Take your childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality

After five days of riding in a carriage, Liu Wenwen and the other two finally arrived at the gate of Fengqing City. Big cities are indeed different. Fengqing City is built on a high mountain, and there is a high mountain on each side. There are stone bridges connecting to the main city. The ground under the stone bridge is about ten thousand feet deep and you can't see the bottom. The sky is full of clouds and mist, which is very magnificent. In the clouds, you can see someone flying up and down, which is very amazing.

Liu Wenwen and the other two were on one of the four high mountains. The top of the mountain was as flat as if it had been cut with a sword. Although it was on the top of the mountain, the area was not small. The entrance to the stone bridge was located in the east of the mountain top. Above the entrance, there was a building similar to a memorial archway. In the middle of the mountain were written the characters "Fengqing City", and below that, the character "West" was vaguely written. It must be the West Gate.

The stone bridge is several meters wide and can accommodate several carriages at the same time. It is very spacious.

I saw a monk in green clothes sitting under the stone tablet, sitting cross-legged and meditating with his eyes closed. Next to him was a sign that read "Five spirit stones are required to enter the city."

Although the price is high, there are quite a lot of people coming into the city, and they all line up quietly.

The three of them didn't rush in, so they drove the carriage to the side and parked it under a tree. Yan Qibei knocked on the partition door where Lu Cheng lived, got off the carriage without saying a word, and the three of them waited outside the carriage.

Liu Wenwen couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, Fengqing City is so magnificent, so fairy-like, isn't it? I wonder when Uncle Lu will come out and whether Madam Lu is feeling better." Her voice was a little low.

Shen Runze: "It should be soon. Madam Lu is a cultivator, so nothing should happen." He touched Liu Wenwen's head and said.

Liu Wenwen turned around and smiled at Shen Runze, nodded, and then looked at Yan Qibei who was sitting on the shaft of the cart.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lu Cheng said as he got out of the car, but he did not see Madam Lu.

"My wife is still not feeling well, so she'll just rest in the car and pay the entrance fee later," Lu Cheng explained.

Liu Wenwen: "Uncle Lu, look, there is only a small gatehouse as the main gate, and the entrance fee is so high. Won't someone sneak in from other places? After all, there are a lot of loopholes here." She whispered to Uncle Lu secretly.

"Hahaha, that's impossible. Wenwen, Fengqing City is a big city, a town. The bigger the sect, the stronger its city defense formation will be. If you dare to sneak in from other places, be careful to be killed by the city defense formation," said Lu Cheng, stroking his beard with a laugh.

"Ah? Will it be struck by lightning again? Why?" Liu Wenwen looked at Lu Cheng curiously.

"I heard that the Fengqing City's defensive formation was arranged by a powerful person, called... the Four... Oh, it's called the Four Symbols Constellations Formation. I heard that this formation was arranged according to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, with the help of their spiritual characteristics. It can mobilize the power of the stars and has different effects in different positions. It has multiple uses such as attack and defense. What's more, it doesn't use ordinary spiritual power, but the power of the stars. The power of the stars is endless. Therefore, it is almost impossible to sneak in." Lu Cheng said slowly.

Liu Wenwen: “So amazing.”

"It's urgent. Let's go and talk while we walk."

After Liu Wenwen and a few others paid the entrance fee, they walked slowly forward. They felt that the road was very long, as if it had no end. They thought the wind would be very strong on the bridge, but unexpectedly, the wind was very light and the breeze was gentle when they stood on the bridge. No wonder it was called Fengqing City.

Yan Qibei: "Uncle Lu, shall we go directly to the Tianyan Sect's base?"

"Yes, I heard that the cost of inns in Fengqing City is very high. Since you are the prospective disciples of Tianyan Sect, I have to take advantage of you. It is also a good opportunity to fulfill my promise and send you to Tianyan Sect." Lu Cheng smiled.

"Okay," Liu Wenwen smiled happily.

As soon as the group entered the city, several young boys who looked about twelve or thirteen years old surrounded them.

"Immortal, you just arrived in Fengqing City. How about I be your guide? It only costs two spirit stones a day." A slightly older boy with delicate features, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, said in a crisp voice.

"Okay, you take us to the Tianyan Sect's headquarters." Lu Cheng nodded and continued walking forward.

Liu Wenwen looked back and saw that the other people who were not selected had dispersed and continued to look for the new cultivators who had entered the city.

Liu Wenwen: "What's your name? Big brother?" She looked at the boy in front of her curiously.

Song Mu: "My last name is Song and my given name is Mu. I grew up in Fengqing City, so I can be considered a native of Fengqing City."

"Are you also a cultivator?" Liu Wenwen asked curiously as she looked at Song Mu in front of her.

"I guess so, but my aptitude is not good and no sect is willing to accept me, so I bought a book of exercises in the market and practiced it myself. Until now, I haven't even started to learn Qi Refining," Song Mu sighed.

Liu Wenwen: "Then why do you want to be a guide into the city?" Shen Runze and Yan Qibei also looked over.

Song Mu: "I haven't started practicing Qi yet, so I can't use magic. There are many dangers outside the city, and the shops don't accept mortals. Therefore, I work as a city guide to earn some money. Will you stay in Fengqing City for a few more days? If you need a guide, please ask me. I'm not expensive, only two pieces of spiritual energy." He smiled and looked at the few people.

Liu Wenwen nodded and said okay.

The group walked and looked around. Fengqing City's business was much more prosperous than Yunshen City. There were shops, pubs, and teahouses on both sides of the street. Most of the pedestrians were cultivators, who looked like they were not easy to mess with.

There were even one or two people wearing black robes and holding banners in their hands, looking very strange, or women dressed very seductively and wearing very revealing clothes. The nearby merchants did not seem shocked.

Liu Wenwen grabbed the hem of Uncle Lu's clothes and was about to ask something, but Uncle Lu grabbed her hand and pulled her away. She didn't even get the words out of her mouth until they were far away.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, if you see the person wearing black clothes and holding a banner, don't talk to him or go away. As for the female cultivators wearing revealing clothes, don't ask, don't say, and don't discuss. The cultivators have sharp ears and eyes. Once they hear you discussing them, at the very least, one of their hands will be crippled, and at the worst, they will be killed." Lu Cheng said while making a gesture of wiping his neck.

Liu Wenwen was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly and asked, "Is there no one taking care of them?"

Lu Cheng: "To the east of the Shiwan Mountains, it's commonly known as the Central Plains. The demons wouldn't dare to kill innocent people in the Central Plains, but they do hold grudges. Once you're targeted, they'll pursue you until you're dead. So, it's best not to provoke them."

"Fengqing City is a large city in the west of the Central Plains, so there are many demon cultivators from the wilderness. But as long as they don't do evil in the city, the City Lord's Mansion will not care about them."

Liu Wenwen and the other two nodded quickly to show that they understood.

Along the way, Song Mu introduced to them where the purchase price of medicinal herbs was high and where the talismans were sold at a low price. He introduced them one by one, and Liu Wenwen and his group also had a general understanding of Fengqing City.

In the center of Fengqing City stood a towering, steep, black tower. Surrounding it stood a cluster of tall, circular buildings. Song Mu had said that this was the City Lord's Mansion, while the tower itself served as a training tower. For a fee of 100,000 spirit stones, one could advance to the first three levels and undergo a three-month trial. The entire city's buildings, scattered around the City Lord's Mansion, stretched outwards, all the way to the entrance of the stone bridge.

Tianyan Sect was near the City Lord's Mansion, so they had to go around the various markets to reach it. Flying was prohibited in Fengqing City, so the group could only slowly walk inwards.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, we finally arrived at the Tianyan Sect’s headquarters. It had double doors with carved beams and painted rafters above it, and three large characters “Tianyan Sect” were written vertically in the middle.
