The red makeup turned to face Tang Mian, and her bright eyes showed a look of surprise:

"What! are you leaving?"

Tang Mian nodded stubbornly, just now he had been not good at explaining this matter to Hongxiang in front of everyone, and now if he doesn't say it, I'm afraid he really won't be able to leave.

"You came up and introduced me as an archdeacon, how can I slap you in the face in public?"

Tang Mian spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile, and then he told Hongxiang what he was thinking about, and hoped to get her understanding.

After a moment of silence, a faint smile appeared on the beautiful face of the red makeup, and said:

"It's okay for you to leave. ”

More than ten years ago, when Red Makeup invited Tang Mian to join the City Lord's Mansion, he promised Tang Mian that as long as he helped the City Lord's Mansion fight in the war with the Ice and Fire Sect, he would be free to leave after that, and his freedom would not be restricted.

"But are you Qingling Yuan City, what is the purpose of the establishment of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Red asked softly.

"Resources and power. ”

Tang Mian said with a smile.

Red Makeup looked at Tang Mian's indifferent appearance, glanced at him rather complainingly, and then said:

"Of course, it's resources and power, do you know the Nine Nations Immortal Alliance?"

Next, some things that Red Makeup told Tang Mian greatly changed his opinion of this cultivation realm, he originally thought that the cultivation realm was a plate of scattered sand, but he didn't expect that there would be an institution like the United Nations.

The cultivation realm of the Zhao Kingdom, where the three counties are located, belongs to the Nine Nations Immortal Alliance, and there are eight countries similar to the Zhao Kingdom, these nine countries represent the developed civilization of the human race, and their mortal population is not far behind the entire earth, and the number of cultivators is also quite large.

The cultivator's powerful abilities play a good role in protecting the entire human race, but it is also a huge threat to some extent. In this case, the Nine Nations Immortal Alliance, organized by the major forces of the Nine Kingdoms, came into being, and the Nine Nations Immortal Alliance, as a collection of powerful cultivators, had a basic constraint on the entire cultivation realm, and the evil demon outer path that had killed countless people in the past was also contained.

However, the most eternal topic in the cultivation realm is resources, the territory of the Nine Kingdoms is vast and boundless, in addition to the unknown places outside the territory, there are countless crazy treasures in various secret realms, ruins, and former caves. I don't know when it began, the Nine Nations Immortal Alliance began to use its own power to divide resources, and in this case, the small forces had less right to speak, and the scattered cultivators lost their right to speak.

In this case, if you want to obtain higher-level resources, you must either go to extremely dangerous places to find them, or you can build a stronger force and get a greater voice.

Lingyuan City was still a small force when the Lingyuan Master was still in the False Dan Stage cultivation, but after he became a Jindan Stage Cultivator, Lingyuan City became one of the three major forces in the Three Counties. In recent years, due to the crazy growth of the combat power of the City Lord's Mansion during the foundation building period, Lingyuan City has surpassed the Four Spirit Sects to a certain extent and has become the second largest force among the three counties.

After having such strength, Lingyuan City finally became a number in the Zhao State Cultivation Realm from scratch, and firmly grasped the resources in the three counties.

In addition, Lingyuan City also obtained the quota of some secret realms in the Zhao State Cultivation True Realm, and some of them even involved treasures that were beneficial to the Jindan period and even the Yuan Infant Stage.

"We established Lingyuan City to obtain these qualifications, and the city lord wants to enter a certain secret realm with this, so as to obtain the possibility of advancement. ”

"I see, then it's no wonder that you must get lapis lazuli resources. ”

Tang Mian nodded, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"But the number of people who enter the secret realm is always limited, and they are all the most important people among the major forces, and now you know why the Devil-Eyed brothers are so obsessed with the archdeacon and the position of leader. ”

The red makeup gave Tang Mian a white look, obviously dissatisfied with his slightly exaggerated expression.

"So this position of archdeacon is not easy to come by, maybe it is an opportunity for you to achieve Jindan in the future, and it is really difficult to gain a foothold in the current cultivation realm. ”

"If you want to travel far away, you don't need to resign from the position of archdeacon, you just need to help Lingyuan City in time when you are in trouble, I can assure you. ”

Red Makeup's words can be said to be quite sincere, and Tang Mian also understands that the other party is for Lingyuan City on the one hand, and for him on the other.

"Well, since Sister Red Makeup said so, I will temporarily assume the position of archdeacon, but the condition is that I will only act when Lingyuan City is in danger. ”

Tang Mian smiled and nodded, his path of cultivation began in the three counties, and serving as an archdeacon in Lingyuan City could be regarded as a reason to come back.

Red Makeup and Tang Mian looked at each other and smiled, and the two continued to walk on the street, and came to the city gate while laughing.

"I don't know when we can see each other today, take care of Sister Red Makeup!"

"Be careful outside, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Tang Mian smiled, then rose from the ground, flew into the air and turned around and waved his hand to the red makeup, and then went away in the northwest direction.

The red makeup watched Tang Mian disappear into the clouds, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then returned to Lingyuan City.

At this time, in the sky above Lingyuan City, the Lingyuan Venerable stood in the clouds with his arms crossed, looking at the direction of Tang Mian's departure, and muttered to himself:

"This person has just succeeded in building a foundation and can basically be compared to the later stage, what is the secret of his body?"

Venerable Lingyuan glanced at the red makeup that walked back to the city, but after all, he still didn't choose to catch up with Tang Mian to figure it out.

Tang Mian naturally didn't know that Venerable Lingyuan was eyeing him from the clouds just now, and at this time, he moved away from Lingyuan City at an extremely fast speed and shot towards the direction of Laoya Mountain in Hanhai County.

The majestic mana in the early stage of foundation building allowed Tang Mian to have a speed far beyond the previous one, and he was able to fly for a long time.

However, in about two days, Tang Mian arrived at the corner of the Yunling Mountain Range, Lao Yao Mountain, where he came to tell Chen Li the good news of his successful foundation building, and to say goodbye to him.

After the three major forces stopped fighting, Hanhai County also calmed down, and the forces in Lao Yao Mountain have also been safe and sound in the past few years, and the reason for this is that the Elixir Pavilion has gradually grown.

"What? He's gone north?"

Tang Mian learned the news of Chen Li's departure from the old pavilion master.

"Yes, he left after the mid-breakthrough and left you this jade slip before leaving. ”

The pavilion master handed a piece of jade slip sealed by rune paper to Tang Mian, who took it and untied the rune paper, and then probed the information in it with his divine sense.

"Brother Tang, after taking the Chunya Pill Chen, he really broke through to the middle stage, and saw the way forward in the dark, you can rest assured that you can take this pill. Chen will not come back for a short time when he goes to the northern counties, and he will see you again. ”

The words left by Chen Li moved Tang Mian's heart, and then he took out a blank jade slip with divine sense as pen and mana as ink, left some words in it, and handed it to the old pavilion master.

After bidding farewell to the old pavilion master, Tang Mian flew to Qishan County in the east, which was the only way for the three counties to go to the north.
