Xiuxian: I have an inventory

Chapter 124 Unexpected Invitation from the City Lord's Mansion

Zhu Xiaochuan talked incessantly. After quietly revealing the information about the newly-appointed Jiang family among the top ten families, he commented on the other nine families one by one.

Some will be reviewed in detail, while others will be briefly mentioned.

He also gave some suggestions, telling Xiao Changqing which of the top ten families were the best and which ones he should avoid if he wanted to join them.

Very considerate, no matter how big or small.

That is to say, Xiao Changqing needed this information now, so he patiently listened to it all, and finally gave him an extra first-grade top-quality talisman as a token of his gratitude.

But from now on, Xiao Changqing didn't want to visit again unless it was necessary.

This new neighbor is really too enthusiastic. He is like a chatterbox and likes to brag.

Before this, Xiao Changqing had never thought that there would be such people in the world of immortal cultivation.

Only in his previous life had he known similar friends.

That guy, who went to a foot massage parlor for a massage, often stayed for extra hours, not for any other reason but because he wanted to chat and brag with the massage girls.

……

……

Xiao Changqing originally thought that the information he got from Zhu Xiaochuan was basically reliable and his speculation should be correct.

The City Lord's Mansion probably doesn't think highly of me, a 'small' Foundation Establishment Stage talisman master of the second rank and lower grade, and won't send anyone to recruit me.

Within a month or two, the people from the top ten families should be the first to arrive.

result.

The day after meeting Zhu Xiaochuan, people from the City Lord's Mansion arrived first.

The person who came was called Yue Feng!
Although this person is not one of the Seven Heroes of Li Yang, nor does he hold as much power as Zhu Xiaochuan's backer Gu Zongyuan, he still has hope of forming a pill in the future.

But this person is also the direct disciple of Master Li Yang.

There are more than twenty disciples of Master Li Yang who are still alive, which is not a small number. However, those who are favored by Master Li Yang are definitely not mediocre people and must have extraordinary and unique qualities.

"Friend Bai, are you used to living in Liyang Xiancheng?"

Yue Feng looks young, has a graceful temperament, and a smile on his face, giving people the impression that he is easy to talk to.

"There's nothing I'm not used to. It's just that the prosperity of Liyang Fairy City is beyond my imagination. I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to slowly get familiar with this fairy city."

Xiao Changqing did not put on airs, nor did he sound nervous; he answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

“Liyang Immortal City is ranked among the top ten cities in the entire Dayu Immortal Cultivation World in terms of scale. Most cultivators will be quite shocked when they come here for the first time.” Yue Feng said with a smile.

After a brief greeting, the two chatted for a while, and Yue Feng asked about Xiao Changqing's background in a roundabout way.

Xiao Changqing naturally did not tell the truth.

None of them said that they came from the southwestern part of the Dayu Immortal Cultivation World, but turned to the west and casually mentioned an Immortal Cultivation Market.

Anyway, there are countless people in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu, and there are more than ten thousand immortal cultivation markets. It is impossible to verify the existence of a foundation-building cultivator who came from thousands of miles away.

With the strength of Li Yang Immortal City, there is no need to have too many concerns about a foundation-building cultivator. If they want to recruit him, just recruit him directly without asking any questions.

In other words, only when a true Jindan Zhenren comes to Liyang Fairy City will his identity be strictly confirmed.

Even the fake Dan Zhenren would not take it too seriously.

Although the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu is vast and boundless, as long as one can form a golden elixir, he can be regarded as a top figure, and almost all the high-ranking officials in the world of immortal cultivation will remember his name.

After all, the total number of Jindan cultivators in the entire Dayu cultivation world is no more than a hundred.

After inquiring about Xiao Changqing's background, Yue Feng stopped beating around the bush and began to explain the purpose of his visit: "Fellow Daoist Bai has been in Liyang Xiancheng for a short time, so he should not have joined a certain faction yet, right?"

Xiao Changqing nodded: "Not yet."

Yue Feng smiled widely, "Then fellow Daoist Bai should have some understanding of the various forces in Liyang Immortal City. Even if you want to join, you should be considering the top ten families. However, I came here today to tell fellow Daoist Bai that if you want to join a certain force, you don't have to consider the top ten families. You can directly join my City Lord's Mansion and become a guest official."

"I have come here today specifically to invite all the Taoist friends."

Xiao Changqing was not surprised.

The fact that the disciple of Master Li Yang could come to his cave means that the City Lord's Mansion is interested in him.

You can't just come here to chat.

"I am grateful to you, Daoist Fellow Yue, for your appreciation..." Xiao Changqing bowed and then asked, "I just don't know what the benefits are of joining the City Lord's Mansion as a guest official?"

It was somewhat beyond Xiao Changqing's expectation that the City Lord's Mansion would send someone to invite him.

After all, he also believed that the cultivation and talisman skills he displayed were not weak, but not strong either. In Liyang Immortal City, he could only be considered to have barely stepped into the threshold of the upper level.

approximately……

Is it equivalent to Nanshanfang being able to accommodate Class B cave dwelling monks?
However, not all cultivators in Class B cave dwellings were invited by the four major families in Nanshanfang. Only those in the top Class B cave dwellings could be invited.

However, Xiao Changqing would not be flattered by this.

With his strength, among the disciples of Li Yang Zhenren, except for the one 'Guang Qin Zhenren' who has formed the golden elixir, the other disciples are not to be feared.

Even if there were two fake elixirs among the Seven Heroes of Li Yang, even if they had refined their own magic weapons like Liang Yuehua and Zhou Songbai, they could not be Xiao Changqing's opponents.

After all, Xiao Changqing now has the Dragon Transformation Body Refining Technique compared to when he was in Nanshanfang. His physical body has reached the second-level middle level, and he also has the Qingxiao Sword Formation.

Therefore, Yue Feng’s invitation is very tempting to most foundation-building cultivators, but to Xiao Changqing, it is just that.

It is not necessarily impossible to join the City Lord's Mansion as a guest official.

But you must come up with conditions that will make him excited!
"Of course there is..." Yue Feng looked at Xiao Changqing in surprise.

I thought that this fellow Daoist Bai was a wonderful person. He was so calm and not excited at all about the olive branch thrown by the City Lord's Mansion, and he asked about the benefits so bluntly at the first opportunity.

Is it because he comes from a small place and hasn’t adjusted his mindset yet?
In a small cultivation market, a cultivator who has established his foundation can be called an "ancestor", who is above everyone else and fears nothing.

But in Liyang Immortal City, all the foundation-building cultivators without any background had to behave themselves...

However, thinking about how their master Li Yang Zhenren had specially summoned their fellow disciples not long ago to ask them to expand the lineup of the City Lord's Mansion, they could relax the conditions appropriately and absorb more monks.

Among all his fellow disciples, Yue Feng's strength and cultivation ranked in the middle to lower reaches, and he himself did not have much power. It was too difficult for him to win over those famous figures in the Foundation Establishment Realm by himself. He could only win over those new cultivators or those whose strength was not too outstanding.

Xiao Changqing is not only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but also a second-level talisman master. In his opinion, he is a very good candidate.

"By becoming a guest of the City Lord's Mansion, you can choose any secret technique, magical power, or second-level peak skill from the City Lord's Mansion's treasury for free. As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, you must know that after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, our magic power is already quite good. We don't need to rely on talismans and magic tools like cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. We are already qualified to practice some secret techniques and magical powers. After entering the door, our strength will be greatly improved."

Yue Feng talked freely, "In addition, you can also enjoy various benefits. For example, the cave house rented by Xiao Changqing should not be cheap, right? If you become a guest of the City Lord's Mansion, you can get a discount on the rent..."

"Also, if you make contributions to the City Lord's Mansion and have merit points, you can exchange them for various magical instruments, magic treasures, and high-level elixirs from the City Lord's Mansion!"

"The inventory of the City Lord's Mansion cannot be compared even if the ten major families are added together!" "So joining the City Lord's Mansion is much better than joining the ten major families and only earning some spirit stones!"

"After all, real treasures cannot be bought with spirit stones."

After saying this, Yue Feng looked confident.

indeed.

If we really want to compare, there is a huge difference between the top ten families and the City Lord's Mansion.

Under the same conditions, any cultivator with brains would choose the City Lord's Mansion instead of the top ten families.

Therefore, if the City Lord's Mansion wants to snatch someone away, the top ten families will definitely not be able to do so.

Yue Feng also believed that Xiao Changqing would definitely agree to him.

But Xiao Changqing was not at all stunned by his promise, and asked cautiously: "I wonder what I need to do to become a guest official of the City Lord's Mansion, and what are the restrictions?"

Yue Feng coughed and said, "There's not much to do. Even though you are a second-level talisman master, the City Lord's Mansion will not force you to draw talismans. If you really need them, we will buy them from you at the market price... In this regard, the City Lord's Mansion is still very fair and will not take advantage of you."

Xiao Changqing nodded.

From this point of view, the City Lord's Mansion is indeed quite good.

Compared with Luoxia Sect, it is much better.

If you join Luoxia Sect, you have to deliver the goods on time and in fixed quantities every month!
but.

With control of the huge city of Liyang Fairy City, there is no telling how much spirit stones can be earned just by collecting rent, not to mention other ways to make money. The City Lord's Mansion is indeed wealthy enough.

“But…” Yue Feng immediately changed the subject and said, “To become a guest official of the City Lord’s Mansion, you need to serve the City Lord’s Mansion for 30 years. During these 30 years, there will be tasks assigned at regular intervals… Of course, these tasks are relatively easy for foundation-building cultivators and there is almost no danger.”

"Friend Bai Dao, you also know that Liyang Immortal City is located in the heart of Dayu Immortal Cultivation Realm, far away from the border, and there will be no war. My master, Liyang Zhenren, is one of the strongest Jindan cultivators in Dayu Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he is almost invincible below the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, Liyang Immortal City will not be invaded by blind villains."

"Most of the tasks assigned by the City Lord's Mansion are about garrisoning, mining, escorting, etc."

"And every time you complete a task, you will be rewarded with merit points, which can be exchanged for treasures."

"So in a sense, there is nothing wrong with these tasks. On the contrary, many guest officials will compete to do the tasks..."

Xiao Changqing fell silent after hearing this.

Yue Feng's words sounded beautiful, but he felt something was wrong.

If he revealed his true strength, which was enough to crush the Fake Dan Zhenren, there would be nothing wrong with the City Lord's Mansion recruiting him.

But he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, a second-rank lower-grade talisman master, and the City Lord's Mansion did not value his talisman skills, so why should they extend an olive branch?

He still doesn't think that what his neighbor Zhu Xiaochuan said to him yesterday was just bragging.

According to the past, the City Lord's Mansion's admission requirements were indeed not met by me.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Thirty years of service..."

"The Demon Cult invaded the Great Yu Cultivation World. The battlefield should be in the southwest. The war will not spread across the Yunwu Mountains and spread to the central region, right?"

'It shouldn't. Even if the war really spreads to Liyang Immortal City, there will be no safe place in the entire Dayu Immortal Cultivation World.'

"Or is it that Liyang Fairy City has some other troubles and needs to recruit more people?"

Xiao Changqing had just arrived in Liyang Fairy City and knew very little information, so he had no idea what was going on.

But subconsciously, he felt that he should be cautious.

He has no shortage of spirit stones now, and as for the high-level items required by the system, he does not need to look for them in the City Lord's Mansion.

After settling down, he found that the Liyang Fairy City was so big that it was full of hidden talents and there were many treasures for him to explore.

After a moment's silence, Xiao Changqing said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Yue. Can you let me think about it for a while before giving you a reply?"

"It's okay. When you have thought it through, please come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me anytime."

Yue Feng nodded.

Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that Bai Wuji was confused and had a high opinion of himself, he still had to consider the olive branch thrown by him on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion.

But he was also confident.

He felt that Xiao Changqing might be waiting for a better price and wanted to see what conditions other forces offered and whether they were better than those of the City Lord's Mansion.

After a while he will find out that a mere second-rank low-grade talisman master is not as valuable as he imagined, and the conditions offered by the City Lord's Mansion are not bad!

Watching Yue Feng leave, Xiao Changqing's eyes were filled with thought.

If after a while he discovered that the City Lord's Mansion was aggressively recruiting guest officials to build their foundation and had lowered the recruitment conditions, Xiao Changqing would give up without hesitation.

Even if it wasn't the evil cultivators from the Demon Cult who attacked, there must have been other changes in the City Lord's Mansion, and they would need to recruit people to do the work.

In the past, the missions in the City Lord’s Mansion were probably not dangerous, and were actually benefits.

But when changes occur, these tasks may really be fatal.

If the City Lord's Mansion remained the same as usual in the next few months and had no plans to expand its enrollment, it would be that Yue Feng had a keen eye for talent and took a fancy to me.

Then there's nothing wrong with joining the City Lord's Mansion.

The period of thirty years is not considered long for a cultivator who is building a foundation.

Even with Xiao Changqing's talent, he might not be able to reach the Jindan realm within thirty years.

Liyang Fairy City has a third-level spiritual vein and abundant resources. It is a good choice to practice here for thirty years.

……

The next half month.

Xiao Changqing received invitations from several of the top ten families, all of which offered good conditions.

Among them, the newly-promoted Jiang family offered the highest conditions, almost as good as those offered by the City Lord's Mansion.

The Jiang family is a family that mainly deals in talismans. Although there is a third-level talisman master in the family, they do not think highly of the second-level and low-grade talisman masters, but they also do not want any second-level talisman masters to join other forces.

Although they cannot monopolize the talisman market in Liyangxian City, they must continue to prevent the talismans of other forces from growing stronger.

However, Xiao Changqing rejected them all.

Although he was somewhat curious about the Jiang family and wanted to meet Manager Hong and Jiang Jiuyue, he thought better of it.

The Jiang family is now one of the top ten families. Manager Hong and Jiang Jiuyue must be living well. There is nothing he can do to help them, so he will not disturb them for the time being. He will wait until he understands the situation in Liyang Fairy City and has firmly established his foothold.
