Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 89: The Talkative City Lord (Seeking Subscriptions)

In front of the Silver Maple City Lord stood a young man in white.

He was completely dressed in cold white, with long hair like frost, naturally hanging down without being tied or bound. Under his thick white eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes hid sharpness. His facial features were three-dimensional, and his body was upright like a spear.

"Hmm."

The young man in white had no expression on his face, but his throat made a sound, and his gaze was always fixed on the figure that had long left the City Lord's mansion.

At first, he didn't understand why his sister chose this man.

But as he observed for a while, he gradually realized that this man was more steady and down-to-earth than any cultivator. He either didn't go out, or when he did, he went straight to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion and didn't go anywhere else.

He was simply a timid and cowardly turtle cultivator.

However...

This time, Li Guanxuan followed Zheng Huangjin to the City Lord's mansion to visit and revealed his identity, obviously setting a trap for the Shanggu City Lord.

In other words, although Li Guanxuan was timid and cautious, he still had a vengeful side deep down.

If he didn't take action, it was probably because his strength really couldn't match the other party.

Once he surpassed the other party in strength, Li Guanxuan would definitely strike ruthlessly and mercilessly, not giving the enemy any chance to catch their breath.

"As far as I know, this Li Guanxuan also has the identity of a second-order talisman master, a sword master, and a first-order formation master."

The Silver Maple City Lord sighed lightly. "Talented, truly talented... In my eyes, human cultivators are synonymous with cunning, slyness, and hypocrisy, but in this guy, I only see two words—practical!"

That's right, practical! This kind of person is a typical case of 'you don't provoke him, he won't provoke you; if you threaten him, he will definitely find a way to kill you and not leave you any room to breathe.'

And you should have observed during this period of time, after coming out of seclusion, he didn't go around spreading good news or holding celebratory banquets. He just stayed at home with his three wives... Although we don't know what he's doing inside.

When he has free time or when the city is relatively safe, he would also take his three wives out for a stroll and buy some small items.

This is not a cultivator at all, but clearly just a person who wants to live a normal life...

After these words, the Silver Maple City Lord was full of admiration and praise.

He was also a pragmatic demonic cultivator.

Although he couldn't be as low-key as Li Guanxuan, not seeking fame and fortune, he believed that he managed Silver Maple City very well.

"I hope he remains like this in the future."

The young man in white spoke in a cold tone, like an iceberg that would never melt.

"Don't worry, Brother Wuji, I have a good eye for people. With a man like him, as long as you treat him well, he will treat you even better."

The Silver Maple City Lord patted his chest and confidently said, "Just look at how he treats Zheng Huangjin. You can see how poor his aptitude is without me telling you. He has reached a realm built up by pill concoction, and the poison in his body is so strong that even ordinary detoxification pills can't solve it. Only high-quality detoxification pills can."

"But how does Li Guanxuan treat him? He immediately immersed himself in researching and refining high-quality detoxification pills and life-saving pills, just to help this person who has helped him, to solve the difficult problems in his body!"

Speaking of this, the Silver Maple City Lord couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, if I were closer to him, I would want to become sworn brothers with him!"

Compared to the talkative Silver Maple City Lord, the young man in white had been standing silently on the side, his gaze always fixed outside.

Finally, the young man in white nodded slightly, made a soft "hmm" sound, and then left.

"Where are you going? To kill the Shanggu City Lord?"

The Silver Maple City Lord stretched his neck and asked, reminding him, "It's not easy to kill the Shanggu City Lord now. His layers of formations inside and out are like a death trap. Going there would be suicide. Besides, he won't come out at such a critical moment. Just wait a bit..."

When he can't sit still and runs out in a frenzy, the two of us can join forces to kill him, it's not too late...

You can rest assured, your brother-in-law's alchemy skills are extremely outstanding, and I can't bear to let him die. And whether I can condense a high-grade Gold Core in the future probably depends on whether he can refine high-quality Golden Yuan Pills."

The young man in white had already walked far away.

I didn't hear a word behind Silver Maple City Lord at all.

He is a person who enjoys tranquility and doesn't want to be with a chatterbox. He would get annoyed and couldn't help but draw his sword and stab that noisy mouth.

After the white-clad youth left, Silver Maple City Lord held the porcelain bottle and looked at it more and more pleasingly, muttering to himself:

"I took the high-quality poison-refining elixir that Li Guanxuan gave to Zheng Huangjin, as well as the life-saving elixir. This guy shouldn't hate me, right?

After all, he and Wuji Brother's own sister sucked dry my second-grade medium-quality spiritual vein. It would take at least ten or eight years to recover... There shouldn't be any problem with a normal apology.

Hehe, with these four elixirs, I will have at least two Foundation Building mid-stage cultivators on my side again. Nice!"

However, after laughing, Silver Maple City Lord seemed to remember something.

"Spiritual Treasure Pavilion seems to be holding an auction recently, and the item for auction is a high-quality life-saving elixir... In the past year, many guest officials of Myriad Manifestations Pavilion have been poached by Spiritual Treasure Pavilion..."

Silver Maple City Lord looked down at the small porcelain bottle containing the elixir in his hand, pondering:

"If I sell this favor, Li Guanxuan should also know my sincerity, right? In the future, if he can refine the Golden Yuan Pill, he shouldn't leave out mine."

...

After Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin returned to Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you have any special feelings?" Li Guanxuan asked with a serious expression.

Zheng Huangjin paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, what did you feel?"

"Somebody has been secretly watching me," Li Guanxuan explained with a furrowed brow. "Strangely, this person doesn't have any hostility towards me, but I feel a bone-chilling coldness..."

The range of divine sense in the early stage of Foundation Building is generally around thirty to forty zhang.

But Li Guanxuan's divine sense, combined with the growth from dual cultivation, has already doubled in the early stage.

His sensitivity is higher than that of ordinary Foundation Building cultivators, so he can perceive that something is amiss.

Zheng Huangjin said in a deep voice, "Are you suggesting that there is someone else in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Probably," Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said, "But since the other party doesn't have any hostility, they shouldn't do anything to us. They're probably just curious and taking a closer look at me."

"In any case, Silver Maple City Lord is straightforward. Since he promised to let you stay, he won't let anyone cause trouble for you openly or secretly. You can completely trust him in this regard," Zheng Huangjin said with a smile.

"You made a clever move by revealing your identity and putting Shanggu City Lord in a difficult situation... But now, it depends on whether Silver Maple City Lord will sell you out," Zheng Huangjin continued.

"Yeah, I'm also worried about that," Li Guanxuan sighed lightly and said, "This is the first time I've come into contact with Silver Maple City Lord. He is indeed easy to talk to, open-minded, and attentive. As long as he doesn't expose my identity, I can offer to refine a Golden Yuan Pill for him at a normal price in the future."

"Knock, knock."

At this moment, someone was at the door, followed by the voice of Lí Kuāngzhèng, saying, "Shopkeeper, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion personally delivered something."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin looked at each other and froze.

Could it be that Silver Maple City Lord wants to go back on his word?

Zheng Huangjin waved his sleeve, opened the door, and asked, "What is it?"

Lí Kuāngzhèng walked in, closed the door behind him, glanced at the protective talisman on the door, and then answered, "He didn't say, just told the shopkeeper to open it himself."

After speaking, Lí Kuāngzhèng handed over a storage bag.

Li Guanxuan narrowed his eyes and said, "This is the storage bag I gave him."

Zheng Huangjin couldn't believe it and quickly took the storage bag. Just as he was about to open it, he cautiously controlled it in mid-air with his divine sense and slowly explored it.

"..."

Li Guanxuan was speechless. Where did Zheng Huangjin learn this from?

Zheng Huangjin said in a deep voice, "Inside are your exquisite poisonous elixir and life-saving elixir."

Li Guanxuan knew that the two of them had gone to the Lord's Mansion today to pay a visit.

Upon hearing that the gift they sent was returned, Li Guanxuan's face became slightly serious as he asked, "Did the negotiations break down? Did the Lord of Silver Maple City stick to his original words?"

"No," Zheng Huangjin replied.

Li Guanxuan chuckled and said, "This Lord of Silver Maple City is quite interesting. He actually sold us a favor."

"Yes," Zheng Huangjin agreed.

Zheng Huangjin also didn't expect this and said, "The auction of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion is approaching. The Lord of Silver Maple City had the steward return these four elixirs to help us deal with the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion."

At this point, Zheng Huangjin looked at Li Guanxuan and added, "Brother, the Lord of Silver Maple City returned these four elixirs out of respect for you."

Li Guanxuan also guessed and said, "He didn't return them, he lent them to us. We will have to gather materials and refine four elixirs to give to him in return. In doing so, he not only gains the elixirs but also gains a favor... But it makes sense. If he didn't want anything at all, then I would have reason to worry. Since he accepted something, it means he doesn't have any ill intentions towards me and won't cause trouble for me in the future."

"Golden Yuan Pill," Li Guanxuan reminded, "He will probably use this favor on the Golden Yuan Pill."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly with a smile.

It didn't matter. As long as forty to fifty years later, the Lord of Silver Maple City prepared the materials for the Golden Yuan Pill, he could refine it for the other party.

"I will figure out the materials for the Poisonous Elixir and Life-saving Elixir. It will be up to you, my brother, to refine them when the time comes," Zheng Huangjin said, clasping his hands together.

"If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to compete with the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion," Zheng Huangjin said.

"It's a small matter," Li Guanxuan said with a lazy stretch, smiling. "As long as we can live peacefully in Silver Maple City, a little hardship is nothing."

In the afternoon, after giving some guidance to a few first-level symbol masters at the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Li Guanxuan bought some cooked demon beast meat and returned home.

As soon as he arrived home, Qin Jiyue's face was full of joy as she said, "Husband, my brother is still alive!"

Li Guanxuan was taken aback and asked, "Did he come to see you?"

"Yes," Qin Jiyue nodded happily and said, "But he used divine sense to communicate and didn't come out to see me. He told me that you are a good husband and asked us to live well in Silver Maple City. Until Shanggu City Lord is dead, we shouldn't leave easily."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong, husband?" Qin Jiyue couldn't help but ask.

"Today, when I went to the Lord's Mansion, I always felt like someone was secretly watching me..." Li Guanxuan truthfully recounted everything, including the incident of the Lord of Silver Maple City selling him a favor.

After hearing these things, Qin Jiyue nodded slightly and analyzed, "It seems that my brother and the Lord of Silver Maple City probably know each other. Otherwise, when you came out of seclusion, the Lord of Silver Maple City would have definitely driven us out of the city."

"In any case, we don't have to wander around anymore," Li Guanxuan said with a smile. "I have already asked Brother Zheng to help us find a good house in the inner city. It's a residence on the second-grade superior spiritual vein. We can move in now."

The three women's faces lit up with joy and they hugged each other, cheering and jumping with happiness.

Soon, the family of four began to pack their things.

To be safe, Li Guanxuan took them out of the city first, and then, with the help of Zheng Huangjin, they entered through another city gate and headed straight for the residential area in the inner city.

Doing so was also to make some people think that he had left Silver Maple City.

After all, the incident of draining the second-grade middle-grade spiritual vein had indeed caused dissatisfaction among many people.

After dinner, in the evening.

Li Guanxuan, with nothing to do, enjoyed tea and played with the sun and moon.

Even the life of immortals is nothing more than this.

There is no need to rush through the days of cultivation breakthroughs, just like this, shameless and boring.

After all, Li Guanxuan is currently in the early stage of Foundation Building. He only needs to stabilize his realm with a little use of immortal energy. He doesn't need to cultivate every day like before, twelve hours a day.

When he has free time, Li Guanxuan will also go to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion to help cultivate alchemists and talisman masters.

By the way, he also improves his formation skills and engraves formations in the houses in the inner city.

One month later.

The first-order talisman masters who followed Li Guanxuan to learn talisman skills in Shanggu City are now mostly staying in Silver Maple City.

Only a few who have families in Shanggu City did not come.

Among them, Han Lian, who has outstanding talent, wiped the sweat from his forehead after drawing a high-quality talisman, and happily saluted, saying,

"Senior Li, I have already drawn a high-quality protective talisman. Please take a look."

"I've seen it, it's very good," Li Guanxuan said with a smile. "Try drawing other talismans and try to make them all reach the high-quality stage. Only then can you better advance to become a second-order talisman master.

Here is a high-grade Returning Yuan Pill provided for free by the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion. After taking one, calm your mind and recall the various aspects of drawing talismans. Try not to be too complacent. Self-reflection every day will help you progress faster."

"Yes!" Han Lian obediently put away his smiling face.

When they heard Li Guanxuan praise Han Lian, the surrounding talisman masters couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

The current Senior Li is no longer in the Qi Refining stage like before.

He is now a true Foundation Building cultivator. Being able to receive Senior Li's care and guidance is an extremely rare opportunity.

Two hours later, Li Guanxuan asked them all to take a break.

After all, drawing talismans for a whole morning would inevitably consume some spiritual power, mana, and physical strength.

During their leisure time, Han Lian couldn't help but talk about what happened a few days ago and said with a smile,

"Have you all heard? The Spiritual Treasure Pavilion intends to use a high-quality Life-Saving Pill to destroy our branch in Silver Maple City.

But unexpectedly, Manager Zheng directly took out two high-quality Life-Saving Pills and two Poison-Dispelling Spirit Pills, and directly attracted all the early-stage Foundation Building cultivators to our side.

The Spiritual Treasure Pavilion spent half a year building momentum and promoting themselves, but in the end, they became the wedding dress for our Myriad Manifestations Pavilion. Hahaha..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

This matter not only spread throughout Silver Maple City but also reached Shanggu City and the Huajing Immortal City.

And some alchemists who had originally switched to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion now regretted it and wanted to return to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

"A group of insignificant first-order talisman masters, dare to gossip behind our backs? They really don't know their own limitations."

At this moment, a powerful divine sense descended in the backyard, causing the faces of many first-order talisman masters to turn pale.

They had already exhausted their mana and physical strength.

Now, facing the divine sense of a Foundation Building cultivator, those with lower cultivation directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.
