The Fourth Financial Crisis

This fairy stone located in the center of the hall has an ordinary appearance, just like a gray granite stele. If Butler Zhou hadn't taken the initiative to introduce it, Yang Lu wouldn't have been able to see its magic at all.

It can only be said that the methods of the Immortal family are mysterious and abnormal, completely beyond the understanding of earth civilization!

In the most conspicuous place directly behind the fairy stone, a wooden platform like a rostrum was erected.

Five cultivators wearing robes of different colors sat on a high platform, just like leaders preparing to review the army, overlooking the entire testing hall.

After Butler Zhou introduced the Immortal Stone, he pointed at the five superior cultivators and said: "These five guys sitting at the VIP table are the supervising immortal masters of this Immortal Ascension Conference. They respectively represent the people behind them. The forces are responsible for supervising the operation of this Immortal Ascension Conference, and they are also the most powerful figures in this Haiya City..."

Seeing Yang Lu's inquiring look, Butler Zhou first pointed to the Haiya Sect monk sitting in seat 5 and introduced: "The Haiya Sect monk on the far left who is in the late stage of foundation building is your new good friend, Haiya. The leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, Han Xinhe, is sent. He is not too old, and he is very likely to reach the Golden Core Stage in the future. He may even succeed Jiang Huaan as the leader of the Haiya Sect. He is currently the third highest ranking leader of the Haiya Sect, second only to Su Yuanfeng, President of Yu Haiya Chamber of Commerce..."

Interestingly, although Yang Lu often interacted with Han Fulai, he had never met Han Xinhe in person.

Although Han Xinhe is Han Fulai's biological uncle, perhaps because cultivators generally have good looks, he does not look much older than Han Fulai. He is a middle-aged man who looks quite similar to Han Fulai.

If Butler Zhou hadn't told him, Yang Lu would have even thought that he was Han Fulai's biological brother.

With the extremely keen five senses of a cultivator, Han Xinhe quickly noticed that Butler Zhou was pointing at him. After seeing Yang Lu beside Butler Zhou, he smiled and nodded to Yang Lu, obviously recognizing him. This young talent from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

After Yang Lu bowed his hand to Han Xinhe in return, Butler Zhou continued to introduce: "The middle-stage foundation-building monk in the golden knife gate costume next to Han Xinhe is Xu Yannan, the monetary policy observer of the Lingshi Reserve Bank in Haiya City. He is Master Qingyang. His proud disciple, his ancestor Xu Xihong once worked for Governor Lu Yang himself, and had a deep friendship with Mr. Qingyang and the head of the Shenhuo Sect, Tian Daxiao. Unfortunately, this senior Xu Xihong was already old when he met Governor Lu, and he died more than 400 years ago. Yuan Changchang. Since you were sent by Chen Ping to help the eldest lady, you must be familiar with Mr. Xu..."

Xu Yannan's appearance looks even younger than Han Xinhe's, like a well-groomed young business elite.

Although his level of cultivation is lower than that of Han Xinhe, as a special representative jointly sent by the Lingshi Reserve Bank and the Golden Knife Sect, his seat is still ahead of Han Xinhe's, ranking third in the VIP seat of the Ascension Conference.

Yang Lu had only met Chen Ping before, and had never met Chen Ping's master Xu Yannan, but Xu Yannan obviously recognized his identity through Butler Zhou and nodded slightly to him and Butler Zhou respectively, which was regarded as a greeting.

After Butler Zhou returned the greeting to Xu Yannan, he pointed to the gray-robed monk sitting in the fourth seat on the far right of the VIP table: "I have never seen this person before. Judging from his clothes, he should be a foundation-building monk of the Mountain Eagle Sect. Since he can As the representative of the monks from other places, it is most likely Fei Fan, the elder of the Mountain Eagle Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, who oversees the operation of the Immortal Ascension Conference in Haiya City.”

Elder Fei from the Mountain Eagle Sect obviously didn't know Butler Zhou.

Seeing a strange Foundation Establishment Stage monk looking at him, he just cast a suspicious look and made no other expression.

Butler Zhou then pointed to the monk in blue and white robes who was sitting in the second seat of the VIP table: "The late-stage foundation-building monk of the Wuliang Sword Sect next to Fei Fan is Lu Anping, the special trade representative of the Wuliang Sword Sect stationed in Haiya City. This is the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. Master Lu’s white gloves. His job is to select cultivation seedlings with high spiritual roots for the Wuliang Sword Sect from among the immortal seekers at this Immortal Ascension Conference. However, the Wuliang Sword Sect always adheres to the principle of choosing new disciples rather than too many, and almost only recruits Immortal seekers with middle-grade spiritual root qualifications and above often cannot recruit any new disciples after the entire Immortal Ascension Conference."

Noticing the strangeness in Steward Zhou's statement, Yang Lu wondered: "Why is it said that the Infinite Sword Sect 'almost' only recruits immortal seekers with middle-grade spiritual roots or above? Are there any exceptions?"

Butler Zhou smiled and replied: "The reason is very simple. In the past 7,000 years, the Wuliang Sword Sect has indeed recruited a low-level spiritual root disciple. His name is Lu Yang, who is the founder of the Spiritual Stone Reserve Bank." !”

Lu Anping is a middle-aged man with a stern face, and he seems to be very difficult to get along with.

Compared to the polite responses from several others, Master Lu just frowned slightly after noticing Butler Zhou's actions and pretended not to see anything.

As a leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect who relies on Du Zhitang, he obviously does not need to give Li Qingning any face.

After introducing Lu Anping's situation, Butler Zhou had no intention of continuing the introduction.

The cultivator sitting in the center of the VIP seat was of a rich physique and was wearing a Haiya sect robe similar to Han Xinhe's style, but the decoration was more ornate, with a very mysterious and complex Xianjia magic circle drawn on the surface, which looked extraordinary.

Yang Lu had just met this local squire-like cultivator of the Haiya Sect a few days ago at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. He was the only great cultivator of the Golden Core Stage in Haiya City, the lord of Haiya City, and the leader of the Haiya Sect. Jiang Hua'an!

City Lord Jiang obviously also noticed the way several people around him greeted Yang Lu. Seeing Yang Lu bowing his hands and saluting him from afar, Jiang Hua'an only gave him a meaningful look in return.

The interaction between Yang Lu and the five supervising immortal masters was naturally hidden from the eyes of those who cared.

While Zhu Ziming was waiting for the spiritual root test, he focused almost all his attention on Yang Lu. When he saw that three of the five supervising immortal masters took the initiative to greet Yang Lu, he was almost jealous to the point of separation. .

To a cultivator, mortals are like dog-like existences.

After Zhu Ziming entered the test hall, even his master Lu Anping didn't look at him, let alone take the initiative to say hello.

Initially, Zhu Ziming didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, cultivators are inherently superior beings!

But when he saw that Yang Lu was like a big star and had several supervising immortal masters show their favor frequently, he really couldn't hold it any longer.

Yang Lu didn't seem to do anything, but Li Qingning came to him for no apparent reason, and Han Fulai fawned over him as if he had found his long-lost biological father. Even big bosses like Jiang Hua'an, Han Xinhe, and Xu Yannan were flirting with him!

Is there any way to do this?

Just when Butler Zhou introduced several VIP bosses to Yang Lu, the Immortal Ascension Conference was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Under the guidance of the Qi Refining Stage monks of the Haiya Sect who were responsible for maintaining order, the boys and girls who had come from all over to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference had lined up in front of the Immortal Marble Stone and placed their right hands on the surface of the stone tablet one after another.

However, the Immortal Stone is like an ordinary stone tablet. No matter how these boys and girls tested it, it did not change at all. Yang Lu knew that this should be a sign that he had not tested his spiritual root qualifications.

Seeing that the Immortal Stone remained indifferent, all the boys and girls who participated in the test showed extreme disappointment. Some even burst into tears on the spot. It seemed that they could not accept the cruel fact that they did not have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. They obviously broke down emotionally.
