A few days later, in Horizon City.
This was the border city of the central plains of the great desolate. As it rarely rained all year round, one could always see the pale blue sky, so it was called Horizon City.
At this moment, a man and a woman came to this place in front of the city gate of Horizon City.
"This is Horizon City."
Nie Ling pointed at the magnificent city gate and said.
Although it was only a border city, he could see countless high-rise buildings in the city at a glance, and some of them even had special purposes.
It could be said that it was extremely prosperous. What would the scene be like when they arrived at central plains?
'Central plains, I'm finally here.'
Looking at the scene inside the city, Su Yi thought and walked in with Nie Ling at the same time.
However, what they saw was a word that he did not want to see.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, does it have a branch in Horizon City?"
Looking at the building that stood out the most after entering the city gate, Su Yi asked unhappily.
"Yes, the power of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion can be said to be very large in the great desolate region."
Nie Ling seemed to be thinking about something and then continued, "Su Yi, actually, the power of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion is extremely huge. It has branches in every city in the great desolate region, and it has many subordinates."
"Moreover..."
"Moreover what?" he pressed on.
Most of the cultivators in the great desolate region were no longer a threat to him. What he needed to pay attention to were only cultivators in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
"The true power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is not in the great desolate region, but in the central sky region, where the core formation realm is located."
Nie Ling looked at him with an ugly expression. She had just told Su Yi about the power of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Su Yi did not reveal any surprise when he heard this. His gaze was indifferent as he thought for a while and muttered.
"Core formation realm? Central sky region?"
Seeing his expression, Nie Ling was also curious as she asked, "aren't you worried?"
Seeing this girl's worried expression, he smiled and said, "why should I be worried? Aren't we still in the great desolate region? Let's wait until we reach the core formation realm and head to the central sky region."
His faint smile made Nie Ling feel at ease.
From the beginning when they were traveling together, this man had given her enough shock. Was there anything that he could not do?
"Let's go to your Nie family's branch so we can get some materials."
"Okay."
The two of them chuckled and headed to the Nie family's branch.
However, not long after, Nie Ling suddenly stopped, and her expression was somewhat solemn.
Su Yi, who sensed something was off, also stopped and asked.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Nie Ling looked at him and said with a bitter smile.
"It was my Nie family's immortal destiny's voice transmission. When the Thousand Treasures Pavilion learned that I was traveling with you, they began to suppress and attack our Nie family's trading firm."
Hearing this, Su Yi frowned.
"Is it because of me?"
"Not exactly. The Thousand Treasures Pavilion has long wanted to suppress our Nie family. It's just that they never had the chance. Your matter only caused them to cause trouble ahead of time."
She explained that the Thousand Treasures Pavilion and her Nie family's trading firm had a conflict of interest to begin with.
Moreover, after the previous auction, the Nie family's trading firm had begun to improve. The Thousand Treasures Pavilion naturally would not continue to allow the Nie family's trading firm to continue expanding without restrictions. They would naturally find an opportunity to suppress it.
Su Yi's matter was only a catalyst. To the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, killing two birds with one stone was not a bad thing.
"In other words, we're all in the same boat now, right?"
Su Yi said with a smile. He was not worried about the Nie family's trading firm being suppressed. As long as he was here, it was impossible for the Nie family's trading firm to fail completely.
"Mm, we're all in the same boat."
"How about we form an alliance?"
Her eyes were bright as snow as she suggested.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment as he looked at Nie Ling with a sudden realization.
"Form an alliance?"
"Yes. At the same time, in the great desolate region, our Nie family can be your backer."
He looked at Nie Ling, and Nie Ling also looked at him. Their gazes met, but neither of them said anything.
After a short moment of silence, the two of them lightly laughed.
"Alright, it's decided then. I, Su Yi, will form an alliance with the Nie family."
...
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the branch of the Nie family.
"Where's the manager? Tell your manager to come out."
Nie ling shouted as soon as she entered the door.
This was a branch. Most of the servants and servants did not know him, but the manager knew him.
Soon, a gentle middle-aged woman walked out. When she saw Nie Ling, her eyes lit up.
"Miss, you're here."
"Yes, shopkeeper Wei, long time no see."
After the two of them greeted each other, shopkeeper Wei swept his gaze over Su Yi.
"This is?"
"Oh, this is an ally of our Nie family. His name is Su Yi. Shopkeeper Wei, you can get to know him. We're here today to obtain some information about central plains."
"Oh, oh, good. He's really a good-looking person. He's worthy."
With a strange expression on Su Yi's face, they walked into a room. There were all kinds of things inside, such as tea stools, which were used to entertain distinguished guests.
Soon, manager Wei came in with a document.
Su Yi opened it and took a look. It was a rough map of the great desolate region.
And the center of the map was the Great Wilderness Central Plains. Almost all the foundation establishment cultivators were in the Great Wilderness Central Plains.
The surroundings of the central plains were all suitable places for foundation establishment cultivators to cultivate.
This cultivation mystic realm was divided into three regions: Demon Subduing Mountain, Dark Abyss Cliff, and Giant Lizard Island.
Among them, Demon Subduing Mountain was in the east of the central plains, Dark Abyss Cliff was in the south of the central plains, and Giant Lizard Island was on an island in the west.
Demon Subduing Mountain was a cultivation mystic realm that was suitable for foundation establishment cultivators in the early stage. Dark Abyss Cliff was a cultivation mystic realm that was suitable for foundation establishment cultivators in the middle stage, and finally, Giant Lizard island was a cultivation mystic realm that was suitable for foundation establishment cultivators in the late stage.
He was slightly dazed. He thought he knew the general distribution of the central plains of the great desolate.
However, there was no news about the Tiandao sect on this map.
He asked, "Shopkeeper Wei, where is the Tiandao sect?"
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Wei slapped his forehead and exclaimed.
"Oh, look at my memory. It's very rare for people to ask about the Tiandao sect in the central plains of the great desolate. However, this is your first time here, so you might not know."
She continued, "the Tiandao sect is in the center of the central plains, the most important area of the central plains."
"The center of the central plains?"
He thought for a moment and was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by a hint.
[Hint: The monthly Dao treasure fishing activity has started.]
This...
Su Yi was stunned. He did not expect that the Dao treasure fishing would start at this time.
So he looked at shopkeeper Wei and asked, "shopkeeper Wei, is there a separate room here? I need a quiet place."
Nie Ling was also stunned. She did not expect him to say this suddenly.
Shopkeeper Wei looked at Nie Ling and saw her nodding.
"Of course there is. Please follow me."
Nie Ling smiled knowingly and said to Su Yi.
"You go ahead and cultivate. I'll go out and try to listen in on some news."
