Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Where is My Patent Fee?_1

Eldest Senior Sister took out a gilded invitation card, and one could tell from the envelope alone that it was of considerable value, “The grand event in Qingzhou includes a competition among the younger generation. The government office of Qingzhou has sent us an invitation, hoping that we from the Seek Dao Sect send a representative to participate. I planned to discuss this matter with you initially, but now that Junior Brother Meng has raised this up, it saves us a lot of trouble.”

“A competition among the younger generation?” Lu Yang was eager to give it a try since he had never competed with his peers apart from those from the Five Elements Sect.

“Then let’s go, in my chariot,” Meng Jingzhou called out.

“Just the two of us? Aren’t Junior Sister Tao and the others coming?”

“I wanted to invite them, but Junior Sister Tao told me she was waiting for the results from the Second and Eighth Elder, I have no idea what those results are. Also, she seems fully engaged in her research on the Feather Transformation Immortal Body, so I didn’t invite her again.”

“Junior Brother Man has returned to his Barbarian tribe for a visit, and I’m not sure when he’s going to come back.”

“Junior Brother Li is spending quality time with his family, trying to help our niece form her Golden Core, so he isn’t willing to come out.”

Meng Jingzhou felt a bit distressed. This was such a great opportunity. There are only fifteen of these large-scale events held each year across the fifteen states of Great Xia. Once they miss this one, they will have to wait for another month. They are missing out.

As someone who likes lively scenes, the more people that go, the better.

After Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had left, Eldest Senior Sister suddenly remembered something and opened the invitation: On the third day of 99,860 of the Great Xia Calendar, as per the rule, the grand event of Qingzhou was to be held. It kindly invites your Sect to send outstanding disciples to participate in the event and give some guidance as judges.

“Junior Brother and Junior Brother Meng wouldn’t get up on the stage, right?”

Yun Zhi murmured to herself, feeling like she was worrying over nothing.

Both of them are the first and second-ranked among the younger generation in the Seek Dao Sect, so their strength was unquestionable and higher than the others.

If they get on the stage, it would be too unfair.



“When I was at home, I often heard them talking about grand events here and there and how spectacular they were. Just hearing about it made me want to go and see it myself.”

“Unfortunately, I hadn’t started Cultivation at the time, so I wasn’t qualified to watch the grand event.”

“The Grand Event of Qingzhou is held for cultivators. To avoid disrupting the normal life of mortals, Qingzhou will set aside a special area outside the city where a Great Cultivator will temporarily construct a city. ”

Inside the chariot, Meng Jingzhou was building castles in the air with wild gestures while Lu Yang was impressed.

“In addition to the magical duel, there will be auctions, eyesight appraisals, barter trades, exploration of ruins, appreciation of Golden Cores, etc. The event will provide an array of activities, ensuring every cultivator will gain plenty after attending.”

“Not just our younger generation, but middle-aged and high-ranked cultivators will also be there. However, these cultivators have their own communities and won’t interfere with us.”

More senior cultivators were much older than Lu Yang and his peers. If these seniors were around, the younger generation might feel constrained.

Lu Yang deeply understood this: hosting classmates at home felt very different when the parents were around compared to when they were not.

“We have also held cultivator exchange meetings, but back then everyone had a lot of grudges. A disagreement might end up in threats against your entire family. On the surface, it was an exchange meeting, but more often than not, tribulation cultivators would take actions secretly, killing people for their treasure, making it extremely dangerous.”

“So, only the major clans have the right to host a cultivator exchange meeting due to its high safety standards. For example, the Lianshan Clan backing Immortal Jiuchong, the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes, the Four Major Ferocious Clans, and so on.”

Fairy Eternity sighed and reminiscing about those times, she thought it was really tough back then.

Lu Yang remembered that Immortal Jiuchong once made Fairy Eternity cook and let the criminals confess. The criminals mentioned here were probably cultivators like those tribulation operating in secret, who had crossed the Lianshan Clan’s bottom line.

“Later, when the five of us became immortals, we started hosting exchange meetings irregularly. The meetings we hosted were very safe with no reckless killers. However, I’m not good at organizing such events, so Qinghe took care of it for me.”

“Once I suggested, since the exchange meeting was being held at my place, it should take place at some unique locations, like the Mother-child River, Twin River, or places like that. There are mountains and rivers everywhere, what a beautiful view it is. If anyone wants to play in the water, they could go into the river.”

“Qinghe firmly refused my suggestion, saying that it was dangerous there.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, Fairy, the water in your river is the biggest enemy of family planning, who dares to get in the river?

“Sometimes, Yingtian Immortal would give away some books at the exchange meetings, posing it as unintentional. The books recorded our great achievements.”

“When I asked Yingtian Immortal why he did this, he said people would suspect the authenticity of the books given by immortals publicly, but if they seem to have been spread unwittingly by immortals, people would consider them more authentic.”

Lu Yang felt that Yingtian Immortal’s logic was sound and he learned a lesson.

What Lu Yang didn’t know was that the rumor about Yingtian Immortal impregnating countless women was also spread this way.

After traveling slowly for two days, Old horse arrives in Qingzhou, through mountains and rivers.

Upon entering the Qingzhou area, Old horse reined in its ability to travel between spaces. It had been traveling on wilderness trails before, where no one could see it, but that wouldn’t work here. This was Qingzhou, a place bustling with people. The power would scare passers.

Meng Jingzhou popped his head out of the chariot, looking at the scenery not far away with a beaming smile, “We’re almost there.”

Lu Yang also stuck his head out from the other side. The forest was dense, verdant, and lush. Between the mountains, there were buildings made of bluestone arranged in an orderly manner, full of beauty like a painting.

Even though it was temporarily constructed, the structure was exquisite, showing great care and thought.

Many black dots were moving, from one building to another. These were all cultivators.

The arrival of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou in a common-looking chariot didn’t draw people’s attention.

Swoosh-

A black shadow shot past over their heads. The two looked up and found it to be a flying ship moving at a considerable speed.

The arrival of the flying ship caused an outcry from the pedestrians.

“Look, that’s the flying ship of the Thunder Fire Sect. Such a fast speed! I wonder how many Spirit Stones this flying ship is worth. It’s said that the Thunder Fire Sect has produced an extraordinary genius in this generation. The people following the flying ship, are they the genius’s escorts?”

“Oh, we were wrong. That’s the Thunder Fire Sect’s ship exceeding the speed limit, and the people behind it are constables.”

“What’s that strange magic instrument? The logo on the instrument belongs to someone from the Yunmeng Sword Sect!”

“There’s a sword under the magic instrument, and a big iron shell on the sword, I’ve never seen anything like that.”

“I know about this; it’s called a Flying Car. It’s said to be a magic instrument invented by a Swordsmanship genius from the Seek Dao Sect and hasn’t become popular yet. The previous way of sword flight could only carry one person, but this Flying Car can carry five.”

“It’s indeed the Seek Dao Sect. Their novel ideas are far beyond us.”

“Who wouldn’t agree? I heard that the Seek Dao Sect is showing signs of becoming the head of the Five Great Immortal Sects. The people in their Sect are all geniuses!”

Meng Jingzhou turned to look at Lu Yang, who wore a strange expression on his face.

This flying car was his invention. Later, the Fifth Elder asked Li Haoran to apply for a patent. He had not paid attention to this matter after that and didn’t expect that it has already entered mass production?

“Wait a minute, where is my patent fee?”
