Wuling City, an ancient city with a thousand-year-old history, the ancient city is built on all sides with a huge city wall up to 100 zhang, the momentum is magnificent, the shape of the ancient city is like a seal, there are four city gates in the east, west, north and south, and the huge city gate is written in a simple and vigorous font above the huge city gate, "Wuling City" three big characters are written.

After Ye Xiu came to the cultivation world, it was the first time he saw such a majestic building, and at this time, he stood at the entrance of the west gate of Wuling City with a few people, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

The city gate was guarded by the five major families in turn, and at this time, the guards guarding the gate were the people of the Chen family, and the first person recognized Chen Ping and several people at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Ye Xiu carefully looked at it and turned out to be a master of the first-grade Taoist realm, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of the strength of the major families in Wuling City.

The guard, seeing at a glance that his young master Chen Ping was injured, immediately called the guards and carriage to escort him back to Chen's house, and his people were also more or less injured, so after making an appointment to say goodbye, they left separately.

Ye Xiu was invited by Chen Ping to get into the carriage of the Chen family together, this is the first time Ye Xiu has taken the carriage, different from the bumps in the imagination, although the speed of the carriage of the Chen family is very fast, but it is unusually stable, Ye Xiu's divine sense probed out, and found that this carriage turned out to be a Taoist weapon, and a lower grade spirit stone in front of the carriage was inserted into a special groove, providing a steady stream of spiritual energy for the Taoist weapon, which couldn't help but arouse Ye Xiu's interest, and seemed to see Ye Xiu's thoughts, Chen Ping, who was sitting on the side, explained:

"It seems that Brother Ye is taking this kind of carriage for the first time, compared to Brother Ye's vision, it can also be seen that this carriage of my Chen family is a yellow-level inferior Taoist weapon, even in this Wuling City, such a carriage is only a few of our Chen family, this is the third uncle of my family a few years ago, when he went out to do business, he bought it from Jiangling City, I heard that this thing is very popular in the area of the Shenji Sect in the south. ”

Hearing Chen Ping mention the Divine Machine Sect, Ye Xiu became even more interested, and said curiously:

"Divine Machine Sect?"

"Ah, Brother Ye, you can't be that you haven't heard of the Divine Machine Sect, do you? I really don't know if you are from our White Tiger Domain! The Divine Machine Sect is one of the four major sects of the White Tiger Domain, but it is a super sect that is comparable to the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

The outspoken Chen Ping explained directly:

"The Divine Machine Sect is famous for making all kinds of Dao weapons, the most famous of which is this puppet Dao weapon that is driven by spirit stones. I heard that the masters in their sect can even make humanoid puppets that can move freely, which is very powerful!"

Saying that, Chen Ping secretly leaned into Ye Xiu's ear and whispered:

"Tell you secretly, I also heard from my lustful third uncle that at an auction in Tiandao City, a humanoid puppet was auctioned, and that puppet looks like a superb beauty, not only can it speak, but it can also ......"

In the end, even Chen Ping was ashamed to speak, Ye Xiu didn't care about Chen Ping's words, but had a strong interest in this puppet way, if there is a chance in the future, he must study it carefully!

The speed of the carriage was extremely fast, and the two of them soon came to the Chen family's mansion, Ye Xiu noticed that the guards at this gate were very strict, and dozens of people were all the same, all of them were monks from the Dao Tong Realm!

After confirming Chen Ping's identity, the carriage drove straight into it, the entire mansion was built very grandiose, and the carriage drove inside as if it had entered an inner city, which reminded Ye Xiu of the Forbidden City in his previous life.

After driving for a while, the two came to a residential area, and the residential area is another general world, the internal buildings are carved beams and painted columns, quite a bit fresh and refined, after the carriage stopped, soon several maids and servants came forward to receive, Chen Ping explained that one of them entertained Ye Xiu well, then said goodbye to Ye Xiu, and left in a hurry.

Ye Xiu knew that he must be in a hurry to recover from his injuries, so he didn't care, and the servant who followed him chose an extremely elegant courtyard and stayed first.

For the whole afternoon, Ye Xiu stayed in his room to practice inaction, and in the evening, a person who looked like a housekeeper came to inform Ye Xiu to go to the banquet.

Under his leadership, Ye Xiu came to a small lake with a radius of thousands of feet, the lake water is clear, the shore is full of flowers and plants, the scenery is extremely beautiful, there is a wooden bridge floating on the lake, the wooden bridge leads straight to the center of the lake, what makes Ye Xiu surprised is that there is a small pavilion in the center of the lake, the pavilion is lit with stars and lights at this time, and it looks like a special mood from a distance.

The butler-like man came to the bridge and bowed down and made a gesture of please:

"Young Master Ye, please, the head of the family and the young master are waiting for you in the small pavilion in the lake. ”

When Ye Xiu came to the small pavilion, there were already two people waiting here, and one of them was Chen Ping.

The other person is a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume, this person reveals the temperament of the superior in his gestures, his face is cold, not angry and arrogant, but if he looks closely, he is somewhat similar to Chen Ping, it is Chen Bufan, the contemporary head of the Chen family.

When Chen Ping saw Ye Xiu coming, he hurriedly got up and introduced:

"Father, this person is the life-saving benefactor I mentioned to you, Ye Xiu. Brother Ye is the father of the family. ”

Ye Xiu politely arched his hand and said:

"In Xia Ye Xiu, I have seen the head of the Chen family. ”

Chen Bufan, as the head of the family, has read countless people, he saw that Ye Xiu's aura was restrained, and when he looked at him, he knew that Ye Xiu was definitely not simple. is also praised:

"Ye Xiaoyou is really as Ping'er said, he is a young hero. Please be seated!"

After the three of them sat down, Chen Bufan looked at Ye Xiudao:

"I heard Ping'er say that Ye Xiaoyou easily killed the one-eyed and scar of the barren mountain thief before, I don't know what level of cultivation has been reached now?"

"A few days ago, I just luckily entered the Taoist realm. ”

Ye Xiu didn't know what he meant, and said truthfully, when Chen Bufan's father and son heard that Ye Xiu had just entered the Taoist realm, their faces showed surprise, but Chen Bufan was not the head of the family, the surprise was just a flash, but he praised:

"As soon as you enter the Taoist realm, you can kill the one-eyed two who have been in the Taoist realm for many years, seeing that Xiaoyou's strength is extraordinary, I heard Ping'er say, Xiaoyou is currently a casual cultivator, I don't know if you are willing to join my Chen family as a guest elder?"

This sudden invitation made Ye Xiu hesitate, you must know that after the cultivator joins the family, it will definitely have a lot of benefits, which is why the water mist Taoist people have to fight the old book and tie up the Li family, but Ye Xiu is determined to be in all directions, but he doesn't want to be bound by it.

Chen Bufan, who was on the other side, saw Ye Xiu's hesitation, and said again:

"Ye Xiaoyou, don't worry, becoming a guest elder of my Chen family is only good for Ye Xiaoyou, there is no harm. In order to repay Ping'er for saving his life, my Chen family will provide Elder Ye Xiaoyou with cultivation resources, and Ye Xiaoyou doesn't need to do anything for the Chen family on weekdays, he just needs to help the Chen family as much as he can when the Chen family needs it in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Bufan saw that Ye Xiu was still hesitant, so he continued:

"Presumably Ye Xiaoyou must have heard that the Heavenly Dao Sect will recruit disciples in half a year, but presumably Ye Xiaoyou doesn't know that not everyone can participate in the disciple selection, in Wuling City, only those who have the quota recommended by the five great families can participate in the selection, and my Chen family happens to have three places today, if Ye Xiaoyou agrees, I am willing to send one of the places. ”

Chen Bufan is not the head of the Chen family, just a few words poked Ye Xiu's itch, he was right, the reason why Ye Xiu planned to live in Wuling City temporarily for a period of time was for the selection of disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Ye Xiu had deeply understood in the past few days that if he wanted to contact a more advanced Dao method, Ye Xiu must come into contact with a stronger force, and this stronger force is the sect, so Ye Xiu no longer hesitated, and happily accepted the invitation of the Chen family.

After that, the three of them talked about the wine again before leaving in the middle of the night, and when they left, Chen Bufan handed a black token to Ye Xiu as an elder token.

After leaving the small pavilion in the lake, Ye Xiu did not return to his previous residence, but came to the Chen family's library under the leadership of the person who looked like a housekeeper.

In the previous conversation, Ye Xiu made this request to Chen Bufan, but he didn't expect Chen Bufan to just laugh:

"Hahaha, Elder Ye is already an elder of my Chen family, and he has the right to consult the books in it. When you want to go, you can go on your own, so why discuss it with me. ”

In just a few words, the relationship between the two sides was brought closer, and Ye Xiu couldn't help but be impressed by Chen Bufan's behavior.

With the Elder Token in his hand, Ye Xiu smoothly entered the Chen family's library pavilion, and as soon as he entered, he was shocked by the scene in front of him:

Ye Xiu only felt that he had entered a sea of books, with rows of bookshelves filled with books of all colors, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Soon Ye Xiu was hungry and thirsty for reading, I have to say that Ye Xiu is indeed different from ordinary people in reading, especially after entering the Tao, his reading speed and memory can be described as perverted, and his thirst for knowledge made him more demonic in the process, at first he was just looking at one book at a time, and there was a pause when turning books, but then he turned books faster and faster, and the number of books consulted at the same time also changed from one to two, three......

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the five of them agreed to meet again, Ye Xiu also had to stop reading frantically, and after a little trimming, he came to the Agarwood Building where several people agreed to meet.

Agarwood Building is one of the best teahouses in Wuling City, is one of the five great families of the Yue family's industry, the whole Agarwood Building is elegantly decorated, everywhere reveals a fresh and refined feeling, the most striking thing is that the whole ancient building is built with a precious wood called agarwood, everywhere exudes this kind of quiet aroma, with the best spiritual tea here, it is unforgettable.

When Ye Xiu and the two arrived, the other three had already drunk tea in a private room, and when they saw the two of them coming, Zhao Wan'er immediately stepped forward to greet them happily, and took Chen Ping's hand and pulled him to his seat, and to everyone's surprise, Yue Ling'er, who had a somewhat cold personality on weekdays, suddenly became enthusiastic today, and let Ye Xiu sit down beside her with a slightly red face.

As the host, Yue Ling'er first greeted a few people to drink a few cups of spiritual tea, and then everyone talked about their experiences in the past few days.

Chen Ping's injuries were completely recovered, which made Zhao Wan'er deeply relieved, while Luo Fatzi was reprimanded by his father and punished for seven days of confinement.

And Li Jianhe didn't know what the reason was, he had great respect for Ye Xiu between his words, and at the same time mentioned that his father, that is, the current head of the Li family, also had an opinion on Ye Xiu, but he was politely rejected by Ye Xiu, after all, he is now a guest elder of the Chen family, and the matter of the Water Mist Dao people is probably not clear.

Yue Ling'er's words were the least, and she basically didn't talk much during the whole process, except for looking at Ye Xiu from time to time, and kept bowing her head to taste tea.

Ye Xiu had also heard Chen Ping inadvertently mention that on the last trip to the barren mountains, Yue Ling'er, who had a cold personality, didn't want to participate, but she couldn't bear Zhao Wan'er's stubborn beating, so she had to agree.

Among the several people, the news of Lijian River was the most well-informed, and he saw that everyone was almost talking, so he said:

"I heard from my uncle that just tonight, Wanbao Pavilion will hold a large-scale auction, and there will be things that even the five major families are interested in auctioning!
