Chapter 8: The Blood Moon Castle
Outside the port, there is also a huge square, the square is distributed with all kinds of shops, restaurants, and buying houses, each of which is particularly gorgeously decorated, and the appearance of the whole is a faint blue, which is just the color of the boundless sea.
The plaques of these buildings have a small sign, most of them in ancient characters, some of which are delphinium and a blood moon motif, but these are much less numerous.
This discovery also made Cui Ning amazed.
Seeing Cui Ning's doubts, Steward Zhou also volunteered to play the role of a commentator:
"These ancient characters are all family names on the Ethereal Island, and in addition to the owner family and the guardian family on the island, there are about a dozen middle-class immortal cultivation families.
"And that Feiyan pattern represents the Xie family, which originated from the spirit beast Feiyan domesticated by their family.
"The last blood moon pattern is the family emblem of our Zhou family, symbolizing that the rise of the Zhou family was accompanied by the appearance of the blood moon, and now as long as you see the blood moon pattern, people seem to see the Zhou family."
Steward Zhou talked about his family, with a sense of pride on his face, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Looking at these signs, Cui Ning roughly counted, basically the business of this square is taken over by several major families.
In particular, the Zhou family's blood moon pattern was only a little less than the Feiyan symbol, which made him think a little higher about the Zhou family's power.
In contemplation, Cui Ning followed Steward Zhou to a building near the exit of the square, this building is in the shape of a five-story pagoda, and the plaque of the building reads "Royal Beast Walking", which also has a blood moon pattern on it.
After listening to Steward Zhou's introduction, Cui Ning understood that this was the place where the Zhou family used to rent and sell spirit beasts to the outside world.
And after every ordinary child of the Zhou family returns, they will hire some spirit beasts here to travel to the family.
Even some of the disciples who were already low-level immortal cultivators liked to ride all kinds of spirit beasts, which seemed extremely majestic.
By the time Cui Ning and Steward Zhou reappeared, the two of them had already appeared on the body of a four-headed person, and then they rushed along an incomparably wide avenue outside the square towards the depths of the island.
On the road outside the square, there were countless spirit beasts of all kinds, and the four things that Cui Ning and Steward Zhou rode were not inconspicuous at all.
In this way, Cui Ning and Steward Zhou turned into a few more small roads after passing through several large towns, and the number of monks and mortals on the roads gradually became fewer.
After seven or eight hours, Si Buxiang finally took Cui Ning and Steward Zhou to a huge palace.
This is a very quaint palace, the whole body is pale red, and there are only four guards at the gate of the palace, and these guards let the two of them go after checking Steward Zhou's token.
Cui Ning was stunned, he couldn't imagine the dignified Yuanying family, but the guards were not as strict as he imagined.
As a result, as soon as he entered the main hall, several spiritual senses swept around Cui Ning's body, and it was not until Steward Zhou registered Cui Ning's information with the housekeeper on duty in the main hall that these probing spiritual senses disappeared one by one, especially the spiritual consciousness comparable to Jindan, which almost made Cui Ning turn around and escape.
After registering the information, Steward Zhou also began to confirm the harvest, since the previous resources have been handed over to the port's acquisition bank, so now he only needs to confirm it in the register.
Since these involve the merits and assessments of ordinary disciples like Steward Zhou, they are naturally sloppy.
Therefore, after Steward Zhou confirmed it three times, he introduced Cui Ning into a white light prohibition in the main hall with an apologetic smile.
After a familiar feeling of dizziness, Cui Ning and Steward Zhou came to the entrance of a mountain villa.
Seeing the environment he was in at the moment, Cui Ning was stunned in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this Zhou family also had a teleportation ban, which was worthy of being a family with the power of Yuan Ying.
After pondering for a moment, Cui Ning began to look at the surroundings of the villa.
The villa in front of you is built on a low hill that is not particularly steep, and a huge ancient castle with a pale red glow can be faintly seen on the peak.
The castle is supported by large and ornate columns depicting intricate and exotic beasts, which are carved with a high level of skill and give a sense of immersion.
The length and width of the ancient castle are seven or eight hundred zhang, it looks magnificent, the middle is the square main fort, there is a huge blood moon pattern on the main fort, on both sides are six conical huge corner towers, and there is a river around the castle like a moat.
Behind the castle is a dense mountain forest, which is lush with many tall trees, and there are many small houses in the middle of the forest.
In front of the ancient castle is a sheep intestine path, and on both sides of the path there is a huge spiritual grass garden, in which all kinds of rare and exotic grasses grow, such as snow lotus, golden silk grass, longevity mushroom, Qingling flower and so on.
There was clearly a prohibition in the sky above the Spirit Grass Garden on both sides, enveloping these Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass. Under the sunlight, the light mask showed pale cyan ripples.
Further down the path was the entrance to the manor, where stood a tall tower, each with four heavily armed armorers, and beside them a huge bow and crossbow, emitting a cold light.
"This is the Zhou family!"
Cui Ning was also shocked in his heart, although the ancient castle of the Zhou family was not as majestic as the Qingfeng Hall of Qingfeng Pavilion, but it was comparable to the pavilions and pavilions of any sub-island.
Cui Ning was still in shock, and Steward Zhou on the side laughed:
"Immortal Master, please go to my residence to rest for a while, and when I report to the deacon of the main castle, the Immortal Master can officially join the Zhou family and become an enshriner in the worship room!"
When Cui Ning heard this, he also came back to his senses from the shock, and replied lightly: "Since this is the case, then ask Steward Zhou to lead the way." ”
Seeing the strong interest in the ancient castle in Cui Ning's eyes, Steward Zhou also appropriately shifted the topic to the ancient castle.
"The Blood Moon Castle is where the Zhou family's sons and daughters are located, the Zhou family's relatives only recognize the children who have cultivation qualifications, and those who have not shown the cultivation qualifications at the age of ten, even if you are the direct bloodline of the family master, will be driven into the house in the mountains and forests, just like me." After Steward Zhou finished speaking, he looked a little lonely.
Hearing the complaining meaning in Steward Zhou's words, Cui Ning's heart moved, thinking that this person was also a direct family member before he came, but because he had no spiritual root, he could only do some business for ordinary people.
So he snorted and asked Steward Zhou: "It turns out that it is called the Blood Moon Castle, I don't know if the ancestor of the Zhou family is in that castle!" ”
"Naturally, the old man is not here, he must have gone to cultivate, how can the whereabouts of the Yuan Infant be known to you and me."
The infant ancestor of the Zhou family was the second uncle who was the head of the Zhou family at the time, so the Zhou family was also affectionately called the second ancestor.
So the two of them walked through the sheep intestine path in casual conversation and came to a mountain forest behind the ancient castle.
When the two of them were moving forward, there were also streamers flying in and out of the ancient castle, and it seemed that these were the immortal cultivators of the Zhou family.
When they arrived at the housekeeper's house, a large crowd came to greet him. It is said to be a house, but it is a large mansion, and there are also family members of Steward Zhou who also have no qualifications to cultivate immortals.
Refusing Steward Zhou's arrangement to send a maid to serve, Cui Ning chose a slightly remote house and began to rest.
For the next month, Cui Ning meditated and rested in this house, and then ate some of the various pills and ingredients that Steward Zhou sent to replenish qi and blood, which was the only thing he took the initiative to ask Steward Zhou.
After all, now he is penniless, and he can only rely on Steward Zhou, who wants to please him, to obtain those heavenly treasures that increase the power of qi and blood.
These things of qi and blood are just a drop in the bucket for Cui Ning, but they are better than nothing, and they can only hope that Xiuwei can recover one day sooner.
Time flies, and in a flash, it is two years.
Cui Ning's cultivation had actually recovered to the twelfth layer of the Qi Cultivation Period, and as for the Body Alchemy Technique, it was even more complete than before, and it must not take long to advance to the realm of the third order of Body Refining.
This also made Cui Ning's heart a little more steady.
