Lin Xiuyuan and his entourage walked through the town and walked on the wilderness, they had already left Gu Yanzhou and officially stepped into the land of Gu Jizhou, which was one step closer to Haoran Academy.

And their next destination is the Kaiyuan City, which is very famous in the entire Guyongzhou!

Kaiyuan City, as one of the very prosperous ancient cities in ancient Yongzhou, Kaiyuan City is very famous in the entire Kyushu, and the reason is that he is the word Kaiyuan.

There are three kinds of coins, Ping'an copper coins, Tai Sui silver coins, and Kaiyuan coins, and the last one is the most special, but also the rarest Kaiyuan money, ninety percent of which are from this Kaiyuan city.

Therefore, there is also a name for this place, which is called 'Golden City'.

Due to the particularity of Kaiyuan City, it has also become one of the most densely populated towns for cultivators.

When Lin Xiuyuan and his party came to the gate of Kaiyuan City, they saw a neat line of black-armored sergeants, standing on both sides of Kaiyuan City, and on the wall of Kaiyuan City, there were two men dressed as Confucians, sitting at the head of the city on both sides, looking like they were reading on the city wall, but Xu Yuanyou quietly told a few people that those two were Confucian monks who had reached the realm of slaying demons, and the reason why they were sitting at the head of the city was to deter those cultivators who came here.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't have much curiosity about this, and led everyone to follow the crowd into Kaiyuan City, and as soon as he entered the city, he felt the excitement of Kaiyuan City.

The sound of street vendors and the crowds of people coming and going all show that the prosperity of this place is not weaker than that of Kyoto Castle.

They followed the crowd all the way forward, Lin Xiuyuan had previously learned from the little monk that the Confucian enlightenment ceremony would not start until two days away, and he had arrived a day early at the moment, so he was going to find an inn to stay in first, and then see the situation.

Xu Yuanyou naturally has no opinion on this, he will support any decision Lin Xiuyuan makes, including the move to come to Kaiyuan City, let alone such a trivial matter.

Qi Chun has always been worried about not being able to treat guests last time, so as soon as he arrived in the city, he shouted that he wanted to invite guests to drink again, and received strong support from Xu Yuanyou, but was denied by Lin Xiuyuan.

He knew how bad this kid's wine was after drinking, and he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to do the same thing again.

Just as he was looking around for the inn, a sturdy figure like a small tower came to him, which attracted his attention.

Wu Xiu?

Lin Xiuyuan just glanced at the other party, and he was keenly aware of the faint power of qi and blood on the other party's body, his eyes lit up, and it was the first time since Kyoto that he met a martial artist.

It's a pity that the other party didn't seem to be aware of his existence, but walked past everyone without squinting, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at it, a little disappointed, if the other party noticed him just now, he really had the heart to talk.

Xu Yuanyou glanced at him and said:

"That person doesn't seem to be simple."

Lin Xiuyuan asked:

"You can also see that the other party is Wu Xiu."

Xu Yuanyou nodded and said:

"I did see it, the key is that I couldn't see clearly, the cultivators in this world, unless after crossing the fifth realm, humanity is one, and heaven and earth are imperceptible, otherwise, there are very few people who can't see through."

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, Xu Yuanyou dared to say this, naturally he had a reason, it seemed that the man just now was not simple.

"Lin Gongzi, Xu Daoyou."

A voice suddenly came not far away, interrupting the conversation between the two, and the group turned their heads to look, and followed the direction of the sound, and found that the sound came from the second floor of an inn.

A bald-headed little monk was waving his hand, smiling and shouting to a few people, it turned out to be a little monk who forgot his worries, not only that, but next to the little monk, there was also a relatively cold young man, carrying a broad-bladed long sword, naturally it was the sword cultivator Li Fanxing.

Xu Yuanyou smiled:

"It's really like I don't meet in my life, and we meet again so soon."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't have these inexplicable feelings of his, the other party was going to Kaiyuan City, but he set off a little earlier than them, and it was normal to meet here, if he didn't meet him, it was really abnormal.

But Lin Xiuyuan and his entourage still came to the inn under the guidance of the little monk, Qi Chun opened his mouth to ask for six upper rooms, but the shopkeeper said with a sad face:

"This son, because there has been a major event in Kaiyuan City in the past two days, we have already been overcrowded here, there are still six upper rooms there, and there are only three rooms left, you see, do you want to squeeze in?"

Qi Chun was a little dissatisfied and said:

"Master is the kind of person who can be wronged, you don't have it here, I'll go to another house, a huge Kaiyuan City, I don't believe in your inn."

But the shopkeeper said:

"This little boy, I can't hide it, there are a lot of inns in Kaiyuan City, but I can tell you very responsibly, don't talk about our family, this will be overcrowded in the entire Kaiyuan City, no matter which one you go to, you can't find housing, just the three rooms I have here, they are still those few guests who have something to do temporarily, and they happen to be vacant when they want to leave here."

Lin Xiuyuan frowned slightly, he didn't expect that an enlightenment ceremony could attract so many people, even the inn was so nervous.

The little monk also came down from the upstairs at this moment and said:

"The shopkeeper didn't lie, this Kaiyuan City, it's really hard for you to find a place to live. A few of them were a little slow. ”

Lin Xiuyuan frowned and said:

"It doesn't matter if there are three rooms, the main thing is that we have women here, and it is inconvenient to live together, which is a trouble."

The little monk said:

"It's okay, it's okay, the little monk still has free time, you can let one person go to live with me, and it's solved."

Lin Xiuyuan smiled:

"Then thank you little master."

The little monk folded his hands and returned the salute, but said with a smile in his mouth:

"Lin Gongzi invited the little monk to drink, and he hasn't thanked him yet, so he doesn't have to be so polite."

Li Fanxing, who came down with Forget Worries, said at this moment:

"There is a battle to the sky today, I have discussed with Forget Worry before, we want to go together to join in the fun, if you are interested, you can go with us after you pack up."

Lin Xiuyuan said curiously:

"What is the Ascending Battle?"

Xu Yuanyou explained:

"There is a nine-story cloud tower in Kaiyuan City, which is the evolution of a divine soldier left by a venerable, there are nine layers, each of which will have a mysterious existence, if there are cultivators who log into the tower, each upper layer, you can get a point of mystery in the tower, the higher you climb, the more you get, it is said that if someone can climb to the top of the nine-story tower, you can pocket this nine-story cloud tower. And there will be an enlightenment ceremony in Kaiyuan City every ten years, and before that, the nine-layer cloud tower will also be opened, so that cultivators who come here will have the opportunity to climb the tower, and those who can climb to the highest will receive five Kaiyuan coins presented by Kaiyuan City. It was named Ascending to the Heavens. ”

Li Fanxing also said:

"It can be said that there are so many people here, and most of them are rushing to the sky, but not many of them actually participate in the enlightenment ceremony."

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, and then said:

"Is this nine-story cloud tower difficult to climb?"

Little Monk says:

"It is said that this tower has its own spirituality, only monks below the five realms are allowed to climb the tower, and the age cannot exceed thirty years old, and it will have different tests for everyone who enters the tower, and the test is that the higher the tower, the more difficult it is, the people who can climb the fifth floor are all extremely talented, and those who go up to the sixth floor can be described as the existence of one in ten thousand, and those who can climb the seventh floor seem to have only two or three people in total, and the eighth and ninth floors behind have never heard of anyone climbing there."

Xu Yuanyou smiled:

"The last two layers, it's not that you can go up with high talent, and there are also great requirements for cultivation and strength, this tower is actually a bit of a bully, because the strength required for the last two layers basically has to cross the five realms, but it doesn't allow people on the five realms to enter the tower, so, hehe..."

His words immediately made everyone understand why no one could climb to the top, no wonder, this is a complete dead end.

Lin Xiuyuan thought about it and said:

"Anyway, it's all here, this kind of excitement is not in vain, you wait a while, after we pack up, let's go and have a look together."

Li Fanxing and the little monk both nodded slightly, and Lin Xiuyuan took Qi Chun and his party, under the leadership of Xiao Er, and walked towards the second floor.

After a while, they came down again, Lin Xiuyuan was not going to take Qi Chun with them, after all, they had never stepped into cultivation, and there was no point in going, but these three people were surprisingly unanimous in asking to go with them to see the excitement, Lin Xiuyuan had no choice but to take them with him.

The group walked out of the inn in a mighty way, and under the guidance of Li Fanxing, they began to walk in the direction of the so-called ascending to the sky.

In fact, that place is very conspicuous, after all, the nine-story cloud tower, standing tall, is a unique existence in the entire Kaiyuan City.

Lin Xiuyuan looked at it from afar, the whole cloud tower stood majestically, simple and unreal, from the outside, there was no mystery, only a sense of the vicissitudes of history with a long history.

By the time everyone came to the Cloud Tower, it was already crowded with people, and almost all of them were cultivators, and the rich aura fluctuated, if it weren't for the control of the magic circle in Kaiyuan City, the qi here would have become scattered.

Lin Xiuyuan was outside the crowd and could see very clearly, in front of the Cloud Tower, there were two Confucian disciples who were registering, and in front of them, there were eager cultivators, all looking in the direction of the Cloud Tower, with both longing and nervousness in their eyes.

More people raised their eyes to look at a stone tablet next to the Cloud Tower, which had the inscription of the Cloud Tower and a few small red dots, located on different floors of the Cloud Tower, which were flickering slightly.
