After this battle, Qinchuan's name was established in the City Lord Manor.
Cobalt Blue was very strong. After all, she was in the top three among the young city lord. But she couldn't fight back against Qinchuan. How could people not be shocked?
Qinchuan put away the immortal crystals. He couldn't wait to upgrade the Five Element Immortal Flags. He wanted to see if he could leave Phoenix City after upgrading.
But when he was about to leave, he saw the young city lord. He was safe now because of this woman. Because he followed her, Yin Long, and the elders of that circle wouldn't do anything.
So Qinchuan walked in front of the young city lord and scratched his head. "I don't like calling you young city lord. What should I call you?"
Many people in the surroundings trembled. This Qin Chuan was truly audacious.
The young city lord stilled. Actually, she didn't like being called young city lord. She was just used to it, so she let it be.
But Qinchuan seemed to be very serious.
She thought about it and said, "You don't have to call me that. Just say what you want."
Qinchuan nodded. "Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome. Oh, in a few days, someone will come to the competition. I hope you can come with me," the young city lord said.
"Okay!" Qinchuan nodded with a smile.
…
Returning to his own courtyard in the City Lord Manor, Qinchuan ruled a pavilion. Shen San and his wife lived in a small one.
After Qinchuan returned, he didn't hesitate. He took out immortal crystals and started upgrading the Five Element Immortal Flags.
The Five Element Immortal Flags were now at the fifth level.
Upgrading to the sixth level required fifty immortal crystals.
Qinchuan had around seventy now. If Qing Dan hadn't gone to Phoenix City, Qinchuan wouldn't upgrade the Five Element Immortal Flags first. Instead, he would upgrade the Five Element Buddha. Even if it wasn't the Five Element Buddha, it would be the Divine Beast Formation Eye Stone or the Seven-story Pagoda of Zhen Yao Xian.
However, he had no choice but to upgrade the Five Elements Immortal Flags first.
Actually, even if he upgraded the Five Elements Immortal Flags, Qinchuan wouldn't necessarily be able to enter and exit Phoenix City. If that was the case, Qinchuan would need to upgrade the Five Elements Immortal Flags again.
However, the amount of immortal crystals required made Qinchuan worried. Another thing was that after this level up, there might be a limit to the next level up. For example, before the Immortal Stage, one could at most reach Level Five. In the Immortal Stage, one could definitely reach Level Six. However, whether or not one could reach Level Seven, Qinchuan was not sure.
However, now was not the time to think too much. He needed to upgrade the Five-Element Immortal Flag by one level first.
He leveled up very quickly. There was a simple but gorgeous halo of light. The Five Elements Immortal Flags in his sea of consciousness seemed to have gained a touch of charm. At the same time, his Five Elements abilities were improved significantly. This could be considered as increasing Qinchuan's strength.
All in all, it was pretty good.
Five Elements Immortal Flags, Level Six.
Qinchuan felt the current Five Elements Immortal Flags but he had a bad feeling. Although the Five Elements Immortal Flags were much stronger and he could set up another Heaven Gate, Qinchuan's premonition would fail.
Try!
Phoenix City was grey.
Although Qinchuan had a bad feeling, he still had high hopes.
The Heaven Gate map showed that Phoenix City's surroundings were lit up, meaning that it could be set up. However, Phoenix City was dark, meaning that it couldn't be broken through the restrictions of this formation.
Level Six wouldn't work.
However, he didn't have enough immortal crystals. Otherwise, he could try to upgrade it to Level Seven.
Helpless, Qinchuan planned to use this time to raise his cultivation and collect immortal crystals. He hoped to reach Level Seven as soon as possible. When that happened, Qinchuan felt that he could break through Phoenix City's formation. After all, there were flaws in the Imprisoned Phoenix Formation. Level Seven … Qinchuan was confident that the Five Elements Immortal Flags could definitely do it.
Now, Qinchuan didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. He tossed these thoughts aside. He couldn't rush it. At most, he would wait two or three years and he would definitely succeed.
…
Qing Dan, who entered Phoenix City, had already stayed for a week. She asked around and got an answer that made her feel lonely.
Qinchuan brought the woman he was looking for out.
This was the will of the heavens. He had come in and she had gone out.
However, she didn't regret coming in. Instead, she thought that Qinchuan had come out and didn't go find her immediately.
He and that woman had lived here for a year. Qing Dan didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little envious of that woman.
This could be considered fate.
This was fate!
Perhaps living here wasn't bad.
Qing Dan looked ahead and at the bustling surroundings. Her mood gradually calmed down.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qinchuan almost didn't leave the City Lord Residence. He studied formations, talismans, and the Dao.
When he had nothing to do, he would cook and drink with Shen San.
On this day, the two of them were drinking and eating. Ying 'er was there too.
Just as the three of them were talking excitedly, a person walked in.
The three of them used their senses and looked back. They were stunned.
Young City Lord.
Every time Qinchuan saw her, he would be absent-minded for a moment.
This woman was too pure and holy. It was similar to Chu Shi and Qing Zhu's otherworldly beauty.
"The taste is really good," the woman said softly. She seemed to be smiling, but she didn't seem to be smiling.
"If you don't mind, you can sit down and have a drink," Qinchuan said as he stood up.
"Is it convenient?" The woman smiled and looked at Qinchuan.
This time, it was a real smile, very shallow.
Ying 'er pulled her and said, "Come on, their cooking skills are really good."
Ying 'er and Shen San were originally sitting next to each other, so the Young City Lord could only sit next to Qinchuan.
A faint fragrance wafted over. This fragrance was very light, but it was simple and elegant. It was indescribably pleasant. However, Qinchuan soon knew that it wasn't a perfume or the fragrance of flowers. It was the natural fragrance of this woman.
"What's wrong?" The woman turned her head to look at Qinchuan. Seeing that he was in a daze, she asked with a clear gaze.
Qinchuan came back to his senses. He calmly picked up the wine jar and poured a cup for the woman.
This was the plum blossom wine that Qinchuan brewed himself.
The fragrance of the wine permeated the air. The fragrance of the dishes was also especially enchanting.
Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost finished, Shen San stood up and prepared to cook a few more.
Qinchuan originally wanted to go, but Qinchuan didn't let him. However, Ying 'er went to help Shen San.
"Have a drink," Qinchuan said with a hint of inquiry.
The woman nodded and picked up the wine cup. She actually liked the fragrance of the wine very much. It was elegant and quiet. This was an indescribable fragrance of the wine. It was especially enchanting.
After taking a sip, her eyes lit up. It was like sweet dew flowing down her throat. She felt extremely refreshed. There was an indescribable coolness on her back, from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head.
It was really wonderful. It was too wonderful.
The woman's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Good wine!"
"It's good that you like it. I'll give you some later," Qinchuan said.
The woman nodded. "The people from Taicheng will come tomorrow."
"Taicheng?" Qinchuan was stunned.
Previously, the woman had informed him that there would be people coming in the next few days.
