Wanfeng County and Xuanming City are very far apart. It takes at least ten days or half a month to fly there, which is a bit too long.

Gao Xian has the Golden Que Talisman for taking the Taoist exam, so he can use the Golden Que Talisman to lock onto the Xuanming City teleportation array and use the teleportation talisman to teleport directly over.

This teleportation array is located in the northwest corner of Xuanming City. It is a huge platform several dozen feet high. Standing in the center of the array, you can overlook Xuanming City.

Xuanming City is divided into five large cities, namely the east, south, west, north and center, and all five cities are in a circular shape. Looking down from the high platform, you can see five huge circles connected to each other, forming a complex and mysterious pattern.

Although Gao Xian was not proficient in magic arrays, he could see that the five cities were set up according to the changes in the five elements' directions, forming a huge five-element magic array.

It is said that Taoist Xuanyang hates the Five Elements Sect, but the magic formation of Xuanming City is the Five Elements Magic Formation. This is really a bit strange.

The five cities are all large in scale. The four cities in the east, west, south and north are the largest, and the city in the middle is slightly smaller. It is not that they are small in scale, but that there are fewer people living there and fewer buildings, which makes them seem much smaller than the other four cities.

Qingqing also looked around curiously. Xuanming City is the center of Mingzhou and is truly the largest city in Mingzhou. For Qingqing, her first impression was that the magic array here was extremely powerful. She could only use 10% of her 100% magic power.

This big city made her feel very depressed, even more depressing than the Taiming Spirit Realm.

A Taoist priest in yellow came out of the magic circle, holding a book in his hand and grinning at Gao Xian and Qing Qing: "You two are the True Lords who are taking the Taoist exam, right? Welcome, welcome..."

Qingqing thought this person was quite polite, she smiled and replied: "Yes, we are from Wanfeng Sect."

"Two True Lords, according to the rules, you need to pay ten high-grade spirit stones to use the teleportation array."

The Taoist priest in yellow smiled very politely, "It's ten high-quality spirit stones per person. I'd also like to trouble you two to register and leave your names..."

Qingqing raised her eyebrows. Using the teleportation array cost money, and the price was so expensive. She was a little unwilling and wanted to reason with this little golden elixir.

Gao Xian directly took out twenty high-quality spirit stones and handed them to the Taoist in yellow. Xiao Xiao Jindan didn't have the courage to blackmail Yuanying Zhenjun. He was just following the rules. It was useless to reason with him.

The Taoist priest in yellow respectfully took the spiritual stone with both hands, and presented the book and brush, asking Gao Xian and Qing Qing to leave their names.

After Gao Xian and Qing Qing signed, the Taoist priest in yellow said, "You two can go to Lingyin Temple to rest with the Golden Palace Talisman."

He paused and whispered, "The fee is ten high-grade spirit stones per person."

Qingqing pouted. She was treated as a distinguished guest wherever she went with Gao Xian. She never spent any money on her own food, clothing, housing and transportation. As the leader of Mingzhou, Xuanming Cult was stingy in doing things, which made her look down on them.

The Taoist priest in yellow smiled and said, "Please forgive me, the two True Lords. I am also following the rules and I have no choice."

He then asked, "You two True Lords are new to Xuanming City, right? I have some sensible and well-behaved Taoist children here. They are familiar with the situation and can do things efficiently. Would you like to hire one of them to serve you?"

Gao Xian smiled. Xuanming City really knows how to do business. He asked casually, "How many spirit stones a day?"

"The Taoist boy just needs to do some odd jobs. It doesn't cost much. Just give him ten low-grade spirit stones a day." said the Taoist priest in yellow.

"Okay, then call someone smart and sensible over here."

When Gao Xian heard the price was reasonable, he thought it would be convenient to have someone familiar with the situation to run errands for him.

The old Taoist in yellow was very happy. He was also trying to attract business for his disciples and give the children a chance to make money. Otherwise, he, a dignified Jindan Zhenren, would not have to ask for ten spirit stones.

Soon a Taoist boy in green robes came running over. His name was Zhang Hai, and he was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had red lips and white teeth, and his clothes were neat and tidy. He had big black eyes and looked quite smart. He spoke and acted in a proper manner.

Gao Xian thought it was a good idea, so he asked Qingqing to give Zhang Hai 20 low-grade spirit stones and hired him for two days to see how it went.

Zhang Hai took the spirit stone with both hands and couldn't help but smile.

Qingqing didn't like children, nor did she like this kind of half-grown teenager. She ignored Zhang Hai. Zhang Hai secretly looked at Qingqing and found that although this sister was beautiful, she was unapproachable.

On the contrary, the man in white clothes beside him had a noble but gentle temperament and spoke in a humorous way. After just a few words, Zhang Hai felt that this Yuanying Zhenjun was particularly amiable, just like his friend.

"Is Lingyinyuan far from here?" Gao Xian asked.

"It's not too far. It will take about half an hour to walk."

Although Zhang Hai felt that Gao Xian was approachable, he also knew that he was a Yuanying Zhenjun after all, so he had to be prudent no matter how close he was. Therefore, he spoke very respectfully and did not dare to be rude.

Zhang Hai added: "Flying is prohibited in Xuanming City. Only the Law Enforcement Court and the high-level masters of our sect can fly in Xuanming City. Generally speaking, there are ground vehicles passing through, so it is very convenient to travel..."

Coming down from the platform of the teleportation array, Gao Xian saw the long wooden tracks laid on the streets and the long wooden carriages running automatically on them. They were very similar to the subway in his previous life and ran at about the same speed.

Tianhong City has underground vehicles, and Xuanming City has more underground vehicles than Tianhong City. It can be seen that the huge urban circle composed of five cities has a high demand for transportation.

"True Lord, would you like to try..."

Zhang Hai thought Gao Xian was interested in the underground car, so he hurriedly said, "There is a station outside Lingyinyuan, and you can get there with just one Lingshi."

Qingqing had no interest in this simple wooden carriage. She shook her head slightly. Instead of sitting in a cramped carriage, it would be better to go around Xuanming City.

Zhang Hai knew better and stopped trying to persuade him. He led the way, moving his calves. It was the beginning of August, and the sun was very strong at noon. The boy's neck was soon sweating.

He was only a Qi training level three cultivator, and he couldn't yet be immune to cold and heat.

The changing seasons in this world all contain strong changes in spiritual energy. Not to mention the Qi training level, even the Golden Elixir can't ignore the changes in the cold and heat of the world.

Gao Xian and Qing Qing followed the young man and walked slowly. The long street paved with bluestone was neat and clean, with tall sycamore trees on both sides. The surrounding buildings were mostly brick and stone structures, which were heavy and steady with a sense of history.

The passers-by were all dressed neatly and cleanly, and their expressions were relatively calm and gentle. The cultivators living in the big city were less barbaric and tyrannical than the ordinary cultivators in the market, and they were not as wary of outsiders.

From this we can see that Xuanming City is very safe. Only in this way can the cultivators get used to the comfortable environment and change their temperament.

Xuanming City has a relaxed, peaceful, and even comfortable atmosphere, which is quite rare in other big cities.

Even though other big cities were bustling and lively, they lacked the tranquility and peace of this place. The temperament of the people here was similar to that of ordinary people in Gao Xian's previous life.

Gao Xian kind of likes this place. It is clean, tidy, relaxing and comfortable. If he doesn't have much ambition, he can live here in his old age.

Anyway, with the Pure Yang Daoist Master in charge, no one dared to mess around in Xuanming City. At least no one above the Nascent Soul level dared to do so.

There are definitely cases of stealing, kidnapping, murder and arson in private. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Not to mention that the cultivators all possessed powerful strength. Even ordinary people in the previous life did not affect their ability to kill and burn.

Gao Xian was just thinking about the so-called retirement. He knew very well that the world was changing and the Nine Continents were going to be destroyed, so what was a mere Xuanming City?

Even Xuanming Daozun is unreliable. Only when you control your own power can you be the most reliable.

As long as he gets first place in this exam, he will be able to obtain the Great Five Elements Divine Light. Once he refines the Great Five Elements Divine Light and then melts the five swords into one, it should be enough for him to attain enlightenment and become a god.

At that time, go to Wuqi Cave Heaven to have a look, maybe there will be some benefits. If not, go and help Lu Xuanji kill people and get the Great Five Elements Hunyuan Heavenly Wheel.

With this sixth-rank artifact, even if I can't kill everyone, at least I can protect myself.

Gao Xian already has a rough plan for the next five hundred years. Of course, Chunyang is taking this step a bit too far, so there is no point in planning now.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"My two True Lords, this is the main building of Wanbao Tower, the largest trading house in Mingzhou!"

Zhang Hai has great potential to be a tour guide. When passing by a tall building, he started to introduce it with all his might.

This is a nine-story octagonal building, more than 90 feet high. The building shines with golden light under the sunlight, like a towering golden mountain.

Gao Xian saw this building when he was on the teleportation platform. There was no other way. This building was the tallest and most conspicuous in the huge city. Standing in the center of the city, it really had the momentum of a king who was in charge of everything.

There are several huge squares surrounding the high-rise buildings, which are crowded with people and extremely lively.

"Master, do you know why Wanbao Tower is called this name?" Zhang Hai asked in a flattering manner.

Gao Xian really didn't care about this matter. He just knew that Wanbao Tower was opened by the Xuanming Sect, so it could gain a foothold in various places in Mingzhou and no one dared to disrespect it.

"Oh, what's the explanation?"

"The ten thousand treasures are taken from the fundamental secret method of our religion, the Taiyi Xuanming Ten Thousand Treasures Sutra..."

Zhang Hai was also beaming with joy when talking about this, and proudly introduced the origin of Wanbao Tower.

"I see."

"True Lord, because of this Taoist test, Wanbao Building is going to hold an auction. It is said that the scale is the largest in the past 500 years, and many hidden artifacts will be auctioned..."

Zhang Hai secretly looked at Gao Xian, but couldn't tell whether he was interested or not. He said cautiously, "If you want to participate, I can reserve a spot in advance."

Even if Gao Xian didn't reward him for this kind of errands, he could still get some benefits from Wanbaolou. Therefore, he was very active in soliciting customers for Wanbaolou.

"It's so lively, I have to go and see..."

Gao Xian is very rich now, he wants to see what good things he can buy at the auction. What he wants now is actually difficult to buy at the auction.

However, you can buy Qingqing some useful magic tools and spiritual objects. Qingqing is already a Yuanying Sword Lord, and except for a magic sword, everything else is average.

Yue Wanfeng did him a favor and gave Qingqing a place to take the Dao exam. This meant that Qingqing could formally take the Dao exam, receive rewards, and obtain the True Lord Divine Scroll granted by the Dao Court.

If Qingqing took the exam with him, then only his place would be counted. The meanings of the two are completely different.

Mingzhou is so vast, and many Yuanying Zhenjuns gather together to compete. Gao Xian is confident that he can take first place, but Qingqing is not sure. It is necessary to prepare some magical artifacts for Qingqing.

Zhang Hai was immediately excited after hearing this. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely get it done for you."

After another deal was done, Zhang Hai became more respectful to Gao Xian and Qing Qing and talked more. Along the way, he introduced many local customs and practices.

The boy spoke fluently and clearly, and what he said was interesting. With someone to talk to, I didn't feel lonely on the road.

"This is Lingyinyuan."

Zhang Hai pointed to the vast high wall in front and said, "This place is specially used to entertain foreign guests. All the Yuanying Zhenjun who will participate in the Dao test this time will be arranged here."

When they arrived at the gate, Zhang Hai took Gao Xianqing's Golden Que Order and went forward to negotiate. After a short while, he completed the formalities with the guards in front of the gate.

As soon as the three of them entered the gate, they saw green trees in front of them, and independent courtyards could be seen faintly among the trees.

Gao Xian was casually looking around when he suddenly felt someone looking at him. He turned his head and saw several men and women in Taoist robes standing not far behind him.

The woman standing in front of him had a beautiful face, wearing a clean jade-white Taoist robe, holding a white jade whisk in her hand, and looking at him with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water.

Gao Xian recognized him immediately. He turned around, smiled, and bowed, "Fellow Daoist Qingle, long time no see."

The woman in the jade-white Taoist robe also showed a look of joy: "Fellow Daoist Gao, it really is you. After two hundred years of separation, I didn't expect to meet you here..."

She smiled sincerely, and the joy on her face was like a blooming flower, bright and beautiful, full of moving charm. Gao Xian also smiled very happily. He missed this beauty two hundred years ago, and met her again two hundred years later. What a fate!

Qingqing watched Gao Xian smile so gently and elegantly, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Dad, this girl has so many friends..."

The expressions of the male monks beside the woman in the jade-white Taoist robe were also somewhat complicated. (End of this chapter)
