"Haha, these two sisters are so beautiful, but they look a little unfamiliar. Could it be that they are new to the East China Sea?" Bishuirou seemed to be a well-rounded person, and she pulled Yan Sijing and Yan Siyun. The two sisters looked like they had known each other for a long time and had a deep love for each other.
appearance.
The two daughters of the Yan family run Baidanfang on weekdays, so they naturally have to deal with all kinds of people. They immediately greeted Bishuirou and chatted for a few words.
After some polite greetings, everyone took their seats.
"Fellow Taoist Bishui, the Immortal Fruit Fair is approaching, how is the situation on Fusang Island?" Xiying asked straight to the point.
"The islands participating in the conference have basically gathered. The situation in the Central Plains is unstable. I heard that the Wuyue Sect has reappeared in the Northern Desert, and the East China Sea has also been affected. The islands participating in the conference are all working hard to compete for the red mulberry fairy fruit to improve the island's
In terms of strength, the situation is much worse than we previously expected." Bishuirou looked sad, as if she didn't have much hope for this conference.
When Yuan Ming heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
He did not expect that the news of the Wuyue Sect's comeback had already spread to the East China Sea. It seemed that they had made quite a stir recently.
He has been cultivating behind closed doors for more than a year and has no information. It seems that he will have to contact Xu Che later and ask about the movements of Black Wind Desert and Wuyue Sect.
"Speaking of which, the helper Sister Xiying has found is fellow Taoist Yuan, right?" Bishuirou looked at Yuan Ming and asked.
"It's true that I, fellow Daoist Bishui, think that I am too weak to be used for anything?" Yuan Ming said calmly.
"Since Sister Xiying invited Fellow Daoist Yuan to come over, I naturally believe that her vision must be good, but I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Yuan's cultivation in the early stage of forming pills is a bit low." Although Bi Shuirou had a smile on her face, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"The competition is about one's own strength and means, not the level of cultivation. Otherwise, the winner can be determined by simply going on stage to show off one's cultivation. Why would there be a need to hold a special conference?" Xiying shook her head and said disapprovingly.
"What Fellow Daoist Xi said is that my sister and I are in urgent need of red mulberry fairy fruit elixir. There are sixteen places in each conference, and those first-class islands almost occupy twelve places. Only second-class islands can really be left for us.
Four, so I have to be more cautious. I wonder if I can discuss it with fellow Taoist Yuan, so that I can calm down." Bi Shuirou said, and suddenly smiled at Yuan Ming.
Her smile seems to have a unique sweet charm, like a pink lotus after the rain. There are drops of dew falling between the blooming buds, which makes the flowers and leaves pink and delicate, making her face more delicate.
However, when Yuan Ming saw her smile, the look in his eyes was as calm as an ancient well.
"Fellow Daoist Bishui, a discussion is a competition, so let's avoid such small tricks." He said lightly, and at the same time he raised his hand and pointed lightly to his side.
The fingertips flashing with lightning were hovering in mid-air, just touching a thin transparent shadow. It was a three-inch long transparent embroidery needle with a plum blossom pattern on the end.
Seeing this situation, Bi Shuirou's eyes suddenly jumped.
This shadowless plum blossom needle is a magic weapon that she spent a lot of effort to refine. It can hide her tracks, restrain her aura fluctuations, and is extremely sharp.
With this treasure, she defeated several monks of the same level one after another. Two of them even died without knowing what happened. Yuan Ming actually blocked the needle with a single movement of his hand, seemingly not paying much attention at all.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yuan would hide his secrets, but this trick of my concubine would make you laugh." Bishuirou sneered, stood up and bowed.
Yuan Ming retracted his fingers, his expression remained calm.
He had long understood the situation of Hongzhi Island from Xi Ying. This island was only average in strength among the second-class islands. The only things it could use were charm skills and hidden weapons. Yuan Ming could see through it with only his spiritual sense.
Although she didn't actually take action, Bishuirou knew that she was no match based on this alone.
As Yuan Ming showed off his strength, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became much more harmonious. Bishuirou took the initiative to relent, and after saying a few nice words, she changed the subject at the right time and started talking about the information she had gathered in the past few days.
"There are a total of 128 islands registered for this conference. To determine the top 16, there will be a total of three rounds of competition. The specific groups and opponents will not be known until the competition officially begins, but I have already summarized it.
Several second-class islands worthy of attention are all staffed by late-stage pill-forming monks, and they are..." Bishuirou analyzed seriously.
Yuan Ming didn't pay much attention, but Xiying listened attentively and asked for some details from time to time.
"It's just a monk in the core formation stage, even if you are in the late stage of pill formation, you can't break it with just a wave of your hand. Do you need to be so careful?" Yuan Ming communicated with Xi Ying through a message, feeling a little unconcerned.
"The world of immortality in the East China Sea is mixed, and a master might pop up from somewhere. It's better to be careful," Xiying replied.
"With your methods, it won't be a problem to win two rounds of competition, but Bi Shuirou doesn't seem to be very strong. She will have to win one of the three rounds. If we lose, all our efforts will be wasted." Yuan Ming was slightly a little agitated.
Worry.
"There are one hundred and twenty-eight islands. We can't all encounter strong ones. Bi Shuirou's charm is useless to us, but it is still a bit of a threat to ordinary monks. With the addition of hidden weapons and magical powers, we won the first round of the competition.
It shouldn't be a problem." Xiying replied through a message.
"Having said that, there should be some other reasons why you chose Hongzhi Island, right?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Well, first of all, I had some friendship with Bi Shuirou when I was building the foundation, and I know her very well. Secondly, it's because she only needs the core of the red mulberry fairy fruit to refine the medicine, and to refine the Five Elements Condensing Infant Pill, she needs...
It's just fruit pulp, so there's no conflict between them, and it can save you trouble later." Xiying explained.
"Speaking of which, there should be quite a few islands like Bishuirou that invite alchemy cultivators to help out. It's a good thing we met us. If there are rogue cultivators with evil intentions and want to monopolize the red mulberry fairy fruit, how should they deal with it?" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of it.
What? I asked curiously.
"Don't worry about this. If this happens, Fuso Island will personally send people to hunt down the casual cultivator until the red mulberry fairy fruit is recovered." Xiying said.
"Fuso Island would be so kind to help a second-class island?" Yuan Ming was a little surprised.
"No, they are just doing this to ensure that every red mulberry fairy fruit is given out according to their arrangements." Xiying said.
"It seems to be establishing prestige." Yuan Ming said thoughtfully.
"Yes, something happened once. Before being caught, the casual cultivator who was being hunted made the red mulberry fruit into elixir and drank it. However, after being caught by Fusang Island, the ancestor of Yuanying personally took action and killed this man.
The casual cultivators refined it into a pill, which is said to have retained 40% of the original medicinal power of the red mulberry fairy fruit. Finally, it was returned to the island in distress and was taken by the island owner." Xiying said slowly.
Yuan Ming was silent. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Changchun Temple again. As the overlord of the East China Sea, Fusang Island's behavior was exactly the same as Changchun Temple.
Perhaps, the same is true for the other three domains. Everyone must abide by the rules set by the top sects and forces, without exception.
Some call it hegemony, some call it oppression, but some call it order.
At least, Yuan Ming is not disgusted with this approach. After all, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as maintaining the peace and stability of the Fairy Fruit Conference.
Although he yearns for freedom, he also knows that freedom without any restrictions or restrictions will only drag everyone into the abyss of indulgence and chaos.
Yuan Ming and others stayed in Xiaguang City for a day, summarizing and sorting out the information collected by each of them, and then set off for Fusang City.
…
Fuso City is the largest city among the islands in the East China Sea. It can be said that the prosperity of this city is the most prosperous that Yuan Ming has ever seen in his life.
In order to please the Golden Crow living at the top of the sacred tree, the buildings in Fuso City are mainly in gold and red. Looking down from the sky, the entire city looks like a soaring Golden Crow, accompanying the Fuso Sacred Tree.
.
Therefore, the city was divided into five different areas by six broad avenues and a ring road, namely Wushou District, Shuxin District, Left Wing District, Right Wing District, and Wuzu District.
The Wushou District, located due north, and the Tree Heart District surrounding the sacred tree are closely connected. Only direct descendants of Fuso Island can enter here.
The left wing area and the right wing area, which are the largest areas, are designated as the residences of monks, and most of the mansions can be temporarily occupied by spending spiritual stones.
The one hundred and twenty-eight mansions in the right wing area were specially vacated by Fuso Island and specially provided for the use of the one hundred and twenty-eight islands that have the qualifications to participate in the Fairy Fruit Club.
Each of these 128 mansions has a separate garden courtyard, which is far apart from each other, ensuring that the participating islands will not affect each other because they live too close.
Wuzu District is small in area, but it is a place dedicated to trading. It is more lively than other places. Shops of all sizes on the street are crowded together, vying to attract customers. There are many kinds of goods on sale, even from
There are also many specialties from the other four regions.
Hongzhi Island was one of the participating islands. As soon as they entered Fusang City, they were accommodated in a spacious mansion in the right wing area under the reception arrangements of the Fusang Island monks.
There are enough rooms in the mansion, and even if Yan Siyun and others who came with Yuan Ming stayed there, there would still be plenty left.
There are still a few days before the Fairy Fruit Club is officially held, and the Hongzhi Island group is not idle either. They have been busy as soon as they settled in. From Bi Shuirou to the Foundation Establishment disciples, they all use their own methods to try to find out who will participate in the Fairy Fruit Club.
island information.
Yan Siyun and others who followed Yuan Ming also went to Wuzu District without stopping to discuss cooperation with the merchants and shops who came to participate in the event.
As a result, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying became idlers.
Xiying had been to Fuso City a long time ago and was not very interested in the scenery of the place, so she went back to her house to practice on her own.
Yuan Ming did not go out. He returned to his room and sat down cross-legged.
He placed a ban in the house, took out the silver token, opened the silver barrier, and entered the space of the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron.
