Chapter 218: Descending from the sky, landing to create waves. This city is called Tianlan!

The wild wind blew, white clouds gathered and scattered.

Three flying boats, like arrows leaving the bow, in a 'pin' formation, headed north all the way.

The creaking sounds were endless.

Luo Chen, standing at the bow of the boat, frowned and looked at the flying boat beneath his feet.

Min Longyu, on the side, hurriedly said, "I have tried my best to reinforce it."

Luo Chen shook his head, "This is not your fault."

Min Longyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The current tattered and precarious state of the Sky Eagle flying boat was indeed not his fault.

In the Battle of Gaoling Plains, the Sky Eagle flying boat bore the brunt.

First, it received a heavy stamp from Tushan, and after landing, it was besieged by Dajiang Gang cultivators.

Even though Duan Feng put it away in time, many parts were still damaged.

Later, to avoid Huo Quan's pursuit, it flew frantically for five days and five nights without sleep or rest.

It was precisely because of this that the journey, which originally took two months, was shortened to less than a month.

The price was that this high-grade flying boat was about to give out.

In fact, this was also why Luo Chen advised Li Yixian to leave most of the mortals behind.

Dragging down the speed was one thing.

The Sky Eagle flying boat not being able to hold up was another.

It wasn't just their Luotian Society.

The flying boats of the Li family and the Nangong family behind also looked tattered and gray.

Fortunately, they were about to reach their destination.

"Society Master, after crossing this Peach Mountain, you will be able to see Tianlan Immortal City!"

"Peach Mountain?"

Luo Chen lowered his head, looking at the mountain ahead that was not very high.

The mountains and plains were full of peach trees.

Branches grew horizontally, and the flowers were as beautiful as brocade.

It was not the season for peach blossoms to bloom.

However!

In the vast mountain, pink, red, and rosy peach blossoms were everywhere.

Pavilions and towers were hidden among them.

Figures were shuttling back and forth incessantly.

Some existences were even dazzlingly white.

He frowned, increasing the intensity of his Spirit Eye Technique, but the scene that entered his eyes made his heart heat up.

That was in the wild...

"Cough, cough..."

Min Longyu gave a dry cough and said somewhat unnaturally, "This mountain is an industry of the Peach Blossom Ancestor lineage of the Hundred Flowers Palace; all the business conducted here is flesh-and-blood trade."

"Sounds somewhat similar to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion of Dahe Square?"

"In the low-end market, Peach Mountain suppresses the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. In the entire Tianlan Immortal City, hundreds or thousands of cultivators come here every day in previous years."

So knowledgeable?

Luo Chen looked at him with a half-smile, "Have you patronized it?"

"I have only heard of it, heard of it; I have not patronized it!"

Min Longyu hurriedly waved his hands to show that he kept himself clean.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and didn't care about this matter.

While the two were talking, the cultivators on the flying boat also discovered the Peach Mountain beneath their feet.

Beautiful scenery, beauties.

The rich aura of lust made people blush.

Below, even bolder female cultivators discovered them and waved their handkerchiefs.

"Fellow Daoist, come down and play!"

Luo Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He never expected that there would be such a dissolute place in Tianlan Immortal City.

In comparison, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion of the Hehuan Sect was simply too childish.

"If Fellow Daoist Zeng Wen were still here, this place would be his gentle hometown!"

Luo Chen sighed.

Then his body stiffened.

It wasn't some Tier 3 demon king, nor was it some Core Formation power passing by.

It was just Xiugu passing by behind him, holding her son Zeng Yilong.

It seemed that a pair of eyes had looked at him gloomily.

It seemed he had said the wrong thing.

Amidst the coquettish moans of the demonesses beneath his feet, the flying boat had already passed Peach Mountain.

Instantly!

Luo Chen held his breath.

A huge and majestic city, separated by a great distance, like a city-battering ram, just like that, simply and crudely, crashed into his eyes.

The cyan-black city walls stretched endlessly, a hundred zhang high, spanning hundreds of miles.

Obscure and terrifying magic power fluctuations faintly spread from the city walls.

The higher the realm, the deeper the feeling.

It was as if what was in front of him was not a magnificent giant city, but an ancient wild beast crawling on the earth, indulging for thousands of years!

If it were to wake up, it would turn the land red for thousands of miles, overturning rivers and seas.

His gaze lifted!

Deep in the giant city, a mountain peak that could not be seen to its summit, only its waist, stood tall!

Clouds and mist swirled, appearing and disappearing.

A white giant dragon roared and crashed down from the unseen summit!

No!

That was not a giant dragon!

It was a waterfall a hundred zhang wide, with a height unknown!

Outside the waterfall, colorful escape lights, emitting powerful cultivation bases of at least Foundation Establishment, or even Core Formation, flew in and out like mayflies.

He swallowed his saliva.

Luo Chen asked without blinking, "Where does this waterfall come from?"

Beside his ear, a muttering sound arose.

"Descending from the sky, landing to create waves."

"This city is called Tianlan!"

Tianlan...

Luo Chen took a deep breath, moved his gaze away, and looked back.

All the cultivators of the Luotian Society had come out, densely packed in every part of the flying boat.

One by one, they all looked at this scene in shock.

On the other two flying boats behind, the hunched-backed Nangong Jin tried to stand straight, but in front of this world-class wonder, he appeared even more hunched.

Nangong Qin, sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't stop his body from trembling.

On the Li family's flying boat.

Li Yixian's beautiful eyes were blurred, and ripples faintly appeared in her pupils.

This place was the true destination that cultivators yearned for!

Dahe Square was just a backwater.

That kid Li Ao couldn't stop walking back and forth on the flying boat, pointing at the distant immortal city, shouting and screaming.

Gone was his usual arrogance.

Shoo!

A disheveled Foundation Establishment male cultivator flew out from Peach Mountain behind.

When passing them, he couldn't help but look back and sneer.

"Country bumpkins, you're all stunned, aren't you!"

This sneer was not hidden at all.

Many people heard it.

For a time, many low-level cultivators felt ashamed, wishing they could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Luo Chen shook his head and slowly raised his right hand.

"Raise your heads, puff out your chests."

"We are entering the city!"

Swish!

A uniform sound arose; the Luotian Society cultivators all raised their heads and puffed out their chests, their gazes following Luo Chen's back.

Min Longyu woke up from his immersion in returning to his hometown.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Luo Chen.

At that moment, he felt as if a ten-thousand-foot heroic spirit had erupted!

The stalled Sky Eagle flying boat slowly started up.

The two flying boats behind reacted a bit slowly, but soon followed.

Crossing mountain peaks, high or low, facing the gazes of cultivators one after another.

The three flying boats finally stopped slowly outside a wide moat.

"Extinguish spirits, disembark."

"Flying is prohibited within Tianlan City."

"Outside cultivators, look at the notice board; don't be reckless. Losing face is a small matter, but don't blame Old Xu for not reminding you if you lose your life!"

Before the moat.

A huge drawbridge hung over the wide river surface.

An old man wearing a snow-white long gown was speaking loudly.

It didn't seem aimed at anyone, but the cultivators entering and exiting nearby couldn't help but cast their gazes at the three flying boats in mid-air.

"So dirty, how long have they been traveling without cleaning?"

"Tsk tsk, that one in the lead, I'm afraid it's about to fall apart!"

"One look and you can tell it hasn't been properly maintained; this flying boat is probably scrap!"

"Where did this group of people come from?"

"Don't know, don't recognize a single one; probably refugees from some backwater!"

Excellent perception allowed Luo Chen to catch all these discussions.

His face was slightly unnatural.

He waved his hand.

The Sky Eagle flying boat slowly descended.

However, before it could land on the ground, that old but full-of-energy voice roared over again.

"Where are you stopping, where are you stopping!"

In mid-air, the three flying boats froze.

Duan Feng and the others responsible for controlling the flying boats turned red in the face.

The ground here was so wide, what was wrong with stopping for a moment?

"Stay calm, we are new here; we must follow the local customs."

Luo Chen sent a voice transmission to soothe them.

Duan Feng and the others couldn't help but nod.

"Random parking, watch out for fines!"

"Liuzi, come over and guide them, take them to park the boats!"

Soon, as Old Xu's words fell.

A thin, monkey-like young man who had been waiting on the side flew to the front of the flying boat like a rocket.

Luo Chen first looked at the place where he had been standing before.

There were other cultivators, looking disappointed, cursing and dispersing.

People even fought over the job of parking boats?

In his confusion, the young man bowed to Luo Chen, who was standing at the bow of the boat, quite comically.

"Junior Xu Xiaoliu, everyone calls me Liuzi, or Monkey. Senior, if you are happy, you can call me whatever you like."

Also surnamed Xu?

Luo Chen nodded, "Liuzi, may I ask where we should park the flying boats?"

"Come, just follow me!"

Liuzi gave a hehe smile, stepped on a lotus-like cloud incense plate, and flew in front diligently.

From time to time, he would try to curry favor with Luo Chen behind him.

On the flying boat.

Sima Huiniang had already stood behind Luo Chen.

Her gaze narrowed as she looked at Liuzi's back.

"Ninth-level Qi Refining?"

Min Longyu on the side chuckled, "Is the President wondering why a dignified ninth-level Qi Refining expert is doing such a lowly job of welcoming and sending off?"

Sima Huiniang nodded, her face full of confusion.

Even, there was a kind of unacceptable dissonance.

Whether it was Dahe Square or Taishan Square.

Ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators were already considered experts.

Joining a gang, they would at least start as deacons.

In immortal cultivation families, most were elders.

Even as rogue cultivators, they were existences to whom others would give three points of respect wherever they went.

But in this Tianlan Immortal City, this scene of Liuzi nodding and bowing, deliberately fawning, really made her, or rather, many Luotian Society cultivators, unable to accept it.

"Because this is Tianlan Immortal City!"

"An immortal city known for having cultivators like clouds and Qi Refining like rain, where Foundation Establishment True Persons are everywhere, and Core Formation masters are often seen."

"A mere ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator naturally cannot be called an expert."

Listening to Min Longyu's explanation, Sima Huiniang shook her head.

Even realizing this environment, she was still a bit dazed.

"Moreover, the location of the immortal city is often at an absolute traffic hub, playing a role in connecting the relationships between major sects."

"In such places, although there is fighting and killing, more emphasis is placed on resource exchange and business dealings."

"The level that Qi Refining cultivators can involve themselves in is really too narrow."

"Without a background, rogue cultivators can barely move an inch. For any small job, rogue cultivators will break their heads to grab it."

"It can be said that the competition is more intense than in small markets, or even internal strife within sects."

"Those who feel they have no talent might as well leave Tianlan Immortal City and go to other backwaters to seek opportunities. For example, me!"

Min Longyu said leisurely.

The words were not hidden at all, but were spoken openly.

These words were not just for Sima Huiniang, but for all the cultivators of the Luotian Society.

Luo Chen glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Is this taking the opportunity to show loyalty?

Using these words to beat down those with wavering wills in the team.

He even used himself as an example!

Even such a person proficient in formations claimed to be a "person with no talent."

One can imagine that those Luotian Society cultivators at the mid-stage or seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining who heard these words would definitely feel a tightness in their hearts and make up their minds to hold Luo Chen's thigh tightly in the future.

"Exaggerated, brother!"

Luo Chen silently gave Min Longyu a thumbs up.

Xu Xiaoliu, who was flying in front, turned his head with a hehe smile.

"This Fellow Daoist seems very familiar with Tianlan Immortal City!"

Min Longyu tidied his clothes and said solemnly, "I am Min Longyu, from the Min family of Danxia Peak."

Xu Xiaoliu looked at him in surprise.

"Could it be the Min family of the formation path that was once extremely prosperous a hundred years ago?"

"Exactly!"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be any cultivators left in the Min family. What a pity... your Danxia Peak has now become a place for heretical rogue cultivators to mingle, no longer the prosperous scene of ten thousand rays of rosy light and purple energy coming from the east. Are you returning this time to revitalize the Min family?"

While speaking, Xu Xiaoliu glanced at Luo Chen.

A Foundation Establishment True Person, his bearing is indeed extraordinary!

Hearing these words, Min Longyu's interest in talking freely just now also fell.

He forced a smile, "It is already not easy for me to be alive, let alone revitalize the family. And..."

He squeezed out a smile, "In this Tianlan Immortal City, every hundred years, there is no shortage of immortal cultivation families that have scattered like wind and clouds, and my Danxia Min family is no exception."

"That is true!" Xu Xiaoliu nodded, "Ten years ago, the Fu family of Jinghu was gone, and it was fortunate that the successor family head was decisive enough to take all the clansmen far away, avoiding the same fate as your Min family."

The Fu family of Jinghu?

Could it be the Fu family that was destroyed by their Luotian Society!

Many people in Dahe Square know that the Fu family came from Tianlan Immortal City.

Sima Huiniang looked over in surprise.

Min Longyu shrugged and spread his small hands.

It seems it is!

Sima Huiniang couldn't help but laugh and cry; she didn't expect the Fu family to not be able to stay in Tianlan Immortal City, go to Dahe Square, and still end up with the whole family dead.

She didn't know whether to say they were unlucky.

After this episode, Min Longyu's mood recovered a lot.

He said seriously, "Society Master, President, don't underestimate Fellow Daoist Xu. This job of his is still very profitable!"

"Ordinary people can't grab this job."

"Oh?"

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Then!

"Welcome to Tianlan Boat Parking Field!"

Xu Xiaoliu turned around and bowed to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked down.

Beneath his feet, there were hundreds of flying boats arranged neatly on the flat ground.

Among the flying boats, there were small ones that could only carry one or two people.

There were also large flying boats, over fifty zhang long, emitting the aura of top-grade magic treasures.

Like the Luotian Society's Sky Eagle flying boat, which was no more than thirty zhang long, it belonged to the ordinary high-grade flying boats here.

"Come, come, come, everyone follow me, park over here!"

Xu Xiaoliu directed them, and they landed the flying boats safely.

Before he had even parked properly, he opened his mouth and roared.

"Brothers, business is here, hurry, hurry!"

In reality, he didn't even need to roar.

People below had already poked their heads out, wearing hemp clothes, looking up.

"Wait!"

Luo Chen frowned, interrupting the group of people about to surround them.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Xiao blinked, "Senior, your flying boat is so dirty, don't you want to wash it?"

"Look, it's almost falling apart, don't you want to repair it?"

"Not to brag, but the Divine Craft Sect has unique techniques for repairing flying boats; I guarantee we'll fix it to be even better than before!"

Washing the boat?

Repairing the boat?

Luo Chen was stunned by what he heard.

Since when did the cultivation world offer such services?

He couldn't help but ask: "Is it free?"

"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking!"

The one speaking was not Xu Xiao.

It was a man under the sunshade, knocking out his tobacco pipe.

He wore a short shirt and looked at Luo Chen with a smile.

Luo Chen shifted his gaze over, his expression calm.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator!

The reason he was so calm was that he had already discovered this while still above.

Down here, there was more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"How should I address you?"

"Lu Rong."

The man stood up, took a puff from his gray tobacco pipe, and then exhaled a cloud of white smoke.

The smoke did not drift away, and others couldn't even inhale a mouthful.

Instead, it circled around him and seeped into his body through every pore.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

What an eco-friendly way to smoke, perfectly preventing secondhand smoke...

Is he cultivating some secret technique?

Lu Rong walked in front of Luo Chen, stretched, yawned, and said: "Fellow Daoist, that joke of yours is a bit too much. Repairing a flying boat is hard work, consuming both time and materials; how could it possibly be free?"

Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a fake smile: "Then the joke you're playing is not small either!"

"Oh?"

Lu Rong looked at Luo Chen, looking as if he were waiting for the rest.
