Wuxiang City.
When talking about Wuxiang City, one cannot avoid mentioning Wuxiang Gate.
The Wuxiang Sect is not a very famous sect, but it is secluded in a corner of the world, and no one in the vicinity dares to provoke it.
The reason is simply that the lineage of the Formless Sect is quite unique.
The emphasis is on the word 'formless'.
Mysterious and elusive.
If one were to truly enumerate the lineage of the Wuxiang Sect, it would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.
But among them, there are always the most famous, such as the art of disguise.
This technique has many uses, and it's especially effective for murder and robbery. Moreover, the people of the Wuxiang Sect are actually capable of doing such things.
But they are not heretical practitioners.
If I had to say something, it would be that he was a bit too unrestrained in his nature, and the people he tormented were mostly the most wicked and evil.
..............
The gatekeepers of Wuxiang City are disciples of the Wuxiang Sect.
They wore black robes with red patterns, but each carried a different weapon.
Jiang Wuyuan even saw someone holding a fan and playing with it in their hand.
That was no ordinary fan; if classified according to the era in which it was made, it could be considered a fourth-tier weapon.
The four were stopped as soon as they reached the city gate.
"How many people are going into the city?" a disciple of the Wuxiang Sect asked.
Zhuang Yaoqing and Zhuge Wangran looked at each other, and finally their gazes fell on Jiang Wuyuan.
Jiang Wuyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Four people."
"Entry fee is twenty gold coins." The disciple picked up his pen and wrote it on the scroll.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this method of collecting city fees, nor did he have any intention of provoking anyone, so he simply paid the money.
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, the Wuxiang Sect disciple raised his head slightly and glanced at the man again, then a glint flashed in his eyes.
"You're here for a spot at Jue Tian Chi? Good luck." He waved to the group. "Go on, next! How many of you are going into the city?"
The four entered the city.
Zhuang Yaoqing twirled the spatial ring on his finger, a habitual gesture when he was thinking: "What did that person mean by what they just said?"
Zhuge Wangran smiled, not taking it too seriously: "The Absolute Heaven Pool is a treasure, and naturally, people will covet treasures."
"I guess some important people are coming."
With two more days to go, Jiang Wuyuan planned to find a place to stay.
In ancient times, inns were like modern hotels. Since the guests arrived at the right time, there were often empty rooms.
"Gentlemen, the remaining rooms are all the better ones, so the price will be a bit higher, fifty gold coins per room," the innkeeper said with a smile, rubbing his hands together.
The price wasn't expensive, and Jiang Wuyuan immediately took out two hundred gold coins and gave them to him: "Stay for two nights, two rooms."
Jiang Wuyuan glanced at Xun Wu, who was following behind them without saying a word or making any movement, and frowned inwardly.
I never expected that after helping to pay the city entrance fee, I would also have to pay for accommodation.
This person's aura had become increasingly profound without anyone noticing.
Is he still hiding something, or...?
Jiang Wuyuan suddenly met Xun Wu's gaze.
When they first met, Jiang Wuyuan remembered that the young man had a sincere expression and clear, unwavering eyes.
But now, it seems to be shrouded in a thin mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
The boy's expression behind the mask was unreadable. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze.
"Two rooms, how should we divide them?"
Jiang Wuyuan naturally wouldn't place Xun Wu, this ticking time bomb, next to Zhuge Wangran or Zhuang Yaoqing: "I'll stay with Young Master Xun."
Zhuge Wangran nodded: "Sure. By the way, have you been busy lately? How about we go for a stroll?"
For young people, the world is always full of new experiences.
Zhuang Yaoqing nodded without hesitation, and Jiang Wuyuan had no objection.
Needless to say, Xunwu always went wherever everyone else went.
So the four of them left the inn.
In just one day, Zhuang Yaoqing once again harvested a considerable number of medicinal herbs.
Zhuge Wangran also bought some odds and ends.
Jiang Wuyuan, on the other hand, spent the whole day shopping but only bought some food.
Zhuge Wangran was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Jiang Wuyuan, who seemed so aloof, actually had a considerable appetite.
Jiang Wuyuan didn't explain anything further.
Occasionally indulging in delicious food can relax him.
He hadn't trained for a long time since arriving in the secret realm.
Normally, the only time he feels truly at peace is when he is practicing swordsmanship.
In all spiritual practices, the most important thing is stillness.
When the mind is calm, thoughts become clear.
Lacking a place and time to practice swordsmanship, Jiang Wuyuan had to develop other activities.
——
Two days later.
The day of the competition for spots at Jue Tian Chi.
In the past two days, Jiang Wuyuan had also tried to find out some information about the quota of Jue Tian Chi, but every time he asked indirectly, others would first show a look of sudden realization, and then that realization would quickly turn into a look of watching a good show, leaving him with only three words in the end - I don't know.
He eventually found out the reason.
Because the way this spot is contested depends entirely on the will of the Wuxiang Sect.
For example, the last time the Heavenly Pool was opened, it used a very mysterious method: drawing lots.
All cultivators who wish to participate filled in their names, and then the disciples of the Wuxiang Sect could choose freely.
It can be said that it all depends on fate, and has absolutely nothing to do with talent or cultivation.
Moreover, the Wuxiang Sect explicitly forbids the act of killing after the fact to compete for a spot.
If we actually do that, we will be hunted down by them with all our might.
After listening, Zhuang Yaoqing couldn't help but sigh—
