This exchange place and even the entire Fang City are all under the influence of the defending army, and since this old man is the person in charge of this exchange office, he should be a person who belongs to the forces of the defending army.

According to the old man, the relationship between the city defenders and the Wang family seems to be very good, the city lord of Wanyan City and the lord of the Wang family are very good friends, and the city lord even moved his mansion to the vicinity of the palace in order to protect the safety of the people of the Wang family and Huo Yunlian.

Jiang Ming nodded lightly, if he didn't know Huoyun Lotus, it would be fine, since he knew, Jiang Ming would have no reason to let go of such a divine object.

"Tell me about it."

Jiang Ming said softly, and the expression on the old man's face became even more excited when he heard this.

The old man sold the news he knew to Jiang Ming for 50,000 spirit stones, and the news that Jiang Ming got was that the wide publicity power of this martial arts competition had attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Among them, even the Temple of Killing God had sent someone to buy this Fire Cloud Lotus in the hands of the Wang family, but in the end it was rejected by the Wang family.

And what shocked Jiang Ming the most was that it was said that there were people from the Heavenly Palace among the participants this time, but even the old man didn't know how many people from the Heavenly Palace came.

As the behemoth of the world's monastic world, the people in the Heavenly Palace came to participate in this conference, and they were naturally entertained in the City Lord's Mansion as honored guests.

And because this tournament is absolutely confidential, no one will know the total number of participants and the identity of the other party until the tournament opens.

In short, all the younger generation who paid 10 million spirit stones can participate in this conference, and since this white-haired old man has the strength of the middle stage of the Spirit Venerable, he is also a person with a very high status in the city defense army.

Although this tournament is said to be held by the royal family, it is the side of the city defenders who are really executing, and ordinary people will not know that the people of the Heavenly Palace will also come to participate in the tournament, and the old man is an important member of the city guards, and his news is indeed more extensive than others.

Not only the Heavenly Palace, but also the influence of the Fire Cloud Lotus is very great, many cultivator forces in the world have come over, and the third-class forces of the old man have said dozens of them at will, and there is even the existence of the God Killing Temple among the super forces.

The forces that Jiang Ming knew alone, in addition to the two super forces of the Heavenly Palace and the Temple of God Slayer, there was also the family that was also a cultivator of the ancient world.

And that's not all the numbers, according to the old man, there are still five days before the tournament, and it is obvious that the number of participants will be more and more, and there may be many powerful characters on the day of the opening of the conference.

As Jiang Ming knew, Ouyang Jin of Tiandimen had not been talked about by the old man, and it was obvious that either Tiandimen had just come to Wanyan City and had not had time to save his life to attend the meeting, or he was purely passing by or coming to see the excitement.

It seems that this tournament is not so simple, since there are so many forces involved, and there are super forces such as the Heavenly Palace and the Temple of Killing Gods, it is not so simple to think that it is not so simple to win the championship.

Bai Yu, the first person of the same generation in the Heavenly Palace, was Jiang Ming's most feared, when he was in the Heavenly Palace, Jiang Ming could clearly recognize that he was by no means the opponent of that Bai Yu, although his current strength had entered the realm of Lingzun, but if he wanted to fight against that Bai Yu, he was still not sure.

Coupled with Ouyang Jin of Tiandimen, if he would also participate in the meeting, this person would definitely be a strong enemy.

There are also the Chengjia and the Temple of Killing Gods, these two forces are usually quite low-key in the cultivation world, and the disciples in their sects rarely move around in the cultivation world, so the world doesn't know what elite-level juniors they have.

But as a super power of the God Killing Temple and the formation of the ancient cultivators, you don't have to think about it to know that the juniors under them must also be some perverted geniuses.

There have been so many strong opponents so far, and this competition is not watery, and it seems that it will not be so simple to stand out in it.

After listening to the old man's story, Jiang Ming secretly exclaimed, although the Fire Cloud Lotus was powerful, how difficult it was to obtain it, not to mention that Jiang Ming couldn't reveal his identity yet, and if he wanted to participate in the meeting, he couldn't even use some iconic tricks.

"It's troublesome now......" Jiang Ming muttered to himself in his heart.

"This is all the spirit stones, Xiaoyou will count them." The old man said, then shook his hand and threw out a spatial ring.

Jiang Ming caught his divine sense and swept it, and he sensed those spirit stones inside, which were exactly nineteen million and nine hundred and fifty thousand.

This old guy is really a profiteer, although he can know the future opponent and the mode of the game before the game, but Jiang Ming secretly thinks that there are probably not a few people who can know the news.

Like the old man, who is in the exchange house every day, once there is a gold owner who comes in to exchange a large amount of spirit stones, it is estimated that he will spend money to buy him, and this guy will move a few words casually It is 50,000 spirit stones......

With the exchanged spirit stones, Jiang Ming and Wang Qi walked out of the exchange office and walked towards the outside of the market.

Originally, he was just here to exchange spirit stones, but he didn't want to accidentally learn such a news, and now he also understands why so many cultivators have gathered in this Ten Thousand Flame City.

I think most of these people are here for this martial arts competition, some are going to participate, and some are just here to see the excitement.

Fire Cloud Lotus Jiang Ming was in urgent need, and there was no reason for him to let go of this kind of medicinal material that could awaken the Netherworld, but on the other hand, Jiang Ming also felt that it was a little difficult to do.

If it was an ordinary martial arts competition, it would be no problem to win the first place with his strength, but this martial arts competition involved so many forces and strongmen, and it seemed a little impossible to get the Fire Cloud Lotus in the competition.

"It seems that I have to go to the Wang's house tonight......" Jiang Ming said to himself in his heart.

"You don't want to participate in this tournament, do you?" Walking on the way out, Wang Qi asked Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and nodded noncommittally, he didn't need to hide it from Wang Qi, and the people of Hidden Dragon also knew that he was collecting all kinds of refining and healing materials.

"You have to think clearly, this conference is not so simple."

Needless to say, Jiang Ming himself understands that there are so many strongmen here, even if Jiang Ming goes all out, he may not be able to win, not to mention that his identity cannot be exposed, and he can't even show his strongest combat power.

"Don't worry, I have my own way!" Jiang Ming smiled slightly.

Seeing him like this, Wang Qi seemed to let go of some heart, Jiang Yue was not a reckless person, he would not take risks without a certain certainty, since he said so, he must have his own way.

The two walked through a tortuous underground tunnel, and finally returned to the bustling market, and when the two came out, the emaciated man immediately greeted them.

"Can the two of you exchange for spirit stones?" The emaciated man asked with a smile.

Jiang Ming nodded lightly, and then ignored him and walked outside with Wang Qi.

The city is still crowded with people, full of cultivators, and it seems very crowded when walking in the crowd.

"Boss, why don't we go shopping, I see it's so lively here, maybe we can meet something good?" At this time, in Jiang Ming's chest, a furry guy came out, it was Xiaoyu.

Jiang Ming directly stuffed him into his clothes, what this guy said soundly, what he wanted to do Jiang Ming was clear in his heart.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from not far away, Jiang Ming raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that there was a lot of people gathered there, and there seemed to be some kind of fighting.

"What's going on?"

"It seems to be the second son of the city lord's family, and this son-in-law seems to be in trouble with someone......"

…………

There were a few people next to Jiang Ming who were talking in a whisper, and when they heard these words, Jiang Ming suddenly became interested.

He was worried about how to get the Fire Cloud Lotus, but he didn't expect to meet the second son of the city lord's family here, it seemed that this was an opportunity.

"Check it out." Jiang Ming said softly, and then walked towards the place where the incident happened in front of them with Wang Qi.

Xiao Yu, who heard the movement, also poked out his head to look, Jiang Ming walked over, and saw that in the middle of the crowd, a young man was stepping on another person's body.

The man's expression was very arrogant, and there were two followers behind him, Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, seeing that the man in front of him should be the so-called second son, he didn't expect that the power of this city defender was so big, and even the two followers around the son were the cultivation of the early stage of the Lingzun, and this kind of background was not weaker than a third-class cultivation force.

"Hmph, I don't know if I'm dead or alive, you dare to grab what Young Master Ben likes." The second son stomped on the head of the man on the ground, and did not forget to spit on the man's body as he spoke.

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, it seems that this son's usual style is very high-flying, like a small landlord.

"Alas, this guy is unlucky, knowing that this second young master is not easy to mess with, he still wants to rob him of ......"

"yes, isn't it just relying on the essence powder, it's not worth it to put your life on the line for this kind of thing."

………………

There were other people next to him who were talking in whispers, and when they heard these words, Jiang Ming immediately understood what was going on.

He looked up at a stall on the ground, where the stall owner was holding a white vial, and he didn't seem to expect it to turn out like this.

Imperial powder is a kind of makeup product used by women such as rouge made of special materials, which can keep the user youthful for longer.

Even as a cultivator, you will gradually age with time, and although this aging is much slower than that of ordinary people, sooner or later there will be such a day.

There are some female cultivators in the monastic world who love beauty, and in order to maintain their youthful and beautiful appearance, they have developed such things as Imperial Essence Powder, which has no auxiliary effect other than weakening the aging of human faces.

This kind of thing is very chicken, and it doesn't come out too much for cultivators, and generally some female cultivators like such things. (To be continued.) )
