Feeling the white clouds in the sky retreating rapidly around the spiritual shield, Wu Sili lay down on the deck railing and shouted excitedly.
"Wow! This is too fast! Much faster than those flying boats of our sect!"
Zhang Tingruo smiled and explained at the side: "Actually, there are many types of flying boats in our sect, and the one we usually ride is the slowest.
But that’s because the place we go to is not far away every time. If we go back and forth between states, we will use another kind of flying boat, and the speed of that flying boat is not much slower than this Liuyun Boat.”
"A round trip from state to state?"
Wu Sili scratched his head, "When will interstate travel be necessary?"
"That's a lot! All the major sects in Xuantian Realm will hold some gatherings regularly, as well as some secret realms jointly managed by the five major sects, trial conferences, etc. When participating in these activities, you will need to travel between states.
.”
Wu Sili's eyes widened when he heard this, "Is it so lively? There are meetings here and there. Are there any gatherings recently?"
"certainly!"
Zhang Tingruo continued with a smile: "In half a year, there will be an extremely important gathering, and that is the Alchemy Appraisal Conference held in Yanlu Mountain."
"Alchemy Appraisal Conference? What is that for?"
"The Alchemy Appraisal Conference is a gathering held every five years in Yanlu Mountain. At the conference, Yanlu Mountain will invite masters from various forces who are good at alchemy and weapon refining to discuss and exchange techniques. At the same time, there will also be settings for the younger generation.
In the competition, the winners will also receive generous rewards.”
"Ah! Alchemy and weapon refining!" Wu Sili looked disappointed, "What does this have to do with us? Why don't you hold a sword trial conference?"
Zhang Tingruo laughed and said, "You kid, why doesn't it matter? There are people in our sect who are good at alchemy! For example, Zhu Xi, the elder of the alchemy hall, is a good hand at refining weapons, and his skills are not as good as Yan's.
Under the furnace mountain.
There is also Elder Guo from Baicao Peak, who is not only knowledgeable, but also has first-class alchemy skills. These two elders are frequent visitors to the alchemy tasting conference!"
Wang Tiezhu's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
This was the first time he knew that Elder Guo would refine elixirs. Every time he went to look for it, he would see Elder Guo managing the medicine garden. He never thought that he would be able to do this.
But he also remembered the elixir that Elder Guo had brewed for him when he was injured. The elixirs were indistinguishable from one family to another. He had good medical skills, so he must have high attainments in alchemy.
"By the way, I also got a copy of the 'Honglian Alchemy Sutra' from Senior Hong Ba. I never had time to read it before. Since Elder Guo is good at refining elixirs, I can ask him for more advice in the future."
Wang Tiezhu was thinking to himself, while Zhang Tingruo was explaining Elder Zhu's situation to Wu Sili over there.
"...You have been sharpening your Taoist heart in Leiguang Cave before, so it is normal that you don't know these things. In our Litian Sword Sect, in addition to the headmaster and the elders of the five palm peaks, there are many elders who are not inherited by our sect.
.
These elders are all powerful monks who joined our Sword Sect for various reasons and are also involved in the management of many facilities in the Sword Sect."
"For example, Elder Zhu Eo, he is a Jade Desolate Realm monk. Because he doesn't like fighting and only likes to refine weapons, and he has a good relationship with our leader, he joined the Sword Sect.
On weekdays, he mostly refines spiritual weapons in the depths of the Alchemy Hall and rarely shows up, so few people know about it. However, most of the high-level magic weapons in our sect that need to be exchanged for experience points come from his hands.
"
"I see!"
Not to mention Wu Sili, even Wang Tiezhu knew for the first time that there was an elder in the depths of the Alchemy Hall. Zhang Tingruo was indeed the "Living Encyclopedia of the Litian Sword Sect"!
I saw him continue: "But I think Brother Tiezhu knows more about Elder Baicao Fengguo, right?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly.
"Actually, it's not much. It's just because I have a lot of demand for various spiritual herbs on weekdays, so I often ask Elder Guo for advice, and I've become more familiar with it over time.
However, Elder Guo is very mysterious and never shows his true face to others. He always wears a monkey-faced smiley mask. He has a bad temper and is always teasing others."
Thinking that he was often criticized by Elder Guo, Wang Tiezhu smiled bitterly, and then said: "But he has a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
If you need to find him in the future, remember to bring a bottle of wine, and don’t fall directly on the top of his mountain. You must hike up from the foot of the mountain, otherwise you will be knocked down with a stick!"
Several other people looked at the experienced Wang Tiezhu and nodded. They must have summed up these things from senior brother Wang's personal experience.
After everyone talked for a while, they saw two well-dressed middle-aged men walking from a distance. They looked very similar, except that one had gray hair and beard, and the other had black hair and beard.
The two came to Wang Tiezhu and others, and the man with gray hair and beard among them raised his hands and said: "I'm in the hall, this is my younger brother Yutai, the steward of this floating cloud boat. I just heard your conversation in the distance.
I just found out that these talented people were disciples of the Shang Sect and came here to pay their respects!"
Looking at the two people in front of him who bowed their hands in salute, Zhang Tingruo also returned the greeting: "You two are welcome, we are traveling in plainclothes this time just because we don't want to attract too much attention, but we didn't expect to disturb the two stewards!"
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "What the hell! It is our blessing that the disciples of the Shang Zong ride on our floating cloud boat. If it were not for the protection of the Shang Zong, our business in the north would not be so stable.
I wonder which peak of the Shang Sect some of you are disciples of? Why are you going to the far north? Maybe we can help."
Zhang Tingruo smiled slightly when he heard this and introduced Wang Tiezhu and others one by one.
After hearing that Wang Tiezhu was a disciple of Que Yufeng, the two stewards looked at each other and expressed surprise.
"Que Yufeng has added a new disciple? Could it be that the leader Huan Chenzun is back?"
Wang Tiezhu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "My master did not return to the sect. I entered Que Yufeng only after my senior brother Zhou Huaying accepted a disciple as my master."
“It turns out it’s Zhou Shoutu’s intention!”
The two stewards nodded, but when they looked at Wang Tiezhu again, there was a different look in their eyes.
"This person is not very old, but he has achieved the ultimate level of cultivation. No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by Zhou Huaying's acting master!"
"That's right! You and I should try to win over you!"
The two brothers, Yutang and Tai, looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts. They have been working in the industry for decades, and some things can be understood without dialogue.
Wang Tiezhu didn't know the little calculation in the minds of these two people, and continued: "We are going to the far north this time because my junior brother Zhang's father's birthday is coming soon, and we want to buy some altars of snow fairy to celebrate Uncle Zhang's birthday.
