The City Lord's Mansion is the strongest force in Qianhe City. It is located in the very center area. Although it is a mansion in name, there are towering and gorgeous buildings in the City Lord's Mansion, which are full of brilliance and incomparable majesty.
Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can't help but feel insignificant, as if you are looking up at a mountain.
When Qin Xuan arrived outside the city lord's palace, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
He originally thought that the strength of Qianhe City was similar to that of Zhongxingtian's top city, so the size of the city lord's palace should be about the same as Tianxuan Palace. However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that his idea was too simple.
Before he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he could already feel that the spiritual energy inside was extremely strong. He must have built many spirit gathering arrays to gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Although there are also spirit gathering arrays in Tianxuan Palace,
Far inferior to the magic circle in the city lord's palace.
A deep meaning flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes. There is such a powerful spirit gathering array in the city lord's palace. I don't know how strong the city lord has reached. Even if he has not stepped into the divine realm, he must be not far behind.
Although Qin Xuan was curious about this, there was no trace of emotion on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion. Please follow me to see the Young City Lord." The man looked at Qin Xuan and said.
"Let's go." Qin Xuan nodded lightly, with some expectation in his heart. He didn't know what kind of person that unrivaled young city lord was.
Under the guidance of that person, Qin Xuan shuttled between buildings. Along the way, he saw a lot of beautiful scenery, which was pleasing to the eye and felt like entering a fairyland on earth.
Not long after, Qin Xuan and others stopped in front of a courtyard with a unique environment. The man said to Qin Xuan: "The young city lord is inside. You can see it when you go in."
"knew."
Qin Xuan replied casually, and immediately stepped into the courtyard. He saw that the scenery in the courtyard was very beautiful, and his vision suddenly broadened a lot.
The undulating mountains stand on the earth, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky. Under the mountains, there is a turquoise lake, sparkling, beautiful and picturesque, unlike anything in the world.
"What a beautiful scenery." Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really unexpected that there was such a scenery hidden in a courtyard.
Qin Xuan looked around, and then stopped in one direction. He saw a huge stone there. Sitting on the huge stone was a figure in green, with long hair tied behind his head, giving off a somewhat elegant temperament like a scholar. After looking carefully, he saw
There is a hint of hermit mystery.
I saw a look of surprise on Qin Xuan's face, but it was not because of his temperament, but because of what he was holding in his hand.
It turned out to be a fishing rod.
This person is fishing.
"It's interesting." Qin Xuan's eyes showed a strange light. The famous young city lord was fishing in the city lord's palace. If this matter were to spread outside, countless people would be shocked.
I saw Qin Xuan stepping out and walking towards where Ji Lantian was. With Qin Xuan's cultivation level, he could naturally be silent and not make any sound.
But in the blink of an eye, Qin Xuan came to Ji Lantian's side, took a closer look, and found that this man was handsome, with clear facial features, and his dark eyes were always staring at the lake, as if he had not noticed his arrival at all.
.
Seeing that Ji Lantian was concentrating on fishing, Qin Xuan did not disturb him, sat down on the boulder, and began to close his eyes and rest.
Time passed by little by little, and from time to time a breeze blew through the space, causing ripples on the lake surface. However, Ji Lantian's face was always so calm and indifferent, like an old monk in meditation, sitting there.
He was motionless, as if nothing could attract his attention.
Although Qin Xuan closed his eyes, his thoughts enveloped the surrounding space, and Ji Lantian's every move was completely presented in his mind.
He was quite surprised in his heart. It was really remarkable that this person could do such an ordinary thing. If it were other practitioners, they would have lost their patience.
Ordinary things are like this, and he must be more persistent in practice. No wonder he can achieve such dazzling achievements. In addition to his own talent, it also has a lot to do with his character.
After some time, Qin Xuan seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked above the lake.
At the same time, Ji Lantian raised his arm, raising the slender fishing line high, and saw a golden carp hanging at the end of the fishing line, its body twisting continuously in the air, as if trying to break free.
A smile appeared in Ji Lantian's eyes, and he threw the fishing rod in his hand directly into the air. Then with a pop sound, the fishing rod and the carp fell into the lake together, and ripples suddenly appeared on the lake.
Qin Xuan looked puzzled when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but look at Ji Lantian and asked: "Why did you abandon the fishing rod?"
Ji Lantian finally looked at Qin Xuan and smiled faintly: "It is useless, so it must be discarded."
"What is a useless thing?" Qin Xuan asked again.
"Things that are not beneficial to themselves are useless." Ji Lantian replied with a smile: "Isn't that true?"
Qin Xuan's expression couldn't help but freeze there, and he was speechless for a moment.
It is indeed useless if it does not benefit oneself.
However, such an idea is too utilitarian. There are many things in the world that are not beneficial to them. Are they all useless and should they be discarded?
Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully, as if he could see what Qin Xuan was thinking, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are a compassionate person."
"I dare not take it seriously." Qin Xuan waved his hand. His hands were stained with the blood of many people, and he was not a compassionate person.
Ji Lantian looked towards the lake in front of him and said calmly: "You must think that my idea is very utilitarian."
Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't expect Ji Lantian to say it directly. Then Qin Xuan nodded: "Not bad."
Ji Lantian smiled and said: "In my opinion, this world itself is utilitarian. The strong are powerful and respected by thousands of people, while the weak are groveling and have no dignity at all. The so-called goodwill and kindness are just
The result of weighing the pros and cons never really exists."
After hearing Ji Lantian's words, Qin Xuan's heart trembled slightly. Is this the world in his eyes?
Qin Xuan originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was difficult to find a suitable reason to refute, as if Ji Lantian's words were not wrong.
Goodwill and kindness seem to be the result of weighing the pros and cons.
Fen Lao, Chi Lao, Wutian Tianzun, Tianmeng Tianzun and others paved the way for him and showed him great kindness because he was the successor chosen by the God King and would protect the people of the Jiuxuan Star Territory in the future. If he did not have this level
identity, will they still treat him like this?
Obviously impossible.
So what’s wrong with the utilitarian approach that Ji Lantian believes in?
