In the Northern Region of the Divine Land, to the north of Ye Province, about ten thousand miles away from the Worship Zen Mountain, there was a Jade Mirror Lake. The orthodoxy of Tianyi Palace, one of the twelve palaces of the Divine Land, was located there. Tianyi Palace was the neighbor of the Northern Three Paths of the Divine Land. It was a famous immortal force. It was said that the orthodoxy of Tianyi Palace came from the four seas. The Tao Ancestor of Tianyi Palace once asked the Dragon King of the Sea to become an immortal. After he succeeded, he established his own orthodoxy at the Jade Mirror Lake.
Immortals liked peace and quiet. Even if they had citizens, they would often build their cities thousands of miles away to avoid disturbing their peaceful cultivation.
But now, the big city of Ye Province under the rule of Tianyi Palace was full of people. Immortal disciples came to the city day and night on their swords and stayed overnight. For the ordinary people living in Ye Province, the number of immortal disciples they saw this year was really more than what they saw in their whole life. And all this was because of a Dharma decree issued by Tianyi Palace a year ago.
The eldest princess of the Dragon Palace of the Sea was looking for a husband!
A year ago, as the Dharma decree of Tianyi Palace was brought to all corners of the world by messengers, it immediately caused a stir in the four provinces.
It was a well-known fact in the cultivation circle that princesses of the Dragon Palace were not allowed to marry outsiders, let alone the eldest princess, Ao Zhen.
Even in the Divine Land, this eldest princess had a good reputation. It was said that because of the fight for the throne of the Dragon Palace, she had endured humiliation and lived in seclusion in the Thousand Flowing Sea. She did not hesitate to sully her own reputation, just to preserve the lineage of the Dragon Palace. It was only because of a coincidence that a vision was projected in the void that her reputation of chastity spread throughout the four provinces. When this woman was mentioned, many virtuous old Zhenren nodded and praised her.
As for the fight for the throne of the Dragon Palace, these old Zhenren would not talk about it. But it did not prevent them from saying "strange" to this woman who cared about the Dragon Palace. It was even said that an Ancestor of an ancient family once sighed at a Taoism discussion, "With such a daughter-in-law, why worry about the family's prosperity?" It was said that if it were not for the inconvenience of his identity, this Ancestor would have personally proposed for his great-grandson.
Of course, reputation was one thing. The other was that marrying a woman from the Dragon Palace had its own wonderful benefits.
Status, reputation, and the fact that the Eldest Princess of the Dragon Palace was a world-famous beauty. Therefore, when the decree was issued, the entire Tianyi Divine Water Temple became lively. The Temple Master of the Tianyi Divine Water Temple had recognized the Dragon Lady as his adopted daughter. He had considered everything for her. The decree was issued a year ago, and it took a whole year of preparation and selection just to find a good son-in-law.
Nowadays, it was hard to count the number of young cultivators who came from all over the world. Those with high status had already moved into the Tianyi Holy Water Palace. However, even though the Tianyi Holy Water Palace had countless buildings and a vast area, it could not accommodate so many talents and their servants and mounts. As a result, those with low status could only live in the mortal cities thousands of miles away.
If worse came to worst, they could sleep in the wild, and no one would care about them, but it would make them lose face.
It was precisely because of this reason that there was a saying in the surrounding cities, "Tens of millions of Immortals entered the city and exchanged their spirit stones for copper coins." There were simply too many people coming. Even the city where ordinary people lived was overcrowded. Those who came late couldn't even find an ordinary inn even if they wanted to. Moreover, ordinary people didn't recognize spirit stones. They only recognized copper coins. If you gave them a bright red stone, they wouldn't want it.
Through this, the status of the disciples of the Immortals could be distinguished.
Those with the highest status were directly invited into the Tianyi Palace to rest. Those with lower status could also use the Divine Skills to build pavilions in the open space around the Holy Water Palace as a temporary resting place. Those with lower status could only stay in the cities of mortals. But this was only for those who came early. For those who came late, even the inns and houses of mortals were full. It was difficult for them to find a place even if they had the money.
At this time, outside the city of Yezhou, there was a young man with a dirty face and a fat golden crow walking into the city gate. The mortal general who guarded the city had trained his eyes in the past year. At first glance, he found that the young man's clothes were messy but not dirty. Obviously, they were the Daoist clothes that the disciples of the Immortals liked to wear. They could avoid dust. The style of the Daoist clothes was rough and the patterns were not particular. It was not a product of the Daoist clothes pavilions in the Divine Land. Therefore, he determined that the young man came from a remote area.
Behind him was a fat crow, which meant that he still needed a mount. It was obvious that his cultivation was not very high. Besides, he had no other ornaments except for a small white bone tower hanging around his waist. Therefore, it could be inferred that he did not have much money on him.
Of course, the disciples of the Immortals were the disciples of the Immortals. No matter how weak they were, they were not people that the mortal general could afford to offend. Therefore, the general who guarded the gate politely allowed the young man to enter the city and then handed him a scroll. The young man opened the scroll and glanced at it. It was a decree issued by the Tianyi Holy Water Palace, which forbade the disciples of the Immortals from fighting and making trouble in the city.
More people meant more trouble. In the mortal cities, it was extremely easy for the disciples of the Immortals to take someone's life and make the city collapse. However, the Tianyi Holy Water Palace also issued a strict order. Anyone who used magic in the city would be severely warned and expelled from the city, not to mention making trouble. If any trouble was caused because of magic, the disciples in charge of the Tianyi Holy Water Palace would take action and kill them on the spot.
The order was very strict. These disciples of the Immortals, who were not even qualified to enter the periphery of the Tianyi Holy Water Palace and could only live in the pond, could not do anything about it.
"I've been on the road for three months. I'm really tired … Let's find a place to stay first!"
After entering the city, the Great Golden Crow sent a voice transmission to the young man lazily.
These two guys were, of course, Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow, who had come from the Northern Demon Land.
At that time, Fang Xing could not stay calm because of Crown Prince Liu Li's words. The reason was that he had heard about the Dragon Lady's son-in-law selection!
"This b * tch, how dare she look for a man behind my back?
How dare she! "
"If I don't go and beat her up, she will go to the roof and tear down the tiles!"
In a rage, Fang Xing immediately rushed to the Divine Land with the Great Golden Crow.
It was not until they left the Demon Court that they realized that they had thought too simply. The Demon Court was separated from the Divine Land by the vast territory of the Demon Land and the boundless Canglan Sea. Even if the Great Golden Crow could control the extreme speed under the Yuanying, it would take years to fly there with its wings. Moreover, this was under the premise that it did not eat, drink, or rest. When he got the news, there were only three months left before the day of the son-in-law selection, which was mentioned by the Tianyi Holy Water Palace. It could be said that he could not make it there even if he worked hard!
In desperation, after a discussion, the two guys ran to the Wing Prefecture, which was under the control of the Demon Driving League. Under the eyes of the public, they fought their way into the city, forcibly snatched the altar, and teleported to the Divine Land. However, because they were not familiar with the altar, the location was a little off, and they ran to the neighboring Meng Prefecture. When they came back to Ye Prefecture, the time was almost up.
"Immortal, please wait a moment …"
Just as he was about to find a place to have a good meal and rest, someone came to greet him from the side of the city gate. It was a chubby little old man with a big belly and a mustache. He wore a long robe with copper coins printed all over it. He looked like an unscrupulous merchant, but he had a kind smile on his face. He cupped his hands in greeting and walked toward Wang Zhong.
"What do you want?"
Fang Xing was also a little tired and asked lazily.
"Hehe, if I guessed correctly, this little immortal is also here for the son-in-law selection of the Dragon Lady, right?"
"None of your business!"
Fang Xing was infuriated when he heard this.
However, what made him curious was that this old man was only a Spirit Formation Realm cultivator, which could be said to be no different from an ordinary person. However, in front of him and the Great Golden Crow, there was not a trace of fear on his face. He smiled naturally and said, "Immortal, don't worry, I was once a disciple of Tianyi Palace. Later on, I had no hope of cultivating, so I gave up my immortal status and came to Ye Prefecture to do a small business to make a living. This time, I'm here to help immortal. This little immortal is new here, so you probably don't know that Ye Prefecture is already overcrowded with people. Moreover, there is a rule that only spirit stones are recognized, only copper coins are recognized. Little immortal, if you want to find a place to live or prepare for your daily expenses, you can't use Immortal Essence in Ye Prefecture. You have to exchange it for gold, silver, and copper coins that are recognized by the secular world. This little old man is here to provide convenience for little immortals who have come from afar …"
"Exchange it for gold, silver, and copper coins?"
Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow looked at each other and felt a little strange.
In Nan Zhan, it had always been gold, silver, and copper coins that could be exchanged for spirit stones and spirit essences. Why was it the other way around in the Divine Land?
"How do you exchange it?"
The fat old man smiled and said, "It's easy. Nowadays, there are too many immortals coming from all directions in Ye Prefecture. There are also many spirit stones and spirit essences that need to be exchanged. It has already become a market. I see that little immortal looks familiar, so I'll give you a discount. One spirit stone can be exchanged for one tael of silver, which is equivalent to a hundred copper coins. If you want to find the cheapest place to stay in Ye Prefecture, I'm afraid it will cost at least a hundred silver coins … So, little immortal, you have to exchange at least a few thousand silver coins from me … Do you have enough spirit stones?"
"One spirit stone for one tael of silver …"
Fang Xing's face turned green. Isn't this too much of a scam?
Logically speaking, he didn't lack money, but he really didn't want to suffer such a loss …
"Hehe, little immortal, if you really don't want to exchange, you can also go to the mountains outside the city and sleep under the cover of heaven and earth. However, now the entire Ye Prefecture is divided according to the status of immortals. If you can't even afford to stay in an inn in Ye Prefecture, I'm afraid you don't even have the qualification to visit Tianyi Palace. So, listen to me, at least take out some spirit stones to save face …"
The old man seemed to be familiar with this business. As soon as he saw Fang Xing's expression, he followed up, making it hard for Fang Xing to refuse.
"Oh … You're right. I'm in a hurry and need to buy some clothes. I need money …"
Fang Xing remained calm and collected, muttering like a country bumpkin who had just seen the world for the first time.
The fat old man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, this is not the time to save money!"
Fang Xing seemed to have made up his mind. He stamped his feet, looked around, and said, "Don't show your wealth. Find a secluded place to exchange!"
The fat old man immediately smiled, but in his heart, he despised him. He thought, "Don't pretend to be an expert when you've just entered Jianghu. Don't show your wealth." The immortals of Tianyi Palace had made a lot of money by exchanging copper coins. There were people keeping an eye on the order of the city, so no one dared to make trouble. As long as you obediently took out the spirit stones, you would be safe and sound …
Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud. He followed Fang Xing into a small alley very cooperatively …
"Give me all the silver and copper coins you have …"
A flying sword suddenly pressed against his neck, which made the excited fat old man's smiling face freeze.
"Little … little immortal, what … what do you mean by this?"
Fang Xing pressed the flying sword a little tighter and said in a low voice, "This is a robbery. Can't you see it?"
