"Brother Qin, you're here too," Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"Oh, Junior Brother Jiang, you haven't changed a bit in decades... Could it be that you've also found a fellow Daoist who possesses a Sky Abyss Token?" The red-haired old man only glanced at Jiang Hao before turning his gaze to Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling felt a tightness in his heart as the old man's gaze swept over him. This old fellow was also a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and he subtly felt a sense of oppression. It seemed he wasn't an ordinary cultivator; this person might have cultivated some extremely powerful techniques or secret arts.
"Haha, Senior Brother Qin's cultivation has also greatly improved. I'm afraid you've already reached the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm. This is Daoist Zhang..."
"So, it's Daoist Zhang. Since you possess a Sky Abyss Token, please come in. It's quite lively today. I didn't expect that within a thousand miles of Myriad Manifestation City, there would be three Sky Abyss Tokens. Hehe..."
The red-haired old man gave a strange smile and stepped aside, then burst into flames and soared into the sky.
"This Brother Qin is also an elder of Myriad Manifestation City, but unlike Jiang, he is an internal affairs elder. At the same time, this person is also an elder of the Fire Spirit Sect, one of the top ten sects. His Fire Yang Skill is unfathomable... Let's go in," Jiang Hao said to Zhang Ling, explaining the old man's background as he watched him leave.
Zhang Ling smiled and followed Jiang Hao inside.
There are many elders in Myriad Manifestation City, some are rogue cultivators, and some are managed by cultivators from other sects. It is said that there are many factions. The strength here may be more complex than that of an ordinary sect.
Walking in the main hall, Zhang Ling felt that it was very empty, but it was decorated very luxuriously. The entire hall was lined with golden pillars, with spiritual patterns flickering on them, which seemed to have been specially refined. The ground was also covered with black jade, and there were some character portraits and other decorations around.
He released his spiritual sense to scan the main hall and immediately found a huge long table placed in the center of the hall, with many black wooden chairs beside it. At this moment, three cultivators were sitting beside the table.
The arrival of the two immediately attracted the attention of these people. A beautiful woman in a red gauze dress stood up.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Jiang?"
"Haha, long time no see, Fairy Lin..."
Jiang Hao exchanged greetings with the woman, while Zhang Ling glanced at the three of them.
The woman in the gauze dress also seemed to be an elder of Myriad Manifestation City, and also a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. The man and woman beside her had different expressions.
The man's face was dark, but his complexion was not very good. This person only had a peak Foundation Establishment cultivation. The other woman was a hot-bodied beauty, and she was actually an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.
"Brother Jiang, who is this Daoist friend?"
"I forgot to introduce him. This is Daoist Zhang, also an owner of a Sky Abyss Token."
"Haha, this little girl Lin Lin greets Daoist Zhang. Please sit down, Daoist friend. By the way, these two Daoist friends also own Sky Abyss Tokens. One is Daoist Wu, and the other is Fairy Wen from the Hundred Flowers Sect."
"Fairy Lin is too polite."
Zhang Ling also cupped his hands and randomly chose a chair to sit down.
Afterwards, they chatted casually, mainly Fairy Lin and Jiang Hao explaining things. Zhang Ling and the other three who owned Sky Abyss Tokens rarely spoke.
Not long after, two more cultivators came to the table, Elder Wang from Myriad Manifestation City, and a cultivator who also owned a Sky Abyss Token, named Ma, whose cultivation was also a late-stage Golden Core expert.
After another hour or so, as they were chatting, a clear and cold voice suddenly entered their ears.
"Are these the only four people who possess Sky Abyss Tokens?"
The voice was very abrupt, but everyone heard it very clearly. They immediately stood up, and then Zhang Ling was the first to notice an old man in a red robe appearing at the entrance of the main hall.
The old man looked in the direction of the crowd, then shook his head and walked in. He walked very slowly, like an old man.
But Zhang Ling's pupils shrank. Every step the old man took, although seemingly slow, covered a distance of more than ten zhang.
In the blink of an eye, the old man flashed and sat down on a chair, casually glanced at them.
Zhang Ling felt a sense of shock as his gaze swept over him. He immediately judged that this old man was a Nascent Soul-level monster.
"Greetings, Elder Yuan."
……
After the red-robed old man sat down, Jiang Hao, Fairy Lin, and another elder of Myriad Manifestation City immediately bowed.
The reactions of these three also confirmed the old man's identity to Zhang Ling and the others. At the same time, the faint spiritual pressure on his body showed that this person was a Nascent Soul-level old monster.
Zhang Ling and the others naturally changed their expressions slightly and bowed in salute.
"This junior and others greet Senior."
"Hehe, sit down, this old man doesn't like these formalities."
"Fellow Daoists, this is Elder Yuan of our Myriad Manifestation City. Since the elder has spoken, let's sit down and talk."
After re-seating, no one spoke for a while. After a few moments of silence, Fairy Lin took the lead and introduced Zhang Ling and the others to Elder Yuan.
This Elder Yuan had no expression, just nodded slightly. After the woman surnamed Lin finished introducing him, he flicked his hand, and a circular token appeared in mid-air with a flash of white light. Zhang Ling recognized it at a glance; it was a Sky Abyss Token.
"I think you all recognize this token. This old man won't say much. Now Myriad Manifestation City is recruiting Sky Abyss Tokens. Since you have this token in your hands, then this old man will give you two choices," Elder Yuan said, and with another wave of his hand, three diamond-shaped tokens appeared on the table.
"The first is to join Myriad Manifestation City and become external affairs elders. You can enjoy the same authority as the elders. This old man can also make a decision to immediately allocate you sixty years of offerings. At the same time, you can also have a mid-grade spiritual vein cave, but you must hand over the Sky Abyss Token."
"The second choice is to exchange other resources for the Sky Abyss Token in your hands. Consider how to choose."
After Elder Yuan said the two choices, he stopped talking, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, making a哒哒哒 sound.
Zhang Ling and the others did not make a decision for a while and pondered in silence.
The two choices he gave were actually not bad. Becoming an elder of Myriad Manifestation City would bring tens of thousands of spiritual stones in offerings every year. You can also enjoy some special benefits of Myriad Manifestation City. It is also somewhat attractive to high-level monks.
If you practice in Myriad Manifestation City for a long time, this choice is indeed good.
If you directly exchange resources for the value of the Sky Abyss Token, you can roughly exchange for millions of spiritual stone resources, which is also a considerable wealth.
But no matter which one you choose, their Sky Abyss Token will definitely not be kept. Even if they don't want to take it out, it is impossible.
