In the spring of Qing'an 18, it rained in the Beichang Empire.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, in this spring rain all kinds of flowers bloom more colorful, a few slightly muddy rut marks on the official road add a few dirty ink colors to this beautiful season, although not obvious pickled, but always not perfect.

In February, it is the season of blooming flowers, and the Flower Dynasty Festival comes from this.

Several groups of people had already passed through here a month ago, heading to the west, where the convoy was heading to Wangshu Tower to participate in the Spirit Master Conference.

The Beichang Empire has a Spirit Academy, but the Spirit Academy is only an academy, not a cultivation sect.

For some people, joining a sect is also a good choice.

Wangshulou held a spiritual master conference in early February, so naturally some people would want to try it.

All countries have no defense against this, as long as the documents are submitted in advance, they can leave the country freely after the approval of the local government.

Unlike those who come from afar, local attendees seem to have an advantage.

"Ready?" Xu An said as he looked at Cheng Wu, who was carrying a big knife in front of him.

"Well, it's ready. ”

"Let's go, then. After Xu An finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked out.

"You're going too?"

"Hmm. Xu An nodded and said.

After all, this is the conference held by Wangshulou, I don't know how many powerful spirit masters and martial artists will participate, naturally there will be many people who want to go over and feast their eyes, after all, not everyone can see the battle between spirit masters.

The place to participate in the conference is not on the Wangshu Tower, nor is it in the town of Three Rivers, and only the disciples of the Wangshu Tower can enter the Wangshu Tower.

The town of Three Rivers is also just a small town, and although it is relatively close to Wangshu Tower, it is not suitable as a place for the competition.

Fifty miles to the south of Sanhe Town, there is a city called Lincheng.

There is a lake outside the city, there is a lake near the city, there is a mountain by the lake, and the place of the competition is on this mountain.

A few days ago, Wangshulou had sent people to close the mountain, and the representatives of Wangshulou who presided over the conference had also arrived at Junlin Mountain, just waiting for the participants from all walks of life to go.

Fifty miles is not too far, and it is not too late to leave.

You won't meet anyone when you go to Lincheng from Trois-Rivières, but when you get to Lincheng, you can see how grand this conference is.

The city defense of Lincheng was more than three times tighter than in the past. There were guards in armor and spears everywhere on and under the walls, but these seemingly tight guards may be in vain, and if these participants really want to attack the city, these guards can only obediently open the city gates and welcome them into the city.

The reinforcement of the guards is just for the peace of mind of the people in the city, but fortunately, no one dares to ask for trouble in the conference held in Wangshulou, so the city lord and the guards are not very concerned about security, but they still have to do what they should do.

The attendees will not enter the city, which will cause panic in the city and the country, but it does not prevent those who come early from entering the city to pass the time.

"Stop, what are you doing?" a guard asked nervously as he looked at the stout man with a large knife in front of him.

A rough man is naturally a martial artist, although he is not a big man.

"Those who attend the Spiritual Master Conference. Cheng Wu replied honestly.

"The Spirit Master Conference is on the west side, you went wrong, you went around here, and you saw that mountain, it was on top of it. The guard patiently explained, tiptoeing and pointing to the west.

"I said go straight up the mountain, why do you have to go into the city?" Cheng Wu turned to Xu An and said.

"You know the, this big brother, it's like this, we want to eat something in the city. Xu An stepped forward and said to the guard.

"Yes, yes, but you don't have a knife?"

"No, the knife is gone, how can I still participate in the meeting?" Cheng Wu heard that they were going to accept their own knives, and immediately said first.

"That makes sense, but the city is full of ordinary people, so you can cover it with something. ”

"I said that I went directly to the mountain, what did I have to do in the city. Cheng Wu complained while holding a black cloth tied to his big knife.

"You know. Xu An said lazily with his hands crossed in the cuffs on both sides.

The weather had warmed up in February, but Xu An was still tightly wrapped and did not bring his own sword, because it was not him who attended the meeting, and he didn't seem to be worried that his sword would be stolen in the shop.

Although Cheng Wu didn't understand why he wanted to enter the city, he also followed Xu An honestly, and there were still two hours before the start of the conference, so there was no need to rush in time.

Xu An seemed to just take Cheng Wu around the city, and after a casual stroll, he entered the most luxurious restaurant in the city.

"Linjuxuan. Well, it should be the restaurant with the highest specifications in Lincheng. Let's go, grab a bite to eat. Xu An looked at the signboard in front of him and nodded and said.

After entering the restaurant, Xu An did not ask for a private room, but sat in the lobby with Cheng Wu and ordered some food. Cheng Wu was muttering in his heart, didn't he just finish eating?

"When you eat, you have to look like you're eating. Xu An slowly ate what had just been served, and it seemed that he couldn't eat it himself.

"What are you going to do?" Cheng Wu asked his own question, but he also followed Xu An's example and held the peanuts in front of him with chopsticks.

"What are you doing? Inquire about the information, I really took great pains to get into the Shu Tower for you. ”

"Shouldn't you go to an ordinary inn to find out information? ”

"Do you think they are all poor ghosts like you?" Xu An responded with some disdain.

Cheng Wu was very embarrassed, but he didn't refute him. Because Xu An is telling the truth, he is really a poor ghost, otherwise he would not have been a helper for Xu An for so long.

"This person, the young son of the Liyang Zhang family, is said to have reached the late stage of spirit gathering two years ago, and now looking at the spiritual power fluctuations on his body, it should be that he has successfully reached the spirit formation stage, and it is not clear which step he has reached, it may be the early stage of spirit formation, if there is no problem, you will lose to him. Xu An raised his hand and held his forehead, and whispered.

The corners of Cheng Wu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he felt that Xu An was not here to inquire about intelligence, but specifically to attack himself.

However, Cheng Wu turned to think about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with Xu An's choice, generally speaking, the status of spirit masters and martial artists is very high, and people with this high status are basically not bad for money, and this kind of restaurant with the highest specifications is naturally their first choice.

"That, isn't there anything I can fight? Wangshulou doesn't necessarily recruit only one disciple every year, right?" Cheng Wu's mood was a little nervous, this was already a place that he couldn't beat by himself, if Wangshulou only recruited one disciple every year, it meant that there was no place for himself.

"Yes, of course, you can beat this big piece at the bottom. Xu An pointed with two fingers and randomly marked an area for Cheng Wu to see.

Cheng Wu knew what Xu An meant, but the people around him didn't know.

It can be said that all the people who participated in this conference were enemies, and before they arrived at the conference, they were pointed at their blatant provocations, which was naturally tolerable and unbearable, and a group of people were about to stand up and ask for an explanation.

"Uh. Sorry, sorry. Xu An looked at the crowd around him who were about to stand up and stood up and apologized. He didn't want to be the enemy of everyone before the Spirit Master Conference, so there was no need to participate in this conference.

"But none of this is important, the important thing is that Wangshulou only admits one disciple every year. ”

Cheng Wu began to be silent when he heard this, and Xu An didn't bother him, anyway, it was still early before the time of the conference.

"The guy down there is a bit interesting, go check it out. A man leaned against the railing upstairs and said with a smile.

The man is very handsome, he looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, and his eyes are very charming, which seems to be more attractive than ordinary women.

At this time, Xu An, who was staring downstairs, looked at it seriously, but Xu An didn't seem to notice it, still eating slowly, and talking to Cheng Wu from time to time.

"Yes. ”

An attendant woman heard this and quietly left, as if nothing had happened, and as if everything was about to happen.
