The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 299: 296: Undercurrent

In Ten Thousand Immortals City.

Chu Zhou took Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie for a stroll through the streets, while also making various introductions.

“The Wanxian City is very big, and it’s not the only one. What you see now are just the shops opened by the realms with secret realms in the hundreds of nearby star fields.

In fact, in the unknown dreamland, there are other more distant areas, and there are also other immortal cities."

“Of course, this is only the first floor. In theory, all the powerful beings above the level of Refining Void are not here. They have to go through the Treasure Pavilion to go to the second floor.

That is our goal, but it is too far away from the current Xuanzhen Palace."

“Also, you can look at the shops here and ask questions, but don’t buy anything because they are all fake.

You can ask the store clerks for introductions. Don’t pay attention to their sullen looks. They must explain it to you.”

"My suggestion to you is that you can actually go to that teahouse and spend some time there. It's where all kinds of information are gathered, and there are even storytellers there."

"This storyteller is not just a storyteller, he is also a bit like a 'broker'. A lot of information will be published in the teahouse. If both parties are interested, they can negotiate a deal through the storyteller's introduction."

"I was in the restaurant last time and saw the agreement reached by both parties. It turned out that a sect hired a group of powerful masters to help suppress the rebellion."

“Although we have the restaurant as an intermediary, it is probably very dangerous to bring outsiders into our territory.

Therefore, we cannot do this, you must remember this very well. "

"Also, there are taboos in the Treasure Pavilion, specifically..."

"There are too many good things in Wanxian City. You must not be dazzled. Therefore, you must identify what you need..."

"I have reserved some merit for you, 10,000 for each person, which is not much, but you can choose the magic weapon you need. You can choose it yourself..."

"..."

"........."

Chu Zhou explained in great detail. These were naturally his personal experiences and summaries during this period.

After walking around three streets, he felt that he had explained everything that needed to be explained, so he waved his hand and let the four people go and have fun on their own.

The main function of Wanxian City is to be a trading platform for exchanging what they have.

But it is not easy to make a breakthrough here. There are too many businesses and many good things. If you don’t have your own characteristics and unique products, it will be difficult to stand out and be recognized by everyone.

In this regard, Chu Zhou has been wandering around for so many days, but has not found any advantages of the Red Dragon Realm.

As a secret world that has just been opened, to be honest, we have only opened up spiritual fields and planted some spiritual rice, which can be sold.

But the profits in this low-end Lingmi market are really limited.

In other words, the sale of the Demonic Blue Dragon earned him 900,000 merits, which solved the urgent problem and allowed Chu Zhou to calm down and slowly think of a solution.

The reason why Xu Cheng and the other three were brought over was to let them take a look to see if there were any additional discoveries.

As the saying goes, one person's plans are short, but two people's plans are long. Maybe they will find a good way out.

However, Chu Zhou did not wait here, but went back to the cave and then to Xuanzhen Palace on his own.

No matter what, Xuanzhen Palace is going to hold another immortal gate event with a grand scene.

Although Wei Jinkui and Fan Zhong made the specific arrangements, they were also experienced and took care of almost 99% of the trivial matters.

But there are some things that still require him to make the final decision.

Of course, at this time, Baisha City is worthy of the saying that all the masters in the world have gathered here.

Although no one dared to cause trouble, the situation seemed very peaceful on the surface, and even some ruffians did not dare to cause trouble.

They are not stupid. If they are bullying others and are seen by some hero, it may become a stepping stone for them to become famous.

However, beneath the surface of the water, there are naturally undercurrents.

……

White Sands City,
The person living in the government office was no longer the prefect Ji Mingqian. He simply moved out and gave up his own government office.

Because the nominal master of Chishui Prefecture, his irresponsible father, the contemporary King of Zhou Ji Ruofeng has arrived. He will represent the Dayun Dynasty to attend this Immortal Gate Conference.

It can be said that Ji Mingqian has found a new way and walked out into a smooth road. He is also past the age of lacking love, so naturally he does not want to get too close to this person.

I might as well just hide outside, out of sight and out of mind.

King Zhou Ji Ruofeng was not polite at all. He occupied the government office and used it as a banquet venue.

Today I entertain the local gentry, tomorrow I entertain the elders of the sect, every day I eat and drink, and there are specially brought dancers to entertain me, so I seem to be living a comfortable life.

Of course, if you really think that this person is not doing his job properly, then you are underestimating him.

If you are truly talented and capable and achieve something great while being the King of Zhou, the imperial court may have to destroy you first.

But this time, he could no longer hold back.

It seems like they are just eating and drinking, but in fact they are forming alliances and exchanging ideas. As the Immortal Gate Conference is getting closer, people from the four major sects are all gathered here.

In the living room, the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras were endless, but if you looked around, you could see that those who were eating and drinking were actually the lower class people.

In the inner hall, there were five people either standing or sitting.

The man sitting there drinking tea was actually a big fat man. His aura was not strong, but he had an innate nobility.

If you look closely at his appearance, he is somewhat similar to Ji Mingqian. He is actually the current King of Zhou, Ji Ruofeng.

On the chair on the left, an old monk with white eyebrows sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed and his lips moving, as if he was chanting.

He had a kind face, drooping earlobes, and skin that was a metallic bronze, looking very much like the seated Buddha in a temple.

This one, the abbot of the ancient temple sect, is also the teacher of Master Jin Guang, and his Buddhist name is the Supreme Venerable.

In fact, this Dharma name is actually inherited. Every abbot of an ancient temple is called the Supreme Venerable by the outside world.

The Ancient Temple Sect felt that this Immortal Sect Conference was of great significance, and this person finally couldn't help but show up in person.

In fact, if the emperor of Dayun Dynasty was not allowed to move lightly, he would not be able to help but come.

The person who came from Ba Sect was none other than Xiong Kuohai, the leader of Ba Sect.

Sanqingmen wanted to send someone over, but Qi Wendao directly pushed it back. At this time, he stood in front of the window, looking into the distance in the direction of Xuanzhen Palace.

The Wu Temple lost territory and suffered heavy damage in the last Three Kingdoms War, so this time it sent its only martial arts grandmaster, Sun Wuji, the head of the Sun family.

The pinnacle of power of the Dayun Dynasty was all here, but no one spoke. It was not until a long time later that King Zhou Ji Ruofeng could not help but speak.

He put down the teacup and said, "Everyone, everyone, don't compete to see who can keep calm.

Everyone, tell me, why did Xuanzhen Palace cause such a big fuss and hold this Immortal Sect Conference? "

Someone broke the silence, and everyone stopped being reserved. Xiong Kuohai took over the conversation: "Didn't the Immortal Sect say so in the notice?

The end of the sky opens, the fog covering the sky dissipates, revealing the world in all directions. Let us discuss the future of mankind.

Why, you don't want to believe it?"

What he said made everyone speechless. The Chu Zhou now is no longer the Chu Zhou of the past. The words he said have weight, and they really dare not deny it directly.

Finally, it was Sun Wuji, the head of the Sun family, who spoke up: "Of course I believe it. But besides these, aren't we afraid that Xuanzhen Palace has other purposes?"

"What's the purpose? Territory? Population? Power? Wealth? Resources? Haha..."

Xiong Kuohai sneered a few times: "Do you think Xuanzhen Palace cares about these things?"

"He may not care, but we can't be without vigilance!"

The Supreme Master of the Ancient Temple Sect finally stopped chanting and said in a low voice: "Perhaps, we should keep our actions in line and put some pressure on Xuanzhen Palace?
Even if it is just a statement of position, something must be expressed.

Otherwise, we will gradually lose our voice, and one day, we will be able to get whatever we want. "When King Zhou Ji Ruofeng heard this, he could not help but nod his head. In fact, this is what the Dayun court fears the most.

But Xiong Kuohai couldn't help sneering, because, based on his understanding of Chu Zhou, the result would be best if he did nothing.

If you do unnecessary things, I'm afraid there will be no good results.

After a pause, he looked at Qi Wen and asked, "Brother Qi, what do you think? Or, what do you think about the Sanqing Sect?"

Qi Wendao, who was standing in front of the window and looking into the distance, finally withdrew his gaze. He looked at everyone and said, "Have you never contacted your own land immortals?"

As they looked over, everyone's eyes froze. He nodded and said, "It seems that they are more or less connected. Then, you should know how powerful Master Chu is, right?!"

“A Jindan Great Cultivator could only be considered the lowest rank among the ancient immortals in the ancient times, but at least he has entered the ranks of the ancient immortals.

You and I should all look up to this kind of strength!
What's more, neither you nor I know how many cards this person has and what powerful methods he can use. "

“The rules of the martial arts world are that the strong are respected.

And Xuanzhen Palace, whether you admit it or not, already has strength beyond ours, so we must learn to lie low and learn to survive and grow under the rules set by Xuanzhen Palace."

"I just hope that the request made by Xuanzhen Palace this time is not too excessive!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was speechless, but their expressions were different.

For example, Xiong Kuohai was the calmest, the Supreme Venerable had the ugliest expression, and King Zhou was in a daze.

As a result, the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras in the living room became clearer.

……

Another place.

In the garden-style building, a garden was cleared and a tent was erected abruptly.

This tent is large and luxurious, with tassels all around shining with gold. It is obvious that it cost a lot of money.

The ground was covered with animal skins, colorful, luxurious and barbaric.

In the open space, a bonfire was built and a camel was roasting. The Golden Horde warriors were shirtless and spinning the wheels, and the camel was also roasted until it was golden and oily.

Looking closely, one of the camel's legs had been removed and put into the tent.

There were only four people who were qualified to sit in the tent: a monk from the Great Snow Mountain, the uncle of the current Khan of the Golden Horde, and two priest elders from the largest tribe, all of whom were older.

Judging from their aura alone, they are all at the level of grandmasters, and some have even mastered some strange techniques.

They were much more relaxed than the four major sects in Dayun. After all, Xuanzhen Palace was too far away from them.

But they still showed enough attention to this Immortal Gate Conference.

During the conversation, they were discussing the bottom line they could accept if Xuanzhen Palace made excessive demands.

Of course, he also longed for the benefits that could be gained from Xuanzhen Palace.

……

Another place,
Outside Xuanzhen Palace, a group of people seemed very excited, gazing at the mountains in the distance.

Although the place was shrouded in fog and only the vague outline of the mountain gate could be seen, they still enjoyed it.

The leader of this group was a female grandmaster, with an aura as vast as the ocean, and a beauty so stunning that she could make fish sink to the bottom of water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame.

This one, the elder sister of the current Emperor of Dayan, Princess Murong Yan of Dayan, is young but has amazing talent.

In fact, if it weren't for the strict etiquette and laws of Dayan that forbade women to ascend the throne, this person would have been the best heir to the throne.

It is because this Immortal Gate Conference is too important that this person was asked to come forward.

Behind Murong Yan, there were several people following. Some were dressed like Confucian scholars and behaved in a well-mannered manner; some had a defiant look on their faces and eyes as sharp as knives; and some had a head full of white hair and a serious expression.

"Look carefully, this is Xuanzhen Palace. From now on, it may become the immortal place that everyone in the world yearns for."

……

In a secluded house, three people were staring at each other.

If there were any underworld people around, they would probably jump in shock, because these three people were the leaders of the three major evil cults in Dayun.

The Lord of the Luxian Palace, Gu Taishan, the Demon Lord of the Xuanyue Sect, and the new leader of the Red Lotus Sect.

After a long silence, the Red Lotus leader finally spoke: "Since we were not given an invitation this time, should we not go in?"

"If you're not planning on going in, why are you running here so eagerly?
You dare not make trouble!

But if you say you don’t want to go in and take a look, I’m afraid you won’t be willing to do so, right? "

"So, let's jointly submit a letter to Xuanzhen Palace? Make a complaint and ask Xuanzhen Palace to send us an invitation as well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both the Immortal Slaughter Palace and the Black Moon Demon Lord looked at the Red Lotus leader as if he were a fool.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Taishan said, "Don't tell me that your men don't have any control over the sects that have accepted the invitation, so they can just disguise themselves and sneak in.

If we force our way in, won't Xuanzhen Palace be forced to kill us?"

"Go in quietly, don't make any noise, and don't think about causing any damage, otherwise, that person will probably kill us."

……

On a busy street, both sides are lined with vendors setting up stalls, various hawking sounds can be heard constantly, and there is also steam rising and fragrance in the air.

There was a strange man wandering around the streets. He was big and strong, with sharp eyes, but he behaved like a child.

He looks around, east and west, seems to be curious about everything, and doesn't quite understand the prices. Every time he buys something, he spends a piece of silver.

After a while, he held several strings of candied haws in his left hand and a number of candy figures in his right hand. He ate them as he walked and enjoyed himself very much.

Just as he walked and strolled, he finally walked out of the city gate and followed the flow of people to the outside of Xuanzhen Palace.

The vast mountains were shrouded in fog, and the so-called Xuanzhen Palace was only a vaguely visible mountain gate.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his pupils had turned into vertical pupils, shining with golden light, as if they could see through the fog and see the truth.

In just a moment, the mountain protection formation responded. The light blue light curtain suddenly became thicker, as if it was about to explode in response to the stimulus.

The weirdo's face changed, and he immediately lowered his head. The light in his eyes faded, and the aura around him was restrained to the extreme. His figure flashed, and he disappeared.

The clouds and mist rolled, and a disciple of Xuanzhen Palace came out on a cloud, looking around, causing a commotion.

However, after searching for a while, they found nothing and left.

At the corner, the weirdo raised his head slightly, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but murmured:
"This mountain protection formation is quite impressive. It can even stop people from peeping at it. It has improved a lot compared to the past."

“As expected, Chu Zhou from Xuanzhen Palace has obtained the blessed land and become the master of the secret realm.

I really didn’t expect that after all these years of fighting, it was the latecomers who got the chance.”

"But I want to see if you can accept this great opportunity."

……

On the lonely peak,

Chu Zhou, who was meditating, saw the fluctuations of the formation and felt something in his heart, but he did not investigate further.

The Immortal Sect Conference is just around the corner, so it is normal for someone to be watching. As long as there is no trouble, he will ignore it.

Everything will be settled after the Immortal Gate Conference is over!
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and counted with his fingers, only to find that time passes by in cultivation, and the Immortal Sect Conference, on May 15th, is actually tomorrow.
