Dongzhou Shang Kingdom, Yushu City.
Chu Xuan Ji and Pan Cheng Feng traveled for a month and finally arrived at Shang State, an important city.
Looking at the big city in front of him, Pan Chengfeng said excitedly: "It is worthy of being a big city in Shang State. Is this the same city as Licheng?"
Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Yes, most of the people here are monks or their families. There are 30 million people in the city. This is also the hometown of the Shang Kingdom's royal family~"
Pan Chengfeng was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Is the Shang royal family also a family of immortal cultivators?"
Chu Xuanji explained: "The first emperor of Shang State, Shang Qin, was a combined cultivator, but he abdicated after only being emperor for a hundred years. One reason was that the emperor was too busy and had no time to practice.
Secondly, it is not a good thing for cultivators to have long-term contact with mortals, so when Shang Qin abdicated, he set down the ancestral precepts: "Anyone whose cultivation level exceeds the foundation-building stage cannot serve as an emperor in the mortal world." This ancestral precept was also absorbed by many sects and taken as a warning.
The Shang family is also the second most powerful family in the Shang Kingdom~"
"The second family?" Pan Chengfeng asked curiously, "Then which family is the first family?"
Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Of course it's the Shangguan family. The Yu Lei Sect is the number one sect in Dongzhou, and the Shangguan family is also the number one force in the Yu Lei Sect. The Shangguan family is naturally the number one family in Shangguo, and even the number one family in Dongzhou!"
Pan Chengfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Since Shangjia is so powerful, it seems that there is no one with the surname Shang among the top ten sects in Dongzhou? Am I remembering correctly, brother?"
Chu Xuanji whispered: “Shangri-La naturally did not establish a sect, because their children are all in that sect.”
"That?" Pan Chengfeng understood and said with a smile: "I was wondering, how could such a powerful family not have a sect? So that's how it is."
Chu Xuanji continued: “Although the Shangguan family is the number one family, the strength of the merchants should not be underestimated.”
The two talked as they walked towards the city. Pan Chengfeng planned to stay here for two days, rest his feet, and also visit the prosperous city of Shang State.
Although the city is not like the world Pan Chengfeng traveled through before, with tall buildings everywhere, there are three-, four-, seven- and eight-story attics everywhere, and there are also quite a few that have more than ten floors.
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the tall tower in the center of the city. Pan Chengfeng swept his spiritual sense and found that it had 99 floors and was several hundred meters high!
Chu Xuanji smiled and explained: "That tall tower is the Pagoda of Wishes. The blessings and wishes of mortals will be condensed into crystal beads after being condensed by the formation inside the tower."
Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "I see. I'm just curious as to how it was built so high~"
After walking around the city for a few hours, Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Let's go to the Wanbao Pavilion here to rest today. The owner of this pavilion has some friendship with my brother~"
Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Brother knows people from such a far place. He really has a wide range of friends~"
Chu Xuanji explained: "We all knew each other in Qin State. As the heads of branches and sub-branches, we don't have much time to go out. Even my brother's teacher can't go out for hundreds of years."
Pan Chengfeng asked curiously, "Isn't there someone looking after the business? Why is he so busy?"
Chu Xuanji smiled and said, "Brother, think about it. We have to organize an auction every year. Can we get away? I came with you this time, and we have to rush back within three months, otherwise we will miss the Licheng auction."
"I see." Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "Brother is really amazing. He has to practice, make pills, and take care of the Wanbao Pavilion business. I'm really sorry that I troubled you to bring me out this time~"
Chu Xuanji waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Anyway, my brother has to come to see the Grand Master every few years. This time he came to see the teacher in advance."
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at Wanbao Pavilion in Yushu City.
Chu Xuanji came to the gatekeeper and bowed slightly, saying: "I am Chu Xuanji, the Pavilion Master of Wanbao Pavilion in Licheng, Great Zhou, and I would like to see your Pavilion Master Ding~"
The gatekeeper glanced at him casually and said impatiently: "The Pavilion Master is meeting an important guest, you wait~"
Pan Chengfeng smiled secretly and said in a voice transmission: "Let brother experience the feeling of being rejected~"
Chu Xuanji frowned and said, "It's just a report. It's not your turn to decide whether Pavilion Master Ding wants to see him or not, right?"
This gatekeeper has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, which shows that the Wanbao Pavilion here is of higher standard than that in Licheng, and the Pavilion Master here is naturally of higher level than Chu Xuan Ji.
There are subdivisions within the Wanbao Pavilion. Chu Xuanji Licheng Wanbao Pavilion can only be considered a third-class pavilion, while Yushu City Wanbao Pavilion is a first-class pavilion.
Although Pan Chengfeng found it funny, he didn't continue to tease Chu Xuanji. He said in a voice transmission, "Brother, why don't you just send him a communication talisman?"
The person is inside, and it would be a waste to use a communication talisman at such a close distance. Although a top-grade crystal bead is nothing to Chu Xuan Ji, this is definitely a loss of face.
Chu Xuanji glanced at the gatekeeper and sneered, "I still have to see Pavilion Master Ding today, you'd better pray that you don't lose your job."
Chu Xuan Ji took out the communication talisman, muttered a few words silently, and sent it out.
I thought Pavilion Master Ding would come out soon, but after waiting for an hour I didn't see Pavilion Master Ding or the people sent by Pavilion Master Ding.
Chu Xuanji was really angry this time, and suppressed his anger and said, "Brother, let's go~ find an inn to rest."
Seeing that Chu Xuanji was really angry, or a little sad, Pan Chengfeng quickly comforted him: "Brother, you don't have to be like this, in fact, you should be happy~"
Chu Xuanji said unhappily, "Why do you say that, little brother? I have a deep friendship with Pavilion Master Ding, but I didn't expect to be treated so coldly today. I feel really uncomfortable."
Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Brother, think about it, because of this little thing today, you have seen clearly the person you thought was a 'good friend', wouldn't you feel less uncomfortable?"
Chu Xuanji seemed to be thinking about something, and Pan Chengfeng continued, "Think about it from another angle. If it hadn't happened today, and one day my brother trusted him with his back, and he suddenly hit me, wouldn't it be too late to know who this person was then?"
Chu Xuanji suddenly realized: "What my brother said makes sense, just like what Chu Hao did before, it's too late to regret~"
After Chu Xuanji figured it out, he laughed and said, "My brother is really good at comforting people. After hearing this, I feel much better. What my brother said is right. Let's go, let's go have a drink~"
Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "How can I comfort you? I am just telling you the truth. My brother shouldn't drink alcohol now. Have you forgotten?"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory~" Chu Xuanji grabbed Pan Chengfeng's arm and said, "Then let's go to the inn first, and I'll make you a pot of Kung Fu tea~"
The two were about to leave when someone suddenly called out from behind, "Seniors, please stay!"
Pan Chengfeng said calmly: "Brother, don't pay attention to him, let's go~"
