Longevity: Building A Tiandao Family From The World Of Cultivating Immortals
Chapter 28 The Four Families Of Fallen Cloud City
"Senior, now that you have obtained the jade slip of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, can you remove the talismans on my body? I feel like they are about to explode!"
The scar-faced man said anxiously with a worried expression.
Lu Changfeng glanced at him and waved his hand. Ten fireball talismans flew from the scar-faced man's body into his storage bag.
Looking up at the darkening sky.
They had already spent six hours in this mountain forest, and they might not make it to the auction in Fallen Cloud City.
As Lu Changfeng was about to leave, he smiled and said, "I'm a bit short on spirit stones recently. Could you lend me ten thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
The scar-faced man's heart was bleeding!
These spirit stones were painstakingly accumulated by him over ten years.
"Yes, yes, of course, how could our little village not have a gift for you, senior!" The scar-faced man, with tears in his eyes, handed over the ten thousand low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag to Lu Changfeng.
He hoped that this heartless devil would leave soon.
Lu Changfeng chuckled and said, "May I ask for the name of the village master? If I have the chance, I will return the ten thousand low-grade spirit stones I just borrowed."
"I am called Shi Yan," the scar-faced man replied, his face turning green.
Damn it!
This kid still wants to come back and extort me. My goodness! Is he even human?
Is it easy for me to rob houses day and night, risking my life at times?
This kid is even more ruthless than a bandit.
No, I have to stay far away from him.
After he leaves, I'll immediately move the village so he can't find me again.
"Shi Yan, I will remember this name. We may meet again if fate allows," Lu Changfeng said as he disappeared into the evening sunset.
Shi Yan let out a sigh of relief. "This gentleman has finally left."
----------------
Late at night, the full moon hung high in the sky.
Lu Changfeng ran through the forest, using talismans to kill several monsters that blocked his way.
The next day, he encountered several scheming cultivators in the mountains, engaging in intrigue and power struggles.
Finally, on the third day, he arrived at Fallen Cloud City.
Fallen Cloud City was twenty zhang high, with walls made of the hardest diamond and layers of formations set up by formation masters. The city was extremely sturdy, even a Second Grade monster would have a hard time breaking through the walls.
Groups of soldiers in armor patrolled the city walls.
Fallen Cloud City had a total of four Eight Grade cultivation families.
Each of these families had an Elder at the Foundation Building Stage, ruling over the four regions of Fallen Cloud City.
At the city gates, there were mostly cultivators and few ordinary people.
Moreover, the majority of cultivators were below the third level of Qi Refining.
This was because of the ancient war and the changes in the heavenly dao, which made the cultivation environment extremely difficult.
If one couldn't break through a small realm within ten years, their physical body would decay, and the spiritual energy they had cultivated so hard would return to the heavens and earth.
In addition, resources were also very scarce.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators might never be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in their lifetime.
Lu Changfeng entered Fallen Cloud City and was stunned by the bustling scene.
The city was filled with lights and revelry, with numerous shops. Some cute-looking monsters were being led around like pets, and cultivators walked the streets like ordinary people. The vendors on both sides of the street shouted loudly to attract customers.
Lu Changfeng, like a country bumpkin entering a grand garden, couldn't take his eyes off the bustling Fallen Cloud City.
He then went to an inn, ordered a table of food and a medium-sized room, and comfortably spent the night there.
The next day arrived.
He stood in front of a magnificent palace, gazing at the three large characters on the plaque that read "Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
Lu Changfeng was taken aback.
The name of this auction, Myriad Treasures Pavilion, differed by only one character from Hundred Treasures Pavilion in Fallen Cloud Town.
And undoubtedly, Hundred Treasures Pavilion was definitely riding on the fame of the former.
"Halt! Do you have an invitation? Without an invitation, you need to pay an entrance fee of one thousand low-grade spirit stones and a deposit of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to enter," a golden-armored guard stopped Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng sighed, "Damn, the entrance fee is actually one thousand low-grade spirit stones. It's faster than robbing someone."
"May I ask where to pay the entrance fee and deposit?"
"It's in the adjacent room."
"Thank you!"
Lu Changfeng turned and left.
The guard looked at Lu Changfeng's back and sneered, "I really don't know where this country bumpkin came from. He doesn't even understand the rules of entering Myriad Treasures Pavilion, yet he dares to participate in the auction. He must have money but nowhere to spend it, showing off."
Lu Changfeng frowned.
It seemed like he was being looked down upon.
Should he show off his wealth first, pay a deposit of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, and slap the other party's face hard?
Sigh!
Forget it.
Being ostentatious is not my style.
Playing dumb and acting tough is my favorite.
After paying the entrance fee and deposit, and receiving a token numbered eighty-eight.
Lu Changfeng entered the interior of the auction.
There were still three hours before the auction began.
Looking at the few people sparsely seated.
Lu Changfeng realized that he had arrived early.
So he found his seat and waited quietly.
As time passed.
More and more cultivators entered the auction.
However, they were all small characters. The real big shots would only appear at the end.
Half an hour later.
The previously quiet auction became crowded and lively, with continuous noise and commotion.
Lu Changfeng learned from a cultivator sitting next to him that Myriad Treasures Pavilion was established by a second-grade cultivation family in Tianzhou.
This cultivation family's business spread throughout the entire Vermilion Bird Continent, and they even had establishments in the distant Black Tortoise Continent. Their influence was incredibly vast.
The family had thrived for thousands of years and was becoming more prosperous. Their Nascent Soul ancestors were no less than five, and any one of them could dominate a province. They were extremely powerful.
"Have you seen the young man with a rectangular face and wearing a blue robe in the VIP room? He is the eldest young master of the Tie Family, one of the four major families in Fallen Cloud City. He is not even thirty years old and has already cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, he is proficient in the art of refining. He will take over the Tie Family in the future."
The cultivator next to Lu Changfeng incessantly talked about the power of Fallen Cloud City.
"There are also the Ding Family, Liu Family, and Zhuge Family. They are the rulers of Fallen Cloud City."
"But the successor of the Ding Family was killed by an inner disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect ten years ago. They have declined a lot in recent years, and the Foundation Building ancestor of the Ding Family is about to face a calamity. So in these twenty years, he has been desperately taking concubines and having children, just to cultivate a successor in his lifetime."
"I heard that the Ding Family patriarch recently married a daughter from a ninth-grade family on the outskirts."
"This woman is extraordinary. She became pregnant less than a month after marrying the Ding Family patriarch, and now she is already over three months pregnant, and the fetus has formed."
"So the Ding Family patriarch spent a lot of money to have someone test the spiritual roots of this fetus, only to find that it is a pure gold spiritual root, with the potential to have a Gold Core."
"Now the Ding Family patriarch is overjoyed. He not only treats the woman with utmost respect and favor, but also sends a hundred-year spirit medicine to feed her every few days."
"And that woman is arrogant to the extreme. With a single whip, she can whip the servants of the Ding Family to death. She even dug out the eyes of the Ding Family patriarch's original wife and locked her up in a pigsty, living like an animal."
