Four hundred thousand miles away from Jia Ning City, there was a huge town called Zuo Qiu City. The biggest family in Zuo Qiu City was the Zuoqiu Family. It could be said that Zuo Qiu City was completely under the control of the Zuoqiu Family.
The Zuoqiu Family was a family with a long history. It was said that it had existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years. It was difficult for the outside world to know the specific age. It was only known that some new second-class Sects were not as old as the Zuoqiu Family.
For example, the Piller Sect was a new second-class Sect. It had only existed for about three hundred thousand years since it was founded. The fact that it could stand out and become a second-class Sect was enough to show its uniqueness.
Even so, the Piller Sect did not know the history of the Zuoqiu Family. When the Piller Sect was founded, the Zuoqiu Family had already existed. However, the Zuoqiu Family was basically not involved in the disputes between the sects. Therefore, the sects knew little about it. Even now, the Zuoqiu Family was not controlled by the Piller Sect.
After several days of flying, Luo Ping and his group had arrived at the Zuo Qiu City. They could see a huge city wall from afar. From the size and momentum of the city wall, it was enough to see that the power of Zuo Qiu City was not something that Jia Ning City could compare with.
"I didn't expect the Zuo Qiu Family to be so powerful that they could control a town. Looking at the size of this town, it should be bigger than some third-class Sects."
Looking at the city wall in front of him, Luo Ping said with a smile. During the flight, Wen Liangzhou had told Luo Ping everything he knew about the Zuoqiu family, which surprised Luo Ping.
Who would have thought that the influence of a single family could be comparable to that of a third-class sect, or even greater? The Kongming Sect's area of jurisdiction was only around ten thousand li, which was about the same as the Zuoqiu family.
"What's so special about a third-class sect? Even the Piller sect has to be courteous to the Zuoqiu family. They even have to rely on the Zuoqiu family when it comes to refining weapons."
Before Zuo Qiuyi could answer, Xia Youhan, who had been quiet all this time, spoke first. Although he was not a member of the Zuoqiu family, he had been adopted by the head of the Zuoqiu family since he was a child. Now he was a guest elder of the Zuoqiu family, so he had deep feelings for the Zuoqiu family.
When Luo Ping heard Zuoqiu Clan's words, although he knew that Zuoqiu Clan's emotions were involved, given Zuoqiu Clan's status, he wouldn't lie. He couldn't help but become more curious about the Zuoqiu Clan's influence.
"Haha, Senior Brother is exaggerating a little. You don't have to pay attention to it. In fact, our clan has never paid much attention to the fights between the various sects. We only focus on studying the art of refining. As for what the outside world says about our clan, a lot of it is just hearsay."
Zuoqiu Yi smiled faintly and explained in a rather objective manner. As for exactly what the actual situation was, only they knew in their hearts.
"After listening to Zuo Qiu's words, I suddenly feel that being invited here is really worth it. I don't know how many people want to see the elegance of the Zuoqiu family."
Wen Liangzhou said with a smile.
"You're too polite, Fellow Wen. In that case, let's go into the city!"
Zuo Qiuyi led Luo Ping and the others into the city and headed for the Zuoqiu family's residence. After entering the city, they could directly feel the vastness of Zuo Qiu City. Not only were the streets several times wider than those of ordinary towns, but even the buildings on both sides of the streets were larger and taller than those of ordinary towns.
As the actual ruler of Zuo Qiu City, the Zuoqiu family received a large amount of commission from these shops every year. It was no wonder that Zuo Qiuyi could spend so much money at the auction.
While the Zuoqiu family received the commission from these shops, they also assumed the responsibility of maintaining the safety of these shops. Although these shops were in Zuo Qiu City, it was hard to guarantee that these cultivators would not go out. Once they provoked enemies outside, as long as they entered Zuo Qiu City, the Zuoqiu family would absolutely be safe and sound.
This was the main reason why these shops were willing to stay in Zuo Qiu City even though they paid so much commission every year. In addition, the treasures refined by the Zuoqiu family could be bought by these shops first and sold in other places.
In this way, the number of Spirit Stones they earned was also very considerable. After countless years of accumulation, the two sides had formed a long-term win-win relationship.
"I didn't expect this Air Suspension Chariot to be so fast. Does it really not need to consume Spirit Stones to maintain its flight?"
Sitting in a strange-looking chariot, Luo Ping asked curiously. Not only him, but Wen Liangzhou, Ting Qin, and Shen Ke also looked surprised.
"Of course not. This Air Suspension Chariot is a new type of flying device that has just been refined by our family. Except for Zuo Qiu City, it is not available anywhere else."
"This kind of Air Suspension Chariot does not need to consume Spirit Stones to maintain its flight. The core of its operation is a set of compound circulation formations, which can continuously absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and then convert it into output to power the chariot's flight."
"However, because this set of compound circulation formations is not perfect, it can only circulate back and forth for a short period of time. Therefore, the Air Suspension Chariot's flight time and distance are limited. Of course, it is not a problem to fly in Zuo Qiu City."
Seeing that Luo Ping and the others were so curious about the Air Suspension Chariot, Zuo Qiuyi explained the principle of the chariot to them. Hearing this, Luo Ping and the others were stunned. They really did not expect the Zuoqiu family to be so imaginative.
Even if it was a Cultivator's Spatial Spiritual Device, it still needed the Cultivator's Vital Energy to maintain its flight. If it was an ordinary flying device that did not have the ability of a mustard seed space, then it could only consume Spirit Stones to maintain its flight.
A flying device like the Air Suspension Chariot that did not need to consume Spirit Stones could definitely save a lot of Spirit Stones. However, as Zuo Qiuyi said, there was a limit to the time and distance of its use, so it could not be popularized for the time being. Otherwise, as long as it entered the major auction houses, the Zuoqiu family would definitely become rich overnight.
"The land of our family is in front of us. Let's get off here."
After flying for about half an hour, Zuo Qiuyi finally told everyone that they had arrived at their destination. After getting off the Air Suspension Chariot, everyone stepped towards a black ancient castle not far away.
It was a short distance, so they arrived in a moment. Luo Ping looked at the three big words "Zuo Qiu Castle" above the ancient castle. Looking at the courtyard walls built with a black base, he once again felt the difference of the Zuoqiu family.
"Everyone, please follow me!"
Zuo Qiuyi took the lead and led everyone to the gate of the Zuo Qiu Castle. There was no guard at the gate, and there was no need to guard, because no one dared to trespass. Following Zuo Qiuyi, Luo Ping and the others observed the situation of the Zuo Qiu Castle while walking inside. Soon, they arrived at a hall.
"Miss, Elder Xia, it's great that you are back."
As soon as Zuo Qiuyi led Luo Ping and the others into the hall, they saw an old man walking towards them and said anxiously.
"Uncle Yan, what's wrong? You don't look too good."
Seeing the old man's expression, Zuo Qiuyi asked anxiously.
"This …"
The old man called Yan Bo looked at Luo Ping and the others and seemed to be in a dilemma. Wen Liangzhou saw this and quickly said, "Taoist Zuo Qiu, please go ahead and deal with the matter first. We will sit here and feel the environment here."
"Okay, come on, serve us tea!"
After Zuo Qiuyi gave the order, several servants came out from behind and brought tea to Luo Ping and the others, pouring tea for them. Zuo Qiuyi and Xia Youhan followed Yan Bo to the room behind the hall.
"Martial Uncle, is the Zuoqiu family really as powerful as you said? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "
As soon as Zuo Qiuyi left, Shenke quickly asked. Along the way, Shenke and Ting Qin basically didn't say anything due to Xia Youhan's imposing manner. It was not until this moment that Shenke finally opened his mouth.
"You didn't ask me. If I tell you everything about all the sects and families, won't you be exhausted to death?"
"In fact, what I've told you is just part of the situation of the Zuoqiu family. Many Cultivators know about it, but there are still some things that few people know about. If I tell you about them, I'm sure that you will truly understand what 'awesome' means."
Wen Liangzhou said rather proudly. From his words, it was clear that he knew some secrets.
"Martial Uncle, tell us about it. Let us broaden our horizons."
Ting Qin asked immediately. Not only her, but Luo Ping and Shenke also wanted to know more about the Zuoqiu family, so the three of them looked eagerly at Wen Liangzhou.
Seeing this, Wen Liangzhou took a sip of tea and said, "Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you. But remember, don't talk nonsense when you go out!"
"I heard that the reason why the Zuoqiu family is so rich, in addition to a long inheritance, is that one of the ancestors of the Zuoqiu family was an Immortal Weapon Refiner of the Yuan Yi Holy Palace who mysteriously disappeared 100,000 years ago."
"What? An Immortal Weapon Refiner? "
Shenke exclaimed in shock. He was very clear about the rarity and value of an Immortal Weapon Refiner. The number of Immortal Weapon Refiners was even rarer than the number of Great Ascension Stage experts. He didn't expect that the Zuoqiu family had an Immortal Weapon Refiner.
Luo Ping was also shocked, but what he cared about was not that there was an Immortal Weapon Refiner in the Zuoqiu family, but that this Immortal Weapon Refiner was a disciple of the Yuan Yi Holy Palace.
As early as when he was in the Mortal Domain, he learned about the Yuan Yi Holy Palace from Immortal Qing Xiu, but he didn't know the reason for the destruction of the Yuan Yi Holy Palace.
In addition, Luo Ping's Three Thousand Steps Celestial Dipper was obtained by Immortal Qing Xiu from the Yuan Yi Holy Palace. The reason why he was able to open all his meridians and apertures was because Immortal Qing Xiu had used the research results of the four Immortal Masters of the Yuan Yi Holy Palace. Overall, Luo Ping and the Yuan Yi Holy Palace had a very deep relationship.
"In addition, there are members of the Zuoqiu family in the three major chambers of commerce in the Cultivation Domain who have been invited to serve as the Pavilion Master of their Weapon Refining Pavilion. Think about the power of the three major chambers of commerce and you will know the status of the Zuoqiu family."
Wen Liangzhou ignored the surprised expressions of Luo Ping and the others and continued to say more shocking news. As soon as these words came out, Luo Ping and the others were completely dumbfounded.
The three major chambers of commerce were huge forces in the entire Cultivation Domain. Any one of them could compete with a first-class sect. Now that the Zuoqiu family had members of the three chambers of commerce as the Pavilion Masters of their Weapon Refining Pavilions, didn't that mean that their connections were very wide?
Think about it, which sect dared to provoke a member of the Zuoqiu family? As long as they sent a message talisman, wouldn't the powerhouses of the three major chambers of commerce come to meet them? It was possible to destroy the sect in minutes.
