The deputy city lord of Cangyuan Immortal City is named Geng Zhong, and he has been cultivating for more than 600 years on the second floor of Jindan.

Geng Zhong has followed Cangyuan Sanren since the time of the Purple Mansion Period, because he had made meritorious contributions to the establishment of Cangyuan Immortal City, and Cangyuan Sanren specially accepted him as a registered disciple, and helped a lot when he was married.

Over the years, Geng Zhong has also been loyal to help the Cangyuan people take care of all kinds of internal affairs in Cangyuan Immortal City, and even his cultivation has fallen a lot behind for this.

In Geng Zhong's heart, he had long regarded Cangyuan Immortal City as his own bag, and as soon as Cangyuan Sanren sat down, he could rightfully take over this immortal city.

When the time comes, there is the entire immortal city as the foundation, coupled with his painstaking management for so many years, the Geng family he has built single-handedly is not without the opportunity to become the kind of Jindan family that has been inherited for thousands of years.

After Cangyuan Sanren returned from being injured on the battlefield, Geng Zhong was the first to visit and deliver medicine.

In addition to showing his loyalty, his main purpose in doing this was, of course, to observe the true injuries of the Cangyuan Sanren in order to judge how long he would have to wait before he could take over Cangyuan Immortal City.

The result of the visit at that time made him very happy in his heart, because according to his judgment, even if Cangyuan Sanren's injury could be recovered, it would definitely affect the remaining Shouyuan, causing him to sit down some time earlier.

And when he asked people to secretly spread the news, the number of monks in Cangyuan Immortal City who secretly took refuge in him and expressed their loyalty increased a lot at once, and some people who were indifferent to his various solicitation hints before were also shaken and no longer rejected his solicitation.

Therefore, before Zhou Yang's arrival, for Geng Zhong, the situation in Cangyuan Immortal City could be described as improving.

But now, with the arrival of Zhou Yang, as the news of Li Mubai and Zhou Guangxiang's engagement spread throughout the city, this positive situation has deteriorated to the extreme in an instant.

One day, just one day, Geng Zhong received more bad news than he had received in the past hundred years!

The monks who had come to him so quickly were now betrayed just as quickly.

Even some of the monks who had been loyal to him were panicked at this time, and they didn't know what to do.

Cangyuan Immortal City is a scattered cultivation city, yes, but there is not only scattered cultivation here, the entire immortal city has been developed for hundreds of years, and several Zifu families and dozens of foundation building families have appeared in it.

These immortal cultivation families are the foundation of Cangyuan Sanren and Geng Zhong's rule of the immortal city, and the immortal city is also because of these immortal cultivation families to help build and undertake various functions, so that it can maintain normal operation.

Therefore, even if Geng Zhong is a meritorious figure who single-handedly participated in the establishment of Cangyuan Immortal City, if he wants to inherit this immortal city logically in the future, he also needs to win over these immortal cultivation families and gain their support.

Before Zhou Yang's arrival, Geng Zhong had already won the support of more than half of these people, which can be said to be a general trend.

But now, there are less than 20% of the monks who can still be summoned to come to him for deliberations!

"The shaft is abominable!"

"I didn't expect that the person who ruined my big thing in the end turned out to be Li Mubai, the shaft!"

"If I had known that Zhou Guangxiang had this background, how could I let him Li Mubai hug a beauty?

Geng Zhong's hatred is like wanting to break Li Mubai's body into pieces that have ruined his good deeds.

He has been planning things for hundreds of years, but he was ruined by a junior who he has always looked down on, if it weren't for the fact that Cangyuan Sanren was still alive, he would have rushed to the Li family and killed Li Mubai.

"It's not over!"

"I, Geng Zhong, have been waiting for hundreds of years, how can I give up because of a few of you juniors?"

"Isn't it the registered disciple of the Yuan Infant Monk? I, Geng Zhong, don't I have no backer!"

The cold light flashed in his eyes, Geng Zhong forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and his face returned to a flat face and began to calm down those supporters who were at a loss.

Zhou Yang didn't expect that he, who had not yet married Dan, would already have such a great influence.

Cangyuan Immortal City was surging, of course he would not be unaware of it, and even on the day when the news of the engagement spread, many families in the Immortal City sent people to visit him with gifts.

Except for a family that completely fell to Geng Zhong, several Zifu families also sent him invitations, inviting him to come and preach for the younger generations of the family.

This change made him cry and laugh a little.

He first came to Cangyuan Immortal City, originally to avoid these entertainments, but he didn't expect that after going around and around now, he went back again.

But fortunately, he is not as good as in the past, these families in Cangyuan Immortal City are not those big families and big forces that he needs to avoid after seeing them.

Therefore, for those gifts sent to the door, he accepted them in full, and asked Qin Yue'er to open a gift list to make a record.

He also figured it out now, since Qin Yue'er couldn't kill or drive her away, he would simply use her as a maid.

It is better to keep her under your nose in this way, and to monitor her every move, than to let her do some intrigues behind her back.

As for those invitations, he politely declined them all on the grounds that he wanted to retreat and participate in the Jindan Dao.

In fact, he wasn't completely excused by this, because he really planned to retreat for a period of time to refine the "Three Turns Pure Yuan Pill" in his hand in order to purify his own mana.

As a fifth-order elixir that even Yuan Infant Cultivators need to owe favors to get it, the role of the "Three Turns Pure Yuan Pill" is definitely not exaggerated.

After Zhou Yang's cultivation reached the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion, his cultivation could no longer improve even a slight, but after he took the "Three Transformations Pure Yuan Pill", his mana was condensed and purified because of this, and he was purified by nearly two percent!

According to what Han Xiao, the head of the Qingyuan Sword Sect said at the beginning, after a ninth-layer monk of the Purple Mansion took the "Three Transformations Pure Yuan Pill", his mana could be purified by two to three percent.

The reason why Zhou Yang only purified less than two percent was not because there was a problem with the elixir he was taking, but because his mana itself was more refined than ordinary monks of the same level after being tempered by the "Qianyang Immortal Light", and the benefits obtained after taking the elixir now were naturally smaller.

Despite this, he couldn't be more satisfied with the effect of the "Three Transformations of Pure Yuan Dan".

Now, in terms of mana refinement and purity, I am afraid that there will not be any monk who can compare with him during the Purple Mansion period, not even a monk who has also taken the "Three Transformations Pure Yuan Pill".

And the purer the mana, the easier it will be in the process of the first step of the knot, "Condensing the Dan".

This is also the reason why Zhao Hao originally said that the "Three Turns Pure Yuan Dan" is a treasure that can improve the success rate of the Dan.

Originally, after the mana was purified, Zhou Yang could take advantage of the situation to try the pill again, but unfortunately it was less than three years since he last tried to form the pill, and the impact of the failure of the pill in the dantian has not been completely eliminated, so he can only suppress this idea for the time being and put his energy on other things.

He first took out the fifth-order lower-grade magic weapon "Binghuo Thunder Bottle" that he had obtained with the "Three Turns Pure Yuan Dan".

After refining this magic weapon, it can release a fire-type divine thunder "C-fire divine thunder" to attack, and its power is much stronger than ordinary fourth-order high-grade thunder-based spells, but compared with the real fifth-order thunder-based spells, it is far inferior.

In fact, this magic weapon is a bit of a chicken for the Jindan period monks, because its attack power is not much threat at all in the Jindan period monks' fighting methods.

And because it takes a lot of mana to urge this magic weapon to release the "C-Fire Divine Thunder", if the Purple Mansion Period monks practice this magic weapon, it will not take many times for the "C-Fire Divine Thunder" to be drained, so that its effect on the Purple Mansion Period monks is not particularly obvious.

It is precisely because of this that the monks of the upper and lower realms do not use it very much, so it will be used as a reward for Zhou Yang.

As a fourth-order high-grade refiner, Zhou Yang certainly understood the problem with this "Cylene Fire Thunder Bottle" magic weapon, but because he was quite interested in various thunder magic powers, he didn't mind spending some time refining this magic weapon.

Speaking of which, although the battle on the battlefield of death was dangerous, it also allowed Zhou Yang to obtain a lot of treasures.

Especially in the last battle, he suddenly broke out and killed his opponent, causing the two fifth-order spirit runes and one rune treasure on the opponent's body, as well as a treasure that sealed the magical powers of the Jindan period monks, all fell into his hands and became a powerful hole card in his hand.

With these treasures in his hands, coupled with the fifth-order mid-grade defensive magic weapon "Xuan Turtle Shield" that he had refined, even if he encountered an attack from that kind of Jindan early stage cultivator, he could calmly use the "Blood Escape Technique" to escape after a few moves.

In other words, even if he didn't rely on Xu Song's external force now, if he met a Jindan early stage monk, as long as the other party was not the kind of fierce person who had refined a fifth-order high-grade magic weapon or cultivated some kind of powerful supernatural power, he could easily save his life and retreat.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is seven years.

In the past seven years, Zhou Yang has successively refined the three fifth-order magic weapons, namely the "Binghuo Thunder Bottle", the "Thunderbolt Golden Light Divine Shuttle", and the Spirit Beast Ring, and has also cultivated the talisman making technique to the fourth-order middle grade.

And seven years have passed, and the injuries suffered by Cangyuan Sanren on the battlefield of the death match have finally eased a lot, and they have already come out of the customs to deal with affairs.

Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai's wedding, which had been delayed for seven years, officially began to be planned because of the exit of Cangyuan Sanren.

Before the wedding, Zhou Yang first went to visit the other party in the cave of Cangyuan Sanren.

At the beginning of the deathmatch battlefield, Cangyuan Sanren also witnessed him kill three opponents in a row, and he also witnessed Cangyuan Sanren survive the self-explosion of his opponent Jin Dan.

When the two officially met for the first time, they recalled this incident to each other, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, and they both had a sense of sympathy.

"Hahaha, when the old man saw Zhou Xiaoyou's heroic appearance of winning three games in a row, he said to the colleagues next to him that one day he must invite Zhou Xiaoyou to drink and get to know him, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon, and you and I actually got married!"

In the cave house, after meeting Zhou Yang for the first time, Cangyuan Sanren laughed heartily, took the initiative to laugh loudly, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yang's arm and sat next to the tea table, waved very kindly, took out a jar of treasured spirit wine from the storage ring, patted the mud and poured a bowl of spirit wine for Zhou Yang.

Then he picked up the spirit wine and handed it to Zhou Yang and laughed: "Come, Zhou Xiaoyou, let's drink this cup and make a bowl of this wonderful fate between you and me!"

Zhou Yang didn't expect that Cangyuan Sanren, who was already more than 800 years old, still had such a bloody and bold energy, which was really old and strong, which was admirable.

Therefore, after he was stunned for a while, he was also aroused, and he didn't care about any politeness, so he directly took the wine bowl and said loudly: "Okay, the juniors will first salute the seniors Li with a bowl, and toast to the seniors for your safe exit!"

After speaking, he directly picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and he was bored in one gulp.

Seeing this, Cangyuan Sanren suddenly smiled more happily on his face, and then poured himself a bowl of wine and took a sip.

In fact, this kind of thing of two strange monks drinking the spirit wine or spirit tea given by the other party as soon as they met is a very risky thing in the world of cultivating immortals, because no one knows whether the other party will put any poison in the spirit wine or spirit tea.

It must be known that there are many strange poisons in the immortal cultivation world, even the Jindan period monks can't detect it, and they can't be immune, once poisoned, their strength will be greatly reduced if they don't die, and then they will be allowed to be mermaids.

However, Zhou Yang dared to drink the spirit wine of Cangyuan Sanren, also because he knew that if the other party really wanted to deal with him, he didn't need to poison it at all.

And he is still a registered disciple of Guo Jinhong, a monk in the Yuan Infant Period, unless Cangyuan Sanren is crazy, it is impossible to attack him without injustice or hatred.

But no matter what, Zhou Yang's unhesitating attitude still made Cangyuan Sanren feel very comfortable, because it fully represented Zhou Yang's trust in him, so he smiled even more.

In this way, while drinking wine, the two chatted about various topics in a homely manner, and they got along very well.

In the end, the two chatted and chatted, but they still talked about Zhou Guangxiang and Li Mubai, two juniors.

I saw that after Cangyuan Sanren poured a large bowl of spiritual wine, he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly said with emotion on his face:

"Speaking of which, when Mu Bai's kid chased Zhou Xiaoyou's niece at the beginning, the old man didn't approve of it very much, because the old man originally wanted him to marry a daughter of the Geng family, so that the old man would sit down in the future, Geng Zhong should not be too much to the Li family in terms of the old man's past feelings and his own juniors!"

"But the old man also appreciates Zhou Xiaoyou's words very much, the affairs of the juniors, of course, are first of all based on their own preferences!"

"The original intention of our immortal cultivators is to pursue immortality, if we go against this original intention, then what's the point of living? It's just a flesh and blood puppet with no self-awareness!"

Zhou Yang heard what he said, and guessed that he should be talking about the fact that in order to repay his kindness, he couldn't help himself to replace others on the battlefield of death fighting.

This matter involved another infant monk, and even though he had always been bold, he did not dare to express any opinion rashly.

However, he remembered another thing, and immediately raised his hand, took out a jade box, handed it over, and said: "I heard that Senior Li, the injury on your body is not light, and the junior has a fifth-order lower grade spirit pill [Returning to Heaven and Continuing Life Pill] here, maybe it can help the senior's injury, this thing should be the dowry prepared by the junior for Guangxiang, and I hope not to shirk it!"

This "Heaven Returning Life Pill" was obtained when he killed Zhong Chuming, a monk of the Golden Pill Period of the Imperial Beast Sect, even when he was severely injured by the fifth-order demon beast "Heart Devouring Demon Wolf", he was not willing to use this elixir for healing.

At this time, he took out this treasure as Zhou Guangxiang's dowry and gave it to Cangyuan Sanren to heal his wounds, which shows his love for Zhou Guangxiang.

Ordinary parents still know that the richer the dowry they give, the more important their daughters will be in their son-in-law's family in the future.

Zhou Yang, as Zhou Guangxiang's elder, is heartbroken at this time for this niece to be able to live well in her in-law's family in the future.

When Cangyuan Sanren heard his words at this time, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing:

"Zhou Xiaoyou's hand is really big!"

"Your dowry is so rich, if the old man doesn't give my family Mubai a decent bride price, won't it make people laugh at my Li family?"

After laughing, he also waved his hand and took out a treasure.
