Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

"What should we do now? Why don't we go to Zhijin Tower first... Hmm, this is a little inappropriate."

As Venerable Xuan Feng said this, he first opposed his own idea.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit inappropriate. Let's not talk about whether your benefactor is available if you come here rashly. Just considering that we meet again after thousands of years, and the person you meet is Xi Shi who has done you a favor, you should prepare a gift."

Venerable Xuanfeng quickly thanked him: "It was my negligence, thank you for reminding me."

"That's fine... In my opinion, we should first prepare a place to stay here before considering other things."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, fellow Taoist."

Let’s not talk about the etiquette issues mentioned above for now.

Just talking about the two of them, both of them have reached the Return to Void stage of cultivation. When they went to visit the benefactor of Venerable Xuanfeng in the past, the other party would have given them a warm reception based only on their cultivation level, regardless of their identity or background.

It is only natural to prepare a place for them to live.

However, this time the two came here for other purposes and tasks, and it was really inconvenient for them to live in the residence prepared for them in Zhijin Tower.

Moreover, this will also make them be labeled as Zhijinlou, which may hinder their other actions in the future.

Zhou Ming had learned from Rat that the combined forces in Beijie City were harmonious on the surface, but secretly they were actually plotting against each other.

If you accidentally run into the enemy of Zhijin Tower, you will be in trouble.

Of course, in reality no force would be so stupid and obvious.

With the strength of the two people at the Return to Void realm, no matter which force in the city, they would treat them as guests of honor.

No one would choose to do that stupid thing.

Even if they knew the relationship between Venerable Xuan Feng and that benefactor, it would be the same.

In the long years, there are gains and losses, and interests are eternal, while feelings are ultimately only temporary.

Not to mention the fragile relationship between Venerable Xuan Feng and her benefactor, even if her benefactor and her good friend had been friends for who knows how many years, in the end, they would just say goodbye.

It's not just these two.

When the two forces were interacting in a friendly manner, this was not the only example of establishing friendly relations with the other side.

However, the past is the past and the present is the present. Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion have now broken up.

Among these many monks, except for the middle and lower level ones who were unaware of the situation, the high-level ones have basically all changed their attitudes and ideas.

You know, they are high-level people.

In essence, they can decide the development direction of the entire Zhijinlou and various core decisions by themselves.

But it still remains the same.

It can be seen that the current conflict between the two sides should be between Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion, which has caused some relatively basic conflicts over the route of force advancement.

This kind of fundamental contradiction cannot be avoided at all.

It's like two speeding trains, seemingly moving side by side, but the angles of their movement are very subtle.

After the two sides ran side by side for a long time, they realized that the two trains were not running on parallel lines, but on an intersecting line that would collide with each other.

It's just that the angle is so weird and they look too much like parallel lines, which leads to this misunderstanding.

But at this point, the two running trains could not stop, and it was impossible to stop them.

Because that would mean stopping development.

Obviously neither side wants this.

Hence, conflicts break out.

Every senior leader of both forces represents not only himself, but also a group of people centered around himself and countless monks.

No one will avoid it.

Conflict is completely unavoidable for the benefit of everyone.

As outsiders, Zhou Ming and Venerable Xuan Feng should try their best to remain neutral.

Otherwise, under such a premise, no matter which side you get close to, you will be deliberately targeted by the other side.

This is not just about the relationship between Zhijin Tower and Yueshang Pavilion, but also about the relationship between all other combined forces.

After all, one of the purposes of their coming here, and one of the most important purposes, is to seek development.

But the so-called development, what exactly it is and what direction it is heading in is really very vague. Even the two of them at the moment have no idea about it.

It mainly depends on whether you can find your own opportunity in this huge city.

Neither of them knew whether the opportunity they would eventually find would require them to deal with a combined force.

Therefore, the two of them cannot have too clear marks of belonging to a certain force.

Otherwise, no one knows whether there will be bigger troubles in the future.

Even Venerable Xuanfeng.

Although she was very grateful to the benefactor, if she found an opportunity at that time, she would need to cooperate with Yueshang Pavilion.

Then, for the future of Jiulong Mountain, Venerable Xuanfeng would most likely not care about the matters between himself and Zhijin Tower.

Not ungrateful.

In fact, the future and destiny of the entire Jiulong Mountain is tied to her.

She can't be willful!

Just like the Zhijin Tower now.

If they don't submit petitions, of course many people don't want to see themselves falling out with another combined force.

But as the future of the entire force is on their shoulders, this is what they must do.

Personal feelings and wishes have long been overwhelmed by the entire force and cannot be changed.

The only way to change this is to be smashed to pieces by the entire train.

Or a new train track may suddenly appear, and one or more trains may be temporarily sent to the new track.

This will naturally avoid the outbreak of conflict.

The truly top-notch residence in Beijie City is still on the Venerable Mountain.

However, although the Venerable Mountain is good, the purchase conditions are too harsh and many forces cannot meet them.

On the contrary, the inner-city land, which has basically no high purchasing conditions and is something that people can actually touch and feel, is very competitive.

Every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.

But that refers to ordinary Jindan and Yuanying cultivators.

If it were someone like Zhou Ming who had reached the state of returning to the void, it would be too easy.

The head manager of the agency came out in person to introduce the two people.

If it weren't for the fact that the purchase of the right to reside in the inner city land still requires certain conditions, the two of them would not be able to buy a place to live at the moment and could only rent it. The butler really wanted to give them a property directly.

Because the forces behind these intermediary venues will also be involved in some real estate developments.

If a Return to Void cultivator could live in the real estate areas they developed, it would be the best living advertisement.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the butler adopts such an attitude.

It’s a pity that the two newcomers can only rent a place.

Even so, the butler still thoughtfully selected a large garden with beautiful scenery for the two of them.

Entrust two people to experience it.

What is experience?

It is to try out what it feels like to live here and give them some suggestions so that they can make corrections in the future.

In order to thank the two, the butler took the initiative to pay for the experience to show his sincerity.

Seeing that he was sincere and that they really couldn't buy the property, the two of them thought that the best option at the moment was to accept the experience fee and experience what it was like to live in the garden.
