Longyuan River, as the largest river in Wu State, stretches for thousands of miles and has magnificent waves. The river surface is endless. Occasionally, the water rolls up, forming huge whirlpools or huge waves several feet high, as if there are really dragons lurking in the river. end.

The water area of ​​this river is so wide that it spans almost half of the Wu Kingdom. Thousands of sailboats pass by the river all the year round, and thousands of boats rush along it. Merchants from various cities along the way travel on it. It is the most important water conservancy and trade artery of the Wu Kingdom.

The end of the Longyuan River flows straight into the East China Sea. A huge city stands on the coast, called "Dragon King City". It is the largest trade hub between Wu State and the East China Sea. There are countless large and small boats moored on the pier outside the city.

Every year, pearls, kelp, salt, etc. from the East China Sea flow into the State of Wu from here, and rice, grain, cloth and other items from the State of Wu also enter the East China Sea through here. The Dragon King City is extremely prosperous, even inferior to the capital of the State of Wu.

Dragon King City is not only a city for secular trade, but also a city of monks. Countless immortal cultivators from the Central Plains inland enter the East China Sea from here to hunt monsters and hunt for treasures, and they will also bring their harvest back to Dragon King City for sale.

Speaking of this matter, Dragon King City can be regarded as the leading city for cultivating immortals in the Wu Kingdom.

A huge blue ship that was a hundred feet long broke through the river water and slowly approached the Dragon King City dock. This is a large cargo ship heading to Dragon King City. The ship is full of rice and grain cargo, and there are also a few tourists coming to Dragon King City.

"Dragon King City has finally arrived." A young man of medium height and dark skin stood beside the ship's side, looking at the huge city in front of him, and murmured.

This person is none other than Yuan Ming, who once again transformed into an appearance using a blood and bone mask.

After he got rid of the Mingquan ancestor in Fangshi, he did not fly to the East China Sea, but instead chose to travel by boat.

Ancestor Mingquan couldn't search for him in the front, so he would most likely mobilize manpower to check for those who were escaping from the air. He would take a boat from the ground to avoid the search of Ancestor Mingquan. Secondly, he also wanted to borrow This is to test whether Patriarch Mingquan has any other means to position himself.

Yuan Ming did not allow any omissions in the arrangement of his parents this time. He had to completely avoid the other party's detection before arriving in the East China Sea.

Fortunately, along the way, the Nascent Soul Stage monk never showed up once, so he should have been completely thrown away.

The giant blue boat docked quickly, and the merchants and passengers on board hurriedly disembarked.

Yuan Ming also mixed in with the crowd and boarded the pier and walked into Dragon King City.

What you see and hear in the city is different from that in Jin, Zhao, and southern Xinjiang. The buildings are mostly made of wood, with few bricks and tiles. The people here live a prosperous life, and even the roadside is planted with many trees and flowers, which are extremely delicate.

Compared with the solemnity of the Jin Dynasty and the simplicity of the Zhao Kingdom, everything here is more exquisite. Even the streets where goods are sold are like a garden every five steps, a scene every ten steps, tall buildings and beautiful houses, small bridges and flowing water.

Dragon King City covers a very large area, with the outer area being the residential area for mortals, and the inner city being the area where immortal cultivators conduct their activities, and mortals are prohibited from approaching.

Yuan Ming slightly revealed his magic power, disguised himself as an ordinary monk in the foundation building stage, and entered the inner city.

The situation in the inner city is similar to that in the outer city, except that the streets are wider, more refined, and more beautiful.

There are many monks in the inner city, and both in terms of number and cultivation level, they are better than those in places like Xiaohu City and Wangyue City.

In just a moment, Yuan Ming's consciousness had already sensed the presence of several people in the Dan Formation Stage.

The most peculiar thing is that a monk in the alchemy stage still has a demonic aura on his body, and the skin on his cheek is blue-black, with scaly patterns looming.

"I have long heard that there is a half-human and half-demon tribe in the East China Sea. It seems to be true." Yuan Ming secretly thought, but did not look more to avoid misunderstanding.

In addition to these, there is another special thing about the monks in Dragon King City. Almost everyone wears a spirit beast bag around their waist, and some even ride on spirit beasts to walk directly.

A middle-aged monk in yellow clothes rode on a two-foot-long blue spirit tiger and walked past Yuan Ming. Everyone nearby looked like he was used to it.

"The land of the East China Sea is indeed very different from the Jin and Southern Xinjiang." Yuan Ming, with thoughts in his mind, came to a shop selling books in the inner city.

At this moment, there was still half a year left before the time he and Xiying agreed upon, and he was not in a hurry to meet her. The top priority was to find a safe place to settle his parents.

Yuan Ming selected a few classics that introduced the geography of the East China Sea, and was about to pay the bill when a strong aspiration came from inside the city.

Judging from the intensity of his wish, he was clearly a monk in the elixir-forming stage.

Yuan Ming bought several classics and went to a nearby inn. He took out the silver token and opened the barrier. He entered the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and extended his spiritual consciousness.

A praying girl in white came into view, but it was Yan Sijing.

"It is indeed her." Yuan Ming was not surprised when he saw this.

He currently has only two disciples in the pill formation stage under his control, Yan Sijing and the three-eyed black dove. The three-eyed black dove is currently in the spirit beast bag, and the only one left is Yan Sijing.

Yuan Ming spread his spiritual consciousness from Yan Sijing and couldn't help but smile.

Yan Sijing was currently living in a large inn similar to a manor. The two rooms next to her were occupied by acquaintances, but they were Xiying and Yan Siyun. Many people from Baidanfang were also here.

Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, left the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, lifted the silver barrier, and left the inn.

Yan Sijing prayed in the room for a full quarter of an hour before she stopped, feeling uneasy in her heart.

During this period of time, she had been busy with Baidanfang, and she was so confused that she forgot to pray to Lord Ming Yue God. I wonder if he would blame her?

"My sister and I brought everyone from Baidanfang to Dragon King City, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the expansion of Mingyue Sect. Lord Mingyue God should not blame us." Yan Sijing thought to herself, gradually calmed down, and took out the golden beast The shadow sword is endlessly refined and refined.

The golden sword circled around her body, creating substantial sword shadows and making roaring sounds of beasts, as if she was practicing a profound sword art.

The battle in the Shura Palace made Yan Sijing realize her shortcomings in practical fighting methods. After leaving the Shura Palace, except for the matter of Baidanfang, she has been working hard to make up for it day and night.

"Well, who is it?" Yan Sijing suddenly opened her eyes and looked out into the living room.

"Haha, you can sense my breath. It seems that your strength has improved greatly." An illusory figure slowly solidified. It was Yuan Ming, who had restored his original appearance.

"Sijing has met Yuan Shenshi." Yan Sijing stood up quickly and saluted respectfully.

After passing the Shura Palace and his party, Yan Sijing fully understood Yuan Ming's terrifying strength. She respected and feared him and no longer dared to call him a Taoist friend.

"You don't have to be so formal. You and I can be considered friends who have experienced life and death together, so we can call ourselves Taoist friends." Yuan Ming smiled slightly and said.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yuan." Yan Sijing didn't say much and lowered her head and called out.

"I saw that you moved everyone from Baidanfang here? Are you planning to seek development here in the East China Sea?" Yuan Ming asked instead.

"Yes. It was Sister Xiying who suggested that we do this. She said that although there are not many spiritual materials such as spiritual grass in the East China Sea, there are a lot of spiritual materials in the sea for all kinds of monster materials, and unlike the Central Plains, once they are over-plundered, they will There will be a shortage of materials. The waters of the East China Sea are boundless and the spiritual materials in the sea are inexhaustible, which is more suitable for the development of Baidanfang. She also helped transport the other people in the factory," Yan Sijing said.

Yuan Ming's heart moved. What was the purpose of Xiying's move? Why do you go to such great lengths to help Baidanfang? Is it because of your own face?

Moreover, when did the relationship between Xi Ying and Yan Sijing become so good? When they were in Shura Palace, they still had many bumps in the road.

"The resources here in the East China Sea are indeed abundant and suitable for alchemy. If you need my help, you can bring it up. Even if I can't solve it, you can ask Lord Ming Yue for help." Since it was Xiying's idea, Yuan Ming did not go into details.

Yan Sijing was overjoyed when she heard Lord Ming Yueshen was willing to help.

She had seen with her own eyes the power of the Ming Yue God. He could kill thousand-year-old demons like Lord Six Desires, and any enemy encountered by Baidanfang was certainly not a problem.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, due to the recent relocation of Baidanfang, various things are complicated, and the people in the place have not yet been allowed to believe in the Lord Mingyue God. My sister is already planning this matter, and will ask everyone to join the Mingyue God Sect in the near future. Yan Sijing said quickly as she remembered her previous promise.

"Okay." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yuan. Since you helped us kill Patriarch Lei Ming and save Baidanfang, we sisters will naturally abide by our promise." A pleasant voice came, but it was Yan Siyun who came over.

This woman's originally dull eyes had a hint of animation for some reason, and she was looking at Yuan Ming, which made Yuan Ming feel that the other person was not blind.

In addition, this woman's cultivation level has also increased a lot, and she has reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building. After a while, she will be ready to form pills.

What's even more strange is that there is an indescribable aura lingering around Yan Siyun.

"You're here." Xiying's figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"After the matter in Dajin has been dealt with, I rushed over immediately. How is the situation here?" Yuan Ming nodded to Yan Siyun, looked at Xiying and asked.

"We have found out where the materials are, but it will take about a year before we can obtain them," Xiying said.

"One year is the right time." Yuan Ming's eyes flashed a few times and he murmured thoughtfully.

Yan Siyun arranged for a few people to sit down and brewed a few cups of spiritual tea herself.

"This is the marigold tea that is a specialty of Dragon King City. It has a unique taste and has the effect of refreshing and clearing the brain. Fellow Daoist Yuan can try it."

Yuan Ming picked up the tea cup and tasted it. It was slightly bitter in the mouth, but it soon turned into a sweet fragrance. His pubic area was slightly hot, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his spirit was really uplifted.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, I have heard that you are as meticulous as a hair, and I have a strong memory. Before coming to the East China Sea, you must have collected a lot of information about this place. Can you give me a copy of the information?" Yuan Ming put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Yan Siyun. .

"It is Siyun's honor to be recognized by fellow Taoist Yuan." Yan Siyun smiled lightly, took out a white jade slip and handed it over. At the same time, he stood up and personally made another cup of spiritual tea for Yuan Ming.
