After several days of practice, Baili Ming became basically proficient in the coordination of the five-person formation. At the same time, he also found a combined attack technique from the Sutra Pavilion - "Five Qi Lightning Strike Technique".
The magic power of the five people merged and they launched a thunderous strike, which was as powerful as a strike in the early stages of the humility realm. If they encountered an opponent like Gongya who was in the pseudo-humility realm again, they would definitely be killed in one blow.
After a day of repairs, the five of them boarded the building boat bound for Tianquan Palace and rushed towards their destination with great hope.
Although it was not the first time to soar high in the sky on a high-rise boat, Baili Ming and the others were still curious. The five people on the deck looked up at the undulating sea of clouds and the bright red sun, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
Suddenly, General Zhou pointed downward and said in surprise: "Look below, there is a big river."
Everyone leaned over and looked, only to see a rippling blue river like a yellow ribbon, winding around the mountains.
"This is the Tongtian River. Last time I went to Xijing, it was this river I saw on the way." Bai Liming thought about the records in the Taoist canon and said with certainty.
Zhou Jiang cleared his throat, glanced at Lu Xiaoyao who was looking down, and said loudly: "This river is so majestic, let's use an analogy... Ahem, there is no analogy, but there is a poem praising that the mountains follow the plains and the river ends.
Entering the wild stream. Under the moon, the flying mirror, the clouds and sea towers. Still pity..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Zuo Sisi grinned, as if he was angry because of a toothache, and said teasingly: "Zhou's great talent should not be so popular in poetry here. He doesn't even know the source of the poems. He is still pretending to be academic and making people laugh.
.”
"Isn't this poem about big rivers?" Zhou Jiang retorted. Zuo Sisi pretended to be profound and mocked:
"This poem does not describe the Tongtian River, but the Canglan River. The great talent of Zhou Dynasty, don't be far-fetched and pretend to understand."
Zhou Jiang's face turned red and white, and he smiled: "The artistic conception is similar, of course it can be quoted, why not?"
Bai Liming had long seen what the two were thinking about Lu Xiaoyao, and was worried that the two would not be jealous and ruin the friendship between them, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, you two should say less, people."
They’re all gone, so why fight?”
"Ah, why did Xiaoyao leave?" Lu Xiaoyao and Yuan Chaoxi said in annoyance as they saw their leaving figures.
Yuan Chaoxi suddenly turned around and said disdainfully: "You two should save your time. Who wants to listen to two toads chattering there when we bicker all day long?"
Lu Xiaoyao covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words. For a moment, the river meandered and the clouds swayed, losing all color.
Two days later, a huge valley surrounded by mountains appeared in front of the building. The red sun was rising, and the peaks were dark blue. Then mist appeared, and milky white gauze separated the mountains, leaving only cyan.
The peak is really like a landscape painting with clear and dense brushwork.
In the middle of the valley is a mountain peak hundreds of feet high. The solitary peak stands tall and steep. Under the pale sky, the peak is as black as iron and solemn.
This solitary peak is where Tianquan Palace is located. Shanzhiyang is a prosperous market town with rows of houses dotted around it, comparable to a small town.
This small town is Tianquanfang City. Because Tianquan Palace is located in the center of the Seventh Palace of Daomen, it has formed a commercial center where merchants gather.
The place is bustling with people, including casual cultivators from all over the country, barbarians from all directions, and demons in disguise.
The reason why the demon clan is allowed here is because the Taoist clan wants to meet its own needs. After all, the demon clan also possesses many treasures of heaven and earth that are not possessed by the Middle Earth.
However, in order to prevent the demon clan from causing trouble to the Central-Earth, every time they enter the Middle-earth, they only allow the demon clan that reaches the True Realm and below, that is, the demon clan with a body of twenty feet or less to enter. They must also carefully check whether they are hermit demons.
Handle identity guidance.
Moreover, it can only be entered from the four borders by taking the high-rise boat arranged by Dao Sect. There are many Supreme Realm mages guarding the boat.
Tianquanfang City is different from ordinary market towns. Most secular market towns sell shops that are needed for daily life, while Tianquanfang City exists entirely for the needs of spiritual practice.
In addition to inns and restaurants, the main street in the town is mostly filled with various shops that purchase and sell precious spiritual materials, monster materials, elixirs, talismans, magical tools, and even spiritual weapons.
The largest among them is the Taiyi Treasure Pavilion opened by Dao Sect, which has a dazzling array of spiritual materials, magic weapons, and elixirs. The auction house also holds regular bidding events.
Taiyi Bao Pavilion stands in the center of the square, and on the periphery are various merchants' associations, shops opened by barbarians, and even monsters. In the more peripheral areas, there are casual cultivators setting up stalls and lone barbarians, monsters, and even secular people.
People also come to sell.
After Bailiming and the other five arrived at Tianquanfang City, they did not rush to purchase. Instead, they strolled around to understand the situation of the market. As they walked, they saw the Baibaofang opened by Tongfu Chamber of Commerce.
After Bai Liming learned that Baibaofang was opened by Tongfu Chamber of Commerce, he felt that its strength was indeed profound.
The incident of human beings turned into monsters that they uncovered in Qianshan County did not have much impact on them. Except for the Qianshan County branch that was punished, the branches of chambers of commerce in other regions were not damaged at all.
As if he could see what Bai Liming was thinking, Yuan Chaoxi said in a low voice: "You don't have to sigh, the forces behind the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce are complicated and involve deep relationships within the Taoist sect, so the people above don't want to cause too much trouble.
If it is large, it will affect the business of the chamber of commerce and cause losses to its own interests, so there is nothing that cannot be retreated from in the face of interests."
Bai Liming sighed: "I also understand this truth, but I always feel unhappy in my heart because my own strength is not enough. When your strength can crush everything, everything is trivial."
Yuan Chaoxi chuckled and said: "One day, you will become the greatest benefit. So what if you sacrifice the entire Tongfu Chamber of Commerce? Everything is still the same. There is no selflessness in interests. You only make choices based on size."
Bai Liming was startled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Although it sounds reasonable, I still believe that not everyone is a profit-seeking person, and the word friendship is more important."
Yuan Chaoxi nodded and said with a smile: "Despite your usual scheming appearance, I didn't expect that you pay so much attention to friendship. It really impressed me."
Bailiming clasped his fists in embarrassment: "Chengyi, Chengyi."
The five of them walked around the market for a while without buying anything. After all, they had just arrived here, so it was better to get familiar with the situation first.
Because it was already close to noon when they arrived, Baili Ming and the others found a restaurant and left, saying euphemistically: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first!"
At this time, on the third floor of Baibaofang, behind a slightly opened window, a mature woman in her thirties was standing, with a curvy figure and a hint of coquettishness in her eyebrows.
If Bailiming and others saw him, they would definitely recognize him at a glance. It was Gong Mi, the former helmsman of Qianshan County Branch of Tongfu Chamber of Commerce.
Gong Mi's eyes were filled with a cold light at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet each other. Let's see where you guys run away this time!"
A gloomy voice came from behind: "Gong Mi, don't worry about your personal grudges for now. What the Holy Envoy told you is the most important. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to live with it."
Gong Mi snorted coldly: "Cui Guang, don't scare me here. Of course I know that the Holy Envoy's matter is important, but these little brats caused my sub-rudder to be destroyed last time, and also lost the important Holy Wood. Let the Holy Envoy
I will be punished, and I will not do anything to others if I do not avenge this."
Cui Guang still said in a deep voice: "Gong Mi, it's better to put important things first!"
Gong Mi became a little angry and said coldly: "Cui Guang, I'm just here to help, not your subordinate. I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
"Hmph, then you can take care of yourself." After saying that, the owner of the sinister voice turned and went downstairs.
Gong Mi looked at Cui Guang's back and snorted coldly, and then thought about it in his mind:
"I have to take back the sacred tree, so I can make amends for my fault, and give those little brats a taste of their pain along the way, huh."
