Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Hearing the words "opportunity," the surrounding people instantly grew excited.

However, Xu Zhangqing's eyebrow raised, and he instantly became alert in his heart.

At this moment, Zhao Qianyun's loud voice was heard: "Actually, this opportunity is known to many people; it is called Rumeng Island."

"It's actually Rumeng Island?"

"I heard it appears once every hundred years!"

"The reason the Zhao Family suppresses the Five Great Families is because they went to Rumeng Island once!"

Sure enough, the surrounding people discussed animatedly.

The discussion regarding this opportunity appeared extremely heated.

Xu Zhangqing slightly narrowed his eyes, thinking secretly in his heart: "Judging from the surrounding people's reactions, quite a few people know about this Rumeng Island.

But those who have truly landed on the island seem few and far between.

Moreover, a hundred years ago only the City Lord's Mansion people went up."

However, such an opportunity, Zhao Qianyun didn't keep it for himself but announced it to the public, even seemingly wanting to invite everyone to participate together — there is absolutely something fishy here.

You can always believe Zhuqi Peak will drop all kinds of damaged spirit tools and artifacts, but you absolutely cannot believe pies will fall from the sky.

In an instant, Xu Zhangqing's attention was once again entirely focused on the spirit meal before him, not caring about the content Zhao Qianyun spoke of next, and he ate away on his own.

"Rumeng Island appears once every hundred years; our City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families invite everyone to land on the island together!"

"Of course, not participating is fine too; everything depends on your own choice!"

"If anyone is willing to join, they can stay after eating dinner!"

Zhao Qianyun did not introduce the contents on Rumeng Island in detail, nor did he forcefully require everyone here to participate; he merely issued an invitation.

Those willing to participate can stay after finishing the meal.

Those unwilling to participate can just leave directly after finishing the meal.

Hu Bugui at the side asked: "Lao Xu, are we participating?"

Xu Zhangqing said indifferently: "Once the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference ends, we have to return to the immortal sect to do business; where would we have time to participate?"

Hu Bugui reacted and nodded: "Indeed."

For the Gui Xu Secret Realm, the few of them went all out.

Not to mention selling all the most valuable things on their bodies, they even borrowed a sum of money.

If they cannot make a big profit by seizing this opportunity, they will have to eat chaff and swallow vegetables for a very long time in the future.

As for the matter of Rumeng Island, it indeed conflicted in time.

Therefore, seeing Xu Zhangqing not planning to participate, the rest naturally lost interest.

Time quickly passed by one hour, and it was already deep into the night.

The banquet also reached its end; those who ate and drank their fill and were unwilling to participate left one after another.

Xu Zhangqing and the others naturally were no exception.

Only, they were different from others.

Others not only had to leave Zhenjiao Tower, but also had to leave Jiao Nest District.

Conversely, Xu Zhangqing and the others not only didn't need to leave Jiao Nest District, they even lived in Zhenjiao Tower.

All this was because Chu Qiu and Zhao Qianyun had a very good relationship, so they received preferential treatment.

Otherwise, only people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families had the qualification to reside in Jiao Nest District.

Because rooms were limited, apart from Li Xianglin who had a room to herself, the rest — Xu Zhangqing, Chu Qiu, Li Sancai, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Han Su — all shared two to a room.

Xu Zhangqing was arranged to room with Chu Qiu.

Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue roomed together.

Li Sancai and Han Su roomed together.

Chu Qiu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, facing the window absorbing the faint water spirit Qi while asking: "Junior Brother, I heard from Hu Bugui that you guys went to the Sea Demon Pavilion?"

Xu Zhangqing lay on the couch, fiddling with the Spirit Nurturing Envoy's token in his hand, and replied upon hearing this: "Originally just wanted to take a look, never expected to run into a sucker who insisted on treating us.

No choice, we could only go underwater and played around."

Chu Qiu smiled playfully: "The 'playing' was the Joint Membership Technique, right?"

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Senior Brother has played it too?"

Chu Qiu shook his head: "Haven't played it, just that Zhao Qianyun once introduced a mermaid princess to me.

Said that as long as we marry properly, we can enjoy the Yin-Yang Harmonization brought by the Joint Membership Technique.

Even obtain the Mermaid Race's resource support."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Is that mermaid princess called Xuan Zhu?"

Chu Qiu shook his head again: "No, she is Xuan Zhu's elder sister, called Liyuan!"

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed in surprise: "These mermaids' names, how come each is more tongue-twisting than the last?"

Chu Qiu understood a little, therefore explained: "Their real names are much longer and more complex than these.

The reason they're tongue-twisting is mainly due to translation."

Xu Zhangqing realized and changed the subject: "Then is Senior Brother participating in tomorrow's Qianfan Zhengdu Conference?"

Chu Qiu glanced at him: "Originally I wasn't interested, but considering you need a water spirit root to nourish your wood spirit root, I thought about it and decided to participate."

Xu Changqing hurriedly waved his hand: "Not necessary."

Chu Qiu took a deep breath, said in a deep voice: "How precious Liquid Water Essence is, you aren't unaware.

A mere Flower Bud Boat cannot repay this favor."

After confirming the hundred-year-scale Qianfan Zhengdu Conference would reward a Water Spirit Source Crystal for first place.

He made up his mind to participate, and help Xu Changqing obtain victory.

Even if this time's opponents included Zhao Wuji of the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect.

Bei Yun Immortal Maiden of the Yao Yue Immortal Sect.

Even Evil Cultivators.

……

……

The next morning, Si hour.

Equivalent to nine o'clock.

Xu Changqing and the others all left Zhenjiao Tower, one after another approaching the port hosting the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference.

Because a boat can carry at most two people to participate, Li Sancai and the others chose to rent boats.

No wonder people of Xuanxin City know how to do business.

Right near the location where the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference is held, there are several rental merchants.

Although they can't compare to the travel tools cultivators use daily, using them to participate in the contest is no problem.

Types are also very rich, divided into four kinds.

Respectively: Boat, Zhou, Suo, Raft.

Boat is Lingmu Boat, advantage is more stable, disadvantage is slow speed.

Zhou is Polang Boat, advantage is fast speed, disadvantage is unstable.

Suo is Feiyu Shuttle, advantage speed even faster, disadvantage lacks agility.

Raft is Liu Wood Raft, advantage gets more stable the more it soaks, disadvantage speed extremely slow.

The cheapest Liu Wood Raft no one buys at all, after all people participating in the Qianfan Zhengdu Conference are all aiming for the top ten rewards.

Therefore, if one really lacks a travel tool, almost all would choose Boat, Zhou, Suo.

Result unexpectedly, someone really chose "Raft".

Who?

Zhao Ziyue!

Hu Bugui asked in disbelief: "Lao Zhao what are you doing?"

Zhao Ziyue shrugged: "I'm not taking rewards, just want to go to Fengbo Domain to fish."

Hu Bugui instantly got anxious: "You're not going with me?"

Zhao Ziyue righteously countered: "When did I ever say I'd go with you?"

Hu Bugui instantly stared wide-eyed, a good while before saying: "You... you... ayo wo cao!"

He indeed didn't ask, after all with the two's relationship, it was practically tacitly understood they'd cooperate.

Result unexpectedly, this guy only had fishing in mind, didn't plan to get rewards at all.

Xu Changqing seeing this laughed and cried, hurriedly reminded: "The conference is about to start!"
