In the sky, the starry rivers shone brilliantly, and in the half-sky, a few disciples were chatting with each other on a flying vehicle.
Master, you said that there might be nine spirit things born in the future of Shuanglong Mountain. Who does this newly born spirit belong to?
Yu Lou is curious about the distribution model of production resources in the cultivation world.
"Red Lanterns, Fairy Alliance and so on, are large families, they definitely won't steal nine-grade spiritual artifacts. It would be too ugly."
The Drip Water Cave and the likes of the Gu family, with the Purple Mansion as their stronghold, would not take action either; it's too lacking in breadth of vision.
Under the governance of Fairy Alliance, foundation practitioners were restricted severely, and any slight deviation might lead to the collapse of their families.
Often, it's the cultivation of vital energy practitioners who compete against each other, and the winner takes all.
"That's how the previous patriarch of the Wu family seized the disorderly well," said one disciple.
Red-browed said with some warmth in his heart.
He actually also wanted to fight for it, but such an opportunity was too rare for a free-style cultivator.
"Are those big families and immortal sects going to send their descendants to participate in the contest under assumed names?" Yu Lou asked with a hint of melancholy.
Yu Lou had long understood that the corrupt cultivation world was like a big prison. The rules and doctrines locked up all those who had not become Purple Mansion cultivators.
If you can't become a Purple Mansion, you have to follow the rules.
But if you follow the rules, you can't expect any extra profits.
Without profits, there is no food and support, and you can't become a Purple Mansion.
With each link interlocked, the Wang family hasn't produced a single Purple Mansion in over a thousand years.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad for you to figure out the approximate time of the spirit artifact's birth. Any power with foundation practitioners will send their best hands to wait in advance."
Free-style cultivators can't wait, and they can't compete. The Wu family is from Miaofeng Mountain, and your Wang family is a vassal of the Red Lanterns. It's hard for free-style cultivators. The only hope for them is to reach foundation cultivation and live another two hundred years."
Red-browed grumbled.
He wants to be carefree too, he wants it so much, but he just can't do it!
"That you will definitely succeed in foundation cultivation, Master!" It's Yu Lou.
"Surely successful, surely successful!" That's from Yu An.
"Hahaha, let fate decide it. I've almost exhausted my family's wealth this time."
Yu Lou didn't speak.
To achieve foundation cultivation, Red-browed indeed had almost run out of money, which is why he allowed them to sell spiritual artifacts to outsiders at the house of Huafeng.
At that time, there was a gentleman's agreement between the Wang family and Red-browed that Yu Lou's two brothers could not sell spiritual artifacts to outsiders while Red-browed was still alive.
Now Red-browed didn't care about this anymore. He needed his two brothers to take over the business at Huafeng house, ease his pressure, and buy him more time to prepare for foundation cultivation.
Including yesterday's return to the former cave residence at Shuanglong Mountain, it was the first time in many years that Red-browed had sought out former acquaintances among free-style cultivators to sell spiritual artifacts.
The time is tight, no matter how much preparation there is, people always worry that it's not enough. This rotund Red-browed cultivator seems not to be in a hurry, but in reality, he's already very anxious.
-----------------
In the morning, white mist gently enshrouds the green peaks by the river.
A long, green river winds its way across the ground. If the dragons of Shuanglong Mountain are considered a stretch, then the dragons of this Wu Long River are very reasonable and appropriate.
The flying vehicle device landed smoothly on the Golden Wall cliff by the Wu Long River. There is a marketplace here that is not recorded on any map—the Wu Long Market.
After setting down the device, Yu Lou noticed that many cultivators were floating in the air or standing closely to the cliffs, filling the edges of the Golden Wall cliff. It seems that something special is about to happen.
"They are waiting for the Golden Light of Wu Long. Although Wu Long River is not a Spirit River nor a Spirit Object, the Golden Wall Cliff is an eight-grade Spirit Object."
Every morning, after the mist near the Golden Wall Cliff is scattered by the sunlight and the golden light of the cliff itself, a special spiritual tide known as the Wu Long Golden Light is generated.
"This spiritual tide is very extraordinary, and it can serve as a spiritual reference for many talismans. It is far better than extracting the Great Day Purple Qi for spiritual reference."
Red-browed actually had many acquaintances here. He greeted people while pointing to a household goods store.
"The owner of your family's store is Wang Rong Sheng. Do you two know him?"
Yu Lou was somewhat stunned.
Alright, alright, the Wang family is indeed extraordinary. They even get involved in illegal businesses.
He understands now why Wang Xianmao has confidence in luring Red-browed, who has reached foundation cultivation, into the Wang family. The Fairy Alliance is too far away, while the Wang family is too close.
The significance of inheritance was once again concretely displayed before Yu Lou at this moment.
"Heard of him, never met. Uncle Rongsheng left home to make a living early," Yu Lou replied.
"Hahaha, go in and wait for me. I'll go do business, and bring you back to the Qingxiang Fang in the afternoon."
Oh?
Looking at Red-browed who didn't even look back, Yu Lou sucked in a cold breath.
Wu Long Fang is an illegal marketplace!
Master, is your heart too big?
However, behind Wu Long Fang, there are people from the Xianmeng and also the Purple Mansion power Miaofeng Mountain.
It does have a powerful reputation. People come and go, even more impressive than Qingxi Fang.
"Let's go in, visit our uncle, and ask him if he knows what Master is doing business for here."
With Yu An, Yu Lou walked into this household goods store.
The entrance of the store was a big counter, behind which were shelves. However, some of the shelves were empty.
"May I know what you gentlemen would like to purchase?" the clerk asked.
"Is it convenient for us to find the owner?"
Yu Lou observed the situation in the store and casually asked.
"Please wait a moment." The clerk, noticing Yu Lou's extraordinary appearance, didn't delay and soon called out to Wang Rongsheng.
Wang Rongsheng appeared as a slim old man with exercise foundation cultivation. He wore a loose robe, had long and graceful whiskers, and looked quite ethereal.
"Hahaha, what can I do for the two young cultivators?" Wang Rongsheng asked with a laugh.
Wang Rongsheng has been away from the family for many years and doesn't recognize Yu Lou and Yu An.
Yu An had already started to feel awkward, but Yu Lou actually found it quite interesting.
Encountering a relative in a foreign land, what could there be to be embarrassed about?
We are all Wang family disciples, after all, we are one big family.
"Uncle Rongsheng, this is Yu Lou, and this is Yu An. Today, we accompanied Master Red-browed to Wu Long Fang to conduct business. Knowing that you are here, we have come to visit."
Wang Rongsheng was first taken aback, then he seemed to understand. He walked out from behind the counter, somewhat indignant.
"How did Red-browed that rascal bring you here!"
Seeing Yu Lou's face was somewhat awkward, he explained.
"It's not that I don't welcome you. Ah, Red-browed is just causing trouble!"
"The situation has changed from before. There are conflicts between the Guanshi Sect on the other side of the river and the Miaofeng Mountain here. Wu Long Fang is in a very dangerous situation."
"Master is here to conduct business, and on the way out of Qingxi Fang, he will teach us how to practice the path of righteousness."
Yu Lou felt a bit awkward. After sixteen years of quiet cultivation since his journey through time, was this the moment to trigger the necessary incident mechanism for time-travelers?
"Uncle Rongsheng, the outside seems pretty normal to me." Yu An also seemed confused.
Wu Long Fang has fewer people than Qingxi Fang, but it is built on a cliff, with a relatively compact layout. In terms of prosperity, it doesn't lag behind Qingxi Fang at all, and there's absolutely no sign of chaos.
"The Guanshi Sect wants the Golden Wall Cliff, and they have made it clear that they will attack Wu Long Fang soon."
Wang Rongsheng is now very annoyed. Yu Lou and Yu An are both the direct-line descendants of the Wang family, and they are also the offspring of a qilin.
He hasn't met these two children, but he knows of them.
Now, a crisis may happen at any moment, yet their disorganized teacher brought them to Wu Long Fang.
Red-browed, you are truly out of line!
"The Guanshi Sect attacking Wu Long Fang? But why are there still so many cultivators in Wu Long Fang?"
Yu Lou asked in surprise.
Wang Rongsheng explained his newly formed understanding of the immortality world controlled by the Fairy Alliance and the Ten Sects in just three sentences.
The Guanshi Sect is a vassal of the Xianshe Sect, a sect established by a great cultivator from the Purple Mansion.
Wu Long Fang is backed by Miaofeng Mountain, the vassal of the Red Lantern Cult, and also has a sitting of the Great Cultivator from the Purple Mansion.
If a battle were to break out, then everything would be chaotic!
