Lian Xi hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “That brat still has two companions. If the three of them come together, it won’t be easy for us to defeat all of them.

“Let’s get someone to keep an eye on that kid. When he’s alone, we’ll immediately kill him so that he knows the consequences of offending me!”

Lian Xi sneered.

He wasn’t exaggerating earlier.

There were indeed a lot of things going around Xuandu Mountain.

Those with Xuandu Tokens, those who wanted the tokens, and those with other intentions had all gathered in this area.

There were already many conflicts that happened on the surface every day.

There would only be more in the dark.

However, the Mystic Spirit Sect completely ignored them, allowing the cultivators to fight among themselves.

Over the past few days, it was unknown how many people had died under the struggle or sneak attacks.

Even the disciples of large sects were no different from itinerant cultivators here.

After killing someone and throwing their corpse into the depths of the forest, who would know how they died?

After returning to the house, Lin Shen continued to rest.

As for Lian Xi and Luo Deng, they were just clowns. He didn’t take them to heart at all.

It was fine if the two of them didn’t attack him, but if they did, he would get rid of them as an exercise.

In the next few days, Lin Shen stayed in the house most of the time. Occasionally, he would go sightseeing with Qu Ke and Shen Zening. It was quite leisurely.

As the date of the Xuandu Convention approached, more and more cultivators came to Xuandu Mountain.

With more people came more conflicts.

In the past few days, Lin Shen witnessed more than ten conflicts with his own eyes.

There were even a few times when he discovered that when the two sides left with injuries, many sneaky people secretly followed them.

Those injured people would definitely not end well.

Fortunately, there were always small conflicts but no major ones.

On the day of the Xuandu Meeting, everyone who held the Xuandu Token gathered at the foot of the mountain and waited for the array to be activated.

Lin Shen stood on a gentle slope and looked around. The mountains and plains were filled with cultivators with powerful auras. There were no less than 2,000 people.

The auras of many cultivators gathered together and condensed into an invisible pillar of air that shot into the sky, sweeping away the clouds. The sky within a radius of several kilometers was clear.

Qu Ke and Shen Zening stood beside Lin Shen and were amazed when they saw this scene.

“The Mystic Spirit Sect is indeed one of the few large sects in the East Sea Path. Just the Xuandu Meeting alone has gathered so many cultivators at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage!” Qu Ke sighed.

Shen Zening smiled and said, “At the end of the day, the Mystic Essence Liquid is too attractive. Not to mention itinerant cultivators, even disciples of large sects like you and me, as long as they want to condense a third or fourth-grade spirit meridian, they would want to take a chance at the Xuandu Meeting!”

Qu Ke nodded in agreement.

Although Cast Spirit Pills could also condense spirit meridians, it only worked well for the first few spirit meridians.

When the number of spirit meridians exceeded nine, one would need dozens of Cast Spirit Pills to condense a new one!

Even the disciples of the large sects found it difficult to bear the burden.

One might as well give it a try at the Xuandu Meeting. If one was lucky enough to obtain three to four drops of Mystic Essence Liquid, it would be more than enough to forge a fourth-grade spirit meridian!

That was why so many cultivators flocked to the Xuandu Meeting.

There were even some cultivators who did despicable things to obtain a Xuandu Token.

Lin Shen was listening to the other two when he suddenly heard the conversation of some other people.

“There are many more people participating in this year’s Xuandu Meeting than in previous years!”

“Oh no, there are so many people. Even if 1 find the Mysterious Wood Spirit, it probably won’t be my turn to take it!”

“The Xuandu Meeting hasn’t even started yet, why are you already feeling dejected? Since you’re already here, you should try your best!”

“I think Cai is right. There are many experts among the participants this year. I’m afraid we’re far from being their match!”

Lin Shen looked in the direction of the voices and realized that it was an old man and two young ones

The two younger men were in their late 20s. From their outfits, they seemed to be itinerant cultivators.

The old man had white hair, but his face was rosy, and his skin was firm. He looked like a sage.

Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Shen’s expression changed, and he walked over.

When they realized that Lin Shen was approaching, the two young men immediately looked wary and subconsciously tensed up.

However, the old man didn’t panic at all. He gave the two men a look to calm them down. Then, he smiled warmly at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen didn’t mind. He walked straight to the old man, cupped his hands, and smiled.

“Greetings. I’m Lin Shen. I accidentally overheard the three of you chatting just now. From what you said, you seem to be quite familiar with the people here?”

“I can’t say that I’m familiar with them. It’s just that I’ve been traveling back and forth between the nearby large cities. I’ve seen too much, so I naturally know more than others.” The old man chuckled.

“May 1 ask how I should address you?”

“My surname is Luo Wei.”

Without waiting for him to speak, Luo Wei took the initiative to say,

“If Fellow Daoist Lin is interested in the people here, why don’t I introduce them to you?”

Lin Shen was a little surprised that Luo Wei was so enthusiastic, but he had come to talk to him about this, so he nodded happily.

“Thank you, sir.”

Luo Wei smiled and scanned the crowd. Suddenly, he pointed in a direction.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, look over there.”

Lin Shen couldn’t help but look in the direction he was pointing at, only to see three young cultivator masters standing on a high slope..
