"Hehe! As the saying goes, men and women working together makes the work less tiring. Tracking the whereabouts of the gods this time is extremely dangerous. In order to exert the greatest combat power, I naturally have to work with Qingxue." Li Wuotan smiled and moved closer to Fang Qingxue. If it weren't for the "crackling" lightning protection on this woman's body, he almost snuggled up to her.
"You are surrounded by countless beauties on Red Dust Peak, yet you are still indulging in desires?" Facing a scoundrel like Li Wuotian, Fang Qingxue was at a loss.
"That's different! Tempering the heart in the mortal world is also the way!" Li Wutan's expression became serious, and he said: "But Qingxue is different from other women. You are a darling of heaven with a bright future, and I am naturally not bad either. You and I will form a true Taoist couple, relying on each other in life and death, supporting each other and climbing to the top of the immortal way together, only then can we hope to gain eternal life!"
"For those of us who practice Taoism, 'Dharma, wealth, companion and land' are all indispensable. You are the Taoist companion that I am wholeheartedly pursuing." Li Wuotan said finally.
"Then if you work harder, maybe I will give you a chance." Fang Qingxue said calmly with a normal expression.
"Since Qingxue said so, I will naturally work hard to let you see what kind of person I am!" Li Wuotian let out a long sigh. As long as it was not the same attitude that Fang Qingxue had towards Ying Tianqing, as long as there was a chance, he would not be afraid of not being able to win!
Along the way, Li Wuotian took advantage of the rare opportunity to be alone to exchange several Taoist techniques with Fang Qingxue and talk about each other's cultivation experiences. To deal with a woman like Fang Qingxue, Li Wuotian naturally understood that love and affection were useless and he had to please her!
The practicing otaku girl likes to practice, so in this case, let's talk more about cultivation along the way. Li Wuotian's move was indeed effective. After exchanging ideas with each other, both sides made great progress. This was what Li Wuotian wanted to tell Fang Qingxue about the benefits of having a Taoist partner.
Half a month later, the two finally arrived at the core of the Great Xuan Empire, "Xuanhuang City"!
This is the largest city in the world!
The "Taibai City" I visited last time was just one of the thousands of large cities in the Great Xuan Empire. Although it was prosperous, it could not be compared with the "Xuanhuang City".
Rumor has it that "Xuanhuang City" is a palace in heaven, prosperous beyond imagination. All the treasures in the world can be bought here, and all the secrets in the world can be learned here.
"Xuanhuang City" is not only the core of the Taixuan Empire, but also the center of the Xuanhuang World.
As they flew, Li Wutian and Fang Qingxue marveled at the might of the Great Xuan Empire. Countless bright yellow mountains rose up, reaching hundreds of feet high. A closer look revealed that they were actually castles. Between the castles were walls that looked like yellow dragons. All kinds of cultivators, some using their escaping lights, some using their flying swords, and some using their own magical powers, were constantly falling into the city.
Looking from afar, it actually feels like the residence of gods in heaven.
This is the core area of the "Taiyi Sect". No matter how brave Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue are, they dare not swagger into the "Xuanhuang City". The two of them used their magical powers and disguised themselves before they fell into the "Xuanhuang City". Moreover, the "Yanyun Fairy Tower" was always running to protect them. Outsiders who wanted to use their magical powers to investigate their backgrounds would only "see" all kinds of illusory information.
This Xuanhuang City was many times larger than "Taibai City". The bricks and stones on the road were all shining with gold and spotless. Everywhere was magnificent, with palaces and pavilions, as if the palaces of thousands of empires in the secular world had been moved to this big city.
In this "Xuanhuang City", every house is taller, wider and deeper than the imperial palace of any country.
It actually made people like Li Wutan and Fang Qingxue feel overwhelmed.
"Qingxue, this place is simply a divine kingdom on earth. If you don't come here in person, you can't imagine that there is such a prosperous city on earth." Like the others, the two blended into the rolling crowd, and Li Wuotian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Indeed, this place is ten thousand times more powerful than the capital of the Dali Dynasty. Any random house here is richer than the entire Dali Dynasty." Fang Qingxue came from a wealthy family, but was still stunned by the prosperity of "Xuanhuang City", the number one city in the world.
This divine kingdom on earth covers an area of tens of thousands of miles. Ordinary mortals living in this huge city have not even visited the entire city.
Li Wutian and Fang Qingxue asked around and learned more about "Xuanhuang City". They knew several well-known chambers of commerce. They flew eastward from "Xuanhuang City" for more than a thousand miles and saw nine palaces that looked like large tripods. They were all made of metal. The strong Gengjin aura rushed straight into the sky. A large number of cultivators came in and out. They were actually some small giants at the Jindan level! There were even more powerful auras.
"'Jiudingxuan'! One of the three major chambers of commerce. Shall we go in and take a look?" Li Wuotan brought Fang Qingxue to the front of "Jiudingxuan" and walked in.
"Please come in, fairy! Today is the day of the annual auction. I wonder if you would like to choose a VIP room?" Seeing Fang Qingxue and Li Wuotan coming in, a "True Yuan Realm" waiter at the door hurried forward to warmly invite Fang Qingxue. As for Li Wuotan?
They didn't even glance at him. People with cultivation level below the "Golden Core Realm" had no face at all in "Jiudingxuan". They were just ordinary customers.
"This is my companion. It's still early for the auction, so let's walk around first." Fang Qingxue smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. Looking at Li Wuotian's helpless face, she suddenly found it very interesting.
This madman from the "Yuhua Sect" has invincible magical powers. Even masters at the "Dharma Appearance of Heaven and Earth" realm are no match for him. Unexpectedly, he was ignored by a mere "Zhenyuan Realm" cultivator in the "Jiudingxuan" today. If this were to be reported back to the sect, there would surely be an uproar.
"Ah! Sir, please come in! I'll take you around for a while." The waiter pretended that he had just seen it and made a gesture of invitation to Li Wuotian in a neither positive nor negative way.
If someone had dared to treat him like this in the past, Li Wuotan would have found a way to kill him. However, as his realm improved, his mentality became much calmer, and he was too disdainful to argue with such a small person.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two walked into the main hall of "Jiudingxuan" and found that the space inside was very vast, like another world. It turned out that there was a person with great magical powers who expanded the space a lot. There were a wide variety of elixirs and magic weapons hanging everywhere, and thousands of monks were wandering around, watching and talking with the waiter about transactions.
Suddenly, Li Wutan discovered that in the depths of the "Jiudingxuan" hall, a group of cultivators exuded a powerful aura.
This sight surprised him. It turned out to be Wang Tianyi, Zhu Yangyi and others from the "Taiyi Sect". There were more than a dozen Jindan masters surrounding a man. That man was wearing a long green robe. It was Hua Tiandu!
Li Wutian had never thought that he would actually meet Hua Tiandu here! Moreover, he was surrounded by the small golden elixir giants of the "Taiyi Sect" like the moon surrounded by stars.
"Let's be careful and stay away from them." Fang Qingxue's voice came in his mind. Li Wuotian nodded. It seemed that this young lady also knew how to avoid the enemy's sharp edge.
This place is different from other places in the Xuanhuang World. Being in the core area of the "Taiyi Sect", if Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue are discovered by the people of the "Taiyi Sect", they will definitely be surrounded and killed. Even Hua Tiandu may take action personally and kill them both!
The current situation is completely different from that of last year at the "Taiyuan Immortal Mansion". At that time, Hua Tian did not take Li Wuotan and others seriously, and still maintained the demeanor of the eldest senior brother of the "Yuhua Sect". But now, Hua Tian's faction and the "New Party" faction are at loggerheads. If there is a chance to eliminate the second and third figures of the "New Party", Hua Tian will definitely not show any sympathy for his fellow disciples!
The hall of "Jiudingxuan" is equivalent to a cave world. It is extremely vast, no less than a city. Many cultivators come and go. The two changed direction and were not worried about meeting Hua Tiandu. After all, they were careful all the way, unlike Hua Tiandu who was the focus wherever he went.
Chapter 169: A Hit at First Sight (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
In a place where magical weapons were sold, Li Wuotian and Fang Qingxue slowly admired them. This "Jiudingxuan" was indeed one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Xuanhuang World. Among the many treasures, there were many sets of treasures. Dozens, hundreds or even thousands of these treasures were combined together to form a large formation with infinite power. Li Wuotian was amazed.
At this time, a group of people walked in. The leader was wearing a golden robe with nine pythons, looking very wealthy and powerful. His followers were all in the realm of magical powers. Among them were masters of the "Realm of Heaven and Man" and "Realm of Unity". The people came were very wealthy and powerful.
"Could it be the prince of Taixuan Empire?" Li Wutian had a thought in his mind. Sure enough, when the waiter saw the man, he immediately nodded and bowed: "So it's Prince Yi. Are you here to see this set of swords? I have kept them for you!"
"Yes, in half a year, it will be the 4,000th birthday of Linglong Immortal Venerable of Linglong Blessed Land. I have to prepare some gifts for him. Of course, this set of sword formations is just a greeting gift for some senior and junior sisters." Prince Yi nodded in a low voice.
"That's right, that's right. Linglong Immortal Venerable is a giant throughout the ages. If Prince Yi can marry one of the senior sisters who has achieved the golden elixir, it will be of great help to the prince in his fight for the throne." The waiter flattered while putting away the set of swords and handed them to Prince Yi.
"My two fellow Taoists, are you here to buy flying swords as well?" Prince Yi noticed that the two people standing beside him were of distinguished status, and he actually took the initiative to greet them.
"I came here to have a look with my wife. We came here mainly for the 'Nirvana Pill' at the auction." Li Wutan said with a smile.
Fang Qingxue on the side rolled her eyes at him fiercely. This bad guy Li Wutan really knew how to take advantage of others. However, this kind of situation was not suitable for further explanation. She remained silent and left everything to Li Wutan to handle.
"Do you know if there is a VIP room here, fellow Taoists? If you don't mind, why not come with me? Let's get together and make friends?" Prince Yi said casually. Fang Qingxue and Li Wuotan were both masters, and the competition for succession was extremely fierce. Among the hundreds of princes in the Taixuan Empire, Prince Yi was only at the "Heavenly Realm", barely ranking in the twentieth century. He knew that he was not strong enough, but he did not want to miss any opportunity to expand his strength.
"Okay! We are too lazy to ask the guys to arrange a VIP room, so let's go with Prince Yi!" Li Wuotian said with a smile. Since Prince Yi intends to win him over, he will take the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Taixuan Empire. As the number one empire in the Xuanhuang World, it definitely has fragments of the "World Tree". If he can make use of Prince Yi's power, there will surely be unexpected surprises.
In a flash, Li Wuotian calculated the pros and cons and decided to assist Prince Yi and let him willingly search for the fragments of the "World Tree" for him. During the time since he came back, the clone of the World Tree had refined more than 700,000 "Nascent Soul Pills". With the addition of those on his body, he already had millions of "Nascent Soul Pills", which was equivalent to two or three hundred million "Bai Yang Pills". After tasting the sweetness, Li Wuotian naturally hoped to find more fragments and fuse them together.
The two sides hit it off immediately, and Prince Yi was even more awed to learn that Li Wuotian's wife was a master of the "Golden Core Realm". He had already treated the two of them as his most distinguished guests.
This VIP room is an independent space. Through the windows, one can see the huge shopping mall outside. Countless monks from the "Jiudingxuan" are flying around, arranging various matters for the auction. There are also many monks coming in to buy treasures. Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue followed Prince Yi into the VIP room and saw this lively scene below.
"May I ask your names, fellow Taoists?" Prince Yi dismissed his attendants and asked the two men about their backgrounds for the second time in the VIP room. If they were not sincere, there was no way they would be recruited by him.
Li Wutan nodded to Fang Qingxue, and the power of "Yanyun Fairy Tower" dissipated. The two also withdrew the spell to change their appearance, and the perfect couple appeared in front of Prince Yi.
"You are 'Master Wushu' Li Wuotan! You are Fairy Fang Qingxue!" Prince Yi shuddered with fear when he saw the true faces of the two. Through the conversation, he saw that Li Wuotan and the other were unwilling to mention their identities. He knew that these two must have important backgrounds. He didn't expect that they were such influential figures!
Fang Han, Li Wuotan, Fang Qingxue and Jia Lan, the four young geniuses of the "Yuhua Sect", formed the "New Party" to compete for power with old disciples like Hua Tiandu. The news had already spread throughout the Xuanhuang World. Some factions watched the fun, some were shocked, but they were shocked by the strength of Li Wuotan, Fang Qingxue and Fang Han from the bottom of their hearts.
Unexpectedly, today, Prince Yi actually saw two supreme geniuses. At the same time, he was secretly shocked at the audacity of Li Wuotan and the other man, who actually dared to go deep into the territory of "Taiyi Sect". You should know that even in today's auction, there are more than a dozen "Golden Core Realm" masters of "Taiyi Sect", plus those in other realms, there are probably hundreds of true disciples of "Taiyi Sect" here.
"Hehe! Prince Yi, let's be frank. I know that you want to recruit us. I also want to rely on Prince Yi to help me with something. If we can benefit each other, I don't mind lending you a hand!" At this time, there were only three of them in the VIP room, and Li Wuotan did not beat around the bush.
"I didn't expect that you two would be geniuses! I am not qualified to recruit you two, and I am afraid I don't have the ability to help you two." After being shocked, Prince Yi calmed down and gave up the fantasy in his heart.
These two people were of high status and powerful, and a mere prince like him could not recruit them at all.
"You are certainly not qualified to recruit us, but there is a chance for us to cooperate with each other!" Li Wutan said with a smile: "I want to find a kind of rare wood that is like gold but not gold, like wood but not wood, and that even the giants of the ages cannot refine. As long as you help me find this thing, I will naturally support you with all my strength."
"Isn't it probably hard to find such a rare treasure?" Prince Yi was delighted, but then frowned again.
"Hehe! This is not a rare treasure! It's waste wood! Apart from being strong, it has no function at all. Moreover, there are so many of them, scattered throughout the Xuanhuang World. Some of them may even be lost in the mortal world. It is difficult to find them without huge manpower, but it should be no problem for Prince Yi to help me, right?" Li Wutian explained. "This thing is very helpful for me to cultivate my magical powers. What do you think of this condition?"
"Okay! In that case! I will do my best to find this thing for you!" Upon learning the truth, Prince Yi showed his joy. He, Prince Yi, could not make the decisions on matters of the immortal way, but among the mortals, he was the prince of the most powerful empire in the world and could influence countless dynasties. This kind of thing was naturally his forte. Moreover, he felt that there seemed to be a piece of this strange wood in the palace's treasury, and no one had been able to figure out its use. It had been idle for countless years. Finding a chance to exchange it would allow Master Li to see his abilities!
The news that Li Wutan was practicing the "Five Emperors' Great Demonic Powers" was known to everyone. The "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Power" required a huge amount of wood energy. Prince Yi naturally believed that Li Wutan was eager to perfect this magical power.
"Haha! Good! In that case, Prince Yi, if you are in trouble in the future, I can help you." Li Wutan said with a smile: "By the way, I am short of elixirs at the auction later. Can you help me deal with a batch of magic weapons?"
"Haha! It's a small matter! Since we are family, the real person's business is my business!" Prince Yi laughed. He knew that Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue had special identities and could not show up easily. If this matter was left to him, he would naturally have channels to deal with these treasures.
"Okay! In that case, please help me sell all these things. I will need enough 'Bai Yang Dan' to auction two 'Nirvana Dan', one for me and one for my wife!"
"Hmph! Are you still taking advantage of me?" Fang Qingxue, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but retort when she saw Li Wuotan still calling her "Madam".
“Haha! It’s only a matter of time, and you will be my wife!” Li Wuotan joked, and with a flick of his sleeves, the VIP room was filled with treasures and spiritual weapons, piles of treasures, and even three sets of treasures piled together.
Prince Yi was stunned, and only then did he understand how wealthy the peerless genius was. He did a quick calculation and found that all these magic weapons were worth more than 200 million "Bai Yang Pills", which was an astronomical figure!
"Help me deal with the things too!" Fang Qingxue threw out a treasure bag. After Prince Yi opened it, he was speechless. The treasures here were no less than 200 million. This couple was really rich!
"Don't worry, you two! I'll go out and exchange them for pills for you!" Prince Yi put all the treasures into a magic gourd, nodded at the two of them, but turned around and walked out of the VIP room.
"Are you so confident?" Fang Qingxue asked.
"How is that possible? I'm not stupid! There's a trace of my soul in him. Whether he has stolen our stuff or tipped off Taiyi Sect, I'll know it immediately. Then I'll make him suffer a fate worse than death!" Li Wuotan sat down next to Fang Qingxue. He was not hit by the lightning from Fang Qingxue, which surprised him. But then he was delighted. It seemed that his efforts in taking good care of this young lady along the way were not in vain!
Half an hour later, Prince Yi finally came back and handed three crystal cards to Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue respectively. The items sold by the two were less than 300 million respectively, and the rest was made up by Prince Yi to make a good impression on the two.
"Prince Yi is thoughtful!" When Li Wuotian saw the crystal card, he immediately understood what was going on. He was also an knowledgeable person, so he naturally knew the value of the magic weapon in his hand.
"Haha! I'm glad you two are satisfied with this price!" Seeing that Li Wuotan understood his intentions, Prince Yi was very happy!
Nowadays, we are not afraid of giving benefits to others, but we are afraid that the other party is a fool and knows nothing about the benefits given to him. In that case, we will lose both the wife and the army!
"Haha! In seven days, the royal family will have an expedition outside the territory. All princes must participate and can bring guests with them. I hope you two can support me. This is related to the competition for the throne in the future."
There is no such thing as a benefit without a reason these days. Prince Yi immediately made a request. Li Wutian looked at Fang Qingxue, and seeing that she had no objection, he immediately turned to Prince Yi and said, "Okay! After the auction, Qingxue and I will go with you."
“Hahaha! With the help of you two, I will definitely leave a good impression on the clan elders!” Prince Yi got Li Wuotian’s guarantee, let out a long sigh, and laughed.
"Prince Yi, our identities are very sensitive, so you should not expose them. Moreover, this operation should still be low-key. Of course, if there are benefits, we will naturally help the prince to fight for them with all our strength. If we encounter a lone enemy, we can also eliminate him for the prince!" Li Wuotan thought for a while and ordered again.
Chapter 170 Spending billions of wealth just for a beautiful woman's smile (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
Both the Taiyi Sect and Hua Tiandu are in some trouble, and this overseas treasure land is also controlled by the royal family of the Taixuan Empire. It can be said that it is a complete away battle and there is no room for underestimate the enemy.
"Yes! Master Li is right!" Prince Yi's expression changed. It seemed that he was a little too proud. Even with the help of two big figures from the "Yuhua Sect", there was still a huge gap in strength between him and the eldest prince, Prince Feng, and the fourth prince, Prince Yi.
Prince Feng is a master of the "Golden Core Realm" and the eldest son. He now has the help of Hua Tiandu and a group of "Taiyi Sect" masters. The fourth prince, Prince Yi, is the best among the princes. He is a master of the "Heaven and Earth Dharma" realm and has inherited the tradition of the "Invisible Sword Way". Many princes around him have taken the initiative to join him.
Compared with these people, Prince Yi has no advantage at all, even with the help of Li Wuotan and Fang Qingxue. It seems that he really needs to do as Master Li said, keep a low profile, lie dormant, and wait until he is fully grown before making any moves!
Just as Li Wuotan and Prince Yi reached a cooperation and formulated the next royal trial plan, the annual treasure sale conference of "Jiudingxuan" officially began.
In the store below, a large fiery red box was opened, and a round pill appeared out of it. The medicinal aura of the pill was like a flame, burning slightly, and the sky was filled with red glow. The red glow on the pill seemed to change into musical notes, emitting beautiful sounds.
Extremely powerful elixir! Wonderful elixir!
"'Nirvana Pill', this is 'Nirvana Pill'! According to rumors, it is a heavenly-grade, top-grade pill that can break through bottlenecks! I didn't expect it to be the first auction."
"So this is what 'Nirvana Pill' looks like."
"As expected of the king of elixirs, his aura is extraordinary. Do you know what the reserve price of this elixir is at the auction?"
"Let's not think about it. This kind of elixir is definitely not something we can capture. It must be an immeasurable number."
The first item auctioned by "Jiudingxuan" is such a treasure. In the eyes of some masters in the secret realm of magical powers, the value of "Nirvana Pill" is even more important than Taoist weapons. If you can't break through the secret realm of immortality, you can't break through the lifespan limit of 10,000 years. No matter how strong the magical powers are, you will still die on that day. Therefore, every time the "Nirvana Pill" appears, it can be auctioned at a sky-high price.
When they saw that the first item to be auctioned was such a treasure, countless people were amazed, jealous, envious, and possessive.
"Everyone, this pill is the legendary holy medicine, the 'Nirvana Pill'. There is no need for me to explain its effects. If a master at the peak of the tenth level of the magical power 'Change Destiny against Heaven' takes it, there is a great chance that he will break through and become an eternal giant. But it only increases the probability, not 100%. "The gentle voice of Yu Jizi, the host of the "Jiudingxuan" auction, spread throughout the entire hypermarket.
