After listening to the gossip downstairs, Xu Chen looked at Gu Yao and Chi Changye and said, "Could the guy you offended be the Yu Yibo they mentioned?"
Gu Yao also felt that it made sense: "It is very likely that he just came back from outside. If that is the case, we are in trouble again. Look at this guy named Yu Yibo, his status in the Yu family is not low."
If Yu Yibo really did something to the Yu family, then Since he used the materials that someone else had assigned his mother to make pills, the responsibility was entirely on the Yu family, but he had been sent out for five years and was back, so this punishment could be said to be insignificant. Looking at the situation on the airship, it was just like going out for a trip. From their gossip, it could be heard that both the Yu and Kang families had only one Immortal Lord in the early stage, so Yu's mother, a heavenly-level alchemist, had a high status.
"What should we do?" Xu Chen asked again, but there was no sign of worry in his eyes, and it was clear that he wanted to make a fuss.
Chi Changye gave him a glare and said, "Let's get the whole thing sorted out first." For example, the issue of the number of places in the secret realm.
The gossip in the hall was too fragmentary, and they didn't get anything more specific. They only heard them complaining about the Kang family. Gu Yao didn't understand why the Yu family could suppress the Kang family when they both had an early stage immortal king in charge.
The three of them had a full meal and left temporarily to see if there were other places in the city to get information.
On the way, they passed by a Qibaoxuan, which looked large and impressive. It was a store specializing in immortal tools and refining materials. It must be a business of the Kang family. The three of them didn't plan to buy new immortal tools. Just as they were about to turn around and leave, a clerk walked up to them.
"Three Taoist friends, please stay. My young master invites you."
Xu Chen was surprised: "Who is your young master? Do we know him?"
The waiter smiled and pointed upwards: "My young master is upstairs."
The three of them looked upstairs in the direction of his finger. Someone was leaning out of the window to greet them. Gu Yao and Chi Changye's eyes flashed with surprise. Wasn't this the middle-aged celestial being who traded with them for the Silver Frost Fairy Ganoderma? Could he be a member of the Kang family? But they didn't recognize him as a member of the Kang family at that time, otherwise the rest of the family would have called him out long ago.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked at each other and thought at the same time that since they could change their appearance, so could others, so they nodded and said: "Okay, please lead the way." Okay, the three of you, please come in. "
The waiter led the three upstairs. The middle-aged monk was waiting at the stairs. He smiled when he saw them and said, "Three young friends, I didn't expect to meet you here after we met on the airship. Please go to the VIP room for a chat."
"Okay, senior, please."
The middle-aged monk took them into the guest reception room. The second floor was also a display room. The level of the immortal weapons displayed was naturally higher than that on the first floor. With just a glance, he felt that he was going to be blinded by the brilliance of these immortal weapons. They were either low-grade top-level immortal weapons or mid-grade immortal weapons. Just based on these immortal weapons, Yu Kang City was indeed much richer than Donglin City and Jiangzhong City.
Even if the Kang family was suppressed by the Yu family, it was not something that ordinary monks could look down on.
The waiter served them fairy tea and fairy fruit and then left. The middle-aged cultivator looked at them with a smile and introduced himself: "My surname is Kang, my name is Mingsong, the head of the Kang family is my father, and I am the eldest son."
"So you are the eldest son of Kang, we are blind and do not recognize you." The straightforward identity surprised Gu Yao and the other two, and Xu Chen looked at the eldest son of Kang with shining eyes.
Kang Mingsong laughed, and the immortal energy in his body fluctuated, and he turned into a living person, from a middle-aged appearance, to a handsome young man.
Xu Chen was surprised: "You have obviously returned to your own territory, why do you still look like that?" Why is it that the handsome young man in front of him attracts people's attention?
Kang Mingsong smiled and said, "I have been traveling outside these years and have not returned for many years. Now that I am back, I am used to that image. However, the three of you have made great progress in cultivation in a short period of time since we last met. It turns out that I underestimated your alchemy skills."
Of course, he knew what Yu Yibo did, but it was not easy to find someone who was hiding on purpose. Today, when he was upstairs, he accidentally glanced outside and saw the person Yu Yibo was looking for everywhere, walking around in their Kang family's territory. He was a little amused for a while. Was he relying on the Kang family's conflict with the Yu family?
But after another look, Kang Mingsong knew that he had underestimated Gu Yao's alchemy skills when he was on the airship. Just by looking at his and Chi Changye's cultivation, Kang Mingsong knew that the silver frost fairy ganoderma had been used, and the quality of the silver ganoderma fairy pills refined would definitely not be low, otherwise, he and Chi Changye's cultivation would not have jumped a small level in such a short time.
It was this discovery that made Kang Mingsong immediately send a message to the staff below and invite the three people to come up.
"No, it's just luck." Gu Yao said humbly, "We have to thank the senior for the silver frost fairy ganoderma, otherwise
our cultivation would still remain at the original stage." This was equivalent to directly acknowledging his alchemy skills.
Kang Mingsong's eyes lit up, thinking of the situation in the early years when the ancestor of the Yu family was defeated by an outside alchemist. Gu Yao's cultivation was just low now, otherwise, the situation that happened to the ancestor of the Yu family would be repeated in the descendants of the Yu family.
Thinking of the Yu family, Kang Mingsong thought of the secret realm that was about to open. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside. The voice rang out before the person arrived: "Brother, I heard you were entertaining guests? We are coming in."
As soon as the words fell, two young monks pushed the door in. Kang Mingsong shook his head and sighed, pointing at the two reckless brothers and said: "These are my two younger brothers. Although their cultivation is comparable to yours, they are far less stable than you. Mingcheng, Minghao, come to see the friends that brother met on the airship..." Having
said this, Kang Mingsong looked at Gu Yao and the other two again, because he didn't know how to address the three. He thought they were just a chance acquaintance, but he didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to meet again.
Xu Chen just introduced himself: "My last name is Chen, and these are my two junior brothers, Junior Brother Gu and Junior Brother Ye."
Gu Yao and Chi Changye both twitched their lips. No wonder this guy rushed to introduce him. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of this.
Kang Mingsong was surprised for a moment, because he knew that before coming to Yu Kangcheng, Xu Chen was clearly at the peak of the human immortal, so, is this identity really okay?
Kang Minghao was straightforward and blurted out: "Your senior brother's cultivation is weaker than the two junior brothers?"
Xu Chen was shocked! Don't expose someone's shortcomings like that. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's because I entered the sect early. The sect ranks people according to the time of their entry."
Kang Mingsong couldn't help but chuckle. Just by looking at the expressions of Gu Yao and Chi Changye, he knew that Xu Chen had grabbed the title of senior brother himself, but it can also be seen that the three of them have a very good relationship. Seeing that
Kang Minghao still wanted to ask something, Kang Mingsong quickly said, "Okay, Minghao, some sects have their own rules. Don't be rude to Fellow Daoist Chen."
Kang Mingcheng, who was at the back, was more stable. He clasped his fists and greeted Xu Chen and the other two one by one. The three of them also returned the greetings.
After sitting down again, Kang Mingsong asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Brother," Kang Minghao glanced at Xu Chen and the other two, not knowing whether to speak or not. Kang Mingsong motioned him to continue, and then said, "The Yu family is going too far. Do we, the Kang family, really have to give in to them step by step? Sooner or later, this Yu Kang City will have to be renamed Yu City."
Xu Chen asked curiously: "Is it about the quota for the secret realm? We overheard it outside and are confused. How did the Yu family bully your Kang family?"
Although Kang Mingcheng didn't know the origins of these three people, he saw that his eldest brother attached great importance to them. He always admired his eldest brother, so he took the initiative to explain the current situation. Xu Chen listened with relish as if he was telling a story.
At first, the quota was the same as the gossip they had heard. The Yu and Kang families each had 100 quotas to enter the secret realm trial. However, a thousand years ago, during a star beast riot, the Kang family ancestor was injured while defending Yu Kang City. Since then, he has been in seclusion to recuperate. Although the Kang family has thought of many ways, they cannot buy the necessary healing elixirs. The natural materials and treasures they have found are ultimately limited in effect and cannot be cured.
If the ancestor of the Kang family cannot be cured, it will be difficult for him to advance to a higher level in the future.
It was precisely because of the injury to the ancestor of the Kang family that they were unaware at first, but later gradually discovered that the Yu family was secretly encroaching on the power of the Kang family, and gradually turned from covert to overt. Recently, the Yu family has used various means to win over other forces in the city to side with them and put pressure on the Kang family. The situation of the Kang family has become even more serious.
Although Yu Kangcheng is the strongest of the Yu Kang family, it does not mean that there are no longer other forces under the Yu Kang family. Some middle-level forces can also form a strong force, especially now that the ancestors of the Kang family cannot easily take action. Some middle-level forces are even more ready to make a move. When the secret realm is opened this time, they are even making a fuss about the quota in the secret realm.
Kang Minghao was particularly angry when talking about the old things: "If the ancestor had not fought desperately in the front, those rioting star beasts would have broken through the protective shield and rushed into Yu Kang City. I don't know how many cultivators in the city would have died at the hands of the star beasts. But now look at them, they are all ungrateful and ungrateful!"
"Okay!" Kang Mingcheng scolded, "At that time, the Kang family was closely related to the whole city. The ancestor worked for Yu Kang City and for our Kang family!"
"So now they want your Kang family to give up the quota? How much do you want to give? How do you want to give it in? "Xu Chen thought to himself that when it comes to interests, who can remember what happened a thousand years ago? If they didn't turn against each other immediately a thousand years ago, they should have some face.
Compared with these forces, the Yu family's ambitions should be even greater. Just like Kang Minghao said, they want to change Yu Kang City into Yu City, and from then on the Yu family will dominate. By then, these small and medium-sized forces may not have an easy life as they do now. Only when the Yu and Kang families check and balance each other can they have room to survive.
But it would be hard not to be tempted by using the quota of the secret realm to tempt these forces.
Kang Mingcheng showed an embarrassment on his face. Kang Mingsong sighed and said, "Let me tell you about this. They want to determine the final quota through the competition on the stage, which are the alchemy competition, the weapon competition and the final martial arts competition, which is two literary tests and one martial arts test."
