Chapter 267 – Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City, Meeting an Acquaintance
After arriving at Illusory Dragon City, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly found the teleportation array to East Xuan Immortal City.
However, when they arrived at East Xuan Immortal City, they were told that the teleportation array to Wanbao Immortal City would need to wait for another two days before it would open.
Thus, the duo waited for two days in this Dongxuan Immortal City.
It wasn’t until the third day that they were able to sit on the teleportation array to Wanbao Immortal City.
A slight feeling of weightlessness came along with it.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked again, they realized that they had clearly arrived at their destination this time, Wanbao Immortal City.
It had to be said that because of the approaching Ten Thousand Treasures Conference, the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City at this moment was indeed exceptionally lively.
At a glance, almost all of the people were in the black.
At this time, there were still about four months before the Wan Bao Conference officially began.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan naturally needed to find a place for themselves first.
Thus, they found a high-level temporary cave residence nearby.
This kind of cave residence had an abundance of spiritual qi, enough for the two of them to cultivate at the same time.
Previously, they had been busy because they had been rushing.
Even though they had obtained a fourth-order spirit item such as the Sanyuan Spirit Fruit, they simply didn’t have the time to take it and use it to break through their cultivation.
Now that they had arrived at this Wanbao Immortal City and had rented a high-level cave, they already had time to properly cultivate.
Only before this, they also want to first in this Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City to stroll around, see if they can take the opportunity to find the refining of the three elements of the spirit of the Dan’s other materials.
If it was possible, then it would be the best thing ever.
Soon, the two of them arrived at one of the largest stores in this city.
The name was Wan Bao Que Lou.
It was said that the background of this building was clearly the three hegemonic level forces of Yu State.
Hidden Sword Palace, Yuan Ying Immortal Clan Cao Family, and that Ming Zhen Sect.
Seeing the arrival of the two Jindan, the steward in charge of welcoming the guests here didn’t dare to be negligent, and hurriedly informed the shopkeeper here.
This person was about forty years old, wearing the Wanbao Que Lou’s unique shopkeeper’s clothing, and was actually a Jindan level real person.
When he saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, he immediately cupped his fists with a smile on his face and said:
“First, let me introduce myself, my name is Ren Kongming, currently holding the position of Head Cabinet of this Wanbao Que Lou.
The two of you should have come from out of town, right? Nice to meet you!”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both slightly surprised in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, both sides had just met, and the other party actually knew that they had come from outside.
Then he saw Ren Kongming smile and said, “The two of you don’t need to be surprised.
To be honest, most of the fellow travelers in this city, I have more or less met a few of them.
By the way, I don’t know if the two of you want to purchase anything when you come to my Wan Bao Que Lou this time?”
Seeing Ren Kongming he changed the topic, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan simply followed his words.
Then they heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “I wonder if your building has Moonflower Grass, Purple Night Fruit, as well as God-clearing Flower nowadays?”
“Hmm?”
Hearing these names reported by Jiang Chengxuan, a trace of surprise could not help but pass through Ren Kongming’s eyes, seemingly guessing what was going on, but he didn’t ask more questions, instead, he replied after a few moments of contemplation:
“Moonflower Grass and Purple Night Fruit are currently available in our store.
However, we don’t have any stock of the Divine Cleansing Flower.
You should also know that this kind of spirit that can act on the Yuan Shen is generally rarely seen.
Even if you get it occasionally, it will soon be bought away.”
“Is that so?”
Seeing Ren Kongming say this, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts were clearly a little disappointed.
If a large store such as Wanbao Que Lou didn’t have any Clear Spirit Flowers for sale, then I’m afraid that even if they went somewhere else, they wouldn’t be able to find any.
At that moment, the couple first purchased two Moonflower Grasses and Purple Night Fruit from Wanbao Que Lou.
The Moonflower Grass and the Purple Night Fruit, although they both belonged to the fourth class of spiritual objects.
However, their value was not particularly expensive.
At least for a Jindan Realist, it wasn’t particularly expensive.
With two plants of each, it only cost them a total of 200,000 spirit stones.
One had to know that there were some special third-order spirit items that were worth far more than that Moonflower Grass and Purple Night Fruit.
For example, the Purple Xia Jade, or the Purple Heavenly Dan.
At this moment, when Ren Kongming saw that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were about to leave after purchasing the Moonflower Grass and Purple Night Fruit, he suddenly shouted to stop the two.
“The two of you wait a moment first.”
“Hm?”
Suddenly hearing Ren Kongming call out to them, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both turn their heads in some confusion.
Only to see Ren Kongming smile and say, “If the two of you really want that Clear Divine Flower, you can come back to this building to take a look on the day the Ten Thousand Treasures Conference officially starts in four months’ time.”
“Hm?”
Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan still seemed to have some doubts, Ren Kongming also stopped selling the story and directly said:
“This Ten Thousand Treasures Conference, has been divided into two segments, this matter, I’m sure both of you should know about it, right?”
Without waiting for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to answer, Ren Kongming continued:
“This first link is the Wanbao large-scale trade fair.
At that time, there will be corresponding trade fairs held for everyone from Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment to Purple Mansion Jindan.
And this time, the one who is responsible for hosting that Jindan trade fair is none other than this building.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finally came to an understanding.
It turned out that the Golden Dan Trade Fair session of this Wan Bao Conference was placed in this Wan Bao Que Building.
No wonder that Ren Kongming would say that he could come to them to take a look at that time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately nodded at Ren Kongming.
“I see, thanks for reminding Boss Ren.
On the day when the Ten Thousand Treasures Trade Fair begins, my Dao Couple and I will definitely be there. “
After saying that, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both cupped their fists and saluted Ren Kongming before exiting the Ten Thousand Treasures Que Building.
Coming outside, the couple was in no hurry to return to their cave now.
Without that Clear Spirit Flower, they wouldn’t be able to utilize the Ternary Spirit Fruit to refine the Ternary Spirit Pill.
Although they could also directly take the Three Elements Spirit Fruit and use it to try to break through the bottleneck of the middle Jindan stage.
But that would undoubtedly be a very wasteful act.
Unless there was really no other way, otherwise, they did not intend to directly take that Three Elements Spirit Fruit.
Right now, they were going to take a good first stroll through this Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City to see if there was anything else they could use.
At the same time, in Jiang Chengxuan’s heart, he also held a mindset of picking up a leak.
After all, there were many similar plots in the many novels he had read in his previous life.
However, it turned out that novels would ultimately be just novels.
He and Shen Ruyan wandered around for most of the day, not to mention picking up the pieces, there weren’t even many things they could use.
It was basically just things that could be bought or not.
It was very ribbed.
Just when the couple, almost half of the Wanbao Immortal City, were about to finish shopping, they suddenly met a familiar face.
The other party was wearing a silver-colored gauze skirt, with a stunning face, and was the same Jindan female cultivator that they had encountered in the Cliff Sea that day.
At this time, the other party had obviously also seen Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, and their expressions could not help but be stunned.
Everyone obviously didn’t expect that each other would be so coincidental as to actually meet again in this Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City.
“Fellow Daoists, I can’t believe we’ve met again.”
The silver-colored gauze skirt woman was the first to speak.
Only to see her smile, she said, “It was too much of a rush to say goodbye that day, and since we are destined to meet again today, why don’t we just sit together?
Let me introduce myself first, concubine Guan Xin Ting, I don’t know what you two call yourself?”
Undeniably, the impression this woman left on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan that day was still very deep.
During the fight for the Three Elements Spirit Fruit, although they were in competition with each other, when facing the several Demon Kings at that time, the two sides had also had a tacit cooperation.
Most importantly, whether it was Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, or this Guan Xinting, they all abided by some bottom line with each other at that time.
This was also the main reason why the present-day Guan Xinting would speak out and take the initiative to invite Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and his wife exchanged names with Guan Xinting.
As for their respective origins, they tacitly didn’t say much about each other, let alone ask more questions.
A little time later.
A group of three people arrived in the middle of a box called Wan Lai Restaurant.
Only after the waiter here delivered spirit tea and snacks did Guan Xinting look at the two of them with a smile and asked:
“Fellow Daoist Jiang and Fellow Daoist Shen, this time when you came to this Wan Bao Immortal City, you should also be here to participate in this Wan Bao Conference, right?”
With regards to this question, the couple didn’t hide it, and there was nothing to hide, as they directly nodded at the words.
“Pipeline friend should also be right?”
“Uh-huh.”
Pipe Xinting nodded.
Then he heard her continue, “Then do you know that this Ten Thousand Treasures Conference, in addition to the normal sessions of the trade fair and auction, there is also an additional session of True Lord preaching?”
“A sermon by a True Lord?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces couldn’t help but both change.
They really didn’t know about this news that Guan Xinting was talking about.
If this matter was true, then they could already imagine how lively the scene would be when the time came.
For a YuanYing True Lord to deliver a sermon in public, this kind of opportunity did not come along all the time.
As long as one encountered it, it would be a chance.
“Do you know when it is?”
Jiang Chengxuan immediately pursued the question.
It was about the Yuan Ying True Lord’s sermon, and at this time, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t care about anything else.
Just then, he saw Guan Xinting nodded and said, “I know, the time is in half a month’s time, and the location is situated in the Wandu Plain, a hundred miles away from Wanbao Immortal City.”
“Surprisingly, it’s not within Wan Bao Immortal City?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced at each other, a little surprised in each other’s hearts.
If Guan Xinting hadn’t informed them of this matter this time, I’m afraid that by the time the True Lord’s sermon began, they might not even be able to know about it.
As such, they might have missed out on that opportunity for nothing.
Thinking of this, the couple instantly got up, with extremely solemn expressions, and cupped their fists towards Pipe Xin Ting, saying:
“Pipe Friend, thank you for informing my couple of this matter.
If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that my husband and wife would have to miss out on this opportunity this time.”
Guan Xinting immediately waved her hand with a smile and said, “The two of you are overstating things.
With the status of the two of you, even without my reminder, you should be able to know about this matter afterward.”
Although the words were said so, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew in their own hearts that it was their first time coming to this Wanbao Immortal City, and that they were in the dark about a lot of things in this Wanbao Immortal City.
Networking was even more impossible to talk about.
Even as a Jindan real person, in this situation, it would be difficult to obtain news about the sermon delivered by that YuanYing real monarch.
So Guan Xinting’s favor, they had already written it down.
“Right ……”
At this time, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but open her mouth.
“Do you know, Pipe Friend, which True Lord will be the one who will travel to that Wandu Plain to deliver the sermon at that time?”
Regarding this question, Jiang Chengxuan, who was on the side, was obviously also very curious in his heart, and his gaze immediately turned to Guan Xinting.
He heard Guan Xinting say, “It should be True Lord Xuan Yang of the Hidden Sword Palace, this True Lord has delivered many sermons in public before, and has supported many of his juniors.”
“It’s actually him?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts were both a little surprised.
But they knew that this True Lord Xuan Yang had helped them block the Golden Wolf Demon Emperor back then.
If it wasn’t for this person, that Golden Wolf Demon Emperor back then might have personally descended on their Liang Kingdom.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t need to think about what would happen then.
Although in private, there were some people who labeled this True Lord as difficult to communicate with, unsympathetic, and even mean-spirited.
But Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had indirectly been favored by this True Lord, knew that those things were just a table item seen by outsiders.
Those who truly knew and understood this True Lord would never have such a superficial view.
Some time later.
The couple bid farewell to Guan Xinting. Before parting, the two of them once again expressed their gratitude to Guan Xinting and made an appointment to go to the Wandu Plains together half a month later to listen to True Lord Xuan Yang’s sermon.
At the same time.
Inside a store called the Hundred Dan Pavilion.
Shangguan Yongsheng, who had brought Shangguan Maofeng and had arrived at Wanbao Immortal City three years ago, looked at the two people suddenly passing by outside the window, and his eyes instantly became gloomy.
Those two people were no one else but Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who had just parted ways with Guan Xinting not long ago.
Because of the distance, and between the two sides, also separated from the Hundred Dan Pavilion this store’s sake, so at this time Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, and did not notice Shangguan Yongsheng’s gaze.
On the contrary, Shangguan Maofeng, who was located beside him, when he noticed Shangguan Yongsheng’s face, he immediately followed his gaze and looked out of the window of the Hundred Dan Pavilion, and his face immediately changed violently.
“Fourth uncle, is that ……?”
“Uh-huh.”
Shangguan Yongsheng made a silent gesture at him, then shook his head again.
Signaling him not to look that way anymore.
After all, at their level of cultivation, any gaze with hostility or ill will towards them would be easily detected.
Shangguan Yongsheng had also taken this into consideration, which was why he told Shangguan Maofeng not to act rashly.
It was only after the two returned together to their cave residence in this Wanbao Immortal City that Shangguan Maofeng couldn’t help himself and opened his mouth to Shangguan Yongsheng:
“Fourth uncle, those two people just now, are the culprits who killed seventh uncle?
What should we do next?”
Hearing Shangguan Maofeng’s words, Shangguan Yongsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and said:
“There’s no hurry first, I’ll first find someone to try and probe them, to see if they have any helpers within this Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City nowadays.
After thoroughly figuring out the bottom of their immediate situation, we can then consider other things.”
