Chapter 1014: Rejection

Liao Zhengyi said: "However, it is a late-stage god-king figure like Daoyou Li. Once Tianyang City comes to live in Liuyang Immortal Garden, the city lord's palace will definitely know about it. Why don't you see the city lord's palace recruiting you Daoyou Li?"

Wu Tao heard this and said: "As early as when Liuyang Immortal Garden helped Li go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for the Sky Control Token, the deputy city lord of the City Lord's Mansion entrusted the cultivators of Liuyang Immortal Garden to convey to me an invitation to visit the City Lord's Mansion."

"At that time, I was about to practice in seclusion, so I declined temporarily. Now I am out of seclusion. I will choose a date to visit the deputy city lord in the city lord's mansion."

Liao Zhengyi nodded lightly and said: "The deputy city lord of the city lord's mansion is named Cai Chao. He is at the 8th level of god transformation. This person is a bit difficult to get along with. You Daoyou Li must find a time to visit this deputy city lord Cai, so as not to He took a grudge."

"We are casual cultivators. We don't have any power behind us, and our cultivation realm is not as high as that of Tianyang City. We still have to act more or less based on the face of the lord of Tianyang City."

Liao Zhengyi's words revealed that he was a casual cultivator who transformed into a god, and had not joined any of the cultivating forces in Tianyang City. Another key point was that Cai Chao, the deputy city lord of the city lord's palace, was stingy and loved to hold grudges.

Regarding this, Wu Tao didn't care about Cai Chao, he was only on the eighth level of the gods. Previously, he asked the immortal cultivators from Liuyang Immortal Garden to invite him, but he declined. Even if he went to visit the city lord's mansion again, he would only respond to the previous invitation.

Wu Tao has done this polite thing. If Cai Chao relies on his authority as the deputy city lord of the city lord's palace and his cultivation level of the 8th level to suppress him, then Wu Tao will not look good on him.

Therefore, Wu Tao looked at Liao Zhengyi and asked tentatively: "Is Vice City Lord Cai of Tianyang City such a temperament? Then Li refused before, and didn't he offend him? What if Li went to visit and refused to join the City Lord? Mansion? Will Deputy City Lord Cai make things difficult for Li?"

When Liao Zheng heard this, he was not fooled. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li, the many immortal cultivating forces in Tianyang City will not only come to recruit Fellow Daoist Li from the City Lord's Mansion, but some fifth-grade cultivating forces will also come to recruit."

"Then Li will be relieved." Wu Tao continued: "Oh, Daoyou Liao and Li are both casual cultivators. So, Daoyou Liao's cultivation is also a figure recruited by many forces in Tianyang City. Why didn't the city lord's palace ask you Daoyou Liao? Offer an olive branch?”

When Liao Zheng heard Wu Tao's words, he did not answer immediately, but asked: "Fellow Daoist Li, it seems that we, the God-Transforming Lords who were born as casual cultivators, have cultivated to the late stage of Divine Transformation, but what are their goals in the future?"

Wu Tao picked up the spiritual tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "It must be to break through the realm of refining the void."

Liao Zheng nodded heavily, sighed and said: "Yes, we have reached the late stage of spiritual transformation. Naturally, we want to break through the realm of refining the void and increase our life span. However, the main palace of Tianyang City is also used by other immortal cultivating sects to guard Tianyang City. Yes, even if you join the City Lord’s Mansion, it will be extremely difficult to obtain the skills of the Void Refining Realm.”

"For example, our current Lord of Tianyang City, Huangfu City, has been stuck at the level of Divine Transformation for a period of sixty years, and he has not yet obtained a technique for the Void Refining Realm."

"As for the other fifth-level immortal cultivating forces, they will also recruit us. However, among the fifth-level immortal cultivating forces, the strongest ones are only those who have perfected the transformation of gods. Without Lianxu to take over, how can they come up with the Lianxu technique."

"Further up, the sixth-level immortal cultivating force has the Void Cultivation Heavenly Lord sitting in charge. There are not many deity transforming deity monarchs under the sect, unless it is the kind of deity transforming deity monarch who cultivates the four arts of immortality or a genius. Liao is not talented. 1500 years have passed. , If you only cultivate to the 7th level of spirit transformation, you will have a maximum lifespan of 500 years, and there is no hope of practicing. "

Having said this, he looked at Wu Tao, who was only in his early 20s. His hair was all white now. Although it is difficult to accurately judge a person's age by looking at his face when it comes to the realm of spiritual transformation, Wu Tao's energy and energy are still there. He doesn't look old. He must be within a thousand years old. He has cultivated to the 7th level of Shen Transformation within a thousand years. As long as there is a method to practice the void, there is definitely hope for practicing the void.

Therefore, he sighed and said with envy: "Fellow Daoist Li should be young, within a thousand years old. The seventh level of God Transformation within a thousand years is also a top talent among casual cultivators. This talent may have some declining sixth-grade forces." Will come to recruit fellow Daoist Li."

After listening to Liao Zhengyi's words, Wu Tao felt the sadness of Liao Zhengyi as a casual cultivator. Liao Zhengyi said that he was less than a thousand years old. He couldn't tell Liao Zhengyi. He was only over 100 years old, and he still had a long life. For more than 3,000 years, speaking out will separate Liao Zhengyiqi's plagiar wall.

Therefore, Wu Tao said: "Fellow Daoist Liao has a sharp vision. Li will be 1,000 years old in a few years. However, some Taoist friends are late bloomers or have incredible luck. Even if they only have a short period of a hundred years, they can break through to the realm of refining the void. And some are a thousand years old." It may take a thousand years to reach the perfection of spiritual transformation within a short period of time, and it will be difficult to break through to the realm of refining the void.”

"The road to cultivating immortality is not certain. It is always full of ups and downs. Fellow Daoist Liao, don't be discouraged. Maybe, the fate of immortality will come and you will become the king of heaven in one fell swoop."

Finally, Wu Tao did not forget to encourage Liao Zhengyi.

After Liao Zheng heard what Wu Tao said, Wu Tao had a good attitude, which he could indeed understand, but this kind of encouragement could only relieve his anxiety a little. After all, his own family knew about his family affairs.

However, Liao Zhengyi still said: "Thank you fellow Taoist for your encouragement. These situations do happen. But there are very few. I wonder if Liao has such a deep source of blessings that he can change his destiny before his life is about to end."

Later, Wu Tao stopped talking about this heavy topic and moved to other aspects. For example, among the various forces in Tianyang City, according to what Liao Zheng said, there are very few other forces in Tianyang City. In name, Tianyang City belongs to Yunling Sect and Liuyang Sect.

The other sixth-level immortal cultivating forces and fifth-level immortal cultivating forces only conduct commercial activities in Tianyang City.

These immortal cultivating forces do not stick to their own sects and families, but conduct commercial activities in various immortal cultivating cities and circulate with each other.

Therefore, the greater the power, such larger cities of cultivating immortals can see their shops and industries, as well as the infiltration of various cultivating forces.

Tianyang City is only a fifth-level Immortal Cultivation City, and only the seventh-level Immortal Cultivation Forces will come here. However, those who have surpassed the seventh-level and reached the eighth-level Immortal Cultivation City will look down on Tianyang City, and they will go to higher-level Immortal Cultivation City for business activities. .

Wu Tao and Liao Zhengyi chatted happily, like friends they hadn't seen for many years. They sat at Liao Zhengyi's place for an hour and a half before ending their visit.

Although Wu Tao's cave is right next to Liao Zhengyi's Cave No. 17, Liao Zhengyi was very enthusiastic and sent Wu Tao out of the door of his cave and said to Wu Tao: "Friend Li, I will call you in three days, and we will go together." Go to.”

Wu Tao slightly bowed his hand to Liao Zhengyi and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Liao, to lead the way. I also want to get to know this Fellow Daoist Huashen of Tianyang City, Fellow Daoist Liao, and I'll see you in three days."

Wu Tao returned to Cave No. 18, while Liao Zhengyi turned around and returned to Cave No. 17.

After returning to the cave, Wu Tao saw that Chen Yao was already practicing, so he also returned to the practice room.

Recalling what Liao Zhengyi said just now, it seems that it is a bit difficult for casual cultivators to join the sixth-level immortal cultivation forces. Not to mention that Wu Tao wants to join the eighth-level or even ninth-level immortal cultivating forces.

Moreover, the Heavenly Cang Realm also attaches great importance to the four-level immortal cultivators. From this point of view, Wu Tao still has to develop the profession of weapon refiner. If he becomes a sixth-level weapon refiner, he will not be able to join the ninth-level immortal cultivators and the eighth-level immortal cultivators. The first-level immortal cultivating force can also join the seventh-level immortal cultivating force Liuyangmen, and use Liuyangmen as a springboard to enter the Xuyang Sect.

After all, the Liuyang Sect is a subordinate cultivating force of the Xuyang Sect. Using the Liuyang Sect as a springboard, it is relatively easy to achieve the goal of entering the Xuyang Sect.

"I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to visit the Deputy City Lord tomorrow." Wu Tao thought to himself and immediately started practicing.

After practicing on the morning of the second day, Wu Tao told Chen Yao and flew directly out of Cave No. 18 and out of Liuyang Immortal Garden. As for Li Yi, he had not returned to Tianyang City at this time and was still practicing outside.

As for the City Lord's Mansion in Tianyang City, Wu Tao still knew where it was located. He manifested the aura of the 7th level of God Transformation and used his magical escape technique to fly directly in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in the sky above Tianyang City.

During the flight, they encountered several air patrols from the city lord's palace. The members of the Jindan patrol on the airship that the patrol was riding in felt the aura of the God-incarnation Lord on Wu Tao's body and did not stop them.

Although you can only fly in the sky of Tianyang City after the City Lord's Mansion has obtained the Sky Control Token, but for the God of Transformation, the City Lord's Mansion is still relatively relaxed. You can fly first, and then apply for a Sky Control Token. Just the cards.

Wu Tao landed at the special take-off and landing site of the City Lord's Mansion, and then walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The take-off and landing site was very close to the City Lord's Mansion, only seven or eight hundred meters away. Soon we arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. On both sides of the gate were two huge stone lions, guarded by two immortal cultivators.

The two immortal cultivators guarding the City Lord's Mansion also have advanced levels of foundation building.

Feeling Wu Tao's divine aura and walking directly towards the City Lord's Mansion, the two Foundation Establishment and Immortal Cultivation guards immediately bowed to Wu Tao and saluted. One of the Foundation Establishment guards asked: "I don't know if Lord Shenjun is coming to the City Lord's Mansion." What happened?"

As the foundation-building guard of the City Lord's Mansion, I am familiar with some of the God-Transformation Lords in Tianyang City because they go in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, but Wu Tao, the God-Transformation Lord, is very unfamiliar.

Wu Tao directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I'm here to visit Deputy City Lord Cai Chao."

"It turns out that I'm here to visit Deputy City Lord Cai. I'd like to ask Lord Shenjun to wait a moment." The foundation guard immediately took out a communication weapon and began to communicate.

After the interrogation was completed, only a dozen breaths later, a Nascent Soul cultivator appeared. This Nascent Soul cultivator was at the sixth level of Nascent Soul. He came to Wu Tao, bowed respectfully and said, "Senior, I have seen you. , I am the ceremonial officer of Deputy City Lord Cai, my name is Zhu Jun, please come with me, senior."

Wu Tao nodded gently to Zhu Jun and followed Zhu Jun into the city lord's mansion. The city lord's palace was very large, and the avenue inside was also very wide. Zhu Jun led him respectfully from the front, and walked for half an hour before reaching a palace complex.

"This is Deputy City Lord Cai's training area. Senior, please follow me to the waiting room." Zhu Jun said to Wu Tao, and Wu Tao's eyes signaled him to continue leading the way.

Soon, Wu Tao was taken to a waiting room. Zhu Jun asked him to sit on the left side. The upper seat was empty. He was probably waiting for Cai Chao to arrive. Zhu Jun called a female foundation-building cultivator and brought Wu Tao a cup of spiritual tea. Then he bowed to Wu Tao and said, "Excuse me, who is the senior? Why are you here to visit Deputy City Lord Cai?"

Wu Tao glanced at Zhu Jun and said, "You don't know who I am, so you brought me into the city lord's palace?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jun replied respectfully: "Senior is the God-incarnation King. With this level of cultivation alone, he can become a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion. He must be well served. However, Deputy City Lord Cai is also busy on weekdays, so I will go and report to you." , also needs a reason.”

As for the safety issue, Zhu Jun did not say it clearly. He was not afraid of bringing in a late-stage god. The city lord was a perfect god, and the deputy city lord was also at the eighth level of god transformation and was about to break through to the ninth level.

Wu Tao heard this and said: "What you said makes sense, so go here and tell Deputy City Lord Cai that Li Mo from Cave No. 18, District A, Liuyang Xianyuan came to visit him."

"Okay, Li Shenjun, please wait a moment. I will report it to Deputy City Lord Cai." Zhu Jun bowed to Wu Tao again and exited the waiting room.

There was only a Foundation-Establishing female cultivator waiting beside Wu Tao. After finishing the spiritual tea, the Foundation-Establishing female cultivator immediately poured more spiritual tea. She didn't say a word during the whole process, just waiting for Wu Tao's instructions.

Zhu Jun left the waiting room, walked through the corridors, and finally came to the main hall where Cai Chao practiced. After standing at the door of the hall, he said respectfully: "Deputy City Lord Cai, the God of Transformation is here to visit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the main hall opened automatically. Zhu Jun had been Cai Chao's ceremonial officer for hundreds of years and knew Cai Chao's character. He immediately entered the main hall cautiously and saw Cai Chao sitting cross-legged on the futon.

"Which chamber of commerce is the God Transformation Lord?" Cai Chao closed his eyes and asked without even opening his eyes. Recently, the city lord's palace issued some chamber of commerce decrees and plundered the interests of some fifth-grade chambers of commerce in Tianyang City. Therefore, these fifth-grade chambers of commerce Then the God of Transformation came to visit him, hoping to use some back door.

Zhu Jun bowed respectfully and said: "Deputy City Lord Cai is not the God-Transforming Lord of the Tianyang City Chamber of Commerce, but the owner of Cave No. 18 in District A of Liuyang Xianyuan, the Lord Li Mo and Shenjun Li."

"Oh, isn't he in seclusion? He came out of seclusion so quickly!" After hearing this, Cai Chao finally opened his eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Last time I asked Liuyang Xianyuan to bring him Then, he asked the cultivators of Liuyang Immortal Garden to reply and ask for retreat. Since he can still reply, it is obvious that he has not formally retreated. He has not come to attend my appointment. "

"It seems that I, the deputy city lord, cannot get into the eyes of this Lord Li Shen."

"Let's do this. Tell me what I said, saying that I am at a critical moment in my cultivation and ask him to wait for me at the City Lord's Mansion for a few days." Finally, Cai Chao looked at Zhu Jun and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, Deputy City Lord Cai."

Wu Tao drank two cups of spiritual tea in the waiting room. Deputy City Lord Cai was really stingy. The grade of this spiritual tea was actually not as good as the spiritual tea brewed for him by Liao Zhengyi's cave.

In the past, Wu Tao would not just drink tea anywhere else, but now he has reached the realm of the Transformation God. The spiritual mind has surpassed the realm of spiritual transformation, and the perception of spiritual energy is very clear. If there is something mixed in the spiritual tea, it will be known before it is taken into the mouth, and it will not be poisoned again.

When I drank the fourth cup of spiritual tea, Zhu Jun, the ceremonial officer of Deputy City Lord Cai, finally came back, but he came back alone and did not see Deputy City Lord Cai.

Wu Tao remained calm and did not ask about Deputy City Lord Cai. Instead, he waited for Zhu Jun to speak. Zhu Jun walked up to him, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Li Shenjun, Deputy City Lord Cai is at a critical moment in his cultivation. Maybe I want to ask Li Shenjun to stay in the city lord’s mansion for a few days.”

Hearing this, Wu Tao stood up from his chair and said, "In that case, let's wait until Deputy City Master Cai has finished practicing in a few days before he visits."

A deputy city lord of Tianyang City, a cultivator of the eighth level of divine transformation, was not worthy of Wu Tao waiting for him in the city lord's mansion for several days.

This seems to be a deliberate rejection of Wu Tao, as revenge for Wu Tao not immediately accepting the other party's invitation last time. This is because he has forgotten his hatred.

"Eighth level of spiritual transformation, do you want to show your face to me?" Wu Tao snorted coldly in his heart and walked out of the living room.
