Chapter 126 Exchange Meeting

This sentence stunned Zhu Jie, and she asked subconsciously.

"Why are you looking for a cemetery?"

"It's mainly to pay my respects to the seniors in the world of immortal cultivation, especially those who are at the foundation building stage and above. I think close contact with them can improve my understanding." Chen Luo said without any deception.

That sincere expression made Zhu Jie doubt her life.

"You don't want to rob a tomb, do you?"

"I just simply pay my respects to my senior." Chen Luo corrected his words.

Hu Qiudao, who was following behind him, couldn't stand it any more. He could talk about tomb robbing in such a refreshing and refined way, no wonder he could enter the late stage of Qi Refining so quickly.

'I am not as good as Brother Chen in this respect, I need to change.'

Hu Qiudao made a note of something he wanted to learn.

"Don't even think about finding the tombs of cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage. Such existence is rare in the Three Kingdoms region. The ones that appear occasionally are all casual cultivators passing by to build their foundation. Most of these people come and go in a hurry, and you can't even find the people, let alone their tombs. It's only easier to see them in sects." Zhu Jie asked casually as if she remembered something when she said this.

"Weren't you a disciple of Shenhu Xianmen before? Since you like to pay homage to the seniors, why didn't you pay more homage to them when you were in Xianmen?"

"We have already seen it. The seniors in Wudao Peak are all very kind."

Chen Luo missed the days in the mountains.

With so many senior masters, I can catch up immediately if I make a breakthrough. The only regret is that I couldn’t go to the other nine main peaks to "pay my respects", which is a bit of a loss.

Now that I have left the sect, it has become very difficult to find a cultivator's "brain" to replenish my energy.

"!!!"

Hu Qiudao, who was following behind, staggered, feeling as if he had heard some incredible secret. Recalling that Chen Luo was already a tomb-guarding disciple before he came down the mountain, he suddenly understood.

'It turns out that he had already fallen behind his junior fellow apprentice when they were on the mountain.'

While chatting, the three of them passed by the place where the cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining set up their stalls and entered the building where the exchange meeting was held.

When they passed through the gate, the tokens on the three people lit up.

After passing through the door, the number of people around was obviously reduced. The floor also changed from the bluestone floor outside to the white jade floor. The long passage was all white jade, and mist was floating out from the palace lanterns on the wall, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

After passing the passage, there is a huge circular hall in front.

The walls around were all made of wood, with a painting hung every ten steps. The white mist from the palace lanterns made the paintings look magnificent, as if immortals were dancing. There were more than a dozen stalls in the middle of the hall, and a group of people gathered in front of each stall. These people were all strong men above the middle stage of Qi Refining. Those in the early stage of Qi Refining could not even enter the door.

There were more than a dozen vendors at the stalls, and they all spoke in low voices when communicating with each other. It was not noisy at all.

"This hall was arranged by an ancestor of the She Kingdom's royal family. He was once a disciple of the Xingdou Peak of the Shenhu Xianmen and a first-level formation master."

When talking about this person, a trace of longing flashed in Zhu Jie's eyes.

Among the four arts of cultivating immortals, the formation master is the most talented. He is also the most terrifying when he grows up. Whether it is refining equipment or making talismans, the peak level requires the assistance of the formation master. The sect's formation, the family's residence, the development of secret realms, etc., all cannot be separated from the formation master. Even the heavenly tribulation that the Jindan ancestors need to fight against in order to advance to the next level requires the help of the formation master.

Because of this, the status of the formation master is the most transcendent.

The four arts generally recognized in the world of immortal cultivation are formation, elixir, weapon and talisman, but in the eyes of formation masters, except for himself, the other three are all garbage.

"A first-level formation master? Is he old?"

Chen Luo asked.

For the Qi Refining Stage, the maximum life span is 150 years. If you hold on, you may have a chance to get something for free.

Zhu Jie and Hu Qiudao were both silent.

There's no point in discussing this topic.

This Master Chen Dan had an obsession beyond imagination with tomb robbing. He would start thinking about it even before others died.

"You can go shopping by yourself. If you have any questions about Mushan City, just go to the second stall. That stall is set up by the royal family of She Kingdom." After Zhu Jie gave a reminder, she left on her own.

She had a lot of things to do this time, so it was impossible for her to follow Chen Luo the whole time.

After the two sides separated, Chen Luo and Hu Qiudao came to the second stall.

Unlike other stalls, this one was very deserted. There was only an old man wearing the clothes of a royal family sitting here and dozing off. There was nothing for sale on the table, only a map.

The entire terrain of the country of She is on it.

Chen Luo took a quick look. This map divided She Country into nine blocks, 108 regions, and each block had a name. The same was true for the 108 regions below. Chen Luo searched for it and soon found the block where Mushan City was located.

Section 7, Seventy-two Cities.

There is a small "Hu" character on it, which means that Mushan City is the territory of the Hu family.

"This is a distribution map. You just need to press the token on the corresponding area." Hu Qiudao stood behind and spoke as a reminder.

He was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and occupying a city would be challenged. Chen Luo, who was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, was different. At this level, he could seize popular cities like the Divine Wind Domain in She Country, and choosing a small place like Mushan City was definitely a waste of talent.

"There are so many immortal cultivators in She Country?"

Chen Luo was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that such a small country like She would have so many cultivators. The total number was extremely exaggerated. It was estimated that there were nearly a thousand of them.

"Not much."

Hu Qiudao shook his head.

"In such a large territory of She Country, there are only a few thousand immortal cultivators, less than a hundred in the late stage of Qi Refining, and less than fifty in the Perfection Realm. This number of people is not even as good as a main peak for an immortal sect."

After all, those who have the qualifications to cultivate immortality are a minority.

All the cultivators in the Three Kingdoms, including those from the Shenhu Immortal Sect, add up to less than 5,000. Compared with the huge group of ordinary people, their number is indeed small. Many people may never see a cultivator in their entire lives, which is a very normal thing in remote areas.

"Wooden King City"

Chen Luo took out the token that Mr. Hu gave him and pressed it lightly. After this incident, Mr. Hu's favor of giving him the spiritual material was repaid.

As soon as the token touched the map, the aura of the eleventh level of Qi Refining instantly dissipated. The old man who was dozing off next to him was startled by the aura and woke up on the spot. After seeing that the area occupied by Chen Luo was Mushan City, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This senior, I don't know..."

The old man stood up and tried to get close to Chen Luo.

However, Chen Luo, who had completed the transaction, had already left with Hu Qiudao. He threw the token to Hu Qiudao and walked towards the herbal medicine stall not far away. When he came over just now, he noticed that there were many spiritual materials he needed on the stall.

"Fortunately, we didn't rob the Kamikaze Domain, otherwise it would be hard to explain the Tibetan family's affairs."

The old man of the royal family glanced at Muwangcheng, and curiosity flashed across his mind. Then he lay down again and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan. It was still very rare to find a cultivator above the tenth level of Qi Refining in She Country. Normally, one might not be seen in one or two years. After sending Chen Luo away, he could sleep peacefully again.

Half a day later.

After buying some spiritual materials, Chen Luo returned to the residence arranged for him by the royal family of She State.

As immortal cultivators, it was naturally impossible for them to be arranged to stay in an inn, and the royal family of She Kingdom was not that poor.

Chen Luo's assigned residence was just above the trading hall. Above this circular hall were all guest rooms. The higher up you went, the higher the cultivation level of the guests living there was. As a strong man at the perfect state of the eleventh level of Qi Refining, Chen Luo naturally lived in the topmost area. There were only two rooms on the entire floor, which was completely different from the lower floor where Hu Qiudao lived.

The layout of the room was also very luxurious. In addition to the common luxury goods, there was actually a small spirit gathering array inside. Although the effect was weak, it was already very difficult to do in a place like the mortal world. This also made Chen Luo more interested in the ancestor of the royal family's array master.

'I wonder how old this formation master of the royal family is. There must be a royal mausoleum for the royal family of Sheguo, right?'

His mind became active.

As long as you are willing to open your mind, there are always more solutions than problems. He has decided to go to the imperial mausoleum after the exchange meeting. He can't let the ancestors of the She Kingdom's royal family continue to lie in the ground and be lazy!

"You look unfamiliar, is this your first time at the exchange meeting?"

A voice suddenly came, interrupting Chen Luo's thoughts.

Following the sound, Chen Luo found that someone had walked out of the opposite room at some point. He was a fat man with the cultivation level of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, with a round and smooth face, wearing a nouveau riche silk short coat, with a large golden ingot embroidered on his chest.

"My name is Wang Tianji, from Zangzhou." The fat man introduced himself very talkatively.

Wang Tianji? Zangzhou?

Chen Luo recalled that he had seen this name on the map when the Hu family occupied Mushan City. Among the nine major regions of Sheguo, the piece of land closest to Yangshizong was occupied by this name.

"Chen Luo."

Chen Luo also responded simply.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you here also for that secret book?" After a few words of casual chat, Wang Tianji began to test him.

"What secret book?"

Before Chen Luo came here, he had not paid attention to the exchange meeting held by the She Kingdom's royal family. His purpose of coming here was also very clear, just two things. One was to help Mr. Hu occupy Mushan City for five years, and the second was to buy foundation-building materials. If the original products could not be purchased, substitute herbs with similar medicinal properties would also be fine.

"A secret book on sword cultivation. I heard it was dug out from the ancestral tomb of the Situ family by a casual cultivator named Si Yu. It involves the inheritance of foundation building." Wang Tianji did not hide it.

This kind of thing has been widely circulated for a long time, and Chen Luo only needs to go out and ask around to find out.

"Foundation building inheritance?"

Chen Luo didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.

"Whether it is true or not is still uncertain, but the vast majority of fellow Taoists come here with the mentality of 'it is better to believe it than not to believe it.'"

"The Situ family didn't care?"

"This news was released by the Situ family. I suspect they may have other purposes." Wang Tianji couldn't help but sigh.

"If the upper sect is unstable, our lives down there won't be easy either."

After chatting for a while, Wang Tianji went downstairs on his own. He saw Chen Luo when he was leaving, so he chatted with him for a while.

Everyone who comes to the exchange meeting has his or her own things to do.

night.

Chen Luo had just finished his practice when he heard a commotion downstairs. He opened the door and walked out, and saw a group of people gathered in front of a booth in the hall below.

The stall owner was a pale-faced scholar with a thin build, wearing a light blue gown. At the moment, he was holding a white jade tablet in his hand and shouting non-stop.

"Sword Cultivation Magical Power - Demon Subduing Sword Technique! Three hundred spirit stones, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

Sword cultivation supernatural power?

Chen Luo stood at the edge of the corridor, looking down at the noisy scene below.

This scholar is quite powerful, having already entered the seventh level of Qi Refining. A cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining can already establish a family in the She Country area. But the person selling the sword formula below is very strange, with such strength, he actually shows a fake face.

Although he had hidden it, in Chen Luo's mind, the brain of the casual cultivator Wan Ming was constantly giving feedback.

"Skin-changing technique, a minor evil technique, this person has not yet mastered it."
