The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 537 Sign-in at Golden Seven Cities
At this moment, even Qing Shi was so angry at Xin Lan's words that she gritted her teeth and was so frustrated that she almost vomited blood.

But her smile remained unchanged, and even her breathing was perfectly controlled.

Everyone heard Qing Shi say.

"Sister, you're so concerned about when my husband and I will have children. Could it be that you're already thinking about how to gain favor and win our affections even before you've officially entered the family?"

Qing Shi's words implied that Yin Yang Xin Lan was a jealous and scheming vixen who loved to compete for favor even before she entered the household.

If we were to say what things or words are most likely to pierce a woman's heart.

So, except for a woman who cannot bear children for the man she loves.

When a woman is rumored to be jealous and fond of vying for favor, it is a very hurtful thing for her.

This made Xin Lan grit her teeth secretly once again.

She realized that she had truly met her match.

Before Xinlan could retaliate against Qingshi.

Qing Shi then spoke up again with a laugh.

"Oh, right, my form of address was rather inappropriate!"

I shouldn't have called you "sister" so casually!

"Although we don't really distinguish between elders and juniors in our family, there's always a saying that everything has its order!"

"I'm afraid you'll never have the chance to be my older sister in this lifetime!"

Even if you eventually marry into the family, I should still call you my sister!

"What do you think, little sister?"

Say?
What are you saying?

Xinlan, what nonsense are you talking about!
Both logically and emotionally, Qing Shi's words make a lot of sense in this era.

Could it be that Xin Lan is actually agreeing with Qing Shi at this moment?
Some of the cultivators present almost couldn't help but laugh after hearing Qing Shi's smiling words.

At the same time, they have certainly broadened their horizons today.

I saw another side of the ethereal Qing Shi and the goddess Xin Lan.

Almost all the cultivators believed that witnessing the verbal exchange between the two goddesses was far more exciting than seeing the battle between the celestial maiden and the goddess.

Longma has certainly learned a lot today.

It asks itself, "Have I always been the greatest talker in the world?"

In the realm of verbal sparring, he is virtually invincible in the world.

Once it opens its dragon mouth, it will be unmatched throughout the ages.

But today it has learned something: the ultimate secret of verbal sparring is to criticize people without using any swear words.

Ryoma understands!

"hehe."

"It has always been said that my sister's fighting strength is no less than that of any young master of the ancient road."

"I never imagined that my younger sister's eloquence had reached such a level that I, her older sister, am truly impressed."

Xin Lan chuckled softly.

Opinions vary, and she didn't respond to Qing Shi's comment. Instead, she opened up a new topic, saying that Qing Shi was quick-witted, eloquent, and a gossip.

The cultivators present were all insightful individuals, so how could they not understand the true meaning behind Xin Lan's words?

"Little sister, you're too modest!"

"When it comes to eloquence, elder sister is truly ashamed to admit that she is inferior to younger sister."

"If I have the chance, I would like to learn more from you, my younger sister. I wonder what kind of divine skill or secret technique you have cultivated to make you so eloquent!"

Qing Shi smiled and chatted.

Both of them refer to themselves as the older sister and call each other the younger sister!
They were absolutely unwilling to admit defeat in this matter.

"We're in the same boat!"

"Saying you need to learn more is too modest, little sister!"

"If there's a chance, we could discuss this further!"

"Sister, you will certainly speak freely, and I also hope that you, sister, will speak frankly as well!"

It was Xin Lan who spoke first, and Qing Shi followed immediately after she finished speaking.

"Of course!"

"I think we shouldn't bother looking for an opportunity; let's just do it today!"

"I think today is fine!"

"Although we sisters are meeting for the first time today, I have long admired you, my sister. Why don't we find a place to have a good chat?"

"What do you think, sister?"

As she spoke, a look of mutual appreciation even appeared in Qing Shi's beautiful eyes.

It made it seem like she and Xinlan were kindred spirits.

And Xinlan was the same.

She immediately echoed Qing Shi's suggestion.

Everyone heard what Xinlan said.

"Your suggestion is excellent, little sister. I have long admired you, little sister, and now that we have met, I feel as if we have known each other for a long time. I wish I could sit down with you and have a long talk!"

"It just so happens that I've long heard that the True Phoenix Tower in the Seven Golden Cities is quite extraordinary. Why don't we go and take a look at the True Phoenix Tower? What do you think, sister?"

Qing Shi responded with a smile.

"It is indeed quite a coincidence. Not long ago, I happened to be planning to visit the True Phoenix Pavilion."

"But before I could even step into the True Phoenix Tower, I sensed the commotion outside the city and had to change my plans!"

"My sister's invitation at this time is exactly what I wanted!"

As they talked, the two women seemed to have made a complete plan. They arranged to go shopping together and, looking very interested, left the crowd behind and headed towards the True Phoenix Tower.

Surprisingly, disappointing to onlookers, and even somewhat jaw-dropping, is what...

Qing Shi and Xin Lan were actually as close as sisters. On their way to Zhenhuang Tower, they not only chatted and laughed all the way, but they even held hands.

They looked so close, like they were the best sisters in the world!
This scene truly baffled many of the cultivators present.

It feels like their brains are almost overwhelmed.

There are geniuses from other races, and I really want to shout a few words at them.

"Hey Hey hey"

What's going on between you two?

"They really just left like that?"

"Weren't you two attacking each other with veiled insults just a second ago, acting like two women were fighting over a man, and a scene of the original wife tearing apart the mistress was about to unfold?"

"What's wrong with you two? You're really getting along like sisters now?"

"Where's the spectacular show we've been waiting for—the two goddesses tearing each other apart in front of everyone for a man?"

"Something's not right with this art style."

"Did I miss something?"

There were also some single-minded alien cultivators who were secretly complaining.

"Ha, women."

"Human women are indeed the most fickle and incomprehensible creatures in the world!"

"You never know what they'll become next!"

"Fortunately, I, Old Niu, am devoted to cultivation and will always regard women as insignificant!"

Of course, this excludes those cultivators who are confused, complaining, or surprised.

Some cultivators had already anticipated that this sudden conflict would most likely end up like this.

The reason is very simple.

Neither the ethereal Qing Shi nor the goddess Xin Lan are simple women.

They are all people who care about their reputation.

After today, they might fight to the death over a trivial matter, or even over a weed by the roadside, right in front of everyone.

However, they would never, in the public eye today, stage a scene of two women fighting over a man, or a wife tearing apart a mistress, because of a man.

Not to mention, some gossipy individuals who love a good drama might want to see them verbally abuse each other in a way that damages their image, or even engage in a life-or-death battle.

This situation could never happen here, and it could never happen today.

Because if such a thing happens, the happy ones are those who are just watching the show, and those who are jealous of them.

In the end, it was they, and Lu Zhou, who lost all face and became a laughing stock.
Previously, even if Qing Shi and Xin Lan disliked each other and even wished they could kill each other immediately, they could never really have any major conflict.

This means that from the very beginning, this matter will inevitably be limited to a certain scope.

Even in the end, it will end in a seemingly peaceful situation.

Only in this way can the dignity of the celestial maiden, goddess, and even the domineering immortal be preserved.

"The Immortal Overlord is truly enviable!"

Suddenly, someone couldn't help but utter these words.

This left the already bewildered alien creatures even more confused.

Qing Shi and Xin Lan left, hand in hand, chatting and laughing as they headed towards the True Phoenix Tower. Lu Zhou, at the invitation of the city lord, also entered the Golden Seven Cities to visit his city lord's mansion.

Kane, Hongluan, and Shengpengwang exchanged glances before finally following Qingshi.

Even Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the twelve saints including Long Ma entered the city directly!
In the blink of an eye, most of the main figures who caused the trouble had left.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, people glanced at the lone Golden Snake Fourth Prince standing in the corner and then dispersed.

Ba Xian did not kill Jin She Si Lang Jun and Ye Fan and the others just because they were fighting each other.

From beginning to end, Lu Zhou didn't even glance at Jin She Si Lang Jun, nor did he pay any attention to them.

This is a form of disregard.

Nothing could be more devastating to Jin She Si Lang Jun than this situation.

This made Jin She Si Lang Jun's face look extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a whole cartload of dead children.

Especially the Golden Snake Prince's face, which could no longer be described as gloomy and dark.

He would rather die at Lu Zhou's hands than be ignored by Lu Zhou like this.

He felt he had been insulted like never before.

But he is a very cunning guy.

He knew he was no match for Lu Zhou now.

"I swear, one day I will make you take me seriously!"

"I will kill you in front of everyone!"

He clenched his fists, veins bulging all over his body, and secretly swore an oath in his heart.

The True Phoenix Tower is actually a very large, even magnificent, sycamore tree.

It had been growing for countless millennia, its canopy long since destroyed by a lightning strike, leaving only half of its trunk rooted in the ancient city.

But the remaining half of its trunk is as thick as a majestic mountain.

Countless years ago, it was built into a phoenix tower, the tallest building in this ancient city.

Almost every cultivator who passes through this city wants to climb to the top of the True Phoenix Tower.

But not everyone has the right to reach the top of this building.

In the original novel, there were quite a few bloody deaths caused by the attempt to climb the tower.

Countless renowned heroes and outstanding figures have fallen during their ascent of the tower, becoming fragments of bones that paved the way for others to reach the summit.

After exchanging pleasantries with the city lord at the city lord's mansion, Lu Zhou arrived at the giant sycamore tree.

There are many powerful individuals here, of all kinds, making it quite noisy and bustling.

When Lu Zhou appeared, the scene fell silent.

As if by instinct, the crowd parted to make way for Lu Zhou, creating a path leading directly to the True Phoenix Tower.

No one dared to stop Ba Xian from ascending the tower, and no one dared to lay a hand on him.

This made Lu Zhou's ascent up the stairs incredibly easy.

During his ascent, Lu Zhou saw many corpses.

The death was gruesome, with white bones scattered everywhere.

They were all a group of losers who fell on the road to imperial power.

They died far from home, their flesh and bones becoming stepping stones to pave the way for others' supreme positions.

This became yet another tragic scene on the road to imperial power.

When Lu Zhou reached the top floor of the True Phoenix Tower, Qing Shi, Ye Fan, and the others were already waiting there.

There are not only them here, but also other young supreme beings.

There were about a dozen people, all of whom Lu Zhou did not recognize.

His arrival naturally drew attention.

What surprised Lu Zhou was Qing Shi and Xin Lan.

The two of them actually got together, looking like they were having a great time chatting and wishing they had met sooner.

They acted as if they had really become good friends, even besties.

Lu Zhou didn't know much about Xin Lan; his knowledge of her was limited to some descriptions of her in the original novel.

But Lu Zhou knew Qing Shi very well.

He could tell that Qing Shi's attitude towards Xin Lan at this moment was genuinely one of mutual appreciation, rather than just pretense.

This made Lu Zhou chuckle.

Sometimes, he didn't understand how the relationships between women could be so magical.

In just a short time, two women who had once spoken ill of each other were transformed into friends who shared a mutual respect.

Lu Zhou only found out later.

Qing Shi told Lu Zhou that her dispute with Xin Lan stemmed from a misunderstanding.

After Qing Shi and Xin Lan entered the city that day, they walked along the main road of the ancient city and cleared up the misunderstanding.

Xinlan is an impatient and outspoken person. From childhood to adulthood, she has caused many jokes and even troubles because of her careless words.

As a result, she offended quite a few people.

However, she has an extraordinary status among the gods, and basically everyone in the tribe dotes on her. They also know that she is not a bad person, but sometimes she often speaks without thinking.

Now, her habit of speaking without thinking has improved a lot as she has experienced more.

Xinlan apologized to Qingshi, saying that she had acted out of her old habit and hadn't thought that far ahead, and that she had no intention of competing with Qingshi for a man.

Xin Lan emphasized that she was only apologizing to Qing Shi for this, and it did not mean that she had bowed down and admitted defeat to Qing Shi.

She and Qing Shi remain competitors on the road to the throne.

Xin Lan is also a very proud woman. If Qing Shi hadn't gained her approval, she wouldn't have said these things to Qing Shi, even if she had made a small mistake.

This side of Xin Lan amused Qing Shi.

On the other hand, while there is no shortage of female cultivators along the entire ancient path of humanity, their numbers are certainly fewer than those of male cultivators.

The three most famous female cultivators today are Qing Shi, Ren Wang, and Xin Lan.

They have long been recognized as the three great goddesses on the ancient path of humanity, and the three strongest female cultivators among the younger generation.

Over the years, amidst the adulation and discussions of the cultivators of the ancient road, the three of them have often been compared in various ways.

As these things happen more often, it's inevitable that the three of them will start competing with each other. Although they've never met in person, they will still compete with each other from a distance to some extent.

Over time, Xinlan came to accept Qingshi, and Qingshi, in turn, had also come to accept Xinlan before they met.

It's not surprising or unbelievable that the two of them have a mutual appreciation.

After all, this kind of situation has occurred many times throughout history between competitors and even enemies.

Seeing that Xin Lan had taken the initiative to say this with such composure, Qing Shi, who was also quite proud, naturally took a step back.

In terms of demeanor and cultivation, the Fairy Maiden was no less than anyone else.

Their excellence is not only reflected in their combat strength, appearance, and figure.

And when they cleared up the misunderstanding in just a few words, they showed each other such composure and refinement.

Their interactions and interpersonal skills further increased their respect for each other.

This could be seen as yet another instance of mutual appreciation.

Since they had the rare opportunity to meet here, they started chatting.

As a result, they found themselves getting along very well.

They really did have a very pleasant conversation.

Instead of the feigned pleasant conversation they had in front of others.

They both discovered that they had many similarities with each other.

Equally excellent, equally arrogant
They also share remarkably similar, even completely identical, views on certain matters.

This situation gradually made them feel like they had met too late in life.

Therefore, after Lu Zhou ascended the True Phoenix Tower, he saw that the two goddesses, Qing Shi and Xin Lan, were still gathered together, seemingly having a very pleasant conversation.

Sometimes, the encounters between people are truly magical.

"Sign in!"

Lu Zhou silently signed in his heart.

This is the main reason why he rushed to the Seven Golden Cities.

[Ding! Host has checked in at the Seven Golden Cities and received one Golden Star of the Dao Tribulation, which has been stored in the Host's Chaos Pearl!]

The Golden Star of the Dao Tribulation?
One?
The sign-in result almost made Lu Zhou go numb.

With a thought, he saw a golden planet, roughly the size of Earth, appear inside his Chaos Pearl.

Of course, this area refers only to the area of ​​Earth that is currently visible, and does not include the hidden regions of Earth.

Even so, it's still far too exaggerated.

This golden planet, the size of Earth, is entirely composed of Dao Tribulation Gold, one of the Nine Great Immortal Golds.

Its weight is so great that it is difficult to estimate.

Even for someone as wealthy as Lu Zhou, this was the first time he had ever seen such rare and precious immortal gold being valued at the price of an entire planet.

If this were to get out, even emperors and supreme beings of forbidden zones would probably question their existence.
