Chapter 174: The Formation Master Conference Begins
At this moment, although the monks of the Shangguan family and the guards guarding the city had all left, the monks watching the excitement on both sides of the street had not completely dispersed. Wu Qingyu was afraid that Lin Xia's question just now would attract the ill intentions of other monks, so he hurriedly took Lin Xia and Ling Cang towards their original destination.
Only when we were far away from the street we had just walked on did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief. "Fellow Daoist Lin, the Shangguan family is the king of Qionghua City. Not to mention independent cultivators like me, even the other forces in Qionghua City are nothing but dogs of the Shangguan family. If you still want to live peacefully here and participate in the Formation Master Conference, you'd better not say any more."
Lin Xia knew that she was reckless and understood Wu Qingyu's good intentions. However, she didn't know what was going on just now. It seemed that she was particularly concerned about the forbidden technique mentioned by Shangguan Jingyu, so she asked without thinking.
Even at this moment, Lin Xia didn't know why she behaved like this, but she subconsciously felt that she had to grasp something, as if it was something particularly important.
"Thank you for your kindness, Taoist Wu. I understand." Lin Xia bowed to Wu Qingyu gratefully.
Wu Qingyu obviously had a good impression of Lin Xia. Upon hearing this, the expression on his face became relaxed and he regained his previous enthusiasm. He took Lin Xia and Ling Cang through many twists and turns to the house rental office in Qionghua City.
Along the way, Wu Qingyu kindly introduced the situation of Qionghua City to Lin Xia, and also told Lin Xia which forces he must not offend if he lived here.
When they arrived at the house rental office, Wu Qingyu had nothing to do. He took the spirit stone handed over by the monk at the rental office and smiled at Lin Xia without any embarrassment. After that, he reminded Lin Xia and Ling Cang to take care of themselves, and then said goodbye and left.
Compared to Wu Qingyu, the monk at the house rental office was much more indifferent. He asked Lin Xia about his needs in a businesslike manner and then took out the information of several courtyards for Lin Xia to choose from.
The previous series of events made Lin Xia lose hope for Qionghua City, and she no longer had any good feelings towards the entire Shangguan family. After attending the Formation Master Conference, she would definitely leave Qionghua City, so Lin Xia did not pick and choose, and only chose a small courtyard with three rooms that looked more pleasing to the eye.
This place is not like the Qianyuan Continent. Although the spiritual energy here is richer and the resources for cultivation are more abundant, the spirit stones are less valuable. Just renting a house for three months cost Lin Xia 500 medium-grade spirit stones, which made Lin Xia feel painful. That was 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Even so, the monk from the house rental office still complained that the house Lin Xia rented was too small and not profitable, and that he had wasted a lot of his time.
The attitude became even colder when handling other procedures later. Thinking that less trouble is worse than more, Lin Xia just held Xiaochu on the wrist and Uncle Shu on the shoulder and endured it.
……
In the following days, until the start of the Formation Master Conference, Lin Xia and Ling Cang stayed indoors. Apart from paying attention to the news from the Mission Hall, they stayed in the Qinglin Space to practice.
However, Uncle Rat and Xiaochu often go out for a stroll, sometimes not returning home for several days. I don’t know what they are busy with outside.
Unfortunately, there was no news from the mission hall, so no matter how anxious Lin Xia was, it was all in vain.
Time soon arrived and the day came when the Shangguan family held a formation master conference.
The Formation Master Conference is held at the martial arts training ground in the center of Qionghua City. Private fighting is not allowed in Qionghua City, and this place is usually used as a place for monks to resolve personal grudges.
There are layers of formations arranged around it. Even if two cultivators in the God Transformation Stage fight with all their might inside, it will not cause any impact on other cultivators watching around.
This martial arts arena is very spacious. In addition to the platform in the middle, if the audience seats are included, it can accommodate more than 100,000 cultivators. It is the perfect place for the Shangguan family to hold the Formation Master Conference.
Lin Xia brought her cubs to the vicinity of the martial arts training ground early in the morning. As for Ling Cang, his human form had been fixed after his transformation and could not be changed. He was too lazy to disguise himself. In order not to arouse Shangguan Yanxi's suspicion, he could only stay in the Qinglin space for the time being.
The entire Formation Master Conference will last for three months, during which there will be various activities. As for the Formation Master Competition, it will be held in the last few days.
The first day is the opening ceremony of the Formation Master Conference. As the organizer of the Formation Master Conference, the Shangguan family will have a representative speak.
However, it couldn't be the head of the Shangguan family. At best, it could only be an elder of the Shangguan family.
At this time, the martial arts arena had been almost arranged. In the middle of the venue, there was not only a rostrum for the senior members of the Shangguan family to sit, but also exclusive seats for the formation masters.
When everything was almost ready, Lin Xia and other monks waiting outside were allowed to enter the audience seats and take their seats.
Lin Xia was one of the cultivators who arrived earlier. Luckily, he sat in a front row seat, close to the entire training ground. Even without using his spiritual power, he could clearly see what was happening in the training ground.
In the short time it took for the monks to enter the audience seats, all the monks had already taken their seats in the martial arts arena except for the one in the middle of the rostrum.
As expected, the representative of the Shangguan family who came out to speak was just an elder of the Shangguan family, and not even a core elder.
However, despite this, both the cultivators outside the field and the cultivators inside the field were respectful to this elder, because he was an elder of the Shangguan family and they could not afford to offend him.
Lin Xia sat in the audience, listening to the elder's speech in a disjointed manner. The elder was obviously not a skillful cultivator, and he talked endlessly. Uncle Shu and Xiaochu were drowsy after listening to him, and even Lin Xia lost interest.
After a long time, Lin Xia simply gave up and let all the high-sounding things go in one ear and out the other.
By the time they finally talked about the precautions for this Formation Master Conference and the rules for the subsequent Formation Master Competition, most of the day had already passed.
It was not until mid-afternoon that the elder of the Shangguan family finished his speech with an unfulfilled feeling and returned to the podium.
Lin Xia discovered that the seat in the middle of the podium was still empty.
It was not until this time that the Formation Master Conference truly began.
What will happen next is the lecture session by formation masters from other major forces, and of course the formation master from the Shangguan family will also be included.
At this time, Lin Xia also saw Shangguan Yanxi, Shangguan Jingyu and other younger generations of the Shangguan family who arrived late. Hundreds of people sat calmly in the front row of the audience seats, and they were very eye-catching among the group of independent cultivators and cultivators from other forces.
