Bitter Wine Burns The Throat, Aches The Heart; Sleepless Nights Without You In My Dreams
“Everflow Sword Sect?”
Wan Batian frowned slightly and fell into contemplation.
A trace of confusion was revealed in his gaze.
“Which Sect is this? Why have I never heard of it?”
His voice carried a hint of doubt, as if he had never heard this name before.
“Among the Sects in the entire Southern Border, there are no less than nine hundred if not a thousand.
“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of such a third-rate Sect.”
Wan Daqian looked at his son and slowly explained.
Wan Daqian continued, “The Everflow Sword Sect is one of the three hundred and seventy-six third-rate Sects in the Southern Border.
“In terms of Sword Cultivator inheritance, the Everflow Sword Sect can be called a leader, and only the Everflow Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivator inheritance is the most complete.
“Because of this, in the Sword Dao, they are a unique existence in the Southern Border.
“Back then, the Everflow Sword Sect was also a famous Great Power, and the Sword Cultivators were all highly skilled, awe-inspiring, and made other Sects dare not underestimate them.
“It’s just that in recent years, I don’t know why they have gradually declined.”
Wan Daqian paused slightly, then continued, “According to the information we have collected, the current Sect Master of their Sect is in the Golden Core Realm.
“According to my speculation, there should also be several Nascent Soul Grand Elders.
“Although they no longer have the glory of the past, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Sect still has some Foundation.”
Upon hearing that it was a third-rate Sect, Wan Batian suddenly understood.
He scratched his head, a trace of embarrassment on his face. No wonder he hadn’t heard of it.
Usually, the occasions he attends and the people he comes into contact with are from the Imperial Family, first-rate Great Sects, and even Holy Land individuals.
Naturally, a third-rate Sect like the Everflow Sword Sect would not catch his eye.
“However…”
“Brother Xie Fei, how could he be an Elder of a mere third-rate small Sect?”
Wan Batian came back to his senses and asked with a surprised expression.
His gaze was full of incomprehension.
“This is a bit of a waste of talent.
“Brother Xie Fei is so powerful, how could he be content to live in such a third-rate Sect?”
Wan Batian’s gaze was firm, and he said without hesitation, “Father, such a third-rate Sect is really not worthy of my Brother Xie Fei.
“Why don’t we buy the Everflow Sword Sect and give it to Brother Xie Fei?
“With my support, plus the Everflow Sword Sect in Brother Xie Fei’s hands.
“It will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of the past!”
Wan Batian’s expression did not look like he was joking at all, and his gaze revealed a trace of seriousness.
Very obviously.
With the Strength of Wan Trading Company, buying a third-rate Sect is not a problem at all.
In his opinion, this is a small repayment to Xie Fei, and also an affirmation of Xie Fei’s talent.
“That’s not very realistic.”
Wan Daqian shook his head, his words seemed to be guiding his son.
“The Everflow Sword Sect still has some Foundation.
“There are many forces that have good relations with it.
“Among them, there are many second-rate Sects such as the Dragon-Tiger Heaven Sect, and even Great Powers from overseas such as the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains.
“If we buy it properly, they won’t agree.
“If we use other means, we will inevitably be besieged by these forces.
“For our Trading Company, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages…”
Wan Batian always felt sleepy when he heard these words.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes wandered.
“Forget it, forget it. Since you say it’s not good to buy, Father, then we won’t buy it.
“Brother Xie Fei looks like the kind of person who doesn’t want to Managing things and is afraid of trouble.
“But no matter what.
“Father! We have to thank him!”
Wan Batian’s tone was very firm.
Wan Daqian nodded, “Father knows.
“If it weren’t for him, your life would be gone.”
Saying that, he turned to leave.
“Alright.
“Batian, you should rest well first.
“Father still has some things to do.”
……
Jinling City.
Full name “Cloud Citadel Jinling City”.
Being able to have this name naturally means that this city is a little different.
The entire city is built on a huge and exaggerated floating Meteorite!
Looking from afar.
The entire city seems to be between the clouds, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Hence the name “Cloud Citadel”.
Moreover, once night falls.
Because of the special Magic Array arranged in the city, you will see many eaves inlaid with “Starfire Jade” refracting the illusion of the Milky Way.
Every “Starfire Jade” emits a soft light, echoing the Milky Way in the sky.
At a glance, it is beautiful and magnificent, as if you are in the vast starry sky.
Xie Fei and Liu Ying arrived at night.
They were immediately shocked by such a wonderful spectacle.
Liu Ying’s clear pupils reflected the starry sky.
“So beautiful…”
She opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of amazement.
And Xie Fei said in surprise, “Such a big Meteorite?”
His eyes widened slightly.
This Meteorite, carrying a large city, looks like a small star at first glance, exuding a mysterious and steady Aura in the vast night sky.
The layman sees the excitement, the expert sees the trick.
Xie Fei has The Dao of Formations.
This Meteorite itself is extraordinary in his eyes.
Its huge volume contains immeasurable Power.
Moreover, for such a huge Meteorite, how much Power would it take to use a Formation to make it float?
Xie Fei thought to himself.
This is definitely not something that ordinary formations can do.
He immediately turned his gaze to those Starfire Jade, a trace of curiosity and exploration flashing in his eyes.
“The Qiankun Eight Trigrams formed by these Starfire Jade can protect the city, monitor, and provide lighting, among other functions.
“But this is just the superficial Formation, where is the Core Magic Array?”
Xie Fei thought inwardly.
His gaze carefully swept over the Starfire Jade, and finally he couldn’t help but look towards the Imperial Palace location.
Jinling City is the capital of the Great Yong Dynasty.
The Great Yong Imperial Palace is located here.
Xie Fei stood in mid-air, and from inside the Imperial Palace, he could sense strands of terrifying Formation Power.
These forces, like surging tides, continuously emanate outwards.
It is the key to supporting the entire Jinling City!
It’s a pity that Spiritual Sense Perception is shielded, so it’s impossible to explore quietly.
The two stopped to watch for a while.
Then, they landed at the city gate below.
Because the entire Jinling City is a floating city, there is a gate-like portal on the ground.
This city gate is actually just a decoration, essentially a type of Teleportation Formation.
Ordinary people can be teleported to Jinling City in the sky through inspection.
At the city gate.
Two rows of Armored Soldier stood upright.
After a slight Perception, Xie Fei was a little surprised.
These soldiers are all Mortal Body Level Seven!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Mortal Body Level Seven is already an extremely powerful existence.
On the battlefield, they are definitely capable of fighting a hundred enemies.
Unexpectedly, here, they are just a small soldier guarding the city gate.
When the two queued up and approached.
A soldier covered in armor, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes, blocked them.
His voice was low and stern, “What are your names?
“Do you have a Great Yong Identity Roster?
“If not, please tell us your identities and state the purpose of entering the city.”
At this moment, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and explanations, Xie Fei revealed his Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivation.
And Liu Ying did not hide it, the Aura of the Golden Core Realm came over them.
But even when facing a Golden Core Expert, this soldier still had a stern tone and was not afraid or timid at all.
From this, it can be seen that the Strength of the Great Yong Dynasty seems to be not bad?
Liu Ying walked in front, she did not respond to these, but took out an Invitation with Starfire Jade.
The material of this Invitation is extremely special.
The Starfire Jade above it shimmered with a soft light, as if it contained a trace of Mysterious nature that could not be faked.
Seeing this thing.
The inquiring soldier’s Gaze suddenly changed.
A Captain who should be nearby saw this and immediately walked up.
His gaze carried a trace of apology, and he cupped his fist in a polite manner, “My subordinate was just being rude, please forgive us.
“I will personally send the two of you up.”
Thus.
Xie Fei and Liu Ying were taken into the Teleportation Formation by the city gate Captain.
With a flash of light, their figures disappeared at the city gate.
Seeing them leave.
A group of soldiers exclaimed and started to communicate.
“Did you guys see just now? That Woman is so young, but she is already a Golden Core Expert!”
“Did you notice that Man? He is also Qi Refining Level Nine!”
“Shh! Keep quiet! Didn’t you see that Invitation?”
“Brother, what is that Invitation? I just arrived, the Captain has never had such a good look on his face before.”
“The Starfire Jade is arranged in the Wan Trading Company logo! All the Starfire Jade in Jinling City comes from Wan Trading Company!”
“Hiss! Wan Family’s guests?!”
“That’s right! Can those who can deal with the Wan Family be simple?”
……
After arriving in Jinling City.
What was presented in front of them was a prosperous and dreamlike scene.
On the flower-filled Street, people came and went, and it was very lively.
Everyone was dressed in brocade clothes and jade ornaments, extremely gorgeous.
It seems difficult to see the poor or ordinary people here.
Moreover, it is very likely that if you throw a brick down, you will hit a Young Master or Young Lady from a Noble Family, or a high-ranking official.
Xie Fei was in the midst of this prosperity, occasionally opening his Fate Golden Eyes.
Under the insight of these Fate Golden Eyes, he immediately discovered that there were several existences that could be targets for Investment.
Among them, there were quite a few people with White and Green Fate.
There were even one or two Blue ones!
However, since the Captain was next to him, Xie Fei couldn’t turn around to make an Investment.
He could only follow the Captain silently towards the Wan Trading Company with Liu Ying for the time being.
After a while.
The three of them walked to the southeast Area of Jinling City.
This is where the headquarters of Wan Trading Company is located.
The entire Trading Company covers an area of more than a hundred acres and is of a grand scale.
A pair of huge Dragon sculptures are placed outside the gate.
The sculptures are lifelike and majestic. Just standing there gives people a strong sense of Oppression.
What’s even more amazing is that the material of these sculptures is actually two large pieces of Starfire Jade carved by nature!
The vermilion gate was wide open, as if warmly welcoming guests from all directions.
And on both sides of the gate stood Guardians with extraordinary Imposing Manner and extremely sharp Gaze.
These Guardians were dressed in black, close-fitting attire, holding Long Swords, standing upright, like statues of guardian gods…
This series of performances proves the Strength of Wan Trading Company.
You must know.
This is under the Emperor’s feet.
Under such circumstances, being able to do this with the Identity of a merchant has already explained a lot of problems.
What is commendable is.
Because of the concubine-taking matter, the entire Wan Trading Company was hung with festive red lanterns.
Everywhere was red and prosperous, a scene of joy, and everyone greeted them with smiles.
People who don’t know would think this is a wedding, not taking a concubine!
Which family would hold a banquet for taking a concubine?
Only Wan Trading Company would.
In Jinling City.
Even the families of some ministers cannot achieve such luxury for their weddings.
“This is Wan Trading Company.”
The Captain said with a Smile, his face full of smiles.
“Without special permission, I cannot enter this place.
“Therefore, I can only send the two of you here.”
Liu Ying nodded slightly and said softly, “Thank you!”
After saying that.
She took out a small bag of Spirit Stone from the Storage Ring and handed it to the Captain.
The Captain weighed it in his hand, and there were at least twenty of them inside.
His eyes lit up immediately.
This is a fortune!
“If you have any needs, you can come to the city gate to find me, goodbye…”
The Captain cupped his fist, his face full of gratitude, and then happily left this place.
At this time.
Liu Ying walked towards the gate of Wan Trading Company.
As soon as they saw her Invitation, a group of Guardians immediately respectfully invited them in.
Once inside.
Good Heavens!
It was so full of distinguished guests, a Sea of People.
In the vast courtyard.
The guests talked and laughed, and the Atmosphere was warm.
“You go eat something and wait for me for a while, I still have my mother’s letter on me, I have to give it to the Wan Family.”
Liu Ying turned her head and said, then turned and left.
At this moment.
Although the formal banquet has not yet begun.
All kinds of pre-dinner Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine have already been placed on the table.
These Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine emit an alluring fragrance.
For Cultivators, especially those in the Mortal Body and Qi Refining Realm, they have great benefits.
They can promote Cultivation and increase Spiritual Power.
Therefore, it can be seen that many people have begun to eat and drink, enjoying the delicacies and Fine Wine.
These Spirit Fruit are naturally not of much use to Xie Fei.
After all, his Strength far exceeds the help that these Spirit Fruit can provide.
Therefore.
He was a little bored and wandered around by himself.
But as he walked.
Xie Fei suddenly saw an unexpected person
–Jin Jian!
It was that guy who had been following Liu Ying for a month!
“Didn’t you say you wanted to focus on Cultivation?
“Why did you run here?”
Xie Fei asked in surprise, striding over.
Seeing that it was him.
Jin Jian immediately had a bitter look on his face: “Sigh…”
He sighed a long breath.
As if endless sorrow was contained in this sigh.
“After going back, I thought about it.
“I’m still a little unwilling…”
Jin Jian said quietly, drinking the wine cup after cup.
Truly, bitter wine burns the throat and pains the heart, in dreams without her, the night is endless.
But Xie Fei really couldn’t understand.
But at this moment.
Jin Jian seemed to have come back to his senses, stopped drinking, and asked in surprise: “You…
“Why are you here too?”
Xie Fei spread his hands: “I was dragged here.”
Jin Jian paused slightly.
Then it turned into a wry Smile: “Then I’m afraid you’ll see me embarrass myself later.”
Jin Jian poured himself a cup of wine and continued: “That is the person I love the most.
“Even though I know that my Identity is not suitable for him, his family will never agree.
“But I still can’t forget him.
“Whenever the night is quiet, his face will always appear in my mind.
“I am so deeply in love with him…”
Xie Fei nodded.
Although he didn’t understand, he was considered a qualified listener.
