Chapter 237 Neighboring Abyss Gongyue City
Chapter 237 Neighboring Abyss Gongyue City
Jiang Yuru sat on the outskirts of his wives and concubines, watching Lu Yu being surrounded by beautiful women, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.
She didn't know how Lu Yu would arrange her after arriving in Gongyue City.
All she knew was that her slight hesitation when she first arrived in Poyun City led to a huge difference in her current status.
But fortunately, it seems that it is not too late now.
Yuying was beside Jiang Yuru, listening to Lu Yu's aggressive words with the wives and concubines, her expression calm.
She seemed uninterested in all of this.
The fairy boat's light flowed and flew forward quickly.
After crossing a desolate mountain pass, you could still see black smoke rising towards the sky.
This is the famous volcanic forest in the southern part of Jingguo, where the poisonous gas from the volcano easily erodes the cultivators' bodies.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot stay for long.
After crossing several different terrains in succession, Gongyue City arrived.
This is a large city near the abyss.
The abyss is vast and boundless.
Even light can hardly reach the end below the abyss.
But on the edge of the abyss, there is a waterfall of spiritual liquid overflowing outward.
When the mist from the waterfall sprays, the rich spiritual energy rises, rendering the entire Gongyue Fairy City dreamlike.
At this time, the fairy boat gradually approached Gongyue City.
When they arrived above the Qingyun Shop in this place, Lu Yu led his wives and concubines out of the quiet room.
There are six major fairy cities in Xingzhong Continent.
Lancang occupies two of them.
Except for Gongyue City, the other fairy cities are dominated by a powerful sect.
Only Gongyue City in Lancang is where many scattered cultivators gather.
If Chaoyang Continent is the place where many cultivators aspire to practice throughout their lives, then Gongyue City is the lifelong aspiration of all scattered cultivators in Xingzhong Continent.
"Senior Xu!"
"Manager Qi!"
After Senior Xu landed from the fairy boat, Qi, the manager of the Qingyun Shop branch, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted him warmly.
After chatting for a while, they walked towards Lu Yu.
Senior Xu smiled and introduced, "This is Lu Yu, the newly appointed guest cultivator of my Poyun City, who experienced the Heavenly Tribulation. Fellow Daoist Lu."
Manager Qi quickly clasped his hands and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you have worked hard on your journey."
"I will immediately arrange a residence for Fellow Daoist Lu."
"After Fellow Daoist Lu settles down, I will arrange for the cooperative cultivators here to welcome and entertain Fellow Daoist Lu."
After speaking, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Wan Yue, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator with a strong spiritual pressure beside Lu Yu.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu returned the gesture and said, "Manager Qi, I am new here and I dare not be so high-profile."
"Moreover, this time, I have brought my family with me, and there may be many trivial matters to attend to."
"After I am done with the busy work, I will personally visit Manager Qi. I wonder if the manager agrees?"
Senior Xu immediately whispered in Manager Qi's ear, "This Fellow Daoist Lu is usually humble and low-key. In my opinion, there is no need for a welcome. A symbolic gesture will suffice."
"And, not only Fellow Daoist Lu and his family have come this time, but also a fairy from the Zonglou. She has come as the protector of the Tianji guest cultivator and cannot be neglected."
Manager Qi was surprised to hear this and quickly bowed to Wan Yue.
Then, he responded to Senior Xu, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu must be an extraordinary genius to receive the protection of cultivators at the level of immortals. Very honorable."
"What Fellow Daoist Lu said, I will definitely comply with."
They chatted for a while longer.
Then, Lu Yu was led by Manager Qi out of the Qingyun Shop.
But as soon as he touched the smooth blue stone slabs on the street, Lu Yu felt a continuous surge of spiritual power.
And the towering shops on both sides of the street are almost as high as the city wall.
Looking further down the street, I realized how limited my knowledge was.
The shops here are as high as the Broken Cloud City wall, but the city wall here is several times higher than the Broken Cloud City wall.
On the city wall, there are repeated engravings of patterns. When viewed from a distance, not only are the lines smooth and beautiful, but they also contain several astonishing formations.
As Qi, the shopkeeper, took a few more steps and turned the corner, Lu Yu suddenly felt that his vision had widened.
He saw a square that extended to the edge of the city, divided by a flowing blue spirit river.
On both sides, there were many cultivators strolling leisurely, relaxing their minds.
Qi, the shopkeeper, immediately smiled and said,
"Lu Fellow Daoist."
"This square is called Linyuan, built on top of the rolling spirit river."
"It is said to have been built by the first generation Immortal Lord of the Arched Moon City, Lan Cang."
"Each of the ordinary-looking bluestone slabs here is actually a high-grade magical tool comparable to the Foundation Building cultivators' refinement."
"That's why they have remained intact for millions of years."
"And, beneath these bluestones, is the rolling spirit river, which is also the core of the Arched Moon City's defensive formation."
After speaking, Qi, the shopkeeper, flipped his palm and took out several jade slips, distributing them one by one to Lu Yu and his wives.
"Although the defensive formation does not restrict cultivators who have just entered the Arched Moon City, if they have not obtained an identity jade slip for a long time, they will be expelled by the defensive formation."
"In peacetime, the expulsion simply means being automatically sent outside the Arched Moon City."
"But in times of war, the formation will instantly unleash attacking spells."
Lu Yu nodded slightly and stored the jade slips in his storage belt.
He looked at the open square built on Linyuan, with a waterfall in the center, and felt a sense of tranquility and joy.
Even the distant white clouds over the abyss showed a peaceful and serene scene.
This was the place he longed for as a cultivator.
Seeing this, Qi, the shopkeeper, did not disturb him.
After waiting for a while, he finally hailed a spirit beast-drawn carriage on the roadside.
After everyone got on the carriage, he also sat down on the soft cushion and smiled,
"The Arched Moon City is different from other cultivator cities."
"This is a city built specifically for cultivators, called Linyuan City."
"And there are special flight restrictions here. Flying on a sword or using levitation requires hundreds of times more spiritual energy than in other places."
"Even Foundation Building cultivators can only float briefly."
"But the Arched Moon City is vast, with the two city gates separated by a distance dozens of times that of other immortal cities."
"So we rely on spirit beast-drawn carriages for transportation."
"Not only can it save the trouble of flying, but it also allows us to relax and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Before long,
The spirit beast-drawn carriage arrived at a teleportation array near the base of the city wall.
Other cultivators and their families who came with Jingguo could stay here for up to a month.
And these were temporary resources obtained by using Lu Yu's temporary identity jade card as a guest cultivator of the Tianji Sect.
Similar to Fellow Daoist Xu and his wife, they also benefited from Lu Yu's status and obtained a decent residence.
After a group of cultivators got off, the spirit beast-drawn carriage continued to run and gallop through the streets.
Just fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a relatively lively street.
From the spirit beast-drawn carriage, Lu Yu could see the frequent flashes of white light from the teleportation array there.
Kuishui 123 Small Residence.
Although it was called a small residence, it was actually twice the size of the Lanxin Mansion.
After Qi, the shopkeeper, handed over the jade slip ring, he led Lu Yu and his wives into the teleportation array.
A flash of light later, they appeared in a magnificent courtyard and immortal tower.
