Chapter 173 News from the Ancient Ruins

Although my elder sister is calm and steady, she is very particular about hierarchy and order, which gives people a stronger sense of distance.

The three of them headed towards the reception room.

Russian qing.

“I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the deputy leader of Shui Mo Sect. The two disciples were ignorant and neglected me.”

“No, no, the city lord is too serious.”

One thing that has to be admitted is that after the demise of the Tuoba and Bai families, Guiling City, ruled by Wang Yu, has indeed been thriving and has much more vitality than before.

Many policies have given up some profits to make the entire Guiling market more prosperous, which has also made this young alliance of interests more stable.

Some people have already accepted Wang Yu’s rule from the bottom of their hearts.

The deputy sect leader in front of him was wearing a thin green shirt and carrying a pear blossom carved box on his back.

This is the secret skill of the Ink and Watercolor School. Hidden inside are the paintings they created when they practiced the art of painting. It contains the powerful force of turning the virtual into the real and the spiritual consciousness into artistic conception.

It is not only a symbol of the way of painting and state of mind, but also their means of fighting. It is very similar to talismans. Each scroll is an unfathomable trump card.

However, the painting treasure must be placed close to the body and nurtured with its own unique ink and water essence to ensure that its power is not lost.

It needs to be nurtured for a long time to completely take shape. It can be stored in a storage bag, or it can be passed down as a heritage and handed over to future generations for use, similar to a high-level talisman.

The deputy sect leader’s name is [Qingyang Jushi].

It is rumored that at the peak of the foundation-building realm, all he needs is a suitable spiritual object for forming a golden elixir, or a top-grade golden elixir to help him, and he will have an 80% chance of successfully breaking through.

His fame in this area is no less than that of the ancestors of the three Guiling clans.

The Shui Mo Sect was founded a thousand years ago by a casual cultivator who inherited the tradition of painting from an ancient ruin. It has yet to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Combined with the information given by Guan Yingxue, the purpose is self-evident.

Mr. Qingyang lowered his posture very low, took the initiative to stand up and salute, saying: “I’m sure the city lord can guess the reason for coming here this time. The ancient ruins contain great opportunities. Can you occupy a building complex with my Shuimo Sect?”

Wang Yu remained silent and thought quietly.

The ancient history of this world is divided into two stages.

The period from 10,000 to 50,000 years ago is the ancient times. Today’s documentary records are relatively complete, and we can roughly piece together the historical context.

Fifty thousand to one hundred thousand years ago was the ancient times. At that time, the world was ruled by a glorious immortal dynasty, which was said to have connections with immortals, but it is difficult to piece together a complete ancient history.

Some major events were also recorded intermittently and unclearly.

One hundred thousand years ago and before that was a lost era. Today there are no documents or ancient books that record that period.

The place of ancient ruins is the remains of the ancient immortal dynasty.

This one near Guiling City is an ancient capital of the Xian Dynasty called [Dongjijing]. Its area is difficult to measure, and only a small part of it is visible on the ground.

Every day, monks enter the ruins to explore and search for treasures.

I don’t know what has been triggered recently, and some strange phenomena have appeared, which has made the surrounding forces excited and started their own actions.

“This matter is of great importance. Not only the surrounding forces of Guiling City, but even the Yama Ghost Market and Huangquan Temple may be attracted. Wang must make a careful decision.”

Mr. Qingyang nodded.

“Qingyang can understand, but… I want to see what the successive Guiling City Lords knew about the ancient ruins. I’m sure they left behind a lot of information.”

“Oh?”

Wang Yu smiled, Lao Deng’s true colors were revealed.

Cooperation is only a secondary goal. What is real is to see the exploration intelligence of the city lords of all generations. The Shui Mo Sect should have a lot in this regard.

“This is easy. Brother Qingyang, just exchange it for the information about the Shuimo Sect. All the successive Guiling City Lords of our clan are from the Holy Sect. I don’t need to tell you about their methods. Their value will only be higher than your information.”

This was true. Mr. Qingyang hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

“The city lord is really straightforward, let’s exchange.”

“follow me.”

The exchange of intelligence is not about who wins or loses; the key is whether it can be utilized.

The Shui Mo Sect once gained benefits from the ancient ruins, so they must be very knowledgeable about what’s going on there. Perhaps their founder left behind a lot of valuable information.

Wang Yu might not necessarily go to explore the mystery. After all, he still has many opponents in the Foundation Establishment Stage. There are too many cultivators attracted by this strange phenomenon, and there must be Jindan cultivators among them.

Even if he encounters a low-key Yuanying old monster, he will not join in the fun unless most of the people have dispersed and the group returns to their previous state of having only a few big cats or small cats.

Russian qing.

I got twelve jade slips of past intelligence from the filing room, a total of which were left by twelve Guiling City Lords of extraordinary backgrounds in the past.

Wang Yu has read the information here.

It mainly restores and speculates the terrain of [Dongjijing]. As one of the four capitals of the ancient immortal dynasty, it is equivalent to the capital of a country and there is an imperial city.

The Lord of the Immortal Dynasty seldom comes here, and the specifications are according to the standards of the capital.

The parts currently exposed on the ground are mostly ordinary buildings such as residential houses, ancient streets, fire watchtowers, brothels, horse stalls, etc. Even so, there may be opportunities hidden inside.

It seems like in the ancient immortal dynasty, everyone can practice cultivation.

Going deeper underground, you will come across a street of government offices, including the Tea and Horse Department, the Water Transport Department, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Honglu Temple, etc. Many names that are not clear to modern people can be understood by Wang Yu, after all, he has studied history in his original world.

In the history of this world, the concept of “country” has never appeared since the ancient immortal dynasty. This world has been completely ruled by cultivators, and the structure of forging cities with spiritual veins was also passed down from the late ancient times.

The Taihu Spirit Realm and the Chiyuan Demon Realm have vast territories. One is home to over 10 billion humans, while the other has only over 1 billion people. It can be said that the land is vast and the population is sparse.

But Wang Yu always felt it was too small!
Especially after knowing that the endless ice fields in the Far North were a dangerous place that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could hardly cross, he began to feel that this continent was a bit small.

The more he compared the power of the monks, the stronger this feeling became. He couldn’t explain it, and it was even more difficult for him to understand the origin of his own thoughts. It was like intuition… or was it some kind of whim?

At this moment, Wang Yu’s thoughts were a little scattered.

“City Lord?”

Mr. Qingyang called out softly, and he came to his senses and found himself holding twelve jade slips.

The other party’s information had been handed over to him, but he had not given it out yet.

“Sorry, I suddenly remembered something.”

“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter.”

After receiving the information jade slips of the successive lords of Guiling City, Qingyang Jushi was slightly excited and bowed to Wang Yu with his fists clasped.

“I wonder if the city lord has a quiet room for guests. I will never take this precious information out of the city lord’s mansion, nor will I secretly copy it and take it away.”

Naturally, the fewer people who know this kind of information, the better.

However, judging from the attitude of Mr. Qingyang, he might not even tell the Shuimo Sect. Could it be that he really is looking for an opportunity to form a golden core?
“There is a quiet room. Yingdong, take the layman to the Qishi Garden to stay temporarily.”

“Yes, Master.”

After sending the people away, Wang Yu was also looking at the information about the Shui Mo Sect on his way back. Their exploration and research were not as extensive as those of the Gui Ling City Lords, but they had a deep understanding of one of them.

At the end of the official residence street, Shuimomen found a place called “Xianyuan”, inside which there was a small department with the official name “Huazhi”.

It was here that he obtained some inheritance and clues of Danqing. After several explorations, he found the door close to the palace and found the [Craftsmen’s Courtyard] at the foot of the imperial city.

In addition to stone, wood, ship, lacquer craftsmen…, there are also “painters” and “imperial painters”, who are also classified as craftsmen.

The founder of the Shui Mo Sect inherited the legacy of a painter. According to the speculations he left behind, the royal painter, whose name sounds even more impressive, is likely to have the Nascent Soul level Danqing Dao inheritance.

Then, a series of people sacrificing their lives one after another began.

I don’t know if it’s because of the disturbance in the imperial city, but since then, the entire [Dongjijing] has become extremely dangerous, including the official residence street and even the residential areas extending to the periphery… etc.

There are many more deadly dangers.

From small things like mechanisms and prohibitions to large things like formations and monsters!

When the danger is the most severe, even the Jindan cultivators will suffer. The last message left by the founder of Shuimo Sect before his death was that he entered the ruins of Dongjijing.

After reading this, Wang Yu had a better understanding of how to obtain the inheritance. Over the years, it was not only the Shui Mo Sect that benefited from it.

It seems that this time the vision will attract even more monks.

A craftsman’s workshop may have the Nascent Soul inheritance.

If the imperial city of Dongjijing is activated, it will be a great opportunity that will affect the entire Chiyuan Demon Realm.

Not to mention the nearby forces and cultivators, even the master of the demonic sect, the [Liantian Demon Sect], will come to fight for it, as this force corresponds to the [Xutian Sword Sect].

The few remaining powerful people in the Spirit Transformation Stage are among these two forces.

“Too dangerous.”

At the end of the intelligence jade slip, there is a summary of the types of monsters, mechanisms, prohibitions, and formations within the ruins, as well as a “relatively safe” route explored by the Ink and Water Sect.

After taking back the spiritual consciousness.

Wang Yu made up his mind not to go!
The ruins of Dongjijing are only a few thousand miles away from Guiling City, which is not far, but the things involved are very important. Sometimes the local snakes cannot defeat the dragons from across the river.

He already had a city in his hands and could use the help of a large chamber of commerce to purchase all the resources he needed, so there was no need to take any more risks.

Sometimes, knowing when to advance and when to retreat and suppressing greed is also the way to progress.

There is no need to hold everything in your hands.

He hasn’t even finished learning all the inheritance he has now, and if he continues to be greedy, he’s afraid he’ll end up in trouble.

Wang Yu takes risks because he can get huge benefits, and he will make all preparations and challenge difficult problems only when he has to do so.

The dangers of Dongjijing are typical of being unnecessary.

Say.

The ancient ruins are there, and no one has emptied the imperial city for countless years. It is obviously impossible this time. When the storm is over, his Guiling City will be right next to it.

You can go whenever you want, so why bother fighting with others?

After thinking it through, Wang Yu no longer cared about these trivial matters. He continued to practice and run his business as if nothing had happened.

A few days later.

Many visitors came.
