Chapter 1020 - 361: Entering Jingzhou City
Chapter 1020: Chapter 361: Entering Jingzhou City
A hundred miles from Jingzhou City.
The Cyan Flood Dragon soared among the clouds, moving at great speed.
Fu Changsheng sat upright atop the Cyan Flood Dragon, his brow suddenly twitching as he opened his eyes. A technique struck the Shadow Gate Mask, now upgraded to yellow, revealing a line of information flooding into his Sea of Divine Sense: "Patriarch, the Celestial Yin Tribe leads the White Tiger and Celestial Wolf Tribes to attack Yinan Mountain, specifically aiming to capture Yongxuan alive..."
After listening to the message from Ouyang Fei.
Fu Changsheng’s heart tightened.
Fortunately, he was uneasy and had Yaoyao take many combat forces to Yinan Mountain; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable:
"The Celestial Yin Tribe actually singled out Yongxuan, could they have discovered something new at Fish Eagle Mountain?"
It must be!
Otherwise, Yongxuan had never interacted with the outside world.
They couldn’t specifically seek to capture Yongxuan alive:
"In that case, Yongxuan is not suitable to remain in Jingzhou."
The border between the Great Zhou and Eastern Wilderness is actually in Jingzhou, and as long as he stays away from Jingzhou, the Golden Core of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe cannot cross into Great Zhou’s territory, ensuring Yongxuan’s safety. Without a target, the Celestial Yin Tribe should not act like rabid dogs biting everywhere.
However.
This is not a long-term plan:
"The Celestial Yin Tribe!"
Based on previous intelligence.
The Celestial Yin Tribe harbors a hidden Teleportation Array, capable of transporting to the South Sea.
By all means.
This tribe must be taken down.
But not now.
He has plenty of time and will surely find a suitable opportunity.
As the thought ended.
A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding"
"Your foresight spared an important clan stronghold from disaster, earning five thousand Clan Contribution Points."
Soon after.
The clan contribution points on the panel updated to eighteen thousand three hundred.
Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened at this:
"A few thousand more and I should be able to complete cultivation for the Fourth Layer of the Great Derivation Technique!"
As soon as the thought finished.
Another mechanical voice rang in:
"Ding, your Spirit Pet, Skeleton Demon Vine, has broken through to Tier Three Peak, adding a Purple Mansion Peak combat power to the clan and earning seven hundred Clan Contribution Points."
The Skeleton Demon Vine broke through?!
This is an unexpected joy.
Judging from the system rewards, it appears each Spirit Pet breaking through to Tier Three Peak has a bonus.
The contribution points on the panel have now updated to nineteen thousand.
At this moment.
The outline of Jingzhou City already appeared on the horizon.
As the largest city within Jingzhou boundaries, where powers are most concentrated, one could see a towering city wall in sight from afar. Rarely seen Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion in South Huai Prefecture are not uncommon here.
The power dynamics in Jingzhou City are intricate, with various forces deeply rooted.
Proceed with caution in all matters.
His purpose in coming to Jingzhou City is to purchase Talisman Treasures and other life-preserving items at the auction for the upcoming Shadow Sect Outer Disciple selection. Additionally, he aims to probe the local forces to prepare for the clan’s promotion to Seventh-Grade.
The city gate is close.
Fu Changsheng patted the Cyan Flood Dragon’s head.
Xiaoqing immediately responded with a flash of azure light, transforming into a large ring on Fu Changsheng’s right thumb.
Fu Changsheng straightened his robe, rode the wind down, and strode toward the city gate. At the gate, guards were heavily stationed, several armored cultivators were inspecting the passing travelers.
Behind the guards.
To the left and right, two Late-stage Purple Mansion Great Cultivators sat in the void:
"Truly worthy of Jingzhou City!"
Fu Changsheng sighed somewhat.
Late-stage Purple Mansion Great Cultivators are ancestral figures guarding a region in those remote parts of South Huai Prefecture, yet in Jingzhou City, they are merely gatekeepers.
At the city gate.
A ten-zhang-tall Spirit Mirror stood there.
Fu Changsheng glanced at it, noticing that regardless of disguise or transformation, nothing could escape the mirror’s detection.
He immediately held Jingzhou City in greater awe.
He presented the clan token.
The guards, seeing this, raised their heads and gazed slightly surprised at Fu Changsheng. In all the years of guarding the city, it’s the first time he’s seen someone other than the Luo Family from South Huai Prefecture visit Jingzhou City:
"Fu Clan Leader, are you here for an extended stay or a short visit?"
While queueing.
Fu Changsheng discerned.
Jingzhou City issues Pass Tokens based on the duration of your stay, with varying fees for different tokens.
With the Shadow Sect Outer Disciple selection imminent.
He surely wouldn’t stay long in Jingzhou City, so he promptly said:
"One month"
He surrendered the Spirit Stones.
Upon entry.
Behind him came the guards’ whispered discussions:
"Wanning Commerce Association’s auction promotion was indeed effective; even the Fu Family from a rural backwater came rushing in to join the excitement."
"Hey, Younger Brother Wu, don’t underestimate the Fu Family. If I were qualified enough, I’d also want to witness the spectacle. This is a once-in-a-century auction, and it’s rumored that even auxiliary spiritual objects for condensing Golden Cores will appear. Such grandeur—attending even once would add a layer of credibility to boast about in the future, wouldn’t it?"
"Indeed, I also heard there’s some abandoned Grotto Heaven being auctioned, though its truth is unknown..."
"..."
Fu Changsheng overheard them, his heart brimming with anticipation as he crossed the long arch bridge passage. A wave of dense Spiritual Qi rushed forward, and upon sensing it, he found it no less intense than the Spirit Vein of their Taiqiu Mountain Range in Yunshan County, leaving him quite astonished.
This is an outwardly ordinary street.
It clearly shows.
Jingzhou City must have been built upon a large Spirit Vein of a Tier Four Middle-Grade or higher.
He glanced at the street sides, noticing shops lined up, with cultivators bustling back and forth in a lively scene: "Owning a shop in the city would surely bring immense profits!"
