Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

During the conversation, the car had already driven onto the mountain road of Crimson Blood Mountain and stopped in front of the gate.

Two guards in full armor stood before the gate. Zuo Chang looked up and discovered that they were actually at the twelfth level of cultivation.

A guard walked to the car door and knocked on the window: "Who goes there?"

Luke was very unhappy with his scolding tone.

He rolled down the car window, handed over his business card, and didn't say a word.

"Humph."

The guard, having read the words on the name card, already knew that the person in front of him was the chief steward of the city lord's mansion.

The steward of the city lord's mansion is, strictly speaking, Bai Lin's personal assistant. Although he may not hold any official position, his actual status is definitely not low.

Ordinary people wouldn't bother flattering someone like this; they'd just be polite.

The guard crumpled the business card into a ball and tossed it on the ground: "I'm sorry, Butler Lu. No one is allowed near Crimson Blood Manor without my master's invitation! I haven't been notified to receive you. Please get an invitation from my master and a clear answer before you come!"

Luke leaned back in his car seat: "Who is your master?"

"No comment!"

"This is really strange. You want me to get an invitation from your master, but you won't tell me your master's name. So who should I go to?"

The guard's expression was cold: "If you don't have the connections, then don't bother coming! Crimson Blood Manor is no ordinary place; it doesn't welcome just anyone!"

Luke wanted to swear!

However, considering that Lord Bai was in the passenger seat, it wasn't easy to bring it up.

Bai Lin also sensed the contempt. He immediately opened the door and got out of the carriage, saying to the guard, "Please go and announce that Bai Lin, the city lord of Tianwang City, requests an audience. Or is it that your master is of such high status that I, the city lord of Tianwang City, am not worthy to see him?"

The guard clearly recognized Bai Lin; he glanced at him and immediately looked troubled.

After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be Lord Bai himself... Please wait at the gatehouse, I'll go and inform him right away."

Bai Lin had long since lost his patience: "No need, I'll just stand here and wait. Please hurry up."

The guard acknowledged and went through the gate.

"What a jerk! He's so prejudiced!"

Luke sat in the car and cursed under his breath.

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "That's how it is with nobles; they have many rules."

“Mr. Zuo, I don’t think Crimson Blood Manor is a good guy. Why don’t you go back and call the city defense army?” Luke turned his head. “It’s not that I’m worried about anything. After all, this is Crimson Blood Manor’s territory. They are elusive and who knows how many soldiers they have!”

Zuo Chang shook his head: "Don't worry. If a fight breaks out later, just stay in the car and don't get out."

Luke chuckled: "Although I'm old and my cultivation isn't that high, I was a renowned adventurer in my youth! When it comes to fighting, I'm not afraid of them!"

"Something's wrong."

Suddenly, the god spoke.

She looked at Crimson Blood Manor and said, "There seems to be someone at the Thirteenth Realm inside."

"……what?"

Zuo Chang didn't understand.

“There’s someone in the thirteenth realm inside,” the celestial being repeated. “And he’s walking toward us.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed in a dark green brocade robe strode out of the door.

He laughed heartily, lifted the hem of his robe, and walked up to Bai Lin, looking him up and down. "You must be City Lord Bai Lin? Oh dear, I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly! I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly!"

Surprise flashed in Bai Lin's eyes—

He discovered that the green-robed man in front of him was actually at the thirteenth realm!

Chapter 360 Additional Benefits

What's happening here? !

Zuo Chang was startled and his brows furrowed.

The goddess remained remarkably calm, stating simply, "These must be descendants of the 'Biqier' family."

"……who?"

Zuo Chang asked a question.

The god remained calm and continued, "The recipe I showed you was not my creation, but an ancient method I collected. To be more precise—I summarized and refined it from the ancestral potion recipes of the Bitch family, thus creating something as convenient as 'Divine Crystals,' and then began my plan."

"The Biqier recipe has two obvious advantages: extremely fast upgrade speed and strong combat effectiveness."

"The downside is that it requires cabbage, which can only grow on soil irrigated with divine blood and was once extinct. I was able to successfully re-cultivate it after I killed the water god and the earth god."

“I thought the bloodline of the Beech family had long since become extinct. Even if the family still existed, their recipe must have been lost during the era when the cabbage flower was extinct. But now it seems…”

Zuo Chang hesitated: "You didn't expect them to still exist?"

The god nodded: "There's nothing I can do. After all, I am a god, and it's inevitable that I look down on humans. The fact that the Biqier tribe continues to exist and has preserved their ancient methods far exceeds my expectations. Humans are truly remarkable."

Luke sat in the driver's seat, listening intently.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that both Zuo Chang and the little girl in his arms had serious expressions.

But what are they saying?

I can understand the individual words, but I don't quite understand them when they're put together.

Zuo Chang gradually understood everything.

The Bitch family learned of the existence of the Cactus Flower through some means and immediately came to 96511 to take over the entire Crimson Blood Mountain.

They must have abandoned the advancement method provided by the gods after contracting Crimson Blood Mountain, and instead started cultivating using their ancestral formula—because the enhancement from magic potions has a digestion process, which can take anywhere from a few days to several years. The world level has only just dropped, so it's unlikely that this man in black robes could immediately advance to the thirteenth realm.

This is a rather terrible omen—

The amiable man standing before Bai Lin now is probably not the strongest person in the Crimson Blood Manor.

Zuo Chang said helplessly, "My Lord God, you've shot yourself in the foot."

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a minor setback. Even if we can't get the 'Garlic Flower,' we can hide in the Sea of ​​Reflection and cultivate slowly. You have the power of the Heavenly God, and True Bow has the power of the Wind God. At worst, we can just take White Scale and the others as our followers and cultivate our divine power together."

The gods remained calm.

"With patience, victory will surely be ours."

On the other side, outside the car.

Wearing a dark green brocade robe, "Grim Beecher" looked at the blond man in front of him with some displeasure.

He was just cultivating, trying to digest the demonic potion and break through to the fourteenth realm. He had finally started to feel something when he was suddenly interrupted!

If it were an ordinary person, Green would absolutely not have come out to meet them.

But if we avoid seeing Bai Lin, the city lord, now that he has come in person, and he sends troops to attack us or finds various excuses to harass us, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

"The gods have fallen, that much is certain. The most direct evidence is the collapse of the cultivation system created by the gods—the patriarch has fallen from the fifteenth realm to the twelfth realm, everything is crystal clear!"

"And while all adventurers have declined in strength, my cultivation has remained unaffected..."

"Praise be to our ancestors! Praise be to the gods!"

"Once I reach the fifteenth realm, I will be invincible!"

The head of the household is right.

At this critical juncture, we must be more careful and keep a low profile. We must remember that "the last leg of a journey is the hardest," and the final step is the most crucial and the one we should be most vigilant about.

So Green came out.

Regardless of what level of cultivation this "White Scale City Lord" had before, he is now at most at the twelfth realm.

Having Green, a cultivator at the thirteenth realm, appear would easily create a deterrent effect, preventing others from acting rashly.

but……

"The patriarch is still biased! 'Grey White' is also at the thirteenth realm, just like me, striving to reach the fourteenth realm. Why not let him step forward, but instead make me do it? Is it just because I'm better at socializing? Sigh!"

Suppressing his slight displeasure, Green smiled and said, "Haven't you introduced yourself yet? My name is Green Beecher. What brings you here, Lord White City Lord?"

Bai Lin remained calm. He turned his head and looked at the bright blue flowers inside the courtyard wall: "Nothing else. I've only been the city lord for a short time and am currently inspecting various places. I was driving past Crimson Blood Mountain earlier and found the mountain covered in a riot of colors, a truly breathtaking sight. So I thought I'd come and see for myself—is that the 'Calla Lily'?"

Green nodded: "Exactly. If Bai Cheng doesn't mind, why not come in and take a look? This sea of ​​cabbages is carefully cultivated by us; being in it is like being in a fairyland!"

Previously, Bai Lin had been desperately seeking it.

Now that he saw a person at the thirteenth realm suddenly appear out of nowhere, how could he dare to rush in?

He immediately replied, "I have official duties to attend to, so I won't trouble myself!"

"What a coincidence!" Green slapped his thigh. "Whenever you are free, you are welcome to come. Our Crimson Blood Manor is not open to the public, but Lord White City is an honored guest, so he is naturally an exception."

Bai Lin smiled and nodded, then suddenly said, "Mr. Green, could you please give me a bouquet of kalanchoe? I have a younger sister who loves growing flowers, and I think... she would be very happy if I could give her a bouquet."

"This is not a problem!"

Green Beecher immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to a guard: "Have the 'flower-guarding servant' pick a bunch of flowers and bring them here immediately."

The celestial being, peering through the window, said, "This white scale is quite agile! After seeing the opponent's level, it knew it couldn't force its way in, but didn't want to leave empty-handed, so it immediately adjusted its strategy."

"Bai Lin is a worldly person, and he used to be a member of my main team. What do you think?"

Through the windshield, Zuo Chang looked at Green Beecher, who was wearing a black robe.

That's truly...extraordinary professionalism.

The Bichon tribe undoubtedly understood the importance of the cabbage, not only arranging for "flower guardians" but also establishing rules that required a token to pick it.

More importantly, this family is shrouded in the fog of war, and it is still unknown how many masters are hidden within.

pity.

I don't know if the gods forgot or simply didn't want to tell us, but such important information as the cauliflower was not communicated in a timely manner.

Before the world rankings dropped, with the power Zuo Chang possessed, why would he need to go through all this trouble?

Flatten it completely!

just now……
