Shen Mengying was interrupted by them for a moment, then continued her introduction.
"Having mentioned one sword and one blade, there are a few other forces to watch out for. I wonder if they have any King-level experts, who are also top-tier."
Medicine King Valley, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Huanhua Sect, and there is another rather special sect called the Joyful Union Sect.
"You can probably tell what they do just by their names. Medicine King Valley mainly provides pills, Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has demonic beasts to help them, Huanhua Sect is all women, and as for Hehuan Sect..."
At this point, Shen Mengying couldn't continue.
Seeing this, Elder Lin added, "The Hehuan Sect mainly focuses on dual cultivation, but opinions on the Hehuan Sect are mixed."
"Oh, why is that?"
“Normal dual cultivation methods benefit both parties, which is fine. However, some unorthodox methods involve the extraction of stamina, which only takes without giving back. This is a completely selfish act that harms others. Many people cannot stand the practice of using a furnace for cultivation.”
Qin Feng roughly understood.
"The Hehuan Sect is truly interesting."
"So these forces just let them do this?" Yin Tiantian asked, puzzled.
"There's nothing we can do about it. People are selfish. The Hehuan Sect is a powerful force, and most people don't dare to provoke them. As long as these Hehuan Sect disciples don't target their clansmen, they generally ignore them."
"How hateful!" Yin Tiantian said through gritted teeth.
"These are nothing but crooked methods, they are unbalanced in terms of yin and yang, they may achieve results in a short time, but they are also prone to problems."
Leng Yuexi reminded.
"That's right, indeed. This method of replenishing energy is indeed like that. Rapid improvement can easily cause one's mental state to fall behind, which can easily lead to problems. There are many such examples."
Shen Mengying continued her introduction.
"Besides the first-class forces I mentioned, there are many others, such as our Lingyan Pavilion, Miaoyin Pavilion, Tiansha Palace, Biyun Pavilion, Haotian Mansion, and so on."
The division of power isn't very strict. No one knows if the other side is hiding something, so it's best not to provoke them unnecessarily, lest you offend someone you shouldn't.
Qin Feng nodded, "Don't worry, we are all honest and kind people, and we won't go out of our way to provoke others."
Yin Tiantian nodded quickly, "That's right, we are all kind people, hehe."
Shen Mengying understood the implication in Qin Feng's words: We won't provoke others, but if others provoke him, then we can't blame him.
Come to think of it, he does have that ability.
Shen Mengying continued, "The most bustling place in Yizhou is Tianjiao City, which is also in the very center. All these forces are surrounding Tianjiao City."
"Oh, Tianjiao City, Tianjiao? Only Tianjiao can enter? How is Tianjiao defined?" Yin Tiantian became interested and kept asking questions.
"Stop, wait a minute. You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to ask your questions one at a time. Otherwise, I'll forget what you asked."
Shen Mengying couldn't take it anymore and quickly interrupted the spellcasting.
Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi exchanged a smile.
Yin Tiantian stuck out her tongue.
"Tianjiao City is a city that allows everyone to enter, but there are conditions."
"Oh, what are the conditions?"
"There is a testing stone tablet outside the city gate of Tianjiao City. If you pass the test, you will be preliminarily determined to be a prodigy and can enter the city for free."
"Those who didn't pass the test can still go in, but they have to pay spirit stones, and a considerable amount, depending on their cultivation level. By the way, I've never been before."
"Oh, you've never been there but know so much about it? Are you just making this up?"
"No doubt about it. I've heard this so many times I'm sick of it. My grandpa said I'm too young to go, otherwise I would have gone long ago. But it should be okay now, right?"
"Please continue."
"Don't rush, I'll tell you. Tianjiao City is different from other places. People who are recognized as geniuses can eat and stay for free. If you pay spirit stones to get in, you'll have to pay for food and lodging."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded. "Tianjiao City, that's interesting."
"It's really strange, why would there be such a rule?"
Shen Mengying thought for a moment, "My grandfather told me that Tianjiao City originally only had one tower that could help everyone cultivate. Later, for some reason, a city was built around this tower. It's been too long, and we don't really know."
“Miss is right. There is a tower in this City of Prodigies named the Tower of Prodigies. Only those who pass the test of the Tower of Prodigies can be certified as true prodigies. Even an unknown rogue cultivator will be fought over by major forces and cultivated at great cost. This may be one of the reasons why major forces surround City of Prodigies.”
Qin Feng became interested in what they were saying and wanted to go and see the City of Pride and climb the Tower of Pride.
"By the way, there is also a Treasure Pavilion here, which is much larger than the one in Yunxi City and has more things."
Then she whispered, "There are places like Wan Hua Lou here too. Let's go and experience it properly this time. Last time, that bastard messed things up, and it wasn't fun."
"Cough cough."
"Cough cough."
Old Lin and Old Wu couldn't help but pretend to cough, just to remind Shen Mengying.
Qin Feng was speechless. Why is a girl like you always thinking about this?
Shen Mengying suddenly remembered something.
"I know why I felt a sense of familiarity at the Wan Hua Lou last time. The way that woman named Meng Ying played her instrument was very similar to that of Miao Yin Fang. I'm afraid there's some connection."
Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu also slowly recalled the events.
"You know what, it really does look a bit like it. How come we didn't notice it back then? Could it be that the Miaoyin Pavilion has even extended its reach to Yunxi City in Yunzhou?"
Yin Tiantian said dismissively, "What's so strange about that? Other businesses open branches, and you guys are always running around."
They thought about it and realized it wasn't anything to be surprised about.
"Old Lin, Old Wu, do you think our Miaoyinfang should acquire some assets in other places and expand in various locations?"
"It's possible, but you'll have to discuss it with your grandfather. Our opinion doesn't count."
"Mengying, what exactly is your identity? And who is your grandfather? He seems very powerful."
"Sweetie, don't be so talkative."
Shen Mengying waved her hand, "It's alright, there's nothing I can't say. My grandfather is the second master of Lingyan Pavilion, and he still has a certain amount of power in Lingyan Pavilion."
"Wow, he's a second-generation Xiu, someone with a powerful background. We never would have guessed it when you were in such a sorry state."
"Hehe, let's not talk about the past." Shen Mengying felt a little embarrassed when she recalled how she looked back then.
As they were playfully bickering, Leng Yuexi suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think the City Lord of Yunxi City might have some powerful backing? Has he told them about the token?"
The room fell silent after Leng Yuexi said this; this was a huge problem.
Shen Mengying guessed:
"Logically speaking, Ren Tianya wouldn't tell anyone. He would definitely keep this to himself. They were all very well disguised when they came, afraid of revealing their identities."
"Worrying is useless. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
