Song Changsheng and Zhuang Yuechan followed Bai Zicheng to the inn prepared for them in advance.
It is said to be an inn, but in fact it is an independent cave abode. All the facilities are the best, and there are even boys and girls waiting in front of the door.
The first time he came to Fire Cauldron City, Song Changsheng originally planned to go out for a walk. After all, the market at Fire Cauldron City was famous, so he could just go shopping for some treasures.
It's a pity that this incident happened right after he arrived. Since the city was not peaceful, he stopped moving around to avoid getting into trouble.
In the past few days, he was practicing "Five Beast Body Tempering Art" and feeding Spirit Beast, and his days were quite fulfilling.
Since Jinxuan swallowed the eggshell, he slept for a full half a month before waking up. His body size has expanded several times, and his cultivation has stabilized at First-Tier Peak Grade.
Turtles Demon Beast generally like to be quiet and don't like to move. Jinxuan is even more so. It can curl up but never lie down, and it just makes noises all day long.
The key is that he only eats all kinds of Spirit Fruit and drinks Spirit Spring. He doesn't even want the ones with poor quality. It can be said that his mouth is very full.
In cave abode, Song Changsheng dropped a fist-sized [Purple Rhombus Fruit] on the table, which had been huddled in the turtle shell. Jinxuan poked his head out and destroyed it in three strokes, five by two, leaving only a ball of light purple juice.
It still had some unfinished thoughts and looked at Song Changsheng eagerly.
Song Changsheng reached out and pinched Jinxuan's tail and picked it up. Regardless of its limbs fluttering in the air, he sighed and said, "You said how can you eat such a small thing so well? Forget it now. If you get bigger, I will have to feed you. When one day you can no longer afford it, you will have to rely on yourself."
He said this, but he still took out a few more Spirit Fruit and fed them.
Raising Spirit Beast has been extremely expensive since ancient times. Most people really can't do it. There are only a few people who raise Spirit Beast over Song Clan. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't afford it.
This is strange, why is the cost of raising Spirit Beast so high, but Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and Demon Beast are so common?
There are many reasons for this phenomenon. First, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is rich and there are countless kinds of Spirit Plant, which is an excellent place for Demon Beast breeding.
Secondly, Demon Beast and Spirit Beast are not the same Cultivation System at all.
Hundred Thousand Great Mountains's Demon Beast is completely a barbaric growth and pursues natural selection. Although there are many in number, most of them are just a mob and are vulnerable to attack. That is, only after the formation of Beast Tide can they have such a slight threat.
Although the number is large, it is just a large number. It can be seen from the number of Demon King, which is comparable to Great Qi Cultivation World.
The growth rate of Demon Beast is very slow.
But Spirit Beast is different. The monks raised Spirit Beast to use it as a support for Cultivation Path. According to the normal growth rate, the flowers all withered.
This requires the owner to devote his efforts. Whether it is feeding Demon Beast flesh and blood or a panacea, it is not created out of thin air.
Song Changsheng is now Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and is not far away from Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. If he wants Spirit Beast to help him practice, he must smash more Spirit Stone.
Putting Jinxuan aside to eat, Song Changsheng walked out of cave abode, looking at the bright weather, and stretched himself comfortably. He had not gone out to breathe for several days.
"I wonder what Yuechan is doing?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a melodious piano sound came from not far away. This piece Song Changsheng was so familiar that Zhuang Yuechan often played it to him on the way here.
After stopping and listening for a while, suddenly, a look that did not conceal its malice fell on Song Changsheng.
Song Changsheng frowned and looked at the source of his gaze, which was a young monk wearing a red crane-patterned gown, standing quietly several miles away. His eyes were long and narrow, his face was long and his lips were thin, giving him a sinister feeling.
Seeing that Song Changsheng had discovered him, he not only did not restrain himself, but gave him a sneer in return, and even raised his finger at Song Changsheng provocatively.
This move made Song Changsheng a little baffled. He never believed that there was unprovoked kindness or malice in this world, but he did not know this person.
In the face of provocation, Song Changsheng should have given him a middle finger in return, but he is no longer a middle-aged boy and is too lazy to do such meaningless things.
Just figure out who the opponent is first, and then find a way to kill him.
Glancing at him flatly, Song Changsheng turned and left. After returning to cave abode, he called the boy who was waiting for him and said, "Do you know which force lives three miles away?"
The people living in the surrounding area are all eligible to participate in "Pill Appreciation Assembly". The number of people is not large, so it should be easy to find out.
The boy thought for a while and replied respectfully, "Senior, that is the residence of seniors Blazing Sun Sect."
"Blazing Sun Sect?" Song Changsheng suddenly understood after hearing this. If it was Blazing Sun Sect, there would be nothing to figure out. Song Clan and them were in a fight to the death.
Blazing Sun Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator died in his hands, not just one or two, but it wouldn't hurt to have one more.
"Do you know who is coming from the Blazing Sun Sect?"
The boy immediately bowed and saluted. "Senior, please forgive me, I don't know."
Song Changsheng just asked. He didn't expect a little boy like him to know this. He waved his hand and let him go down. He began to think about the information about the Blazing Sun Sect in recent years.
Since the last time they teamed up with the Rong Clan to ambush Blazing Sun Sect, their shrinking forces have gone dormant, rarely stopping for a while.
But Song Clan did not take this lightly. When Song Luyao took charge of the Wind Whisper Hall, he sent a large number of spies to lurk into Yang Province and collected a large amount of intelligence.
Later, after Song Changsheng took over Wind Whisper Hall, he paid special attention to this part. Among them was a list of outstanding monks of the new generation of the Blazing Sun Sect.
The person who can participate in "Pill Appreciation Assembly" is naturally an important figure in the younger generation of the Blazing Sun Sect. Based on his appearance, Song Changsheng quickly determined the identity of the other party.
Blazing Sun Sect Grand Elder He Tai's great-grandson——He Tang.
He Tang can be said to be the leader of the new generation of the Blazing Sun Sect and a strong competitor for the next Sect Master. Although he is only Wood-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, he stopped taking [Foundation Establishment Pill] at the age of twenty-five.]Foundation Establishment by himself. He has already broken through Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment before he turned fifty this year. He is currently the most promising seed player of the Blazing Sun Sect to break through the Purple Mansion.
Song Changsheng's eyes flashed. This is not an easy person to deal with. He needs to consider the long term and beware of the other party's secret plots.
According to the information obtained by the spies, He Tang has a treacherous mind and acts ruthlessly and unscrupulously. He is a dark and poisonous snake, and he will attack you who knows when.
On the other side, Song Changsheng simply turned around, leaving He Tang stunned for a moment. He had imagined many possible performances of Song Changsheng, but he did not expect it to be like this.
"You bastard, how dare you ignore me!" He Tang only felt an evil fire running through his body.
Song Changsheng's indifferent expression and that final contemptuous glance made He Tang feel that he was just a clown and that others didn't take him seriously at all.
When he became famous at a young age, he had never been wronged like this, and the murderous intention towards Song Changsheng in his heart couldn't help but become more intense.
He flicked his sleeves and returned to cave abode. After seeing the old man sitting inside, his expression instantly returned to calm. He would never show his true emotions in front of outsiders.
"Young Master, can you see Song Changsheng?" The old man stood up and asked respectfully.
"Hmph, it's just a crazy rebellious person. It's nothing to worry about. Have you found out who killed Demon Subduing Hall in the past few days?" He Tang snorted coldly.
"According to the information revealed by the Hundred Herbs Hall, it is said that they are the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect, but the old slave feels that the truth is not fully revealed. Hundred Herbs Hall must be hiding something." The old man's tone was a little hesitant.
He Tang immediately became interested after hearing this.
"Does my sect have a chance to profit from this?"
The old man glanced at him and said helplessly, "Young Master, Sect Master is in a critical period now. It's better not to cause more trouble. Our ancestors have ordered that we must go back after participating in Pill Appreciation Assembly."
"Ha, just don't regret it then." He Tang sneered, but did not insist. He did not dare to disobey his ancestor's order...
Ten days passed quickly. It was surprisingly quiet outside the city Inner City these days. The murderer seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
It seems like everything ends here.
Song Changsheng and others were finally allowed to go to Fire Cauldron Mountain.
Fire Cauldron Mountain is the base camp of the Hundred Herbs Hall, which is never open to the outside world. Outsiders are only allowed to go up the mountain when major events are held.
It has three Third-Tier Spirit Vein, thousands of feet high, and looks like a Heaven-Piercing completely footless cauldron. The mountains are covered with dense forests, lush and full of vitality.
An endless White Jade Stairs stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Song Changsheng and others stepped onto the stairs in batches and walked towards the top of the mountain.
There were not many people participating in this celebration, less than fifty people, but their identities and status were extraordinary. These people were either Purple Mansion Great Cultivator or outstanding monks with the Purple Mansion background.
Song Changsheng not only saw He Tang, but also saw Rong Shaoyuan, who had collaborated with him before. He has now become the successor of Young Clan Head and Purple Mansion Clan of the Xiangzhou Rong Clan.
The two exchanged glances with each other, and then looked at He Tang Tacit Understanding. The Song and Rong families had united to deceive Blazing Sun Sect, and they would not mind repeating the same trick again if necessary.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
At the end of the stairs is a huge square that stretches as far as the eye can see. There are low tables in the center, and beautiful maids in white fairy skirts shuttle among them.
Except for Two Great Sects, whose seats are ranked first on the left and right sides, the rest of the seats are not fixed. Song Changsheng and Zhuang Yuechan are juniors, so they naturally sat at the end.
At this time, some rare fruits and fruits and Spirit Wine were placed on their low table, as well as several exquisite snacks.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but He Tang and his Dao Protector chose their seats opposite Song Changsheng and looked at him with sneers.
Song Changsheng didn't even bother to look at him, he just kept talking to Zhuang Yuechan and made He Tang so angry that one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, showing contempt, pure contempt.
"Young Master, the one next to him seems to be Zhuang Yuechan, the youngest disciple of Great City Lord." The old man next to He Tang suddenly said.
He Tang's attention has been on Song Changsheng. When he heard what he said, he frowned and said, "What? How could they get so close? Is Sunset City going to side with the Song Clan?"
He believed that his vision as Dao Protector would not be wrong. If Song Clan and Sunset City really stood together, it would be troublesome for the Blazing Sun Sect.
"It shouldn't be that far yet, but we must be more vigilant and take action to destroy it when necessary!" A stern look flashed in the old man's eyes.
Although he had been talking to Zhuang Yuechan, Song Changsheng's attention had always been on the two of them. Even though the old man hid it very well, he still caught the flash of cold light.
This made Song Changsheng secretly increase his vigilance. After all, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows.
At this moment, two immortal old men came to sit at the head of the table. One of them was Bai Wuming, whom they had met once before, and the other Song Changsheng did not know him, but it could be seen that his status was above Bai Wuming, and he was a Purple Mansion Great Cultivator.
"I, Lu Yuming, am now Hundred Herbs Hall Master. On behalf of the Hundred Herbs Hall, I would like to thank all fellow Daoists for coming to participate in this Pill Appreciation Assembly. I hope that you will not hesitate to make corrections and return with a good time." Lu Yuming stood up and said loudly to everyone.
"Hundred Herbs Hall's Pill Appreciation Assembly is very rare. You can get it no matter what." A bloated Purple Palace Cultivator said with a smile.
"Yes, the last conference is still fresh in my memory. I wonder if I can still see Master Lu making elixirs in person."
"I'm even more curious about the new Medicinal Pills this time. I really liked the [Beauty Pill] last time."
As soon as Lu Yuming opened his mouth, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Song Changsheng is also secretly observing this Hundred Herbs Hall Master. This one is incredible. He is the only Fourth-Tier Alchemist in Great Qi Cultivation World. His status even exceeds that of ordinary Golden Core True Person. Among the Cultivation World around him, all of them are Alchemy Master.
Even if Golden Crow Sect True Lord Su Ding comes in person, you have to be polite.
And this is Purple Palace Cultivator, the eldest of Great Qi Cultivation World, who is currently nearly 600 years old, and his energy and blood still show no signs of decline.
Some people say that he took Precious Medicinal Pill, which can extend his life by two hundred years, and his life span has reached seven hundred years. No one knows whether it is true or not, but judging from Song Changsheng, this Hundred Herbs Hall Master does not look like he is about to expire, and he may still be alive.
At this moment, Lu Yuming stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly to everyone, "Comrades and friends, please drink this cup together!"
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
Everyone also stood up and drank a glass of wine. When they sat down, they didn't know if it was an illusion. Song Changsheng felt that Lu Yuming's eyes seemed to stay on him for a while.
At this time, Bai Wuming stood up and said loudly, "The conference will begin now. The first thing I want to show you is the [Spirit Nurturing Pill] that has been improved by our hall. I hope everyone can make corrections!"
