It is rumored that there is an entrance to the fairy world in the center of Beihai. Although it is not known whether it is true or not, the enthusiasm of the men, women, and children in Fengxi Village for this matter has not diminished.

"When I was young, I didn't know the heights of the world, and I wanted to go there to seek immortality." The old man in a white vest was recalling the past with his legs crossed, and young children gathered around him, their eyes shining brightly. He smiled, Said: "As a result, I almost lost my life..."

"My grandma said the same thing, and she also said there are immortals flying around over there!" a snot-nosed child said excitedly.

"Grandpa, is what Shitou said true?" The children next to him quickly looked at the old man after hearing this.

A girl in purple clothes happened to stop by. Her skin was as white as porcelain and her temperament was extraordinary. She stood out among the sea dwellers who were exposed to the sun all year round. Several black-armed young men not far away looked up from time to time to peek.

When the old man in the white vest saw a guest coming, he immediately put down his cigarette, pointed at the ship not far away and asked: "Where are the guests going? What kind of ship to rent? We charge on time and will never increase the price temporarily, Tong Sou No deception!"

Jiang Ling'er smiled, looked at the old man, and slowly said: "Go to the place you just mentioned."

The sky is clear and the sunlight turns into little bits of gold on the sparkling sea.

It was midday, and the old man sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. The place was so weird that he had vowed never to set foot there again, but the two pieces of gold heavy in his arms tempted him all the time: he would be rich after doing this.

So he gritted his teeth and took the job.

The boat sailed for three days and three nights. Jiang Ling'er held on to the pole of the boat with a solemn expression.

She sensed that the spiritual energy around her was gradually becoming very chaotic, running around like electricity.

"Aling, would you like some grilled fish? I left it specially for you."

The young man's dark skin made his teeth brighter and whiter. He was the grandson of the old man. He was holding up the roasted fish and looking at her with a smile.

Jiang Ling'er turned around, her face with a slight smile frozen for a moment.

Behind the boy, a huge dark crack appeared.

At this moment, the sky and water merged together, and the boundary between the sky and the sea could no longer be distinguished. The black seam that appeared at some point seemed abrupt and strange.

The little snake suddenly stretched out its head and spit out the letter fiercely, its bean eyes flashing with a fierce light.

The spiritual energy flow around him suddenly rioted, and the huge gravity caused it to collapse into a vortex, and all the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked away.

The spiritual energy in Jiang Ling'er's meridians was also mobilized and became chaotic. She swayed from side to side, as if being forcibly pulled and pushed into the sea by an invisible hand.

"Aling, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her expression was wrong, the young man had doubts on his face. He followed her gaze and looked back, but found nothing.

"You, can't see?"

"What did you see?" He turned around, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.

*****

Jiang Ling'er woke up from the pain. She scanned around with her consciousness and found that there were faint cracks in the dry meridians and Dantian.

"Puff, puff." The little snake spat out the message and wrapped it around her arm, its little eyes full of worry.

She remembered that she was pulled into the sea by the spiritual energy flow, and when she woke up again, she was in this completely unfamiliar place.

There is an iron fence in front of you, with dry and yellowing straw at your feet. The only light comes from the small square hole in the upper left.

"Pull out all the female prisoners!" A loud roar resounded through the prison. This roar contained spiritual power and made Jiang Ling'er's eardrums hurt.

It’s a cultivator! Jiang Ling'er was more excited than in pain. What puzzled her was that according to her memory, she should be transported to a sect. This place...

Before she could finish thinking, she was forcibly pulled out of the cell by the man and pulled into a row behind the screen. The others standing there were all girls who looked about the same age as her.

"Madam, which one is more suitable for you?" He glanced at Jiang Ling'er and paused, with a little doubt, then rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly at the woman beside him.

The man glanced left and right. Except for Jiang Ling'er, the rest of the people were all gray-haired, sallow and thin. He tapped his chin in her direction, turned around and walked out with a cold face.

"You're lucky...Why are you still standing there? Follow along!" the man said in a sinister tone.

Hearing this, she quickly followed the woman in front of her.

The two walked through the dark corridor and came to a room filled with red candles.

"Miss, I've found someone." The woman bowed down and said respectfully.

The girl who was called the eldest lady lifted up the gauze and wore a phoenix crown and a haori. She had a touch of golden flowers between her eyebrows, and her bright eyes and white teeth were extremely charming.

She glanced at Jiang Linger, with a hint of joy in her eyes, "Just her."

The Shangguan Mansion is decorated with red lanterns, and red silk brocades are hung from the door to the outside of the courtyard. Flowers cut from red silk are hung on the eaves, corridor corners, and plum trees and osmanthus branches.

"As the second young lady of Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Mingyue, she was sent to live in a village due to her frailty since she was a child. Now she returns to her home to fulfill her engagement. Do you remember?" Linglong stared at her closely. It was that A cold-faced woman.

Jiang Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'll save you this."

"Don't even think about things that don't belong to you. It's just a replacement for the eldest lady's marriage. If you reveal your fault and bring trouble to the house, your 100 lives won't be enough to compensate!"

"Okay, Brother Gu..." Shangguan Mingxin bit her lip, as if recalling something, "I saw her when I was young, she was a good one."

Linglong curled her lips and said coquettishly: "No matter how good she is, she can't compare to the young master in my heart." Then, she glanced at Jiang Ling'er beside her with a hint of meaning, and said in a sinister manner: "I just beat her, so as not to hurt her." Some people think they have turned over, but they don’t know how high the world is.”

The young lady's cheeks turned red and she let out an angry sigh.

Jiang Ling'er didn't answer, her face was pale, Linglong was asking for trouble and gave her a gouging look.

The engagement was approaching, so she used her title as the second lady of Shangguan to find out more information, and gradually learned about the situation here.

Shangguanfu in Tianshui City is one of the five major immortal cultivating families and is an affiliated family of Tianqing Sect.

According to my memory, I know that the Immortal Cultivation Sect has a long history and profound foundation. There are countless arrogant men and heroes in the sect, and they possess natural resources and treasures. It is the place with the most spiritual energy in the world.

Below it is the Immortal Cultivation Family, which belongs to the Immortal Cultivation Sect and is mostly used to provide well-qualified disciples. Correspondingly, the sect will also provide certain resources to feed back.

The Shangguan family has the Tianqing Sect as its backing, and its own strength is not weak. In recent years, it has gradually come to the forefront among the five major families.

This marriage between the two families was also to consolidate the Shangguan family's position in Tianshui City.

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Mingxin came up with a trick to replace the prince with a civet cat.

What worries her is whether the Jiang family, one of the five major families, is related to her father?

A clue appeared and she decided to leave for Jiang's house.

The engagement was held as scheduled, with thousands of miles of red makeup, eight large sedans, and lanterns and festoons all the way. It was full of joy and excitement.

She was sitting on the roadside eating wontons with the little snake.

Any servant in the courtyard has higher cultivation than her at the first level of Qi training, but everyone thinks that she is lucky to marry into the Gu family. Fools know how to choose between being a female prisoner and marrying into a high family. Let her take advantage of a loophole and run away directly.

She asked the snake for saliva that did not contain deadly toxins, and a little bit could paralyze a person's brain and limbs.

So the person sitting in the sedan chair now is Linglong.
