"Okay, I agree to join you!" Chen Feng nodded in agreement.
"That's great! With the help of fellow Taoist, our strength has increased a lot again!" The peak earth immortal laughed and said, "My name is Zhao Taihe. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"
"Feng Chen!" Chen Feng said lightly. He did not use his real name, but turned his name around and made up a pseudonym to use temporarily.
"It's Fellow Daoist Feng." Zhao Taihe laughed and was about to speak when he saw another fairy ship falling from the sky. His face was filled with joy and he hurriedly said to Chen Feng, "Fellow Daoist Feng, I'll go get a few more helpers. Fellow Daoist Ma will take you to our gathering place. In half a day, no matter how many people we gather, we will set out for the Demon Lord's Tomb."
Chen Feng nodded to show that he agreed.
At that moment, Fellow Daoist Ma took Chen Feng into the city, while Zhao Taihe rushed to the cultivator who had just landed and began to "win him over" again.
Although Fellow Daoist Ma was a late earthly immortal, he showed no arrogance towards Chen Feng, who was an early earthly immortal. He was also very talkative, and after a few words, Chen Feng understood that Fellow Daoist Ma was also one of the earthly immortals recruited by Zhao Taihe.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, although Songshan City is not big, it is a market town among the Ten Thousand Mountains. Whatever cultivators need can be found here. If Fellow Daoist Feng needs anything, I can take you around. Anyway, we still have half a day before we set off." Fellow Daoist Ma quickly became familiar with Chen Feng and said with a smile.
"That's fine." Chen Feng agreed readily: "We just need to prepare some pills, so let's go to the place where pills are sold."
As an alchemist, Chen Feng naturally had no shortage of elixirs. However, he wanted to see the alchemy level of Songshan City.
Soon, Chen Feng visited several medicine shops and got a basic understanding of the alchemy situation in Songshan City.
Generally speaking, Songshan City cannot be compared with Luoye City. The highest-ranking alchemist here is only a third-level alchemist, and there are very few alchemists at the two poles. Even a first-level alchemist is a popular figure.
From here, Chen Feng also understood that alchemists might not feel so noble in the sect, but in the real world of cultivation, the status of alchemists is infinitely magnified.
Chen Feng symbolically bought some energy-replenishing and restoring pills, and then came to the agreed gathering place with Fellow Daoist Ma.
It was a small tavern, and it was already crowded at this moment. When Chen Feng entered the tavern, he found that Zhao Taihe had returned. As soon as Chen Feng entered the door, he walked up to greet him.
It is obvious that Zhao Taihe is an extremely smooth person who is good at dealing with people, otherwise, it would not be his turn to win over the monks.
Chen Feng responded with a few words casually, and then he and Fellow Daoist Ma found a place to sit down.
The number of people in the tavern continued to increase, and soon reached hundreds.
As more people came, Chen Feng made a new discovery. He saw that the people in this small tavern seemed to be divided into several groups, sitting in several corners of the tavern, clearly separated and not interfering with each other.
"Is Fellow Daoist Feng surprised?" Fellow Daoist Ma said with a smile, "Nowadays, there are at least hundreds of small groups like ours in Songshan City."
"Oh?" Chen Feng raised his eyebrows. Hundreds of such small groups meant that there were at least tens of thousands of people waiting to enter the Demon Lord's Tomb.
"It's not surprising actually. The first group of people who entered the Demon Lord's Tomb were mostly Celestial Immortal disciples from various major forces. They were very powerful and confident. One person could even fight against several Celestial Immortals of similar strength."
"If we, the independent cultivators, don't unite, how can we compete with them for the opportunities in the Demon Lord's Tomb? Moreover, every step in the Demon Lord's Tomb is dangerous. If we don't unite and seek shelter under the wings of the powerful celestial immortals, we, the earthly immortal cultivators, may not even be able to drink soup."
Chen Feng listened, and secretly agreed with Fellow Daoist Ma's analysis. However, he also had some different opinions. The world of cultivation was cruel and ruthless, and the casual cultivators struggling at the bottom understood this cruelty even more thoroughly.
How could those powerful independent cultivators be willing to work for others for nothing if there is no benefit for them
Chen Feng guessed that a large portion of these earthly immortals who had been summoned would become cannon fodder for the celestial immortals to explore the way, and only a small group of people would be able to gain some benefits.
However, Chen Feng did not point out these thoughts. He even guessed that most of the casual cultivators present had probably already realized this situation, but they still came, which only showed that they still held on to the hope of becoming one of the small group of people who benefited.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly discovered that more than ten powerful auras were pouring in from outside the door.
Chen Feng understood that these auras were definitely emitted by the powerful celestial beings. Or perhaps, these powerful celestial beings were the conveners of these teams.
As expected, the next moment, more than ten figures walked in. Each of these people exuded a powerful pressure from a celestial being, which immediately silenced all the earthly immortals in the entire tavern.
The powerful celestial immortals are absolutely superior to the earthly immortals, and they cannot help but be in awe of them.
Soon, more than a dozen powerful celestial beings dispersed and scattered into a huge camp.
Three powerful celestial beings also came to Chen Feng's camp. On the other side, Zhao Taihe had already come forward and was nodding and speaking to the three powerful celestial beings.
Although Zhao Taihe spoke in a low voice, the cultivators present were all earthly immortals, so they could hear him clearly. Zhao Taihe was simply reporting the current personnel situation to the three heavenly immortals, and then solemnly assured that they were ready to set off.
The three powerful celestial beings had cold faces, and looked arrogant and pretentious. They only nodded slightly to Zhao Taihe's words, and then separated the crowd and walked out of the tavern. From beginning to end, these powerful celestial beings did not even look at the group of earthly beings below.
"What a big air!" Chen Feng was a little unhappy. These people gathered so many earthly immortals, but they didn't take them seriously at all, and didn't even look at them. This is too much airs.
"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoists. At this moment, everyone should quickly catch up with big brother Jiji Tianxian, so as not to keep you waiting for a long time." Zhao Taihe clasped his fists and mobilized the people below.
When everyone heard this, although they were angry, they had to follow quickly. After all, whether they could get any benefits in the Demon Lord's Tomb depended on the opinions of these powerful celestial beings.
All of a sudden, the monks in the tavern retreated like a tide. In a blink of an eye, the tavern that was originally bustling with people suddenly became empty. Even the owner and his waiters followed the large group to try their luck in the Demon Lord's Tomb.
