I have 99 innate treasures

"Dear guest, please."

The shrimp soldier, with a flattering smile on his face, half bowed and led Qin Mu around the screen to a long eaves corridor.

Qin Mu looked at the two sides of the eaves with curiosity, and saw that the eaves were the same as the gate of the Crystal Palace, with transparent water curtains hanging between the eaves columns to isolate the sea water.

He looked down and saw that the ground of the porch was very dry, but on the other side of the curtain, the undercurrent in the sea was constantly rippling, rolling up the mud and sand, and from time to time a huge black shadow passed by.

The shrimp soldier was no longer surprised by Qin Mu's curious look and his movements of looking around. He introduced with a smile as he walked along, "Due to the large number of visitors, the sea and land event hosted by the Dragon Queen is divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. Hall A has a total of 50 seats, each of which can accommodate 500 people. Hall B has a total of 80 seats, each of which can accommodate 2,000 people. Hall C has a total of 150 seats, each of which can accommodate 3,000 people. Hall D has a total of 200 seats, each of which can accommodate 8,000 people."

Zhang Tiansu and Zhang Tianzhen, brother and sister who were following behind Qin Mu, looked at the other shrimp soldier following them after hearing what was said, only to see that he had a blank expression on his face.

Zhang Tianzhen secretly clenched his fists. It was just a level difference, why was the treatment so different?

The shrimp soldier following the envoy kept his body half-bowed the whole time, with a warm smile on his face, and also introduced the information of the sea and land conference.

The shrimp soldier following them remained silent and had a stern face, as if he had a serious illness that made him unable to laugh and mute.

As she gritted her teeth, four forks in the road appeared in front of her. The shrimp soldiers following her saw that she was going to go forward, so they immediately stretched out their claws as big as human heads to block her way and stop her.

"You two are not qualified to go to Hall A. Hall D takes this road."

Zhang Tianzhen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he wanted to tell it that he and his sister were together with Qin Mu.

Zhang Tiansu tugged at her sleeve before she could speak, and shook her head, saying, "Our gift is not high, and we should have gone to Ding Palace. The envoy and we just met by chance, and if we force ourselves to go with him, he will have to give us an extra gift."

At this point, he glanced at Qin Mu who had already walked away, then turned to look at the expressionless shrimp soldier in front of him, and said with a smile: "Please continue to lead the way."

The shrimp soldier nodded silently, turned around and led them to another eaves corridor.

At the same time, the shrimp soldier following Qin Mu also smiled and continued, "You are a little late. The halls in front of the A-32 are already full of distinguished guests. But please rest assured that the treatment in each A-hall is the same."

After introducing the information about the temple, it began to talk about other things about the entire conference.

"This conference is expected to last for ten days. On the first day, the Dragon Queen will bring her sons and daughters to meet and visit all the distinguished guests, and invite everyone to enjoy the sea dance. On the second day, the Dragon Queen will lead all the distinguished guests to welcome the Empress and the Imperial Concubine."

"On the third day, a trade fair will be held in the square outside the Crystal Palace, so that all distinguished guests can exchange resources with fellow monks."

"On the fourth day, also in the square outside the Crystal Palace, a mighty dragon will preach to all the distinguished guests."

"On the fifth day, an exchange meeting will be held. Arenas will be built according to the realms of the distinguished guests, so that everyone can exchange their skills. At the same time, the Sixth Princess's husband will also be selected from this exchange meeting."

"In the next five days, the activities will be decided based on whether the Sixth Princess can choose a suitable husband."

When the shrimp general introduced here, it and Qin Mu just arrived outside a magnificent palace. A red carpet was laid from inside the palace to outside the palace. On both sides of the palace door, there were two crab generals who were several feet tall, wearing golden armor and holding huge axes, guarding each side.

When they looked down and saw Qin Mu, they put the axes in their hands down at their feet, bowed and clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Welcome to the distinguished guest!"

After the shrimp general nodded to the two of them, he half bowed his body and led Qin Mu into the hall with a smile.

The hall looked extremely empty. Many exquisitely crafted candles shining with gold and silver hung from the ceiling. Huge carved jade walls were embedded on the walls on all four sides.

Qin Mu took a quick look and found that there were dozens or even hundreds of people sitting sparsely in the hall. Only a small number of people were sitting together, and there were empty seats next to most people.

One by one, beautiful and innocent-looking girls wearing revealing clothes were walking back and forth, holding plates filled with delicacies.

In the center of the hall, there is a high platform, on which many colorful sea fish are dancing leisurely to the sound of a young woman's flute.

General Xia led Qin Mu to an empty table and sat him down, then bowed and said goodbye to him with a smile.

"If you need anything, just call those beautiful clam spirits. They also know what I know. Besides, you can also ask them which guests my palace has. If you feel bored, you can call them to introduce you to other guests, or they can lead you back to the side hall to rest."

"There are five hundred side halls behind my main hall. There are formations in each of them, so you will never be disturbed."

Qin Mu nodded to him and bowed with a smile.

Soon after the shrimp general left, the clam spirit came to him with delicacies and filled his table with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.

"I wonder which sects or senior masters of Ming Zhen Huan Yu are currently in this hall?"

Qin Mu took the opportunity to ask her.

The clam spirit answered respectfully, "There are a total of 113 distinguished guests in the hall right now. Among the distinguished guests from the imperial court, there are the four geniuses of the Imperial Academy, the mayors of the three cities of Guanhai, Baiyun, and Baizhou, and Tang Mubai, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division. The distinguished guests from many cultivation circles include the hall master and elders of Xuanfeng Hall, the pavilion master and elders of Yingyue Pavilion, the building master and elders of Huayu Tower, the five elders of the holy land Sifang Valley, and their direct disciples."

Qin Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed.

What a coincidence, I actually met an acquaintance.

The lord of Guanhai City is King Song, Song Rentu, one of the kings of different surnames. The lord of Baiyun City is Zhao Feng, a Mahayana cultivator who gave him the Shadowless Boat and many magic weapons. The lord of Baizhou City is named Peng Chang. Although Qin Mu has never seen him, he has heard of him.

It is said that the Peng family is a famous imperial merchant, with business spread across all prefectures and counties in Dayu.

Tang Mubai, a captain of the Demon Suppression Division, was even more familiar with him. Qin Mu had met Tang Mubai several times when he was still in charge of the Demon Suppression Division in Guanhai Town. When Qin Mu first started practicing the "Five Qis Returning to the Origin Art", Tang Mubai had even put a ball of spiritual power into his dantian to help him practice.

While he was thinking about these things, the clam girl had already filled the table with delicacies and fine wines, and asked in a soft and respectful voice: "Among these people, are there any acquaintances of yours?"

Qin Mu shook his head slightly. He had already used his magical power of "Thousands of Changes" to change his face into the sallow, middle-aged "Li Dabai" on the Shadowless Boat.

At present, only the Flame King Qi Haiquan knows his identity. Seeing this, the clam girl said respectfully: "If the distinguished guest needs you, you can call the little demon at any time. The little demon is only active nearby."

After saying this, she slowly left.

Qin Mu looked around, wanting to see where all his acquaintances were sitting, but because there was a high platform in the middle, he could not see many of the cultivators. In the end, he gave up and just tasted the wine.

On the other side of the platform, Tang Mubai, a man with a young and serious face who looked only in his twenties, was wearing a black shirt embroidered with silver edges. His long sideburns hung on both sides of a patch on his chest with an image of an exotic beast. He had a silver token hanging around his waist and sat cross-legged on one side of the table.

Opposite him was Song Rentu, whose arms and legs were exposed. He was wearing a fitted black armor and looked to be only in his teens, like a delicate little boy.

On another table beside them, Zhao Feng, the Lord of Baiyun City, and Peng Chang, the Lord of Baizhou City, were chatting.

Next to them were four geniuses from the Imperial College, two men and two women. All four of them were very young, and looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

At this time, Song Rentu looked around, scratched his ears and cheeks, looked like he couldn't sit still, and his eyes looked towards the door from time to time.

Tang Mubai had been watching him for a long time, and at this moment he couldn't help but ask, "Why has Your Majesty been looking around since he sat down?"

Song Rentu looked at the door and said, "My great-grandfather said he would come, but there are more than a hundred people in the palace, and he is nowhere to be seen."

After hearing this, Tang Mubai suddenly remembered an important figure and asked in surprise, "But what about the senior master who called himself 'Eighty-Nine in the Universe', believed that there were only eighty-eight people in the world who couldn't beat him, and who went to heaven and earth to hunt down the Cangshan Old Demon for more than two hundred years?"

Song Rentu withdrew his gaze from the door, turned his head to look at him, and chuckled, "You have heard of his name too?"

Tang Mubai smiled and said, "When you came to the East China Sea with the Cangshan Old Demon some time ago, you reported to His Majesty that the Cangshan Old Demon wanted to use blood sacrifice to destroy all living things. When I was ordered to investigate the past of the Cangshan Old Demon, I learned from a senior that the Cangshan Old Demon had only two great enemies since his debut."

"One is Fu Qingfeng's elder brother Fu Qingsong, and the other is this 'Universe Eighty-Nine'. Because this senior's name is so special, I conducted an in-depth investigation and finally found that he and you are of the same origin and clan."

Song Rentu chuckled and said, "He is my grandfather's grandfather. Although he is my great-great-grandfather, my family has a long life span. He is now in his prime and has an extremely hot temper."

After saying this, he talked about what happened that year with great interest.

"In the early years, when I was fighting with the old demon of Cangshan, I was restrained by him. After a few rounds, he easily captured my soul. Before that, I anticipated that I might die in his hands, so I hurriedly sent a distress signal to my clan."

"After my great-grandfather received the distress signal, he tore through space based on the location between his bloodlines and came to the side of the Cangshan Old Demon, where he fought a fierce battle with him."

"That old demon was no match for my great-grandfather, so he turned around and fled."

"My great-grandfather was furious and hunted him for more than two hundred years. He was intercepted dozens of times during that time, but every time they fought, the old demon of Cangshan always found a gap to escape."

"More than two hundred years later, when I was playing chess with Huangshan one day, the old man cheated and regretted his move, so I picked up the chessboard and smashed it on his head. The old man was furious and fought with me. During the fight, we happened to meet the old demon Cangshan who was being hunted by Emperor Gaozu."

"My great-grandfather saw that Huang Shan dared to fight me, so he fought two of them alone, and in the interval between the battle with the old demon Cang Shan, he beat Huang Shan up."

“But the old demon Cangshan also took the opportunity to escape and was never seen again.”

"It wasn't until a few months ago that he suddenly became active."

Tang Mubai only knew that the Earth Immortal Huangshan was once smashed on the head by the Song Rentu with a chessboard because he regretted his move. This was the first time he knew that this incident was actually connected to the hunting of the Cangshan Old Demon.

For a moment, he suddenly became curious about this great man who had hunted down the old demon of Cangshan for more than two hundred years.

After Song Rentu finished introducing this "history", he stopped looking at the door and leaned half of his body over the table, chatting with Tang Mubai in a low voice, and asked, "Since the destruction of Wanfo Mountain, I heard that your three thousand households are responsible for settling down tens of millions of people imprisoned in Pushan Zen Temple, but I have never heard of any town that suddenly has an extra population."

"Tell me secretly where you have placed these people?"

Tang Mubai smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is not a secret. Your Majesty does not need to be so cautious." He paused and said, "These people have been abused by the monks of Pushan Temple for a long time and have lost their normal thinking. If they are arranged to the towns, cities, prefectures and counties, they may cause chaos."

"So they were sent to the secret realm near the imperial city in batches, and a group of reserve lieutenants and inspectors from the Demon Suppression Division were recruited to settle in the secret realm, firstly to teach them common sense, and secondly to cleanse their so-called 'Buddha nature'."

After saying this, Tang Mubai shook his head with a distressed look on his face and sighed, "But this matter is a long and arduous task. It will probably take two generations before the new people can have normal contact with the outside world."

"I see."

Song Rentu suddenly understood what was said.

While the two of them were talking, another forty or fifty monks were led into the hall by the general.

After Tang Mubai finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of those people who said "Amitabha" when they opened their mouths and "Good" when they closed their mouths. He felt worried for a moment, picked up the wine pot and filled two cups of wine for himself and Song Rentu, and drank them all without saying a word.

When he finished drinking and was about to pour more wine, the sound transmission note hanging on his waist suddenly vibrated slightly.

He unlocked the sound transmission talisman and injected spiritual power into it. Then he heard a middle-aged man's voice: "My Lord, not long ago, Zhang Tiansu and Zhang Tianzhen, the deputy commander of Yaohai City's Demon Suppression Division, reported that they met a middle-aged man holding His Majesty's golden order on their way to the Dragon Palace."

"According to them, this person's name is Li Dabai, and he is a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage."

When Tang Mubai heard the news, his brows furrowed deeply.

He just came back and doesn't know many things yet.

After hearing this news, he instinctively began to doubt the authenticity of Jin Ling.

Song Rentu, who was sitting opposite him, asked in surprise: "Li Dabai?" (End of this chapter)
