Chapter 316: Qi Liang's Invitation
Somewhere in the center of the Zhongming Mountain Range, the ice and snow in a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles have disappeared, and at this moment, the place that comes into view is lush and verdant.
The sky is clear, like a piece of blue jade, auspicious clouds are suspended between the mountains, the rainbow-like glow spreads from one auspicious cloud to another, exuding a brilliant five-color glow, countless cranes fly in the clouds, leaving a crisp chirp, just like a fairyland.
In the center of this fairyland, there stands a majestic mountain peak with a white body, the peak body is smooth, and there are few craggy protrusions, at first glance, it looks like a huge white jade pillar.
The white peaks were broken from the mountainside, and the fracture was so smooth that it looked as if it had been cut in two with a knife, forming a huge square above the fracture.
Although it is only half a mountain, the white square is still in the zenith.
In the center of the square is a huge white jade platform, nearly a thousand zhang high, with countless runes engraved on the surface, and the whole body exudes a luminous white light.
A staircase runs diagonally from the top of the platform to the ground.
On the top of the stairs, round futons are placed, densely packed, and there are thousands of them.
There are even more dense futon seats on the ground around the high platform, which spread to the end of the edge of the square, and I don't know how many.
This is the place where the first Lord is about to preach, the Bai Yufeng Pulpit.
Now that the conference has not yet begun, there is no one in the square on Bai Yufeng, and it seems very silent.
In a huge mountain col that is only a few hundred miles away from Baiyu Peak, in the clouds and mist, countless gorgeous buildings and pavilions loom together, connecting them continuously, faintly forming a city that stretches for thousands of miles.
Different from the situation on the White Jade Peak, this city is full of people, although it is daytime at the moment, all parts of the city are still flashing with various lights, straight into the air, looking extremely lively.
From time to time, some people flew from the city to all directions, and at the same time, more people flew from all sides in groups and fell into the mountain col city.
At this moment, a blue light flew from a distance, and after two flashes, it came close to Han Li's figure.
He glanced in the direction of Bai Yufeng in the distance for a few moments, then quickly retracted his gaze and landed towards the city below.
The entire city was shrouded in a huge cyan prohibition, and many Candle Dragon Dao disciples were scattered everywhere.
Seeing Han Li flying over, a young disciple of the Candle Dragon Dao hurriedly greeted him.
"Disciple see elder, the sect stipulates that anyone who wants to enter White Jade City must first check their identity, please forgive me. The young disciple looked at Han Li's elder clothes, gave a deep salute, and said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. Han Li took out the Elder Identity Token.
The young disciple took out a white jade talisman and shook it slightly at Han Li's token.
A layer of white light flashed on the token, and the jade talisman was even more radiant, condensing into a small white light curtain in a flash, on which Han Li's image and information appeared.
"It turned out to be Elder Li, the disciple was rude, Elder waited, and opened the ban here. The young disciple glanced at the light curtain, confessed, and then turned over his hand and took out a cyan token.
In a flash, a cyan light flew from the token and disappeared into the light curtain behind it.
Under the light curtain, a one-person-high passage emerged.
Han Li put away the Elder Token and flew in, quickly landing in the city.
He walked down a street toward the city, looking around from time to time, with a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
From the outside, he didn't feel much through the light curtain, but when he entered it, he found that the city was full of all kinds of tall and gorgeous buildings, exquisite, luxurious and high-end shops, and wide streets spread like spider webs in the city, looking extremely prosperous, no less than any big city he had seen before.
In addition to cultivating over the years, he often walked around the Zhongming Mountain Range, but he didn't expect that there was such a place here.
The shops on both sides of the street are selling all kinds of things, materials, pills, and magic weapons, and the quality is not bad, compared to the Candle Dragon Dao Zongmenfang City, there are some things that are rarely seen in the Zongmenfang City.
Many shop owners are obviously not disciples of Candle Dragon Dao, but should be people from the affiliated forces of Candle Dragon Dao, taking advantage of the conference to sell some local specialties.
Han Li walked for a while and stopped in front of a shop.
This is a material store, and you can see from the door that there are dozens of shelves inside, and each shelf has a lot of materials, all of which are good treasures, and there are many novelties.
The store is crowded at the moment, and business is good.
Han Li groaned for a moment and stepped inside.
As soon as he stepped into the store, a young attendant in a red feather robe immediately greeted him and said, "This senior, but what materials do you need, our Yidonglou has all kinds of spiritual materials, and the price is absolutely fair......"
"Little San, you go and greet other guests, and I will receive this distinguished guest. Before the attendant could finish speaking, an old man in a feather robe who looked like a shopkeeper walked over quickly.
The young attendant was stunned and retreated with interest.
"This elder, the young man is shallow, please don't mind. What materials do you need? In the next is the people of the Yi family in the extreme west, our Yi family has been operating spiritual materials for generations, and we have a good reputation, and we will not let you down. The old man in the feather robe said respectfully.
Han Li didn't say anything, he directly flipped over and took out a piece of jade slip and handed it over, inside the jade slip was the remaining required materials of Dao Dan and the other two main materials of Wanlun Dan.
"Elder, these materials you need are too precious for the small shop to have. The old man took the jade slip and put it on his forehead, and said apologetically.
"Then do you know where you can buy these materials?" Han Li asked lightly.
"These materials have only been seen in the classics, and have never heard of them appearing anywhere. The old man in the feather robe shook his head and said.
Han Li nodded with a calm face, retrieved the jade slip, turned around and walked outside, and the old man hurriedly sent him off in person.
Out of the shop, he continued to walk forward.
After a moment, Han Li stopped in front of another material shop that was not sizable, and then walked inside.
It didn't take long for him to come out, still in vain.
His expression did not change at all, and he continued to walk towards the city.
......
Half a day later, a young man walked out of a very large material shop in the central area of the city, it was none other than Han Li.
His face was as usual, but he was really a little depressed in his heart.
In the past half of the day, he has walked through most of the material shops in the city, let alone bought one or two materials, and he has not even heard a little news about these materials.
Although there are still some places that I have not visited, since the largest ones are not available, there is little hope for the remaining shops.
Han Li shook his head and was about to walk forward.
"Hey, Brother Li. At that moment, a voice came from behind him.
Hearing this, Han Li turned around and saw a white-robed man walking over with a smile on his face, but it was Qi Liang.
"Brother Qi, long time no see. Han Li said with a smile.
He has been in retreat for most of these years, and the rest of the time has been going out to do various tasks, and he has little contact with the elders of the sect, and he and Qi Liang have not seen each other for almost three hundred years.
As for the fact that the other party was greedy for some of his immortal yuan stones when he was introduced, he naturally didn't pay attention to it at all.
Qi Liang laughed, and was about to say something more, his eyes suddenly widened, his voice was hoarse, and he said after a while: "Brother Li, the breath on your body ...... Could it be that you have already cleared the Twelve Immortal Apertures and advanced to the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm?"
"In the next few years, I have had some chances, retreated and practiced penance, and I just opened up the twelfth immortal aperture not long ago. Han Li smiled faintly and said lightly.
"Brother Li is deeply blessed, which is really enviable. Qi Liang had regained his composure at this moment, and seeing that Han Li didn't want to say more, he didn't ask more.
"By the way, when did Brother Qi arrive?" Han Li naturally didn't want to say anything more on this topic, so he immediately changed his mind.
"It's been five or six days, and I've been walking around. I haven't seen Brother Li in the past few days, could it be that he just arrived? Why didn't you come here earlier, it has been lively here for a while. Qi Liang said with a smile.
"It seems that Brother Qi should have gained a lot, but unfortunately there was a delay in the next event, so he came late. Han Li laughed.
"Actually, there were no good things in the first few days, and the real treasures usually come out at the end. By the way, I was just about to go to an exchange meeting, and all the people who attended were fellow Daoists, would Brother Li be interested in coming along?" Qi Liang waved his hand and invited.
"Naturally, I'm interested. Han Li's eyes lit up and he nodded.
"I knew that Brother Li would not miss such a good opportunity. The location is in front, let's go, talk as we go. Qi Liang smiled and walked towards the front first.
"Brother Qi, I can't imagine that there is such a city in the sect that is not inferior to Zongmenfang City, how come I have never heard of it before. Han Li asked.
"Brother Li may have misunderstood. You haven't been in the sect for a long time, so you don't know, and it's not open to the public on weekdays. Only when encountering such a grand event as the current preaching conference will people be allowed to enter, and this Bai Yu Peak and Bai Yu City can be regarded as a place for our Candle Dragon Dao to hold a grand meeting. Qi Liang said.
"I see. Han Li nodded.
The two talked as they walked, and after walking along the street for some distance, they turned into a wide street.
The buildings on both sides of the street here are taller and more exquisite, with different styles of cornices at the corners and beams and exquisite carved beams and paintings, and many of them are shrouded in various forbidden lights.
Han Li noticed that the monks walking by the street all looked at these buildings with a bit of awe on their faces.
"This is it. Qi Liang took Han Li and stopped in front of a three-story attic.
This building is also shrouded in a layer of white prohibition, and it is impossible to see the specific situation inside from the outside, which is quite mysterious.
