When Ye Bufan walked out of the room, Luo Bingyan was sitting outside the door, protecting him while seizing the time to practice.
Gongsun Hong was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, working tirelessly on the alchemy.
He is a person who wholeheartedly pursues the path of alchemy. He has worked hard for thousands of years but failed to become a ninth-level immortal alchemist.
Now that I finally have such a master who knows everything, I must seize the time to improve my alchemy skills.
Seeing him walking out of the room, Luo Bingyan finished her practice and came over.
Gongsun Hong also completed the furnace of elixirs as quickly as possible and stayed by Ye Bufan's side with a respectful expression, which was completely the courtesy of a disciple.
Ye Bufan pulled up a chair himself and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
"Is there any movement over at Longtou Mountain? Is the reception going well?"
Luo Bingyan said: "It went very smoothly. After being intimidated by you, Long Xuanzhen and others did not dare to go back.
Those who stayed behind before have also fled, and now they have completely become the property of our Luo family.
After all, the Long family is just a low-level small family. If they can't find a bigger backer, they will definitely not dare to come back."
At this point, she frowned slightly: "I'm worried about the Lingyun Sword Sect. I'm afraid they won't let this matter go."
Ye Bufan asked: "What kind of existence is Lingyun Sword Sect in Zhongtian Domain? What is the strength of their strongest person?"
He had just arrived and didn't know much about the situation here. He had to seize the time to collect information and know himself and the enemy so that he could win every battle.
Luo Bingyan said: "Within a million miles around us, Lingyun Sword Sect is the most powerful existence. According to legend, their sect leader has reached the peak of Daluo Immortal."
Ye Bufan nodded slightly, not paying much attention to it. If the strongest person was only the Daluo Immortal Peak, he would not even be able to compare with the four major sects of Qingweitian.
He asked again: "How is the Zhongtian Domain divided? Which sect is the strongest?"
Gongsun Hong was a little surprised: "Master, doesn't he know the division of strength in the Zhongtian Domain?"
Ye Bufan shook his head and didn't hide anything: "I'm from the Lower Heaven Territory, and I just came here not long ago."
Gongsun Hong's eyes were full of shock. He didn't mean anything else. He was just shocked that the master's alchemy skills were so high and he actually came from the Lower Heaven Realm. It was really unbelievable.
"Then, disciple, let me introduce you to Master."
He quickly calmed down and said, "The terrain of the Middle Heaven Territory and the Lower Heaven Territory are very different, and the overall shape is similar to a disk.
The position in the center has the richest spiritual energy and the most abundant cultivation resources. The farther to the edge, the weaker the spiritual energy becomes.
The part of the disk is occupied by our human race, and the outer parts are the Spirit Demon Mountains, the Sea of Death and the Hidden Immortal Valley."
Ye Bufan nodded slightly. He had to say that the examples given by Gongsun Hong were very vivid, allowing him to easily have a preliminary understanding of the terrain of Zhongtian Territory.
"What about the division of strength?"
Gongsun Hong said: "The powerful forces in Zhongtian Domain are three sects, five sects and seven major families.
The three sects are the strongest and are at the top of the entire heaven, and they also occupy the center area where the spiritual energy is the richest.
They are Tiandao Sect, Guiyuan Sect and Bixia Sect.
The five sects are the Sifang Sword Sect, the Five Elements Sword Sect, the Phantom Sword Sect, the Tyrant Sword Sect, and the Hehe Sword Sect.
The seven major families are the Chu family, the Han family, the Qi family, the Yan family, the Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Qin family.
There are thousands of forces in the Zhongtian Territory, of which the three sects, five sects and seven aristocratic families are the most powerful.
Each one has a strong person at the level of an Immortal, and each has its own fixed heavenly realm, as well as affiliated sects, almost occupying the best cultivation resources in the entire heavenly realm."
Ye Bufan said: "No matter how powerful these families are, they won't occupy the entire Zhongtian Territory, right?"
"That's not true."
Gongsun Hong said, "Let's take Yuanpan just now as an example. Three sects, five sects and seven aristocratic families occupy the most central position and also have the best resources.
Although the spiritual energy in the remaining peripheral locations is thinner and the cultivation resources are relatively less, the area is wider and is divided into seventy-two heavenly regions according to the seventy-two earth evil spirits."
Ye Bufan asked: "Which heaven are we in now?"
"Longtoushan, Gujiazhai and Luojiabao together are relatively small forces. Diletian is located in the southwest corner of the seventy-two heavens."
Ye Bufan said: "What about Lingyun Sword Sect? Which realm does it belong to?"
"They are also Lotte, but their strength is relatively strong."
Gongsun Hong said, "Zhongtian Domain will soon hold a Hundred Sects Competition. Di Letian will be assigned a participation token. Four sects are eligible to compete, and Lingyun Sword Sect is one of them."
Ye Bufan asked with great interest: "What is a hundred sects competing for hegemony?"
"Is such that……"
As an eighth-grade immortal alchemist, Gongsun Hong's understanding of the Zhongtian Domain is obviously better than Luo Bingyan's, so let's start with a detailed introduction.
It turns out that there is an ancient ruins in the Zhongtian Domain called the Yuangu Secret Realm.
This place has its own sealing power, which is opened once every hundred years. Only monks under a thousand years old can enter, and the number of places is limited. Only a hundred people can enter at a time.
Although the Primordial Secret Realm is at the junction of the three major sects' spheres of influence, it is not easy for them to claim it as their own.
There are countless treasures in ancient ruins like this, so other sects naturally want a piece of the pie.
After many discussions, the Hundred Sects Competition was finally decided, and one hundred outstanding disciples under a thousand years old were selected through an arena battle to enter the Primordial Secret Realm.
This kind of event has been rumored for tens of thousands of years, and this year happens to be the year when the secret realm opens, so the war is about to begin.
Ye Bufan heard this and asked: "Where did these hundred gates come from?"
Gongsun Hong said: "The three sects, five sects and seven aristocratic families add up to a total of fifteen families. Each family has an affiliated sect, which makes thirty families.
Together with the seventy-two heavenly realms, there are one hundred and two families in total.
However, the three sects, five sects and the seven major aristocratic families have a transcendent status and occupy a fixed quota. The same is true for their affiliated sects.
But the remaining seventy-two heavenly realms are different. The powerful sects will compete for this participation token.
Among them, four Tianyu sects are relatively small, so they were merged into two, resulting in a total of one hundred sects."
Gongsun Hong looked at Ye Bufan with emotion when he said this, "With Master's strength and age, he is fully qualified to participate in the Hundred Sects Competition.
It’s just that the Luo family is too weak and is not even qualified to compete for the token."
"This is nothing."
Ye Bufan waved his hand. He was just interested in learning more and had no intention of participating in this battle. After all, there were still many things to do.
He was more interested in the Jubao Pavilion auction and asked, "How far is the Jubao Pavilion branch store from here, and when is the best time for us to set off?"
Gongsun Hong said: "It's not very far, it can be reached in half a day."
"Well, we will wait here for Lingyun Sword Sect for three days, and we will set off in three days."
According to Ye Bufan's guess, Ling Jianyi suffered such a big loss, and Lingyun Sword Sect will definitely send experts here after returning.
What he didn't expect was that he had been waiting here for three full days, but there was no movement at all. He didn't see Lingyun Sword Sect or anyone from Longtou Mountain.
The auction is about to start, and Ye Bufan can't wait any longer.
He told Luo Bingyan and others to activate the protective formation, there was no need to go out, and he would resolve any issues when he came back, and then he led Gongsun Hong and the others towards the Jubao Pavilion.
