Chapter 137 The Immortal King's Descendants, Strength (Asking for Monthly Tickets!)
The token Chu Zheng held, according to the specifications of the Locking Immortals Tower, was already a rare distinguished guest.
As soon as he entered the building, a female cultivator about 25 or 26 years old came to greet him. She was dressed in a light gauze and had no shoes on. She had a graceful figure and had already entered the Dao.
The woman knew her limits very well. She glanced at Song Lingqing behind Chu Zheng and did not get too close. When she was three steps away from Chu Zheng, she stopped and bowed:
"Lian Yao greets the distinguished guest. Please follow me."
In the Cangyun Realm, names like Lian Yao, like Yingying and Cuicui, are flower names.
After Lian Yao said this, she turned around and led the way without asking any more questions.
Song Lingqing was obviously a little curious, but she did not dare to look around, for fear of seeing something she should not see. She clenched her fists, lowered her head all the way, and stared at Chu Zheng's heels.
There was a dead silence all around. Lian Yao, who was leading the way, did not even make any footsteps, and landed without a sound.
After a cup of tea, the three of them entered a private room.
Lian Yao activated the magic circle that blocked the sound, poured two cups of spiritual tea, lit the quiet incense in the corner, and then turned to look at Chu Zheng and asked:
"What are you doing here today?"
Chu Zheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said slowly: "I want to ask for some information. Please ask the head of your Lingyin Pavilion to come."
There are three pavilions and six courtyards in the Locking Immortal Tower. The Lingyin Pavilion specializes in intelligence trading. From the holy land to the mortal world, the news that is circulating can basically be found out.
When the love is strong, getting some information is like going with the flow for these experienced monks. It is familiar.
This is also the unique feature of the Locking Immortal Tower. Some words and phrases of high-level monks are information that some monks may not be able to access in this life, which often means opportunities.
"Please wait."
Lian Yao did not ask more questions, bowed, and turned to leave.
A moment later, a man in his thirties stepped into the private room, closed the door, and bowed:
"I am Ding Cheng, nice to meet you two fellow Taoists."
Ding Cheng's cultivation is much stronger than Lian Yao's, he has entered the stage of Condensation, and among the major sects, he is also an inner sect elder.
"What news do you want to know?" Ding Cheng did not look at Song Lingqing on the side, but stared at Chu Zheng and got straight to the point.
"The current situation of the Shang family and its subsidiary Song family, as well as their specific strength."
"The news in my Locking Immortal Tower is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man. This price..."
Chu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt the lengthy introduction and said bluntly: "No need to introduce, heaven level, all the news about the Shang family and the Song family."
"One hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Seeing this, Ding Cheng did not waste any more words and directly quoted the price.
Hearing this price, Song Lingqing opened her eyes slightly and took a deep breath. One hundred high-grade spirit stones, in exchange for low-grade ones, would be a full ten thousand yuan. Her current total assets were only twenty thousand yuan.
Chu Zheng had no intention of bargaining, and directly took out a hundred high-grade spirit stones and piled them on the table.
Ding Cheng methodically took out a formation plate, counted and checked the 100 high-grade spirit stones, and then said:
"The Shang family is the descendant of the Immortal King. In the Yuanling Holy Land, half of the high-level people are from the Shang family. Although the Yuanling Holy Land is a holy land, it is actually the Shang family that is in power. The current saint of the Yuanling Holy Land, Shang Zuling, is from the Shang family."
"As far as I know from the Locking Immortal Tower, the Shang family currently has 23 Tongxuan realm cultivators, more than 80 Shenbian realm cultivators, more than 300 Shenying, more than 2,000 Ningpo and Rudao cultivators, and the spiritual springs below are incalculable."
Hearing the strength of the Shang family, Chu Zheng was shocked, and Song Lingqing on the side subconsciously held his breath.
This kind of strength, and they belong to the same family, is much stronger than the so-called true immortal family. On the surface, not to mention the immortal treasures, it is even much stronger than a holy land.
Ding Cheng took a breath and then spoke:
"The Song family is also a family of immortals. The probability of an immortal seedling in the family is extremely high. There is an old ancestor in the Divine Infant Realm who is in seclusion all year round. The current head of the family is named Song Yusang, who is a cultivator in the late Condensation Realm. He is not young and has little hope of condensing a Divine Infant in this lifetime."
"In addition to Song Yusang, the Song family also has eight cultivators in the Condensation Realm, more than fifty cultivators in the Tao Realm, more than 150 cultivators in the Spiritual Spring Realm, and more than 300 disciples in the Yangli Realm."
"A few years ago, the younger generation of the Song family had a top-grade immortal bone named Song Pingjun, who built a Seventh level immortal foundation, with the potential to reach the profound, highly valued, it is said that he has received an olive branch from the Shang family, who intend to recruit a son-in-law. "
"I can tell you more news. Some time ago, the Song family, a true immortal family in the East Region, came here. The Song family here may be a branch of the true immortal family's bloodline."
Speaking of this, Ding Cheng paused. Song Lingqing on the side waited for a moment, and seeing that he had no intention of continuing to speak, she couldn't help but wonder: "That's all?"
"For now, based on the question raised by this Taoist friend, I can only tell you this much." Ding Cheng nodded.
Song Lingqing glanced at the spiritual stones piled not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones were exchanged for just a few words. The spiritual stones came too easily.
Chu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "What is the relationship between the Song family and the Shang family?"
Ding Cheng's face was a little solemn for a moment. He sat up straight and shook his head and said, "I can only tell you some confirmed news. I can't make a judgment on the relationship between the two forces. If I speak nonsense, once something goes wrong, I can't bear the consequences."
"Then let me ask it in a different way."
Chu Zheng's eyes were slightly fixed, and he asked another question: "Did the Song family explicitly refuse the Shang family's son-in-law?"
Hearing this, Ding Cheng hesitated slightly, and then said, "The Song family did not agree."
Chu Zheng's eyes showed a hint of smile. Knowing this result was enough.
Chu Zheng said nothing more, drank the spiritual tea in front of him, stood up and said:
"Let's go."
Song Lingqing reluctantly withdrew her eyes from the spiritual stone and stood up silently.
"Daoyou, take care." Ding Cheng stood up to see her off.
Outside the private room, Lian Yao was half-kneeling on the ground, waiting.
Seeing Chu Zheng coming out, she bowed, stood up and led the way without saying a word, and sent the two of them all the way to the outside of the Locking Immortals Tower.
Song Lingqing turned around and glanced at the plaque of the Locking Immortals Tower, and said hesitantly:
"This place... is a little different from what I thought before."
She thought that this place was full of dirty things of thieves and prostitutes, but now it seems that it is not so bad.
"In fact, there is no difference. It is just as you think. It is a place where filth and dirt are hidden."
Chu Zheng corrected her thoughts and reminded her: "Don't come alone."
While the two were talking, a thirty-year-old woman walked out of the Locking Immortals Pavilion, her face was flushed, her face was smiling, her whole body was overflowing with spiritual power, and she was refreshed.
Such a happy state made Song Lingqing stunned. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and asked quietly: "Is it really so refreshing?"
Since Chu Zheng is married, he is an experienced person and should know more than her.
"..."
Chu Zheng was silent for a while, did not answer this question, turned around and said: "Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Go to the Song family, visit them directly and ask them what they think."
After knowing some key information, there is no need to go around.
The Southern Region Song family is too scattered, and there is no contact between them. The so-called blood ties are nonsense, nothing more than a conflict of interest.
The Song family rejected the Shang family's son-in-law, obviously unwilling to settle for the status quo. With the visit of the Eastern Region Song family, perhaps this is the best time.
…………
…………
The location of the Song family is not difficult to find. It is in a mansion on the north side of the imperial capital. It is more than a thousand feet long and wide, intricate, and covered with layers of magic arrays.
There are two Lingquan Realm monks stationed in front of the door. Chu Zheng did not hide his origins and directly handed in the visiting card as the son of Taixuan.
Hiding the head and showing the tail makes people look down on him.
Moreover, with the divine infant now in hiding, there is no one in the entire southern region who can kill Chu Zheng, so there is no need to worry too much.
The reason why they hid their tracks when they came was mainly because there were too many people watching Chu Zheng, which would bring unnecessary trouble.
But a moment later, a group of people hurried out to greet them.
The leader was nearly forty years old, tall and thin, with a short beard, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Condensation. Without exception, those who followed him were all Condensation cultivators.
"I am Song Yusang, the head of the Song family."
The middle-aged man spoke first and bowed: "I didn't know that the Holy Son Taixuan was here. I didn't welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me. Please come into the mansion for a chat."
Soon, Chu Zheng and Song Lingqing were welcomed into the mansion.
After entering the hall, Song Yusang invited Chu Zheng to take a seat, called the maid, served him spiritual tea, sat down and exchanged greetings for a while, then began to ask Chu Zheng's purpose of coming:
"I wonder if the Holy Son has come to visit suddenly. What advice do you have?"
Song Yusang's eyes concealed a trace of doubt. Recently, the Song family has been in turmoil. First, the Shang family recruited a son-in-law, then the True Immortal family was looking for relatives, and now there is a devil king.
Now Chu Zheng's notoriety has spread throughout the Southern Region. In the Immortal Martial Battlefield, he killed more than 200 Soul Condensation cultivators in one battle. This record undoubtedly caused a shocking wave in the Southern Region, which has not seen war for a long time.
What's more, Chu Zheng is not yet nineteen this year, and the title of devil king is not fake.
"I can't say I'm giving you any advice, I just want to ask the head of the Song family what plans you have for the future of the Song family."
After that, Chu Zheng extended his hand to Song Lingqing:
"Give me the blood jade."
Song Lingqing took out the blood jade and handed it to Chu Zheng.
[Family heirloom blood jade (fourth level/incomplete): a medium for opening a secret realm, divided into six fragments. After collecting them, supplemented with the blood essence of the Song family's direct lineage, a secret realm can be opened. It can be repaired (0/300)]
When Chu Zheng first came into contact with the fourth-level blood jade, he was still a second-level repairer. It took 500 repair points to repair the blood jade. Now that his level has been raised, the repair experience has been significantly reduced.
If he waits until he builds a Dao fetus and enters the third level, and then is promoted to a fourth-level repairer, the number of times the blood jade needs to be repaired will inevitably be further reduced.
The moment he saw the blood jade, Song Yusang couldn't help but stand up:
"This thing..."
