The pyramid is not only a wonderful building, but also a profound knowledge.

Someone once said that where there are people, there is class, and the class is divided into levels, which can be divided by a pyramid very vividly.

Take a small Quang Nam Gufang city as an example.

At the bottom of the pyramid are a great number of loose cultivators, who are dominated, oppressed, driven.

The income from their labor can only meet the most basic material needs. Spiritual needs, not for nothing, but for which they cannot be satisfied with their meager income.

At the top of the pyramid are the managers of the Fang City, and the most powerful ones. No matter how they got to this point, as long as they stand here, they are at the top of the food chain.

The oil and water pressed from the bottom of the pyramid naturally flowed into their hands.

They can enjoy the most abundant material things while also satisfying their spiritual needs infinitely.

Compared to the people at the bottom of the pyramid, there are literally two worlds, two species.

The wolf does not live with the sheep, and the strong do not want to be with the weak.

Naturally, these immortal cultivators at the top of the pyramid carved out a place for themselves to live in with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful scenery.

The northeast corner of Gufang City, Quang Nam, is separated by a separate formation, with sufficient aura and beautiful scenery, which is where a group of cultivators in the foundation building period live.

The most central hall is the Great Hall, which is built of white marble.

The walls around it are all carved out of cyan jade. Orchids carved from gold bloom enchantingly among the bluestones, and lilac curtains ripple in the wind.

At this moment, in the main hall, the seven monks had different postures.

On the main seat, Chang Youwei, who is known as the lord of the Fang City, is old enough, and he relies on cultivating immortals to maintain him. These days, because of one thing, my worried hair and beard have fallen off one by one, and my old state is fully revealed.

In front of him, a middle-aged man who had just come back reported the results of the trip dejectedly: "Fang Master, I met the head of the Shangqing faction this time, but ......"

"But what?" Wu Zhongyi leaned forward and stared at him tightly.

"They already know about the flood of demon beasts, but the Immortal Ascension Conference is imminent, and everything has to be postponed. Let's wait for the Immortal Ascension Conference to go to him later. The middle-aged man bowed his head and replied dejectedly.

He knew that this result would not satisfy everyone present, and the prevarication of the Shangqing faction would even make everyone feel angry.

But the people are the three major factions of the Chu State, and they are at most a sitting tiger, and the two are not comparable at all.

Sure enough, Chang Youwei was very annoyed after hearing this, patted his chair and said angrily: "After the Immortal Ascension Conference, the dishes are cold."

You didn't ask if you could arrange the Immortal Ascension Conference to our Quang Nam Valley. We can pay a certain price and invite them to come. ”

The rest of the people in the main hall also frowned, staring at the middle-aged man with inquiring eyes, waiting for his answer.

The middle-aged man glanced up slightly, and Chang Youwei, who was angry on the main seat, silently lowered his head: "I naturally said this."

Our conditions are generous enough, and gathering a large number of monks to strangle the demon wolf is a good thing for the Chu State Immortal Cultivation Realm. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

Chang Youwei is dying, he shouldn't let this person go to act as a lobbyist, it's always like this, who can stand it.

Middle-aged people know that they must be disliked when they say it, and it is not good for them to take responsibility for the failure of acting as a lobbyist.

He replied stumblingly: "However, the head of the Shangqing faction has some old grudges with you." It's the fight for that bottle of pill back then.

He holds a grudge, and if he doesn't harm us, it's good, of course he can't help us. ”

In this way, Chang Youwei also remembered that when he was young, he was indeed in a slight conflict with the old immortal of the Shangqing faction.

Isn't it just a bottle of elixir, it's been almost a hundred years, and I still remember it.

I don't have to say anything about it.

Chang Youwei didn't expect that it was because of his own reasons, but he blamed his subordinates before.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to his original form. It is impossible to apologize and admit mistakes, you can only fool the past and forget it.

I still have to talk about the matter at hand.

Chang Youwei's gaze swept over the rest of the people at eight o'clock, and said, "Let's talk about it, discuss it, and think of a way." ”

This...... There was silence for a moment, and someone stood up and spoke.

"Demon wolves are rampant, and there is a great potential for invasion. Although our Quang Nam Valley is in a dangerous position, it is undoubtedly a reef in the flood in the face of the influx of monsters, and the future is unpredictable.

In my opinion, the Shangqing faction is not good, we can go and find the Moon Worship Gate, the Cliff Gate, and even other sects.

Besides, the invasion of demon beasts is not our family's bad luck, the Wanjia of Wanjialing, and the Yuan family of Yuanjiacheng. They can't just watch it, so they'll have to do their part!"

Chang Youwei nodded in approval, and pulled the other two into the water to advance and retreat together, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and leading the way.

He swept the others with expectant gazes.

Another young monk stood up and said, "We might as well prepare for the worst, if we really can't do anything, can we secretly lead the demon beast in other directions?"

Dead friends do not die poor.

Several people here have deep interests in the market, and while their interests are the same, they are absolutely their own people.

The young monks are not afraid of what will happen to them if they say it themselves.

At most, he said what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

Chang Youwei did not speak, and waited in silence. He hadn't thought so in his heart, but it was inconvenient to speak.

It's not a good thing to do until it is a last resort, and if it leaves a handle, the accountability of the three major factions is not so easy.

The rest of the people also waited in silence, until another old man with eyebrows stood up and said, "If you are willing to give up, it is better to be soft." After so many years, everyone is about to enter the ground, what else can't be let go!"

His words were addressed to Chang Youwei.

The two met when they were young, and after building the foundation, they came here together and started a career.

For more than 100 years, they have made this their home.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

If they could, they would prefer to keep their homes.

Chang Youwei had to pay attention to the persuasion of his old friend, he was silent for a moment and nodded silently.

There was no better proposal, and according to the method discussed at the meeting, Chang Youwei made some arrangements and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone left, except for the young monk.

......

A month later.

At the desk in the guest room, a young man took a few deep breaths, and after his body relaxed, he suddenly picked up his pen and painted.

The brush falls on the paper like a fish returning to the sea, and the pen goes smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, the young man finished the final stroke, and a smile appeared on his face.

A successful fireball talisman is bright and bright, with plenty of aura, and is a great product.

The young man is none other than Qi Yun, who has been practicing for more than a month.

When he returned to Fang City alone, he did not attract the attention of others.

It is not uncommon for monks who go out never to return. No one will pay attention to a small retreat.

Unexpectedly, without finding a potential threat, Qi Yun returned to the inn and began his penance.

Every day, one-third of the time is spent taking the pill penance mana. Another third of the time is spent drawing sigils.

Regardless of the cost, he spent a lot of spirit stones, and his cultivation directly broke through to the seventh layer of qi training, which was not far from the eighth layer.

And the talisman making technique has also made great progress under a lot of practice. Not to mention that it will be successful every time, that is eight out of ten successes.

The odds of success are one or two points better than those of many talisman makers who have been immersed in this art for years.

A series of low-level spell runes, such as fireball spells, ice pick spells, wind blade spells, wind resistance techniques, etc., have accumulated a lot.

Qi Yun specially used a storage bag to hold it, and if he wanted to, he could even use these talismans to open a shop.

Not only can it earn back all the spirit stones it has invested in learning talismans, but it can also make a lot of surpluses.

It's just that the time for the start of the Immortal Ascension Conference is almost up, and he has no intention of doing this.

There was a knock on the door.

Qi Yun reached out and put away the utensils on the table, and then went to open the door.

A pretty face appeared in front of him, it was Su Xiaoman, whom he met that day.

"What are you doing secretly?"

Qi Yun stepped out of the way, Su Xiaoman walked into the room, looked left and right, and asked with a big grin.

Qi Yun closed the door and said calmly: "It's nothing, just draw some runes." ”

These days, the rest of his day is spent looking for fun in the market with this newfound female friend.

There are a lot of novelties in the market, and the entertainment ancestor has made a far-reaching impact on the later immortal cultivators.

In particular, those who refine magic weapons have boldly used their imagination to make a lot of new and interesting magic weapons.

And some people use these magic weapons in movies, in the latest boutique production "All the Way West".

The vibrating stick magic weapon used by the heroine caused the flying stream to plummet down 3,000 feet, which opened Qi Yun's eyes, and he only sighed that the trip was worthwhile.

It's a pity that I watched it alone, and I didn't watch it with two people, so it was more flavorful to practice it.

Compared with ordinary female cultivators, although Su Xiaoman is charming and gentle, she looks like a lady. But the character is the kind of big grin, informal.

The first time she came to the place where Qi Yun lived, she looked left and right, and she was not polite at all.

Sitting on the bed, "Hey, you're pretty good here, it's very comfortable." ”

"It's okay. Qi Yun dealt casually, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and Su Xiaoman's mana became more and more powerful.

"You used the Realm Breaking Pill and broke through?"

Su Xiaoman nodded, in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Yes, seeing that the Immortal Ascension Conference is imminent, there is no breakthrough in the conventional methods."

There is no way to save the Realm Breaking Pill for the next realm and use it again, it still has to be used. ”

Qi Yun came to fragrant tea and handed it to her: "Yes, a little more strength has a better chance of winning." Lingshi is a bastard, and if it's gone, it's going to make money!"

Big dogs.

Su Xiaoman rolled her eyes, she now knew that Qi Yun was not a disciple of a family, but a casual cultivator.

Seeing Qi Yun, he broke through a layer of realm in a month, and his mana became a lot deeper. In addition to piling up with pills, is it difficult or hard to cultivate?

Those who can use pills to accumulate the realm are all big dogs who are not bad for spirit stones.

And she, lonely and miserable, longs for a spirit stone to be used as two flowers, which is simply poor with a capital letter.

Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Su Xiaoman suddenly stared at the phoenix eyes, well, and snorted with satisfaction: "The best black phoenix tea, isn't this cheap?"

"Insightful. Qi Yun smiled and gave a thumbs up.

He doesn't like to drink alcohol because it numbs people's nerves. But I prefer to drink tea, especially good tea.

One or two good black phoenix teas cost twenty spirit stones. There are almost no casual cultivators who will buy it, that is, Qi Yun has made a windfall, so he will buy a few taels extravagantly.

Su Xiaoman savored it carefully for a while before he slowly opened his eyes, and the color of joy was even more than before, and his long eyelashes jumped up and down as he spoke, like an elf.

"The fragrance and aura are well preserved in the tea, and when you drink it, you have the burning sensation of a flame in your mouth, as if you are devouring a flame.

But when it came to the stomach, the impact of the aura was like a blow of ice, making people tremble. The name of Black Wind Tea is indeed worthy of its name. ”

After listening to the comments, Qi Yun really wanted to say that he was an expert! It was exactly what the boss who sold him spiritual tea said at the beginning, and the effect was really like this.

"I've only heard these things before, but today I tasted them for the first time, and it was true. Thanks a lot. Su Xiaoman was not embarrassed, and explained generously.

"You and I are friends, what's polite. If I'm buying a new tea sometime, I'll be sure to ask you to taste it. After Qi Yun finished speaking, he took a sip from the teacup and tasted the wonderful taste brought by such a spiritual tea.

After the greetings, Su Xiaoman was a straightforward person, he couldn't hide his words, and said directly: "Brother Yan, the Immortal Ascension Conference will be held on the first day of the next month, in the area of Erlang Mountain. You know what?"

Qi Yun nodded, this is the news that came to Fang City yesterday. The whole city spread the word.

The area around Erlong Mountain is more than 300 kilometers away, not far away, not close, and many anxious casual cultivators have already set off.

Su Xiaoman said to himself: "Big brother, you also know that our casual cultivation is to join the sect after all, so that we have a foundation, and we are not afraid of being bullied outside."

I'm probably going to go this time, so I'm here to say goodbye to you today. ”

Qi Yun blinked...... Is it because my cultivation is not high enough, so I subconsciously ignore me?

Cultivation and strength are two different things, if cultivation can represent strength, immortal cultivators don't need to fight, it's better to directly compare cultivation.

However, it is not a good thing to be ignored for low cultivation, and it is easier to develop in a low-key manner.

The Immortal Ascension Conference himself must be going, but with so many secrets on his body, it is inconvenient to bring a person, even if this person may be his helper.

Without much hesitation, Qi Yun offered some words of blessing, concealing that he would also participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference.

After chatting for a while, Su Xiaoman said goodbye: "Brother Yan, I will leave in a while." You're one of my very few friends here...... Well, I hope to see you again in the future. ”

"I'll see you again. Qi Yun responded with a smile, and added in his heart: "Maybe it won't be long." ”
