Chapter 327: The Great Clans Unite to Search for Treasures Again
A big event happened in Luohe City. It was rumored that the thirteen major families in the city suddenly announced that they would gather heroes from all over the world and hold a banquet.
Just the day after the news was released, the arrangement of the banquet was put on the agenda in full swing. With huge financial support, all the preliminary matters were arranged within three days.
Countless people from the martial arts world came to the banquet venue, and it was very lively. Based on the principle of freeloading whenever there was a meal, Li Changxiao would naturally not miss it. He got acquainted with several of the martial arts world guests, and they rushed to the banquet together. However, when the food was served on the table, his purpose of freeloading was exposed, and the martial arts world guests at the same table looked at him, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes, as if they were ashamed to be associated with him.
It's not that Li Changxiao's eating manners were ungentlemanly, like a starving ghost. In fact, although he ate fast, his appearance was quite good and it was fun to watch him eat. It was just that he didn't follow the rules. Everyone present was a famous master. When they sat together, they should have greeted each other by name, ranked their seniority, and toasted each other with wine... After going through the whole process, they could eat.
But Li Changxiao didn't care about all that. He sat down, smiled kindly at everyone, and then ate with great relish.
It is rare to see such a gathering of masters, so naturally many people try their best to expand their network.
Some people hold wine poison and seek out experienced and genuine veterans to drink from, while some young men try to strike up a conversation with female knights.
Just like this, the lively and bustling atmosphere continues.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the people from the ten major families finally started to talk business.
After listening to this, Li Changxiao showed a look of understanding, and a smile inexplicably appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that this banquet was held to call on the talented people in the martial arts world to enter the Endless Forest to search for treasures.
It was a certain important person who wanted to recover the treasures that were hidden in there before, but he was unwilling to go in person. There were many strange diseases in there, so this banquet was held.
If any wanderer is willing to go, he can get twenty taels of silver and a map of the Endless Forest by nodding. After coming out, he can get another ten taels of silver.
It's just like throwing money around, but the rich man behind him has the most money.
The most important thing is that if you can successfully find the items that the big man wants, you can get a box of "longevity pollen" and a "white jade longevity fruit".
This is what all the people in the world covet the most, enough to make anyone flock to it!
"The Way of Self-Sacrifice - Corpse Man, Zhang Queni, will definitely go all out!"
"Sacrifice yourself - Sick soldier, Liu Qing, I will do my best!"
"The Way of Opening the Acupoints - Warriors..."
……
In the banquet hall, countless martial artists stood up and spoke loudly.
Li Changxiao was very familiar with what the big shot was looking for: two golden fish.
Li Changxiao smiled silently. It seemed that the rich man behind the scenes was destined to fail this time.
He once found five goldfish in the Endless Forest. Two of them were so powerful that they were about to transform into dragons, and the other three were slightly smaller.
At that time, it was judged that a powerful person took advantage of the dangerous situation and blessings of this place to raise two golden black fish. Later, the two golden black fish gave birth to three small fish, a total of five fish.
The speculation at that time and what we heard today perfectly matched each other, so it is not difficult to guess that the rich man behind the scenes was the original owner of the five goldfish.
Li Changxiao couldn't help but think of Su Qingmei, the lord of the Fuyao Holy Land.
If he guessed correctly, she was probably the only one who could mobilize the Luohecheng family at the same time.
Unexpectedly, the golden black fish was hers.
Li Changxiao speculated that Su Qingmei probably saw that the Reform Dao was popular nowadays and that the Open Acupoints Dao could exert a good combat effectiveness. The goldfish swam in the human body's meridians, transported qi and blood, and opened the acupoints, which was of great benefit to this Dao. And because of the Green Domain incident, she passed by here and wanted to take it back.
The golden black fish is indeed extremely beneficial for the way of opening the acupoints. Li Changxiao is a concrete example. He has not practiced the way of opening the acupoints much, but he is already at the forefront.
However, it was precisely because of this that he vaguely touched the barrier to the path of enlightenment.
Thoughts flashed through my mind.
Li Changxiao actually didn't have any feelings for Su Qingmei. From a quick glance that day, he knew that she was a cold and very selfish woman.
Of course, he couldn't come to this conclusion based on just one glance, so he also considered previous rumors.
So he didn't mind and took advantage of the situation.
So, he signed up for the adventure team. After the interview, he received ten taels of silver and a map of part of the Endless Forest, which even marked the topography, potential dangers, possible adventures, treasures, etc.
Very detailed.
Before the spiritual energy of this map was exhausted, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a priceless treasure.
But now, it has been painted in hundreds and thousands of pictures, and every traveler present holds one in their hands.
In the southwest corner of the map, there is a big red circle.
The approximate range of the golden black fish is there.
In fact, Li Changxiao also has a map in his hand, which was exchanged from Xiao Yuan, but it is far less detailed than this one. The key of the Xiao family map is to mark the location of the "Fuhua Divine Tree" and the safe route, and this map is several times larger. If he guessed correctly, it should have integrated the intelligence of dozens of families.
Before the spiritual energy dried up, the hundreds of families in the Red Domain regarded the Endless Forest as a treasure land for cultivation. They marked out certain areas in the forest and hid their treasures.
In fact, the dozens of major families that hosted the banquet also took this opportunity, under the witness of Su Qingmei, to unite and regain some of their ancestral heritage.
If any talented person in the world can retrieve the treasure of his family, he will also be rewarded greatly.
There will definitely be plenty of gold, silver and treasures. If they are extremely precious, they can also be exchanged for things that can prolong one’s life!
This way.
This banquet turned into a treasure hunt.
Li Changxiao looked at the map with a slight smile on his face. The Endless Forest heritage of dozens of major families was almost all on it.
If Su Qingmei didn’t come here.
He might not be able to encounter such a good thing. It is certainly impossible for the families in Luohe City to unite so easily.
……
The next day.
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the sky is clear.
A large group of martial artists, life-extending practitioners... entered the Endless Forest.
And after everyone entered.
Su Qingmei, who was wearing a red dress, also came to the entrance of the Endless Forest.
Behind her, there were more than ten men, all of whom were top-notch warriors who seldom showed up. However, at this moment, they all subconsciously bent their waists behind her, with expressions of respect on their faces.
The group looked out at the Endless Forest.
Su Qingmei waved her hand lightly, and several family heads behind her built a shed in the back.
Su Qingmei did this for another purpose besides the "Golden Mysterious Fish".
That is the study of "strange diseases".
She allowed people to enter the Endless Forest, and most of them would be infected with strange diseases. By then, she would circle them together for observation and research, and perhaps she would be able to gain a lot.
"Sacrifice"
"Opening the mind"
Su Qingmei murmured.
As a powerful person at the forefront of the reform, she can see farther than ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that she has a sense of worry that ordinary people do not have.
Although the reform is now a time of prosperity.
Even a mortal can live for hundreds of years through various means.
But Su Qingmei knew.
Up to now, apart from the path of practicing Taoism, the human race has still not found a way to true longevity.
All the current reforms can only be described as "a way to prolong life."
The reason why she studies "strange diseases" is very simple.
Some time ago.
She went to the Holy Land of Fuyao, intending to retrieve some of her former possessions, but she met a disciple with a boil on his head.
When the disciple saw her, he immediately ran over and invited her to join the "Shen Zong" to promote the Shen Zong and achieve eternal life together.
Seeing that the disciple was no longer conscious, she did not kill him but let him go. Under his guidance, she came to the depths of a mountain.
There is a village there, and the village chief is the leader of the Divine Sect. His cultivation level is around the Divine Transformation Realm, and his back is covered with pockmarks.
Everyone in this village looks horrible and has strange appearances. Some have bulging abdomens, some have red hair growing on their arms, and some have blisters on their faces, which grow back immediately after they are squeezed.
Su Qingmei saw it all, and what surprised her most was that there were many disciples among them that she recognized.
She is the master of the holy land and has always attached great importance to new disciples.
Especially those with good qualifications.
However, those people who were once born with visions and seemed to be favored by heaven have now become like this.
There is another point that Su Qingmei cannot ignore.
She vaguely remembered that several disciples had only reached the Jindan stage of cultivation. Logically, they should not have lived to this day. Even if they were lucky enough to survive to this day, they would certainly be very old.
However, not only did those disciples not do that, they were full of energy.
Apart from the fact that he was growing strange, he did not show any signs of aging, and even did some taboo things in front of her...
Su Qingmei frowned at that time, and the whole village was destroyed when she raised her hand.
However, when I think about it afterwards, I feel a little regretful.
After returning home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She noticed the profession of "sick doctor" and associated it with strange diseases.
I happened to pass by this place, so... I thought of retrieving the golden fish and studying the strange disease at the same time.
