Looking around, the Changfeng Association's headquarters was quite majestic. The main building was made of huge bluestones of several ten meters high. It was hundreds of meters high.
There were also many other low-rise buildings around. People were coming and going, which was quite lively. It seemed to vaguely form a small town on the periphery.
Outside the headquarters, there was a circle of walls made of black boulders, and there were two guards in green suits standing at the entrance.
Under the leadership of Wei Yun, Liu Ming entered the city gate without any obstruction. After a few turns, they came to an elegant courtyard next to the headquarters.
In front of the courtyard stood a green boulder with the words "Changfeng Elegant Garden" written in gold.
"This is where we receive our esteemed guests. Fellow Daoists, please take a short rest and have a taste of our spirit tea."
After Wei Yun brought the two to an elegantly decorated stone pavilion, he clapped his hands.
After a while, a beautiful maid served a pot of fragrant tea, then she summoned a young man who looked like a servant. She whispered a few words and let the young man leave first.
Liu Ming and Wei Yun were drinking tea in the pavilion while chatting with Wei Yun about some special customs on Qingyu Island for a while.
Liu Ming listened to Wei Yun's eloquent narration of some of the anecdotes of the South Sea Region. He didn't feel bored under his witty words. He was tasting the spiritual tea in the cup.
This spiritual tea called "Black Star" was not only fragrant, but when he opened the lid, he saw that the tea was black all over. The tea leaves were floating in the black tea like stars. It also had a bit of elegance like peeping into the night.
After a few minutes.
"Haha, Mr. Wei, I heard that you invited two friends with extraordinary cultivation today. The president is not on the island, so I have to come and meet them first." A hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard. A yellow figure flashed at the door, and a muscular man had already appeared in front of them.
"Vice President Fan." Wei Yun quickly stood up.
Liu Ming hurriedly looked at the person. He saw that the muscular man was wearing a yellow robe. He was very tall and had a square face. His face looked a few years younger than Wei Yun.
But listening to Wei Yun's address, this person was the vice president of the Changfeng Association, a figure of the Condensation Period later stage.
When the burly man approached the three of them, an aura as heavy as a mountain assaulted them. It was as if the person standing in front of them was not a person, but a towering mountain. With one look, they could tell that he had cultivated some kind of special cultivation technique, which was why he gave off such a peculiar feeling.
"Vice President, these two are Mr. Liu Ming and Mr. Xin Yuan." Wei Yun introduced with a smile.
"Nice to meet you." Liu Ming and Xin Yuan naturally stood up and cupped his fist at the muscular man.
"Haha, you two don't need to be so polite. I'm Fan Zheng, the vice president of the Changfeng Association." The muscular man in yellow robe laughed.
Then the four of them sat down, and someone naturally served tea.
After they greeted each other politely and introduced each other's names, Wei Yun also roughly told the story of meeting Liu Ming and Xin Yuan.
Fan Zheng looked solemn and said, "In this case, it is the first time for the two of you to come to the South Sea Region. In this case, I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Wei should have already mentioned to the two of you that our association is currently seeking talents. Are you interested in joining the Changfeng Association as a guest? "
When Liu Ming heard this, he glanced at Xin Yuan. As he was about to speak, Fan Zheng waved his hand and said,
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Let me say a few more words before making a decision. I only want to emphasize two points. First, our Changfeng Association also has some status among the islands in the South Sea Region. As a guest, not only can you get a spiritual vein cave house belonging to our association as a place to practice, but you can also get a lot of cultivation resources every month. Second, compared with other organizations, our association has very few restrictions on guests who do not hold specific positions. If you are not satisfied, you can even quit at any time. As long as you promise not to join the hostile forces of our association, there will be no future trouble. You two might as well stay in our association for a year and a half. If you are not used to it, you can leave at any time. No one will stop you at all. "
After listening to these words, Xin Yuan couldn't help but look a little moved.
Seeing this, Liu Ming hesitated for a while, then he asked again,
"The conditions offered by your association are indeed generous, but I want to ask, if the Changfeng Association fights with hostile forces, must the guest elder participate in it?"
Fan Zheng was startled when he heard the words, then he said with a smile, "If our association really encounters any trouble and really needs you two to help, you can decide whether to agree or not. Our association will never force you, but if you are willing to help, we will thank you later!"
When Liu Ming heard this, he finally showed a hint of satisfaction. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Xin Yuan, then he nodded and said, "In that case, we can agree to temporarily join your association and become guests."
Fan Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the words.
After all, Wei Yun had already told him that Liu Ming and Xin Yuan were both Condensation Period intermediate stage cultivators. For the Changfeng Association, once two guests with such cultivation level joined, the increase in power would be immediate.
For Liu Ming and Xin Yuan, they just came to this unfamiliar South Sea Region. The most important thing now was to familiarize themselves with the situation here as soon as possible, restore their spiritual power, and make follow-up plans.
As for the so-called top ten Sect in the South Sea Region, it was definitely not easy to enter. For other small and medium-sized Sect, they were not familiar with the place, so they naturally could not be easily restrained by some Sect and be involved in the power struggle.
In the following time, the muscular man in a yellow robe introduced the specific treatment of the guests to the two.
The guests of the Changfeng Association also had high and low levels. The Condensation Period early stage could become an ordinary guest elder. Liu Ming and Xin Yuan were both at the Condensation Period intermediate stage, so they naturally became the senior guest elder without a doubt.
The treatment of the senior guest was quite high. They could receive a basic tribute of more than a hundred spirit stones every month. The spirit stones on Liu Ming and Xin Yuan had been used up in the underground mine and the abyss. Although these spirit stones were not much, it solved some urgent problems for the two now.
In addition, the independent cave houses that the Changfeng Association promised to assign to each guest elder were built on the underground spiritual vein in the east of Qingyu Island, which was carved on some mountain cliffs near the headquarters of the Changfeng Association.
It was said that in addition to a quiet room for cultivation, the cave house was also attached with an acre of medicine field. The closer the cave house was to the center of the spiritual vein, the richer the spirit was. With the identity of Liu Ming and Xin Yuan as the senior guest elder, the cave house should be in a good position.
After the introduction, Fan Zheng asked Wei Yun to take Liu Ming and Xin Yuan to go through the admission procedures and the procedure of choosing a cave house.
Wei Yun readily agreed, then he left the stone pavilion with Liu Ming.
Two hours later, the two of them arrived at a certain hall and picked out their cave abodes.
Because Liu Ming's cultivation technique was relatively special, he chose a cave house with heavy yin qi.
In this regard, the hall master in charge of this matter seemed to have been instructed by Vice President Fan in advance, so he readily agreed.
What made the two slightly surprised was that the Changfeng Association was quite considerate to arrange two young and beautiful maids for them to serve their daily needs.
Of course, these maids were not cultivators; they were just cultivators among mortals.
Seeing this, Xin Yuan immediately chose two of the plump maids with a smile and hugged one in each hand. After bidding farewell to Liu Ming, he went straight to his cave house under the leadership of a Spirit Apostle.
Liu Ming smiled slightly when he saw this, and he also took the other two beautiful maids and flew away from the headquarters under the leadership of another person.
Not long after, Liu Ming landed in front of a cave house on a mountain wall, opened the door with an enchantment token, and walked in directly.
The entire cave house was not small. It was a few acres in size, and it was fully equipped with facilities such as medicine shops and secret rooms. The natural qi and yin qi here were quite thick, which was very suitable for cultivation.
As Liu Ming was satisfied, he immediately dismissed the Spirit Apostle who led the way. After giving a few instructions to the two maids, he directly entered the cultivation secret room and closed the stone door.
This secret room was not big. It was only 80 meters in size, and the furnishings were quite simple. Except for a pale yellow futon and a white wooden bed, there was nothing else.
Liu Ming was also satisfied with all these arrangements. He slightly checked the silver spirit patterns engraved on the surrounding stone walls and the ground. After confirming that it was just some ordinary defensive partition enchantment, he was relieved and sat cross-legged on the futon.
As Liu Ming flicked his sleeves, several formation flags flew out one by one and were neatly inserted on the ground in the surrounding corners. It also formed a pale white light curtain, completely isolating everything in the secret room from the outside world.
Only then did he sit cross-legged with peace of mind. While adjusting his breath, he absorbed the spiritual qi from the outside into his body to restore spiritual power. At the same time, he began to check the situation in his body.
Last time in the mysterious space, Luo Hu once said to him that although the physical body was extremely powerful when demonized, once it returned to normal, it would leave a lot of sequelae on the body.
Along the way, Liu Ming did not have the chance to properly inspect it.
When he scanned the inside of his body with Divine Thought, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
At this moment, the situation in his body was a bit worse than he originally expected. Not only many meridians in his body were damaged and atrophied due to the forceful infusion of unknown energy several times the limit when demonized, but there were also many hidden injuries in his muscles and bones.
Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough now, and his recovery ability was beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, it was not impossible for his physical body to immediately collapse and disintegrate at the moment of demonization.
Liu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It was impossible to fully recover from these various injuries in a short time. He could only nourish his body repeatedly with gentle spiritual power for a long time, and then supplement it with the power of elixir. He couldn't delay it any longer.
Fortunately, he had joined the Changfeng Association. In the current situation, these conditions were easy to meet. Even so, it would probably take two to three months.
