Yuan Rao possessed a perfect cultivation base at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
To seek an opportunity to break through to the Transformation Spirit stage, she temporarily resigned from her position as the City Lord of Taiping City and traveled around the cultivation world.
Now, the sudden private message indicated that she had likely given up hope of breaking through…
Calculating her age, Yuan Rao was close to a thousand years old, even if she hadn't reached it yet. Even with the natural treasures provided by the group members, she would only have a hundred years or so left to live.
Once a cultivator passes their golden age for breakthroughs, even another hundred years is of no use.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Changsheng was momentarily lost in thought.
Looking back, he suddenly realized that he was already over seven hundred years old, let alone Yuan Rao, who was his senior?
Time is merciless, and time flies.
Especially when you don't pay attention to the passage of time, it will quietly press the fast-forward button. By the time you come back to your senses, the outside world has already undergone great changes.
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath and replied, "Does City Lord Yuan have anyone in mind?"
Yuan Rao: "One is you, and the other is Fairy Luo, but Fairy Luo herself manages the entire Ancient Immortal Dao lineage. I think it's better not to add to her workload, lest she become like me."
As a member of the Immortal Cultivation Group, and with the resource support of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage and Taiping City, she actually had hope of breaking through to the Transformation Spirit stage.
However, in recent years, she was too immersed in the development of Taiping City, which led her to miss many opportunities for contention. Now, she regrets wanting to make up for it, but it is too late.
Chen Changsheng: "I have the authority of the Demon Suppression Division and the Dao Treasure Pavilion. Let the other elders manage the City Lord's Mansion."
Chen Changsheng: "I think Qianqian or Yingmei would be suitable."
The best candidate for the position of City Lord of Taiping City is definitely an elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage.
Qinglian should have good city management skills, but she represents the Envoy Kingdom. If a city is controlled by a princess of a kingdom, it will easily confuse the positions of the Envoy Kingdom and Taiping City.
As for Li Shang, Nie Qing, and Qi Xianjue, they are a little restless, often traveling outside for decades without returning. They don't even have time to manage their own sects, let alone Taiping City, which requires a lot of energy.
Yuan Rao: "Qianqian has a straightforward personality and is carefree. I think she is more suitable to be a general of Taiping City, not a City Lord."
Chen Changsheng: "Then let Yingmei take the position. She likes to stay in Taiping City and has a deep understanding of the Heavenly Mystery Arts, which can protect Taiping City."
Yuan Rao: "I also asked Fairy Luo, and her thoughts are similar to yours. Then let Yingmei be the City Lord. She will take office in a few days. Are you coming back to Taiping City to attend the ceremony?"
Chen Changsheng: "So soon? But I won't go back for now. I plan to go near the forbidden area to see if I can collect ancient inheritances."
Saying he was collecting ancient inheritances, he really just went to collect ancient inheritances. He wouldn't be foolish enough to explore the forbidden area, and he never even went to secret realms or caves.
Chen Changsheng had two purposes for going to the periphery of the forbidden area. One was to exchange resources for ancient inheritances such as thunder techniques, halberd techniques, and boxing techniques, to learn from the strengths of various schools and integrate his own Daoist field.
The other was to observe the faces of others and imprint the faces of cultivators with outstanding talents.
What place has the most geniuses gathered?
Of course, it is the outer trading area of the major life forbidden areas!
Chen Changsheng had lived for more than seven hundred years and had never been close to a life forbidden area. Taking advantage of the current prosperous period of the righteous path, it was a good time to broaden his horizons.
Having recovered his state, Chen Changsheng got up and walked out of the courtyard.
He smiled and said to Miaomiao and Yuniang, "Pack up your things, we're going to play in other places. Where did that kid Yemingyi and Old Tortoise go?"
"Mingyi was taken by Old Tortoise to the mountains for training, near the monster beast cave." Yuniang said softly.
During the conversation between the two, Miaomiao had already excitedly rushed back to the room and packed all her things in one go.
Chen Changsheng smiled and raised his hand to gently flick Miaomiao's smooth forehead.
This girl is still as enthusiastic about playing as ever. She was very happy when she heard that she was going to play in other places.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Hongyu, the three of them drove the flat boat and turned into a rainbow of light and flew away from Lianjiao City.
Spanning the continuous mountains and rivers, they went straight to the depths of the deep mountains and wild forests.
Booming noises occasionally erupted in the mountains, echoing for a long time.
Yemingyi was seen holding a flying sword, with a confident smile on his face, fiercely fighting with several huge monster beasts in the mountains and forests.
The scattered Dao techniques filled the sky, and both sides were fighting happily.
It wasn't until the flat boat landed that both sides stopped their Dao techniques and cast surprised glances at Chen Changsheng and the others.
"Master, you're out of seclusion!"
Yemingyi immediately put away his flying sword and took a few steps forward.
Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded, raising his hand and pointing at Yemingyi's forehead.
"I promised you the swordplay secrets before, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for more than ten years. I'm very sorry."
"I will now pass on all the swordplay I have learned to you. You have to rely on yourself for the road ahead."
Buzz!
Before Yemingyi could speak, a large number of complex sword moves suddenly poured into his mind, as if a Taoist figure was rehearsing them one by one in his mind.
《Sword Nurturing Art in the Box》, 《Falling Moon Slashes the Azure Sky》, 《Azure Sky Covers the Moon》, 《Nine Heavens Moon Shadow Sword》!
A total of four sword techniques appeared in his mind, as well as a large number of experience teachings on the field of swordsmanship.
Chen Changsheng passed on all the sword moves he had learned in his life, as well as his experience and insights on the field of swordsmanship.
Yemingyi fell into a state of mental trance for a while, standing in place and stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Master... are you leaving Lianjiao City? Can you take me with you?" Yemingyi hurriedly asked.
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "You are not suitable to practice with me. You have to rely on yourself for the road ahead."
"The Nine Dragons Domain is full of opportunities, but it is also full of dangers. Before you break through to the Golden Core stage, you cannot leave this mountain."
"Many sects and factions outside are investigating your information. It is tantamount to sending yourself to death if you go out with only the Foundation Establishment stage, understand?"
Hearing this, Yemingyi couldn't help frowning and said aggrievedly: "Master, why can Senior Sister practice with you, but I can't?"
Chen Changsheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Your situation is different from your senior sister's. Your field of swordsmanship is still in the exploratory stage. I am just your guide, and I can't take you to the end."
Yemingyi stared blankly at his master, feeling deeply in his heart.
Swordsmanship is his master's regret, so his master doesn't want the regret to repeat itself on him. Therefore, he doesn't dare to take him on his own path again, but hopes that he can walk his own path.
Yemingyi understood his master's good intentions, and the confused look in his eyes gradually became firm.
He nodded cautiously and said, "I understand, Master. I will definitely walk my own path, and I will visit you again when I achieve fame!"
Chen Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, wondering how much his apprentice had imagined.
He didn't actively explain, but just smiled and patted his apprentice on the shoulder, and took out an Ancient Immortal Token and handed it over.
"Activate this token if you encounter a crisis that cannot be resolved in the future, but you cannot rely too much on the protection of the token. Chicks who don't grow up will never be able to spread their wings and fly."
