Early the next morning, the three of them arrived at Marquis County.
Marquis County was an insignificant small county in the Great Ming Country's Eastern Prefecture, but it had a population of more than ten thousand people. Moreover, a long time ago, Marquis County was the battlefield where the Wanxian League fought against the wild beasts. Because of this, the surrounding spiritual energy became turbid and chaotic. In such a place, trying to find Wei Wenqing's contact person was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. Wang Lu soon found the way.
"Do you know where the Seven Stars Sect's Immortal Teacher is?"
On the commercial street of Marquis County, Wang Lu stopped a local vagrant, gave him a few silver coins, and got a satisfactory answer.
"The Seven Stars Sect's Immortal Teacher is in the County Master's house. He's the County Master's VIP."
Just like that, the answer was revealed. It was far smoother than expected.
After sending the vagrant away, Wang Lu nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, it seems like the people of Marquis County do have some knowledge."
The Lady Boss asked, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you notice? He's also a Four Stars Emissary. In the Wang Family Village, he's called a Daoist Immortal, but here, he's just an Immortal Teacher. Moreover, he's only the County Master's VIP. Obviously, cultivators are not rare here. At least, people have this knowledge. "
The Lady Boss nodded. "This place used to be an ancient battlefield, so there should be a lot of cultivator legends passed down. Therefore, the local people are not unfamiliar with the Immortal Cultivation World … So, what are you going to do next? Do you want to directly go to his door and interrogate him? "
Wang Lu was surprised. "How could you have such a stupid idea? Right now, you don't even know his name, and whether he has other companions or not. You only know that he's a Four Stars Emissary. If you just rush forward like this, you'll be wiped out! You're simply a man of courage but no strategy. "
"... I really don't want to be judged as a man of courage but no strategy by a fool like you."
Although she said that, the Lady Boss respected Wang Lu's opinion.
Because the current Wang Lu was obviously a professional adventurer. His eyes were clear, and his mind was calm. After leaving the Wang Family Village, his mood gradually eased, and his way of thinking also returned to his usual rhythm in Spirit Sword Mountain. This kind of Wang Lu was trustworthy.
"In other words, we have to test the waters first?"
"That's right. It's rare that the enemy is out in the open while we're in the dark. It would be a waste if we don't take this opportunity to probe them … Wen Bao, we need you to make an appearance now."
Wen Bao, who had just bought two steamed pancakes from a roadside vendor, was stunned. "Me?"
"That's right. Go to him directly and say that you're a wandering cultivator who is passing by this place and intends to stay for a period of time. Greet the local master and then take the opportunity to investigate him."
Wen Bao only felt that the flatbread in his mouth was a little hard and astringent, and it was difficult for him to swallow. "Senior Martial Brother, isn't this mission a little too difficult?"
"F * ck, you're an inner disciple of one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League. What's so difficult about dealing with a few lowly people? Now that my identity has been exposed, I can't casually show myself. Sister Ling has no cultivation, so she can't pretend to be a cultivator. Who else can do this besides you? "
Wen Bao was still hesitating when Wang Lu took out his trump card.
"Junior Sister Yue, she …"
"Okay, Senior Martial Brother, I got it. I'll go now!"
He swallowed the two steamed pancakes in one gulp. With the spirit of facing death calmly, the fatty raised his sword and rushed to the county magistrate's yard.
— —
"Stop, who are you? How dare you …"
Before the two burly men guarding the courtyard could finish their reprimanding words, they had no choice but to swallow the rest of their words.
The fat man in front of them was not tall but had a very large body. There was a wisp of flame burning on his fingertip. The color changed from red to green, and then from green to white … Although it was just an acrobatic skill, it fully showed his identity.
An immortal cultivator.
Marquis County was not like the Wang Family Village, a remote village that had never seen the world. Hundreds of years ago, this place was one of the battlefields where the Wanxian League fought against the tide of wild beasts. Immortal cultivators were not too rare, and occasionally, there would even be Perfected Cultivators passing by. But … cultivators were cultivators after all. They were not people these two lackeys could offend.
"Excuse me, why are you looking for my family's master?"
The fatty put away the magical ability on his fingertip. Inwardly, he couldn't help but feel proud. Even though for a Spirit Sword Sect's cultivator, this little trick was simply insignificant, and even for him, who specialized in one sword to break ten thousand methods and walked the path of a sword cultivator, his other spells were a complete mess. However, in the mortal world, this trick could still be used to bluff people.
More importantly, he knew that Senior Martial Brother Wang Lu would never be able to use this trick, because Wang Lu was even more extreme than him. Wang Lu had already reached the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage, but he didn't even know a single immortal spell...
"I'm not looking for your family's master. I'm looking for the Seven Stars Sect's Immortal Cultivator."
The fatty tried to make his voice as deep and powerful as possible, in order to play the demeanor of an expert. According to his Senior Brother, the Seven Stars Sect's cultivators here were at most high-level Qi Cultivating Stage. Even though they were much higher than him, if they were to fight in close combat, his Black Iron Heavy Sword would be able to split them into two halves.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
The two guarding martial artists looked at each other, and then the one on the right nodded. "Please come with me."
Right now, there was only one Seven Stars Sect's cultivator living in the County Magistrate's courtyard, as well as a number of handymen and servants. That martial artist carefully led Wen Bao all the way to the main room. However, before they reached the door, they heard a voice coming from inside.
"Yuan San, didn't I tell you not to bother me if there's nothing important?"
That martial artist named Yuan San immediately broke into a cold sweat and knelt down. "Reporting, reporting to Immortal Master, there's an Immortal Master passing by here. He said he's looking for you, so …"
"Oh? Immortal Master passing by? Bring him in. "
Yuan San quickly stood up. He didn't dare to look at Wen Bao, who was behind him, as he tremblingly walked forward. When he reached the door, he lowered his head and didn't dare to move.
Wen Bao's face sank, and his heart was slightly uneasy. Just now, that person's voice seemed to have a special power that could shake people's mind … This was strange. How could a low-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator have this kind of ability?
However, he had already walked to the door, but the opposite party still couldn't clearly see his existence. It seemed like the opposite party didn't have a profound cultivation.
With a trace of nervousness, Wen Bao entered the room.
Then, he was blinded.
Inside the room, there was indeed that Seven Stars Sect's cultivator. His hair and beard were grizzled, and he looked a bit older than expected. However, there were also three to five young women, dressed in simple clothes, and some of them were even naked. They clustered around that cultivator's side. They were panting, and their eyes were watery. That cultivator's pair of palms continued to wander around that warm jade soft body, setting off pieces of spring scenery. What was even more surprising was that there was an enchanting and charming woman who was sitting on that cultivator's body. Their lower body was tightly joined together, and when they moved, they made a sound that could make people blush … Unexpectedly, they didn't even try to avoid other people!
This pink scene immediately made the fatty's face flushed, and the little bit of momentum that he managed to muster up with great difficulty disappeared like running water.
He believed that even if Senior Brother Wang Lu was here, he would also be blinded by this scene! What the hell was this Seven Stars Sect's cultivator doing? What the hell was he doing in broad daylight!
"Oh, sorry for making a fool of myself."
That cultivator chuckled, pushed away the woman who was entangled with him, and then waved his hand to signal them to leave. Then, he slowly put on his clothes and asked with interest, "Fellow Daoist, why are you looking for me?"
Wen Bao sorted out his thoughts, cleared his throat, and was about to open his mouth when he was suddenly stunned. Because he clearly saw that on that Seven Stars Sect's robe, there were six neatly embroidered stars!
… Six Stars Elder? Where's the promised four stars emissary!? Where's the promise that I can split a mere high-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator in half with my sword!?
Isn't a six stars emissary an expert in the Foundation Establishment Stage? Moreover, it's very likely that he's a middle-level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. Not to mention me, even if it's Senior Brother Wang Lu, I'm afraid you don't have a hundred percent chance of winning, right? W-What the hell is this!?
Cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead. However, Wen Bao, after all, had received more than two years of formal education in the Spirit Sword Mountain. Suppressing his throbbing heart, he earnestly saluted that person. "I'm Wen Bao, a loose cultivator who just passed by this place. Because of my cultivation needs, I plan to stay here for a while. I heard that the Seven Stars Sect's Immortal Teacher lives here, so I came to pay a visit to avoid any misunderstanding."
"Oh …"
That Seven Stars Sect's Elder lazily responded with a sound, and then sized up the fatty in front of him. Before long, he waved his hand. "I understand, you're called Wen Bao, right? At such a young age, it's not easy for you to reach the low-level Qi Cultivating Stage, so you shouldn't be an ordinary loose cultivator. But, it doesn't matter, our Seven Stars Sect has a wide range of friends. As long as you don't stir up trouble, you can stay here as long as you want … Of course, there are some rules that must be obeyed. I hope we can get along well. "
With that, he moved his hand. Wen Bao felt his vision blurred, and then a piece of yellow paper appeared in his hand. On it, there were some simple rules that he was not unfamiliar with.
First of all, it was an overview of the principles. For example, the host and the guest must respect each other. When encountering a dispute, they should mainly mediate and avoid fighting as much as possible.
Then, it was a general convention to deal with some difficult miscellaneous diseases. For example, if a treasure was found in the local area, the guest must not hide it without authorization, and must inform the host. At the same time, the host has the priority to purchase the treasure. If the guest has a special demand for the treasure, the guest must pay a certain price and compete with the host for the treasure...
These were the rules that were established after the establishment of the Wanxian League to mediate the disputes between the sects. Now, after a long period of development, it has been further refined and perfected into a very complex knowledge. However, in practice, it was often defeated by the rule that the fist is the truth. He didn't know where this Seven Stars Sect copied this set of rules, but it was actually quite decent.
Wen Bao roughly skimmed through it, and after promising to seriously abide by it, he observed the other party's reaction. That cultivator seemed to be impatient and didn't doubt his identity … It seemed like he was being overly suspicious. A cultivator from a mere ninth rate sect couldn't possibly have such a high level of cultivation that could see through his background. If it was a Foundation Establishment Disciple from Shengjing Sect, perhaps with a glance, they would be able to tell that he was a Spirit Sword Sect disciple.
Realizing that he had passed this hurdle, Wen Bao breathed a sigh of relief and then cautiously retreated. Before he left, that Seven Stars Sect Elder impatiently called back the girls with a lascivious smile.
—
Before long, the fatty trotted all the way back to the previously agreed place.
Then, in a few words, Wang Lu and Little Ling 'Er, who had been waiting for him for a long time, were shocked.
"Senior Brother, you're wrong. In this county, there's more than one Seven Stars Cultivator. Moreover, it's not a Four Stars Emissary, but a Six Stars Elder!"
"What the hell! What kind of god is this!?"
After drinking cold water and eating cooked meat, the fatty finally calmed down and began to talk about his experience in detail. As a result, Wang Lu and Little Ling 'Er looked at each other in dismay; they both felt that this matter was really f * cked up.
"From Four Stars to Six Stars, is there a need to be so exaggerated?"
For a time, even the Lady Boss, the nemesis of cultivators, felt that this matter was tricky. Because once a cultivator entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, their magical power would circulate inside and outside of their body. Their physical strength would be greatly improved, and their ability to survive would skyrocket. Relying solely on the mortal world's martial artists was somewhat insufficient … Even if they could protect themselves, it would be extremely difficult for them to win.
Wang Lu also clicked his tongue. "It's only been a few days, but his star rank has already skyrocketed … Could it be that this guy is also a rebel?"
"What?"
"Nothing … In short, this is important information. Fortunately, I have the foresight to let Wen Bao explore the actual situation. Otherwise, if I rashly rushed over, the consequences would be hard to predict."
The Lady Boss helplessly sighed. "Even at this time, you still can't forget your narcissism?"
"Wen Bao, tell me in detail what happened just now. Don't miss any detail."
Wang Lu, of course, has the capital to be narcissistic. Because his eyes have already lit up, he excitedly activated his professional adventurer mode.
Seeing this, the Lady Boss didn't want to disturb him, so she quietly waited on the side.
Wen Bao's emotions calmed down. The second time he narrated, it was a lot more organized. He even described in detail the scenery he saw along the way from the courtyard door to the main room.
Although Fatty's aptitude was slow, after two years of cultivation, his body had been cleansed by spiritual energy, and he had just started to cultivate his mind. Although his IQ might not have improved much, his mind was clear, and his hearing and eyes were much sharper.
Realizing the importance of this matter, Wen Bao didn't dare to conceal anything. He even described the scene of the Cultivator Elder's lewd behavior during the day, causing the Lady Boss to retreat a few steps without batting an eyelid.
The narration took a little longer, and Wang Lu didn't interrupt the whole time. Only when Wen Bao finished did he softly say, "Tell me in detail what happened just now."
Wen Bao was dumbfounded. The Lady Boss couldn't help but scold, "Are you in heat!? Do you want to hear that kind of disgusting thing again!? "
Wang Lu frowned. "Your thoughts are really dirty. No wonder you're a thirty-year-old virgin …"
Before he could finish, he was sent flying by a friendly face-breaking punch.
