Volume II: Free Assembly, Chapter 40: The Storm

Villefranche, located in the heart of the mainland, is the central point and the only way to get to all parts of the continent.

There are three major families in this city, and their economic power has divided this place into three parts, which is quite a bit like a three-part world, they are the Bai family, the Han family and the Su family.

In the central area of the city, it does not belong to any party, but to the administrator of the city, Makuko Masako.

Cultivators often say that the Scattered Immortal Tribulation is a chance for rebirth given by God to those cultivators who fail to survive the Tribulation during the Tribulation Period.

As the price of rebirth is every thousand years, cross a scattered immortal tribulation, each scattered immortal tribulation is twice as powerful as the previous heavenly tribulation, and as a cultivator who recultivates the scattered immortals after the failure of the tribulation, it is a soul state without physical protection, every thousand years when the scattered immortal tribulation, if it fails, the soul will fly away, and there will be no reincarnation.

Therefore, even if the tribulation period fails, rebuilding the body of the scattered immortals is still a bumpy and rugged road of no return.

As a master of the Eight Scattered Immortal Tribulations, there are many cultivators on the mainland who come to visit real people in Free City, but Makugu real people have an extremely strange temper and don't see anyone.

Hundreds of years ago, there was once a Seven Tribulation Scattered Immortal who came to ask for advice on the success of the tribulation, and waited for ten days outside the Immortal Mansion of the Makugu Zhenren, but still did not see the Makugu Zhenren, and for a while he was angry and attacked the Immortal Mansion of the Makugu Zhenren.

After a day of continuous attacks, Makuko Majin suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, he vomited blood and flew away, and warned him not to enter Liberty City for half a step, otherwise he would be killed.

After this incident, there were significantly fewer cultivators who came here to visit Makuko. Some of them returned to their sects disappointed, while most chose to stay in Liberty City, hoping to meet Makuko one day.

Therefore, Liberty City is one of the most peaceful cities on the mainland, where there are no fights, let alone fights. Here, no matter how strong and fierce you are, you must not fight again, this is an unwritten rule on the mainland.

Despite his eccentric temper and aloofness, he still has a good friend, and that is Xiaoyao Zhen.

Xiaoyao Zhenren is a cultivator who has survived the Seven Tribulations and scattered immortals, as a good friend of the Makugu Zhenren, Xiaoyao Zhenren is the opposite of the indifferent appearance of the Makugu Zhenren, whether it is for ordinary people or for high-ranking cultivators, they are treated equally.

Sometimes you will see him carrying a wine gourd, sitting at the door of the restaurant drinking and chatting with those Lifu, and sometimes he will compete with those scattered immortals in the city who have cultivated to a high level, and often end in a fiasco.

After a long time, no one was willing to compete with Xiaoyao Zhenren anymore, so Xiaoyao Zhenren decided to have a competition with Makugu Zhenren to skip the challenge.

On the mainland, such things are not nothing, but there are too few, and if you don't have any advanced exercises and extremely high spell attainments, you will generally lose.

But no one will forget the stop between Makuko and Xiaoyao Zhenren, they fought for seven days and seven nights in a row, and even the mountain peak where they were located was bombarded to the ground.

In the end, they ended in a draw.

For a while, there was not a single cultivator on the continent who didn't know the name of the Great Escape.

。。。

There is never a shortage of new things in Liberty City, since the last time Tianjianmen was slapped in the face, another incident happened, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm, that is, the eldest son of the Bai family, not long ago obtained a Zhu Guo in the vast mountain, and successfully brought it back to the Bai family.

Although the Bai family also lost some combat power in the process of gaining, the Zhu Guo obtained was also more reaping than losing.

Zhu Guo, as one of the main materials for refining most pills, has a wide range of functions.

For example, the Baizhuan Pill suitable for masters in the Mahayana period has the effect of accelerating the transformation of immortal yuan, and the Ice Heart Pill is suitable for cultivating ice attribute cultivators, which has the effect of strengthening the physique and protecting the heart.

Although Vermilion fruit has a wide range of uses, its growth cycle is particularly long and the quantity is scarce, resulting in a shortage of medicinal materials on the mainland.

After the Bai family obtained the Zhu Guo, the famous masters on the mainland went to Liberty City one after another, intending to exchange it for this Zhu Guo at a high price.

For a while, Liberty City was once again bustling with activity.

The Bai family.

"Father, now that the world knows that my Bai family has obtained Zhu Guo, they have come to ask for it, what should we do?" Bai Sha said to the middle-aged man sitting at the top.

Although he paid a certain price, Bai Sha finally succeeded in bringing Zhu Guo back to the Bai family, which was also worth it.

Originally, the father and son planned to secretly refine Zhu Guo into a Tribulation Pill for their ancestors to use, but they didn't expect that within a few days of bringing it back, it would be known to everyone.

Faced with the exchange requirements of many strong people, the Bai family also had to choose to retreat.

"This matter is really difficult to do, if we refuse these people, they will inevitably be angry with the Bai family, if they are given to them, my Bai family is not reconciled, how can we really be good?" Bai Sha's father, who is also the current head of the Bai family, Bai Yan, said with some distress.

"Father, let's deal with it like this. After a while, the Xuanyin Fantasy Land will open again, and then there will be another large gathering. And we released the news that for the processing of Zhu Guo, we will choose to process the transaction there, and the bid will be won by the one we are satisfied with. ”

In this way, it will not save the other party's face, but also cannot bring us any losses. Although this is the lack of elixir for the Ancestor to deal with the catastrophe, we can choose the items that are beneficial to us among the items traded. Look, how about this method?" After listening to his father's words, Bai Sha thought for a while and hurriedly said his thoughts.

"Okay, this is a good solution, so let's do it. Sha'er, you go down and prepare an announcement to inform everyone who visits. Also, you go and prepare rooms for those who want to stay here. Bai Sha's method made Bai Yan's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but admire.

In this way, you can also take the opportunity to communicate with some masters, and the Bai family wants to go to the next level in the future, and there is still foreign aid.

"Yes, father, the child will do it," said Bai Sha, and turned away.

Han family.

"Bai Yan, an old horseman, is so lucky to get Zhu Guo, it seems that this time their Bai family will increase some of their strength. This is what should we do in the Han family," Han Feng, the head of the Han family, looked at the elders in the house and said.

"This," "Alas... For a while, several elders present looked sad, and they didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a young man stepped forward and said, "Father, and the uncles present don't have to be sad, this matter is easy to handle." We can do this, now there should be a lot of seniors in the Bai family who have come to visit and seek to exchange for Zhu Guo. Presumably they are more worried than we are, and if they make a deal with either side, they will inevitably offend the other forces. ”

"Therefore, I can guarantee that they will have auction-style transactions at future gatherings. So, we can build a good relationship with these seniors during this time. In addition, doesn't my Han family still have a meteorite from the sky, and I will take it out as a gift to those seniors. ”

"What do you think Cheng'er said?" Han Feng was a little happy in his heart when he heard Han Cheng's words, but he still asked the elders below.

After listening to Han Cheng's words, everyone nodded and said "good------

Su family

The Bai family got the news of Zhu Guo, and the Su family also knew about it, and a group of people discussed together how to deal with the Bai family's imminent expansion of power. As the eldest son of the Su family, Su Jin expressed his opinion.

"Now that the Bai family has obtained Zhu Guo, they will definitely take this opportunity to improve their strength, although our Su family has always valued harmony, but if they want to attack us in the future, we can't admit that Xiong is being bullied. Su Jin said.

After hearing this, the great elder of the Su family said, "Jin'er's words make sense, our Su family has always kept a low profile and has never crossed the line, and now the ambition shown by the Bai family is already obvious. Therefore, in the face of the impending crisis, our Su family also has to let the offenders know what pain is. ”------

The city lord immortal mansion

"Xiaoyao, I heard that the Bai family got a vermilion fruit. In the Immortal Mansion, an old man with immortal wind bones sat cross-legged, looking at his energetic complexion, like a middle-aged man in the prime of life.

"Old ghost, what if their Bai family obtained Zhu Guo, are you still afraid of them? It's just something stolen by a hairy boy by means of conspiracy, whether it's a blessing or a curse, they will regret it." Xiaoyao Zhenren looked at Mugu Zhenren with a playful smile on his face.

"It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I'm thinking that the Bai family will definitely take the opportunity to expand their power after this Zhu Guo turmoil, and at that time, with their ambitions, they will definitely annex the other two, and at that time, Freedom City will be in chaos for a while. That's something I don't want to see. Makuko closed his eyes as he spoke, as if something tragic was happening right in front of him, and he couldn't bear to see it.

"Hehe, I said old ghost, when did you become such a mother-in-law. It's not your character. Listening to the words of the real people of Mugu, the real people of Xiaoyao were quite curious.

"It's not long before I cross the Ninth Scattered Immortal Tribulation, and after the Heavenly Tribulation, I will also fly to the Immortal Realm. I've lived here for thousands of years and don't want to see it destroyed. "Thinking that Liberty City will be broken because of the Bai family, the current peaceful situation is a little unbearable.

Looking at the appearance of the real person of Makugu, Xiaoyao Zhenren immediately said, "Don't worry, there is me." They can't make much waves, it's a big deal to let the Bai family disappear. ”

Makuko didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
