"Please sit, Lord Longfei."
Li Wen spoke while pouring a cup of tea for Long Fei.
"Please have some tea!"
Although Long Fei was merely a minor lord of Dragon City, he might not be able to produce anything too valuable.
But today he hadn't made a single deal yet, and he urgently needed some Heavenly Dao points. As the saying goes, even a mosquito is still meat.
This amount of Heavenly Dao points, Li Wen decided to earn it first before thinking further.
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
The Lord of Longcheng City hurriedly bowed and scraped, allowing such a venerable senior to pour tea for him?
He didn't think he had the ability to bear this honor.
"Please, you go first, senior!"
Li Wen laughed heartily, casually finishing the tea in his cup. Jun Yao, who was waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward and respectfully refilled his tea.
Long Fei's entire attention was on Li Wen at that moment. When he saw someone bringing him tea, he instinctively accepted it graciously.
But when the corner of his eye swept over the latter, he was immediately startled and stumbled.
Isn't this the attire of the inner disciples of Feiyun Sect?
An inner disciple of the prestigious Feiyun Sect is actually serving as a maid for the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion?
The master of the Tianji Pavilion truly acts in a manner that is profound and unfathomable!
"There's no need to be so polite, Fairy. I can handle it myself," Long Fei hurriedly cupped his hands towards Jun Yao.
The master of the Tianji Pavilion can use her as a maid, how could a mere city lord have such courage?
Jun Yao did not entangle with him too much, merely placing the teacup on the table in front of Long Fei, then respectfully stepped aside.
Name: Long Fei
[Snob: Lord of Longcheng]
Cultivation: Spirit Platform Ninth Heaven
[Magical Artifacts: Earth-tier Meteor Hammer, Butterfly Sword; Quasi-Heaven-tier One Qi Universe Pouch]
Cultivation Technique: Righteous Fiery Sun
[Purpose: To seek the protection of the Tianji Pavilion]
Li Wen frowned, seeking refuge..
He now relies entirely on the barrier of the Tianji Pavilion to be invincible in a roundabout way. Without the protection of this barrier, he would merely be a minor cultivator in the Pulse Opening Realm.
Even if one isn't struck dead by the heavenly tribulation, they still lack the ability to protect a city.
"Lord of Dragon City, I am aware of your intentions this time, but I am afraid I am powerless to help."
Long Fei's face instantly turned pale.
"This... why?"
Before he even spoke, this senior already knew his intentions, clearly possessing real skills.
But since the other party possesses such divine powers, why are they unwilling to protect Dragon City?
"Senior... could it be that you look down on my humble abode?" Long Fei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Li Wen shook his head, "Not at all!"
If he had the ability, Li Wen would naturally want to protect Longcheng completely.
After all, Dragon City was his stronghold at this time. If Dragon City were destroyed, even if the Tianji Pavilion remained intact, it would likely be difficult to attract casual visitors.
After all, it was the place where he made his home and livelihood; if he had the ability, he would naturally protect Dragon City.
But now he was beyond his own control. Not to mention guarding Dragon City, he couldn't even manage to leave the Tianji Pavilion.
"Please rest assured, elder. Although Longcheng is just a small, impoverished town, the resources I have accumulated over the years are quite substantial. I have even managed to acquire a section of the legendary ten-thousand-year-old spring wood."
Long Fei's Gift: A segment of the Eternal Spring Wood, twenty pieces of Earth-tier magical treasures, techniques, elixirs, and spirit stones, totaling forty thousand Heavenly Dao points. Would you like to proceed with the exchange?
Forty thousand?!
Li Wen raised his eyebrows, but no matter how much he was given, he didn't have the ability to protect Longcheng! [Stone tablet, is there a way to protect Longcheng?]
The method of protection is as follows—
Suspended City: One Million Heavenly Dao Points
Ancient Guardian: Eight Hundred Thousand Heavenly Dao Points
Hidden; Five Hundred Thousand Heavenly Dao Points
Myriad Phenomena Dragon Formation: Three Million Heavenly Dao Points
Purple Meteor Killing Array: Two Million Heavenly Dao Points
Li Wen's eyes suddenly lit up; there were so many methods.
Right, the formation!
Even if he couldn't leave the Tianji Pavilion, as long as he used the formation to cover the city, he could still achieve the effect of protecting Dragon City.
Li Wen: [Stone Tablet: How many Heavenly Dao points are needed for the cheapest city protection formation?]
Three Thousand Sword Killing Formation: Capable of withstanding attacks from ordinary longevity experts, requires twenty thousand Heavenly Dao points.
This is it.
Long Fei saw that Li Wen hadn't responded for a long time and let out a long sigh. As expected, the scrap metal he brought couldn't catch the eye of the master of Tianji Pavilion.
"Today's matter was truly my own wishful thinking. I apologize for any disturbance caused. I shall take my leave now."
Long Fei cupped his hands towards Li Wen, then stood up and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Li Wen suddenly waved his hand: "Lord Long, I just said that I am unwilling to personally protect Long City, but I never said I am unwilling to help you protect Long City."
"What do you mean?"
Long Fei's heart immediately began to race, his eyes filled with a look of surprise and delight.
Li Wen's finger lightly tapped in mid-air, and the two large carts of gifts that had just been piled up at the entrance of the Tianji Pavilion were instantly converted into Heavenly Dao points.
"What is this?"
Li Wen smiled faintly, and immediately, his right hand, which was raised in mid-air, was suddenly enveloped by strands of pale blue spiritual light.
The palm slowly opened, and a spirit map the size of a hand suddenly appeared in the center of his palm.
The map depicted the topography of Dragon City, with numerous dense markings at various key points. These markings were then intricately connected in a very orderly manner.
In the darkness, it seemed as if a massive barrier had formed, enveloping the entire Dragon City without leaving a single corner untouched.
Seeing this mystical diagram, even Long Fei, who didn't understand formations, broke out in a fine sweat on his forehead.
"Senior... could this be a sacred formation capable of resisting an immortal realm cultivator?"
Saint-level formation?!
Upon hearing this, Jun Yao's gaze was immediately drawn over.
Li Wen touched his nose and said, "It would be more accurate to call it a quasi-saint level formation. While it can withstand attacks from cultivators in the Longevity Realm, it can only fend off attacks from ordinary Longevity Realm cultivators. If it were to encounter a powerful being at the eighth or ninth level of the Longevity Realm, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to stop them."
Taking the formation diagram, Long Fei felt his hands trembling. Although the ten-thousand-year spring wood he had collected was extremely rare, a saint-level formation, even if it was just a quasi-saint, was absolutely priceless and unattainable.
"This... Senior, this is really too valuable, I can't accept it!"
Jun Yao looked at the formation diagram in Li Wen's hand with utter astonishment.
Just as Long Fei said. This formation diagram is indeed precious.
You should know that even the protective formation used by the Feiyun Sect is merely a peak-level Heaven-tier formation, yet the master of the Tianji Pavilion casually handed out such an unparalleled formation diagram.
The master of the Tianji Pavilion, just how many secrets are still hidden?
This matter must be reported to the master. If Feiyun Sect can also install a holy-level mountain protection array, then even if the Tiansha Sect launches a full-scale attack, Feiyun Sect will have nothing to fear.
Li Wen said softly, "Take it!"
"During this period, there will likely be many experts coming and going in Dragon City. Without setting up such an array, I'm afraid the Lord of Dragon City won't be able to sleep peacefully."
Taking a deep breath, Long Fei finally nodded.
With such a protective formation, Dragon City will likely become the safest city within a thousand miles.
"Thank you, elder. If there is ever a time in the future when you need my assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. I will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"
Li Wen nodded: "Let's set up the formation as soon as possible."
Long Fei respectfully responded and took his leave from the Tianji Pavilion.
Han Yun had been waiting outside the Tianji Pavilion for a long time. When he saw Long Fei come out, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "City Lord, how did it go? Is the senior inside the Tianji Pavilion willing to help us?"
"Han Yun, go and prepare these materials immediately. I want to turn Dragon City into the most fortified city of the Northern Flame Dynasty before sunset today!"
"Additionally, a notice was posted: Flying is prohibited within Dragon City. Violators will bear the consequences!"
"Yes!"
