Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing's party of seven soon descended from the Flying Crossing Point.
The area they were in belonged to the central part of Xuanxin City, namely the Whale Belly District.
Going deeper ahead was the Jiao Nest District, dominated by the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families.
Turning left and following the straight street led directly to the Sea Demon District.
Everyone except Chu Qiu was visiting for the first time, so they were all very unfamiliar with the place.
Xu Zhangqing said, "So, do we find a place to rest, or what?"
Hu Bugui said impatiently, "Old Xu, we definitely have to go to the Sea Demon Pavilion to rest."
Zhao Ziyue nodded in deep agreement: "Right, we came here to..."
Xu Zhangqing ignored those two, after all Li Xianglin was beside them; he looked at Chu Qiu and then cast a questioning gaze.
Chu Qiu said, "I am quite familiar with the City Lord's Son of Xuanxin City, namely the Great Prince Zhao Qianyun; let's go to the Jiao Nest District first."
Since we've come here, we definitely must meet him, and by the way introduce this person to Xu Zhangqing and the others.
Everyone naturally had no objections.
Afterwards, Chu Qiu led the way in front, and Xu Zhangqing and the others followed closely behind.
Everyone followed the road, stepping deeper while sizing up their surroundings.
Because this was the Whale Belly District, the people seen here, whether ordinary people or cultivators, were not simple in either attire or bearing.
Xu Zhangqing thought of someone and silently mused: "Ji Mingxuan of the Linghe Sect once said their sect is near Xuanxin City."
But everywhere here is sea; could it be that the Linghe Sect is on some island?
If there's a chance, it would be good to meet them and visit the Linghe Sect.
After all, this is a sect that provides spirit rice to all cultivation sects, clans, and powers, and its status is not low in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
At this time, Chu Qiu led everyone to the entrance of the Jiao Nest District but did not go in directly; instead, they were stopped by the guards.
"Ahead is the Jiao Nest District, everyone halt!"
"Anyone without an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion or the Five Great Families may not enter!"
The Jiao Nest District is the core among cores in Xuanxin City; only people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families can stay inside.
Besides this, the vast majority of people here, especially outsiders, can only stay in the remaining four districts.
However, Chu Qiu calmly took out a black Xuan Iron Token: "We are guests of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Upon seeing this token, several guards instantly became friendly in attitude, tone, and gaze.
"Since you are guests of the City Lord's Mansion, of course you are qualified to enter the Jiao Nest District!"
"Everyone, please!"
Chu Qiu tilted his head at Xu Zhangqing and the others: "Let's go."
Now no one stopped them anymore; they passed all the way unimpeded and smoothly entered the area before them shrouded in five-colored spirit mist.
Inside was very large, all palace-style buildings.
No shops were seen; it seemed no one did business here.
Of course, it might also be not allowed.
Chu Qiu led everyone straight to the Nine-Story Tower; when they reached the entrance of the first floor, they found someone already waiting here.
It was a middle-aged person, of ordinary build, wearing a semi-old ink-colored brocade robe with dark gold water patterns embroidered on the robe corners.
His face was smiling, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed into two shallow grooves by the smile.
Seeing Chu Qiu and the others arrive, this person immediately welcomed them enthusiastically: "Welcome, Immortal Masters!"
Chu Qiu asked expressionlessly: "Since Butler Lin is waiting here, it shows Zhao Qianyun already knows we've come; where is he now?"
Lin Wufeng replied: "The Great Prince is busy with the matter of tomorrow's Qianfan Zhengdu Conference opening; he asked me to first take everyone upstairs to rest, and he will arrive shortly."
Chu Qiu nodded slightly: "Good."
Lin Wufeng glanced at Xu Zhangqing and the others and asked tentatively: "These few are..."
Chu Qiu said lightly: "They are all my junior martial brothers and sisters!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wufeng was greatly surprised.
Although disciples of immortal sects often come to this side of Xuanxin City to consume and adventure, it was the first time seeing Chu Qiu bring so many fellow disciples over.
Afterwards, everyone, led by this person, entered the Nine-Story Tower.
Lin Wufeng led the way while introducing: "This tower is named Zhenjiao Tower,
The first floor is Xuan Water,
The second floor is Hunting Shadow,
The third floor is Gathering Spirit,
The fourth floor is Weapon Vault,
The fifth floor is Blood Jade,
The sixth floor is Viewing Sea,
The seventh floor is Forbidden Pavilion,
The eighth floor is Shao Residence,
The ninth floor is Zhenjiao!"
Everyone went up one after another, and he introduced things along the way.
This place looked like a tower, but was actually more like a mansion.
Each layer had different content, style, and things, looking especially rich.
If it were someone else, they could at most go up to the sixth layer, which was Viewing Sea.
But Chu Qiu and Zhao Qianyun had a good relationship, so they came directly to the eighth layer.
The so-called Shao Residence was actually the tower layer where Great Prince Zhao Qianyun lived.
This layer had a touch of elegance, with potted plants placed in many places, most of them being emerald green water-pattern bamboo.
This was a kind of bamboo that would not grow up, and many cultivators liked to place it in their homes.
The floor was paved with white jade bricks, looking warm and smooth in texture.
Inside were set a desk, a soft couch, and a pill furnace.
On the desk lay an unfinished Monster Hunting Plan, and beside it were several water demon inner cores being played with; judging by the warm smoothness of their surface luster, they had obviously been rubbed for a long time.
A "Canglan Hunting Jiao Painting" hung on the wall, depicting the scene of the First Generation City Lord slaying the thousand-year Xuan Jiao, and in the corner of the painting there was a line of small text:
"Water can carry a boat, and can also capsize a boat.
Demons can nourish a city, and can also destroy a city."
Xu Zhangqing was very interested in this painting and couldn't help but examine it carefully.
Lin Wufeng saw this and explained: "The Great Prince often uses this painting to warn himself."
Chu Qiu sat down familiarly and then ordered: "Elder Lin, brew a pot of the Saliva Jade Dew that your Great Prince treasures, and let these junior brothers and sisters of mine taste something fresh!"
Lin Wufeng nodded: "Please wait a moment, everyone!"
He turned and left, leaving Xu Zhangqing and the others there.
Some sat down, and some went near the window.
"So many boats outside!"
"They should all be here to participate in the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference held tomorrow!"
"Are we going to participate?"
"If we participate, together or separately?"
Such a grand gathering, although its scale could not compare to the Formal Disciple Competition held by immortal sects, for loose cultivators outside and ordinary immortal cultivation sects and clans, it could be considered lively.
Xu Zhangqing withdrew his gaze from the Canglan Hunting Jiao Painting, then walked to the window position and looked outside; indeed, as Li Xianglin said, many boats were floating on the sea surface.
All kinds, looking very rich.
This time coming to Xuanxin City, there were mainly two reasons.
First, to participate in the hundred-year scale Qianfan Zhengdu Conference.
Second, to come here for on-site inspection.
To see whether to open a second Changqing Wine Shop here, and whether to find someone to cooperate with.
At this time, Hu Bugui spoke up, making an exclamatory sound: "I'm Leaving, this time the hundred-year scale Qianfan Zhengdu Conference, first place actually rewards a Water Spirit Source Crystal!"
