A palace-like building stands in the circular area outside the capital. A mahogany plaque hangs on the vermilion lacquered gate, with three large characters "Golden Phoenix Pavilion" inscribed on it in a dragon-like and phoenix-like style.
Looking inside the hall, one can see pearl curtains and warm jade glowing. People are sitting at the table, toasting each other, with singers singing and dancers performing in the audience, and a white jade arena on the stage.
Even at night, people were still coming and going at the door. A drunken man was carrying a beautiful girl away, and in the attic, a graceful woman waving a handkerchief could be seen. She was plump and slender, and her figure was hazy.
As soon as he got here, Su Mingan took a half step back. Why would Noel always go to places like this? It was the same with Praya that time. At that time, it was Lu Shu and Lin Yin who kept going to this kind of building.
"Let's go." Noel whispered, "This is a good place to explore information."
A middle-aged woman greeted them with a smile. She was holding a pipe and wearing a purple robe. She pulled the reluctant Su Mingan inside:
"Sir, you are a stranger. You must be one of the young men who came to participate in the Penglai Immortal Selection this year. Please come in. The arena is open. You can see the skills of the martial artists. Today is the competition between the third generation of the Fei Fu Sect and the Chi Jian Sect. It will be a great show."
Su Mingan had already put on "Wang Han's human skin mask" and the long white robe with black bamboo stripes that Noel had brought, so that no one would know that he was the eldest prince. To outsiders, he looked like a nobleman with extraordinary temperament.
A group of beautiful girls came to greet him with smiles, and moved their hands and feet in an unruly manner, reaching out to Su Mingan's arms and waist. Su Mingan was so scared that he grabbed Noel's sleeves and used Noel's long skirt to block.
"Why do you bring a girl with you to a place like this?" The woman looked at the beautiful blonde next to Su Ming'an with admiration in her eyes: "She is so beautiful that all the girls here pale in comparison."
"Uh...yeah." Su Mingan nodded.
Noel lowered her head and pretended to be just an ordinary maid.
The two were escorted inside. The hall was very large, with hundreds of people sitting around. This place was not just for prostitutes, but also for teahouse guests, gamblers, and bards. As soon as they entered, they felt the heat and noise. People were walking around with rosy faces, and it was very lively. Su Mingan's arrival was hidden in the crowd and did not attract anyone's attention.
The most eye-catching thing was a square white jade arena in the center. People were pointing and talking loudly at the two people fighting on the arena.
There were two people on the stage. One was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, holding a yellow paper talisman in his hand, with a piercing gaze and muttering something. The other had a thick beard and a short brown suit, holding a three-foot red sword. As he waved it, flames rose and hot winds blew on his face.
The people below were drinking tea and chatting animatedly.
“Master Zhuo is worthy of his origin from the Feifu School. His talisman technique is superb. There will definitely be a place for him in the Penglai Immortal Selection this time.” A young man looked at the middle-aged man in the black and white Taoist robe, clapped his hands and sighed.
"That's nothing. You haven't seen the witch Zou Yuqing of the Holy Church. Her unique command does not need to be condensed into cinnabar or yellow paper, and it can kill people without bloodshed. If immortals did not distinguish between good and evil, I'm afraid that witch would have snatched away the opportunity to establish an immortal island." A bald diner retorted.
"I heard that Princess Jinghe is extremely talented and can issue orders without the need for talismans. She is especially good at attacking and conquering. With one order, hundreds of troops retreat. Even the weak are afraid of her righteous spirit. If she were not a princess, she would have become a chivalrous woman guarding a place. She will definitely be included in the Penglai Immortal Selection this time." said a scholar nearby.
"Brother, your information is outdated. The Third Princess is in the royal family and does not need to participate in the Penglai Immortal Selection. She can go directly to Penglai Fairy Island in three days and will not compete with us for the three places in the Immortal Selection." The bald guest said, "I don't know if they can get the immortal talisman that can expel abnormalities on a large scale after going to Penglai Fairy Island. If they are greedy for the fairyland and refuse to return, the people of the world will suffer."
"The rise and fall of the world has nothing to do with us, alas."
Everyone shook their heads and just watched the fight on the ring.
In a few seconds, the middle-aged man in the black and white Taoist robe moved his fingers, and the golden light of seal characters flashed in the air. He was seen holding a yellow paper in his hand and shouted "Order - Jifeng shout back!". A gust of wind suddenly blew up, making the opposite swordsman lose his balance and fall off the stage.
"Master Zhuo is indeed an extraordinary martial artist!"
"Good! Good fight!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience, whether they were tea drinkers, gamblers, or diners, all praised loudly.
"Who else?" Zhuo Fanzhi stood on the stage, his voice like thunder.
Su Mingan estimated that Zhuo Fanzhi's combat power was between 2,000 and 2,500 points, which was not as powerful as his palm.
But this kind of combat power is already "a place that can be fought for by the immortals of Penglai" in the eyes of the people, and is considered a master. It seems that the high-end combat power of the tenth world should be between three thousand and four thousand.
I don't know what level Xiao Jingsan is at. It is difficult to listen to the discussion of the people and issue orders directly without yellow paper. But Xiao Jingsan did it.
With just a few words, Su Mingan had already gathered a lot of information - three days later, there would be a "Penglai Fairy Selection" to gather warriors from all over the world, and the warriors would compete with each other. The top three among them would be qualified to go to Penglai Fairy Island.
Cross the ocean to get a glimpse of immortality.
