Chapter 1696: Linyuan Jinpeng

Although the ancient forbidden fairyland is vast, there are not many bases of the human race on it, and there are only three large cities in total.

Bei'an City, located in the north, is one of these three large cities.

Such a large city is built here mainly to serve as a transit point, or for those powerful human beings who come to explore to rest and exchange what they need for life.

Although it is called a large city of the human race, Bei'an City is actually not as huge as imagined, and the total area is only fifty miles.

Moreover, the trading center is almost all concentrated in Bei'an Square in the city, and other places are basically residential areas. As long as a certain rent is paid, you can practice and live in them.

In mid-July of this year, Lu Li and An Ming, who had been traveling for more than three months, finally arrived outside the south gate of Bei'an City.

The city wall is not high, and it is old and mottled.

Looking at the three big characters on the city gate, An Ming couldn't help but feel relieved, "Senior, we are here."

Recalling what he had experienced over the years, when he saw the three characters of Bei'an City again, An Ming felt extremely cordial, and at the same time secretly grateful to Lu Li. If Lu Li hadn't taken action in time, he would have had difficulty returning safely.

Lu Li and An Ming walked side by side towards the city gate.

There were guards at the city gate, not ordinary soldiers in armor, but cultivators wearing the same green clothes. Lu Li secretly scanned them and found that these people were all in the Spirit Severing Stage, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

To enter the city, you have to pay an entrance fee, 10,000 high-quality spirit stones per person. An Ming was ready to help Lu Li pay, but was rejected by Lu Li. After each of them paid their own share, they entered the city smoothly.

There is a straight road into the city. Although it is not as crowded as in ordinary cities, it is not deserted. At a glance, all of them are cultivators.

Although most of them are below the Nascent Soul Stage, it is also quite amazing.

"Senior, let's stay here first. It's only mid-July now. The Void Boat will return from here on the last day of each month. There are still more than ten days." When the two walked outside the restaurant near the city, An Ming suddenly stopped and said.

Lu Li had no objection, thinking that it was a good opportunity to see how the restaurant in the fairy world was different from the lower world.

Then, the two walked into the restaurant next to them.

However, after entering, Lu Li found that the layout inside seemed to be no different from that in the lower world.

If there is any difference, it is that both the diners and the service staff inside are cultivated, and the aroma of the food and wine from a distance makes people feel hungry. You don't need to taste it to know that these ingredients are definitely not ordinary.

When the waiter saw the two people coming in, he greeted them humbly like ordinary mortals in the lower world, smiling and saying, "Welcome to Yuehua Tower. Are you two seniors going to have a meal or stay at the hotel?"

An Ming asked Lu Li for his opinion, and then said lightly, "First, open two rooms for us on the fourth floor, and then prepare a table of ten-full banquet and two pots of the best Yuelu wine in the lobby on the second floor."

The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this, and with a shout, he took the two people to the second floor.

As expected, the second floor was much quieter than the first floor, and the two chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Not long after, the waiter who had just left brought someone to deliver a full table of food and wine, and handed the room key to the two people, apologized, and turned away.

"Senior, I toast you a glass." An Ming picked up the wine glass and smiled.

"Please." Lu Li raised his glass to greet him, took a sip and slowly put it down. After a slight pause, he said, "Fellow Daoist An, can you explain Nanhuang Immortal Domain to me?"

"Of course, no problem, but I don't know what aspect you want to know about?" An Ming nodded and replied.

"Local customs, sects and cities are all fine. To be honest, I went wrong in my cultivation, which led to a lot of memory loss. I am very confused now." Lu Li rubbed his forehead pretending to have a headache.

Hearing this, An Ming suddenly realized and thought, no wonder Lu Li asked such a question before, it seems that there is something wrong with his brain.

Then, he explained to Lu Li.

According to An Ming, Nanhuang Immortal Domain is larger than Gujin Immortal Domain, but there are not many sects and forces above it, only three in total.

They are Qingxuan Sect in the south, Ci'en Temple in the north, and Amaterasu Gate in the west.

Among the three major sects, Qingxuan Sect is the strongest, occupying most of the Nanhuang Immortal Realm and governing many cities. Linyuan City, where Anming's family is located, is under the jurisdiction of Qingxuan Sect.

And Anming is also a disciple of Qingxuan Sect.

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the strength of Qingxuan Sect?"

"There are more than 300,000 outer disciples below the level of distraction, 50,000 to 60,000 inner disciples of distraction and integration, thousands of Mahayana peak masters, and dozens of earthly immortal elders. As for the sect master, it seems that he is in the late stage of true immortal cultivation, and he may step down soon..."

Speaking of the strength of Qingxuan Sect, Anming couldn't help but show a proud expression on his face.

Lu Li was also a little shocked after hearing this. Such strength is really not simple, and reaching distraction is considered an ordinary inner disciple, which is really not a low requirement.

But then he asked in confusion: "What do you mean by resignation?"

"It's like this, our Qingxuan Sect has a rule that once the Sect Master breaks through to the peak of the True Immortal, he must leave the Nanhuang Immortal Realm and go to the upper sect of the Second Heaven to report on his duties. He cannot continue to stay in the First Heaven." An Ming explained.

This means that the Qingxuan Sect in the Nanhuang Immortal Realm is just a branch of a certain sect above, not the headquarters. From this, it can be seen that the background of the Qingxuan Sect should not be underestimated.

At this moment, two people, an old man and a young man, suddenly walked up from the stairs. The old man was wearing a brown robe, and the younger one had a face of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slightly arrogant expression. He walked in front and paused slightly before heading towards Lu Li. come over.

These two people were clearly the ones who went to the crack in the valley to look for the ghost fruit.

An Ming obviously recognized the two of them. When he saw the two of them walking this way, he paused for a moment and hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists: "Greetings to Senior Xi, I've met Brother Jin."

Unexpectedly, this time, a hot face touched a cold butt. The young man just raised his head and glanced at An Ming, then walked past him, causing An Ming to feel embarrassed.

The old man in brown robe also just smiled at An Ming and followed the young man to the other end without saying anything else.

An Ming shook his head and sat back down. Seeing Lu Li looking at him strangely, he felt embarrassed again, "I made senior laugh."

Lu Li turned back and looked at an old man and a young man sitting in the distance, "Are those two people of good background?"

"Senior, I don't know. The young man's name is Jin Peng. He is the first family in Linyuan City. He is the young master of the Jin family. He was born with dark spiritual roots. He is only over 800 years old and has already reached the early stage of Mahayana cultivation."

"As for that old man, his name is Xi Kang. He is a protector hired by the Jin family at a great cost to protect Jin Peng. It is said that he is a strong man in the early stage of the Earth Immortal..." An Ming sighed and slowly Xu explained.

More than 800 years old in the early Mahayana period? He's really awesome, but he doesn't seem to have a very good character.

Lu Li thought to himself, and then asked curiously: "Aren't you from the An family? Why are you greeting me with such a smile? Do you think the An family has no status in Linyuan City?"
