Jingmen.
It's early morning.
The chill of late autumn has already appeared, and the vast East Lake next to it adds a bit of coldness to this late autumn day.
The city gate was already open, and amid the shouts of the patrolling soldiers, the people who gathered at the city gate also headed into the city in an orderly manner.
Among the crowd, Chu Mu, dressed in a green robe, looked at the city gate in front, with a hint of trance in his eyes.
The scene when I left Jingmen seemed to be right in front of me, but the road to immortality was long, but it had already been several years.
And he, after a few years of wasted time, officially entered the path of immortality from a spiritual monk, and became a true immortal cultivator.
Now, I have finally accumulated some knowledge, and I have a little more hope for the future.
As people flowed into the city, after several years, this Jingmen City seemed to have not changed much from when he left.
Following a familiar route and walking in the city for a while, the plaque he personally wrote in his memory came into view clearly.
Baicao Pavilion.
Chu Mu stared at the plaque blankly, his thoughts racing.
Nanshan Mine, Nanshan Town, down the river, and then to Jingmen...
The scenes from the past seem to be still vivid in my mind.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof!"
"Wangcai, what are you doing!"
"Wangcai, come here!"
A familiar roar suddenly sounded, followed immediately by a clear shout, which also came from the backyard.
Chu Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stared at the direction from which the sound came.
I saw a black shadow leaping over the courtyard wall and running towards him!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chu Mu caught the rush of Wangcai with a smile on his face, as if he was laughing from the bottom of his heart.
"Woooooooo..."
Wangcai whimpered and kept rubbing his head, seeming extremely excited.
"You little bitch, you have a really sharp nose!"
Chu Mu rubbed the dog's head and grinned. After not seeing him for several years, the puppy had obviously grown stronger again. He looked almost like a black panther.
"Brother Mu!"
"Brother Mu, are you back?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of surprise within the courtyard wall. Immediately, Xu Yuan climbed over the courtyard wall and saw Chu Mu rubbing the prosperous fortune, and he could not hide his joy.
"Let's go in first."
Chu Mu glanced at the surroundings, waved his hand, grabbed Wangcai, jumped up, and fell into the courtyard of the medicine hall.
"Brother Mu!"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuan returned to the courtyard again, standing next to Chu Mu as before.
"Young man must have appeared, right?"
Looking at the yard in front of him, Chu Mu asked casually.
"Last year, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the god appeared."
After answering, Xu Yuan couldn't restrain his curiosity:
"Brother Mu, have you found the world of cultivating immortals?"
Chu Mu nodded: "When I come back this time, I am going to take you there."
"Woooooooo..."
On the side, Wangcai seemed to understand, and suddenly he raised his head and whimpered softly.
"Hahahaha, yes, there is also Wangcai, let's go there together."
Chu Mu laughed, this bastard's IQ is almost as high as that of a human being.
"Then I'll go and clean up. By the way, Brother Mu, when are we going there?"
Chu Mu pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision: "It's not peaceful here in Jingmen. Leave Jingmen first!"
Xu Yuan was slightly startled, then seemed to think of something, and immediately said: "Brother Mu, is it over at East Lake?"
"In the past two years, you can often see immortal cultivators in East Lake, and they are all said to be miraculous."
"I heard that the white mist appears every now and then and then disappears mysteriously. What is there?"
Chu Mu frowned slightly: "I don't know, I heard it's some kind of secret realm, but it has nothing to do with us. Let's hide for now, so we don't get involved."
"Okay, let me pack my things first."
Xu Yuan trotted away happily, while Chu Mu stood in the courtyard, stroking the dog's head every now and then, with a hint of thought flashing between his brows from time to time.
He was thinking about where to go if he returned to the world of immortality.
Nearby, the slightly larger markets are basically the territory of the Sun family.
According to his understanding, in addition to the distant Yuhuanggufang City, there are also the Sun family's Changping City, Jingxiang Island, and Crescent Bay.
The closest to Jingmen is Jingxiang Island, which is just above the East Lake.
According to his own opinion, although the black market in Fengming Mountain is full of dangers, its environment is undoubtedly the best for casual cultivators.
There are no monopoly restrictions, as long as there are, you can buy and sell.
Instead of the total monopoly of knowledge and materials in Yuhuanggufang City.
But obviously, the black market of Fengming Mountain is not a place where he can stay now. Moreover, there is no spiritual vein in the black market of Fengming Mountain, and the spiritual energy is thin.
As a black market trading point, it's not a big deal, but as a settlement place, it lacks a lot.
As for the other cities ruled by the Sun family, they had been wasting several years in the Jade Emperor Valley. Chu Mu was really not happy with the family's rule.
A single family system tied by blood is destined to be extremely exclusive.
This was clearly reflected in the original Jade Emperor Valley.
The bustling streets all belong to the Sun family and entities related to the Sun family, and have nothing to do with others.
If you settle there, you are destined to be greatly restricted in all aspects.
In particular, he is still thinking about alchemy and preparing to use the Bigu Pill to open up financial resources. However, this is expressly prohibited in the Sun family's laws. The elixir is also a monopoly of the Sun family. If he wants to sell it, then You have to seek refuge with the Sun family, become a guest of the Sun family, and obtain the Sun family's permission.
"Jade Emperor Valley..."
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and several place names in his mind flickered and disappeared, finally settling on the Jade Emperor Valley again.
According to what the puppet of the Blood Killing Pavilion said before, what he did in the Jade Emperor Valley should not be held accountable by the Changsheng Sect.
The most important thing is that the Jade Emperor Valley is now ruled by the Changsheng Sect.
And the Changsheng Sect...
Chu Mu pursed his lips. The idea of finding a supporter that had gradually dissipated as the alchemy was fully prepared resurfaced uncontrollably.
If possible, he would naturally be willing to be a free and easy casual cultivator.
Now he has some capital to do so.
but……
The scene of the collision of the Eternal Life Ship arriving at the Jade Emperor Valley that day seems to still be vivid in my mind.
What does that mean?
Although Chu Mu was not sure, he naturally had a guess in his mind.
After all, this kind of thing is not difficult to analyze.
What is the relationship between the Sun family and the Changsheng Sect?
From what he knew, the Sun family was equivalent to being part of the Changsheng Sect.
But why was the scene of near-breakup shown that day?
You must know that the Sun family is not the only family of the Changsheng Sect. For example, if he joins the Changsheng Sect, then marries a wife and has children, and reproduces them for hundreds of years, it is equivalent to creating a family of immortal cultivators.
And he is a member of the Changsheng Sect, and there are definitely many members of his family who are members of the Changsheng Sect.
Translated to the secular world, it is obviously the old-fashioned relationship between monarch and minister, but it has adapted to the environment of the world of immortality and evolved into another model.
If this kind of relationship is suppressed, or even shows the intention of breaking up, wouldn't it mean that the emperor of the secular dynasty is afraid of a certain minister, or even a certain group of ministers, and thus suppresses or even breaks it?
The sources of information are limited, and Chu Mu is not sure whether his guess is correct, but if it is true, there is no telling when a storm will suddenly arise in the world of Chu Xiuxian.
When that time comes...
The Sun family's book of laws describes it very clearly.
Such as corvées, compulsory recruitment, and the practices of secular dynasties, the world of immortality can also imitate them.
In other words, as long as he is still in the world of Dachu Immortal Cultivation, if there is a real disturbance, it is impossible for him to avoid it.
If you really have to make a choice, a sect that embraces all rivers is obviously much better than a family tied by blood.
"Let's take a step and see..."
Chu Mu shook his head and sighed. He had already passed the most difficult stage in the beginning of the journey to immortality. From now on, he could just follow the steps.
These speculations may be based on his unfounded worries.
But no matter what, I still have to go back to the Jade Emperor Valley. If I can settle down in the Jade Emperor Valley, it is the best choice at the moment...
