There are six cities in the human holy land, namely Tianfu City, Tianliang City, Tianji City, Tiantong City, Tianxiang City and Qisha City.
Although there seem to be few cities in number, each city actually covers a huge area and has multiple teleportation arrays distributed on the north and south sides of the Kunlun Mountains for envoys from various countries to enter and exit.
Just talking about the present, the event held once every ten years is mainly held in Tianxiang City and Qisha City. The young talents are distributed in the four major areas of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of Tianxiang City, and they will enter Qisha City on the day of the competition.
Tianfu City and Tianliang City are important administrative centers, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. It is impossible for the students to visit the place where the peak of human power is gathered.
The map in Lu Bei's hand only marked Tianxiang City, ignoring the forbidden areas and blind spots. There were not many movable areas shown, just a few long streets, several teleportation arrays, and a friendly exchange area with bold words.
That is the arena.
The official competition will start on December 1st, which is four days away.
During this period, the contestants can collect intelligence in the friendly exchange area. There are many ways to collect intelligence. As long as no one is killed, the Holy Land will not interfere with what means the contestants use.
“There is actually such a saying.”
After listening to Zhu Xiushi's story, Lu Bei raised his hand and touched his chin, his eyes sparkling, "I understand. As the designated champion, this sect master is very likely to be seduced by female monks from other countries. It is possible that I will lose my virginity eight times in one night. I must protect myself well and never let them take advantage of me."
Having said that, Yan Suan Lian nodded in affirmation, it was indeed an upper-class society where elites gathered, much more vulgar than the poor and remote Wu Zhou.
"… "
Zhu Qilan looked aside speechlessly, while Zhu Xiushi nodded repeatedly: "The human race's holy land is full of dangers. Sect Master Lu is in a very dangerous situation now. Come back with me quickly. There are too many princesses here. You can't control them."
"Even if you can't grasp it, you have to grasp it. Since I'm here, there's no reason for me to escape from the battlefield."
Lu Bei raised his white towel and coughed twice, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Xiushi: "My cousin and I went out shopping, why did you follow us, teacher? Can you afford to delay the child's birthday?"
Of course I can't afford it.
Zhu Xiushi glared at Lu Bei. If possible, she really didn't want to see the two of them being so affectionate, but considering Lu Bei's tendency to stir up trouble for no reason, she had to follow him. Once something went wrong, she would directly use the sealing technique.
The holy land of the human race is not Wu Zhou. If someone dies, we can’t afford the compensation even if we sell it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiushi felt lucky. Just now, Lu Bei went to visit Xiong Chu's yard next door, but no one responded when he knocked on the door, and no one climbed over the wall. It was obvious that Xiong Chu's students, led by their instructors, went to the ring to collect intelligence.
envious.
She also wanted to be a dedicated and responsible mentor, but she had a student who was eager to cause trouble. In order to avoid trouble, she had to keep an eye on him and even sacrifice her looks when necessary.
It’s really unique that a mentor is so humble.
Zhu Xiushi sighed repeatedly and reminded Lu Bei of the rules of the Holy Land, telling him not to trespass into portals and restricted areas, and strictly prohibiting flying and private fighting. He gave a long and earnest advice, hoping that Lu Bei would listen.
Even just one sentence.
Lu Bei curled his lips in disdain. It seemed that Zhu Xiushi had some misunderstanding about him. He was just like Xun Yu, who had been practicing and practicing cautiously and never caused any trouble.
Even if there is, it is only under the premise that the benefits are sufficient.
He understands the principle and won't act recklessly.
The three of them walked to the trading area. The streets were square and the roads were straight. Every shop was a specialty store for each country in the human race. They had everything from natural treasures, elixirs, finished or semi-finished products, and even secret manuals on martial arts.
The price is right and the magic weapon can be negotiated.
Zhu Xiushi touched the jade slip, looking for a duty-free shop where Wu Zhou could earn foreign exchange. He passed by a legal competition betting site that was exclusively run by the Holy Land. He looked in for a few seconds and finally shook his head.
"Why, didn't you say you wanted to make a fortune?" Lu Bei asked curiously.
"The prerequisite for making a big profit is that you participate in the competition. Now that it's already been decided, I'm betting on second place. Isn't the risk huge?" Zhu Xiushi spread her hands. She was also desperate after missing out on the opportunity to become rich enough to rival a country.
"You can try betting on my cousin. I think she will win second place." Lu Bei hugged Zhu Qilan beside him and was full of confidence in him.
Zhu Qilan: “…”
When three people are together, there must be one redundant person, and she feels like she is the redundant one.
Zhu Xiushi looked at Zhu Qilan, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up.
The risk was too great, so she decided to wait and see. Lu Bei would definitely go to the ring area and have a fierce fight with the elites from other countries. She would take the opportunity to collect intelligence. If anyone could survive a punch from Lu Bei, she would bet her entire fortune on that person.
It was impossible for them to end up in a tie. It was not that she looked down on young people in their eighties or nineties, but Lu Bei's performance was too dazzling, far ahead of his peers. She did not take these young people seriously at all.
"By the way, will the shops in Wu Zhou take care of their own people?"
"Of course. All the Zhu family members who participate in this competition will get all the items they need for the competition for free... minus the decimals." Zhu Xiushi changed his words at the last minute, fearing that Lu Bei would empty out the store on the spot if he said the word "free".
He can really do it.
"He's stingy and not straightforward at all."
Lu Bei curled his lips in disdain. He didn't say anything before when he was on guard against villains. Later, he even had to be on guard against gentlemen, but he still didn't say anything. Now, even his own people have started to be on guard against them.
The closer you get to the center of the trading area, the more men and women you see on the street. Their cultivation levels range from the Nascent Soul stage to the Fusion stage. Some come in groups, while others are alone. They are all contestants who come to purchase resources for cultivation.
Lu Bei looked around, ignoring the men but examining the women carefully, and was impressed by their high quality. There were many female Bodhisattvas that pleased him.
Feeling a pain in his waist, Lu Bei raised a white towel to cover his mouth, coughing while retracting his critical gaze.
Suddenly he felt something was wrong and sent a speechless message to Zhu Xiu Shi.
"Why are you pinching me?"
"Don't look around. Our Wu Zhou princess is much better than those outside."
"That being said, it's not your turn to say this."
"… "
Zhu Qilan turned her head and looked to the side. Several times, she couldn't help but suspect that Zhu Xiushi came with a mission.
She understands the principle, but isn’t the way she eats too ugly
…
The three of them walked for a while and arrived at Wu Zhou's shop.
At first glance, the store's decoration is ordinary, without much highlights to speak of. But once you enter, you will be suddenly enlightened and discover a world of its own.
Clouds gathered in the hazy sky, spiritual energy turned into rain, and the mist spread out from the body. There was also a gravel path paved in the bamboo forest, which was quiet and elegant. A lot of effort had been put into the layout.
The interior decoration is very much in the style of the immortal world, but in Lu Bei's eyes it is very ordinary. Selling things is not a teahouse, and such a layout cannot arouse the buying desire of the cultivators. It would be better to hang a banner at the door saying 50% off for all items. If the points card reaches 10,000, you can enjoy a small gift painted by the Emperor of Wu Zhou himself.
The stone path led to several directions. Lu Bei looked at the medicine and refining areas, pondered for a moment, and chose the martial arts secret manual area.
If possible, he would like to choose a technique that increases endurance during this trip to the human holy land.
Start with Wu Zhou’s shops, go for free along the way, and visit all the duty-free shops.
Zhu Xiushi hurried to the medicine area. In case something unexpected happened at the conference, she had to make full preparations for the students. Before leaving, she sent a message to Zhu Qilan, asking him to keep a good eye on Lu Bei and not to cause trouble in his own shop.
Zhu Qilan did not respond, but nodded, and followed suit, using the sealing technique to tie up Lu Bei.
Her sealing technique was not as good as that of her senior, but it was enough to control Lu Bei. The two of them walked slowly in the bamboo forest in the rain, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.
Soon, this warmth was broken.
Lu Bei looked at the bookstore in confusion. There were not many books, but there were quite a few people choosing books. There were dozens of men and women, all of them handsome men and beautiful women.
"It's strange that our Wu Zhou store business is so good?"
Lu Bei transmitted his voice in confusion. If he remembered correctly, Zhu Xiushi had just said that Wu Zhou was not as good as the best but better than the worst. It had a vast territory and abundant resources but not many popular commodities. The profit was not even as good as Xuanlong's demon blood wine.
Zhu Qilan shook his head and said he didn't know. After pondering for a moment, he gave a reasonable explanation based on the national conditions of Wu Zhou.
In fact, Wu Zhou's shop business had always been good, but the account books were tampered with by Huangji Zong, and the bulk of the profits were taken away.
The leader of the Huangji Sect exposed himself, and the purple guards of the Xuanyin Division were very angry. They wanted to trace the accounts on the spot and take advantage of the situation to get a share for themselves.
Sealing technique.
The demon couldn't move.
On the third floor of the martial arts area, two female practitioners in the fusion stage stood by the window, looking at the bamboo forest filled with drizzle and spiritual energy, and started chatting casually.
"Junior Sister Shao, you have heard that the first place in this conference has already been decided. You and I can only compete for second place in the last ten years."
"Where did Senior Sister Chang get this gossip from? I have never heard of it."
"Oh, then why did Junior Sister Shao come to Wu Zhou's territory? Don't you have anywhere else to go?"
“Just passing by.”
The two women are named Shao Han and Chang Qingyu. They come from a great human race country. They have reached the great perfection of the fusion stage and are on the same level as Zhu Dao of Wu Zhou. They are strong contenders for the top ten.
Two days ago, Qin Ziyou brought the news about Lu Bei back to the Holy Land and interviewed two inner sect elders. They decided that Lu Bei would be the top candidate, but they had different opinions on announcing it in advance.
Too arrogant, not in line with the Holy Land's moderate style.
Ordinary countries could not get any information about what the elders were discussing, but it was different for the human race, which easily got the information about the top spot.
Wu Zhou Lu Bei, the inheritor of the immortal sword intent, is very likely the second one to abandon the sutra.
This is a very high evaluation, but it is particularly glaring to other geniuses.
It is impossible to admit defeat. Everyone has a bit of pride. Those who dare to compete for the first place come to scout the place in advance, wanting to get a sneak peek and see what kind of demeanor the second Immortal Sword Master has that can make the elders of the Holy Land make an exception.
Although I don’t have the talent for writing poetry, it’s possible to collect folk songs.
"Junior Sister Shao, I heard that the man was in his early twenties and had practiced for less than ten years. He once killed two demon kings on the northern frontier. I don't know if it's true or not." Chang Qingyu continued.
"Xuan Long's news should not be false, but the news I got is a little different from what Senior Sister said."
"What do you mean?"
"That man's name is Lu Bei. When the Demon King was killed, the Emperor Xuanlong was present. It was not his alone who was responsible." Shao Han explained the situation.
"That makes sense."
Chang Qingyu nodded and was about to say something else when he was interrupted.
"Senior Sister Chang, you may not know that I have also found out some information about Wu Zhou Lu Bei."
Lu Bei came behind the two of them and nodded to Chang Qingyu as if they were acquaintances. Then he looked at Shao Han with admiration in his eyes, "Sister Shao, your information is correct, but there are some shortcomings in the details. I have a special source of information and know a thing or two about Wu Zhou Lu Bei. I am willing to help you two sisters resolve your doubts."
Who are you? x2
Shao Han saw that Lu Bei and Chang Qingyu were familiar with each other and thought that they were cultivators from the same country. Chang Qingyu saw that Lu Bei admired Shao Han and thought he was a pursuer. Although the two were quite dissatisfied with Lu Bei's sudden intrusion without warning, they didn't say anything for the sake of each other's face.
"In fact, according to the information in my hands, Wu Zhou Lu Bei is not as powerful as the rumors say. Although he has practiced the Immortal Sword Intent, his swordsmanship is extremely poor..."
"He is erratic and violent, and he loves to show off. He values fame and status very much. He is also addicted to beauty, prostitution, gambling and drugs. After he succeeded in his practice, he became extremely extravagant, spending his days in wine and women. According to the information I got from the Wu Zhou Huangji Sect, he has a very bad reputation in Wu Zhou, and everyone wants to kill him."
"It can be said that, apart from his handsome appearance, the rest of him is more or less exaggerated. He is an opportunist who seeks fame and reputation. He is not worthy of the top spot in this conference."
Zhu Qilan: “…”
If you don't understand, just ask, now people use self-deprecating methods to hook up with beautiful women
