Chapter 156 Conference Opening
Meng Youyou twisted her slender waist and walked slowly towards Jiang Li, exhaling: "Of course it's because I like you."
The Saint of Pure Heart widened her eyes and trembled inwardly. What, what, what, does this woman have no sense of shame? "Come, come, these are the melon seeds that are unique to my East China Sea. They leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. There are also big, round sea watermelons that are delicious and make your mouth water." The Dragon King of the East China Sea introduced the East China Sea specialties at an inopportune time and distributed them to everyone.
"Give me a bag of melon seeds." Ji Zhi didn't hesitate and started to crack them.
"Half a piece of watermelon."
"Eat watermelon, eat watermelon. Everyone has some." The Dragon King of the East Sea distributed watermelon seeds and everyone thanked him.
"Saint Maiden Jingxin, would you like to join us?" the Dragon King of the East China Sea asked enthusiastically. The other three Dragon Kings quickly dragged away the tactless eldest brother, saying, "Don't you see that people are staring at you?"
The Red Dust Pure Land has neither cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage nor sect-stabilizing magical artifacts, but it is still one of the six major sects that no one can shake, all because they have a fairy peach tree that can defend against enemies and has unparalleled combat power.
What if the Saint of Pure Heart is really pissed off and the Fairy Peach Tree smashes the Dragon Palace? The owner of Tianji Tower stared at Jiang Li intently, thinking about the content of the next edition of Tianji Newspaper's headline.
The master of Tianji Tower was Ji Zhi's specially invited monk, who was asked to give explanations and comments on the conference.
"Why do you like me?" Jiang Li was puzzled.
Meng Youyou's eyes were seductive: "Of course it's because you are so strong. You are the strongest person in Jiuzhou and the only one in the Mahayana stage. As a woman, is there anything wrong with longing for a peaceful harbor?"
"Of course there is a problem." Jiang Li analyzed, "If you like me because I am strong, then you don't like me, but the Mahayana period."
Meng Youyou was stunned: "But aren't you in the Mahayana stage?"
"I am in the Mahayana stage, but the Mahayana stage is not me. Do you understand this principle?"
Jiang Li said it as a matter of course, as if it was a very simple truth, and Meng Youyou nodded subconsciously.
"Then I like your determination. You are principled in doing things, and you remain steadfast and unwavering in your original intentions."
Jiang Li continued to analyze: "I don't like you now. If I like you, it means I will no longer be firm, and you will not like me who is not firm."
Meng Youyou thought for a while before saying, "You uphold justice and act fairly. Since you became the emperor, the atmosphere in Kyushu has become much more relaxed than before, with fewer intrigues."
"Then you should like Ji Zhi. Sometimes I do things for my own selfish reasons, which is not fair."
"You are knowledgeable and well-informed?" Meng Youyou lacked confidence.
Jiang Li still disagreed with Meng Youyou's reason: "In terms of knowledge, I am not as good as Changcun Xianweng, so you should like him instead of me."
"I'll ask you again, why do you like me?"
"Yeah, why do I like you?" Meng Youyou murmured to herself, her eyes confused. She stood there in a daze. She couldn't say a word when Jiang Li refuted her. Instead, she began to think about the reason why she liked him.
This seemed to be an extremely difficult question. Meng Youyou fell into deep thought, unable to figure it out.
Everyone turned to look at the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart. She didn't say a word from beginning to end, but she had a beautiful smile on her face with her chin slightly raised. She looked beautiful and charming, as if she was the winner.
The Holy Maiden of Pure Heart has chosen a path that is more difficult than becoming an immortal, and everyone admires her sincerely.
"Have you found the right candidate?" Ji Zhi walked forward and asked.
"Don't worry, they are all the best talents and will definitely broaden your horizons." Jiang Li patted his chest and assured.
"Then I feel relieved." Originally, Ji Zhi wanted to use his double pupils to watch the conference process in advance. Jiang Li's words gave him a sense of anticipation, and he wanted to wait for the conference with peace of mind.
"It's been many years since we last met, Emperor Jiang."
"The Emperor Jiang is still as elegant as ever."
After watching the excitement, everyone greeted Jiang Li.
"It's almost time, let's get started." Ji Zhi reminded everyone, and Jiang Li came almost on time.
The Great Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to this conference and spent a lot of material and financial resources to temporarily build a huge platform made of solid steel. Even a blow from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would have difficulty leaving a white mark on this kind of stone. If it were used to refine weapons, I wonder how many spiritual treasures could be refined.
Jiang Li and his team were located above the platform, so they could see the situation on the platform clearly, as well as the audience around the platform.
"The golden autumn brings cool breeze and a prosperous economy. In this golden season of hope and ideals, this conference is grandly opened. First of all, on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the guests and extend my cordial greetings to all the monks participating in the conference..."
"...Fellow cultivators, the importance of spiritual treasures to us is self-evident. After being enlightened by the Nine Provinces' most precious treasure, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal, our spiritual treasures have become more intelligent and convenient. Our goal is to allow cultivators and spiritual treasures to promote and develop together, and to achieve a good cooperative relationship of mutual benefit, symbiosis, and win-win results..."
Ji Zhi was speaking on the stage, and both Jiang Li, who was sitting next to him, and the audience below, all felt drowsy.

I felt sleepy while listening to the Buddhist teachings, but at least I gained something from it. Your long and lame speech was totally useless to me!
At this time, everyone envied the Bodhisattva Xiangxiang. He closed his eyes, and no one knew whether he was practicing the ability of clairvoyance or sleeping.
They were sitting on the stage, and all the monks below noticed them. It was not a good idea no matter how you thought about it to openly sleep while Ji Zhi was speaking.
“…Finally, I wish you all good results and a good performance!”
Ji Zhi finally finished speaking, and added: "Let us welcome the 72nd generation of the Human Emperor, Jiang Li, to speak."
There was sparse applause from the audience.
The sleepy Jiang Li stood up: "The game has begun, I'm done."
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
The owner of Tianji Tower, Tianming Taoist, is a great monk at the peak of the fusion stage. He likes spiritual stones and is good at getting along with everyone. No one can question his professional level. From the Qi training stage to the fusion stage, he knows the characteristics of each stage, various training methods, hundreds of ways to use spiritual treasures, and tens of thousands of fighting methods. He knows them all like the back of his hand and can use them at will.
Tianming Taoist is the most suitable commentator.
Ji Zhi did not use a lot of spirit stones to ask him for help, but said that after the conference, half of the taxes of Tianji Tower would be exempted.
Taoist Tianming naturally agreed to the deal. Tianji Tower was doing a booming business in the Great Zhou, but the high taxes were painful for him. If he could be exempted from half of the taxes, he would almost wake up laughing.
In fact, Bai Zehuang Bai Xueling is also a suitable candidate to be the commentator, but she is the king of a country and has the same status as Ji Zhi. It is inappropriate to let her be the commentator no matter how you think about it.
The conference is divided into foundation-building group, golden elixir group, and Nascent Soul group, and the competition is conducted in this order, with the foundation-building cultivators starting first.
"The first to go are Yun Fan from the Huayun Sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Hu Gu from the Bai Ze Dynasty."
Huayun Sect was the sect that Jiang Li first joined, and it was also the place where Jiang Li went in the second mission of the system, to let Jiang Li defeat Yun Bo of Huayun Sect.
"Since the surname is Yun, I guess you are the descendant of Yun Bo." After seeing the old friend, Jiang Li smiled.
