Su Fan was sitting cross-legged in the cabin of the flying boat, holding an ancient book in his hand and looking at it intently.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in……"
An elder deacon who was at the ninth level of Qi training opened the door and walked in, saluting Su Fan respectfully.
"Uncle Master, the flying boat has entered the airspace of Qingyang Immortal City..."
The other party's name was Zhou Ji, and he was one of the several deacons and elders who led the team to participate in the exchange meeting in Qingyang Immortal City.
After hearing this, Su Fan put down his book and nodded to Zhou Ji.
"I understand, you go ahead..."
After a while, with a muffled sound, the flying boat landed steadily at the airport square outside Qingyang Fairy City.
Su Fan stood up from the ground, then opened the door and walked out of the cabin.
At this time, dozens of young disciples from the sect who came to participate in the exchange meeting were lining up to get off the flying boat.
When these disciples saw Su Fan, they all bowed to him respectfully and made way for him.
Su Fan smiled at them and waved them to go first.
After all the disciples got off, he followed them out of the flying boat.
At this time, the disciples in the sect had gathered in the square, Meng Chao and Shen Yue were also standing in the crowd, and the little girl even made a face at him.
Su Fan ignored them and went straight to several deacons and elders.
"You guys go with your people, I'll go take a look around the city..."
After he said that, he turned around and left. Anyway, he was only responsible for escorting, and he didn't want to participate in what happened next.
It had been a long time since I'd been to Qingyang Fairy City, and Su Fan felt that there were a lot more monks on the streets.
Moreover, he found that many monks were not from the Qingyang Mountains.
What is going on? Could it be that monks from the East China Sea have arrived.
Su Fan found a tavern on the street and had a quick bite, then asked the waiter in the shop.
His guess was correct. Those foreign monks on the street were indeed from the East China Sea.
It is said that they arrived in the past few days by long-distance teleportation array. This is only the first batch of monks supported by the East China Sea. More people will arrive from the East China Sea one after another.
Qingyang Fairy City is the fairy city closest to the East China Sea. It is a transit station leading to the interior of the Central Plains.
All the monks who came from the East China Sea to support them had to transfer to the long-distance teleportation array in Qingyang Fairy City to go to the central region of the Central Plains.
The arrival of the Donghai monks also made Su Fan relieved.
He has long seen that if he wants to clear out the cults near the Qingyang Mountains, it is definitely impossible to rely on the three major immortal sects.
If you want to completely wipe out the Luotian Sect in the Central Plains, you still have to rely on capable monks like Xihuang and Donghai.
After leaving the tavern, Su Fan thought for a moment, and then took out a message jade talisman from the ring.
"What are you doing……"
He sent a message and it didn’t take long for the person to reply.
"Brother, how are you doing in Nanman?"
After hearing He Bin's words, Su Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay……"
He couldn't tell him that he was thrown into the Central Plains by an old Yuanying monster.
"Brother, guess where I went..."
After hearing what this guy said and thinking about the Donghai monks in the city, Su Fan instantly guessed where he was.
"You are in the Central Plains..."
"Um...how did you know that I was in the Central Plains? Are you here too..."
Su Fan was amused by this guy. He Bin was a person who loved to show off.
Now that the monks from the East China Sea have entered the Central Plains, the demon monks from the Western Wilderness should also come.
"It's a good guess. I heard that the Demon Sect of the West Wilderness and the monks of the East China Sea have already entered the Central Plains..."
"Actually, I don't want to come at all. My elders in the family forced me to come..."
Su Fan thought for a moment and asked: "I just want to know how those immortal sects in the Central Plains persuaded the Demon Sect of the Western Wilderness..."
"Don't tell me yet. I really know this. I heard from my elders that the Central Plains Immortal Sect gave up large areas such as Yongzhou, Ganzhou and Lanzhou in the eastern part of the Western Wilderness."
After hearing He Bin's words, Su Fan was stunned.
The price paid by the Central Plains Immortal Sect was not small. They even gave up the eastern edge of the Western Wilderness. I guess they also had to pay something on the East China Sea side.
It seems that the Central Plains Immortal Sect is really in trouble. This is just inviting the wolf into the house.
The Central Plains Immortal Sect occupies the area with the richest spiritual veins. Aren't they afraid that the monks from the East China Sea and the Western Wilderness won't leave?
"By the way, let me ask you something. Are Su Youzhen and Gu Qinghuan here?"
"Haha... I knew you would ask this. It seems that they are not here. It is said that their master is keeping them in underground seclusion."
Su Fan sighed, this girl is so cruel, she doesn't even give her a chance.
He and He Bin chatted for a few more words, and then cut off the jade charm.
Su Fan wandered around the city for a while, looking around the shops, and then he chose two top-quality protective instruments in one shop.
He didn't spend any spirit stones, and directly exchanged some trophies he picked up in Haoyuan Immortal City for these two magic weapons at a discounted price.
The level of weapon refining in the Central Plains is indeed very high. You can buy top-quality protective magic weapons at any store, and the price is really not expensive.
Meng Chao and Shen Yue were short of everything else, but they were short of protective weapons.
After purchasing the magic weapon, Su Fan came to Shuiyun Sect's station in the city.
Since the ancestor of the sect broke through the golden elixir, the Shuiyun Sect's residence has been moved to a larger courtyard.
The conditions here are much better than the previous station. Su Fan has an independent courtyard here.
When he returned to the courtyard, he contacted his two apprentices and asked them to come over.
After a while, Meng Chao and Shen Yue came to the small courtyard.
"Master, what do you want from us..."
Shen Yue entered the room and sat down next to Su Fan, and asked with a smile.
Su Fan took out two exquisite boxes from the ring and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Master, what is this..."
Shen Yue opened the box in front of her, her eyes widened suddenly, and she blinked.
"This... this is the best magic weapon. Is it for me..."
Seeing Su Fan nod, Shen Yue hugged his arm and started acting coquettishly.
"Master, you are so kind..."
Listening to the little girl's snoring sound, Su Fan pushed Shen Yue away with disgust on his face.
"I don't expect you to get any good rankings in this exchange meeting, but you can't embarrass me either..."
Meng Chao nodded heavily after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Master, we will try our best..."
"Okay... take your things and get out of here, don't bother me here..."
The next morning, Su Fan was sitting cross-legged in the house and had just finished practicing Hunyuan Gong when there was a knock on the door.
Su Fan went out to take a look and found Zhou Ji and others standing outside the door.
He frowned and said impatiently: "You have something to do with me..."
Zhou Ji grimaced and saluted him respectfully.
"Uncle, today is the first day of the exchange meeting. You have to show up no matter what..."
Su Fan originally didn't want to go to the scene, but Zhou Ji said so, so he had no choice but to nod.
Zhou Ji chuckled and said, "Uncle Master, after today, you can go about your business and we won't bother you anymore."
"I know, you go ahead, I'll be there in a minute..."
After Zhou Ji and others left, Su Fan sighed. He originally wanted to fish for a few days, but he still had to show his face.
The three major immortal sects hold an exchange meeting in Qingyang Immortal City every year, and more than a dozen sects near the Qingyang Mountains will send their disciples to participate.
In fact, this kind of exchange activities between sects is also the tradition of the major immortal sects in the Central Plains.
When there was no cult in the past, the top fifty disciples in this exchange meeting would go to other Nascent Soul Sects further away to continue participating in exchange meetings.
It is said that every exchange meeting held by the Nascent Soul Sect is an unprecedented event.
If a talented disciple performs well in the exchange meeting and is lucky, he might be accepted by a large number of seniors.
This exchange meeting in Qingshan Fairy City was held in a closed square in the city, which contained more than a dozen huge arenas.
When Su Fan left, people from various sects had already arrived.
Stepped stands were built around the square. There were several Jindan monks sitting on the upper level of the frontmost stand, and the bottom was filled with foundation-building monks from various sects.
Su Fan came to the grandstand and found an inconspicuous place to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, a foundation-building monk next to him raised his hand.
"Xiao Wen of the Qinghong Sect, which sect does my fellow Taoist belong to? You look strange..."
Su Fan also didn't expect that he would meet a Zilai Shu. Although he didn't want to talk to him, he couldn't act too cold.
"I'm from Shuiyun Sect, I just started..."
Xiao Wen immediately became energetic after hearing this, chatting with him excitedly, and kept asking about Shuiyun Sect.
Ever since the ancestor of the Shuiyun Sect broke through the Golden Core Realm, he has been envied by countless people.
Su Fan dealt with it word by word, but this guy wasn't done yet, which made him very annoyed.
It was not a problem to continue like this, so he changed the topic.
"Fellow Taoist, I have been in retreat inside the mountain gate. I heard that monks from the East China Sea have recently come..."
"is not that right……"
After the other party finished speaking, he turned around and looked behind him, and said: "Did you see the senior Jindan sitting in the middle above? He is the Ziwei Immortal Palace from the East China Sea..."
Su Fan also turned around and saw a middle-aged female cultivator in the late Jindan stage sitting in the middle of the top bleachers.
"Is Ziwei Immortal Palace the Nascent Soul Sect?"
Xiao Wen nodded, leaned over and whispered: "Have you not seen that several Jindan from the three major immortal sects are trying their best to please that senior..."
He pointed to the foundation-building monks on the edge of the stand and sneered.
"Those people are also from Ziwei Immortal Palace, and they are all extremely arrogant. I just said hello to them, but no one paid attention to me..."
Su Fan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. I don't even want to talk to you like this.
"I belong to the Nascent Soul Sect, so it's normal to be a little arrogant..."
Xiao Wen came over again and lay beside Su Fan's ear.
"Haha... It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away. This time the three major immortal sects are in trouble..."
After hearing what the other party said, Su Fan was stunned. The Qingyang Mountains could not be a bargaining chip given to Donghai by the Central Plains Immortal Sect.
Even if this is true, it has nothing to do with him at all.
"No way, can the major immortal sects in the Central Plains just let the East China Sea stay in the Central Plains..."
Xiao Wen sneered and said: "A few days ago, I heard the news that a Nascent Soul Sect in the central region fell. The evil cultivator opened a space channel and summoned several great demons from foreign lands..."
"What……"
Su Fan was stunned after hearing this. It seemed that things were serious.
He originally thought that the Haoyuan Sect had broken through the sky, but he did not expect that the situation in the elite areas of the Central Plains would be so corrupt.
If you really can't do it, just run away. It seems that Zhongyuan can't stay any longer.
Su Fan finally figured it out. This was not a cult at all. It was clearly the foreign demons from Daluotian who wanted to invade the world of cultivation again.
Of course, this is just Su Fan's guess.
Even if this is the case, only the top leaders of the major super sects will know the truth.
But once a war breaks out between the two worlds, this world of cultivation will not be a pure land anywhere.
After all, he shouldn't have traveled through time.
"Bang..."
At this time, a dull bell rang from the square, waking Su Fan out of his chaotic thoughts.
Xiao Wen came over again and whispered: "It is said that the disciples of Ziwei Immortal Palace will also participate in this exchange meeting. This clearly means that they are going to step on the three major Immortal Sects..."
There was a sense of gloating in the other party's tone. It is estimated that these small sects participating in the meeting today all have this mentality.
In the past, the exchange meetings in Qingyang Immortal City were mainly about the competition between the disciples of the three major sects, and these small sects were the foils.
If Ziwei Immortal Palace really wants to take over the Qingyang Mountains, it is not impossible to use this method to attack the three major sects.
The bad blood between these sects was not important to Su Fan at all.
He just wants to leave the Central Plains as soon as possible. Maybe one day the entire Central Plains will become a battlefield.
Once Daluotian's foreign evil spirits invade the world of cultivation, foundation-building monks like him will definitely be cannon fodder on the front line, and even golden elixir monks will be in danger.
During this period, you should visit Qingyang Fairy City frequently.
Once the situation in the Central Plains worsens, hurry up.
Thinking of this, Su Fan tried to ask: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, is there any way to the East China Sea?"
Xiao Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, not only do you want to go to the East China Sea, but also people from the three major immortal sects have the same idea. I heard that the teleportation arrays in each major immortal city have a Jindan senior in person. Sit down."
At this point, Xiao Wen sighed.
"Sigh... Two years ago, someone told me to leave the Central Plains as soon as possible. I didn't take it seriously. Now I can't leave even if I want to..."
Su Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. If it didn't work, he would find a place that was inaccessible and hide for a few years before coming out.
He thought about it but couldn't think of a way out. When he came to his senses, there were already disciples starting to compete in the ring below.
"Look, the disciples from Ziwei Immortal Palace are here..."
Su Fan sat up straight, looked in the direction of Xiao Wen's finger, and saw two monks at the sixth level of Qi training standing opposite each other on a ring.
Xiao Wen chuckled and whispered: "The people from Ziwei Immortal Palace are facing off against the disciples of Tianyue Sect. It will be fun to watch..."
Su Fan also became interested and said that the East China Sea monks often fought against the beast tides of the Sea Tribe and their fighting power was very powerful.
So he also wanted to use this competition in the ring to see what was so good about these monks from the East China Sea.
