Chapter 99 Yaobifang City
"Yes, from now on you two are my disciples of Phoenix Pavilion."
"Everyone who enters our Phoenix Pavilion must know that righteousness comes first and is not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately..."
Zhou Yiqiao memorized every word of the sect's rules spoken by the secular elder in his mind, listened attentively, and nodded in agreement frequently.
Only by keeping these sanctimonious rules of Phoenix Gu in mind can we have the opportunity to go beyond the rules in the future and use the sect's rules to do things for ourselves.
The secular elder kept talking for half an hour, and it was not until Princess Fengxiao on the side looked impatient that he finally ended.
"These are the rules of my Phoenix Pavilion. I hope you can abide by them in the future. Remember to put the sect first."
After saying this, the secular elder put the cave address chosen by the two into two wooden plaques and threw them to the two of them respectively.
"In this case, the disciple will retire first."
Zhou Yiqiao bowed again and retreated outside the gate of the registration office. Then he took out the wind sword and flew towards the cave he chose with a stream of light.
After watching him leave, the two Jindan Masters looked at each other and nodded.
Although Zhou Yiqiao's qualifications were not high, his words and deeds were measured and tactful. Compared with Princess Fengxiao who had no idea of advancing or retreating, he was more decent. Therefore, he left an excellent impression on the two Jindan masters.
It wasn't until Zhou Yiqiao disappeared from sight that Master Mao Xin spoke.
"In this case, I won't bother senior brother anymore and will immediately take the princess to meet the deputy sect leader."
After a few simple polite words, the two Jindan Masters also parted ways.
……
Zhou Yiqiao fled for two full hours before he found Suo Longze recorded in the wooden sign.
Suolongze is located on an island at the very edge of Phoenix Pavilion. Its geographical location is remote. Generally speaking, very few Phoenix Pavilion disciples pass by here. At the same time, this place is close to several nearby markets, which is more conducive to the sale of elixirs after Zhou Yiqiao.
The island where Suo Longze is located is only located on a second-order low-grade spiritual vein, so no disciples have been willing to choose this place all year round, so it has given Zhou Yiqiao an advantage.
He entered the cave that had been simply dug by the sect, took out the Swift Wind Sword and the Autumn Water Blade, and began to make drastic changes.
"Bang bang thump thump."
About half an hour later, Zhou Yiqiao finally completed the renovation of the cave.
He simply divided the cave into a quiet room, an alchemy room and a living area according to the way he practiced in Jinlian Mountain.
Zhou Yiqiao pinched his hands and performed a simple wind control technique. After cleaning up the scattered stones in the cave, he sat beside the newly built stone bed, looking around the cave and thinking.
"Some simple furniture needs to be added in the cave, and several acres of spiritual fields need to be opened outside the cave to cover up my identity as an alchemist."
"These matters can be handled by the outer disciples of the Phoenix Pavilion. They only require a few Qi Refining Pills."
"In order to deceive others, we did not take down the Qianyuan Sword Formation in the Jinlian Mountain Cave. Now the top priority is to purchase a defensive formation for Suo Longze."
After some consideration, Zhou Yiqiao decided to go to the nearest market, and planned to sell the Nangong family servant storage bag that he had never dealt with.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw Mr. Luo standing on the shore.
Zhou Yiqiao hurried forward to pay homage, only to see Mr. Luo wave his hand, throw a black jade orb to Zhou Yiqiao and said.
"This bead is called the Mountain and Sea Pearl, and it has the function of communication. Now you and Yingxuan each have a Mountain and Sea Pearl in their hands. You can communicate through this bead in the future."
"I have ordered Yingxuan to inform you whenever she leaves the sect. You must ensure her safety by then."
"Of course, if Yingxuan acted without permission, you didn't know about it and it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Yiqiao put Shanhaizhu into his storage bag and nodded in agreement.
Mr. Luo was very satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's attitude. After a few words of encouragement, he flashed and disappeared from Zhou Yiqiao's consciousness.
After an episode, Zhou Yiqiao continued to rush to the nearest market regardless of what he thought.
Based on Princess Fengxiao's astonishing second-generation ancestor thinking, Zhou Yiqiao did not think that she would continue to be willing to communicate with him after leaving the shackles of Mr. Luo. Of course, Zhou Yiqiao was happy to be free.
After fleeing for several more hours, Zhou Yiqiao finally arrived at Yaobifang City, the second largest city near Phoenix Pavilion.
Yaobifang City is controlled by the Yaobi family of the Jindan family. Unlike the loyalties of the sects in the Liang Kingdom, regardless of the strength of the sects in the country, they directly obey the orders of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom.
Therefore, as long as Zhou Yiqiao keeps covering up, the transactions conducted in this market will not be known to Phoenix Pavilion.
After performing a disguise that had not been used for a long time, Zhou Yiqiao controlled his cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, disguised himself as a casual cultivator who was lucky enough to build a foundation, and entered Yaobifang City.
Looking at the prosperous scene in Yaobifang City, Zhou Yiqiao had to lament once again the principle that the strong take all.
The strength of the Chu State is located at the fixed point of Yanzhou, and all cultivation resources naturally gather towards the Chu State. The city controlled by the Jindan family in front of them is much more prosperous than the Yaoyang City that Zhou Yiqiao frequently visited in the past.
He first went through multiple shops and sold all the trophies he obtained from the Nangong family slaves and Ying Man.
Although there were many items, they were only storage bags for servants and barbarians. After a lot of trouble, they only exchanged for 6,000 spiritual stones.
Afterwards, he entered the Qibao Pavilion, which has the largest flow of people in the city, and followed the waiter in the store to the second floor where the foundation-building monks were specially selected.
Compared to the crowds on the first floor, there were significantly fewer customers on the second floor. Zhou Yiqiao had just stepped in and felt divine thoughts converging on him.
Zhou Yiqiao showed no fear and strolled among the exhibits on the second floor with neither humility nor arrogance.
An old woman in the shop saw Zhou Yiqiao browsing through a cup of tea without selecting a treasure, so she immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, I am Tan Huan, the steward of Qibao Pavilion. I see that fellow Taoist has been coming and going here. Is there anything he likes?"
Tan Huan has the early stage of foundation building. Although she looks old, her clothes are well organized. If she were in the mortal world, she would have the aura of a real old lady.
"Junior Er Changqing is a first-level casual cultivator. This time I came to Duobao Pavilion to find a formation for my cave."
Zhou Yiqiao did not forget his identity as a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and said after giving the junior salute to the old woman.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist is looking for advanced defense formations for foundation building. It really needs to be carefully considered. How about this? I will go to the private room and have a talk with you. I can recommend it to you."
The old woman Tan Huan looked as if she was in a daze, then turned sideways and spoke to Zhou Yiqiao.
Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly and followed the old woman towards the private room on the third floor.
