  Chapter 462 Searching in the City

   After Li Shangyuan left the crowd in the yard, he came to the alchemy room, ignoring the elixirs being refined.

  He is indeed concocting alchemy, but it is not a four-star, but a three-star. With his current attainments, he can leave people almost all the time except for opening the furnace.

  After he entered the room, he flipped his hands quickly, and a book appeared, and Zhang Deming's figure floated out of the book.

   "Put your hands together, cross your fingers in front of your chest, and pray during the ceremony. This is the way to enter the city of seeking Taoism. Come quickly."

  After a word, Zhang Deming's figure disappeared from the book of sentient beings.

   Li Shangyuan looked at the disappearing phantom, and was slightly silent. Although he has been in the league for half a year, the information given by Zhang Deming makes him no stranger to the league.

  But I have been preparing for a breakthrough before. It can be said that today is the first real contact with the alliance.

   While thinking, he clasped his hands and fingers, and began to recite the incantation silently on his chest.

   Following the activation of the spell, he was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had changed his world.

   At some point, he was already in a small courtyard in a mortal city, surrounded by various courtyards and alleyways.

  At this moment, Zhang Deming had already stood silently aside, as if he had been waiting for a while, and a mini book of sentient beings floated beside Zhang Deming's shoulder.

   Li Shangyuan looked at his side, there was also a book floating, it seemed that this thing floated out automatically when he came here.

   "Here we come." Zhang Deming looked at him and said calmly.

   "Where is...?" Li Shangyuan asked with some surprise.

   "Didn't I give you information, this is the only city that has recovered from the 12th floor of the five cities in the alliance." Zhang Deming replied.

  While speaking, Zhang Deming pointed at the book of sentient beings, contacted another person, and said, "Where is it, come to Xundao City."

  At this time, a miniature Tonghou's upper body phantom appeared on the sentient beings, and he said in surprise: "The steward is also in Xundao City? I am also in a meeting. Where can we meet?"

   Meeting?

  Zhang Deming paused slightly, and said: "No hurry, I'll go find you! Anyway, you don't have the authority to cross different urban areas!"

  During the speech, Zhang Deming waved his hand and directly turned off the contact with the Book of All Beings.

   Then he turned his head and found that Li Shangyuan was feeling everything around him in surprise. Zhang Deming looked at him and said:

   "Talk to your book of sentient beings to change clothes, and a bunch of public faces will appear. You can choose to change your face. Everyone calls this avatar, which can be used to hide your identity.

  Of course, you can also directly use your real identity without hiding it.

  Let's go, I called you here to take you to meet some people, and to explain something to you by the way. "During Zhang Deming's words, he had already stepped out of the courtyard.

   Li Shangyuan heard the words, operated twice, and immediately followed Zhang Deming out of the yard.

  After leaving the yard, they found that they were in a street at the moment, and the surroundings were very deserted. It seemed that there were only two of them.

   "In Xundao City, each urban area corresponds to some Hongmeng regions.

  When you log in, that is, when you enter, you will be assigned to the area you are in, and a landing yard will be planned according to the faction you belong to.

  Of course, if you don’t join any first floor of the alliance, then you will live in the same courtyard with the surrounding people according to the area.

  Our Tianji District is a covert alliance, and many members do not know that they belong to the alliance. For example, the Whisperer Gathering is now considered a subordinate force of the alliance.

  So there are not many people in the urban area where the Tianji District belongs. If you do well in the future, you can try to improve this urban area. "

   Seems to understand what Li Shangyuan is thinking, Zhang Deming said as he walked forward.

  The two walked forward in silence for a while, and Li Shangyuan suddenly felt a noise. When they entered another urban area and entered a small square, they found many people setting up stalls, but the goods looked a little illusory.

   And they are not very popular, but they are some information exchange points, very popular.

  The scene was once lively, but the cultivation base was too good. Most of Yishui's apprentices were junior apprentices who had only just found Qi Sen, and most of them were ordinary mortals.

  The only thing that is a bit discordant is that the so-called face-changing avatar has only a few hundred ordinary faces, and it is extremely easy to bump into faces when so many people use it.

   "This is the disciples introduced in this area after Xundao City revived, and the longest practice is only one year." Zhang Deming looked at the stalls and said slightly astonished.

   Li Shangyuan frowned slightly, and asked: "If I'm not wrong, we are this strange city that we have entered into consciousness, how to complete the physical transaction?"

  Zhang Deming smiled and said: "Because the alliance has the benefit of opening free cargo lanes once a month, even if there is no business alliance, it can be opened.

  After the deal is finalized here, go out and use the ceremony to open the cargo lane, but the deal can be completed.

  However, the free delivery once a month is a bit precious to these people, so this is the reason why such physical transactions are not very popular.

  I didn't expect that, because of this, there would be a stall area in Xundao City. When there are many people, there are really many ideas. "

   Li Shangyuan followed Zhang Deming and watched silently. He found that there were a lot of people in this urban area. Although they were all junior disciples, they could catch up with all the junior disciples who came to the door.

   Is this really a place that has only been revived for a year?

   "Bringing you here today is to show you the city and give you permission to cross this area. When you are free later, choose a few people to take with you.

   It is not necessary to be a disciple to train, but if you are alone, it will be difficult to hold a party at that time, and there will definitely be insufficient manpower.

  If it's all Tong Xuexing's people, you can't do all the inconvenient private transactions by yourself. " Zhang Deming said.

   Li Shangyuan looked at the crowd around him, and said in amazement: "All these people have no martial art?"

   "Well, most of them don't have any at present, and they are all led by the alliance. Very few people have good luck this year and entered some small sects, so it may not be the case in the future." Zhang Deming replied.

  At this time, the two of them had already arrived at a main street in this urban area, which seemed unusually prosperous, at least the popularity was good.

   The two stopped in front of a large courtyard, and Li Shangyuan looked at the plaque in the courtyard: 'Tianling District Headquarters'.

  Zhang Deming came here and gently knocked on the door.

   After a while, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man who looked at Zhang Deming and asked doubtfully, "Are you...?"

  Zhang Deming looked at Qian Xiaogong in front of him, he was a little stunned, he hadn't seen him for several years, the milk baby at the time has really grown into a handsome boy!

   With a face that is more beautiful than a woman's, his mother really knows how to raise a baby!

  Looking at Qian Xiaogong, he realized that so many years had passed before he knew it.

   "Manager Li!" Without waiting for Zhang Deming to reply, Tonghou's surprised voice sounded from behind Qian Xiaogong, and immediately saluted Zhang Deming, saying, "Please, Manager."

  Hearing this, Qian Xiaogong's eyes flashed, obviously he had heard Tong Hou say about Zhang Deming.

  Four people entered the gate. This courtyard is very large, and it looks a bit like an ancient royal courtyard. At this moment, there are many people in the large courtyard.

  Li Shifan was sitting on a balcony in front of a main hall, with his back against a pillar, one foot bent, and the other hanging from the balcony, shaking gently.

  A picture scroll was floating beside him, and a book was floating on the other side, and he communicated with the picture scroll on his own.

  And above his head, on the roof of the main hall, Pei Xiaoxiao sat silently on the roof, with a bit of aloofness in his stupid cuteness.

  There was a special round table in the courtyard, which seemed to be the place for meetings. Qu Qingxian sat there quietly with an indifferent face.

  It is him who has changed his temperament the most over the years, his whole body is gloomy and cold, and he looks like he should not get close to strangers.

  In the corner of the yard, near the wall, there was a pond. Nangong Cheng stood quietly by the pond, lost in thought.

  Not far from the pond, there is a small round table where Feng Mingyou quietly sips illusory tea, full of style and beauty alone.

  ······

   Zhang Deming looked around and found that seven of the nine members of the Tianling Council had already arrived.

  Excluding Zhang Deming and his trumpet, there were originally ten people. One died during the disaster of heaven and spirits, and another was banned by the Venerable, so there are only eight left.

  Now the seven of them are all waiting for someone, obviously waiting for that guy Qin Shizhong!

  Looking at the big round table in the courtyard, Zhang Deming probably understood what kind of meeting they had without checking the information.

  These guys don’t have permission to hold meetings in the Zhongsheng Building. After the Xundao City opened, they found that they were all logged in to the headquarters, and turned it into a meeting place for exchanges. Over the past year, it has become somewhat regular.

  Zhang Deming brought Li Shangyuan in, attracting the attention of the other five people in the courtyard.

   Turned around one by one, and gathered towards the round table in the courtyard.

   "Let me introduce to you, this is Li Zhengkun Li Guanshi from Tianji District. His forging skills are extremely good. Our Zhang Guanshi often asks for things." Tong Hou introduced enthusiastically.

   "Meet the steward!"

   "Hello, Manager Li!"

  “······”

   Several people greeted each other with different expressions, and looked at Zhang Deming and Li Shangyuan curiously.

  Like them, Zhang Deming didn't hide his face, he looked at them with a smile and said, "Is this the new district created by that guy Zhang Wu?

   It's only a little more than nine years, less than ten years, but it's like that! Especially the popularity of low-level disciples is much better than mine.

   Tsk tsk, this open development seems to be much better than the hidden development! "

   Several people silently glanced at Zhang Deming, didn’t answer, and didn’t know how to answer. After all, among them, only Qu Qingxian was a two-star yellow star, and he was still far away from being a manager in Samsung’s new district!

   "Why did Guanshi Li come here suddenly today?" Seeing this, Tong Hou changed the subject directly.

  Zhang Deming pointed behind him, and said: "This is the main alchemist in our Tianji District, he is almost six stars!"

  Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

  Six-star alchemist?

   Isn't it at least the Five Elements Overhaul?

   At this time, Li Shangyuan also removed some ghost avatar, because he found that none of these people were useful.

   "It turned out that Senior Li Shangyuan was in person. I didn't expect that Senior is also a member of my alliance. I am really disrespectful!"

  As the strongest alchemist in Herring City and the most popular celebrity in Herring City, Tong Hou obviously knows him.

   "Do you know the old man?" Li Shangyuan looked at Tong Hou suspiciously, confirming that he did not know him.

   "The younger generation opened a store on Qingyu 3rd Street. The younger generation has heard of the name of the senior, especially in the past few days, it is even more popular." Tong Hou smiled.

   "So that's the case, I thought that this place is full of people from other places." Li Shangyuan replied.

   "This place is indeed full of people from the Tianlingmen area, but for some reason, the younger generation just opened a shop on Qingyu 3rd Street." Tong Hou explained.

   Li Shangyuan nodded and did not continue the chat.

   "Are you moving the gathering in Zhongshenglou to Xundao City?" Zhang Deming looked at the crowd and asked.

   "It made the manager laugh, because we didn't have permission to enter the building of sentient beings, so we fiddled with it. The main reason is that everyone's identities are familiar, and there is no need to hide anything.

  After Xun Dao City opened, they happened to get together and occasionally exchange some information or goods. This way, it is much better than the exchange of the book of sentient beings. "Tong Hou explained.

  ‘Yes, it’s a direct transition from video communication to fully virtual immersive communication! '

   "Manager Li came to our Tianling headquarters, but what's the matter?" Tong Hou asked.

   "Oh, the main reason is that I have something to do recently, and I need to hand over some things to Senior Brother Qi Yun. And our district uses a completely secret nature.

  So it is not suitable for recruiting help, so I will bring him to your district to recruit some newcomers. By the way, let's get to know you a few of you, so that we can communicate with you in the future. " Zhang Deming said.

   "Can we communicate across regions now?" Pei Xiaoxiao was the first to grasp a key point.

  Zhang Deming shook his head and said: "No, neither the Xundao City nor the Book of All Beings, but each steward can cross regions, even the stewards with temporary authority."

   "If that's the case, does Guanshi Li want to attend the party together? Brother Qin should be here soon, after all, it's time for the party!" Tong Hou asked.

   "I'll forget it, I'm busy today, and there are some people at home." Zhang Deming replied.

  Hearing this, Li Shangyuan immediately looked at Zhang Deming and said, "I need..."

   Zhang Deming didn't wait for Li Shangyuan to ask, he interrupted the other party's words: "Brother Qiyun, don't worry, he just asked me to go home and report, after all, it's been a while.

  You should get acquainted with them today, it will be good for you to be in charge of the Whisperer Gathering later.

   You can also find this Jiqi if you have something to do, he should be able to help a lot. If you don't want to owe favors or anything, just refine some elixir and sell it to him. "

  Tong Hou heard the words, his face was full of joy, you must know that this is an alchemist who is about to be promoted to six stars, and there are no shopkeepers in Herring City who are eager to curry favor.

   Li Shangyuan understood what Zhang Deming meant. Zhang Deming probably meant to lead him into the circle of the alliance and let him contact some people.

  Of course, this gathering circle was an accident, he nodded and said, "I understand."

   "That's how it is. You talk to them, and then you can recruit people yourself, or ask them to help you find them. It's up to you. I still have people waiting over there, so I won't stay." Zhang Deming said.

   "Be careful when you go home, it's nothing to the high-level, but we low-level disciples, there are some things..." Li Shangyuan didn't go on, pointing here is enough.

  Zhang Deming nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not a kid who doesn't know anything."

  After speaking, Zhang Deming and Li Shifan said goodbye one by one and disappeared into the courtyard.

  In an instant, the yard fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After all, knowing clearly that in front of him is a master of the Five Elements, none of them are easy-going.

   Li Shangyuan didn't know everyone's cultivation level, so he thought he was a stranger.

   "What's the matter today, well, this is..." Qin Shizhong's voice sounded in embarrassment.

  ······

  Zhang Deming handed over the meeting of the Whisperers to Li Shangyuan. With the resources of hundreds of thousands of elementary disciples in Xundao City and his own instructions, this guy should be able to handle it.

   Even relying on his contacts in the Neptune circle over the years, maybe he can make the Tianji District very well.

  Zhang Deming got up slowly, and it was already dark. Although it didn't affect monks like them, Zhang Deming didn't plan to set off overnight.

  Therefore, after putting away all the few things in the cave, Zhang Deming got up and left the yard.

  It wasn't long at this moment, so the three of them were drinking tea in the courtyard, chatting with each other.

   "It's packed? Then let's go!" Seeing Zhang Deming coming out, Li Zhengxin got up and said immediately.

  Zhang Deming shook his head, and said: "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, don't be in a hurry, you can rest in the next few rooms, and of course you can also practice overnight."

  After speaking, Zhang Deming re-entered the room.

  The three of them approached each other face to face, Wen Huaqin said, "What does he mean?"

  Lou Zhenping spread his hands and said: "What else can you do, just hold it. But with so much fame, you can carry it. Maybe you can get a good job when you go back.

   After all, the task of picking up people this time was obviously sent by someone from the Li family, and someone obviously took a fancy to it. "

  Li Zhengxin didn't speak. He looked at the door of Zhang Deming's disappearance for a long time, then turned and entered a wing room.

   "What's wrong with him?" Wen Huaqin asked.

   "I guess I was stimulated. Originally, they were all offshoots of the Li family outside the 18th generation. Before the two of them lived together all day long, that's all!

   Now this Li Zhengkun hasn't seen him for five years, and after he reappeared, he suddenly became like this. Putting my words aside, I'm going to grit my teeth anyway. " Lou Zhenping replied.

  While speaking, the two just sipped tea and chatted without any sign of entering the house.

   After tasting tea for a while, Wen Huaqin suddenly said: "Why don't we go to the courtyard next door to have a look, there were quite a few people who came to see it just now, after all, we are also considered the same family?"

  Lou Zhenping glanced at Wen Huaqin, and said, "It's okay to go there, but it's probably useless to seek relationships. I've read the information about Master Li Shangyuan's uncle."

  After speaking, the two got up and headed towards Li Shangyuan's yard.

  ······

  Early the next morning, Zhang Deming retreated the cave, and then flew towards Quanqing Temple with the three of them.

  Quanqingguan, also known as Quanqing Dongtian, is one of the nine great caves in Hongmeng.

  The banner is in charge of six upper sects, all of which are inextricably linked with Quanqing Temple, and all belong to the Taoist branch.

  Each door-to-door banner has more than a dozen state capitals, and some even have more than 20 state capitals, so the jurisdiction area is quite broad.
