Chapter 421 When you've had too much to drink, you naturally have more chapter titles.
All the immortal kings nodded.
Zhou Yang, the Immortal King, has probably gone to pursue the enemy.
As Zhong Lingxin drifted away, she recalled the strides of Immortal Emperor Yiren in the void.
She also channeled her immortal energy and strode forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
She soon realized that this was a spatial technique.
Although she wasn't a spatial immortal, she had studied spatial formations and was quite adept at manipulating the folds and turns of space.
This is a good opportunity to further understand the folding of space.
Zhong Lingxin took a step forward and began to cast a magic spell.
As she increased the speed of her magic incantations, the coordination between her hands and feet became increasingly seamless.
Gradually, all she needed to do was move her fingers like flowing water and her feet like floating clouds, and she would drift far away step by step.
Two days later, she appeared in the sky above another immortal city.
The distances between the immortal cities in the celestial realm are extremely far.
The teleportation arrays between the immortal cities all utilize spatial arrays.
Even so, it takes at least half a day to travel between the two immortal cities. For those farther away, it can sometimes take up to half a month to get the message.
When Zhong Lingxin was fighting Zhou Yang, she fled at top speed.
At that moment, she wasn't looking in any direction; she was only thinking about running as far away as possible.
Therefore, she didn't know which celestial city she had stepped into, so she had to descend from the clouds and go to the city gate to take a look.
As noon approached, there were few people entering the city. Zhong Lingxin descended from the clouds at a distance and followed behind a group of little immortals, listening to their conversation.
"Wang Er, your red beans have had a bumper harvest this year, and you've been selling them for three days straight."
"It's not exactly a bumper harvest, only about 10% more than in previous years. You're here selling fish again, aren't you?"
"This year is good; fewer mythical beasts have appeared, so our harvest is better than in previous years."
"These past few years, the conscription has been so intense that the immortals in our Hulan City have all gone to hide in the mountains, so fewer immortal beasts have come out."
"You are all well, but I live in the mountains and they have stolen from me several times. A lot of the peaches I planted have been stolen."
"..." When Zhong Lingxin was in Changning City, she had already paid attention to the surrounding immortal cities.
This Hulan City is relatively close to Changning City; it takes about a day to reach it by teleportation array.
If you calculate the time it took her to learn about spatial folding, it should be about the same as the time it took to use the teleportation array.
If she increases the folding speed a little more, could she be faster than using a teleportation array?
With that thought in mind, Zhong Lingxin leaped onto the clouds again and headed towards Wuyuan City.
She needs to go pick up Uncle Feng Yu first.
In Wuyuan City, as the name of the carefree fairy spread, Feng Yu already knew that it was Zhong Lingxin who bought him.
Fortunately, he already had the mark of the contract on him, so no one dared to mess with him for the time being.
While the entire Southern Border was in a state of panic, recruiting soldiers, he escaped the fate of becoming a soldier because of his low cultivation level. He continued to stay peacefully in Tungsten Yuan City as a shop assistant, quietly collecting intelligence.
To be honest, there wasn't much information that Tungsten City could gather about its past in the Southern Border.
Feng Yu went to great lengths to find out that Yu Wuqing and Lu Zichen had both gone to the Middle Realm.
Then, considering that Zhong Lingxin had also gone to the Middle Realm, he guessed that Zhong Lingxin might have gone to find the two of them.
After considering his own situation, Feng Yu decided to assign himself a task: to keep an eye on the situation in Ascension City.
He believed that both Zhong Lingxin and Yu Wuqing would be concerned about the ascension situation in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
As for Lu Zichen, he wasn't even on his radar.
For many years, he frequently traveled between Wuyuan City and Feisheng City, which finally gave him the opportunity to meet Wang Yuantao, a steward of a city lord's mansion in Feisheng City.
Every time he went to Flying Ascension City to resell tungsten stones, he would invite Wang Yuantao out for a drink and chat about the situation in Flying Ascension City.
His reasoning was sound: to do business, one must understand what Ascension City has and what it lacks, so that he can make money.
At first, Wang Yuantao didn't pay much attention to Feng Yu, but as Feng Yu treated him to meals every time and only talked about the various shops in the streets and alleys of Feisheng City, he gradually felt at ease coming out for a drink.
When you drink more, you naturally have more topics to talk about.
As a member of the Wang family who governs Ascension City, Wang Yuantao, though not the city lord, knows a lot of inside information.
Occasionally, during their conversation, they would mention the contracted immortal slave.
Especially the immortal servants who have just ascended from the Ascension Pool.
He wanted to do business in this area with Feng Yu.
Those powerful ones, those who have been in the Ascension Pool for a long time, are all specifically requested by the Wang family; he dares not resell them.
But those who only stay in the industry for a couple of days and don't amount to much, he could try to contract them out and hand them over to Feng Yu to sell.
Feng Yu clenched his fists angrily in his sleeve.
That's how he was sold!
Wang Yuantao also mysteriously mentioned an ascended fairy named Zhong Lingxin, who had been in seclusion for nine days. She was extremely intelligent and powerful, and had escaped from the city lord's mansion under the alias Wang Meili.
The previous city lord was punished by the Wang family and sent to the Divine Punishment Cave because of his dereliction of duty in this matter. A group of Wang family members were also punished at that time. That's why the later generation of Wang family members took over the positions in the city lord's mansion.
Wang Yuantao even suspected that the so-called carefree fairy Lu Xin might actually be Zhong Lingxin.
Unfortunately, the timing didn't match up, so he could only harbor his doubts.
Wang Yuantao encouraged Feng Yu, and it's hard to say whether there will be another Zhong Lingxin, who clearly spent nine days soaking but falsely reported two or three days.
If another immortal like that appears, they'll hit the jackpot.
Upon hearing Wang Yuantao's explanation, Feng Yu immediately understood how Zhong Lingxin had escaped. He secretly praised Zhong Lingxin's courage and meticulousness, and lamented that he himself lacked such ability.
He listened to Wang Yuantao's plan with shining eyes, slapping his thigh with joy: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you are truly my brother! It's settled then, this is a risk-free and highly profitable business! Brother Wang, it's a deal, you get 70% and I get 30%, no, you get 80% and I get 20%, it's settled then."
Wang Yuantao was extremely pleased with Feng Yu's understanding. He pretended to decline, saying, "No, no, no, how can I have eight parts and you two parts? When two brothers do business, they should split it equally!"
Feng Yu's ambitions have always been to cultivate immortality, especially the immortals of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
He knew that if the profits were split equally, Wang Yuantao would most likely find someone else to partner with.
Only by maximizing Wang Yuantao's interests can he give all the ascended immortals to himself.
Over the past one or two hundred years, Wang Yuantao has granted the seals to hundreds of immortals.
Unfortunately, none of these immortals are from the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Feng Yu wasn't in a hurry. He gave Wang Yuantao immortal stones at the market price and then used these immortals to open more shops.
Feng Yu has never exploited these immortals. Instead, he tells them that if they have the ability, they should break the contract. If they can't break it, they should stay put. With the contract in place, others won't bother with them.
Before he knew it, Feng Yu opened more and more shops and earned more and more immortal stones, enough for his cultivation.
