With Li Changting's escort, the journey was naturally very smooth.
Half a month later, the caravan arrived at a satellite city near Shengcheng for inspection.
Seeing that they would be delayed for quite some time, Li Changting parted ways with the caravan and headed straight for Shengcheng.
Two years after the mortal migration plan was implemented, there were already nine satellite cities near the city of Sheng, which could be described as a moon surrounded by stars.
Shengcheng, the center, is several times more prosperous than before. Pilgrims who come here to visit can be seen everywhere on the streets. Pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder and the smell of incense is so strong that it cannot be dispelled.
Li Changting entered the city gate and glanced at the passers-by. He saw many monks mixed in the crowd. Although their faces were not as pious as those of ordinary people, they all had expressions of respect and worship.
Li Changting was not surprised to see this. He had also heard a little about Sheng Ji's origins. She sacrificed her life to establish the Yinjie Sect and had done a great favor to the Dongzhou cultivation world. It was right for the cultivators to respect her.
Flying is prohibited over Shengcheng. Li Changting saw the tall temple at the end of the main road from afar. He was not in a hurry and moved forward leisurely with the crowd, looking left and right from time to time, with great interest.
Such a magnificent Shinto scene is absolutely impossible to find in Xizhou.
Half a day later, Li Changting walked to the steps of the temple, holding a handful of incense sticks stuffed by enthusiastic pilgrims in his hand, his face a little confused.
He was just strolling along with the crowd, so how could he be inexplicably pulled here to worship?
Not to mention that when Sheng Ji died, he was just a small foundation-building cultivator. Even if he was really a senior with unfathomable cultivation, what did he have to do with him, a cultivator from Xizhou?
"Why don't you leave?"
"Hurry up, why don't you go in with the incense?"
"If you don't want to go in, get out of the way and don't block the road!"
“…”
Hearing the urging of a group of people behind him, Li Changting looked helpless.
Never mind, just do as the Romans do.
He lit the incense stick and stepped over the threshold.
As soon as he stepped into the temple, Li Changting's ears suddenly became much quieter.
He looked up and saw only two or three people in the hall, worshipping before the statue of Ji Sheng, which was completely different from the crowd outside the door.
"What a rich incense power!"
Li Changting marveled inwardly, went over to insert the incense stick into the incense burner, and was about to turn around and leave when his eyes suddenly focused and he noticed a very young man in black kneeling on the cushion.
Li Changting had a sharp gaze and could tell at a glance that this person did not have any secret to maintain his youthful appearance. His bone age matched his appearance, so he was at most in his early twenties.
Although he is so young, his cultivation is at the late stage of foundation building, and there is a sharp sword energy surrounding him.
genius!
He is also an extremely rare sword genius, and it is very likely that he has even comprehended the sword intent!
If such a genius were to undergo the baptism of Xizhou again, he would definitely become a monster!
Li Changting was delighted to see the prey. If he could take him in as his disciple, why would he worry about the prosperity of his sect?
He thought so, but did not rush over to disturb them. Instead, he put his hands together and pretended to listen.
As expected, the young man in black bowed three times and then spoke softly, "Master, I have lived up to your expectations and finally comprehended the sword intent a year ago. Even my senior brother and the sect leader are no match for me."
Li Changting overheard this and felt a little happy. He is Sheng Ji's apprentice?
Just as this thought came to his mind, he heard the young man in black speak again, his tone somewhat complaining: "Master, it's fine if you live in seclusion, but why didn't you even tell me where you are?
For the past three years, I have searched the entire cultivation world but have not found any trace of you. Where should I go to see you again?"
Li Changting twitched the corner of his mouth.
Oh no, this kid's master is not dead. And from the looks of it, they have a very deep relationship, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to dig him out.
He couldn't help but feel pity.
What a waste.
If such a genius in swordsmanship were to join his sect, he would surely receive the best training.
This master is so good. He accepted the uncut jade but did not carve it. He ignored it for three years and the apprentice didn't even see him. Fortunately, this kid worked hard and comprehended the sword intent by himself, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste?
Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well give him some advice.
Thinking so, he waited patiently for the young man in black to finish his greeting. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the young man in black stand up. The admiration on his face immediately disappeared, and he spoke coldly.
"Your Excellency, you came into the temple not to worship, but only to eavesdrop?"
Li Changting was exposed on the spot, but he didn't feel ashamed at all. After traveling in Dongzhou for a year, he suffered all kinds of losses and was not welcomed. His face had grown much thicker.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's solemn here, why don't we talk somewhere else?"
The young man in black snorted coldly, "That's exactly what I meant!"
After saying that, the young man in black turned around and left, and Li Changting immediately followed him.
The two of them walked directly out of Shengcheng and stopped in a sparsely populated central area.
As soon as the young man in black arrived here, he drew his sword without saying a word and wanted to teach Li Changting a lesson. He would not allow anyone to disrespect his master!
Li Changting laughed when he saw the sword flying towards him. Without making any movement, he flashed and grabbed the tip of the sword with two fingers.
The young man in black was shocked. This man looked unkempt and like a casual cultivator, but his cultivation level was actually higher than his?
His mind raced, the momentum of the sword in his hand changed instantly, and sword intent surged out.
However, at this moment, Li Changting loosened his fingertips and flicked the tip of the sword.
"when!!"
With a crisp sound, an incomprehensible force flowed along the sword, instantly dispersing the black-clothed young man's sword force. The remaining force hit his chest, causing him to retreat more than ten steps before he could barely stop.
The young man in black covered his chest, which felt a little stuffy, and looked up at Li Changting, who was still smiling not far away. His face darkened slightly, "Sword cultivator...are you Li Changting?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Changting's smile suddenly disappeared, and he showed a little surprise: "You know me?"
