Chapter 23 Chang'an
Fengjiang City.
The richest people of Jiang Kingdom are located here.
The Grandmasters of the Jianghu are also located here.
Fengjiang has always been a gathering place for people from the world.
There are very few practitioners here.
Even if there are, they are just purple-robed guards in the Ye clan. They are generally only second-level cultivators, and there are very few existences in the third-level. After Wu Daozi's death, the monks in Fengjiang City were basically lower than the third-level. Of course, this does not include Ye Jinyu and Ye Sangyu brothers.
In addition, the scattered monks walking in Fengjiang City all came from the mountains and fields, and they were all just two and three realms.
Although Fengjiang is far away from the temple, after all, there are Grandmaster League and Ye clans located here. There are often very powerful monks passing by. Even if they are not stranded, ordinary monks dare not act here. Putting aside Grandmaster League, although the Ye clan is only a rich clan, the title of richest man will look completely different. The Ye clan prepares a lot of food and grass every year to supply soldiers guarding the border. Even the very powerful mountain gate dares to provoke the Ye clan at will, let alone the mountain monks.
Although Li Mengzhou often passes by Fengjiang, it has been a long time since he actually walked in Fengjiang streets like this.
He came to Taiqing Tower, Fengjiang, and ordered some signature dishes casually, a pot of good wine, and waited patiently.
Didn't wait too long, when the food was just served, Ye Jinyu and Ye Sangyu and his brothers walked into Taiqing Building.
The shopkeeper of Taiqing Tower naturally hurriedly greeted him, but Ye Jinyu sent him away casually. He looked at Li Mengzhou who was sitting there eating quietly, frowned, and said, "It is said that the master of the spectator has entered the world. If you go to Wei State at this moment, if you don't see the master of the spectator, you will not get any attitude."
Li Mengzhou said: "The attitude of the host is actually not that important. Xuanhaiguan is not Kuchan Temple. It is enough to have Su Bieli's attitude."
Ye Sangyu whispered: "The attitude of the eldest brother can fully represent the attitude of Xuan Haiguan, but I am not sure whether the eldest brother will help."
Ye Jinyu was silent for a moment and said, "You can just make your own decisions. I am not here when the capital happened, but I can't continue to do nothing. I have to do my best. After this meal, you go to Wei State and I will go back to the capital."
Li Mengzhou could probably understand Ye Jinyu’s idea, but if he wanted to do something, it would be really difficult to rely on Ye Jinyu’s current cultivation level. He said, “Have you thought about how to do it?”
Ye Jinyu said: "It has never been an easy thing to strengthen my strength as soon as possible, but I should have some other means. I have already found a goal. No matter how difficult it is, I have to do my best."
Li Mengzhou said curiously: "Even if you have entered the Thousand Sea Realm and have enough time to break into the Five Realms, it should be difficult for the Thousand Sea Realm to be opened again now. How do you enhance your means?"
Ye Jinyu said: "Cao Rushan once arrived in Fengjiang."
Li Mengzhou said in surprise: "You want to learn array art?"
Array technique should be the most difficult thing to learn in the world, otherwise the formation craft would not have been able to develop again until now. If he could cultivate formation technique, with the current peak cultivation level of Ye Jinyu's fourth realm, he would be qualified to fight against the great monks in the fifth realm, but the premise is that he could cultivate it. If he only learned some basic skills, it would naturally be meaningless.
Ye Jinyu said: "Master Cao has been looking for suitable people. I heard that he has also found you. That was when he thought it would be difficult for you to make any progress. But now you are obviously not suitable for practicing array techniques because you are simply a waste of time."
"Actually, even I didn't expect that I had a high level of attainment in formation. Although it took a long time to practice formation, my qualifications in formation can be as short as possible. If Master Cao teaches me hard enough, I will work hard enough to learn it. Maybe I still can't achieve it in a very short time, but no matter what, I have to give it a try."
Li Mengzhou naturally could not say anything to dissuade him. Since Ye Jinyu has accomplished in formation techniques and is willing to learn it, that is certainly not a bad thing. Even though there are few sword cultivators in the world who are dedicated to learning formation techniques in countless years, they do not suppress their skills. Ye Jinyu has many things that he cannot let go in the secular world. Compared with learning formation techniques, it is obviously more suitable for him than learning swords.
Although everyone has ideas, it will not affect the swordsmanship, at least it has an impact on Ye Jinyu. Since he entered the Palace Sword Academy, he has never really focused on practicing the swordsmanship. Even if he is devoted to it now, it is actually difficult to achieve anything more. It is better to do what he wants to do.
After drinking and eating in Taiqing Tower, Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu set off for the State of Wei.
At the same time, there was also a team heading towards Wei State. Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu's target was Xuanhaiguan, and Jiang State naturally had to send candidates to meet the Emperor of Wei State.
The journey was long, so they did not deliberately delay it in order to arrive as soon as possible. At most, they saw the wonderful scenery on the way and stopped for a moment.
But even so, it took a month and a half to arrive at Chang'an, the capital of Wei.
Just after the New Year, Chang'an City is still prosperous.
Snowflakes are rising, covered with silver, and red lanterns are hanging alleys in Chang'an City.
The glory of the sunset shines on the entire city, as if it is plated with a layer of gold, and the combination of silver and white everywhere makes this most prosperous city in the world even more beautiful, like a fairyland.
The scenery of Chang'an is close to you. Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu walked hand in hand. The cold wind blew on their faces, but it gave people a very comfortable feeling. They felt the prosperity and hustle and bustle of Chang'an City. Teahouses, wineries, and various shops on both sides of the street were full of guests. There were small vendors with big umbrellas setting up street stalls, and the shouting sounded very beautiful.
The streets are full of traffic, and the crowds are full of calm and comfortable smiles on their faces. Although there is not only such a scene in Chang'an City in the world, it is rare to find someone who can compare with Chang'an City. The people here seem to live in the most poetic and picturesque fairyland.
"I have always heard of Chang'an and have never seen Chang'an. It turns out that it is better to meet than to be famous. The Wei State has the most powerful person in the world, the first among young monks, and the most prosperous imperial capital. If it weren't for the quiet mountains and seas that had been established together, the Wei State would definitely have the strength to target the world."
Langya City is the most solid in the world, but not the most prosperous. The sturdyness of Langya City is due to the formation technique, and the Lihua Academy is seated in Langya City, but Xuanhaiguan is not in Chang'an City.
But to go to Xuanhaiguan, they had to pass by Chang'an City and naturally had to come in and take a look.
Although Ye Sangyu practiced in the Xuanhai Temple, she had never been to Chang'an City. The food in Chang'an City is famous for its bright light. Her eyes are shining.
But they didn't have long been walking around, and a few young men wearing swords on their waists and floating in their blue shirts came towards them. The leader was still an acquaintance, and was Liu Ze, the master of the Qingyu Sect, the leader of the Wei State's national teacher.
He bowed to Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu and said, "Mr. Qi, Mr. Ye, my master speculated that you will be in Chang'an today, and I have been waiting for a long time."
It is not a secret that Jiang Guo will have someone to come to Wei. Naturally, the leader of Qingyu Sect is not as capable as Master Wunian, but he is the national teacher of Wei after all. Since Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu appeared on the border of Wei, they have actually been in the sight of Qingyu Sect disciples. It is not difficult to determine when they will arrive in Chang'an.
Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "We were just visiting Chang'an, and we didn't expect to meet someone here. There will be someone else to deal with the specific matters of the alliance between Jiang and Wei."
Liu Ze said: "The people who came to Wei in Jiang Kingdom arrived in Chang'an a few days ago. They have already met His Majesty and are currently being treated to good students. However, Mr. Qi and Mr. Ye are special after all. Since they have arrived in Chang'an, they should naturally meet."
Ye Sangyu turned to look at Li Mengzhou and said, "We are not in a hurry anyway, and it's nothing to meet."
She had just tasted the sweetness of Chang'an's food, so naturally she didn't expect to set off for the Xuanhai Temple soon. Li Mengzhou could understand what she was thinking, so she could only smile helplessly and said to Liu Ze: "Then let's meet the National Master."
Qingyu Sect is the most powerful mountain gate in Wei Kingdom except Xuanhaiguan and Shaohua Academy. Its sect leader is also a big thing at the peak of Zhishen Realm. It is probably even half a step away from Xuanming above the fifth realm.
Even if Li Mengzhou currently has the ability to kill ordinary peak cultivators at will, he may not be able to win if he has to face the leader of Qingyu Sect. Of course, even if he wants to fight, Li Mengzhou is not afraid at all.
Besides, there is no reason for the fight between the two sides.
The sect leader of Qingyu Sect is not in the palace, but in a mansion very close to the palace. It covers a wide area. The plaque contains four gold-plated characters "Qingyu Sect Mansion".
Following Liu Ze's footsteps, he entered the mansion. Although Li Mengzhou did not practice formation techniques with Cao Rushan, with his current realm, he could still faintly sense that the mansion contained a very powerful aura, which was a large formation.
The leader of Qingyu Sect is also a formation artist, but unlike Cao Rushan, the leader of Qingyu Sect is actually just a leisurely fun. He has only practiced with a fallen formation artist, and his attainments in formation art are naturally not as good as Cao Rushan, who is a purely formation artist.
"Mr. Qi took good care of his young disciples in Qianhai Realm, and he was a little ashamed to say that Liu Ze had never been in the world, and he didn't understand many worldly ways. He was deceived and almost made a big mistake. I want to apologize to Mr. Qi here."
The leader of Qingyu Sect stood up to greet him, very politely, and welcomed Li Mengzhou and Ye Sangyu into the hall.
Li Mengzhou also bowed and said, "It's just a trivial matter that is irrelevant, so the national teacher doesn't have to worry about it."
Liu Ze personally poured tea and expressed his gratitude to Li Mengzhou again.
The leader of Qingyu Sect sat down again, picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked a little old, his face was full of wrinkles, but his complexion was very good. When he walked, he was also breeze under his feet, and his waist was straight. He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi and Mr. Ye are both among the people, not to mention that Mr. Ye is a disciple of the master of the temple. If there is any inadequate reception, I hope he will forgive me."
Li Mengzhou did not drink tea. He looked at Ye Sangyu, who was eating the pastry sent by the disciples of Qingyu Sect, and said to the leader of Qingyu Sect: "When the national master saw me, he probably wanted to say something. It would be better to go straight to the point."
The leader of Qingyu Sect reached out to signal to Liu Ze. Liu Ze nodded, then took out a neatly folded rice paper from his arms, spread it on the tall wooden table beside Li Mengzhou. It was a portrait. There was a man in the painting, looking quite old, "Mr. Seven is familiar with me?"
Li Mengzhou frowned tightly. He did feel familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
The leader of Qingyu Sect smiled and said, "That's true. Mr. Qi was still very young back then, and his memory of some people may be blurred. Although I don't know who Mr. Qi is in Bu Er Cave, or what connection does it have with someone in Bu Er Cave, since Mr. Qi has admitted to the world that he has found Bu Er Cave, then he should care about the person in this painting."
