Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble."
After Mo Lun left, Ling Zhenfei decided to take a walk nearby.
He hadn't been to a place like this for a long ti. Ling Zhenfei loved the mountains, so he wanted to walk around a bit.
This courtyard has two rows of houses, which should all be guest rooms, but there weren't many people inside at the mont.
This courtyard also has a back door, and after walking out of it, Ling Zhenfei saw an extrely high cliff outside. Looking down from the cliff, the mountain was thousands of feet high with very smooth rocks and not even a bit of foothold.
Along the edge of the cliff is a small path that follows along the cliff, leading upwards.
Walking up, he unexpectedly arrived at a small pavilion, where a few people were chatting.
Although Ling Zhenfei was only watching from afar, he could sense these people were no ordinary individuals.
It was clear that these people ca from the courtyard just now, in other words, eight or nine out of ten were invited by the Wuliang Immortal Palace, so their status must at least be in the Dawen Realm.
Moving closer, Ling Zhenfei saw clearly, there were four people, either standing or sitting in the pavilion, discussing sothing.
Ling Zhenfei saw them, and naturally, they also saw Ling Zhenfei.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei walking over, all of them stood up.
"Hello brother, are you also a Guest Elder of Wuliang Immortal Palace?"
One of them, looking around forty, asked Ling Zhenfei with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
Ling Zhenfei walked over and said, "Yes, I'm new here and not very clear about the situation; could you tell what you are doing?"
The man said, "We just arrived not long ago and are discussing so issues; since you are here, let's join in."
These people scrutinized Ling Zhenfei, but their expressions were different.
Clearly, they were surprised; the Guest Elders of Wuliang Immortal Palace must at least be in the Dawen Realm.
But this Ling Zhenfei seed way too young to be in the Dawen Realm.
Among these four, the youngest was the one who spoke with Ling Zhenfei, looking forty-sothing but certainly older, probably around fifty.
The other three had white hair, evidently not young.
They introduced each other.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I wonder what you seniors are discussing?"
The one who first spoke to Ling Zhenfei was nad Ye Qingxuan, who seed approachable.
Ye Qingxuan said, "Actually, it's nothing much. We were just curious; for example, Li Hao, as a cultivator in the Dawen Realm, what made you agree to be a Guest Elder at Wuliang Immortal Palace?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, it's nothing. Wuliang Mountain helped out once, so I owe them a favor and agreed to be their Guest Elder."
As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, the others laughed.
One of them, nad Li Shutong, said, "We all understand, why make excuses? I don't believe they didn't offer you any benefits."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, wondering if he should tell them the truth.
Thinking for a mont, he said, "Actually, it's really nothing; I truly owe them a favor. As for any benefits they might have offered, I haven't asked, and don't know what they will provide."
Ling Zhenfei played a trick, wanting to see if they would tell the truth.
One person had been silent until now; his na was Cui Lingyun, who now said, "It's nothing much; they just promised to let study in Wuliang Mountain."
Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei understood this person wasn't truthful; being a master already in the Dawen Realm, still needing to study with others was sheer nonsense.
"Wuliang Mountain indeed promised so elixir, you know, us cultivators have a huge demand for elixirs."
The man speaking was Xiao Hai, the oldest among them.
Ling Zhenfei knew Xiao Hai wasn't truthful; to venture into the Foreign Land Space for a re elixir was too high a price.
Or perhaps elixirs were just one among many incentives.
At this ti, Ye Qingxuan said, "I think we shouldn't hide anything; Wuliang Mountain promised entry into the Wuliang Book Tower for study. Without such a condition, I wouldn't have agreed to them."
Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel a subtle fondness for this man, appreciating his straightforwardness.
Ling Zhenfei said, "What kind of place is the Wuliang Book Tower that compelled you to agree to Wuliang Mountain's conditions?"
Ye Qingxuan said, "The Wuliang Book Tower is the core secret of Wuliang Mountain; you might know, when the Demon King invaded, all of Huaxia was a battlefield, but relatively, the border nation Rainbow Nation was not greatly affected.
Thus, due to its strategic location, Wuliang Mountain suffered minimal damage, allowing many Ancient Tis classics to be preserved, which is why Wuliang Immortal Palace ranks among the Three Great Immortal Palaces today."
Xiao Hai also said, "Indeed, the Wuliang Immortal Palace was obscure before, but after the Demon King's invasion and widespread destruction, it rose because it suffered less damage."
Ling Zhenfei rarely t such seniors; even when he did, they were usually adversaries, so having a friendly chat like this, especially about things he enjoyed hearing, was quite rare.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Are the other Immortal Palaces similarly situated?"
Li Shutong said, "More or less; the South Sea Immortal Palace's location is further away, and Tianling Spirit Palace's position on Tian Mountain makes it easy to defend but hard to attack, so it wasn't severely damaged."
Ling Zhenfei ca to understand that the current Three Great Immortal Palaces weren't originally powerful, just less damaged.
At this mont, Cui Lingyun, who had been sizing up Ling Zhenfei since the beginning, suddenly asked, "Brother, where do you co from?"
Ling Zhenfei didn't understand his intention, replied, "I co from Binyang."
Cui Lingyun was startled, saying, "You are Ling Zhenfei, right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Indeed, I'm Ling Zhenfei, didn't I introduce myself earlier?"
Cui Lingyun laughed heartily, confusing Ling Zhenfei about what was so funny.
Suddenly, Cui Lingyun pulled out a dagger without any warning and thrust it at Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, not knowing what was happening, quickly dodged aside, avoiding the dagger's attack.
Not only was Ling Zhenfei surprised, but the three others chatting nearby were also shocked.
Li Shutong shouted, "What's happening, why did they suddenly start fighting?"
