Chapter 315 Wu Wei's Invitation

Just as Su Xin was about to turn around and fly away, a fairyland warrior guarding the city wall noticed his pause, and hurried forward, bowing and greeting him politely:

"Hello, fellow Taoist."

"Huh? Is something wrong?"

Su Xin stopped and asked curiously.

"I am Wu Wei, the commander of the Tancheng garrison. I just saw you stop in front of the city defense formation. I was wondering if you just came from the virtual world. If so, if you don't have a city entry order and spirit stones, I can invite you into the city and treat you to the specialties of Yaozhu Island."

Yaozhu Island is the name of this virtual island.

Hearing this, Su Xin was not polite, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"My name is Su Xin. Since Fellow Daoist Wu has invited me, I would be honored to accept the invitation."

Wu Wei activated a token on his waist, causing a gap of about three meters in diameter to appear in the mountain protection formation, and then stretched out his hand and guided it:
"Please, Fellow Daoist Su!"

The two flew in one after another.

The mountain protection formation was also restored to its original state.

After giving a few instructions to his subordinates, Wu Wei took Su Xin and flew towards the city. Soon, they arrived in front of a five-story building.

The building is made up of huge bricks and stones. The overall style is very rough, but the surface of the exterior wall is very smooth and neat, as if it had been cut and polished by some mechanical equipment.

The architectural style of the entire city also has an ancient, primitive and rough flavor, as if no aesthetic consideration was given to it when it was built.

"This is the best restaurant in Tan City. The owner is a powerful earth immortal who likes to drink and brew wine. After years of research, he invented a purple crystal fairy wine, which is brewed with a variety of top-grade fairy herbs. It tastes great and can also make people enter a semi-enlightenment state to assist in cultivation..."

While introducing enthusiastically, Wu Wei took Su Xin to the restaurant.

The waiter came over warmly.

"Two distinguished guests, please come inside!"

"Give me a private room with a better environment. I want to entertain guests. Go quickly!"

"okay!"

The waiter took the two of them straight upstairs to a separate private room, but the environment inside was still very rough and simple, with almost no decoration, and the tables and chairs were all made of smoothly polished gray stone.

It's a completely original style.

"Friend Su, please take a seat."

"Fellow Daoist Wu, please take a seat as well."

Su Xin was a skilled and bold man, and he didn't worry at all about the other party's conspiracy. He sat down carefree and chatted with the other party casually.

After the waiter left, Wu Wei changed the subject and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Su doesn't have any spirit stones in his hand, so he must have just walked out of the small universe, right?"

"Yes, this is my first time coming to the Virtual World Island."

Su Xin readily admitted it.

Although Wu Wei had guessed it long ago, he was still shocked when he heard Su Xin admit it, and he immediately bowed:

"I heard that the virtual world is boundless, and those who can travel in the virtual world are at least celestial beings... Su Shangxian, please forgive me for my presumptuousness. I didn't know your cultivation level before, but I actually presumptuously called you a fellow Taoist. I hope Su Shangxian will not be offended."

"You are too polite, Brother Wu."

"On our Yaozhu Island, celestial immortals are already top-level powerhouses. Even the city lords are usually only at the True Immortal level. Although Su Shangxian is new here, with his celestial immortal level strength, it is easy for him to have a good position."

Then, Wu Wei suddenly asked:
"By the way, our city lord is eager to recruit talented people. I wonder if Su Shangxian is interested in joining Tan City and becoming a Tan City priest. The conditions are very generous. If Su Shangxian is interested, or just wants to learn more, I can introduce him to someone."

Su Xin didn't need any cultivation resources, so he naturally couldn't become someone's employee for any reason, so he refused:
"Sorry, I'm a lazy person and have no interest in joining any faction."

Wu Wei continued to persuade:
"Since Su Shangxian has come to the Void Realm Island for the first time and has not yet come into contact with the Void Realm Spirit Stone, he probably does not understand the benefits of the Void Realm Spirit Stone. This thing is of great use even to the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

He took out a light black stone, placed it on the stone table, and gently pushed it in front of Su Xin:

"Shangxian Su might as well try the effect of the spirit stone. If Shangxian Su becomes a worshiper, the salary in terms of spirit stones will definitely satisfy Shangxian Su."

Su Xin was not polite. He took the spirit stone, held it in his hand and began to absorb it.

After absorbing this, he immediately discovered that the energy contained in the spirit stones here was indeed much greater than that in the Luotian world, and the nature of the energy was also very different.

It has an effect on him who is in the Heavenly Fairyland.

“This stuff is really good.”

Su Xin smiled and nodded, then said:
"However, I won't sell my freedom for this little bit of spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist Wu, please stop trying to persuade me about the offering. I really don't want to join any faction."

Wu Wei's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. Since Su Shangxian is really unwilling to join, I won't mention this topic anymore. Let's drink! Let's drink!"

The waiter quickly brought two jugs of wine and some exotic delicacies that exuded spiritual energy.

Su Xin was a skilled and courageous man, and was not afraid that the wine might be poisonous, so he drank with Wu Wei without hesitation.

The so-called fairy wine does taste excellent. Even Su Xin, who hardly drinks alcohol, praised it after taking a few sips.

After drinking, Wu Wei paid the spirit stones. Su Xin could clearly see that the other party looked painful. It was obvious that this expense was not small for Wu Wei.

"Thank you, Brother Wu, for your hospitality!"

Su Xin smiled and bowed again.

Wu Wei put away his painful expression and said seriously, "Su Shangxian, there is something I have to remind you. Each city has its own rules. Generally, flying over the city at will is not allowed. This is also for the good of both parties, so as not to accidentally anger some powerful hermits in the city and inadvertently provoke powerful enemies for yourself."

"At the same time, if you don't have the spirit stone, there may not be a suitable place to rest in the city. Su Shangxian can't sleep on the street, right? If you don't mind, why don't you stay in my house for a few days?"

Su Xin waved his hand and said:

"No, I'll just go shopping."

After the two said goodbye, Su Xin wandered around Tancheng. The environment here was quite similar to that of the Luotian world, and even the clothing was more primitive. Many people wore various clothes and decorations made of animal skins.

After all, there is no industrial system here and the business is not very developed. Making cloth is troublesome and expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and it is not as strong and durable as animal skin clothing.

In this world, there is no ordinary cloth. People either wear animal skins or gorgeous clothes made of top-quality cloth woven from various high-grade materials.

One can tell at a glance that the latter is of distinguished status.

Su Xin was wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, and was quite eye-catching in the crowd.

……

The central area of ​​Tancheng.

Inside the spacious and grand city lord's mansion.

Wu Wei came here to meet the city lord and reported all the details of the reception of Su Xin.

"...He accepted the food and drinks without hesitation, but he firmly rejected my invitation and said he didn't want to join any faction." City Lord Wei Canming said calmly:

"A celestial being like him who had just arrived at the Void Realm Island was wary at first, so he refused the invitation. In fact, after he felt the usefulness of the Void Realm Spirit Stones, it was impossible for him not to join a force. Otherwise, if he went around digging for Spirit Stones by himself, he would not be able to win over the major forces, and he would not be able to do the hard work of digging for Spirit Stones all day long."

"Since he is unwilling to join, let's wait and let him suffer a little first."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Wu Wei said respectfully, "There is one more thing. I saw that he was completely defenseless while eating and drinking. He didn't look like he was on guard at all. I wonder if he has any special cards up his sleeve?"

Wei Canming frowned and asked doubtfully:
"This is indeed problematic. Since this is his first time entering the Virtual World Island, he doesn't know the situation on the Virtual World Island. It stands to reason that he can't eat and drink so carelessly. Maybe he really has some special cards up his sleeve..."

"Forget it, let's ignore it for now. Find an opportunity to contact him later and invite him again. If he accepts, bring him to the mansion. If he doesn't accept, report it in time."

With a wave of his hand, Wu Wei retreated.

After a while.

A burly man wearing animal skins flew from a distance, landed directly in the City Lord's Mansion, and then hurriedly walked in a certain direction.

"Martial Worship!"

"Martial Worship!"

The servants along the way greeted him one after another.

The burly man didn't even glance at him, but strode to the door of the city lord's study. He kept walking and shouted loudly:
"Lord Wei! Wu Anrong wants to see you!"

"come in."

A burly man named Wu Anrong pushed the door open and reported solemnly:
"Lord Wei, the Taihua Mine was attacked by Fengcheng again. We lost two celestial immortals and 26 earthly immortals. A mining team was also intercepted and killed by them, and 80,000 spirit stones were robbed."

"Two celestial beings died?"

Wei Canming couldn't help but frowned.

The immortals are the backbone of any city, and the death of two of them is a loss that cannot be ignored for him.

There are still too few celestial beings on the Virtual World Island, and not all of them are willing to stay in the Virtual World Island, as they can roam freely in the Virtual World. Also, there are so many cities on the island that welcome them, so there are only a few celestial beings scattered in each city.

If two of them die, it may take more than ten years to replenish them if we are unlucky.

As for the earthly immortals, they were all bred and raised on the Void Island and could not leave. They would almost certainly join one of the forces. Since there were a large number of them, the death of dozens of them would not be considered a big loss.

Wei Canming said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I will send more people over as soon as possible. Please be careful during this time."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

……

Su Xin walked around Tancheng for a few times and learned more information from people's conversations.

There are several areas in the city that only immortals can enter and exit. Those are places that Ma Bin cannot access, and there is not much relevant information in his memory.

Although Su Xin had no money, as long as he showed his cultivation level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he could easily move freely in most situations.

However, he couldn't buy anything without money.

Whether it is a magical weapon made of various magical metals, or various magical herbs and elixirs, or other rare treasures, they all require spirit stones to buy.

After Su Xin walked around for a few hours, the sky was still bright. There was no night in this world, and the city was bustling and lively all day long.

"The Void Realm Spirit Stones are indeed somewhat useful. They are faster than the cultivation speed in the small world. As long as there are enough of them, they can also help my cultivation."

Su Xin turned around and flew away from Tancheng.

The source of spirit stones is the spirit stone mines located underground. There are spirit stone mines of various sizes scattered all over the entire Xujie Island. Due to the special environment of Xujie Island, the earth is extremely hard and can block the immortal consciousness to a certain extent, making the discovery and excavation of spirit stone mines very difficult.

Therefore, there are always people digging everywhere in the entire Void World Island to find spirit stone veins.

Many people say that once a spiritual stone mine is successfully discovered, they will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. There are definitely many people who hold this idea.

However, in the eyes of some people, such words are just made by the major forces to deceive people. After all, once these spirit stone mines are discovered, ordinary people will not be able to guard them at all, and they will eventually be snatched away by the major forces.

Ordinary people can forget about getting rich by relying on spirit stone mines and might even lose their lives because of it.

This is equivalent to the major forces taking advantage of people's greed and letting a large number of individual people help find spirit stone mines free of charge, and in the end the benefits belong to the major forces.

However, there are still many people who hold on to their luck and tirelessly search for spirit stone veins.

These people are called prospectors.

Su Xin naturally didn't want to be a mineral prospector.

Although he decided to keep a low profile for the time being, he would not make himself suffer just for the sake of keeping a low profile.

This world is about the survival of the fittest. There is no safe place outside the city. Even if he is an immortal, he may be robbed at any time.

Therefore, he just wanted to see if he could meet some 'generous and kind people'.

Su Xin was flying high in the sky.

His eyes searched the ground everywhere.

He did not emit any aura, and based on the way he flew in the air, others could only judge that he was an immortal. As for his specific realm, others could not tell at all.

As long as there was a brave robber who took action, Su Xin would kill him without hesitation and snatch all the spirit stones from him.

……

Su Xin's figure passed through the air.

In the dense forest below, people would look up at the sky from time to time, their faces filled with envy.

"Another immortal!"

"The Lone Immortal should be very powerful."

Many people noticed Su Xin flying overhead, and three immortals who were traveling together also whispered a few words:
"Lone Immortal, do you want to take action?"

"Let's test it out first."

"it is good."

One of the immortals immediately circulated his true energy.

A line of mysterious patterns on the palm of his hand lit up with a hazy white light. The next moment, the white light flew out of his body and condensed into the body of a bird-shaped monster that was two people tall beside him.

The immortal patted the bird-shaped beast, pointed at Su Xin's figure in the sky, and whispered:
"Test him."

"squeak!"

The bird-like beast chirped softly, and then gently flapped its huge wings, and its body soared into the air, shooting out like an arrow.
