Chapter 198 Zhou Qingyuan
At this time, Tianxing City was crowded. In addition to the Jiedan monks who came from afar, there were also people from various business alliance sects.
Looking around, the surging crowds almost squeezed the entire Tianxing City without any place to take off.
Fortunately, Ling Yuling knew the architectural layout of Tianxing City very well. He took Lu Yunze and avoided the crowds and walked towards a secluded corner of the market.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, I understand that these Dan-King Cultivators will come to the Star Picking Conference. It is normal for those business alliances to send people to do business, but why are these big and small sects also sent people here? It can't be that they also want to compete for the position of island master, or they also want to do some business?"
Looking at the crowd coming and going not far away, Lu Yunze couldn't help asking in confusion.
Ling Yuling sighed when she heard this and said helplessly to Lu Yunze:
"To be honest with Senior Lu, among these large and small sects, some small and medium sects just want to see in advance which position the island master belongs to. They are ready to prepare corresponding gifts and have a good relationship with the new island master, at least they will not be targeted by the new island master."
"And those big forces have already made investments in advance and selected the island owners they think are the most suitable. This time, we came here to see which threatening opponents are there to prepare in advance. Whether it is threatening or temptation, they are all showing their magical powers and must let their people as the island owner."
Speaking of this, Ling Yuling couldn't help frowning, and a chill appeared in his eyes.
"So blatant?" Lu Yunze couldn't help but hop off when he heard this.
"Don't you care about your Star Palace?"
Ling Yuling sighed helplessly, spread his hands and said, "Senior, the sea of chaos is so big, and some things are beyond our reach. Therefore, we divided the twelve star islands in the inner and twenty-four star islands in the outer to stabilize the rule of the center of the sea. As for the order of the outer sea, this century-old star-picking conference is the best way we can think of. At least in this way, even if the island owner is attracted by the local major forces, it will only take a hundred years, and they dare not do too much. The local sea areas will not be operated by those major forces into iron barrels, thus becoming their territory."
Lu Yunze sighed when he heard this. Sure enough, as long as there are people, these messy things will not be cut off.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, I have another problem." Lu Yunze touched his chin and swept his spiritual sense over the monks outside. Suddenly, he found some monks in white who were standing aside and recording something with concentration.
"The Star Palace held this Star Picking Conference to use this to find out the approximate number and specific situation of the high-level monks in the Chaos Star Sea, right?"
Ling Yuling was slightly stunned, and then smiled indifferently.
"Senior Lu knows that Xinggong does have this idea. This is not a shameful thing. Most people know this, but they are just too lazy to expose it."
"Sure enough..." Lu Yunze nodded slightly.
No wonder those monks in white look open and upright.
It seems that this Star Palace has ruled the chaotic star sea for so long that it has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even these arrogant and arrogant monks of Jiedan have agreed to this.
Lu Yunze raised his head and said that the sun was approaching the sky. There was less than an hour left before the official start of the Star Picking Conference.
Above Tianxing City, twenty-four white jade platforms rose out of thin air and sank high in the air.
There was a faint flash of spiritual light on it, and some extraordinary restrictions were obviously imposed.
"Please look at Senior Lu, it's the arena for Seniors Jiedan to compete in the Star Picking Conference." Ling Yuling introduced to Lu Yunze with a smile.
Lu Yunze glanced casually for a few seconds, then looked away without caring.
Seeing this, Ling Yuling moved, and there was no strange expression on her face. She was still walking in front of her with a smile to lead the way for Lu Yunze.
The two of them walked for a short time this time and arrived at the gate of an elegantly decorated restaurant in the market.
There is no plaque in the restaurant, only a huge wine jar is placed at the door, emitting unscrupulously the mellow aroma of wine and pure spiritual power.
Next to the wine jar, a thin old man who looked energetic was standing there straight, smelling the scent of the wine with a happy look on his face.
Lu Yunze swept his spiritual sense and looked over in surprise.
This old man actually has the cultivation level of the late stage of the Killing Pill, and his true essence is pure and his spiritual power is abundant. He is only one step away from the fake infant realm at the peak of the Killing Pill.
"Old Zhou?" Ling Yuling walked forward and shouted with a smile.
The old man trembled all over, his eyes turned around in confusion, and he stared at Ling Yuling blankly.
After a while, the old man showed a sudden realization and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"So it's Xiaoyou Ling, why did you come to me today if you have time?"
Ling Yuling looked him up and down, then burst into laughter, and said with a hint of teasing in his tone:
"Mr. Zhou, are you drunk?"
The old man waved his hand quickly, with an unhappy look on his face.
"What is this? Although I am addicted to alcohol, I am not the drunken drunk all day long. Today I just smell the fragrance of the wine here, why are you drunk?"
Ling Yuling smiled and turned sideways to let Lu Yunze in front of him.
"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you to you. This is Senior Lu Yunze and Lu, and a friend of mine. He likes weapon refining techniques on weekdays. Today I want to take advantage of the rare opportunity of Star Picking Conference to communicate with other weapon refiners. I hope Mr. Zhou can recommend one or two."
After Ling Yuling finished speaking, she turned around with a smile and said to Lu Yunze:
"Senior Lu, this is Zhou Qingyuan, Mr. Zhou. He is the head of Fengle Alliance, one of the four major business alliances, in Tianxing City. He has a wide connection and I believe he can help you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingyuan looked at Lu Yunze up and down, and a passionate smile appeared on his face.
"My fellow Taoist cultivation is extraordinary. Most of the weapon refiners I know are at most, and at most they are only at the foundation-building stage, and very few can go up to the next level. Since fellow Taoist can practice both weapon refining techniques and magic power at the same time, he must be a rare genius."
Lu Yunze's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at Ling Yuling, who was full of innocent faces from the corner of his eyes.
Of course, Lu Yunze heard the vague suspicion in the old man's words.
It's no wonder that as he said, almost no master who is proficient in weapon refining skills can break through the Dan Killing Stage.
After all, the art of refining weapons is a profound method that is easy to learn but difficult to master. Without decades of hard study, it is almost impossible to achieve anything.
And how many decades have ordinary foundation-building monks been there?
Even if someone practices art of weapon skills after advanced to form pills, most of them can only learn the basics.
When you reach that level, there are too many choices that monks face. How many people will spend a lot of time on the method of refining weapons that is long and may not be able to get much reward?
It is rare to say that high-level monks who can really calm down and devote themselves to the art of refining weapons.
Most high-level monks only studied for more than ten years, and they could only use it for themselves to refine magic weapons.
In this process, in order to learn advanced weapon refining methods as much as possible, the magic weapons they refine can be more powerful. These high-level monks can be said to be able to do anything.
It is basically a routine operation to pretend to be a weapon refiner and sneak into the exchange meeting.
Lu Yunze looked at Zhou Qingyuan's kind eyes and knew in his heart that if he didn't show his skills now, the person in front of him would probably not be much easier to talk to.
