Vol 4 Chapter 16: Appreciation Club

Black Rock City is no smaller than Canglan City back then. When Chen Xun walked slowly into Zhao Jifang, it was getting late, and the sky was covered with faint dark clouds, and the stars covered the moon.
The areas where most of the ordinary islanders live in the city are shrouded in a dark night that can't be seen. Only Zhao Jifang's lights are overflowing, like daylight.
Xiangshan is a place where casual cultivators live, renting a cave to practice for ten or eight years, and even making breakthroughs in Xiangshan with the shelter of Chixing Palace, is a common occurrence, and Zhao Jifang is the place where casual cultivators are most concentrated in Heishi City. .
Going out to sea from the southeast of Yunzhou and flying across the vast seas, Heishicheng is the first big city encountered by many casual practitioners and disciples of Yunyun travels and cultivators. In Heishicheng, it is not uncommon for strong people in the Tianyuan and Yuandan realms .
Although Zhao Jifang is named Fang, it occupies a very large area, covering almost a quarter of Heishi City. The streets and lanes paved by bluestone extend in all directions.
Wanbao Building is very recognizable. It is located in the southeast corner of Zhaojifang. It covers an area of ​​1,000 acres, densely covered with pavilions, and a small white jade tower with a height of more than ten feet.
The eaves of the tower are covered with sapphire glazed glaze, and the corners of the eaves are hung with eight-treasure talisman lamps.
When Chen Xun entered Black Rock City, he noticed the existence of Wan Bao Lou, but he hadn't had the opportunity to get closer to take a closer look.
At this time, seeing the white jade pagoda in the center of Wanbao Tower flickered, Chen Xun was also secretly surprised.
No matter where it is, Lingmai is always the scarce resource.
It’s not a rare thing that Wanbaolou dug a huge piece of white jade from a deep mountain and carved it into a pavilion to decorate its wealth. However, the white jade pagoda of Wanbaolou is located on a spiritual vein, and there is a forbidden inside. The law formation, the forces behind Wanbaolou are much stronger than Chen Xun had previously imagined.
Today is the semi-annual appraisal meeting of Wanbaolou in Blackstone City. People are crowded in front of the gate, and the cultivators that are rarely seen on weekdays appear in groups, and there are many cultivators of the Tianyuan realm.
There are also many disciples wearing Wanbaolou costumes in front of the gate, entertaining the monks who participated in the Appreciation Meeting today, and the leader is surprisingly a deacon elder with the highest cultivation level of the Tianyuan realm.
With Chen Xun's cultivation base at this time, he would naturally not put the Tianyuan realm cultivator in his eyes, but he did not expect that Wanbaolou would send the deacon elder to the gate to do the errands to welcome guests.
This is only a branch of Wanbaolou in Blackstone City, and it is difficult for Chen Xun to figure out the power behind Wanbaolou.
The monks who walked into the courtyard with the Wanbaolou disciples all had talisman in their hands; the monks without talisman must be allowed to enter after additional identification by the Wanbaolou disciples.
Chen Xun frowned slightly. He asked Zhao Hongling to discuss matters at the Wanbaolou Appraising Meeting, but he didn't expect this link.
Zhao Hongling did not have the invitation letter issued by Wanbaolou in advance, but she had no place to be seen on Jiyue Island. Not afraid that Wanbaolou would check her identity, she walked in front of Chen Xun and saw Chen Xun. Hesitated at the end of the alley, and suddenly thought of this question.
If Wanbaolou is an ordinary shop, Chen Xun is not afraid to go in, but seeing the aura of the white jade pagoda gleaming, even if the lowest-level forbidden circle is deployed in the pagoda, it is comparable to the world of law in such a close distance. Peak power.
"Senior Shilong, Xiucheng Yuandan, came to Wanbaolou. It is really a fascinating place for Wanbaolou!" The deacon elder of Wanbaolou walked towards Chen Xun at this time, and the secret voice said, "Wanbaolou does not know Shilong. Senpai returned to Heishicheng recently, and did not send the talisman to him, so I asked Senpai Shilong not to be offended..."
After Chen Xun entered the city, he converged his aura to the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and wanted to see the situation in Heishi City before deciding whether to reveal his identity as a master at this time.
Believing that the person in front of him couldn't see through his disguise, Chen Xun felt that there must be someone with a higher level of cultivation in the Wanbao Building, peeping at everything in the door, even he didn't notice the trace of being peeped.
"Senior Shi Long, please give Wanbaolou a chance to make up for the mistake..." The deacon elder of Wanbaolou reached out and invited Chen Xun inside.
Chen Xun felt that although Master Shilong was cruel, he was also very careful not to offend the powerful sect, and he should not deliberately deal with his powerful enemies in Blackrock City.
If he doesn't even dare to enter Wanbaolou, how can he use the identity of Master Shilong to get in?
"Huh..." Chen Xun snorted noncommitantly, and followed the deacon elder of Wanbaolou into the courtyard.
Seeing the deacon elder of Wanbaolou personally greeted Master Shilong, who had a lonely temperament, walked into Wanbaolou, many monks were very surprised. They were all wondering, why did Master Shilong have such a respectful status?

Following Wanbaolou's deacon elders, walked to the side of the White Jade Pagoda, and there was a huge stone temple facing the lake.
Seeing other monks entering in file, Chen Xun knew that this hall was where the Appreciation Meeting was held today.
Walking into the main hall, Chen Xun saw that thousands of monks had been seated one after another, most of them were in the late stage of the rebirth stage, and in some VIP seats, there were still dozens of yuan pill real people sitting indifferently.
Chen Xun was quite surprised. He could imagine that Black Rock City was a gathering place for casual cultivators, but he didn't expect that an appraisal of Wanbao Lou would attract so many monks.
The deacon elder guided Chen Xun to take a seat in front of the VIP table. Next to him was an old man with a whiskered beard. A five-claw golden dragon was vividly embroidered in front of the robe, struggling to get out of the robe.
The old man with whiskers took a look at Chen Xun, trimming his black eyebrows, and asked the deacon elder: "Zhou Chuzhen, how do you arrange for such a junior to sit with us?"
Several real Yuan Dan nearby looked over, and waves of consciousness came towards Chen Xunjiao, wanting to know what is special about him.
Shi Longzi has a fierce reputation outside, but in their eyes, they are undoubtedly a junior person.
Wanbaolou arranged such a junior person to sit with them, which is disrespectful to them.
Of course, on the site of Wanbaolou, even if the arrangement of Wanbaolou was improper, no one would say anything, but Donghua, who had a close relationship with the shadow of blood, said otherwise.
The blood shadow disappeared, and Dao Tong unexpectedly fell into the hands of Shi Longzi. Although no one thought that Shi Longzi could kill the blood shadow, there is no evidence that the blood shadow was killed by Shi Longzi, Donghua true person The relationship with Xueying was not even close enough to avenge the blood and hatred for him, but seeing Shi Longzi swaggering to sit next to him, Donghua Zhenren was still extremely upset.
"Senior Donghua, this..." Wan Baolou Deacon Elder Zhou Chu was really embarrassed about how to explain it.
"... Donghua kid, you are qualified to sit here, can't I do it?" Chen Xunjie smiled, his deep pupils showed a crow shadow, staring straight at the man in the golden dragon robe Donghua real person.
The breath that Chen Xun revealed at this moment was extremely fierce. It has been a hundred years since the Donghua Zhenren entered the Yuan Dan realm, and he still feels stagnant.
Although the real Donghua dared not fear Shilongzi and really dared to do it in the Wanbaolou site, the soul felt a crisis of being attacked in an instant, and the whole body's hair was instantly exploded, and he wanted to sacrifice the magical weapon if he couldn't control it. withstand.
Several people in the whole body were shocked. I didn't expect Shi Longzi to obtain the blood shadow of the Taoist line, and even cultivated the original pill in just 30 to 40 years, secretly feeling that this person is really hard to provoke.
Chen Xun found the cultivation base of the Yuan Dan realm, so he was naturally qualified to sit here, and others persuaded the real Donghua to calm down.
This incident was first provoked by Donghua real person, and he was really going to be expelled from Wanbaolou. Everyone looked ugly.
"Senior Shilong is not the first time to enter Wanbao Lou. The precautions of appraising treasures do not need to be nagging by juniors. Senior Shilong cultivated the Yuandan, which is gratifying and congratulatory. If there are treasures through appraisal, the Wanbao Lou will not be drawn. One point, power should be a gift to senior Shi Long." The deacon elder looked at Chen Xun expectantly, thinking that Shi Longzi could cultivate the Yuan Dan within a dozen years, and he would have chance to enter the Sea of ​​Falling Stars. After several treasures are released today, the appraisal of this trip will inevitably be more lively...
"I'll take a look first before talking about it." Chen Xun asked in a straightforward way.
The elder deacon saluted Chen Xun without disturbing Chen Xun. He knew in his heart that Shi Longzi had some treasures in his hands, but he might not want to get rid of it in a hurry. The key lies in today’s appraisal meeting, whether it’s worth his action. Treasures to scramble for.
Chen Xun saw Zhao Hongling walk into the hall and talked to her through divine mind transmission: "Whatever you have, think about it in the bottom of your heart, don’t transmit it..."
"It's senior." Zhao Hongling said in his heart.
The cultivators in the womb-returning realm would prohibit others from spying on the soul, but Chen Xun secretly helped Guihai Pavilion to escape the catastrophe. Zhao Hongling trusted him so much that Chen Xun directly penetrated the spirit of her spirit. , Communicate with spirit.
She also knew that the masters in the hall were like forests, and Chen Xun passed the sound transmission, so that others would not notice that if she passed the sound transmission, it would be easy to show her feet.
"Pavilion Master Du and others? Why do you lead the crowd to return to Jiyue Island after more than ten years? The girl next to you is Du Tong, right?"
"It's the little girl Du Tong. The husband has never returned to Yangquan. No news has been sent back wherever he is in these years. The husband has been stranded overseas for a long time. Not only did Fanziya and other foreign enemies oppress the day, but the return to Haige also breeds resentment. Hong Ling was alone in Yangquan and it was difficult to support. This time he was forced to move the remaining disciples and daughters to settle down on Jiyue Island. I hope that one day the whole family will be reunited, but I am afraid that it will be dragged down. The Guihai Pavilion will be completely buried in Hong Ling. In hand." Zhao Hongling said.
More than ten years ago, Fan Ziya dared to deploy manpower to intercept and kill Zhao Hongling and the young the official road.
Du Liangyong has not been in Yangquan for these years, and Fanziya's suppression of Guihai Pavilion is bound to be unscrupulous.
Zhao Hongling’s cultivation is too low-minded. Guihai Pavilion’s defeat is not difficult to imagine, but Chen Xun did not expect that in the end, there are only five reincarnation monks in Guihai Pavilion who are willing to follow Zhao Hongling, Zhenyang. There are only more than a hundred disciples left. If Zhao Hongling does not go to sea decisively, Guihai Pavilion is afraid that he will be completely swallowed up by Fanziya if he does not delay for a few years.
At this time the appraisal of treasures officially began. The disciples of Wanbaolou successively walked to the appraising platform in front of the main hall, holding gold plates in their hands, and the bottles and jars covered with silk and brocade were the first batch to show their faces today Treasure...R752
