Half a day later, Wang Lu came to Shengjing Sect.
This was not his first visit to Shengjing Sect. Previously, as a member of the Plentiful City Committee and the Group of Immortal Tombs Management Committee, he was often invited to Shengjing Sect to participate in important meetings and enjoyed the treatment of many Yuanying Stage and even Deity Stage Elders.
However, at this time, when he visited Shengjing Sect again, Wang Lu could not help but sigh with emotion at the magnificent scene of the number one sect in Nine Regions.
Generally, immortal cultivation sects often liked to stay high in the clouds, isolating themselves from the secular world and showing their transcendental status. Even the Lingjian School was no exception. They only set up the Spirit Creek Town at the foot of the mountain to contact the mortal world. As for Kunlun Sect, it was even more extreme, they directly used clouds to hide their mountain gate.
However, Shengjing Sect chose a completely different path. With their mountain gate as the center, they built an astonishing scale city, which encompassed hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles of land. Moreover, this city was three-dimensional. In addition to the important place above the clouds, from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and even below the Immortal Mountain, there were tens of thousands of people.
In the beginning, it was not the intention of Shengjing Sect. After the end of the second great war of immortal and demon, Shengjing Sect's leadership position was basically consolidated, and many people came. However, it was impossible for Shengjing Sect to accept all of them, so they could only reluctantly decline most of them.
Some of those hopeless people left in disappointment, but some chose to persist. They settled down on the mountainside to cultivate. Most of these people had amazing skills, but unfortunately, they could not reach the recruitment threshold of Shengjing Sect. They could only hope that one day, this notoriously eclectic sect could recruit them and fulfill their long-cherished wish.
Shengjing Sect did not prevent these people from settling down, even though the mountainside was also the territory of Shengjing Sect. However, for a sect that could invent artificial spirit root, the so-called immortal cultivation rules were worthless.
Because of Shengjing Sect's indulgence, more and more people gathered on the mountainside, and they even gradually formed their own forces. Over the past hundreds of years, these people have successfully achieved a tacit understanding with Shengjing Sect in many aspects. Their influence began to radiate downward, all the way to the foot of the mountain, forming many towns similar to the Spirit Creek Town. The people in the towns were between immortal and mortal. Many of them were just mortals, but they all had inextricable ties with immortal cultivators. Their greatest hope was to get in touch with the cultivators who lived on the mountainside. Although the Shengjing Sect looked down on the people on the mountainside, to the mortal world, they were still immortal-level characters...
After hundreds of thousands of years of development, this clearly stratified and clearly structured city was fully formed. According to the census conducted by Shengjing Sect five years ago, the population gathered around Shengjing Sect had exceeded one hundred million. These people enjoyed the protection of Shengjing Sect, and at the same time, like hard-working worker ants, they transported mortal world resources to Shengjing Sect. This model was called the Shengjing Model, which had long been the focus and research of the entire Immortal Cultivation World of Nine Regions.
Even though he had this and that grudge with the Shengjing Sect, Wang Lu still had to admit that this was a great sect, and they had created a great model. When it came to the combination of Immortal and Mortal, Wang Lu's development of the Wisdom Sect was based on the Shengjing Sect model. Now, he had long left the sect, and only occasionally pointed out the general direction of the sect. At present, the effect was good. The development of the Wisdom Sect was still crazily snowballing. In addition to the foundation that Wang Lu had laid earlier, in recent years, with the change of the situation, the timely reference of the Shengjing Sect model was also an important reason...
Walking in the town at the foot of Shengjing Sect, facing the endless stream of traffic, Wang Lu gradually fell into contemplation.
He was now a Daoist Master of the King Pill, but when he walked in the mortal world, his magical power and charm were restrained, unexpectedly no different from an ordinary youth. Although there were many people in the town, no one recognized this well-known lead disciple of the Five Uniques in the Nine Regions.
However, Wang Lu's peace didn't last long. Before long, Wang Lu suddenly saw the crowd around him parted. The pedestrians on both sides of the street were surprised and slightly frightened, and their eyes were focused on one place.
At the end of the street, a pure white girl slowly descended from the sky. The girl's footsteps were swaying, and a faint fluctuation of magical power spread out, showing her identity as a cultivator.
Of course, at the foot of Shengjing Sect, there were tens of thousands of cultivators, so it was not unusual to see a cultivator coming down the mountain. In fact, among the people on both sides of the street, there were several Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The reason why there was such a sensational effect was because the belt of this pure white girl was embroidered with the logo of the Shengjing Sect. This was a cultivator from the Immortal Sect!
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang Lu." The girl came for Wang Lu. She gently walked to the front of Wang Lu, respectfully bowed, and then said with a sweet voice, "I'm Yu Mengjun from Shengjing Sect. Senior Sister Qiong Hua sent me to pick you up the mountain."
Wang Lu was surprised. "Qiong Hua sent you to pick me up?"
The girl smiled and explained, "Senior Sister said that this gathering of the lead disciples was invited and hosted by her, so it should be Shengjing Sect that comes forward to entertain you. Right now, a banquet has been prepared on the mountain, waiting for you to come up the mountain to welcome you. "
"It's right for Shengjing Sect to entertain me, but I'm curious, you, the grand Daoist Master of the King Pill, was actually sent by Qiong Hua to entertain me? Is this to show off that Shengjing Sect is full of talented people and endless extravagance? "
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengjun gawked for a moment, and then her sweet smile rose again. "Because you're the lead disciple of one of the Five Uniques."
"So … even the ancient strange beast Dream Tapir was used to entertain you?"
"Ah!" Yu Mengjun was really surprised. "You, you can see it?"
Wang Lu chuckled but didn't explain anything. He had Bai Shixuan, an immortal beast that could transform into human form, so he was very sensitive to the aura of the same kind of human form cultivator. Although the rank of the Dream Tapir was high, if it wasn't deliberately hidden, Wang Lu could see it at a glance.
After her identity was called out, Yu Mengjun hesitated for a moment, as if she had something to say, but there were some concerns.
Wang Lu shook his head. "Okay, lead the way. Do you want to continue to be surrounded by people here? "
Yu Mengjun suddenly nodded. "Oh, I'll take you up the mountain!"
Then, a rainbow bloomed from the girl's palm, and the other end went straight to the Immortal Sect. This was the etiquette used by Shengjing Sect to entertain distinguished guests. Wang Lu followed the pure white girl to walk on the rainbow. In one step, they crossed the mountain gate and came to a quiet and elegant bamboo room.
At the same time, Zhou Mumu's vigorous voice came from the bamboo room. "Finally, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
In the bamboo room, Qiong Hua, Xiang Liang, and Zhou Mumu were already there, sitting around a round table. On the table, there were all kinds of high-grade tea and snacks lingering in the air. And behind each of these three people, there was a girl in white quietly serving them. Any one of them was a Daoist Master of the King Pill.
Wang Lu was shocked. "Qiong Hua, even if you want to pretend, you should know when to stop. Finding four Daoist Masters of the King Pill to be your maids? Showing off how many people there are in Shengjing Sect? Next time, I'll find a Supreme level powerhouse to be your chef, are you afraid? "
Qiong Hua said, "According to the rules of our sect, the formal meeting of the lead disciples of the Five Uniques should be treated like this. I'm surprised, Daoist Master Wang Lu, don't you realize that you represent one of the five super sects of the Wanxian League, so the standard of treatment doesn't depend on your cultivation base? "
Wang Lu gave a tit for tat. "What a joke, is the standard of treatment determined by the level of the waiter? How could a King Pill level waiter be better than a Foundation Establishment Stage waiter? How could they know how to serve tea and observe the situation? That's pure vanity! "
Qiong Hua did not show weakness. "That's right, but this is the prevailing rule of the Wanxian League."
Wang Lu said, "It's clearly a prevailing bad habit! Doesn't your Shengjing Sect claim to be the leader of the Wanxian League? Then hurry up and come up with an eight-point rule or something to get rid of this evil trend! Today, when I was taking a walk down the mountain, a Daoist Master King Pill, an ancient beast in human form, suddenly came over and said that she wants to be my maid. Do you know what I felt at that time? It's like meeting a girl who has lost her footing! How could a beautiful girl lose her footing! "
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengjun was greatly frightened. "I, did I lose my footing? I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please forgive me! "
"…"
Wang Lu shook his head. "Alas, most of the transformed demon beasts don't understand the ways of the world, and only act with a pure and innocent heart. Some are evil by nature, while some are pure and untainted. Senior Sister Qiong Hua, Mengjun clearly hasn't transformed for a long time, she's as innocent as a child, yet you have the nerve to bully her and make her a maid? "
Qiong Hua didn't speak, but her eyes lightly swept over Yu Mengjun, which made the girl's whole body quiver.
"Tsk, a dignified lead disciple bullying a child, do you have the nerve?" Wang Lu took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Mengjun, completely isolating her from the powerful pressure coming from Qiong Hua. "This child is pleasing to the eye, she reminds me of a junior sister from the same sect who also has a poor IQ. Anyway, she's just a maid in your Shengjing, why not sell her to me, the fated person, cheaply. "
"Daoist Wang Lu, your joke isn't funny."
"Oh? Then you can think of a way to get eczema or something like that, itching to the point that you laugh! "
After not seeing each other for a few months, the relationship between Wang Lu and Qiong Hua was getting worse, especially Wang Lu. The more he looked at Qiong Hua, the more he disliked her, and he couldn't wait to change her appearance on the spot.
However, before a bigger conflict broke out, Zhou Mumu was already very unhappy and slapped the table. "Are you two done? Did you call us here just to watch you fight? Isn't it time to get down to business? "
Qiong Hua smiled and restrained her aura. "You're right, but … let's wait for Daoist Ziye to arrive, then we can get down to business."
Wang Lu reached out his hand to touch Yu Mengjun's head to appease the frightened dream tapir, and then he sat opposite to Qiong Hua. While looking straight at the other party, he reached out his hand to eat the snacks on the table.
"Hey, since you emphasize the standard treatment, then as the dignified lead disciple of Spirit Sword Sect, I should have enough food, right?"
Qiong Hua snorted and ignored him.
In any case, when Zhan Ziye arrived, they could get down to business and no longer need to care about this person.
Then she patiently waited for Zhan Ziye.
This wait lasted for a day and a night.
