I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chu Shen had no desire to get involved in the affairs of the Great Yan Xian Dynasty. He preferred to live a peaceful life and let the county magistrate and Zhao Hu handle the frontline battles. He simply wanted a quiet and peaceful existence.

Now that he had been recognized, there was no way to avoid it. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "I am just a scholar from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. I haven't been involved in worldly matters for a long time."

Jiao Cheng thought to himself, "I don't believe you!"

Whether it was the eradication of the fake bandits or the major earthquake in the Qizhou Prefecture, the Zhanlong Army knew about it. Chu Shen had played a role in both incidents. But his appearance of not wanting to get involved made Jiao Cheng feel uncomfortable.

He couldn't just confront him directly and say, "I know everything Chu Gongzi has done, so why are you pretending?"

Who are you?

"Of course, Chu Gongzi has a bright future ahead of him. It is not something that ordinary people like us can measure. This trip, are you going to the Fumu Mountain to participate in the Alchemy Conference?"

As long as he didn't make any exaggerated requests, such as donations or alliances, Chu Shen relaxed a little and said, "Yes, the Fuyuan Pavilion is one of the largest alchemy businesses in the cultivation world. I have learned alchemy at the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, so naturally I want to go and learn from it."

"In that case, I wish Chu Gongzi great success and a bright future," Jiao Cheng bowed and had someone bring something from the Zhu Jing ship of the Great Yan Xian Dynasty. "We are soldiers and don't have much to offer as gifts. We will use this ill-gotten wealth from the Zhu Jing ship to make up for it. Please accept it, Chu Gongzi."

Chu Shen maintained a righteous expression and said, "General Jiao is too kind. I don't deserve any rewards for doing nothing. Besides, your army is fighting against the Xian Dynasty with limited resources. Can I help in any way?"

"Chu Gongzi is being too modest. The Zhanlong Army has greatly benefited from your assistance. This is just a small token of appreciation," Jiao Cheng's words puzzled Chu Shen. How did I help them?

"How should General Jiao explain this?"

Jiao Cheng looked confused, not understanding the situation. Suddenly, he had a look of realization and said, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, how can we say it like this? It's just normal business, normal business. These things are just a way for us to show appreciation to our friendly merchants."

In Chu Shen's mind, he shouted, "What exactly happened in Nanping City? How did it get involved with the Zhanlong Army?"

However, he remained calm on the surface and accepted the gift.

He quickly wanted to resolve this matter and return to Nanping City to find out what had happened during the few months he was away.

Seeing that he accepted the gift, Jiao Cheng took his leave with a happy expression, as if he had accomplished something by giving the gift.

This is unbelievable!

As they watched the Zhanlong Army and their captives disappear into the distance, Li Jinrong curiously opened the box that Jiao Cheng had sent and was amazed. "Black Jade Lingzhi, Lingxiang Cuiyun, Wanzai Bingxin 'Blood Ginseng'... These are all excellent materials!"

Chu Shen suppressed his doubts and looked over. Inside the not-so-large box were many transparent jade boxes, each containing various materials of a certain quality. They were all treasures that could be considered heavenly and earthly, some of which he had only seen in his spiritual jade slips and had never come into contact with before.

These things couldn't be bought with gold or silver, and using spirit stones would also be costly. They were probably specially purchased by Zhu Jingchuan for certain high-ranking officials and even the emperor of the Dayan Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by the Zhanlong Army and then handed over to him.

This gift was not light!

But he didn't smile. Instead, he said to Li Jinrong, "Look at you, so easily swayed by such a small thing?"

Li Jinrong raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you looking for trouble, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Shen shouted, "If they are willing to send this thing, it must be because they want to take more from me!"

Li Jinrong nodded, "That's true. What do they want to take from you?"

"That's the problem, I don't know," Chu Shen pinched his brow, unable to figure it out. "Forget it, I'll go back to Nanping City later and ask. For now, let's put away the things and go to Fumu Mountain."

Although there was this little incident, it did not affect Fan Shen's group from reaching Jishu Mountain.

Even before entering the main body of Fumu Mountain, they could already see more flying boats and other means of transportation in the sky, as well as many cultivators riding flying swords or strange beasts.

Towns and even cities began to appear on the ground, and the population density significantly increased.

In the distance, Fumu Mountain, floating in the air, had already revealed its massive form amidst the clouds and mist.

It had an overall M shape, with two parallel highest peaks and various other peaks of different heights scattered around, forming the base of the entire floating mountain. It was said to have twelve sects and three thousand scattered cultivators among them.

"It's really spectacular!" Li Jinrong looked at Fumu Mountain in the distance with a bit of fascination.

Chu Shen said, "If we're talking about being spectacular, it can't compare to Langxun Heavenly Palace. Just the Chongxue Peak alone is more magnificent than the twin peaks of Fumu Mountain. But this kind of floating mountain does have a visual impact when seen from a distance, it can deceive the senses."

"You're such a killjoy..."

Chu Shen didn't indulge her, "Don't just focus on the scenery, let's get ready to enter the berth!"

Fumu Mountain does not allow boats from outside to enter the range of the suspended mountain, in order to avoid excessive chaos and prevent people from taking advantage of the situation to cause damage. At the same time, it is also for the sake of the internal boat business.

This point is quite commercial, and it has been criticized by the practitioners who come and go to the mountains.

However, the service attitude of the boat docking area, or the Fumu Mountain Port, is very good. Compared with the deserted Langhuan Heavenly Palace Gate and Tuantian, where people spend their days sleeping and practicing, there is a bustling scene here, with countless boats competing and thousands of sails racing. It is visible to the naked eye.

The scale of Fumu Mountain Port is already comparable to that of some major cities in the immortal dynasty.

Pedestrians in the city are bustling, not to mention rubbing shoulders and sweating profusely, it can also be said that the flow of people is endless, and the traffic is like a dragon.

Among them, the proportion of practitioners is very high, almost half of them are ordinary people. Although most of them are at the Qi Refining third, fourth, and fifth levels, they are likely to be ordinary people who have only practiced some basic cultivation methods. Without cultivation resources, their potential is probably limited to this.

There are also many strange races that do not seem to be human in the crowd, not only demons, but also seemingly races from other worlds.

"We can't fly yet. We have to rent a flying exotic beast or rent a boat. The venue for the alchemy conference is at the main gate of the largest sect in Fumu Mountain, the Yuwang Sect, which is located on the suspended mountain," Li Jinrong said to Chu Shen while looking around at the peculiarities.

Chu Shen bought some snacks like candied haws to please Lu Wuxia, and then said, "No rush. I asked before at the docking area. The Yuwang Sect does not have a guesthouse. Only famous alchemists and cultivators above the Spirit Gathering stage can stay there. Even if we go to observe the ceremony, we still need to find an inn in Fumu Mountain Port to stay first."

Li Jinrong hadn't noticed this before, but she nodded and agreed with Chu Shen's suggestion.

At this time, although there were many people coming to participate in the alchemy conference, it had not yet reached its peak. The four of them quickly found a satisfactory inn.

It was just when Chu Shen arrived at his own room that he found a flyer with information about romantic encounters stuffed in the crack of the door, which made him speechless.

The commercial atmosphere in Fumu Mountain Port is really strong.
