Chapter 45: Fuyue City

  Ten days later is the departure date, Wang Chen naturally wants to make preparations.

  Xiao Qing's rations and elixirs must be brought along, not to mention the ritual instruments and talismans. Other supplies such as healing potions and spiritual wine should also be stocked up.

  Even Wang Chen bought tens of thousands of mid-grade spiritual grains, fortunately the cultivator selling the spiritual grains had been trading with Wang Chen for several years and were familiar with each other. Wang Chen told him that he was going to be away for a year, which dispelled the other party's doubts, and in the shortest time possible, gathered hundreds of kilograms of spiritual grains.

  Ten days later, a cyan-colored boat-shaped flying treasure flew out from the Luo Yun Sect.

  On the precious instrument, several cultivators were talking in a low voice. Four men and one woman, their cultivation was not the same, except for one who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the others were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

  But it's really unknown how much strength he has. After all, they are all at the ninth level of Qi refining, and because of the differences in divine abilities and artifacts, their strengths will also differ greatly!

  "Wang Shidi, you people are really lucky this time. Your disciples just happened to encounter the Beast Tide and didn't even need to go through a strict screening to get in!" The speaker was a female cultivator with the surname Li, who according to their conversation, was originally a cultivator from the Li family of Fuyue City and had only joined the Luoyun Sect five years ago.

  "It's true! Wang Shixiong is much luckier than me. If my opponent hadn't been seriously injured in the previous battle and conceded, I wouldn't have been able to enter Luoyun Sect!"

  The monk named Zhang Qi had the lowest cultivation, only having practiced to the eighth layer of Qi refinement. After hearing Li Shijie's words, he spoke with a hint of envy and a thread of fear towards several people.

  The other monks all burst out laughing and also looked down on Zhang Qi a lot. People with weak personalities are generally not taken seriously.

  In less than half a day, the ranking of several fellow disciples was sorted out. Wu Shixiong is the direct disciple of this foundation-building period's Shifu, naturally ranked first. Ranked second is Li Shijie, beautiful as a flower, with strong cultivation and pursued by several people, sent to the second place, but there are also some who genuinely pursue Li Shijie, which is another story.

  The last one was naturally Zhang Qi, the weakest in cultivation, followed by Wang Chen. Another cultivator also took the third brother's position after Wang Chen's humility, but the positions of the five were fixed. However, when danger came, it was hard to say who would listen to their senior brother's words.

  Wang Chen watched as several people chatted intimately yet insincerely, smiling slightly, but saying nothing.

  Among the few, Zhang Qi was the most dangerous to Wang Chen, followed by the eldest senior brother, Li Shijie and two other disciples. Although they felt that their cultivation was higher, they always lacked a sense of unease in Wang Chen's heart.

  However, this feeling is very faint, and if Wang Chen uses his full strength, these four people working together are no match for him.

  All the way, Zhang Qi showed a humble and polite attitude, even getting along with Wang Chen. However, unlike others, Wang Chen used his limited time to contemplate the symbol text and didn't communicate much with them.

  Fuyue City is located in the southwest of Liangguo, 600 miles away from Luoyunzong. Although the speed of the foundation period's repairmen driving the treasure instrument was very fast, it took a whole day and didn't arrive until the next afternoon.

  The azure flying treasure emitted waves of treasure light, ignoring the formation of Fuyue City and directly breaking in.

  On the boat-shaped altar, five people are standing. In front is a middle-aged man, exuding an astonishing aura, with his face expressionless and looking down. Behind the middle-aged monk are four men and one woman, four monks, standing cautiously.

  Wang Chen looked at Li Shijie's slightly trembling eyes, and then glanced at the expressions of others. Zhang Qi was expressionless, as if he had something on his mind, while the other two people were filled with excitement and curiosity.

  "As soon as they arrived, they caused such a commotion, forcing their way in and making a big show of power. It seems that Luo Yunzong and the Li family are not on good terms!"

  Wang Chen was secretly thinking to himself, but his face didn't reveal anything. Anyway, he came here hoping to find clues about the Kong Ming Stone, and dealing with demons was secondary; if there was danger, he could just run away.

  The treasure slowly fell under the control of Master Shu's uncle during the foundation period and finally stopped at a large mansion in the north of the city.

  Stop the treasure device, the foundation period repairer fell down, and Wang Chen and others also followed behind him and jumped down.

  The foundation period of the repair master put away the treasure device, and a group of people at the door came up to welcome him.

  "Thanks for your trouble in coming from afar, I'm delighted to welcome you!" An elderly white-haired man from the Li family stood before everyone and bowed.

  Fu Shibo, who had been silent all the way, forced a faint smile and said, "Li family head, let's dispense with the formalities. This time I've come mainly to discuss demonic cultivation matters, so let's not bother with too much courtesy!"

  Li's host felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this and immediately invited Master Fu in.

  As soon as they entered the hall, Fu Shu also didn't hesitate and directly ordered the four to go down. After whispering with Li Jia's master for a while, they left together.

  Then, Wang Chen and his five men were led aside by a young monk.

  "Li Shijie, what are your family head and master discussing?" Wu Shixiong couldn't help but ask as soon as they had walked a few steps. This was Li's territory, so naturally Li Shimiao knew more about it.

  Li Shijie was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Wu Shixiong, you're worrying too much! Fu Shishu's cultivation is so high and his divine powers are extraordinary, how could anything happen to him? Besides, what discussions Shishu has with the master of the house aren't something we can know!"

  Wu Shixiong heard this and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, "That's indeed the case! Fu Shifu is one of the most promising cultivators in Luoyun Sect to advance to the Golden Dan stage! His divine abilities are extraordinary!"

  Having heard this, the young man leading the way asked with a mixture of admiration and curiosity: "Is Officer Fu that formidable?"

  Wu Shixiong heard this and started bragging, talking about Shi Fu's history.

  Fu Shibo was quite famous in the Luoyun Sect, although his Three Spiritual Roots endowment was not good. However, he gained a lot from the secret realm of Zhulong Valley and finally succeeded in building his foundation. As a result, Fu Shibo, this ascetic cultivator, quickly became an idol for most disciples with poor endowments.

  Now in his eighties, Master Fu is not only extraordinary in his methods but also has an impressive cultivation base that can be said to have reached the later stage of foundation building, and it's likely that he will achieve Golden Elixir within his lifetime!

  Wu Shixiong introduced the situation of Fu Shishu all the way, with a proud look on his face. After all, having such a powerful master is a blessing that ordinary cultivators can hardly aspire to.

  The Li family's house wasn't very big, and in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, several people had arrived at a courtyard. The young man who had been laughing all along finally stopped, pulling out several jade tokens.

  "A few seniors, forgive me for having other things to attend to. These four jade tokens are the array jade tokens of each room. Everyone can choose freely. In a few days, I will come to disturb you again."

  After finishing, the young monk with a kind face left the yard. Following Li's greeting, she also turned and left. The remaining four people, including Wang Chen, were annoyed. As a subordinate cultivation family of Luoyun Sect, they actually left a disciple of Luoyun Sect here, without even a servant to serve them.

  Wu Shixiong was most displeased, and casually chose a jade token to enter the corresponding room. The others looked at each other with wry smiles and each chose their own room.

  Back in the room, Wang Chen immediately set up two simple arrays. A sense of defense is indispensable, especially in such an obvious situation, and the relationship between the Li family and Luo Yunzong was far from as harmonious as imagined.

  After setting up the formation, Wang Chen pondered over this situation.

  Luo Yunzong and the Li family's situation may have already been extremely bad, and there may even be a risk of a showdown. The previous situation Wang Chen had already seen, but Master Fu actually disregarded the rules between cultivators, forcibly flying into Fuyue City, clearly not giving the Li family face, or rather, wanting to give the Li family a warning.

  However, considering Master Fu's strength, Wang Chen doesn't need to worry about the safety of a few people for now. At least according to Wu Shixiong's description, Master Fu was already unbeatable in the foundation-building period. But thinking of this point, Wang Chen suddenly became speechless. Obviously, there is something wrong with the Li family this time, and Wu Shixiong stupidly didn't mention Master Fu's situation at all.

  Although these situations can be inquired about by the other party, at least doing so is too stupid!

  Wang Chen thought for a while, then started his daily dull cultivation again. Although he had already reached the 9th layer of Qi refining, he could still feel that his spiritual power was increasing slightly every day when he meditated. These increases accumulated together, and over time, he would be able to touch the bottleneck of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

  On the other hand, after Li Shijie left, he was called over by the second elder of the Li family, who was also Li Shijie's grandfather, and asked in detail about the situation this time.

  "Grandfather, what's going on this time? Is it true that our Li family is going to betray the Luo Yun Sect as rumored?" Li Shijie asked before leaving. The second elder, who looked similar to the head of the household, trembled slightly and replied nonchalantly: "Rui'er thinks too much, if the Li family leaves the Luo Yun Sect, how can we still suppress the other forces around Fuyue City?"

  After finishing, he gently patted the head of Rui'er. Li Shijie, also known as Rui'er, nodded despite her doubts. Fuyue City must rely on Luoyun Sect to occupy most of the nearby cultivation resources; otherwise, it would have been divided by other immortal forces long ago.

  After chatting, the two elders instructed Rui'er to go down and cultivate well!

  But after Li Dui'er left, the Second Elder seemed to have aged several decades, sitting in his chair muttering to himself, "Big brother, what are you going to do?! Although the annual offerings required by Luo Yun Sect are many, at least we can live a stable life. That Yin Shi Sect is not easy to deal with..."
