The deacons of the City Lord's Mansion are very busy these days, and they used to have only half a day a day to work, but now they need to run around for three-quarters, and the remaining quarter is used for rest, and even eating is squeezed out of time. However, these people did not have any complaints, and they did not dare to complain about things related to their future.

Zhao Xiaoyang arrived home in the evening, his house is not far from the city lord's mansion, although the area is not large, but it is quite elegant, at a glance, you can know that it is taken care of by a person with a good family. This small courtyard was left by Zhao Xiaoyang's father before his death, and he originally ran a small shop, but after a large number of merchants from other places entered Jixing Island, they crowded his shop, so it caused the family to fall into the middle of the road. When Zhao Xiaoyang was born, he experienced the process of the family from prosperity to decline, and Zhao's father was also ill, and then died.

Zhao's mother is a diligent person, relying on her former relatives and friends, she found a servant woman's errand in the city lord's mansion to support her son, but fortunately, she raised Zhao Xiaoyang safely, and also educated Zhao Xiaoyang to the point that he was favored by Hao Tong and recruited into the city lord's mansion as an errand. Zhao Xiaoyang is also a grateful person, he is very grateful to his mother and Hao Tong, although he has the opportunity to live in the city lord's mansion, he still lives with his mother at home, and he is also worried that he will leave and no one will take care of his mother.

"Mother, I'm back!" Zhao Xiaoyang greeted his mother as soon as he entered the door. When Zhao's mother heard that her son was back, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen, put the food on the table, and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you are back, every time you come back, you have such a loud voice, it's hard to know if you don't know!"

Zhao Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Mother, don't I miss you! This day, I am really tired, the soles of my shoes are worn thin!" said and lifted his shoes to Zhao's mother.

Mother Zhao put down the food, made a gesture to fight, and said: "You child, still think of yourself as a three-year-old child! You are now on an errand in front of the city lord, but it is no better than at home, no big or small, you will be annoyed by people, do you know?"

Zhao Xiaoyang said helplessly: "Mother, I'm not joking with you." I'm very well-behaved in front of the city lord! Moreover, these days, I can't even see the city lord's face, how can I make the city lord tired of me!"

Mother Zhao placed the dishes and chopsticks, turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Why is this? Could it be that you were belittled by the city lord to go to see the dock?" In Star City, taking care of the dock is something that every deacon and family member will experience, but there is only one shift every month, if he is arranged to work at the dock for many days in a row, it can only mean one thing - this person is disgusted by the city lord and does not want to see him in front of him.

Zhao Xiaoyang asked with a smile: "Mother, how long has it been since you went out! Haven't you heard any news about such a big thing happening in the city? And didn't I tell you a few days ago! We are going to hold an immortal ascension conference in Star City, and the immortal masters of the Sanqing Palace are going to recruit disciples here, and I have been busy giving people a record list these days!"

He didn't tell his mother what Sanqing Palace promised in advance, worried that if he didn't choose, his mother would be happy.

Mother Zhao suddenly realized: "Oh! Hey, I thought you just said it casually, and I didn't take it seriously." I said that I went out to buy vegetables these days, why are there so many people, it turns out that they are all coming for the Immortal Ascension Conference!"

Zhao Xiaoyang nodded: "Yes! In the city in the past five days alone, there have been three thousand people coming from all directions, all of whom have come to sign up on the surrounding islands. The ears of these people are really good, what the city lord just ordered to go on, they already knew about it the next day, and even some people in the city are still watching, these people have already dragged their families to our Star City. ”

Mother Zhao is a person who has experienced the era when Helian Jun was the city lord twenty years ago, and has seen the deeds of monks sporadically, so she can think about these things, and said: "You don't want to think about it, if you have the opportunity to be a master, who would want to roll in this world." That immortal master is no longer a human being, it is a land immortal, and his magical powers are boundless. More than 20 years ago, when I was still the city lord of Helian City, I had seen the methods of the immortal master, not to mention flying around in the sky, even the purple and colorful spells, which made people feel very magical!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Yangyang, have you ever seen an immortal master in the City Lord's Mansion?" Do you have to remember, they are all capable people, you must be cautious when speaking, don't offend others, otherwise you don't know how to die!" The tone of his speech also changed from teaching to severity.

Zhao Xiaoyang hurriedly responded: "Mother, it's not that you don't know me, I'm the kind of person who causes trouble casually! Naturally, I won't offend the immortal masters! I have already seen a lot of immortal masters' methods a few days ago, how can I find myself unhappy! Moreover, I think those immortal masters are all very approachable, and they don't have any shelf at all, just like these neighbors of our family!"

Mother Zhao snorted lightly and said: "You just don't have a positive shape, those immortal masters of other people don't have a shelf for you now, that's because you are all ordinary people, and this kind of thing is just for people with a similar status to yourself, and now in the entire Star City, who else can compare to the origin of the immortal masters? However, you still have the opportunity to wait for the immortal master these days? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Zhao Xiaoyang was still hesitating to tell his mother that he wanted to sign up for the Immortal Ascension Conference, and hesitated for a moment, since he had already said this, he would simply take advantage of the moment to test Zhao's mother's meaning.

He asked softly, "Mother, what do you think if I also want to become an immortal master?"

Mother Zhao ate her food, her eyes were not raised, and she simply said neatly: "You, don't think about it, how can the immortal master do it so easily! That is a great opportunity that only one person out of thousands of people can get." And I've heard that the immortal master first has to have an immortal relationship with his master, and then he depends on the person's cultivation potential or something, you, if you have any immortal fate, will you still grow up to such an old age in this Star Gathering City? Haven't you been taken away as an apprentice a long time ago!"

Zhao Xiaoyang was a little unconvinced: "Mother, I'm so uncompetitive in your eyes!"

Mother Zhao laughed for a while, and said: "How come! Son, you are the first family leader in dozens of households around us to become the head of the family at such a young age, how can my mother think that you are not angry! It's just that the matter of the immortal master is too ethereal, even if you have an immortal fate, if you wait until you reach seventy or eighty, there may not be an immortal master to accept you!"

Zhao Xiaoyang was not angry this time, what Zhao Mu said made some sense, he had also heard a similar statement from Shoujing, although the Sanqing Palace did not pay attention to such a thing as the fate of the law, but the rest of the sects attached great importance to this matter, after all, the practice method that prevails in the cultivation world today is still the master and the apprentice, and the higher the similarity between the master and the apprentice, the more the practice between the master and the apprentice can be inherited. However, Sanqing Palace is different, Shoujing said, no matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is sincere in his heart and has the desire to practice, he can find his own path in Sanqing Palace.

Zhao Xiaoyang took two mouthfuls of food and continued to ask his mother in a low voice: "Mother, then—if I have the opportunity to practice now, will you be reluctant to let me go!"

Mother Zhao didn't feel anything unusual at all, and said directly: "Of course not! My son is such an excellent person, if he has the opportunity to become an immortal master, it is the ancestor of our old Zhao family who has accumulated virtue, if your father is alive, he will not stop you from going, how can my mother stop you!"

After speaking, he felt a little strange, and asked Zhao Xiaoyang, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the immortal master in the City Lord's Mansion has taken a fancy to your talent recently and wants to take you away to practice?"

Zhao Xiaoyang hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not, it's just that there is such an opportunity! Didn't I tell you, in two months, there will be an immortal ascension conference in the city, and we, the deacons and servants who have given the immortal masters, have the opportunity to sign up for the immortal ascension conference, and if they pass the assessment, the immortal master said that we can go to Sanqing Palace to practice together." That's why I'm asking what you mean, and if you think it's possible, I'll sign up. Of course, in fact, he had already secretly signed up, but he never told Zhao's mother.

Mother Zhao said with relief: "My son is really promising, he can be favored by the immortal master at a young age, and he is going to be taken away for cultivation!

Zhao Xiaoyang asked worriedly: "Mother, don't you feel lost? In case I really want to go to practice, but I have to go to a place that is not known how far away from our Star City, and I don't know how many years I can't come back, won't you miss me?"

Mother Zhao ate two mouthfuls of food in silence, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a deep voice: "Yangyang, my mother knows that you are a filial child, and you will not easily give up your mother and go to practice alone." But the mother is not a person who will delay her son's future because of herself. If you have such an opportunity to become an immortal master, of course my mother will support you very much! You don't have to worry about it, the City Lord's Mansion sends me a lot of things every month, which is enough for me to live until I die of old age!"

Zhao Xiaoyang was a little sad, Zhao's mother raised herself alone, if she left alone for the sake of cultivation, wouldn't she live up to her mother's nurturing grace for so many years? This is too selfish!" "Forget it, it's better to go to the Immortal Master of Shoujing tomorrow and ask, can there be any way to get the best of both worlds, leaving your mother here alone, I really can't practice with peace of mind." Zhao Xiaoyang thought secretly in his heart.

The next day, he had just come to the City Lord's Mansion, ready to meet with the others, and go to the registration point in the North City to work together. After chatting with the rest of the deacons for a while, he found that he had such concerns not only himself, but also some young deacons who had parents alive in their families.

When everyone heard that Zhao Xiaoyang wanted to go to Shoujing and ask what to do, they all felt that Zhao Xiaoyang was really interesting, and they could actually think of such a way, although they knew that the immortal masters were approachable, but they didn't dare to disturb them easily. Zhao Xiaoyang was helpless, he didn't expect that he would take on such an errand, anyway, while he still has time, he just went to Shoujing and asked.

hurriedly came to the gate of the courtyard of Shoujing, knocked lightly on the door twice, and asked in a loud voice: "Immortal Master of Shoujing! Zhao Xiaoyang has come to say hello!"

After a while, the courtyard door was opened, and it was Shoujing who opened it. I saw that Shoujing's face was calm, and he asked, "Why did the little brother come to me?"

Zhao Xiaoyang scratched his head honestly and said, "Immortal Master, in fact, I want to ask you, if I—oh, no, those of us who have signed up are selected, and if we want to go to Sanqing Palace to practice, can I bring my parents with me?"

Shou Jing was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to bring your parents with you?

Zhao Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed by this question, and said hesitantly: "It's not, it's just that the parents at home are old and weak, if we people leave, there is no one around them to take care of them, if something happens, won't we regret it for life?"

Shou Jing nodded and said, "I see, you are worried that after your parents leave you, there will be no one to take care of you! Not only parents, but also immediate family members in the family can go. However, it is impossible to live with you in the mountain gate, so I can only live outside the mountain gate. But it shouldn't be too far away, it's still tens of millions of times closer than this million miles. ”

Zhao Xiaoyang left gratefully, looking at his back as he walked away, Shoujing touched his chin, and said to himself: "It seems that the things that were suggested to the city lord at the beginning are really good. "He is a person who has lived from the bottom for 20 years, and he knows the thoughts of ordinary people very well, if he has worries, then even if he is determined to practice, he will bury a landmine in his cultivation, and it is better to completely solve his worries. However, it is unknown to what extent he could implement the advice he gave to Qin Guan at the beginning, and now he is just agreeing to these people's requests first.

On the sea outside the Sanqing Palace, there are dozens of large and small islands floating, all of which are barren reefs and wild islands within a radius of thousands of miles, with no human figure in half, and even very little vegetation. These were all pulled from various places by Qin Guan, Liao Xingchen and the others, relying on the power of Liao Xingchen's formation, as well as a lot of spirit stones. Shoujing's suggestion to Qin Guan was to find a few ordinary places for ordinary people to live with their relatives who were selected by the Sanqing Palace. And after Qin Guan told Liao Xingchen about this idea, Liao Xingchen simply proposed that it would be better to make a big one, and take the opportunity to make a huge city of ordinary people outside Fangcun Mountain, and in the long run, it can also provide more personnel supplements for the Sanqing Palace in the future, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and it can be taken care of from far and near. Qin Guan agreed with this idea, so there is the current situation.

However, the desert islands have all gathered in one place, but the area is beyond everyone's imagination, just arranging a huge protective formation, it will cost seventy or eighty percent of the spiritual materials of the Sanqing Palace, and Min Hui began to suffer again.
