifferently and asked, "Where is the grandmaster?"
Facing Chu Ning's extremely oppressive aura, Kelly braced herself and said, "The grandmaster has already left."
"Left?" Chu Ning frowned slightly. "When did he leave?"
"He has been gone for quite a while." Kelly lied. "I don't know where exactly he went.
I didn't dare to ask too much and didn't dare to stop him. "
Hearing Kelly's answer, Chu Ning was slightly disappointed. However, she didn't have any intention to pursue the matter. She asked again, "Do you know what that array master looks like?"
"I don't know. He was wearing a disguise mask."
Kelly answered honestly. Although she had known Qinchuan for a long time, she really didn't know what Qinchuan looked like.
Facing Kelly's ignorance, Chu Ning couldn't be bothered to continue kissing her. She could only instruct, "Remember, if that grandmaster comes to your place again, you must inform the City Lord's Mansion immediately. When the time comes, you will definitely be rewarded."
"Yes, I understand."
Kelly nodded respectfully. As for what she was thinking in her heart, no one knew.
Chu Ning didn't stay there for long. She directly boarded the flying shuttle and left. She didn't suspect whether Kelly was telling the truth. In her opinion, Kelly shouldn't have the guts to deceive the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, facing a distinguished array master, even she wouldn't dare to say much. It was normal that Kelly didn't know anything. Moreover, she and the City Lord didn't even think of stopping this array master immediately. They only needed to know that there was such an existence in the State Capital of Qing. That was enough.
As for other matters, there was still a long way to go. They could afford to wait and take it slowly.
On the other side, Qinchuan had already boarded the elevator to leave Black City. Looking at the Black City that was getting further and further away from him, Qinchuan's nervous heart finally relaxed. It seemed that he should be able to leave safely today.
Thinking of the one million high-grade cultivation resources in his backpack, Qinchuan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. With this amount of cultivation resources, he would definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds in the Body Tempering Stage!
