Chapter 90: Mixed Blessings
Next. The entire Sifang City was in an uproar. Three things.
The first thing is naturally the matter of the current world of the exercises of the Dongsheng Shrine. In the Sifang City, in addition to the two sides of the main gate of each city lord's mansion, some other important and conspicuous positions in the city, such as the city walls at the gates of each city, also have the decree of the Dongsheng Divine Palace. The content of all the decrees is exactly the same as what Long Chuan saw at the gate of his house.
Although the vast majority of the worldly people in the Sifang City had been found to have no immortal foundation suitable for cultivating immortals, and many of them had already cut off the heart of cultivating immortals, the sudden appearance of the exercises of the Divine Palace immediately aroused the unprecedented increase in the intention of cultivating immortals among the people in the city. Even those who are dying of old age and know that they will never have the chance to step into the immortal path again, there is a lot of discussion about this matter. Even if we can't cultivate immortals, let's always evaluate those exercises, right? Take 10,000 steps back, even if we don't understand those exercises, if we can pick out a typo in a biting way, it will be a great thing!
The second thing is the action of the Jade Sword Gate. There are several things in it.
First, the Jade Sword Sect announced that it would spread the exercises of its three Qi cultivation realms to Sifang City. These three exercises are all metallic exercises, which are flying sword techniques, sword qi shields, and imperial sword techniques. According to the introduction of the Jade Sword Gate, the flying sword technique is practiced, and the cultivator can make the flying sword to pierce the wall within a hundred steps. The sword qi shield is cultivated, and the cultivator can carry a sword qi in front of him as a screen, and the power of a thousand catties cannot be broken. After the swordsmanship is practiced, the person who cultivates can make the flying sword, hold it under his feet, and fly with the person with the sword, thousands of feet in an instant.
Second, the Jade Sword Gate announced that in order to encourage the cities under the jurisdiction of the Jade Sword Gate to move forward bravely, five years later, not only will the foundation inspection meeting be held as usual, but also the battle for the city lord that has not been launched for a thousand years will be launched again in the Sifang City. In this battle for the city lord, there will not only be a competition for the position of the acropolis city lord in the Sifang City, but also the three cities of Yiyuan, Shuangta and Santan will participate in the battle for the position of the city lord of the four prefectures.
Third, the Jade Sword Sect announced that the Divine Palace Exercises were in the world, and no one in the Sifang City was forbidden to try to cultivate. From now on, inside and outside the city, it will be fully open to the people of Xianmen. However, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the Jade Sword Gate strictly prohibits people in the Immortal Gate from bullying the weak, and the use of immortal magic is not good for people in the mortal world. If there is a violator, the Jade Sword Gate will punish him with all the strength of the door. At the same time, the Jade Sword Gate warned mortals not to take the initiative to provoke immortal cultivators, so as not to bring disaster to themselves.
The third thing is directly related to the Long family. The Jade Sword Gate said that the Long family had a meritorious service to the Jade Sword Gate to protect the east city of the Sifang City. The Jade Sword Gate Nian has been in the Long family for more than 300 years, and no one has ever stepped into the Immortal Gate, and the three ancestors who joined the Jade Sword Gate three hundred years ago were allowed to go home to practice and prepare for the battle for the position of city lord five years later. Moreover, the Jade Sword Gate allowed the Long family to deduct three copies of the immortal cultivation materials offered to the Jade Sword Gate for the cultivation of these three ancestors of the Long family.
For the Long family and the dragon to come, the appearance of the Dongsheng Divine Palace Exercises is old news. However, the Jade Sword Sect threw out three more metallic exercises, which made Long Chuan, Qing, Heavenly Demon, and Blood Demon very confused. However, since there are already fifteen exercises in the Dongsheng Divine Palace, the three exercises of the Jade Sword Gate are at most better than nothing. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon only glanced at the three exercises of the Jade Sword Sect and sneered at them.
Other things are mixed for the Long family and Long Chuan himself.
There are two happy events.
First, the Jade Sword Gate did not prohibit anyone from cultivating the exercises of the Dongsheng Divine Palace and the three metallic exercises thrown out by the Jade Sword Gate, so Long Chuan would no longer have to worry about the exercises. Moreover, the Jade Sword Gate said that the Sifang City will be fully open to all the people in the Immortal Gate. This means that Long Chuan can not only have the opportunity to contact more people in the Immortal Sect and understand the matter of cultivating immortals, but also have an extra layer of cover to prevent Ying Mu and the Jade Sword Sect from secretly committing crimes against the Long family or Long Chuan himself.
Second, it is also a great joy that the Long family finally has three immortal cultivators returning. Although these three ancestors have not yet returned to the mansion, since they have been practicing in the Jade Sword Sect for hundreds of years, they must be extraordinary. With the return of these three ancestors, the Long family will no longer have to look up to the snort of those great immortal thieves in the Jade Sword Gate like before. Perhaps, these three ancestors can also refer to the descendants of the Long family to practice, so that the people of the Long family can take advantage of the great opportunity of the Dongsheng Divine Palace Exercises to produce a few more immortal cultivators.
There are also two kinds of sorrows.
First, the Dongsheng Divine Palace exercises are in the world, and more people will try to step into the immortal path. This means that the demand for immortal cultivation materials inside and outside the city will increase dramatically. After the Jade Sword Gate opened the Sifang City to all the people in the Immortal Gate, more people from the Immortal Gate poured into the Sifang City, which would make the materials for cultivating immortals become scarce. The Jade Sword Sect had already authorized the Long family to allocate three copies of the immortal cultivation materials that needed to be sacrificed to the three Long family ancestors for cultivation. If the Long family can't make up the remaining part that should be handed over, it is reasonable, and the Long family will be criticized. But it is not easy for the Long family to raise those immortal cultivation materials now. After the materials for cultivating immortals became scarce, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the Long family to get together the part that was handed over?
Second, the Jade Sword Gate mentioned the battle for the city lord again, and there were two battles between immortal cultivators. Although the three ancestors of the Long family are about to return, no one knows what the cultivation of these three ancestors is. In case these three ancestors had already crossed the realm of Qi training, there would be no way to fight for the Long family. In that case, according to the rules of the Jade Sword Gate, the Long family would once again face the embarrassing situation of no one being able to participate in the Battle of the Immortal Gate. If this is the case, under the rule of this best-of-three system, the Long family has already lost the position of the city lord before it has even fought.
Moreover, although the immortal cultivators of the rest of the families have not yet returned, since the Jade Sword Gate has delineated the rules for the people in the Immortal Gate to participate in the war, the people in the other Immortal Sects will presumably also return before the battle of the city lord and fight for the family. Even if the three Ancestors were still in the Qi Cultivation Realm, it was also a question of whether they were fully sure that they would be able to defeat their opponents in the battle for the City Lord in five years' time.
Moreover, this time the battle for the city lord is even the battle for the position of the city lord. Those who can participate in the competition for the position of the lord of the city must not be easy. If the people of several other cities ran all the way from the three cities of Yiyuan, Shuangta and Santan to Sifang City to compete for the position of the lord of the mansion, they must have come prepared. Today's city lord and city lord of Tantai have always taken a lot of care of the Long family. If the position of the mansion lord is taken away by someone else, whether the new mansion lord will still do this to the Long family is really not too optimistic. Without the secret care of the city lord, Long Zheng and his wife knew that the situation of the Long family would definitely be more difficult in terms of cultivating immortal materials.
As soon as the Jade Sword Sect's decree was issued, the Long family immediately reacted to the above things. Long Zheng immediately issued some notices in the name of the city lord.
First of all, the Long family encouraged those in Dongcheng who were willing to try, even if they tried to practice the exercises announced by the Dongsheng Divine Palace and the Jade Sword Gate. At the same time, the Long family also reminded the people of the city that according to the law of the immortal family, cultivating the immortal law requires a very high level of understanding and the corresponding immortal base. If the people in the city are still not allowed to enter after many attempts, the Long family advises those who try to think twice before acting.
The Long family also reminded the people of Dongcheng that cultivating the immortal method requires special immortal cultivation materials as support. As the saying goes, the poor are rich and martial. The cost of cultivating immortals is thousands of times more than the cost of martial arts. Therefore, the Long family also specially warned the people of Dongcheng who wanted to try to cultivate immortals that they needed to do what they could, and not to miss their family's livelihood because of cultivating immortal laws.
Secondly, the Long family was deeply grateful to the Jade Sword Gate for allowing the three ancestors of the Long family to go home to practice, and even more grateful to the Jade Sword Gate for deliberately allowing the Long family to allocate three copies of the immortal cultivation materials dedicated to the Jade Sword Gate for the cultivation of the three ancestors of the Long family. After receiving the decree of the Jade Sword Gate, Long Zheng and his wife immediately made a special trip to the ten immortal elders in the mansion to ask to see the ten immortal elders to express their gratitude. It's just that the ten immortal elders may be in retreat, no matter how Long Zheng and his wife call, they just don't come out to see each other.
Thirdly, regarding the decision of the Jade Sword Gate to relaunch the battle for the position of the city lord after five years, Long Zheng made a statement on behalf of the Long family, and everything was subject to the arrangements of the Immortal Family and the Mansion City.
Fourth, regarding the fact that there is a high probability that there will be a large number of people from the Xianmen in Dongcheng, the Long family has repeatedly reminded the people of Dongcheng that there is no need to panic, just abide by the law, abide by their duties, and live as usual. The affairs of the immortal family have their own people from the immortal family and the mansion city as the masters. Moreover, the decree of the Jade Sword Gate has already stated that if the people in the Immortal Gate rely on the Immortal Law and bully the mortals, the Jade Sword Gate will uphold justice.
As soon as the notice of the Dragon Mansion came out, the mood of the people in Dongcheng immediately stabilized a lot. After all, although these incidents may not have much direct relationship with the people in the city, each of them will affect everyone in the city to a greater or lesser extent.
It's just that the vast majority of people in Dongcheng didn't expect that their lives, starting from this moment, gradually, forever, were changed. Dongcheng, and even the entire Sifang City, can no longer go back to what it used to be.
