I am Bai Yueguang of the Paranoid Immortal [Rebirth]

Chapter 54

  "This Tao... friend." Chu Qi changed his words midway, "May I ask when did you come in here?"

Hearing Chu Qi's words, the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground suddenly moved, and he turned around from the ground Turning around, facing Chu Qi's direction, he was quite surprised in his words, "I thought that the newcomers would seek death and life, but I didn't expect you, a young man, to be so calm."

Chu Qi: "..."

Before Chu Qi could answer, The middle-

aged man continued to say, "I came here a month ago. After the autumn city was closed, I was arrested and used as a slave because I couldn't pay the gold." The man's words gradually increased.

He not only told Chu Qi how he got into the dungeon, but also told about the changes in Qiucheng.

It turned out that two months ago, there was an immortal in Qiucheng who knew the art of "turning a stone into gold" and was "happy to do good" and was willing to donate gold to the common people free of charge.

In addition to the people who like gold, some monks are very curious about the technique of "turning a stone into gold". The immortal promised to teach this method to other monks.

The two pieces of news spread, and people in the entire Central Region were crazy about it, and rushed to Qiucheng one after another.

At first, everyone got what they wanted. Almost all places visible to the naked eye turned to gold.

One month later, the immortal said that he would take back the gold that had been sent out earlier. Those who are willing to return the gold can leave the city, and those who are not willing to return the gold can stay.

Of these two options, most people choose the latter.

Who doesn't want to stay in Autumn City and enjoy the happiness and wealth brought by money?

Since then, Qiucheng has been in chaos.

Staying in the Autumn City, the immortals began to collect gold from the people in the city, and those who failed to hand it over would be sent out of the Autumn City and return to abjection. Those who can afford it will continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in the city.

There will always be a day when the gold in the hands of the people will run out, and some people will gradually be unable to hand over the gold. At that time, they will go to "alchemy".

"Alchemy? How can mortals learn the art of alchemy?"

Chu Qi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

"You're new here, so of course you don't know about mortal alchemy. We have to constantly carry ore and put it into the furnace. Then the immortal will quench it to smelt gold."

"Where does the ore come from?" Chu Qi was puzzled.

As Yan Chi said, Qiucheng was refined into a magic weapon by a craftsman. In this way, Qiucheng is an independent space, and there are no ore veins in it. How to dig ore?

"I don't know about this. It may be the trick of the immortal." After the

chat, the inmate reminded, "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier, and we will go to work at dawn tomorrow. If the strength is sent under the oil pan, it will not be good if it becomes a material for alchemy."

This is the second time that the inmates mentioned the "oil pan".

Chu Qi didn't continue talking, but raised his eyebrows slightly. Keep this in mind.

Mortals need sleep, and the inmate looked sleepy, yawned and turned away to sleep. Chu Qi stopped disturbing and focused on how to escape from prison.

Just when Chu Qi was about to cut off the golden railing with Gui Yin sword, a kind call came from his mind.

"Lulu!"

——The Gold Swallowing Beast that has successfully advanced has woken up from its deep sleep.

Surprised in Chu Qi's heart, he hastily set up an isolation barrier around himself, and summoned the gold-swallowing beast from the contract space.

After the advanced stage, Xiao Jin has undergone obvious changes. Its body has grown half a fist taller, and the horns on the top of its head have also grown a lot. The tip of its tail is no longer a barb, but a small ball like a dandelion. Chu Qi took a closer look and found that the thing that looked like a dandelion was also full of thorns.

"Lulululu."

After Xiaojin woke up, he was very happy to see Chu Qi, and at the same time he did not forget to show off his appearance after he successfully advanced.

Chu Qi reached out and touched Xiao Jin's head, "Xiao Jin has become stronger."

After showing off for a short time, Xiao Jin looked around and couldn't find Yan Jiuge's figure, so he couldn't help but tilt his head in doubt.

"Huh?"

"Ayan is not here." Chu Qi told Xiao Jin where they are currently.

Xiao Jin's expression was solemn after listening to it. Yan Jiuge was not there, and the situation of its owner was too dangerous. The last time he was chased by a small bug in the swamp was still fresh in his memory, Xiaojin felt that it had to take on the responsibility of protecting its master.

Unaware of the change in the expression on his pet's face, Chu Qi thought, "Originally I planned to go out by myself, but now that you wake up, let's go out on a different route."

The teeth of the swallowing gold beast can gnaw the strongest ore in the world, and the gold is naturally No problem.

"Let's go out from the back of the dungeon." It happened that his cell was the last one, and he could go out directly by opening a hole in the wall.

After Xiao Jin understood what Chu Qi meant, he opened his mouth wide and took a bite towards the corner of the wall.

Similar to biting tofu, Xiaojin gnawed out a big hole with a few clicks.

However, after Xiao Jin gave a sudden output, he suddenly stopped.

Chu Qi, who was squatting by the side, was a little worried, "What's the matter? Did the food go bad?"

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Xiao Jin turned his head, and spit out a pile of ore impurities in the other direction, including soil. The serving size is about the same as the "gold" it just ate.

The gold swallowing beast will filter out the impurities of the ore, retain the purest part of the metal, and absorb it into energy. But the "gold" used to build the dungeon is obviously full of impurities.

"Lululu!"

Xiao Jin complained to Chu Qi aggrieved.

"I've wronged you, I didn't expect that these are all fake gold, so don't eat it." Chu Qi patted Xiao Jin's head reassuringly.

Let's think of the alchemy technique and "alchemy" mentioned by the inmates.

Chu Qi roughly knew where the ore came from.

The gold in the entire Autumn City is fake. It looks more like gold after being transformed by magic, but it is actually a pile of dirt and sand.

In order to turn the sand into real gold, the instigator ordered the people to make gold.

Gui Yin sword was unsheathed, and Chu Qi used the two people's mentality to cut open the corner of the wall with Yan Jiuge's sword energy. With the isolation barrier in place, the movement made by Chu Qi did not disturb other people.

This hole is also covered with spiritual art, so there is no abnormality from the outside.

Chu Qi walked out from the cave, and the Gold-Tuning Beast consciously ran to stand on his shoulder. When it jumped up, it passed Chu Qi's wrist. Something pulled its hind leg, and it almost fell from mid-air.

"!"

What a nuisance.

Even though Yan Jiuge wasn't there, there was still a bad guy who came over to whip it abruptly.

The Gold Swallowing Beast bared its teeth at the vine ring on Chu Qi's wrist, and it must find a chance to take revenge next time.

Chu Qi naturally didn't notice the struggle between spiritual pets, and most of his attention was focused on the scene in front of him.

After coming out of the dungeon, the buildings of Qiucheng were revealed in front of Chu Qi. As the wanderer said, it is golden everywhere, and you can also see the jade inlaid on the wall.

At this time, it was night, and with a few lights, the autumn city could be illuminated resplendently.

This color is easy to get tired after looking at it for a long time.

I don't know how those people living in Qiucheng can get used to it.

To be on the safe side, Chu Qi took out two aura-concealing auras from the Qiankun bag, which were given by the master uncle of the sect master, and they could block the perception of monks who were below the refining stage.

In the entire Yunhua Realm, there are not many experts in the Void Refinement Stage.

The Central Territory is a place where low-level monks gather, so there shouldn't be such a powerful existence.

Running spiritual power, his body was like a breeze, Chu Qi's figure rose out of thin air, his toes touched the top of the wall, and he used his strength to swipe towards a high place again.

Chu Qi wanted to find the exit of Qiucheng.

If the wanderer was able to go out earlier, Qiucheng should have an exit.

Standing on a high place, Chu Qi had a panoramic view of Qiucheng.

There are many metal puppets patrolling the city, the area under Chu Qi's feet is relatively quiet, and the other half will be a little more lively.

When Chu Qi rushed over, he found that half of the people in Qiucheng rushed towards the center of the city with ore on their backs.

After many days of hard work, the clothes on the people's bodies were ragged, and there were even half-grown children in the team. They were disheartened and struggled to drag the ore, which was bigger than a person, to move forward.

It is not difficult to guess that the people in this half of the city do alchemy at night, and the other half will do alchemy in the daytime.

Day and night, without end.

There was confusion and depression on everyone's face, not knowing where they were and why they had fallen into such a situation.

There is "gold" under their feet. Even so, they still have to work hard to carry ore and "alchemy".

The technique of turning a stone into gold is a lie after all, defrauding the people and monks who came to Qiucheng one after another. The common people suffered from alchemy in the city, and the monks...all became puppets.

Chu Qi clenched his fists, he was very hateful to the people behind the scenes.

Along that arduous and majestic golden road, Chu Qi found the place where the alchemy was located. It is somewhat similar to the "oil pan" described by the inmates. There is a huge cauldron, with a burning spiritual fire and some firewood from the mortal world underneath. The turbid golden water is surging in the cauldron, like burning oil. It's average hot.

The people who carry the ore need to climb up the high ladder and throw the ore into it.

"Gulu." The ore fell into the cauldron, and some calm bubbles appeared.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "bang!", when a piece of ore fell, it splashed hot molten iron.

"Ah!" The person who dropped the ore was very panicked, he was splashed by molten iron, and under severe pain, he fell towards the mouth of the tripod.

Chu Qi's mind froze. Spiritual power surged in his hands, and he was about to save this person.

However, a spiritual force surged from the side of the cauldron, catching the falling mortal from the high platform before Chu Qi could make a move.

Before Chu Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, a gloomy voice came from the entrance.

"It's really a lifeless thing!"

"If it goes in and dirty my alchemy pond, I want all of you to be buried with it."

"The immortals are so angry!!"

In an instant, all the people carrying ore knelt on the ground, He looked terrified.

And the person who accidentally fell from the high platform was thrown in the opposite direction by that spiritual power——to the pile of burning flames under the cauldron!

Saving people was not the monk's original intention, he just didn't want mortals to dirty his alchemy pool.

Under the anger, the life of that mortal was like a mustard, not worth mentioning.

"噗——!" Qingyue

's metal collision sounded.

A sharp sword energy suddenly erupted, from top to bottom, the majestic aura actually extinguished all the burning spiritual fire under the cauldron.

The mortal who was thrown into the fire was also lifted up by a gentle spiritual power, and even the wound on his foot was completely healed, and the spiritual power placed him on the ground far away, away from the alchemy furnace. nearby.

"Who!! Dare to break into the autumn city of this seat!!" All

the spirit fires were extinguished, Yan Kuwu was furious, he ignored the mortal, and took the lead in sweeping towards the direction where the sword energy fell.
