Three more days passed, and Hua Shi and Zhou Li finally arrived at Tianqing City.
Tianqing City has been the venue for the Xuanqing Continent's Spiritual Transformation Conference for thousands of years and has always been one of the most prosperous places in the entire Xuanqing Continent. After Hua Shi came to this world, he always stayed in the Hua family. The Hua family occupied a piece of land exclusively and there were no towns around it. The only time he left the Hua family before was to go to the Ningshan site that had been abandoned for many years. So to be honest, although Hua Shi had a noble status as a disciple of a noble family, he had never seen such a world.
There were many convoys entering Tianqing City at the same time as Hua Shi and his team, most of which were convoys from various sects and families, picking up this generation of young disciples to participate in the Spiritual Transformation Conference. Hua Shi was not familiar with these forces, and it was only after Zhou Li explained to him that he was able to roughly understand the origins of those people.
However, Hua Shi did not try hard to remember it. Firstly, he could not remember it, and secondly, it had nothing to do with him. Hua Shi just wanted to attend the conference as soon as possible and leave. It would be best not to attract anyone's attention or join any sect. Therefore, Hua Shi did not want to deal with these sects at all.
Zhou Li was obviously different from Hua Shi. He was fully focused on the upcoming Spirit Transformation Conference, hoping to find a good spirit beast to form a bond with. He also paid a lot of attention to the major sects.
"The people who just passed by are from the Hanxi Sect. The Hanxi Sect is famous for its swordsmanship. It is said that even the Sword Saint has come to Tianqing City specially to participate in the Spiritual Transformation Conference this time." Zhou Li lowered the curtain of the car window, retracted his gaze and said to Hua Shi who was still eating melon seeds in the car, "I heard that the Sword Saint has been looking for young people with good talents in recent years. He wants to accept a disciple to inherit his mantle. He should have come to Tianqing City this time for this matter. I just don't know who will be lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by the Sword Saint."
Hua Shi listened all the way. Although he didn't see the convoy that just passed by, he became interested in this sword master: "Is he very powerful?"
Zhou Li felt that Hua Shi's question was really unbelievable: "You actually asked about the Sword Saint's strength in such a tone?"
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, then quickly straightened his body and looked more serious: "What's wrong?"
He only had a vague understanding of the martial arts world, so naturally he had no idea of the position of the Sword Saint. Of course, he did not have the awe that most of the younger generation in the martial arts world had for the strong.
Zhou Li was rarely angry: "Senior Sword Saint is one of the top five masters in the spiritual path. What do you think of his strength?"
With such a ranking, he must be very powerful. However, Hua Shi still had no idea of how powerful he was. He thought for a moment and said, "How does he compare to Fang Wei, the evil master from a thousand years ago?"
This was the only strong man he truly knew in this world. He had listened to his servants telling his story for three whole days and had a rough idea of how strong this man was. So if he wanted to understand the strength of others, he could make a clear judgment by using Fang Wei as a comparison.
But when Zhou Li heard Hua Shi mention Fang Wei, he was stunned for a while, then frowned and said: "This devil has been dead for a thousand years, why drag him out to make trouble?"
Hua Shi curiously asked, "So who is better among them?"
Zhou Li was silent for a while before he reluctantly said, "Back then, it took all the strength of the Spirit Dao to finally subdue this demon and make him fall into the abyss of disaster. If it were a one-on-one fight, no one would be able to defeat this demon. But the demon has been dead for many years. How can he be compared with Senior Sword Saint and others with his bloody hands?"
"Oh." Hua Shi nodded without saying much, but he had fully understood what Zhou Li meant.
In other words, the devil Fang Wei is so powerful that no one can defeat him, but because this guy is too strong, everyone has automatically filtered him out of the ranking.
Hua Shi showed no expression after he figured it out. But when he thought that Liu Qishuang was killed by Fang Wei, he felt even more complicated.
Zhou Li stared at Hua Shi for a moment, and then quickly said, "Why did you mention this demon? Brother Hua Shi, you should know that this demon is a taboo name in the spiritual world. It is better not to mention it outside."
Hua Shi did not comment. He mentioned this man only because he suddenly felt like it. Since he was not allowed to mention him, then he just didn't mention him. The carriage continued to move forward swaying. At this time, another passing convoy greeted their convoy. Zhou Li greeted them one by one, as if he was familiar with these sects and families and could talk to everyone about their relationship.
Only Hua Shi was planning to go home and stay at home after attending the conference. He then stayed in the carriage and ignored everyone, just waiting for the conference to start and end as soon as possible.
The carriage entered the prosperous Tianqing City. When the curtains were lifted and looking out, the streets were bustling with people and the vendors' cries were endless. Hua Shi, who had been lying in the carriage with a blanket all the way, finally regained his spirits at this time. He stared at the vendors on the street and smelled the aroma of delicious food. He looked a bit like a greedy and playful child.
After this journey, Zhou Li had a general understanding of the temperament of the young master Hua Shi. The Zhou family and the Hua family were old friends. Zhou Li went to the Hua family before the Spiritual Transformation Conference. Firstly, he was ordered by the master of the Zhou family to take good care of the young master of the Hua family at the conference. Secondly, he hoped to find allies. After all, participating in the Spiritual Transformation Conference means that everyone enters the Spirit Realm together. Although there is competition among everyone, cooperation is also indispensable. If he can find a suitable ally, it will be much easier to act in the Spirit Realm at that time.
Zhou Li originally thought that although Hua Shi, as a descendant of an aristocratic family, might not be as powerful as the key disciples of the major sects, he should at least be a good ally. However, after getting to know him, he realized that this guy had no other talents except eating, drinking and having fun. If he were to go with Hua Shi in the Spirit Transformation Conference, it would not only be of no help to him, but would instead hinder his progress.
Now when Zhou Li thought of these things, his brows were tightly furrowed, but he had already promised to take care of Hua Shi, and now he couldn't just give up. He could only take one step at a time and hope that this young master would not hold him back too much.
Just as Zhou Li was thinking about these things, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a restaurant. They arrived at the accommodation that the master of the Hua family had arranged for them in advance.
As one of the most established families in Xuanqing Continent, the Hua family is naturally well-known. The restaurant where Hua Shi lives is of course the best restaurant in the entire Tianqing City. Due to the special time, most of the people staying in the restaurant at this time are disciples who came to participate in the Spirit Transformation Conference. Some were brought here by their masters, and some were sent by their own families. No matter how strong or weak those who can live here are of good status.
The Hua family was not aware of these things. All the information he knew came from Zhou Li. After arranging the room and putting the luggage away, Hua Shi and Zhou Li went downstairs to the lobby and finally had a good meal.
Zhou Li was somewhat confused about Hua Shi's enthusiasm for food: "Haven't you eaten enough in the carriage?"
Hua Shi looked at the direction of the dishes with expectation: "Of course it's different. The food in each place is different. Eating in a carriage is different from eating here. Even the utensils used to eat are different."
Zhou Li shook his head helplessly. He was not as particular as Hua Shi. He simply filled his stomach and sat next to him watching Hua Shi eat.
The two people were not too familiar with each other, and they had different hobbies and not many common topics. They chatted casually, and before they had talked for long, the lobby suddenly became quiet. Hua Shi pulled himself out of the state of eating, looked up at the corridor, and saw the source of the silence around him.
A few young men in yellow shirts just came up from the corridor. Unlike other sects who all carried swords as weapons, this group of people did not have anything that looked like a weapon. Hua Shi stared at them for a long time and finally confirmed that each of them was either holding or hanging a folding fan.
"A fan as a weapon?" Hua Shi stared at it. It was the first time he had seen such a setting since coming to this world. He couldn't help but feel fresh, "So unique..."
Before he could finish his words, the yellow-shirted young men on the other end seemed to have heard his voice and immediately glared at him.
Hua Shi was very tactful and didn't say anything more. Zhou Li frowned slightly and blocked the sight of those people looking at Hua Shi. Seeing that they didn't make any more trouble but found a place to sit down, he turned around and lowered his voice to Hua Shi: "Brother Hua Shi, be careful not to provoke those guys, they are from the Evil Wind and Rain Palace."
Hua Shi was really surprised this time: "Fengyu Palace?"
He couldn't help but look at the group of young men in strange attire again. Fortunately, they were sitting around talking in low voices and didn't notice Hua Shi's gaze.
Zhou Li was afraid that his gaze would cause dissatisfaction on the other side, so he quickly pulled his sleeve to make him look away, and then explained in a low voice: "The Spiritual Transformation Conference is attended by both the Spiritual Path and the Evil Path, so we will go to the Spirit Realm with them at that time. There is a ban in Tianqing City that the Spiritual Path and the Evil Path are not allowed to fight here, so you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't conflict with them, they won't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble."
Hua Shi nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he secretly shouted to Fang Wei in his heart: "System, system! Is this really the Fengyu Palace? The Fengyu Palace led by Fang Wei, the Lord of the Evil Way?"
Fang Wei hadn't made a sound since arriving in Tianqing City. Hua Shi usually communicated with Fang Wei, and although Fang Wei didn't say much, she would still respond to Hua Shi occasionally. But this time, for some reason, she didn't say a word for such a long time, so Hua Shi couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Still not hearing Fang Wei's response, Hua Shi couldn't help but shouted twice again.
Fang Wei was thinking about many things. Not only that, he also used part of his spiritual power to explore the surroundings of the inn, so he had no time to answer Hua Shi's words.
Now after hearing what Hua Shi said, he was silent for a moment before finally answering, "Yes."
Although Fang Wei has been to many places and had many identities over the years, Fengyu Palace is still the most special to him. He did not expect that when he came to Tianqing City with Hua Shi this time, he would run into people from Fengyu Palace so soon.
But the current Fengyu Palace is no longer the same as it was in the past.
Fang Wei looked at the young men from Fengyu Palace in silence. At this time, it seemed that several young men from other spiritual sects were dissatisfied with the stalemate caused by the arrival of the people from Fengyu Palace, and they couldn't help but walk over to cause trouble.
Hua Shi was watching from the side. Although he couldn't hear clearly what was being said over there, he could tell that the atmosphere over there seemed to be something wrong. The young men from Fengyu Palace seemed to have heard something that they couldn't bear. They all stood up with red faces and clenched fists.
However, several other young spiritualists could not help but laugh out loud.
Hua Shi looked at the scene with a little surprise, feeling that it seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
In the story, it's always the bad guys who pick on the good guys, but here it seems like these evil guys are being bullied by the spiritual guys instead?
Seeing that the conflict over there was getting more and more intense, several disciples of Fengyu Palace seemed unable to bear it and were ready to fight back with red faces. Hua Shi finally stood up hesitantly.
Zhou Li was slightly startled when he saw his movements, and quickly pulled him back and said, "What are you doing? Even if you don't like those guys in Fengyu Palace, as the young master of the Hua family, it's not appropriate for you to show up at this time. Don't go over there!"
"Ah?" Hua Shi turned around and glanced at him. He understood what he meant and couldn't help but laugh. "I have no grudge against Fengyu Palace."
Zhou Li looked at him suspiciously: "Do you want to help them?"
Hua Shi shook his head and pointed upstairs with an innocent look on his face, saying, "I just want to go back to my room. If they start fighting, it would be bad if innocent people get hurt."
