Playing the cultivation game in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 46 Ronghua Cui Family

Sheng Fei led his little puppet onto the carriage of the Hexi Chamber of Commerce. The queue moved very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the bottom of the city gate.

"I have met Qinglan Lingjun."

The silver-armored guard at the city gate saw Cui Huanqing on the chariot at a glance, and immediately came forward to greet him.

Not to mention the reputation of the Cui family in Hexi, Cui Liu himself is also the famous Qinglan sword master and a powerful Nascent Soul, so they cannot afford to neglect them.

After a cursory glance at the Chamber of Commerce voucher handed over by the guy in white shirt, the guard in silver armor was about to wave his hand to let him go, when he noticed the two unfamiliar faces on the carriage behind him, and moved closer to the guy to lower his voice.

"Cui Xian, those two faces."

"Why does it look a little suspicious?"

The guy in white shirt waved his hand and secretly glanced at the two motionless people behind him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are serious people."

His face remained calm, and he winked at the silver-armored guard: "We are so familiar, why don't we know what we are going out for this time?"

"Oh, look at my memory!" A look of sudden realization appeared on the silver-armored guard's face, "Then you go in quickly, don't delay."

"Okay, let's go. Come to my house for a drink when you're free."

Sheng Fei was confused by this conversation, but she didn't think much about it, as long as she could enter the city smoothly.

It seems that Cui's guys are very familiar with the guards, that's all.

The imperial capital is an imperial capital after all. Compared with Dayi City and Chiri City, I don’t know how much more spectacular it is.

The avenue at your feet is so spacious that you can build a few small buildings in the middle. It is paved with white jade bricks of the same texture as the city wall. It is uniform in size, hard and neat.

I just don’t know what obsession the people who built this city have with white jade bricks.

That's right, for some reason, the main bodies of various buildings on both sides of the main road are all made of white jade. Shops, teahouses and restaurants, large and small, rise from the ground. At a glance, they are of different heights. Each has its own merits, except for the white flowers.

A consensus was reached.

"Tian Lingling, this shaking makes my eyes hurt a little."

Standing in this city, the scene is different from what I saw in the game. There is less of a barrier and more of a sense of reality. The same ethereal inspiration is also a bit weaker.

No matter how much you want to be immortal, you can't do it like this!

After thanking Cui Huanqing again and saying goodbye, Sheng Fei crawled back into the arms of her little puppet without any embarrassment. The black gauze blocked the dazzling light, making her feel a little more comfortable.

But there were some unscrupulous people who completely wiped out the little bit of fairy spirit she felt in her heart when she first saw the imperial capital.

It's exactly what Sheng Wei and Ying said before, and they knew it after entering the city.

Cui Huanqing, who was about to leave dozens of steps away, frowned slightly when he saw the two of them surrounded by shop assistants.

The waiter in white shirt immediately understood what she meant, took a few steps forward and shouted loudly.

"Whatever you do, whatever you do, just go ahead."

"You're taking advantage of me again, aren't you?"

He cursed and grabbed the two guys who were also wearing white shirts, and his tone sounded like he hated iron.

"Good guys, you two are still following those bastards from Hedong out to defraud and abduct!"

"Go back with me!"

The two guys who were grabbed argued loudly: "No way, Brother Xian! People have one mouth, so we eat based on our ability!"

"Yes, yes! Not shabby!"

All the guys behind them all nodded in approval.

Various forces are entrenched in the Imperial City. There are undercurrents surging in private, and there are many battles on the surface. It is not easy to occupy a place here.

Just like the major business houses, they are trying their best to compete with their peers for customers and attract business.

From finding customers to capturing traces, a complete message chain is formed, and they also have their own set of grading standards for different customers.

Different levels have different reception standards. Some rich and powerful people are happy to be flattered and entertained well, while those who don't like this are worried about saving face and won't say anything.

In the long run, everything will be fine.

"We are regarded as casual practitioners with no roots, no power and a little money."

Sheng Fei lay on Ying's shoulder and whispered in the little puppet's ear.

This kind of little fat sheep that has never seen the world is the easiest to slaughter without any scruples.

If you first hold people up high and then stop after you have squeezed a certain amount of oil and water out of them, you will usually not go too far.

Unlike the disciples of aristocratic families and large sects, these casual cultivators who were cheated would often swallow their anger because of the power behind the trading houses.

"But why don't they have their own reasons for this?"

People with a determined mind are often not tempted so easily.

"Thank you, little brother, for the rescue."

Sheng Fei gestured and handed over a small bag of spirit stones, then leaned out and waved to Cui Huanqing in the distance to thank her, which was regarded as accepting her kindness.

"This is our entrance fee. The sun is very hot today, so I would like to treat you all to a cup of tea."

"Hey, no matter how big things are, you are a practitioner, how can you be so squeamish?"

Cui Xian refused and refused.

"My friend, this is the farewell."

After saying hello to the two of them, Sheng Fei saw him grabbing two of his guys and heading towards the frame. Thinking about the word "Hedong" he just heard, he remembered something again.

"Hexi and Hedong, the Cui family in the imperial capital, I should have thought of it earlier."

She slapped her forehead regretfully. Her memory has been getting worse and worse recently. Why does it feel like she is forgetting more and more?

After taking the detailed explanations of the major forces in the Tianxiao world that she had collected from the Xuanshuang Sect's library, and checking them again with her memory, she was shocked to realize that she had forgotten all the important things!

The detailed explanation of power states that, in addition to the two major holy lands and two major sects, the central imperial capital, Yunxiao City, has been controlled by the top ten aristocratic families for nearly ten thousand years.

Four of the top five giants are the Yun Clan of the Yunxiao Emperor, the Ruoye Clan of the Alchemy Family, the Ziche Clan who has the heritage of ancient weapon refining, and the Long Clan who is said to have the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.

There is a river to the west of Yunxiao City called Ronghua River.

The Cui family, one of the fifth giants, has lived here for generations before the Yunxiao Emperor and Tianxiao Academy were born.

Even though the Cui family has no intention of fighting for power and is focused on making money, its heritage cannot be underestimated.

It is worth mentioning that for the two chambers of commerce opened by the Cui family, according to the rules handed down from ancestors, the head of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce must be a male. In contrast, women are responsible for leading the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.

At the gate of the city, seeing the convoy going away, the guard on the side couldn't help but asked: "Dagu, why can't I understand what you just said?"

The silver-armored guard who was having trouble with Cui Xian earlier looked at his new partner and spoke in a low voice, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Hey, I've actually been in the city for a long time and I know this."

"Tell me about the Cui family. They are rich and powerful, and the people in the clan are also good. However, they have only a few heirs!"

He is not lying. Compared with other aristocratic families, the Cui family can indeed bear the word benevolence.

"It's quite pitiful. Among the younger generation of the Cui family, there are only two single seedlings!"

"Just these two, I don't know what happened a few years ago. They fell asleep and couldn't wake up."

"Isn't there a lot of powerful people in the Cui family? There's nothing we can do about it?"

"Hey, it's no use at all. I looked around the entire imperial capital, but there's nothing we can do!"

"Cui's people are traveling now, either to seek medical treatment or to find medicine."

"Then this really cannot be delayed."

The guard who asked the question nodded in understanding. He always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Cui: You can’t believe it. My family is from Hexi. Hey, my family is also from Hedong! (ノ￣▽￣)
