Lu Yi's trip to Chongshan Country was really unexpected, but he didn't want to be even more surprised to accept such a small family as the Xu family, these days in the Xu family, Lu Yi also touched the Xu family's family background thoroughly, to say that Xu Ning, this old guy, is indeed ambitious, he has worked hard to run the Xu family for nearly two thousand years, and brought the Xu family from an obscure small family to today's scale, and the effort and energy paid are also considerable. Similarly, if you pay, you will gain, because the Xu family has a thin foundation, and knows that it is not easy to live, so in addition to recruiting talents, the Xu family has focused on collecting cultivation resources and property over the years, otherwise they will not worry about the secret place at the bottom of the lake in the mountain country.

Because of the limitations of vision and ability, the good things that the Xu family looted were not very attractive to the Spiritual Cultivators, so they had not been able to recruit the Spiritual Cultivators as guests for a long time, on the contrary, many things were more practical for the Sixth and Seventh Order Monks, so a large number of Sixth and Seventh Order Monks emerged in their own house, and they even attracted a lot of outsiders. Among them, there are also a lot of Dan Array Tricks and even physical training techniques, etc., but Lu Yi unexpectedly found a lot of things that he was interested in. Lu Yi still understands the means of envy and power, so after he gave the Xu family a blow, he also left some things that the Xu family needs at present, of course, Lu Yi is not polite to the things he is interested in.

Lu Yi told Xu Yining to guard the territory, and told him that someone might come with his own tokens or summons in the future, and asked Xu Yining to make arrangements, and Lu Yi planned to use the Hongning Empire as his first base for doing things in the Western Regions for the time being. The Hongning Empire, which has three counties and seven cities, is not big or small, and the geographical location is not prominent, there are no strong enemies around, and it will not be remembered by the big forces, but it is more in line with Lu Yi's development ideas.

Lu Yi's destination this time is a very far city diagonal to the Jade City, originally Lu Yi discussed with Chen Yunzi to fire the first shot there, so because it is too far away from the Jade City, Chen Yunzi's influence there is relatively weak, and he will not be contacted by other old monsters of the same level, as long as it is not a person of the same level who makes trouble, those old monsters will not interfere, so Lu Yi can be more assured and bold and more unscrupulous. However, the chaotic chess of the Chongshan Kingdom disrupted the original deployment, and now after Lu Yi has built the Hongning Empire into a base area, he must find another place nearby that echoes it from afar and forms horns with each other, otherwise how can Lu Yi travel far away with peace of mind?

After some discussion with Xu Yining, Lu Yi set his sights on a high mountain 30,000 miles away from the jurisdiction of the Hongning Empire, Xialu Mountain.

There are many deserts in the Western Regions, and high mountains are not common, and this Xialu Mountain is one of the few famous mountains and rivers. As the name suggests, Xialu Mountain is formed by the merger of two adjacent Wanzhang peaks, these two peaks are one high and one short, as if a couple of lovers are leaning on each other to watch the clouds change, so it is called Xialu. The two peaks are not separated from each other at the bottom of the mountain, but separate from each other above the mountain. Xialu City is a large city located halfway up the waist of the two mountains, just enclosing the two towering peaks, and is controlled by more than a dozen family forces and scattered cultivation powers, as their private forbidden land, providing them with a steady stream of resources. These family forces that control Xialu Mountain have a total of seven spiritual cultivators, including a person in the middle stage of spiritual building, and the number of high-level monks in the Imperial Spirit Stage under his command has reached nearly a thousand, which is the strongest force in the far and near range, but they have always only occupied the entire Xialu Mountain, but they have never taken the initiative to expand outward, so they have not made other surrounding forces panic, and their style of action is very similar to the Cloud Cliff Pavilion in the Eastern Regions. After Lu Yi learned about the situation of this Xialu Mountain, he couldn't help but think of the task that the Mustard Ancestor gave him, could it be that the person he wanted to come to the Western Regions to find was from this Xialu Mountain? Otherwise, how could two forces so far apart, spanning the east and west regions, be so similar?

On the night before leaving, Lu Yi locked himself in a quiet room prepared for himself by Xu Yining, and took out the jade box from the mustard ancestor, after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Yi finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and decided to open it. Inside the jade box was a letter and a jade slip, as well as a wrench carved with a dragon pattern. Lu Yi first opened the letter, and saw that there was only one limerick poem on it: When the east sun rises, the west sets, when the South China Sea rises, the north depression, when there is a dragon in the lake, there is a phoenix in the forest. Looking at these four sentences with no beginning and no end, Lu Yi really couldn't figure out what this meant, he picked up the jade slip again and checked it, and found that the jade slip contained a geographical map of the Western Regions, which was far more detailed than the patchwork map of the Western Regions that Lu Yi had purchased from the firm. Lu Yi easily found the area where the Hongning Empire was located and the location of the Xialu Mountain where he was going to. However, there was no mention in this jade slip that he would go to the Western Regions to find anyone. Lu Yi picked up the wrench again and looked at it carefully, and could only confirm that this was a storage magic weapon, which was in the middle grade of the seventh order, but there was nothing noteworthy in appearance. The spiritual power probed into it, and found that there were only 1,000 top-grade spirit stones placed inside, and there was nothing else, and the huge space was empty, which made Lu Yi extremely unhappy. Lu Yi slandered in his heart, do you want to send me away just by using this thousand top-grade spirit stones? If this is the generous reward that the mustard ancestor said, then don't want the master to do things for you in the future!

Sitting on the bed and thinking for a long time, Lu Yi thought that this must be a method used by Yunya Pavilion to test his ability, and it is estimated that finding someone is just a disguise, if everything is said very clearly, it can be done by casually someone, the reason why it is so vague is that the actual purpose is to test Lu Yi's adaptability and observation ability, which must be a hidden mystery in finding someone in the Western Regions. In addition, Lu Yi also figured out that the thousand top-grade spirit stones were also figured out, it is estimated that they are entangled in the early stage, the Western Regions are so big, it is not easy to visit the Western Regions, and if these thousand top-grade spirit stones are only used for teleportation, it is not much worse.

This night, Lu Yi thought about a lot of things, especially the strange rules of Xialu Mountain City that Lu Yi wanted to use. Because Xialu Mountain is composed of many forces, many of which are loose cultivators, in order to avoid conflicts between various families in the management of Xialu Mountain, the most primitive method has been adopted - speaking with fists. One hundred and eight chairs have been set up in Xialu Mountain, and one hundred and eight people with the strongest strength in the entire mountain city will serve as the guests of this one hundred and eight chairs. The one hundred and eight guests are divided into three grades according to the ranking of strength, the first eight chairs, the second thirty-six chairs and the last sixty-four chairs, respectively, set the corresponding authority, the higher the ranking, the heavier the weight of speaking, the first eight chairs account for fifty percent of the right to speak, the second thirty-six chairs account for thirty percent of the right to speak, and the last sixty-four chairs only have two percent of the right to speak.

Any monk who has lived in the city for more than five years and can stay for a long time in the future, who thinks he has the strength to challenge, can challenge the person you want to challenge, and the one who can win your challenge will take his place, and he will be pushed down by one seat, and the last one will be eliminated. The new seat guest has the right to the corresponding position and the annual offering, and at the same time, he must stay in the city for a hundred years and must not leave to fulfill the obligation to defend the mountain, and after a hundred years, he can go down the mountain at will.

Of course, this kind of challenge is for the monks below the level of spiritual building, because there are only seven spiritual monks in the mountain, and in fact, the eighth position has been vacant for the spiritual monks for a long time. No matter how strong the seventh-order monks are, they can't be stronger than the spiritual cultivators, and it is impossible to be on an equal footing with them, so this eighth position has been vacant for many years, and it is also coveted by many spiritual monks. However, it was not so easy to get to the eighth or even the first seven, and there was a challenge from each of the first seven spiritual monks, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in many other ways, and no one knew what kind of challenge those who wanted to get the eighth chair would face, because every time someone tried to challenge them, they were required to swear not to divulge the content of the challenge. There is no shortage of masters in history who have challenged the ownership of the eighth place, and the most powerful one has passed five levels, while many more spiritual monks have basically stopped at the first three. In the end, the monks on Xialu Mountain saw that it was not the case that the eighth chair had been empty for a long time, and I don't know which arrogant guy proposed that if there were seventh-order monks who could achieve achievements in all three aspects of the Fadan Array, become all-rounders of the three cultivations, and be able to defeat the seventh-order monks on Xialu Mountain, they could temporarily sit on the eighth chair before the eighth spiritual monk who could pass all the tests appeared, and enjoy all the rights that the first eight positions deserved. One of them is that the guests of the first eight chairs are not restricted by staying for a hundred years and can enter and leave Xialu Mountain at will.

This rule seems to be very difficult, it has been seven or eight hundred years since it was promulgated, but no one has been able to successfully sit on the eighth chair, but after Lu Yi knew it, he felt that this was simply tailor-made for himself, not to mention anything else, he was still very sure to crush the monks of the same level, so he planned to try it himself, and in order to be on the safe side, he also planned to arrange for Lin and Li to live here for a long time in case he failed in the challenge, and then try the challenge of the seven spiritual monks. Even, he decided to ask Xu Yining to select a few reliable late-stage seventh-order cultivators to go to Xialu Mountain to lurk, and strive to get a few seats and win a certain right to speak.

When Lu Yi was all arranged, he took his people to Xialu Mountain, this time, Lu Yi wanted to make a splash in Xialu Mountain.
