Chapter 17: Golden Horse City

The scarred man gradually began to think of retreating, but before leaving he was still greedy as always. He wanted to take back the storage bag and flying fork magic weapon left by his second brother, so he circled Yun Hao and gradually moved towards the body of the horse-faced young man.

Just when the scarred man was very close to the body of the horse-faced young man, he suddenly rolled over and picked up the flying fork on the ground, then pulled off the horse-faced young man's storage bag and planned to take back his sword and escape.

The flying sword talisman in Yun Hao's hand had already been charged. He raised his hand and threw the talisman into the air. A white rainbow emerged from the talisman and shot towards the scarred man at the speed of a rainbow piercing the sun.

Seeing this, the scarred man frantically used the Vajra Technique, and his body suddenly glowed with a faint golden light that covered his entire body.

But how can the Vajra Technique performed by a Qi training cultivator withstand the attack of a talisman made from the magic weapon of a Jindan cultivator? You must know that if it is used with full strength, the talisman can only emit one tenth or two tenths of the power of the magic weapon.

The scarred man's head flew high up in the air, and blood splattered on the headless body for more than three feet. The head fell from the air and rolled several times on the ground. The body lay on the ground weakly like a fallen gourd, no longer moving.

The magical sword that was fighting with the Xuanyuan Sword in the air also fell to the ground.

After Yun Hao killed the two, he first took out the rejuvenation pill and swallowed it, then went forward to collect the two people's storage bags, the flying fork magic weapon, and the broadsword magic weapon.

Then two fireballs were cast at the bodies of the two men.

In just a moment, only a trace of gray remained of the two men's bodies.

Then he flew away in one direction on his sword.

Yun Hao had no plans to return home right away. Instead, he was thinking about looking for Xing Ruyin, who lived near Jinma City in the original novel. He intended to buy two formations, so that he could set them up at home. Secondly, the simple maze town in his own cave was too crude, and he was a person with many secrets, so he made this trip.

Soon Yun Hao asked for directions and arrived at Jinma City.

After arriving in Jinma City, Yun Hao headed towards a place called Qingquan Teahouse in the city. He knew that this teahouse was the property of Qi Yunxiao in the original novel, but he didn't know whether Qi Yunxiao appeared at this time.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I saw three bungalows, one big and two small, lined up in a row. On the door plaque were four huge ancient characters "Qingquan Teahouse" written in a flamboyant style. As soon as I walked into the door, I saw that the teahouse was sparsely occupied. There was no noisy atmosphere, and some of them were just occasionally whispering to each other with friends around them.

At this time, a man who looked like a shopkeeper who had just stepped into the second level of Qi training came over, extended his hand and greeted him, "Sir, this is your first time here! Please sit here for tea."

Upon hearing this, Yun Hao walked to the empty round table next to the shopkeeper, sat down and said, "Shopkeeper, please give me a cup of your special tea."

"Okay, sir!" The shopkeeper agreed and hurried to the counter to make tea for Yun Hao. After a moment, he came over trotting with the teapot in his hand, then picked up a quilt that was upside down on the eight-immortals table and started pouring it.

"Gurgle gurgle" suddenly, a refreshing tea fragrance penetrated into Yun Hao's mouth and nose through the misty smoke.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal!" the shopkeeper said after pouring the tea and prepared to turn around and go back to the counter.

Yun Hao suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Boss, do you know where there is a formation master near Jinma City?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed at first, and he secretly thought of the word "immortal cultivator" in his heart. Then his eyes lit up and he responded in a low voice, "You are also a cultivator!"

Yun Hao nodded calmly to show that he was also a cultivator, but he didn't say anything.

After watching Yun Hao's actions, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and replied to Yun Hao, but hesitated to say, "I do know where there is a formation master. I wonder where you are looking for a formation master..."

Yun Hao squinted his eyes and stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, and the shopkeeper felt goosebumps all over his body. "I'm looking for a formation master to buy formations," Yun Hao replied calmly, as if he was looking at a fool.

"I see, I see! I didn't think it through," the shopkeeper said with a blushing face. That's right! To find a formation master is either to buy a formation or to ask someone to set up a formation. Why did my brain suddenly stop working?

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, where does the formation master live? If you tell me the truth, I would like to give you a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pill," Yun Hao said in a somewhat tempting tone.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, and he stammered in disbelief as he asked, "Really? Really! Fellow Taoist, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little unconvinced, Yun Hao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here. He gently wiped the storage bag and a small porcelain bottle the size of half a palm appeared in his hand. He put it on the Eight Immortals Table and whispered, "Look, the pill is here. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."

The shopkeeper felt a little envious and a little bit evil in his heart, thinking, "How do I know if this is the Huanglong Pill? I have never seen it before. This damn nouveau riche is so arrogant."

But no matter how sour his heart was, he couldn't resist the temptation of the elixir. The shopkeeper reached out and picked up the elixir, pretending to understand it and said, "Well, it really is the Huanglong Pill."

"The formation master I know lives in Yunwu Mountain, not far from here," the shopkeeper said politely to Yun Hao.

"Oh? Where is Yunwu Mountain?" Yun Hao asked in confusion, a little confused for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you a local cultivator?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise, wondering in his heart how he knew there was a formation master here if he was not a local cultivator.

"I am from the Kingdom of Yue. I was just passing by here on business. I heard that there was a magician here, and I happened to meet a cultivator like you, so I came here to ask about him," Yun Hao explained patiently to the shopkeeper.

"So that's how it is. Daoist friend, if you go west for 200 miles out of here, you will see a mountain covered in clouds. That is Yunwu Mountain," the shopkeeper replied to Yun Hao with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Then I would like to thank you here, fellow Taoist." After thanking the shopkeeper, Yun Hao drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and left the Qingquan Teahouse.

After coming outside, Yun Hao first walked out of Jinma City to the west. After leaving the city, he released the Xuanyuan Sword and flew all the way west.

A few hours later, Yun Hao saw several low mountains in the distance, one of which was vaguely visible and shrouded in clouds and mist. Yun Hao knew that this must be Yunwu Mountain, so he flew down on his flying sword.

When he came to the fog, Yun Hao remembered that the place where Xing Ruyin lived in the original book was covered in fog because of the formation, so he took out a sound transmission talisman, put it to his lips, muttered a few words, and then threw it into the fog. Then he waited quietly outside the fog.

After a moment, Yun Hao saw the clouds in front of him rolling, and then suddenly split in the middle, and a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years older than him walked out.

The little girl's cultivation level is at the seventh level of Qi training. She has an oval face, curved eyebrows, a pair of big eyes that blink, and is extremely quirky. She has long flowing hair that falls to her waist, a curvy figure, and is dressed in a green dress, with clouds and mist on both sides, as if she came out of a painting.

The little girl looked at Yun Hao somewhat at a loss, and asked with blinking eyes, "I am Xin Ruyin, may I ask what business you have in Yunwu Mountain?"

"I came here to look for a formation master named Xin." Yun Hao stared at the little girl, knowing that this was Xing Ruyin, but he pretended not to know.

"You must be here to see your grandmother, but you may be disappointed. She passed away half a year ago." The little girl Xin Ruyin must have recalled some bad memories.
