A few days later, Lu Fuyue's condition had improved significantly. She got out of bed, tidied herself up, and planned to go out for a walk. During her time here, she had heard some things about Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun is the leader of the five Ghost Kings of the Underworld, but he rarely appears in public. Even so, no one dares to cause trouble in Zhongdu City, which he governs, and the other four Ghost Kings never dare to provoke him.
Because when Jiang Xun first appeared in the Underworld, he single-handedly defeated four other Ghost Kings in succession, and from then on, no one dared to offend him.
For ghost cultivators, Zhongdu City is the best cultivation ground in the underworld, because when Jiang Xun became the Ghost King again, he used his own destiny as a medium to make the entire Zhongdu City his training ground.
This city is closely related to his destiny. As long as Jiang Xun is alive and well, this place will not disappear. The stronger Jiang Xun is, the heavier the yin and cold energy here will be, and the faster the ghost cultivators will cultivate.
However, not just anyone can enter Zhongdu City. Anyone who wants to enter from the outside must be a ghost cultivator with pure blood. The purer the blood of a ghost cultivator, the higher their status in this place, and the faster their cultivation speed.

Just as Lu Fuyue opened the door, she unexpectedly saw a woman with a gentle and elegant appearance at the door. Behind the woman were more than a dozen maids, who all stood respectfully on her left and right sides with their heads bowed.
The woman smiled gently, "You must be the girl that A-Xun brought back. My name is Si-You, and I grew up with A-Xun."
At this moment, the maid standing next to Siyou, whose clothes were slightly different, looked displeased, glared at Lu Fuyue, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you are the King's fiancée. Why are you being so friendly to a human cultivator on our territory?"
Siyou turned to look at her maid, her voice deepening, "Dongyue, you shouldn't say such things carelessly in the future. After all, this young lady was brought back by Axun himself."
Dongyue hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, this servant knows her mistake." But there was no remorse in her eyes.
Lu Fuyue watched this scene quietly without saying a word.
She roughly knew the purpose of the person in front of her, but although she didn't want to cause trouble, it didn't mean she would swallow her anger and let others manipulate her.
Thinking of this, she touched the token hanging at her waist, then ripped it off and held it in her hand, casually fiddling with it as if it were a stone picked up from the roadside.
Soon everyone present saw the token in Lu Fuyue's hand, and their expressions changed drastically. This was... this was the Zhongdu Token, which was conceived when the King first established his Daoist temple.
Seeing this token is like seeing the king!
But this female cultivator is treating it like this; it seems the king is truly...
The next second, everyone present except Si You knelt down, heads bowed, not daring to look at Lu Fuyue.
Si You was only slightly taken aback when he saw the token, but then he came to his senses. He had actually given this thing to a cultivator.
but……
She smiled calmly and bowed slightly to Lu Fuyue. "This time, it was Siyou who offended me. If you need anything in the future, Fairy Lu, please feel free to come to me."
The Zhongdu Token is unique in the world. Whoever possesses the Zhongdu Token is equivalent to possessing the entire Zhongdu City, and his status is second only to the Ghost King Jiang Xun.
Si You was just one of the people who helped Jiang Xun establish Zhongdu City. Even though she was named a princess, she still had to avoid the sharp edge of this token.
Lu Fuyue hadn't expected the token to be so powerful. What did Jiang Xun mean by giving her this token? Could it be that he really had taken a liking to her?
Or does he have ulterior motives?
After a moment, she looked up at the woman in front of her, then put away the token and said calmly, "It's alright."
After saying that, Lu Fuyue turned around, closed the door, and left right in front of Siyou.
Si You stood up and stared at Lu Fuyue's departing figure for a long time.
The maid Dongyue also stood up, looked up at Lu Fuyue, and whispered, "Your Highness, should we call someone..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, Siyou naturally knew what she wanted to say. She glanced at Dongyue, her eyes full of warning, but she couldn't move this person yet, at least not now.
Dongyue nodded, then bowed her head respectfully.

Lu Fuyue walked through corridors of all sizes, as well as various palaces and passageways, and finally left the entire Ghost King Palace.
No sooner had she left than someone returned to report to Jiang Xun, who was currently in seclusion. He had just returned from reincarnation and his soul was not yet stable.
A knock sounded at the door of the main hall. "Your Majesty, Fairy Lu has just left the palace."
Jiang Xun slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again a moment later.
Knowing her as he did, he knew she wouldn't go back on her word once she had promised him.
Those outside, seeing no movement inside, knew they didn't need to intervene.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Fuyue appeared on the main street of Zhongdu City. The area was filled with all kinds of shops, and the people coming and going were all ghost cultivators. Most of these ghost cultivators were at the Golden Core stage, and there were quite a few at the Nascent Soul stage as well.
She looked up at the treasure pavilion in front of her, then went inside. Since she was already there, she decided to take a look around.
As soon as they entered, a steward came to greet them. In fact, this steward's cultivation level was slightly higher than Lu Fuyue's, but his attitude was still very respectful. "May I ask what this fellow Daoist would like to see?"
He realized that Lu Fuyue was a human cultivator, so he used the human race's name.
Lu Fuyue's heart stirred slightly. She then looked around and saw all sorts of underworld treasures exuding a chilling aura. Although these treasures were of high quality, they were nothing new to her.
So she asked, "Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing this, the steward knew that the person in front of him was a discerning person. He smiled, bent down, and led Lu Fuyue to the second floor. "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
A moment later, Lu Fuyue appeared on the second floor. As soon as she went up, she was attracted by the small black stone on the counter. She slowly walked over, picked up the stone, and looked down at it carefully.
It feels cool and smooth to the touch, like a fine ice silk fabric.
At the same time, the space seemed to resonate with the black stone, but only she could perceive it.
The steward following behind her walked up to her and said, "This thing is called Black Mystic Stone. We don't know its specific uses."
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly as she ran her fingers along the stone surface. "Wrap this up. I want it."
