"Of course, I will give you a brief introduction first. Wait for tomorrow and I will bring you the list of the top geniuses. There are also detailed introductions in it."
Zhao Yuanji said.
"Oh? Is there any detailed introduction? Who is in what realm?"
Xiao Chen's eyes brightened slightly, this is a good thing.
"Yes, I like to study this."
Zhao Yuanji nodded.
"Haha, this kid worships the strong and regards them as his idol..."
Zhao Ritian smiled.
"No, it's not an idol, it's a goal. I have to work hard to surpass them."
Zhao Yuanji corrected.
"Okay, sir, I'm very optimistic about you."
Zhao Ritian said and looked at Xiao Chen again.
"But, just take a look at this list. Don't completely believe it...the realm may not be real. Just like Qingyunzi, he is preparing to build a divine foundation, but it will not be reflected in the list."
"clear."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Haha, I'm just watching the fun."
"If Qingyunzi establishes the foundation of a true god, he will definitely keep it secret in the early stage to give him time to grow."
Zhao Ritian continued.
"Except for a few people, most people in Qingyun Tower will not understand it, let alone a list."
"If Qingyunzi is really a god, why should he keep it a secret? Once he builds a god's foundation, his strength will definitely increase dramatically."
Wang Pingbei asked curiously.
As the top geniuses of Qingyun Tower, their attitude towards Qingyunzi is quite complicated.
There is definitely envy, and there is also jealousy...
It is no exaggeration to say that Qingyunzi, who is also a genius, is not on the same level as them in terms of status and strength.
Qingyunzi... can be regarded as the real boss of Qingyun Tower.
Even outside the sky, he is still a person.
They all live in the shadow of Qingyunzi's halo.
The world only knows Qingyunzi, but not them.
"His divine foundation building will definitely make him more dangerous... too many people want to kill him."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"Even if he becomes stronger, everyone must pay a certain price to destroy him."
"If you want to kill him, you have to have a giant from the older generation to take action, right? The younger generation is invincible."
Zhao Yuanji said.
While they were chatting, delicious dishes were served one after another.
"Come, let's chat while we eat."
"Brother Chen, here's a toast to you. Congratulations on taking so many photos, and congratulations on your one sword move that will make the world famous."
"Haha, cheers."
"..."
The four of them chatted and laughed, raising their heads and toasting.
Through small talk, Xiao Chen also learned more about the ‘Tianbang’.
In addition to Qingyunzi from Qingyun Tower, he also had a preliminary understanding of the geniuses of other major forces.
For example, Lord Shan Hai of Shan Hai Tower, Young Master Void of Void Sword Sect, etc... including Zhao Guyan of Broken Star Palace.
This Zhao Guyan is the number one genius of Broken Star Palace, and what Zhao Ritian calls 'a proud guy who deserves to be beaten'.
"As I said before, don't trust the Heavenly List too much. Not only can you not understand a person based on the Heavenly List, but the Heavenly List cannot cover everything."
Zhao Ritian said to Xiao Chen.
"Just like Brother Chen, you were not on the Heavenly List before, but once you are born, you can be on the Heavenly List with just one blow."
"Haha, I know."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"When I first saw Brother Chen, I felt that Brother Chen was a man of heavenly proportions."
Zhao Yuanji said.
"As expected, Brother Chen is awesome."
"Hahaha, come on, have a drink."
Xiao Chen laughed, this guy is quite good at flattering.
While Xiao Chen and the four were eating and drinking, news of his stunning sword spread throughout Sifang City.
Chen Xiao is famous in Sifang City!
That means Sifangcheng doesn’t have a hot search list, otherwise it would definitely be number one.
Almost all cultivators are discussing Chen Xiao and his sword.
Of course, we also discuss the ‘rules’ of Sifang City.
Zhao Cangqiong and other big guys left the auction after taking their respective lots.
The leaders of the four forces immediately went to the city lord's palace.
They want to study 'animal skins'.
As for 'Chen Xiao', they won't talk openly about it, there are some things they know very well.
The arrangements that need to be made have been made.
Xiao Chen's strength was beyond their expectations. Some gave up and some changed their strategies.
"This is an animal skin. Can you confirm its authenticity?"
After Zhao Cangqiong sat down, he took out the animal skin.
"We still trust City Lord Zhao."
The old man of the Void Sword Sect smiled slightly.
"That's right."
The old man from the Jiuding Sect also nodded.
Gongsun Zhen didn't say anything. He still had some opinions about Zhao Cangqiong.
Especially Zhao Ritian and Zhao Yuanji got mixed up with Xiao Chen.
He wondered if Zhao Cangqiong had other ideas, such as using them to deal with Chen Xiao.
Zhao Cangqiong spread out the animal skin and looked at it carefully.
Since coming back from the auction, he hasn't looked at this animal skin.
The three old men stepped forward and looked at each other as well.
"Xuanyuan World...this is indeed the word 'Xuanyuan World'."
The old man of the Void Sword Sect pointed at three vague characters and said slowly.
"Ji Wuji, didn't your Void Sword Sect send people to Xuanyuan World many times before?"
The old man of Jiuding Sect asked.
"Did your Jiuding sect send anyone there?"
Ji Wuji pouted.
"Not all of us in the Jiuding Sect use swords. Don't you think that Emperor Xuanyuan is invincible with the Xuanyuan Sword and will definitely leave behind peerless swordsmanship?"
The old man from the Jiuding Sect looked at Ji Wuji and said.
"So, your Void Sword Sect has never given up on searching for Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance."
"The inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan is not just about peerless swordsmanship... all the major forces have never given up in these years."
Ji Wuji shook his head.
"However, there is indeed nothing discovered in Xuanyuan World...even the real Xuanyuan World has never been entered."
"Sometimes, I have to wonder if that is the real location of Xuanyuan World, otherwise why I haven't found anything yet."
Gongsun Zhen spoke slowly. He had been to that sea area more than once.
"Maybe the method is wrong. That sea area...should be Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo."
Zhao Cangqiong said.
"There are always legends, and it is impossible for all legends to be false."
"What do you see about the drawings on this animal skin?"
Ji Wuji asked.
"No."
All three of them shook their heads.
"If it were so easy to see something, Longteng Chamber of Commerce would not sell it."
The old man of Jiuding Sect said.
"I suspect that Longteng Chamber of Commerce wants to use us to do something."
"It is possible. Otherwise, if it is related to the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, how can it be spread to the outside world?"
Ji Wuji nodded.
"Even if you can't find it, it's impossible to let others know..."
"Since you can't understand it, let's talk about this animal skin."
Gongsun Zhen said in a deep voice.
"That's it, I still have things to do."
After hearing Gongsun Zhen's words, the three of them glanced at him. Are they going to deal with Chen Xiao?
"The person who committed the murder and arson has not been found yet, and there is no news from the Shengtian Sect... It's a lot of things, isn't it?"
Gongsun Zhen met the gazes of the three people and hesitated, but still did not say that Chen Xiao was the person who committed murder and arson and was a member of the Shengtian Sect.
It's not that he's merciful, it's just that the timing is wrong.
If I tell you now, they won't believe it.
hold on.
After hearing Gongsun Zhen's words, Zhao Cangqiong and the others looked a little solemn.
There is no news from Shengtian Sect...so far.
"This animal skin costs 20,000 spirit stones... Let's make three copies, and we will share the spirit stones."
Ji Wuji gave suggestions.
"Then who takes this hide?"
Gongsun Zhen asked.
The three of them were silent for a moment. Yes, although it is said that it can be completely reproduced, who can be sure that this animal skin will not have other undiscovered secrets?
"Three seniors, I will give you 8,000 spirit stones...how about the rest, 4,000 each?"
Zhao Cangqiong thought for a while and said slowly.
"When the matter in Sifang City is resolved, we will go to Xuanyuan Realm together. If there is a place where we can get animal skins, I will take them out."
"I, Shanhai Tower, don't lack these thousands of spiritual stones... Otherwise, eight thousand old men will come and get them."
Gongsun Zhen said calmly, holding objections.
"Haha, your Shanhai Tower is not bad, but my Jiuding Sect is not good?"
Huai Tianlei, an old man from the Jiuding Sect, said with a smile.
"Let's do this. Draw lots to decide who gets the animal skin."
Although Ji Wuji didn't say anything, Zhao Cangqiong knew that he might also have objections, so he changed his statement.
"Can."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
"The one who took the animal skin has eight thousand spiritual stones, and the remaining three are four thousand."
After the decision was made, the four of them drew lots, and then... Zhao Cangqiong drew the 'animal skin'.
"Three seniors, I will accept the animal skin."
Zhao Cangqiong smiled.
"..."
Gongsun Zhen and the others did not object again, nor did they doubt the result of the draw.
In front of the three of them, it was impossible for Zhao Cangqiong to cause trouble.
"The animal skin is incomplete. I hope that the appearance of the animal skin will allow the person holding the other half of the animal skin to appear."
Zhao Cangqiong put away the animal skin and said slowly.
"Let's talk about it later. I need to resolve the matter at hand first."
Gongsun Zhen stood up.
"No matter who it is, the person who killed me, Shanhailou, or plundered Shanhailou's things... I will never let him go."
"Three seniors, please continue to investigate. It is not the Shengtian Sect that is the best. If it is really the Shengtian Sect, please do not be careless."
Zhao Cangqiong also stood up.
"Um."
Ji Wuji and Huai Tianlei nodded.
"After this animal skin is engraved, I will hand it over to you in front of the three seniors."
Zhao Cangqiong said again.
"It should be enough in about three days. I will definitely let the three seniors make sure it is correct."
"Haha, as I said before, I can trust City Lord Zhao."
Ji Wuji smiled, glanced at Gongsun Zhen and Huai Tianlei, and walked out.
Gongsun Zhen and Huai Tianlei didn't stay long, especially the former, who wanted to make some arrangements.
Xiao Chen's power was beyond his expectation, so some plans had to be changed.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Ji Wuji stopped.
"Gongsun, are you still dealing with that Chen Xiao?"
"What, you want to give up?"
Gongsun Zhen looked at Ji Wuji and asked coldly.
"Haha, that kid is not weak. If you want to deal with him, you will definitely have to pay a price."
Ji Wuji smiled and did not answer directly.
"Everyone depends on his own means."
Gongsun Zhen said nothing and walked away.
"Lao Huai, tell me, can this old thing succeed?"
Ji Wuji turned to look at Huai Tianlei and asked.
"I don't know, anyway...I have given up."
Huai Tianlei shook his head.
"And you?"
"Haha, I am more interested in the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan."
Ji Wuji smiled, what he meant was...he also gave up.
