Liu Qingyi put the bundle of clothes into a bag on one side, held the little civet cat and sat firmly on the back of the wind-bone beast.
This was the first time for him to ride on this beast. Seeing it running like the wind, he couldn't help but thought: "This Yinyuan City is willing to give up and actually gave me and others a Wind Bone Beast."
This journey lasted about four hours. The Wind Bone Beast was moving very fast, and he had already passed seven or eight villages without realizing it.
While everyone was focused on their journey, Chen Sui'er remained silent and walked alone in the middle of the group riding the Wind Bone Beast, while Xu Xiang stayed behind and talked to Liu Qingyi from time to time.
Wu Zhen rode the three-eyed cloud-hoofed beast and walked in the front. The spirit beast's footsteps were even faster than those of the wind-bone beast, which also forced him to walk several times along the way before he had to stop and wait for everyone to slowly catch up.
After walking like this for more than an hour, according to Xu Xiang, they were already outside the scope of Yinyuan City.
The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding scenery began to blur.
Wu Zhen raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the figure who was riding on the three-eyed cloud-hoofed beast paused. He stopped leading everyone forward and found a leeward valley in the forest for everyone to stop and rest.
After sitting for a while, Wu Zhen went around to collect some firewood, took flint and lit it, and formed a circle with others to make a fire.
While everyone ate the dry food they had brought with them, they lit a fire and took a nap. After dealing with this all night, at dawn the next day, Wu Zhen urged everyone to continue on their way.
It took more than four hours for everyone to arrive in front of a huge city. They saw two big black characters "Tianxuan" floating on the city gate, looking impressive.
Wu Zhen took out a nameplate from his pocket and handed it to Ya Cha at the gate of the city. Ya Cha looked at it and invited everyone into the city with great respect, all the way to the gate of Tianxuan City Lord's Mansion. The guards at the gate had already disappeared. The report has gone.
After everyone waited for a moment, a middle-aged man in green clothes came out to greet Wu Zhen. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Wu, please come in quickly. Master Qiu has been waiting here for a long time." After that, there were a few people. A warrior came over and took the wind-bone beast and the three-eyed cloud-hoofed beast aside.
Wu Zhen cupped his hands towards the middle-aged man who came out and said, "City Lord Li, I'm in trouble here." After saying that, he led a few people through the door and followed the middle-aged man towards the inner hall.
Liu Qingyi looked around and saw that the furnishings of the main palace of Tianxuan City were extremely simple. They were all made of the same wooden structure. When he got to the second floor, he saw a tall man with a beard coming out to greet him. He laughed and said: "Old Wu, how can you do this?" Come on, I've been waiting for you all day."
Wu Zhen smiled at the bearded man and said, "You are close to me and I am far away. You should be the one waiting for me."
The two chatted and joked for a while, and the bearded man also introduced the two men and one woman behind him. The men were named Li Feng and Wan Yan, and the woman was named Xiao Wanling. They were all the people selected for enlightenment in Tianxuan City.
The big man with a beard is named Qiu Kuang. He is also one of the thirteen envoys of Lan County who are responsible for bringing Tianxuan City to Tianxuan City. The middle-aged man from before is naturally Li Yuntian, the lord of Tianxuan City.
Qiu Kuang looked at Liu Qingyi and others, chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that Hidden Yuan City, which is always at the bottom, would have three spirit beings appear this year. It's really strange." After saying this, he clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Wu Zhen also smiled and said: "In the past, when we welcomed people over, Wu Chengfeng always had a dark face, but this time he became more generous. Not only did he set up a banquet, but he also brought out several large jars of Drunk Immortal Brew to entertain me. "
Tianxuan City Lord Li Yuntian, who was standing behind Wu Zhen, smiled and said: "Wu Chengfeng always makes fun of people before he sees a rabbit." After saying that, everyone laughed.
After a few people chatted for a while, Li Yuntian invited everyone to have a meal in the side hall. Amidst the excitement of drinking and drinking, the dinner began to talk about the soul selection ceremony, and Liu Qingyi also listened attentively.
It turns out that Lan County is just a county in the southern border of the Immortal Kingdom. The Southern Immortal Sect is headed by the three sects of Tongtian Sect, Tianshou Mountain and Baihua Immortal Valley, which are respectfully called the Shangxian Sect. There are more than ten other relatively powerful immortal sects, large and small. It is called the Lower Immortal Sect. As for the other small Immortal Sects distributed in various counties and some unpopular casual cultivating sects, it seems that they are not included in the Immortal Sect.
This so-called spirit selection ceremony is a grand gathering set up by many immortal sects in the southern region to select spiritual materials. At each spirit selection ceremony, the major immortal sects will send people to each county to select spirits. When they meet a good seedling, the three major immortal sects will There is often a lot of competition.
Each county is proud that the people in the county are the disciples of the three major immortal sects. The county guards who manage the major counties in the south also allocate resources to each county based on the number of children of the immortal sects in the county.
The selection methods of the Spirit Selection Ceremony are divided into three categories: Talisman Fighting, Spirit Fighting and Weapon Fighting. As the name suggests, Fu Dou is based on the comprehension of Tao talismans as the winner. The same talisman seals are given to each spiritual enlightenment person, and they are allowed to comprehend and comprehend on their own for a day, and then the ranking is determined based on the level of Tao talisman stimulation. Spiritual fighting is an immortal magic taught by an immortal master in public, and is also allowed to be understood by oneself for a day, and then the ranking is determined through a competition. In weapon fighting, an immortal master teaches a weapon-controlling method in public. It takes one day to master it, and then the ranking is decided through a competition.
Generally speaking, the higher the comprehensive ranking of the three items, the higher the ranking. There are few exceptions. Of course, the higher the ranking, the higher the personal understanding and potential of using spiritual energy. This is also the quality that major immortal sects pay most attention to when selecting seedlings.
The banquet lasted for nearly two hours. At the end of the banquet, Li Yuntian, the lord of Tianxuan City, took the young man named Li Feng and said to Wu Zhen and Qiu Kuang: "This is the dog Li Feng. When we arrive at the county seat, please invite the two of us." Please take care of me, sir."
Wu Zhen and Qiu Kuang responded with smiles, and Li Feng also saluted them very politely, and his uncle's name was quite smooth.
When leaving the house after the banquet, Li Yuntian gave everyone a small purse, saying that it would be used by everyone on the way. Liu Qingyi naturally left a small purse as well. After weighing it, it seemed to be quite a lot, and thought to himself: " This Tianxuan City Lord seems to be much richer than the Yinyuan City Lord."
A group of eight people and eight riders came out of Tianxuan City. Chen Sui'er still acted like he would not let strangers in, but Xu Xiang was more familiar with him. After a while, he became familiar with Li Feng, Wan Yan and others, and they all talked about Brother Li. , Brother Wan shouted very affectionately.
The woman named Xiao Wanling deliberately approached Liu Qingyi. From time to time she looked at the little civet jumping up and down on Liu Qingyi's body, seeming to be very interested.
Halfway through the journey, the sky gradually darkened. Wu Zhen and Qiu Kuang found some branches and intertwined them together. They also found some vegetable oil and the like and spread them on them. They lit them with fire and held them up for lighting.
After walking for a while, just when the branches were almost burned out, everyone saw a brightly lit city standing in the night sky not far away.
