Chapter Eighty-Three: The Eighteen Cities Treasure Appreciation Meeting
Stomp
The ironclad sergeant hurried past the street on a black horse, the hooves of which rattled against the bluestone slabs
In just a while, several waves of sergeants rode past Ye Cheng on horseback, and at this time, it was snowing heavily, and the sky and earth were snow-white, and these black-armored sergeants were extremely conspicuous.
These sergeants were all holding yellow flags similar to edicts in their hands, and judging by the direction they were traveling, it seemed that they had come out of the main pavilion of the Qingyu Pavilion.
Ye Cheng looked at the sergeant who was far away, his face was serious, this kind of edict Ye Cheng recognized, it was the emergency summons of the Qingyu Pavilion, the major families in the north, as long as they saw this kind of edict, they must unconditionally respond to the call and receive the order, and they must not disobey.
Because this kind of edict is not an order of the Qingyu Pavilion at all, this is a summoning order that can only be activated with the authorization of the Xuanyu Pavilion, once it is activated, it means that wherever the edict goes, all the families associated with the Qingyu Pavilion, the Purple Jade Pavilion, and the Xuanyu Pavilion will gather.
"It's going to be messed up."
Ye Cheng looked at the gray city wall in the distance, his eyes were deep.
For more than half a month, with the financial and material resources of Qingyu Pavilion, it has naturally been repaired from the city wall, and even the various courtyards in the inner city have been restored as before.
"Urgent summons order, new pavilion master ......"
Ye Cheng whispered to himself, and unconsciously, turning a street, a mansion with the same shape as Ye Cheng appeared in front of him.
In front of the stone lion of the mansion, a black carriage was parked, and two tall black horses were stamping their feet in the snow, gasping for two hot breaths.
"Brother Meng has a guest?"
Ye Cheng was curious, knocked on the door and handed over the post, and a little guy respectfully accepted the invitation, glanced at it and led Ye Cheng towards the mansion.
The covered bridge is winding, although there is heavy snow at this time, but the small lake in Mengfu is not frozen, and the turquoise lake is floating with fine snow foam, and after a while, an octagonal pavilion appears in front of you.
When Ye Cheng arrived at the pavilion, he happened to see Meng Yuan and a red-robed man standing up.
The red-robed man was surrounded by a fox fur, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, slightly chubby, with a round face that looked kind, but his temples were high and protruding, and the people he met in this Qingyu Pavilion were like this in nine out of ten, and he was a master of success
Ye Cheng's single clothes are somewhat nondescript, the current temperature is not to say that dripping water turns into ice, there are always five or six degrees below zero, and it is difficult for ordinary masters to survive if they don't use internal qi to protect themselves.
When the chubby man saw Ye Cheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand at Ye Cheng
"This is none other than Brother Ye Chengye"
"Well, it's Ye Cheng below, and I haven't consulted this brother Tai name yet."
Ye Cheng was a little puzzled, he really counted that it would only take half a year to enter the pavilion, plus the time spent on the task of entering the pavilion and the family, the number of appearances in the pavilion was very rare, except for Meng Yuan, Ye Cheng knew almost no people in the Qingyu Pavilion.
The red-robed man smiled and waved his hand
"No, no, in Xia Gaoman, like Brother Meng Yuan, temporarily added the foreign envoy of Qingyu Pavilion, Brother Ye is a young man, and the prestige of the red iron palm has been spread all over the pavilion."
This last sentence is a compliment, and it is also for Ye Cheng to break the confusion in his heart.
A look of understanding flashed on Ye Cheng's face, red iron palm
"It's just a rumor, it can't be true," Ye Cheng waved his hand
"Brother Ye is modest, and he seriously injured Yang Zhao with one palm, this can't be called a small skill of carving insects."
He thought for a moment, then took out a palm-sized gilded post from his sleeve, put it on the table next to him, and put it next to another same gilded post.
"Since Brother Meng and Brother Ye still have something to talk about, Gao won't bother much, and after three days, I will wait for the two of you to come."
Gao Man arched his hand at Meng Yuan, and then gestured to Ye Cheng
"Brother Xian, wait a minute, I'll send Brother Gao out of the house" Meng Yuan and Ye Cheng said hello and sent Gao Man out.
The view from the pavilion is excellent, the lake is a vermilion winding covered bridge, and the shore is farther away with dry branches covered with snow, and the surroundings are extremely quiet, only the sound of snow can be heard.
A moment later, Meng Yuan returned
"Just out of customs?"
"As soon as I came out, I came directly when I saw the letter, and that one was ...... just now."
"Like me, foreign envoy, but the Gao family is a big businessman in addition to the famous north, your brother can't compare with him, that guy, very fine" Meng Yuan said with a smile
Meng Yuan looked at Ye Cheng carefully, closed his eyes again, and finally smiled bitterly
"How about this retreat, my brother can't even sense what realm you have reached now, transform into a shape."
This time, he encountered the great calamity of the transformation ghost and did not die, and it was not for nothing, half a month of retreat, he broke through to the peak of the condensation realm in one fell swoop, and naturally wanted to celebrate in normal times, but when he saw this little brother like a monster around him, he still had some bad feelings in his heart.
However, Meng Yuan, who was in his early thirties, suddenly felt that he was old, and the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.
"It's a breakthrough," Ye Cheng replied with some tears and laughter.
Then Ye Cheng's face was grim
"Who is the new pavilion master, Song Guan or Wei Yuan"
Of the six deputy pavilion masters of the Qingyu Pavilion, three died with the pavilion master, and one was Zhu You, and now there are only two deputy pavilion masters left in the Qingyu Pavilion, Wei Yuan and Song Guan.
Previously, it had been rumored in the pavilion that the pavilion master would be elected between these two people, and then the Xuanyu Pavilion would give the elixir and promote the new pavilion master to the Tianyuan realm.
"No, this time the matter is too big, and someone was sent down directly, and the old guy in Song Guan is estimated to have a green face" Meng Yuan said with a smile
Ye Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, although he was not afraid of Song Guan, but if he really became the pavilion master, it would be really a bit troublesome, although it was impossible to attack him directly, but with the power held by the pavilion master, there were ways to stumble on him.
"Is there any news about who the new pavilion master is?"
Ye Cheng said curiously
"I don't know, this time the mouth seal on it is very strict, but it is rumored that the new pavilion master came down from the sect above, and directly skipped the Xuanyu Pavilion, not only the pavilion master, but also four or five deputy pavilion masters will also be transferred, and these people all directly skipped the Xuanyu Pavilion of the Northern Spirit Realm, and were sent directly from above, and the background is a little scary"
Meng Yuan took a sip of the wine glass and smacked his lips
"The disciples who can be released from the general sect are at least at the Tianyuan level, and this time the sect is going to move the real thing."
"When I came here just now, I saw a soldier leaving the city with an urgent edict," Ye Cheng said slowly
"This is the edict of the new pavilion master, this pavilion master, before the person arrived, the edict has already been transmitted to the pavilion, and it has directly activated the emergency summoning order that can only be used by the Xuanyu Pavilion, our new pavilion master, is murderous."
Ye Cheng frowned, he was able to directly cross the Xuanyu Pavilion and descend into the air, and he could also directly activate the emergency edict, the background of this new pavilion master should be huge, and this series of actions, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a big war is about to start.
"What about the Black Abyss?"
"The situation is very bad, there have been thousands of ghost disasters in the eighteen cities of the Ice Ocean, and it is said that there are several yin lands that have emerged, and there are powerful ghosts in charge."
Meng Yuan's face was solemn, it was precisely because of the serious shortage of manpower in the Qingyu Pavilion that the emergency edict would be activated
"I also found traces of ghosts in Bac Ninh City before, blatantly causing chaos on the streets, and even my home was infiltrated by ghosts, if I didn't happen to be at home, I'm afraid it would be unpredictable."
Ye Cheng said slowly, the ghost thing that infiltrated the Ye family has an extremely strong ability to conceal, although the Ye family has a first-order rune sword to suppress it, but if that ghost thing sneaks up secretly, Ye Tang may not even have a chance to take the sword.
"Just a few days ago, a report was passed down in the pavilion, the Liu family in Guiyuan City, the Song family in Jiulian City, and the whole clan was annihilated, and these two families are all big clans with transformation masters," Meng Yuan said softly
"What the hell does Hei Yuan want to do" Ye Cheng frowned slightly, looking at the white snow flying outside the pavilion
"Who knows, these damn ghosts," Meng Yuan couldn't help but scold
"In a few days, this Qingyu Pavilion will be lively, as soon as the summons order comes out, the condensation and transformation masters of the nearby eighteen cities will probably gather in the Qingyu Pavilion, although this reason is not very good, but it will also be a rare event in decades."
The Northern Spirit Realm is extremely vast, and although there are one hundred and eight large cities, the distance between the cities is extremely far apart.
The various families associated with Beiling City have the responsibility of guarding the local area, and it is impossible for them to gather together, and even if there is a small-scale exchange between two or three large cities, such a large-scale gathering is basically impossible.
And this Black Abyss Riot finally angered the Xuanyu Pavilion, ready to gather the power of the eighteen great cities to launch a revenge
"According to Brother Meng's estimate, how many people can come this time," Ye Cheng said curiously
Meng Yuan thought for a while before he said slowly, "It's hard to say, but there are always five or six hundred people."
"So many?" Ye Cheng was a little surprised, the Qingyu Pavilion was less than a hundred people, could it be that there were more than five or six hundred condensation masters coming at this time?
"The rules for entering the Qingyu Pavilion are not cultivation, but age, just like our group of people, although they are facing the threat of ghosts now, they can still enjoy the resources in the pavilion, but if they don't break through the transformation forty years ago, they will also be cleared from the pavilion," Meng Yuan explained
"The people who came this time are more or less related to the Qingyu Pavilion, either the masters of the pavilion who have been dismissed, or the descendants of those who have been dismissed."
Meng Yuan picked up the two golden posts on the table, raised them at Ye Cheng, and said with a smile
"Look, that's one of the results of this collection"
"What is this?" Before Ye Cheng came, there was originally a post on the table, which should have been for Meng Yuan, but when Gao Man saw him coming, he took out another one.
The post was obviously for Ye Cheng, but his mind just now was full of things about the new pavilion master and the recent situation, and he didn't care about this.
"The Gao family is a giant businessman who can squeeze a little oil and water out of the cracks of the stone, this time the masters of the Eighteen Cities are gathered, how can they let go of this great business opportunity, the Eighteen Cities Treasure Appreciation Meeting, this is the thing" Meng Yuan shook the golden post in his hand and smiled
"But this is also a good thing, the big war is about to start, everyone communicates with each other, each takes what he needs, and the treasures of the eighteen cities are gathered, which is also a grand event."
Ye Cheng was a little clear, this so-called treasure appraisal meeting was an auction organized by the Gao family, but he didn't care too much, his first priority now was to break through Tianyuan, and all the materials needed for the Nether Talisman could be solved by the Qingyu Pavilion, this auction really didn't mean much to him.
Seeing that Ye Cheng was a little excited, Meng Yuan couldn't help but say
"Brother, don't underestimate this auction, all the people who participated in this auction are masters of the transformation level, it can be said that almost all the good things in the eighteen cities of Bingyang are in their hands, if it weren't for the identity of this foreign envoy, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the invitation to this auction" Meng Yuan said with a wry smile
"Oh, reading the book, is it invisible, will it help break through the treasure of Tian Yuan" Ye Cheng was a little interested.
The process of breaking through the Tianyuan realm is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness is a riot in internal qi, such as Ye Cheng's cultivation of Xuanyang Gong, if Ye Cheng made a mistake when he broke through, causing a Nether Flame riot, then what was waiting for Ye Cheng was the result of being frozen into ice by the Spirit Flame, if he wanted to devour the Spirit Flame, how could there be no risk.
But it is not without ways to reduce the risk, some strange treasures in the heaven and earth can temporarily stimulate the body's potential to assist in breakthroughs, or greatly increase the strength of the body in a short period of time, or can protect the muscles and veins of the whole body when breaking through, minimizing the risk of breakthrough.
The most typical is the Guiyuan Dan, which can double the strength of the physical body in a short period of time, so that the martial artist has a stronger resistance ability
"Uh...... I'm afraid it's a bit hanging."
Meng Yuan's words froze, which of these shape-shifting old monsters didn't think about how to break through the Tianyuan realm day and night, if there was really such a treasure, they must have covered it tightly, how could they take it out for auction.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if you have no hope of breaking through, it will be left to the descendants of the family, in case there is a Tianyuan master in the Heavenly Clan, this is really a glorious ancestor, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven.
"That's it," Ye Cheng was a little disappointed
Looking at Ye Cheng's lack of interest, Meng Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, his old brother really didn't care about anything except martial arts, but from Gao Man's attitude, it could be seen that the outside world had already determined the strength of Ye Chenghua's form realm.
Before I knew it, the sky was already dark, but the snow was falling more and more, and there was no intention of stopping.
After learning about the recent situation, Ye Cheng said goodbye to Meng Yuan, and then went to the Qingyu Pavilion again, exchanged more than a hundred materials for the Netherworld Talisman in one go, and then returned to the mansion.
