A Chou rose from a messy gravel ground.

Over the years, he has been used to being knocked down by Su Chen, so he is not discouraged. He laughed and said a few words. He was a little tired of practicing martial arts, so he rested on the stone steps of the threshold of the City God Temple.

"So confident that I can achieve my strength?"

Su Chen smiled.

"Of course, I am the first-class mid-stage, and Brother Chen, you are the first-class late-stage peak realm, and the gap seems to be quite large. But if we practice to the first-class late-stage peak realm in this life, it will be almost over.

The hope of becoming a master is too slim, so we don’t expect it. As long as Brother Chen, you can’t step into the dantian and become a master, then I will sooner or later reach the peak level in the later stage and level your strength!”

Ah Chou patted his chest and said confidently.

Su Chen couldn't help but chuckled.

Yes, Ah Chou has solid foundation in the past four or five years and has already had a very skilled and superb martial arts level.

If he was not a master of his generation, he would be able to tie his strength with A Chou for about five to ten years. After all, if he is also at the peak of the late stage, there is only a quantity gap, and the essential gap is not very big.

Only the gap in the big realm seems insurmountable.

Just like, a second-rate master can easily crush a third-rate warrior after having true qi. A first-rate master can defeat a second-rate master with weak true qi with strong true qi.

Only when facing a generation of masters can first-class top experts appear weak and powerless.

The two chatted for a while in front of the City God's ruined temple.

When Su Chen thought of the immortal calligraphy skills he had practiced in the past few years, he couldn't help but sigh: "A Chou, do you think there are immortals in this world who are above a generation of masters?"

He always felt that he had vaguely touched a world of immortals that was far more magical than the world.

But he wanted to take another step forward, but it seemed out of reach.

Su Chen has never seen an immortal in his life. According to legend, the immortal has the power of moving mountains and seas, and the magical power of ascending in the sun, which makes people imagine infinite reverie.

However, although he had the immortal method of "Xiaoyao Youhuanshu", for some reason, he had not made any noise after practicing for three years, and he didn't know what was wrong.

On the contrary, the eight ordinary talismans and jade slips gained a little, and after three years, he found several "Golden Armored Lishi Talismans", which made him feel that this immortal book is not fake.

Su Chen suspected that the only person in Wujun who was closest to the realm of immortals should be Hanshan Zhenren.

The people of Wu County say that Hanshan Zhenren is powerful and the dragon is not at the end. He is the first miracle expert in Wu County.

But everyone in the world knows that this "outer of the world" actually refers to the number one master in the Grandmaster realm, not to say that Hanshan Zhenren is an immortal.

Hanshan Zhenren may know more about immortals than him.

But Su Chen took a volume of the immortal book "Xiaoyaoyou" from Director Qinghe's room, and he didn't dare to find Hanshan real person, so he couldn't hide.

Ah Chou thought seriously for a while before scratching his head and wondering: "Is there any immortal in this world? The storyteller in the teahouse in the county likes to tell some legends about immortals, saying that immortals can live forever, impart spirit talismans, drive flying swords, have vast magical powers, and have endless magical powers.

However, no one really saw immortals flying over our heads! What we people in the martial arts world emphasize is to see as reality, temper qi and blood, and cultivate true qi. These are real things. Unlike those storytellers and Taoists who like to make pretentious and make a fool of themselves, they boast about the power of immortals every day to fool the common people!”

Ah Chou obviously didn't think that there were real immortals in this world. Maybe there were, but it was also far away from the earthly world.

‘I have two or three talismans. But I am not an immortal, I am still far from it.’

Su Chen thought to himself that these words could only be kept in his stomach.

He stood up and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these illusory things. I've been bored in the villa these days and haven't entered the county town for a long time. Let's go and have a walk around. Tomorrow is Laba. Today's county town must be very lively. There are many snacks and pastries vendors, so let's buy some delicious food."

He brought a few taels of silver in his pocket, and he was well-off, so he was naturally not stingy.

"Okay, there is a newly opened roadside shop in the city, and the tofu flowers sold are very good!"

A Chou nodded happily, jumped up, patted his butt and headed towards Su Chen to Gusu County.

He has no money on his body. He has saved some spare money in his miscellaneous work over the years and has bought herbs to temper the body and replenish qi and practice. He is not willing to spend money on some pastries to eat.

It just so happened that I could follow Su Chen to go to the county town to eat and drink to relieve my cravings over the past few months.

...

The two of them entered Gusu County through the East City Gate.

Su Chen found that the streets of Gusu County were extremely lively, and vendors and barracks from towns could be seen everywhere, which was not uncommon.

What surprised him was that many famous tourists from other counties appeared in the county town, carrying swords and riding tall horses, showing off their aura and looking at them with ease.

Most of them have conspicuous gang logos, including the big gang Tianying Sect, Iron Sword Sect, the elders of the horse gang, the guardians, and even the top top experts at the hall master level.

There are also many disciples from small gangs and sects, second and third-rate disciples, either carrying packages or carrying swords and weapons.

It seems that they all rushed to Gusu City in a hurry.

Su Chen couldn't help but wonder.

In previous years, he also came to Gusu County to play for a day in Laba. There were not so many high-ranking tourists in the world, and there were at least seven or eight times more in front of him.

Seeing Su Chen's puzzled expression, A Chou couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Brother Chen, you have been in Yaowang Villa for several months and haven't come out. Haven't you heard of several major events happening in the world recently?"

"Oh, what big thing happened in the world?"

Su Chen was strange.

He has not left the villa in the past few months. In the past three years, he has been busy collecting spiritual materials in the thirteen counties of Wujun and rarely takes the initiative to ask about the affairs in the world.

The only major storm in the Wujun rivers and lakes that he had experienced personally was theft of the treasure book in Hanshan Taoist Temple, which almost alarmed all gangs and forces of all sizes. In addition, what he knew were small things like robber Ding Shisan, the robber, and it was not worth mentioning.

A Chou immediately talked about the latest monstrous case in the Wujun world in recent times.

Originally, more than ten years ago, the five major gangs in Wujun had similar strengths and were on par. However, in the past five or six years, the number of displaced refugees has increased significantly, and the Giant Whale Gang has gathered refugees in a large number, and its strength has skyrocketed and has surpassed the gangs.

"A few months ago, the Giant Whale Gang dispatched thousands of elite water bandits and robbed dozens of large official grain ships transported to the north. The entire Wu County gangs were shocked by the huge investments of the Giant Whale Gang."

"In the past, the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang only often robbed local wealthy businessmen and fishermen, and did not dare to attack the government. They just made small fuss in the local area. For the court, it was just a small local problem. Now the Giant Whale Gang has robbed a large number of official grains, which is openly an enemy of the court, which is similar to the conspiracy, and it is almost like a public rebellion!"

"The southern counties produce a lot of grain and are the big granaries for supplying the north. The giant whale helps openly rob a batch of official grain transported to the capital, which directly threatened the safety of the Grand Canal of the North and South, and even the safety of the capital."

"The court was furious, and the prefect of Wujun immediately brought thousands of elite naval officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang entrenched in Taihu Lake. However, underestimating the enemy, suppressing bandits was not good, and instead the soldiers were damaged. The prefect of Wujun had been dismissed and investigated by the court, and a large number of government officials fell."

"It is said that the court sent a new prefect to take charge of Wu County. But at present, the new prefect has not yet taken office, and the entire Wu County is in turmoil.

The thirteen county yamen under the jurisdiction of Wu County, the yamen runners and the Cheng Ding are weak in combat, and they cannot do anything to the Giant Whale Gang. Now even the Yamen runners and the Cheng Ding are guarding the county town and dare not stay away, so as not to be attacked by the Giant Whale Gang's water bandits."

"But fortunately, our Wujun also has four major gangs, including the Tianying Gate, the Iron Sword Gate, the Horse Gate and the Medicine King Gate, and their power is not weaker than the Giant Whale Gang. The main forces of the four gangs are all in or around each county, and they have always been incompatible with the Giant Whale Gang in the Underworld.

The Giant Whale Gang Water Band was afraid of the strength of the four major gangs and did not dare to attack major counties for the time being. Now, people in the Wujun River say that the great troubles of the Tang Dynasty today are not the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the northern and western regions. Therefore, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River have always had few soldiers and few generals.

The court was empty and could no longer subdue the thirteen counties of Wujun. From now on, this Wujun will be the world of our five major gangs in the Wujun world."

"In addition to the big case of 'Giant Whale Gang robbing official grain', there is a big impact."

"Hanshan Zhenren has returned to Hanshan Taoist Temple and came forward with the magistrate Wang County to hold the first Wu County Jianghu Conference in our Gusu County, inviting various gangs to discuss how to stabilize the chaotic Jianghu situation.

All the big and small gangs in Wujun will attend this Jianghu Conference. And the day of the conference will be scheduled tomorrow, on the night of Laba.

That's why you see that there are a large number of disciples from all walks of life and the world who have come from the thirteen counties of Wujun."

Ah Chou added fuel to the fire and said quickly with his saliva flying.

Su Chen then realized that this was the case and said in surprise: "Laba, isn't it tomorrow! All the gangs in Wujun will come to this Jianghu Conference? Will the water bandits from the Giant Whale Gang come too?"

"Hanshan Zhenren has a high prestige. He personally came forward to host this Jianghu Conference. Who can't give such a great face? Among the five major gangs in Wujun, except for the Giant Whale Gang and Water Bandits in the underworld, the other four major gangs, Tianying Gate, Iron Sword Gate, Horse Gang, and Medicine King Gang, all of them will participate.

I guess this Jianghu Conference should be planned to divide the territorial forces for each gang to avoid disputes. There are more small gangs and gangs in the thirteen counties of Wujun. They are definitely unwilling to be absent, and they will almost come to Gusu City to join in the fun. This is the first big gathering of Wujun Jianghu gangs in hundreds of years, and it is rare to see them in their lifetime!"

A Chou said excitedly.

"oh!"

Su Chen nodded slightly.

The water bandits of the gang of the gang were wanted by the government and were not in line with the Baidao Gang, so naturally they were not invited by the Jianghu Conference, which was expected.

This at least shows that the black and white ties of the rivers and lakes are still as powerful as water and fire.

If the water bandits also appeared openly at the Jianghu Conference, the sky in Wujun might have changed a lot.

Su Chen was a little surprised and thought carefully about what impact such a major event in the world would have on his situation.

He found that such a big thing in the world, but no turmoil occurred in his heart.

In the past three years, he felt that he had changed a lot and was a little worried about these lively major events in the world.

For Su Chen, there is a new magical world in the immortal book, which makes him intoxicated by the cultivation techniques of "Xiaoyaoyou", trying every means to collect spiritual materials, unravel the mystery of each spiritual talisman, and enjoy it.

It was a world that was far more wonderful than the world.

Su Chen can only barely see the edge of immortal cultivation now. Seeing that the Immortal Mountain is in a vague place not far ahead, it is shrouded in fog and cannot go further. He is extremely itchy.
