Cultivation of immortality: Start by looking at other people’s opportunities

Arrive at Qinglong County.

Many monks who went on the expedition have gathered here. They are either from the Tang family of the imperial family.

Or they are the children of the four major cultivating families, all of whom are of distinguished status.

Rumors.

When the Tianwu Empire was founded, the forces here were as complicated as a piece of loose sand.

Tang Tianwu, the founder of the country, first conquered these four major families with his extraordinary strength.

It was with his assistance that the empire was unified.

For this reason, Tang Tianwu promised many privileges to the four major families.

This kind of qualification for exploring the secret realm left over from the war between immortals and demons is one of them, and no family other than the four clans will be allowed to participate in it.

These four major families are: the Long family of Qinglong County, the Ji family of Baihu County, the Nangong family of Zhuque County, and the Murong family of Xuanwu County, which has been in decline for many years.

If it weren't for this secret adventure, Xu Fan wouldn't have known that there was such a family in Xuanwu County.

His reputation is so small that he is rarely mentioned.

Of the quota of four people from each clan in this secret realm adventure, only one member of the Murong family was left, and the rest were used in exchange for benefits.

It was precisely because the Long family saw the Murong family's downfall that they spared no effort to cultivate geniuses.

Arrive at the square in the center of the county town.

The unattractive Xu Fan failed to attract anyone's attention.

More young heroes gathered around several members of the imperial royal family.

From the flattering smile on his face, it is not difficult to see his intention to serve the powerful.

As time went by, a large amount of resources were highly concentrated in the hands of the imperial royal family, and the Tang family became increasingly powerful.

It has become an existence that is far beyond the comparison of the four major families.

Only those who can become close to them can reuse them and obtain more resources.

Among the members of the royal family, the most popular one is the prince named Tang Jingxuan.

This man, like the Thirteenth Prince Tang Jingyan, is the son of the current emperor.

just.

His biological mother was only a noble concubine, and her status was not as good as Tang Jingyan's mother.

however.

Looking at his mirror image, Xu Fan was shocked to find that the other party succeeded in ascending to the throne with the support of many forces and became the current prince.

Because he was interested in his alchemy skills, after this person failed to win over him, he was worried that he would be approached by other princes.

Then they secretly sent masters from the Purple Mansion Realm to surround and kill Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was seriously injured.

Besides.

From everyone's conversations, Xu Fan also heard rumors that Tang Jingyan's brother, the prince, had died tragically of some strange disease not long ago.

Because something strange happened, the emperor did not rush to establish a new prince in order to prevent the princes from fighting each other.

even so.

When Xu Fan looked at Tang Jingyan's mirror image, he found that he also suffered from a serious illness and died tragically when he was about to be established as the prince five years later.

Unfortunately.

Xu Fan didn't notice anything strange, so he ignored it.

now.

Just when Xu Fan wanted to find a secluded place and wait for the flying boat dispatched by the empire to send the group there.

Sudden.

A very discordant voice came from the crowd, but it was called by his first name.

"Hey, isn't this the Lu Renjia Alchemist from Hangu City?"

"Why are you here alone? There are so many young heroes here, and you don't recognize any of them?"

"I wonder which famous family you come from, and what do your ancestors do?"

"If you tell me, you might be able to find some people who have connections with you. In this way, after entering the secret realm, you won't have to be alone and be hunted down by enemy monks."

"I remember that our Long family has an affiliated family named Lu. Maybe they are the same family as you."

"Haha..." As soon as he said this, the whole room burst into laughter. "It turns out he is a slave."

Turn around and look.

A middle-aged man wearing Long family clothes was walking towards Xu Fan teasingly.

This person is Long Xingyun!

The two had previously competed in an elixir battle in Xuanwu City, but the other party was defeated by Xu Fan.

The pavilion master of Longdan Pavilion named Long Xingtian is this man's brother.

At this time.

A handsome man behind him scolded:

"Xingyun, don't be irrational!"

"I have admired this Alchemist Lu for a long time, and it is such an honor to meet him today!"

"I, Long Taiyi, if you don't mind Alchemy Master Xu, you can come and sit here. I will introduce you to a few friends. His Highness the Third Prince happens to be here too!"

"When the time comes to enter the secret realm, we can go together and avoid being harassed by people from the Canglang Empire!"

"As for the festivals between you and the Long family, don't take it to heart at all. The Long family can afford it and let it go, and they won't be so stingy!"

A gentle voice came, very decent.

Not as arrogant as Long Xingyun at all.

While talking.

This person also gave up the throne to the third prince Tang Jingxuan, looking like he was well versed in the world.

If he hadn't seen the previous mirror image, Xu Fan might have really thought that the other party was a humble gentleman.

"Not interested in!"

After replying casually, Xu Fan turned around and left, completely ignoring what these people meant.

but.

This casual remark was like poking a hornet's nest, and it immediately attracted criticism from many people.

"Where did you come from, you are a country bumpkin? You really don't know how to praise me!"

"Who is present here who is not much more noble than you? His Highness the Third Prince is here, why don't you come and pay homage!"

"Do you really think that with some talent in alchemy, you can be arrogant?"

……

In this regard.

Xu Fan just treated it as fart and turned a deaf ear.

But he secretly planned in his heart that after entering the secret realm, he must get rid of these barkers.

however.

Just when Xu Fan ignored these insults and wanted to find a secluded place.

Not far away, another familiar voice came, but it attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Alchemist Lu, long time no see, please come and sit down with Ruoxue!"

"When we enter the secret realm, I will pester you as a follower!"

"Otherwise, with my three-legged cat skills, I may not be able to come out alive!"

The speaker was none other than Ji Ruoxue.

See this.

Xu Fan couldn't help being slightly surprised.

Apart from her talent in alchemy, Ji Ruoxue's cultivation in Qi refining was mediocre.

The other party is the only daughter of the White Tiger County Princess and the granddaughter of the head of the Ji family. Logically speaking, she should not participate in such a dangerous adventure.

after all.

The other party is not as advanced as Tang Jingxuan, so he still needs to use this method to gild, and take the opportunity to attack the position of crown prince!

After combing through his mirror image, Xu Fan discovered that the other party actually heard that he was going to participate in the expedition, so he made an impromptu decision and got the quota from a clan despite his parents' objections.

"You have nothing to do, why do you come to a place like this to join in the fun!"

"The secret realm is not the place you should go. Listen to my advice and go back!"

"I wouldn't bring a tow bottle."

Xu Fan said in a deep voice.

Hear the words.

Ji Ruoxue was not angry, she just stuck out her tongue angrily.

At that moment, she brought three masters from her clan to Xu Fan's side. It seemed like she was clinging to Xu Fan, but in fact she was trying to support him.

because.

These three Ji family masters all have Yuanying realm cultivation, and their strength is not weaker than Long Taiyi.

Obviously.

In order to protect this precious granddaughter, his grandfather, who was the leader of the clan, specially selected the bravest and most fighting clan members to go with him.
