Shangqiu City was a medium-sized city under the rule of the Great Ming Prefecture. It was close to the boundary of the Bian Yang Prefecture and was a transit point for the distribution of resources between the two prefectures. Many wandering cultivator organizations liked to sell the beast crystals and spirit medicines they had hunted here.

A few days ago, an elegant Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion opened on the main street of East Shangqiu City. Nearly a hundred beautiful female cultivators in uniform stood on the street, immediately attracting the attention of passers-by.

This Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion sold everything. Spiritual medicines, magic treasures, equipment, accessories, spirit fruits, fine wine, and even rouge powder were all sold. Furthermore, there was a "grand opening reward" activity. All of the items were 30% cheaper than elsewhere. The price was cheap and the quality was good. Instantly, there was a crazy rush to buy them. I heard that the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion filled 500,000 Spiritual Crystals in a single day in order to organize this activity. Ten days was five million Spiritual Crystals.

What kind of power is this big?

Unsuspecting xiuzhe inquired. Only then did they know that the backer force of the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion was originally the newly rising Heavenly Phoenix Sect in Secluded Sun City. They heard that the Heavenly Phoenix Sect was originally only a third-or fourth-rate force. Later, under the leadership of Sect Master Chu Jun, they destroyed the second-rate Chaos Pavilion and rose to prominence. Along with the excavation of the gossip masses, the legends of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect emerged one after another. For example, if the Heavenly Phoenix Sect Master was able to invite the Immortal Cultivation Guild, it would have countless connections with the upper echelons of the Immortal Cultivation Guild. The Heavenly Phoenix Sect took over the entrance of the Chaos Pavilion, and the next day, they dug out hundreds of billions of spirit ore veins nearby. Heavenly Phoenix Sect's Sect Master Chu Jun and Zhao Yu won the first and second place in Chongming Island 's rising stars in one fell swoop. Heavenly Phoenix Sect Master Chu Jun had an affair with the palace hall

In short, the gossip about the Heavenly Phoenix Sect and Chu Jun flooded the streets and alleys of Shangqiu City. Regardless of whether the rumors were good or bad, the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion was a guest that came like a cloud. It was worth mentioning that everyone knew that the backer of the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion was the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, but the helmsman was a charming beauty. Many people came to the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion to see for themselves the exceptional beauty of this powerful woman in the business world.

In the backyard of the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion, Li Xiangjun, dressed in purple, held a charcoal pen in her hand and wrote on the paper. There were some strange symbols and characters written on it. Her black hair was combed into a horse bun. A hairpin made of tungsten was decorated with a green jade east pearl the size of a longan. It was worth no less than 100,000 spirit crystals. Incense Chief Li, who respected enjoyment, would never treat her unfairly. The clothes she wore together were worth at least a million yuan.

Li Xiangjun's charming eyes stared at the paper, her slender waist tied tightly, her proud pair of edges almost resting on the table. The plump buttocks wrapped under her skirt sat on the chair, becoming more and more round and attractive. The beautiful curve made people imagine flaws.

After nearly two hours, Li Xiangjun put down the charcoal pen and lazily pounded on the slightly sour waist with her left hand. She picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea. Her beautiful eyes muttered to herself, "I really don't understand how that little man's brain is able to come up with such a simple and practical method of keeping accounts … Arabic numbers? Elder Uncle Allah?"

Pu! Li Xiangjun chuckled and suddenly looked at Lotus outside the window in a daze. "It has been almost a year in the blink of an eye. Isn't it going to be a hundred years in the eighteen floors? I wonder how many floors they have reached now!"

It had been almost ten months since Chu Jun left Chongming Island, and Li Xiangjun had not been idle these days. She had been busy with the operation of the Spiritual Fragrance Pavilion every day. At present, the eight cities of the Great Ming Manor all have semicolons of the Spirit Fragrance Pavilion, In just a year, the number of Spirit Fragrance Pavilions had explosively increased from two to twenty. Moreover, most of them were on the right track and were starting to make profits. The Spirit Fragrance Pavilion's operating funds could be self-sufficient, at least it didn't have to make Li Youyin worry all day long.

It was no wonder that Chu Jun had ordered the entire sect to give full support to Stai and Lan Qi'er in building the Myriad Formation before leaving. Most of the spirit crystals produced by the two spirit mines were spent like flowing water. Li Xiangjun urged for spirit crystals again. Naturally, Fatty Li's head turned pale. Seeing that the spirit crystals produced by the spirit mines were gone before they could cover the heat, Fatty Li shivered in pain.

When Li Xiangjun thought of the toothache that General Manager Li felt when he saw him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. His charming manner, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, made one's heart skip a beat.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open without warning. A little girl made of pink carved jade sprinkled her feet and ran in. Her long golden hair was tied in a bun and she wore a blue skirt.

"Sister Xiangjun, when will father come back?" As soon as the little girl entered, her pair of azure eyes widened and she asked in a childish voice.

Li Xiangjun couldn't help but have a headache and tug at her temples. Only this lawless little fellow would barge in here without knocking on the door.

"Beauty, how many times have I taught you? I have to knock on the door before I come in!"

The little girl blinked innocently, "The door is unlocked!"

"You have to knock on the door even if you don't lock it. You have to be a good child who knows how to be polite. Only then will daddy like it. Do you understand?"

The little girl lovingly stuck out her tongue, turned around and quickly slipped out to close the door. Then, she knocked on the door and asked in a childish voice, "Sister Xiangjun, can beauty come in?"

Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "Come in … Ugh!"

As soon as Li Xiangjun finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open with a bang. The little girl ran into the room and said with a smile, "Sister Xiangjun, when will Daddy come back?"

Li Xiangjun rubbed her eyebrows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Big sister doesn't know when your father will be back!"

The little girl's face immediately collapsed, and she lowered her head in low spirits!

Li Xiangjun walked out from behind the table, picked up the little girl and kissed her. She smiled and comforted, "Your father will be back soon. He will definitely be very happy to see the little beauty transform!"

The little girl was instantly happy again. She opened her pair of blue eyes wide and asked in a crisp voice, "Really?"

"Definitely!" Li Xiangjun nodded and took out a fifth-grade fire-type beast crystal from her storage belt. It emitted dense fire-type energy.

The little girl's eyes immediately lit up. She reached out her chubby hand and snatched the beast crystal. She kissed Li Xiangjun on the face and sweetly shouted, "Thank you, Sister Xiangjun!"

Li Xiangjun patted the little girl's butt and said, "Go out and play. Sister Xiangjun will be busy for a while!"

"Oh!" The little girl obediently ran out of the room, not forgetting to swallow the Class 5 Beast Crystal in one mouthful.

If outsiders saw this, their jaws would probably drop in fear. One had to know that the energy in the beast crystal was extremely violent. Not to mention the fifth grade beast crystal, even if it was a first grade beast crystal, if they swallowed it like this, they would die. However, the blonde girl in front of her not only ate the Class 5 Beast Crystal, but also licked her lips afterwards, patted her stomach, and jumped away.

This little blonde girl was the little beauty of the Pillfeather Fire Phoenix. Back then, Chu Jun had left her behind to protect Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun loved it so much that she was afraid that she would starve it. She had spent a lot of money to buy a large number of fourth-grade beast crystals, even fifth-grade beast crystals. In the past year, the amount of spirit crystals she had spent on buying beast crystals was close to thirty to forty million. The happy Little Fire Phoenix had plenty of food, and in the end, it only took half a year for it to transform. Its current strength was almost equal to that of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Judging from its posture, Little Fire Phoenix probably wouldn't need to wait until she reached adulthood to reach the sixth level, that is, the strength of a Spirit Refining Stage cultivator.

The father that Little Fire Phoenix spoke of was naturally Chu Jun. Because when it was born, the first person it saw was Chu Jun, so in its heart, Chu Jun was its father.

Li Xiangjun sent the little beauty away and was about to continue settling the accounts when a female cultivator with a dark fragrance walked in with a panicked expression and bowed, "Incense Master, there is urgent information!"

"What is it?" Li Xiangjun put down the charcoal pen and asked.

"This is bad. The demon army has raided the northwest of You Ling Continent, Great Sun City has fallen, Nether Desolate Island has also been occupied by the demon army, and four of the nine ships carrying troops on the Nine Continents have escaped …!"

Li Xiangjun's expression changed drastically. It was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Her mind was blank. She shook her body a few times before holding the table. She took a few deep breaths and asked in a deep voice, "How did the military of You Ling Continent react?"

"The army of You Ling Continent is gathering towards the northwest. The troops of Bing Yun Continent are also beginning to surround the east. Both sides are attacking!"

"Damn it! Which idiot is leading the army of the demon race? It's actually … wrong … the demon race can't do such a stupid thing. What are their intentions?"

"Incense Master, what should we do now? The Sect Master is still on the 18th floor!"

Li Xiangjun's expression changed as she closed the ledger and said, "Let's go back to the mountain first!"

Secluded Sun City.

Within the meeting hall of the Gong Clan, several clan masters gathered. The clan head, Gong Wuque, sat high in the main seat. Below him were a few Nascent Soul elders of the Gong Clan. As the young master of the Gong Clan, Gong Zhengwu was naturally present as well.

Gong Wuque's gaze swept across the crowd like lightning and said unhurriedly, "I just received news that the demon army has raided You Ling Continent and occupied Great Sun City!"

A few elders of the Gong Clan couldn't help but be moved. One of the elders was shocked and said, "The demon army is actually so tyrannical. Did they hit You Ling Continent?"

Gong Wuque tapped his finger on the table and muttered, "The demon army is locked in a stalemate with the army of Frozen Continent on the glacier line of Frozen Continent. It's really unexpected to split up troops and attack You Ling Continent, but it makes sense. However, the location of the surprise attack is Da Ri City between Frozen Continent and You Ling Continent. It's really stinky to have a lonely army!"

"Is there any conspiracy on the part of the demon army?" Another elder asked doubtfully.

Gong Zhengwu said nonchalantly, "No matter what conspiracy it has, You Ling Continent is hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from us. No matter how hard we fight, we will not be able to reach You Ri City!"

The old fellows nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, the Nether Desolate Island has already fallen under the control of the demons. Even if Du Wu and Chu Jun managed to pass through the eighteenth floor, they would still be surrounded by the demons!" Gong Zhengwu gloated. This guy didn't make it into the top five of the Great Ming Manor, so he naturally didn't have the qualifications to enter the eighteenth floor. At this moment, he heard that the Nether Desolate Island on the eighteenth floor was occupied by the demon army. He gloated and secretly rejoiced in his misfortune.

Everyone in the hall smiled when they heard this. Gong Wuque smiled and said, "If Du Wu falls on Nether Island, it will save the First Prince a lot of trouble!"

"Father, if both Chu Jun and Du Wu perish, then the Heavenly Phoenix Sect will have nothing to rely on. Those two spirit mines" Gong Zhengwu said, "If you have a hand quickly, then you won't have a hand slowly!"

Gong Wuque's eyes lit up!
