Linhai City, located in the southernmost part of Tiannan Prefecture, is close to the boundless sea of Guangao, with a warm climate and spring all year round.

It's winter, but you can still feel the warmth of the sun and the salty smell of the sea in the warm breeze.

The flowers and trees everywhere are no longer as bare as seen in Nanyan, but are still lush and green, full of vitality.

The suitable climate here makes Linhai City quite famous in Tiannan Prefecture, and at this time of year, some people will come to Linhai City to spend the winter, but it has become the most lively season in Linhai City.

With a population of about 10 million, Linhai City is the second largest city in Hanhai after the capital city of Guanghan City.

Due to its proximity to the sea, the shipping and fishing industry of Linhai City are very developed, and the people's lives are also very rich, and its degree of stability and prosperity is not much worse than that of Guanghan City, Nanyan Wangcheng and Baiyue Capital, which are the three famous capitals of the southern part of the world.

And what makes Linhai City the most talked about is not these, but that it has the nickname of 'Xiandu'.

Because here, there are often some immortal cultivators who haunt them.

Legend has it that above the boundless sea, there is an unknown immortal island, which is the place where the first immortal cultivation sect in Tiannan Prefecture and the sect of the Tiannan Sword Sect are located.

However, the sea where the island is located is often shrouded in a mist, but ordinary fishing boats and merchant ships cannot get close to it and cannot see its true face, which adds a touch of mystery to it.

It is rumored that every once in a while, the immortals in the Tiannan Sword Sect will incarnate as mortal people and come to Linhai City to realize mortal dust.

At the same time, they will also select some highly qualified martial artists among the mortals, and then bring them back to overseas immortal islands to practice, so that they have a chance to become immortals.

Because of this, Linhai City has become famous in Tiannan Prefecture and has the reputation of 'Immortal City'.

Not only the Tiannan Sword Sect, but also some other hidden immortal cultivation sects, there are often people who appear in Linhai City, and they will also select suitable disciples in the city like the Tiannan Sword Sect.

As a result, many martial artists who wanted to set foot in the Immortal Dao continued to flock to Linhai City from all over Tiannan Prefecture, hoping to show their skills in Linhai City and attract the attention of those immortal cultivators.

As a result, Linhai City became a place where warriors gathered.

With the increasing prosperity of martial arts in Linhai City, private fights between some martial artists will inevitably occur from time to time, which has caused some hidden dangers to the security of Linhai City.

In order to curb this matter, a number of large and small rings were built in Linhai City for these warriors to show what they had learned or settle some disputes.

Gradually, through the battles in those rings, a ranking of the strength of the warriors appeared in Linhai City.

And this list has invisibly become a standard for those immortal cultivators to judge the qualifications of martial artists, which has attracted their attention.

As a result, the battles between the warriors became even more intense, and there would be people competing in those rings almost every day......

This is some of the information that Bai Canghai learned after entering Linhai City.

The carriage walked around the corner of a street where there happened to be a jousting ring.

Coincidentally, at this time, there were two stout men competing in the ring, which caused bursts of applause from the audience below.

There is also the person who is a good gambler, who set the handicap early, shouting at the onlookers to come and place bets, betting on who will win in the end.

The scene was very lively for a while.

A few people stopped and watched for a moment, Bai Canghai and Nangong were not familiar with martial arts, they were just watching the excitement.

Mo Datong had some itchy skills, and he also wanted to go up and give it a try, but when he saw the depth of the two of them, he dispelled this idea.

The two people who competed were just the strength of the acquired martial artists, and they were not the opponents of him, the innate martial artists.

As for Zi Ling and Long Zichuan, they just glanced at the ring boringly.

The two of them were obviously not surprised for a long time, but they only stopped for a moment to satisfy their curiosity because they took into account the feelings of Bai Canghai and the three of them.

In this way, several people walked and stopped in the coastal city, until the sun was three poles, and then they came to a teahouse called "Pinxiangju" in the city.

The location of this teahouse is not in the most prosperous area of the city, and the passenger flow is not much, and the business is not prosperous, but it is a very quiet place.

The tea house also has a spacious footprint, with a spacious backyard in the back in addition to the loft in front for entertaining guests.

There are a lot of tea leaves drying in the courtyard, and the fragrance of tea wafting with the wind makes people feel a little refreshed.

A few people did not go to the main entrance, but went around to the backyard door of the teahouse.

The two maids who opened the door invited everyone into the courtyard very respectfully after seeing Zi Ling.

Here, 'Pinxiangju' is a foothold of Baihua Valley in Linhai City.

Not only the Valley of Hundred Flowers, but also the Tiannan Sword Sect and some other immortal cultivation sects also have their own footholds in Linhai City, but ordinary mortals don't know about these footholds.

One maid invited a few people closer to the living room in the backyard and served tea, while another maid turned around and went to the teahouse in the front yard.

After a while, a woman in red with a seductive figure returned to the backyard with the departing maid.

Bai Canghai looked up and saw that this person was not someone else, it was the matchmaker he had seen on the Hundred Flowers Boat.

The matchmaker ignored the others, and at a glance saw the purple spirit sitting in the hall, her face suddenly showed joy, and she quickly stepped forward and arched her hand and said: "Purple Spirit Fairy, you are back, I ......"

Halfway through her words, the matchmaker suddenly found that there was a stranger among the people next to her, so she stopped her next words and turned her head to look at Zi Ling.

Zi Ling naturally understood what she meant, so she pointed to Long Zichuan and explained: "This is Senior Brother Long Zichuan of the Tiannan Sword Sect, who has a lot of connections with our Hundred Flowers Valley, so there is no need to hide anything from him." Senior Sister Bai, where have they gone, but they have already returned to the Valley of Hundred Flowers?"

"Tiannan Sword Sect?"

The matchmaker was overjoyed when she heard this, and after greeting Long Zichuan warmly, she looked at Zi Ling and replied: "The three fairies have sailed to the Valley of Hundred Flowers three days ago, and I am here to wait for you." ”

"Leaving three days ago?"

Zi Ling couldn't help frowning when she heard this, when they were separated, Bai Xue said that she would wait for them here.

Now they are one step ahead, and I don't know what the reason is? Could it be that Bai Xue's injuries have worsened? Or has something happened to that matter?

Zi Ling was worried, and asked again, "Will there be a ship to go to sea tomorrow?"

The matchmaker understood what Zi Ling meant, shook her head, and took the opportunity to pour tea for Zi Ling, and quietly gave her a look.

Zi Ling understood, and didn't say much, and after instructing the two maids to settle Long Zichuan and Bai Canghai and the others respectively, she called the matchmaker to her side alone and asked, "Why do you want to vomit?"

The matchmaker sighed and said, "There is a tricky matter at present, and I ask the Purple Spirit Fairy to solve it." ”

Zi Ling was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What's the matter?"

The matchmaker didn't answer, but took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over, Zi Ling opened the letter and looked at it, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

This letter is not really a letter, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a challenge.

The person who wrote this challenge was an innate master named Shi Kun, who was ranked tenth on the Linhai City Ring Rankings.

Shi Kun threatened to compete with the matchmaker in the main ring in the center of the city three days later to decide the final ownership of this 'Pinxiangju' teahouse.

In the face of this threat, the matchmaker ignored it.

But this Shi Kun hinted many times in and out of his words, saying that he had the support of immortal cultivators behind him, and he also knew that this teahouse was an industry belonging to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

This is obviously emboldened, and the implications of this are also intriguing.

Zi Ling held back the anger in his heart and asked again, "When did this letter arrive?"

"Two days ago. The matchmaker replied truthfully: "Not long after Snow Fairy and the others left, Shi Kun brought people to make trouble." ”

"Two days ago?" Zi Ling subconsciously asked, "In this way, isn't today the day of the competition in the ring?"

The matchmaker nodded, "Exactly, the time of the competition is set for this afternoon, and when I don't know how to deal with it, fortunately, the Purple Spirit Fairy returned in time." ”

Zi Ling pondered and muttered to himself, "They chose this time to provoke, do you think it would be a coincidence?"

The matchmaker shook her head and said her judgment, "I don't think so, I think they deliberately came after the Snow Fairy left, just to catch us off guard." ”

Zi Ling nodded, but shook his head again and said, "Aren't they afraid of trouble for them after Senior Sister returns? Or do they already expect Senior Sister and they will go and never return? Or are they already not afraid of my Hundred Flowers Valley with their strength?"

The matchmaker also frowned when she heard this, and analyzed: "If they are really not afraid of my Baihua Valley, I am afraid that they will come directly to rob it, and they will not make such a thing as a competition in the ring." I think most of them are still jealous of us, so they will test us in the ring......"

Zi Ling pondered for a moment and said, "You're right, if you face that Shi Kun, what are your chances of winning?"

"The fairy wants me to fight?" The matchmaker was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't dare to hold it up, so she could only say truthfully: "Less than fifty percent." That Shi Kun is also an innate master, and it is said that he has also opened up the third meridian in his body, if I face him, I am not sure of victory. ”

Zi Ling nodded silently, and said, "That Shi Kun is not to worry, what I am worried about is the hidden immortal cultivator behind him, if we don't fight, I'm afraid they will see our reality and reality......"
