For the rest of the time, Ba Shi treated Siyu as a deity every day and served him with plenty of food and fish every day. Siyu was also happy to have Ba Shi as his cheerful friend, and the two of them had a feeling of being late for each other... It was worth it.
One thing to mention is that in these few days, Siyu learned to drink, and his drinking capacity is not weak at all.
…
Looking at the five mountains in the countryside of Tongzhou, there is no such leisurely atmosphere.
The Ximen family in Wushan has been very busy recently. The "Ascension Conference" has come, and everyone in the Ximen family is extremely busy inside and outside. One by one, Ximen's disciples wearing green gowns are running in and out, all kinds of things.
hurry.
At this moment, the territory of Wushan has changed greatly. Within Wushan Xuanjie, many new buildings have been built among the buildings, pavilions and terraces. The style of the new buildings is very simple, but they reveal worldly magnificence, which makes people salivate just by looking at it.
If you look carefully, you will find that the buildings in Xuanjie are divided into ten areas by streams, rockeries and green belts with blooming flowers. The ten areas are full of houses, just like ten building groups...
Obviously, these ten building complexes were the residences of the four races and six factions during the conference.
Fortunately, the Ximen family occupies the natural barrier of Wushan, and with the help of the huge open space in the valley, it is possible to complete this huge project. However, it is difficult to complete the renovation and new construction of the entire Wushan Xuanjie in such a short period of time.
The manpower and material resources spent are huge, and only an ancient family like the Ximen family has the ability to hold the "Ascension Conference".
Now, all the children of the Ximen family have moved to a building complex in the southern corner of Xuanjie. It is the place with the most beautiful environment and is naturally the residence of the host.
Although the conference will officially start in half a month, some small details of life still need to be completed as soon as possible, such as purchasing daily utensils for tens of millions of rooms, building a new canteen, etc. There are many other issues like this.
Young, the Ximen family will have to worry about it slowly.
There is also a row of courtyards built outside the Mysterious World of Five Mountains. These buildings are not as gorgeous as the ones inside, but they are far more beautiful than the ordinary courtyards in the mortal world. These courtyards are closely linked to each other, forming a magnificent landscape that surrounds the entire Five Mountains area.
for a week.
These courtyards are all in the form of a common quadrangle. Each quadrangle is a unit. From a distance, this row of courtyards has thousands of units. It is hard to imagine that it is not spectacular.
These courtyards are naturally prepared for other small sects and ascetics. They do not have strong strength and have no power behind them. They are just ordinary people in the world of cultivation. Naturally, they can only live in such houses. However,
In order to reflect the enthusiasm of the host and the concept of treating guests equally, the Ximen family's configurations in these courtyards are all based on the buildings in Xuanjie. It can be said that they are standardized to the extreme. This expense alone consumes the Ximen family's endless money.
Little savings. However, the Ximen family doesn't care about this little money. You must know that the swords and elixirs produced by the Ximen family are world-famous in the world of cultivation. It is more than enough to exchange for a small amount of money.
Of course, in addition to arranging the guest's residence, the Ximen family still has many things to do. The first is the venue for the "Ascension Conference".
Generally speaking, the "Ascension Conference" is divided into two major procedures: the first is the sect competition. It is a mutual competition among all the sects and ascetics participating in the conference. The competition is divided into preliminary, semi-finals, and finals. The entire competition
It will last for three months until the three most powerful people are competed.
The top three will be able to win generous prizes, but most importantly, they will be able to get guidance from senior masters who are about to undergo the tribulation. For those cultivators who are obsessed with the way of heaven, getting guidance from masters is a precious opportunity, not to mention
Is that master still an expert who is about to pass the tribulation?!
However, the "Ascension Conference" has developed to this day and has become a competition between sects. The cultivators who win the top three will certainly receive supreme honors. The sects where these three people belong can also receive
Equal honors, and the unspoken rules in the world of cultivation stipulate that the sects belonging to the top three will lead the entire world of cultivation when the next "Ascension Conference" comes.
It can be seen from this that the first major program of this conference is so crucial. Compared with the sect competition, the second major program seems a little more disappointing. In fact, this second major program is the main purpose of the "Ascension Conference"-overcoming the tribulation.
Ascend to heaven!
The second major procedure will be made public to the world... The cultivators who have transcended tribulations and ascended to heaven will board the "Flying Platform" under the gaze of thousands of people to meet the challenge of heaven. Whether it is life or death, flying or destruction, boarding the
At the moment of "Feitiantai", this tribulation-rider has become a hero in the hearts of the world. At the same time, his name will be recorded in the annals of history and will be remembered by future generations.
As the host of this conference, the Ximen family naturally has to put a lot of effort into the construction of the competition venue. Fortunately, the Ximen family built alongside the mountains, and the five tall peaks can be fully utilized. These days, the mountains are full of
Some training grounds have been renovated and turned into brand-new competition venues. At the same time, there are rows of spectator seats next to each competition venue for non-participants to enjoy the competition.
In addition to the training ground on the mountain, the Ximen family also specially opened up a new venue on the Five Mountains... No way, this time because three tribulation transcenders faced the tribulation at the same time, the cultivation sects and ascetics who came to sign up
So many times that in order for the game to proceed normally, the Ximen family had to open a new competition venue.
Of course, due to the increase in competition venues, the corresponding medical system and venue maintenance system must be implemented at the same time. Counting on fingers, the Ximen family is really busy this time.
…
Halfway up the Jian Mountain, the resplendent Wanjiange Pavilion has become the central hall for the preliminary work of this conference. All plans and orders are transmitted from here. At this moment, in Wanjiange Pavilion, five obviously thin elders are leading the group of elders under them.
They were discussing some unresolved matters. The Wanjian Pavilion was crowded with people, and disciples were constantly walking around. Each of them had a piece of jade in their hands, which was exactly the same as the memory crystal given to Siyu by Taoist Priest Four Demons.
The world of cultivation is not used to using paper. Information is transmitted using memory crystals made of jade, which are easy to read. Although all construction plans, personnel transfers, material procurement, schedules, etc. are transmitted from Wanjiang Pavilion
, when the order is passed to the implementer, there will always be many temporary problems. And the elders cannot act as the foreman to supervise the implementer's every move at all times, so when the implementer encounters problems when implementing the plan
All questions will be recorded in the memory crystal, and then someone will be sent to Wanjiang Pavilion for the elders to review. After the elders discuss the results, they will be burned into the memory crystal, and someone will be sent back to the practitioner. In this way
Make all the plans.
Although the process is a bit cumbersome, with the foot power of cultivators, it is still much more convenient than civilians using flying pigeons to pass messages.
Months of continuous mental work have made the five great elders even more aged. It was rare for them to have free time at this moment, and all five of them were lying on their chairs, rubbing their foreheads in pain.
"Report to the Great Elder that all the residences outside Wushan are occupied, and the newly arrived sects have not yet found a place to stay!"
"Report to the Great Elder that a new construction team has arrived. This is the last construction team within a radius of 500 miles. But based on the current construction speed, we simply don't have time to build that many houses."
The two Ximen disciples rushed to the five great elders to report. Ximen Liu, the leader of the five great elders, sighed and reluctantly opened his eyes. Although his face was tired, his voice was still full of unquestionable majesty.
: "Send the order and ask the construction team to start work as soon as possible. At the same time, ten more construction teams will be mobilized to assist them. The task of the remaining 500 courtyards must be completed within ten days. At the same time, those newly arrived sects will be temporarily arranged to be in Tongzhou City.
When checking into an inn, remember to communicate well with others, never have any quarrels with them, and let Ximen Piaofeng entertain you well."
"Yes!" The two Ximen disciples took the order and retreated.
"Brother, there are more and more sects coming now, and our Wushan Mountains are almost unable to bear the burden!"
"Hey, our Ximen family should be the host this time, but the situation this time is too special. Three cultivators are going through the tribulation together. No wonder it caused such a big sensation. It would be great if Chen'er was here!"
Ximen Liu's words made the four people around him sigh secretly. At this moment, among the group of elders who were having a heated discussion, a less qualified elder with a bearded face walked out and asked the five great elders for instructions: "Great elders, our family
There is not much money left in the bank, and there are still several large expenditures that we cannot afford. The result of the elders' group discussion is to sell some treasure-level swords, but if we want to raise funds in a short time, I am afraid that the swords will not be able to afford them.
The selling price will be greatly reduced.”
Ximen Liu waved his hands feebly and said irritably: "You guys have to figure it out. We must ensure the flow of funds no matter what. There can't be any mistakes in this conference. If it doesn't work, go to the treasure room to get a few pieces of better quality.
Weapons can be sold cheaply, there will always be people who will spend money to buy these things."
Although Ximen Liu's decision was a bit hard to accept, the current situation was very tense and they could only do this. The elder bowed to the five elders, returned to the round table at the bottom, and rejoined the discussion of the elder group.
Time passed by, and half a day passed by in a hurry. The five great elders sitting here looked better, and the traces of time were more clearly engraved on their faces. There was more and more turbidity in their eyes, and the look of exhaustion lingered.
Just when the five of them wanted to stand up and stretch their bodies, a disciple of Ximen walked in outside the door.
Ximen Liu looked at him with some displeasure. These people were running around every day, almost blowing up his head. However, this Ximen disciple did not come to the elders, but walked directly in front of Ximen Liu.
, said loudly: "Report, report back to the great elder. The Gongsun family of Frost City has arrived in Wushan, and is now at the entrance of Xuanjie, waiting for our report."
After hearing the disciple's report, Ximen Liu suddenly stood up, pointed at the disciple's nose and yelled: "You bastards, how can you let them wait outside? How many people are here? Come and welcome me in."
"Wait..." Before the disciple could exit, he was stopped by Ximen Liu again, "Wait a minute, we will go with you, and the five of us brothers will go to greet them together. It has been more than a hundred years, but
I wonder if those old guys are still there!"
Ximen Liu seemed a little excited, and the tiredness in his eyes faded a lot at this moment, as did several other elders.
"Hey, I didn't expect that the Gongsun family was the farthest from us, but they were the first to arrive! Hurry, let's go and greet them!" Ximen Liu, who couldn't wait, almost picked up the disciple's collar and dragged him out of the city.
In Jiange Pavilion, the other four great elders followed closely with joyful faces, and a series of anxious footsteps sounded in Wanjiange Pavilion...
