At the dock, Shen Yuan glanced at Xuan Le who was leaving with the members of the Imperial Observatory, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He was somewhat surprised that he could actually meet He Yao, with whom he had attended the Dragon King Banquet at Fubo Lake, in Qingping County. The other party's cultivation had even reached the middle stage of Qi Transformation Realm, and he had become a deputy commander in charge of a region.
Shen Yuan knew very well that there must be a factor of the government trying to win over people who were close to him, but he could not deny He Yao's own talent and hard work.
Sending a message to He Yao to help was just a matter of convenience.
Xue Mingzhi saw everything and said in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face:
"Since you want to help them, sir, why don't you do it on the boat?"
Shen Yuan's expression froze slightly when he heard this.
The fundamental reason why Shen Yuan did not take action on the boat was that he did not have any healing spells or magical powers, nor did he have a panacea that could cure Xuan Kong.
Although there is a natural spiritual pool and spiritual fluid, that thing is not omnipotent and is completely useless for physical injuries like Xuankong's.
Because of this, Shen Yuan planned to wait for the cruise ship to dock before thinking of a way to take action. As a result, he happened to meet He Yao, and it was just right for him to help.
Of course, this truth cannot be told directly to Xue Mingzhi.
Shen Yuan could only sigh and shake his head, with an unfathomable expression on his face:
"Not every effort will be rewarded. I was able to save them this time, but what about next time?"
Shen Yuan left a few words and walked away from the dock. Gong Buyu followed closely behind him, holding Bai Xue.
Xue Mingzhi tried hard to understand Shen Yuan's words, and finally realized: "So that's how it is, you are worthy of being called a gentleman."
Then he quickly followed Shen Yuan's departing footsteps.
Qingping County is located in Cangzhou, where the Ji River and the Yellow River meet. At the same time, the county seat of Qingping County is also one of the few cities in the entire Daxia that has not been urbanized.
In the county town, Shen Yuan could see antique pavilions and towers everywhere, and only at the other end of the city could he see tall buildings.
In the city with its ancient charm, there is a sense of elegance that returns to ancient times.
Walking on the road, Shen Yuan could see some signboards painted with talismans on the roadside, guiding visitors to the correct address of the Dao Conference.
Only practitioners who have concentrated their magical powers can see this kind of signboard. At this stage, it is difficult for most folk practitioners to advance to the Qi Transformation Realm. These signboards can prevent sect members and ordinary people from sneaking in.
As for those sect members who haven't even reached the Qi Transformation Realm, they are not qualified to participate in this conference.
Following the guidance of the signboards, Shen Yuan and others gradually approached the urban area next to the river. Walking on the road, they could even see the rushing Yellow River and the Jishui River converging in the distance, and the turbid water and clear river water blending here.
As they moved forward, there were fewer and fewer ordinary pedestrians around, and the magical fluctuations emitted by the talismans on the signboards were intentionally driving away these ordinary people.
Finally, at the end of the long street, Shen Yuan saw a huge wooden building rising from the river, with as many as seventeen floors.
The entire high-rise building glowed with precious light, and there were faint inscriptions hidden between the carved dragons and painted buildings on the exterior. At the very top, a huge purple gem refracted the sunlight, as if a layer of light shield covered the entire building.
No matter how turbulent the river water outside is, this tall building rising from the river remains as stable as Mount Tai.
On the front of the high-rise building, there is a huge plaque with two big characters clearly written on it.
Xuanhuang!
"Xuanhuang Linglong Tower?" A surprised voice came from Gong Buyu's mouth. His eyes slightly opened and a moved expression appeared on his delicate face for the first time.
But then his expression returned to normal, Gong Buyu shook his head lightly and said:
"No, it's not the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. It's only a mid-grade spiritual treasure. It should be just a replica."
Gong Buyu's words made Xue Mingzhi curious, and he quickly asked:
"Senior Sister Gong, what is the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower?"
"The Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is an immortal weapon born in the Xuanhuang Realm, and it has left a great reputation in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda in front of us should be a spiritual treasure imitated by later generations."
At this point, Gong Buyu couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuan, who looked calm, and said:
"Or maybe I was too rash. Master had personally stepped into the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda ten thousand years ago and climbed to the highest floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda alone.
In the end, Master refused to become the master of Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, and left behind a legend. Master must have known whether it was true or not. "
"Rejected a magic weapon?" Xue Mingzhi widened his eyes, his expression full of disbelief.
Gong Buyu had a hint of disdain in his eyes:
“The so-called immortal weapons are nothing more than the true meaning of the immortal way. Those low-grade immortal weapons may not be much stronger than the Taoist weapons.
Moreover, people with insufficient realms will only be controlled by immortal artifacts. Such artifacts are just stained with the word "immortal" and countless people flock to them, voluntarily becoming puppet hosts of immortal artifacts."
"Master has already reached the Great Way to Heaven, so how could he be deceived by external things?
What's more, Master's sword is not inferior to the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. The so-called immortal weapon is just an insignificant vulgar thing to Master. "
If someone else said this, Xue Mingzhi would never believe it.
But when it comes from Gong Buyu's mouth, it is a completely different concept.
Gong Buyu is not only Shen Yuan's registered disciple and a top Qi training expert in the world, but more importantly, Gong Buyu's father can be called an old friend by Shen Yuan, which means that Gong Buyu's father is also a big man who does not belong to this era of spiritual energy tide.
There are only two possibilities for Gong Buyu to have such a father.
The first possibility is that Gong Buyu was born to his father in his old age. However, considering that the spiritual energy tide has only returned for more than half a year, this possibility is not great.
The second possibility is that Gong Buyu is not a figure from this era of spiritual energy tide.
With a noble status and a vision that is not limited to this spiritual age, Xue Mingzhi naturally believed in Gong Buyu's words.
When Shen Yuan heard Gong Buyu's words, his face remained calm, as if Gong Buyu was not talking about him.
Seeing this, Xue Mingzhi naturally admired Shen Yuan's demeanor even more.
But Xue Mingzhi didn't know that Shen Yuan was already sweating profusely under his calm appearance.
Although he was recognized as the Supreme Taoist by Yunmeng Dragon King, Kuang Lao Mo, and Gong Buhuo before, at least his identities matched, and Shen Yuan could still fool them.
But as soon as he arrived at Gong Buyu, he started bragging about Shen Yuan's deeds.
What is the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, the immortal puppet host? Shen Yuan was full of questions after hearing it. However, the protagonist of Gong Buyu's topic was Shen Yuan himself. Shen Yuan, who didn't know the details, couldn't ask in detail, let alone refute.
"How many legends did the previous Luoyun Sect leader make up for me?"
