Panshi Cave Mansion.
Yu Weiye sat cross-legged on the futon and practiced meditatively.
Suddenly, his skin color flashed with a five-colored halo, changing irregularly between the five colors of red, yellow, blue, white, and black, and his breath was extremely unstable.
Sometimes violent, sometimes languishing.
His brows furrowed, his whole body was sweating, and he gritted his teeth to stabilize the mana of the riot in his body.
Finally, his persistence paid off.
With a muffled snort, he spat out a small mouthful of blood, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After a half-sound, someone outside the door reported: "Master, the matter has been done, the newcomer has already chosen twelve middle-grade spirit stones, and under my supervision, he moved out of the Shiquan Cave Mansion on the spot."
"Hmm." Yu Heye forced himself to cheer up and nodded slightly, "The Feiyun Conference is imminent, and a similar situation may occur. You are in charge of this matter, don't let unnecessary idle people rent caves here. I want to be quiet!"
"Understood, sir." There was the sound of the footsteps of the foundation building monk leaving outside the door.
Only then did Yu Heye exhale a breath of turbidity, and his whole body became sluggish.
He didn't care at all about who the newcomers he ordered to expel were.
Being able to rent a cave here means that he has no connections in the Vientiane Sect. And what strength can a small foundation-building boy have?
There are indeed many foundation-building geniuses who can cross borders to fight the Golden Pill. But can he meet this kind of genius?
This may be too low.
Besides, how could a genius monk bend his waist so easily, just for these twelve middle-grade spirit stones?
For the vast majority of monks, moving out of the cave can make a lot of money, so why not do it?
Yu Heye quickly put this trivial matter behind him.
Drunken Immortal Residence.
The top floor of the elegant room.
The round table made of thousand-year-old koi wood is light and can be seen, and it faintly exudes a quiet woody fragrance.
Shen Xi sat upright in the main position, his slender fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the warm jade cup. His cousin Su Lingkou looked out the window, her eyes were smart, and she was attracted by a large group of shuttle racing.
At this time, it was night, and these flying shuttles were carrying the soil, emitting colorful lights one by one, and rapidly bending between the peaks.
Extraordinary.
Opposite the two of them, there was a young monk.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe with gold thread trimmed. His face was well-defined and his eyes were peaceful and deep, like a valley with ancient trees.
His surname is Lin, and his name is Jinglong.
He glanced out the window and said with a smile: "I still remember Brother Situ's early years, and he also liked such competitions. Every time, his shuttle rushes to the front, like a meteor cutting through the night sky."
Shen Xi was also outlined with memories: "According to the time, Brother Situ is also almost here."
"When I was in the Nine Palaces Immortal City, I had already communicated with Brother Situ Dao and talked about joining forces. It coincides with your retreat and practice, so now, we can discuss it first."
Lin Jinglong nodded, and without waiting for Shen Xi to continue, he replied in advance: "This Feiyun Conference, the Fengyun Meeting, the monks of the entire Feiyun Kingdom, as long as they have the heart and strength, will gather and fight for the opportunity to join the Vientiane Sect in a high position."
"Although the three of us are talented and leaders of our generation, it may be risky to fight alone."
"Joining forces is inevitable!"
Shen Xi smiled, Lin Jinglong's response was not as he expected.
Su Lingkou withdrew his gaze and took the opportunity to compliment Lin Jinglong.
Lin Jinglong picked up the jade cup and took a sip of spiritual tea: "But if you want to achieve something, gather momentum first. I, you, and Situ Xing can be the core. On top of that, more arms are needed."
"After all, the tasks in the Feiyun Conference are all usually backlogged by the Vientiane Sect, which can be described as strange. uniting more talents makes it more likely to solve the most tasks as soon as possible."
"I went north this time, and there were 28 people with me, all of whom were reliable people. Among them, there are three in the late stage of foundation building, five in the middle stage, and eight in the early stage.
The rest are also the elite of qi refining."
Shen Xi leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Su Lingkou sitting next to him: "Lingkou is my closest relative and is willing to follow me. I didn't bring anyone else."
Lin Jinglong: "Every family has a difficult scripture. The Shen family really needs to sit in the Nine Palaces Immortal City with all its might."
Shen Xi gently tapped his fingertips on the smooth table: "However, I have paid attention to a talent. This person's name is Ning Zhuo."
At this moment, the door of the elegant room was silently pushed open, and a young man strode in with a sense of solitary demeanor.
His silver hair was like a waterfall, his dark blue robe was shining with stars, his nose was high, and his eyes were slender: "Brother Shen, Brother Lin, I've been waiting for a long time."
Shen Xi nodded, full of smiles: "Brother Situ is here."
After Situ Xing sat down: "I was outside the door just now, and I heard Brother Shen mention Ning Zhuo?"
"Ever since you sent me a letter, you were optimistic about this person and wanted to invite him to join us, so I sent someone to investigate him."
"Just this evening, he had just rented a cave house and was expelled."
"Oh?" Shen Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of Ran.
Situ Xing said: "Yu Heye, the Jindan monk of the Panshi Cave Mansion, began to form his team a few years ago in order to show his strength in this Feiyun Conference."
"He drove away many monks who rented caves near him, and Ning Zhuo is the most recent example."
"Yu Heye sent someone and gave Ning Zhuo ten middle-grade spirit stones, and he moved away obediently."
"How can such a mentality be on par with me?"
Lin Jinglong was silent and looked at Shen Xi.
Shen Xi frowned, this news was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Su Lingkou hurriedly shook the magic weapon bell and urged at the right time: "Store, serve the food."
Several attendants immediately rushed in, broke the awkward atmosphere, and brought out a series of delicacies.
There is a golden feather sparrow's tongue soup.
Inside the fine white porcelain cup, the soup was clear and golden, like melting sunlight, and the sparrow's tongue floating in it was as tender as jade.
There is an ice silver scale fish.
The alien spirit fish taken from the depths of the Wanzhang Cold Pool had bright silver scales all over its body, and was instantly locked in the most delicious moment by the best ice-type spells.
The fish body is lined with a hundred years of black ice, and the fish fat is as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, and it seems that there are ice crystals flowing in the texture of the fish meat in the cold air.
There is also Caiyun Lingbao Rice.
The spiritual rice itself is divided into three colors: red haze rice, black japonica rice, and biyunhe, each plump like a pearl. In the special spiritual cauldron, dozens of spiritual spring water are steamed with steam supplemented by high-quality spirit stones. The rice grains are distinctly colored, and the aura nitrogen box is like a real colored mist surrounding it.
Lin Jinglong savored the colorful cloud spiritual treasure rice. The torrent of spiritual power brought by spiritual food was gentle and huge, and it was continuous. After half a sound, he said with sincere emotion: "It is indeed a drunken immortal residence. This level of spiritual food cannot afford to be offered by a top bulk."
Su Lingkou was full of praise for the golden feather sparrow's tongue soup: "It melts in your mouth, your thoughts turn into birds, your consciousness is like electricity, it's wonderful."
Situ Xing eats the most ice fish fillets. As long as each piece of fish meat is put in your mouth, the ultimate sweetness and coldness will instantly explode on the tip of your tongue.
While bringing diners a cool and exciting taste experience, it will also enhance the soul heritage.
"Ice silverfish, cold but not hurt. This plate of spiritual food has fully increased my soul for fifteen years!"
Situ Xing looked at Shen Xi: "This time, Brother Shen, you have spent a lot of money, haha."
Shen Xi smiled, first said a few polite words, and then reminded Ning Zhuo, saying: He is more optimistic about this person, and he is afraid that there is a hidden secret in him.
Situ Xing sneered: "Brother Shen, you know my temperament. I, Situ Xing, am the most stupid and look down on the weak who have no self-knowledge."
"I am seven years old to draw qi, and the stars are surging between breathing, and at the age of nine, I broke the three layers of qi training, one by one, and at that time, the mediocre talent was still identifying the meridians."
"It only took 140 days to practice the top technique "Divine Sea Star Sword Introduction I" to forge the foundation of the Tao.
"I watch the stars at night and refine my essence during the day, and when I reach the age of sixteen, my spirit blends, and the treasure medicine in the middle dantian grows like a galaxy!"
"At the age of twenty-one, the vulgar divine sea gave birth to the divine will to attract star talismans. Now twenty-eight years old, it has become a void pill."
Situ Xing swept over Su Lingkou, and his eyes paused on the faces of Shen Xi and Lin Jinglong: "Only the strong are worthy of standing side by side with me! Only the elite are worthy of walking with me. Some miscellaneous fish that are not up to par and can't be on the table should not come to cling to them at will, which will make me disgusted."
Shen Xi was silent, and the atmosphere was awkward again.
This time, Su Lingkou also felt Situ Xing's contempt and couldn't help but be a little angry.
Seeing this, Lin Jinglong smiled bitterly and took the initiative to interject: "What Brother Situ said is not bad, Ning Zhuo gave in, and he is indeed weak. However, Yu Heye is an extraordinary golden elixir."
"This person has a late stage of Jindan cultivation, majoring in "Reverse Five Elements Demon Skills", and has outstanding combat power. There was a time when it was recognized as the most promising cultivation to obtain the true identity of the sect."
"Now, his lifespan is coming to an end, and he has long been accumulating strength, waiting for this Feiyun Conference to fight for the last opportunity in his life."
"Ning Zhuo is not building a foundation, facing such an old monster, and the other party is overpowering people and spirit stones to open the way, not a life-and-death struggle, choosing to temporarily avoid the edge... - it is also reasonable."
Situ Xing snorted coldly: "What about the golden elixir? What about "Reverse Five Elements Magic Skill"? If he dares to occupy it, I will dare to draw my sword!" Even if you are defeated, you must try the quality of this Jindan monk! Let him know that foundation building monks are not at the mercy of others!"
"I don't even have this bit of courage and blood, how can I compete in a Shura field like the Feiyun Conference? How can you be worthy of looking at Brother Shen differently, and how can you be worthy of being an accomplice like me?"
Shen Xi shook his head: "Brother Situ is as arrogant as ever, sharp and strong. But with all due respect, how many people can face the late stage of Jindan head-on in the realm of foundation building?"
"Those who can do this, like you and me, which one is not favored by heaven and earth, one in ten thousand?"
Lin Jinglong nodded: "The Nine Palaces Immortal City is one of the top five cities in the Feiyun Kingdom, but in the past sixty years, there has been a genius like Shen Xi Brother Tai, who can fight the golden pill head-on during the foundation building period."
"I am waiting for this kind of soil repair, which is indeed rare."
Situ Xing snorted coldly and stopped refuting: "It's up to you. But if it is the candidate I like, there will be no such cowardly act!"
"Also."
"I waited for the three of us to join forces, but we also scored in order and in order."
"In my opinion, after this meal, let's go to the martial arts hall at night and have a good competition!"
Shen Xi and Lin Jinglong's attention was immediately attracted.
The two of them have long had the fighting spirit in their hearts.
The three of them competed until the early morning of the next day.
At the time of parting, Lin Jinglong took care of him: "According to the rules of the Vientiane Sect, the three of us joined forces, in addition to recruiting troops and horses, we also erected a mountain to encompass all the caves on this mountain."
"Only by showing such strength can others have the idea of joining."
"That's what Yu Heye did."
Situ Xing nodded: "I'll go find the mountain and send a message in time."
He won the first place in the competition, full of high spirits, his sword light was like starlight, piercing the sky, and he left in an instant.
Lin Jinglong and Shen Xi said goodbye.
Su Ling took his cousin's arm and said with some indignation: "Obviously, it was you who gave in, cousin, but Situ Xing really thought he won the first place? Hmph!"
Shen Xi shook his head: "His frontal combat power is indeed outstanding. If I want to fully demonstrate my strength, I have to set up in advance."
"Losing to him is also my plan."
"I was about to borrow his sword to overcome obstacles and ride the wind and waves."
"Not only me, but Lin Jinglong also had such a plan. I can also feel it, and he also stayed."
Su Lingkou's eyes suddenly lit up slightly: "So, cousin, you and Lin Jinglong are tied, is it also intentional?"
Shen Xi frowned slightly, sighed, and admitted: "Neither of us wants the position of leader, but we are both interested in the second place.
"After the competition, we all found that we had to come up with more hole cards to make it possible to win. But in this way, it is too much."
"So, Brother Lin and I coincidentally stopped at the same time."
At this time, a flying letter floated in and fell into Shen Xi's hands.
Shen Xi opened the letter and smiled slightly, and then handed it to Su Lingkou again: "Let's go, let's meet Daoist Ning Zhuo."
Su Ling saw the information in the letter, only talked about Ning Zhuo's current location, and asked puzzledly: "Cousin, why do you want to see this outsider? Situ Xing has made it clear that he is dissatisfied with Ning Zhuo, why should we harm our relationship with Situ Xing in order to recruit an outsider?"
"After all, he is now our leader."
Shen Xi: "I don't think Ning Zhuo is a person who retreats easily."
"And do you think that Situ Xing belittled Ning Zhuo as soon as they met, but he hated Ning Zhuo's retreat?"
Su Lingkou: "Huh?"
Shen Xi's eyes were faint: "He used the way of beating Ning Zhuo to suppress my prestige. After all, in the last confrontation, he didn't break through my siege at the agreed time."
"If I give up Ning Zhuo easily now, this is likely to become a reason for him to suppress me in this temporary alliance in the future."
Su Lingkou snorted again, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Then what should we do?"
Shen Xi showed a smile: "Let's go, maybe we can give our friends a little help."
Su Lingkou had already understood the current situation after Shen Xi's dial.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The alliance between friends must also be high and low. Moreover, the relationship between Shen, Lin, and Situ is based on competition and supplemented by friendship.
Ning Zhuo has become a key point in the power game between Situ Xing and Shen Xi.
Su Lingkou said worriedly: "Alas, I hope Ning Zhuo can stand up."
