Liu Qingrui naturally knew that the place where a sect's headquarters was located was naturally a forbidden area. If a sect's headquarters could let people in and out at will, then the sect would be finished. The Cultivation World was never a paradise. If someone found an opportunity, they would definitely be destroyed.
The shop assistant glanced at Liu Qingrui and found that Liu Qingrui didn't look surprised at all. He knew that Liu Qingrui was a genius. If you didn't give him useful information, then he might turn around and destroy you in the future.
The shop assistant thought that Liu Qingrui was a rogue cultivator. In the spiritual world, there were also rogue cultivators. In fact, the identity of these rogue cultivators was very easy to understand. For example, this shop assistant was from the Elegant Wood Pavilion. However, because he didn't have much talent in cultivation, he was sent to such a place and became a shop assistant and shopkeeper of a pharmacy. If he didn't want to live such a life, he could directly leave the sect and become a free cultivator. He could form his own family and establish his own clan. Of course, he could also become a rogue cultivator and pursue his own immortality.
If he formed his own family, then he would have a chance in the future to recommend his child to the sect and let his child become a cultivator of the sect. Of course, his child would have to pass the sect's test. If his child wasn't accepted by the sect, then his child could only become a rogue cultivator in the future. Therefore, there were a lot of rogue cultivators in the spiritual world.
Of course, some people who ascended from the lower realm could also become rogue cultivators. The various sects in the spiritual world couldn't be like the Scouring the Sea Sect. Everyone who ascended from the lower realm would automatically become a disciple of the Scouring the Sea Sect. The people in the spiritual world wouldn't be polite to those disciples at all. Therefore, those who ascended could only become rogue cultivators.
Sometimes, rogue cultivators might obtain some other inheritance outside, which would make their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds and become a powerful cultivator. Moreover, these rogue cultivators were generally lawless. This shop assistant was just a marginal person in the sect. If he really offended a powerful rogue cultivator and was killed by that rogue cultivator, the Elegant Wood Sect wouldn't spend so much effort to hunt down that rogue cultivator. His death would be in vain. Therefore, this shop assistant didn't dare to offend Liu Qingrui.
Of course, this shop assistant was also a rogue cultivator. Among the rogue cultivators, there were also some hotheads who didn't know anything. As he said, the sect was a forbidden area. If he met a hothead, he might ask why. However, Liu Qingrui didn't ask and just nodded gently. This showed that he was an experienced person who knew very well that he couldn't go to the sect.
The shop assistant then pointed to several cities and said, "These six cities are under the control of the Elegant Wood Sect. They are six important cities. Each of them has a population of more than ten million. There are many rogue cultivators in them. The Elegant Wood Sect has also set up branches there."
Liu Qingrui glanced at those cities. They were far away from each other in a semicircle, surrounding the Elegant Wood Sect in the middle. The six cities were named Mugen City, Muzhi City, Muye City, Mugan City, Muhua City, and Mushi City.
Liu Qingrui memorized the locations of these cities. The nearest big city to Songshan County was Muhua City. Muhua City was about 2,000 miles away from Songshan County, which was not very far.
The shop assistant continued, "In the area under the control of the Elegant Wood Sect, there are two mountains. One is Qingsong Mountain, which is also the mountain range where the headquarters of the Elegant Wood Sect is located. This mountain range is more than 15,000 miles long. The mountain range is undulating. With one mountain range as the center, there are many small mountains outside. It is the largest mountain in the Elegant Wood Sect's area."
As he spoke, the shop assistant pointed to a mountain range on the map and said to Liu Qingrui, then he pointed to another smaller mountain range and said in a low voice, "The other mountain range is called Hidden Dragon Mountain. This mountain range is smaller, and Evil Beasts run rampant in it. It is the trial ground for the disciples of the Elegant Wood Sect and some Individual Cultivators. Although it is also under the control of the Elegant Wood Sect, we have a rule that it is open to Individual Cultivators. Any Individual Cultivator can go there and take risks, and we will not charge any fees."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued, "After that, there is a big river called the Peach Blossom River. It is famous for the peach trees on both sides of the river. The river is rich in a kind of fish called the Peach Blossom Fish. It is said that it tastes very good. But because our Elegant Wood Pavilion is located in the northwest, there are not many rogue cultivators here, and their strength is not very strong. Outside cultivators seldom come here, so many outsiders don't know much about this place."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "Although it is in the northwest, the environment here is really good. This map is very useful. Can you give it to me?"
The shop assistant hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you are too polite. A map is nothing. Just take it."
Liu Qingrui nodded and then said, "Now I am out there. Although I have crystal stones, sometimes I need some gold and silver. Can you give me some gold and silver?"
The waiter quickly replied, "Of course, of course, there's absolutely no problem. I'll go get it for Sir. If Sir wants to stay in the county, then I can find a good hotel for Sir. What do you think?"
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "That's for the best."
The shop assistant immediately went behind the counter and took out two large bags of gold and silver. Then he placed the bags on the table and said, "In the entire county, only Pinewood Abode is considered good. I'll go with Sir and greet them. Sir's food and lodging will be covered by my store."
Liu Qingrui looked at the shop assistant and smiled, "You are very good. I am very satisfied. By the way, how do you exchange crystal stones for gold and silver? Is it the same as other places?"
"It's the same, it's all the same. You can even exchange more than other places. A crystal stone can be exchanged for at least 1200 gold taels. In other places, you can only exchange for 1000 gold taels at most. Because our place is small and we don't have many crystal stones, we can exchange for more things."
Liu Qingrui nodded, then he stood up and said, "Alright, then lead me to the Pinewood House."
The shop assistant nodded, then he quickly led Liu Qingrui and the others outside. Before long, they arrived in front of a small shop that looked very elegant. The shop's decoration was different from other shops. The shop's front was made of wood, it looked very artistic.
Liu Qingrui looked at the shop, then he smiled faintly and said, "Not bad, it's really a good place."
When the shop assistant heard Liu Qingrui, he quickly said, "Sir, please come inside." Liu Qingrui nodded, then he followed the shop assistant inside.
When the three entered the shop, a waiter immediately came to greet them. When the waiter saw the shop assistant, he immediately said, "Immortal Chen, how come you have time to come here today? Please come in."
At this time, the shopkeeper also heard the commotion and walked out. When he saw the waiter, he quickly walked over with a smile and said, "Immortal Chen, how come you have time to come to my store today? Do you have any orders for me?"
The shop assistant nodded to the shopkeeper and said, "Today, there are two Immortals who want to rest here. Prepare your best room and be careful. Their expenses will be on my tab."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was stunned at first. Then, he looked at Liu Qingrui and smiled. "It's our honor to have immortals stay in our shop. Please come in, please come in. Sanzi, please come in. Sanzi, please take the two immortals to the A-room upstairs to rest." Then he turned to the shop assistant and said, "Immortal Chen, the A room is the best room in our shop."
The shop assistant nodded, then he turned to Liu Qingrui and said, "Sir, your room has been prepared. Do you want to rest or eat? If you want to eat, then I'll have them prepare it right away. "
Liu Qingrui waved his hand and said, "There's no need. If you're busy, then you can go back. I'm very happy today, so I'll give you this bottle of pills. Your cultivation is good, maybe this bottle of pills can help you take a step forward." Then Liu Qingrui threw a bottle of pills to the shop assistant. This bottle of pills was really good stuff. It was a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills. This kind of pill was very popular among low level cultivators. Even Qi Refinement Realm disciples would use this kind of pill.
The shop assistant received the pills and didn't even look at them before he bowed to Liu Qingrui and said, "Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Sir."
Liu Qingrui nodded and said, "You can go back. We'll only be here for a day or two, then we'll leave. Unless there's something important, don't disturb us." The shop assistant nodded and then turned to leave.
As for the shopkeeper and waiter of Pine Forest Restaurant, they were dumbfounded when they saw Liu Qingrui's behavior. Immortal Chen was already considered one of the top figures in Songshan County. Who would have thought that he would be so courteous to these two immortals? This meant that these two immortals were of even higher status. This scared the shopkeeper and waiter to death. The two of them stood there, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Liu Qingrui didn't make things difficult for them. Instead, he said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, lead us to our room to rest."
The shopkeeper responded and led Liu Qingrui upstairs while trembling with fear. Soon after, he led the two to a room on the top floor. He opened the door and said to the two, "Immortals, please come in."
Liu Qingrui nodded and entered the room. He said in a low voice, "If there's nothing important, don't disturb us. If you need a meeting, I'll let you know. You can go now." The shopkeeper nodded and then quickly left.
Liu Qingrui then led Liu Qingsong into the room. The room was very big. There was a large living room, a bathroom, a washroom, a pantry, and three bedrooms. It was very clean and tidy. There were even some decorations inside. It looked very good.
Liu Qingrui sat down in the living room. He turned to Liu Qingsong and smiled, "Little Song, how do you feel?"
