One of the Ao family and the Feng family worships the dragon and the other worships the phoenix. The two families dislike each other and have been competing for the title of the number one family in the ten continents for a long time.
As long as these two families get together, there will inevitably be disputes.
Ao Xingyun and Feng Nitian were the most famous geniuses in the two families respectively. They were both arrogant and arrogant people, and neither of them wanted to obey the other.
Several other people were watching the fun, and a handsome young male cultivator with a Suzaku totem painted on his robe even had his hands clasped in his fists, happily watching the show.
"Rather than keep arguing, why don't you two have a fight if you see the real deal?"
However, how could Ao Xingyun and Feng Nitian be provoked by his words? They snorted at each other and stopped.
When the handsome male cultivator saw this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to normal. He walked towards the casual cultivator, minding his own business, and pointed at a few people at random.
"I am the young master of the Zhuque family. You, and you, are you willing to go with my Zhu family to the ruins of the Immortal Palace?"
The people who were selected suddenly looked flattered. Although they had the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, they could barely be regarded as one person.
But if you compare them with the top ten aristocratic families, there is a huge difference.
The top ten aristocratic families have a long heritage, and they have worshiped the sacred beasts of their clans for generations, and their ancestors even gave birth to true saints who transformed themselves into gods. In these ten continents on the sea, they are like the magic needle that fixes the sea, making people yearn for and admire them.
The Zhu family has worshiped Suzaku for generations and is one of the top ten families in the world of cultivation.
Being able to team up with monks from these aristocratic families is more secure than exploring on their own.
"I do!"
"Thank you, young master, for your appreciation!"
But not everyone thought so. One of the black-robed sword cultivators directly rejected his invitation.
"I'm used to being alone, so I won't be a burden to you anymore."
Young Master Suzaku did not expect that someone would dare to refuse his proposal.
He raised his brows slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes, falling on the person who refused.
"Sword cultivator, you are indeed a bit brave. But haven't you heard of the principle that it is easy to break when you are strong? I will give you another chance to answer. Will you come with me to the ruins of the Immortal Palace?"
The black-robed swordsman's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling invisible pressure.
It's just that as a sword cultivator, he has his own persistence in his heart.
The black-robed swordsman took a deep breath and said decisively again, "Sorry, I refuse."
"I admire your backbone, but this backbone is definitely used in the wrong place."
Young Master Suzaku was not angry. Instead, he nodded with admiration and turned around to point at the shadow of the ruins in the distance.
"You look at the beautiful carved railings and jade structures of the Immortal Palace, but you don't know that it is just a mirage in the sea. The real ruins of the Immortal Palace are nothing like what you see!
Inside, the sky is tilted, the buildings are collapsed, and there are broken walls and ruins covered with formations and restrictions everywhere! Only by following our wealthy monks can we have a chance of survival. "
Seeing the black-robed sword cultivator's color change slightly with satisfaction, Young Master Suzaku paused for a moment and looked at the other casual cultivators, "That's all I have to say, it's up to you to decide."
"It sounds nice, but you so-called big families keep claiming that you can protect our casual cultivators, but in fact they just use us as a pathfinder. Even if you really reap the benefits, it's up to you to pick and choose."
A female cultivator wearing a wide-sleeved skirt and covering her face with white gauze snorted coldly.
"You get the benefits. We are going to die. Where in the world can such good things come from? I would rather be buried in the ruins of the Immortal Palace than become a lackey of a noble family like you!"
As soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, several people responded.
"What Fairy Lotus said is very true. We non-religious cultivators don't have to rely on them and look up to others!"
"The ruins of the Immortal Palace were not opened by them, so why do they require us to follow them?"
There was also a bald monk wearing a cassock and a Buddhist bead around his neck, but his face was sinister. He laughed strangely and showed disdain in his eyes.
"Young Master Suzaku? Hehe, it's just because of his birth. I am two hundred years old and have formed elixirs. I have been traversing the sea for two hundred years. I have never seen any dangerous places. How can I be afraid of the ruins of this immortal palace?"
Young Master Suzaku's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened. This group of casual cultivators who don't know the heights of the world are really rampant!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
No matter what, these people have a backbone in life. Even if they are attached on the surface, they will betray in the end. It would be better to work on their own from the beginning.
After they step into the secret realm, they will eventually regret and wake up.
Young Master Suzaku rolled up his sleeves and went elsewhere. The female cultivator named Lotus Fairy and the Evil Buddha took the opportunity to invite the surrounding casual cultivators, and many casual cultivators joined them.
Several casual cultivators in the late Jindan stage saw this and began to develop their own teams following their example.
But so far, no monks from the three fairy islands of Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang have shown up.
It seems that these Immortal Island monks have no intention of absorbing casual cultivators.
Xu Chunniang's first-level cultivation of the golden elixir was at the bottom among the many golden elixir monks. No matter whether they were the talented monks from aristocratic families or those who were famous and famous casual cultivators, they never gave her a second glance.
After all, what they need is a strong person rather than a burden. Naturally, they will only focus on the monks in the middle and late stages of Golden Core.
Therefore, there are many monks in the early stage of Jindan who are in the same situation as Xu Chunniang and no one cares about them.
Seeing that several major families headed by Ao and Feng had chosen their candidates, they left in a war boat.
Several casual cultivating organizations headed by Lotus Fairy and Evil Buddha gradually took shape, and many of them were impatient by the remaining cultivators.
They don't want to break into the ruins alone.
Some people even plucked up the courage to step forward and introduce themselves.
"Young Master Suzaku, can I follow the Zhu family into the ruins? Even though I only have the second level of Golden Core, I am good at refining weapons..."
Young Master Suzaku heard the words and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Weapon refining? I wonder if you can refine the best magic weapon?"
The expression on that man's face suddenly froze. He could at most refine a low-grade magical weapon, but it would be difficult for him to refine even a medium-grade magical weapon, let alone a top-grade magical weapon.
"This...can't be done yet..."
"In this case, I can only express my regret to you."
After Young Master Zhuque finished speaking, he added, "If you are an formation master, regardless of your cultivation level, you can join our Zhu family team."
Hearing this, the eyes of several people present lit up, and they were about to reveal their identities as formation masters, when they heard a voice.
"It's a coincidence that our White Tiger Li family is also missing a formation master. Even if you have just stepped into the Golden Core, as long as you have the attainment of the second level formation, you can join my Li family's team and be protected."
A female cultivator who was slightly taller than an ordinary person and carried a heavy sword on her back strode over. She had an androgynous appearance, was very heroic, and her movements were impressive.
Young Master Suzaku glanced at her, "Why do you follow me wherever I go?"
The female cultivator smiled back, but her tone was not very polite.
"This is not your Zhu family. I can be wherever I want."
