Entering the meeting hall, I happened to see four Taoist friends, two men and two women, chatting about something.
Xie Yu only knew the eldest among them, Taoist Song Wen, and a beauty who was dressed as a woman. This woman looked like a twenty-year-old girl, but had a plump body and charming eyebrows. She was one of the celebrities recently enshrined in Fengyi County. Lotus Sanren.
As for the Taoist Yujie from Shuilu Temple whom the wife of the city lord, Ye Sanniang, talked about, he has not shown up yet.
There is another man and a woman. The man looks bold and strong, and the woman is dressed as a young woman. Although her appearance is not as good as Honglian Sanren, she is also quite gorgeous.
It can be seen that such people who can practice Taoism not only have improved their cultivation, but also have good appearance and temperament.
As for Xie Yu, it was just an accident, so let’s not mention it.
When the four people in the meeting hall saw someone walking in, they naturally wanted to take a look.
The two people Xie Yu didn't know were also above the second level in terms of Qi training and cultivation.
Although the two of them did not use their spiritual sense to explore, they could still feel that Xie Yu's cultivation was higher than theirs.
Therefore, Xie Yu did not laugh at him because of his height. Instead, he looked at Taoist Song Wen.
Taoist Song Wen, who has matured with age, immediately said: "Thank you for the offering, come on, let me introduce it to you!"
"In the future, we may have two new practitioners who can share their cultivation experiences. Let me introduce them to you."
He first looked at Xie Yu and said: "This is fellow Taoist Xie Yu Xie. He is at the third level of Qi training. He is enshrined by Fengyi County. He usually stays in Hantan Valley and doesn't like to show his face very much."
"These two are Yang Dali and Hu Pinggu. They were originally from Zhongtianshui Village in the Twelve Strongholds. Now they plan to join City Lord Xiong."
Yang Dali saluted Xie Yu and said, "I've met fellow Daoist Xie!"
Although Hu Pinggu didn't say anything, she was still blessed, so Xie Yu naturally returned the favor.
Seeing that Yang Dali and Hu Pinggu ignored him, Young City Lord Xiong Ba was not annoyed. He had long been used to the arrogance of cultivators.
However, I did feel a little uncomfortable, so I didn't say hello to anyone else and walked directly to the back hall alone.
Hu Pinggu frowned and whispered: "Although this young man is quite magnanimous. He is lucky enough to be practicing Qi and does not live to be a hundred years old, but he is still just a mortal. He actually has the courage to ignore us. I don't know what his identity is. .”
Not long after I finished saying this, I heard
"Ha ha……"
A burst of hearty laughter came, and at the same time this person said: "Xie's treasure tree occasionally has yellow leaves; Qingcong Junqi, small flaws are inevitable. The person the fellow Taoist is talking about is my nephew, who is also from Fengyi County. Young City Lord, you made fellow Taoists laugh."
Aunt Hu Ping said a little shyly: "It turns out that he is the former nephew of City Lord Xiong. I misjudged him for his extraordinary demeanor for thousands of years."
At this time, a female voice said: "Although my Ba'er has no spiritual roots, he has accomplished the art of Qi training before he was even 3 years old. I wonder how many people there are in this world of Xiaolingnan!"
The woman's voice was somewhat familiar, but as the male city lord came out of the back hall, a charming beauty with a slightly angry face also came out.
Looking at the figure, Xie Yu suddenly thought that this was not Ye Sanniang, the wife of the city lord?
It is said that she has always raised Xiong Ba as her own son, which seems to be true, but today is the first time Xie Yu sees Ye Sanniang without a veil.
It has to be said that this Xiong City Lord is indeed blessed, but after Ye Sanniang reached the Qi training stage and killed the red dragon, he could still have two daughters, which shows the degree of love and affection. He can be regarded as a model couple in the world of immortality.
Following behind Ye Sanniang were the young city lord Xiong Ba and Xiong Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the city lord Xiong who hadn’t been seen for a long time.
In other words, after not seeing each other for a few months, Xiong Jiaojiao's height has grown from 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters. She is not yet 17 years old. This shows that the Xiong family has really good genes.
Xie Yu focused on Xiong Jiaojiao's height. City Lord Xiong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, I have something to say directly. I have called you here today to discuss the Nan'an Mansion Autumn Hunting event that happens every five years. .”
"Originally, the envoy from Nan'an Mansion wanted to see you all, but in five or thirty years, the Minzhou Hunt is coming soon."
"This year, Nan'an Prefecture has sent more manpower to maintain the restrictions on the Wuyin Mountains, so the messenger manpower is somewhat insufficient. The messenger from Nan'an Prefecture has left after passing the order."
"Of course, I think it's okay for me to convey it."
Yang Dali said: "City Master Xiong is so polite. This is why my husband and I are here. I don't know what this year's reward will be like."
"Everyone knows that the Kirigakure Mountains are unusual. The reward is too low. It's not acceptable."
City Lord Xiong said: "In previous years, the exchange price for a complete first-level low-grade monster was thirty to forty spirit stones. This year, it is mentioned forty to fifty spirit stones."
"The corpse of a first-level mid-grade monster is another matter. The price must be more than one hundred spirit stones. As for if you get the corpse of a first-grade high-grade monster, you should discuss this with the people in Nan'an Mansion yourself!"
Yang Dali nodded and said: "City Master Xiong and we are here for this, but if we as a couple hunt down the corpse of a monster, we don't want spirit stones. We hope to replace them with elixirs, preferably golden marrow pills."
City Master Xiong raised his eyebrows and said: "So Fellow Daoist Yang has encountered a bottleneck and is preparing to break through the fourth level of Qi training."
Yang Dali smiled confidently: "I made City Master Xiong laugh, but I don't know if City Master Xiong will give me a chance here."
From the conversation between the two, Xie Yu suddenly understood the involution of this world of immortality.
In the memory of his first life, Xie Yu knew that those sects gained a monopoly by controlling the spread of foundation-building pills and the number of foundation-building monks among casual cultivators.
And the current cultivation force in Xiaonanling should also use the golden marrow pill to limit the increase in the number of monks in the middle stage of Qi training in casual cultivation, thus forming a small-scale monopoly.
This is similar to those sects that restrict the circulation of Foundation Building Pills. It is a version of Immortal Cultivation. Sure enough, monopolization is the nature of high-level humans, and it is the same in that world.
Since entering the world of cultivating immortals, casual cultivators naturally have ideas. Since they can't beat them, they can join or trade.
City Lord Xiong naturally understood what Yang Dali meant. He thought that although he had only been in charge of Fengyi County for a year, no matter what the family members asked him to do every day, he still wanted to make some achievements to show to his clan members.
Immediately City Lord Xiong made up his mind and said: "Fellow Daoist Yang has already considered this request at this time."
"In this case, I, Xiong Chumo, agree. Of course, I have some conditions. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yang can agree."
Yang Dali seemed to have been prepared and said: "Please City Master Xiong speak clearly."
City Master Xiong said: "My condition is that if Fellow Daoist Yang breaks through the fourth level of Qi training after taking the Golden Marrow Pill, I hope that Fellow Daoist Yang can serve as a priest in Fengyi County for ten years."
