Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 272 Fufeng City

Fufeng City is a lawless city located on the border of Huozhou, adjacent to Tianxianzhou and Kunzhou. As a result, the city has always been in chaos, with all sorts of disorder happening all the time.

Some monks fought in the street, blood splattering everywhere, causing passersby to flee in panic; some merchants forced buyers and sellers to buy and sell, bullying the weak; and some gangs clashed fiercely in the streets and alleys for territory, with shouts of killing deafening the heavens.

Shi An and Yun Xi concealed their presence and entered the city discreetly.

According to the information Lin Feng provided, there is a Tianxian Academy outpost in Fufeng City, which is a shortcut to the Tianxian Academy.

"Be careful."

Shi An grasped Yun Xi's hand and cautiously looked around.

Along the street, many sinister eyes were secretly observing the young couple with their extraordinary demeanor, but perhaps because of Shi An's powerful aura, they dared not make a move for the time being.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a sound of wind and thunder came from the sky, and at the same time, the sound of hooves pounded, like war drums beating in everyone's hearts, making their blood rush and their hearts feel like they were about to burst.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's horror, two enormous red dragons swooped down, raising their heads and roaring, their voices shaking the heavens and earth, their aura extremely powerful.

They landed on the ground and appeared on the street, but instantly shed their dragon forms and transformed into two tall, pure red horses, as red as blood diamonds, clearly divine steeds!
This caused many creatures to gasp in shock and cry out in alarm.

"It's the Crimson Dragon Steed from Shenya Academy!"

"Shenya Academy only has four or five Crimson Dragon Steeds in total, and two of them have appeared today. What a grand gesture!"

The Crimson Dragon Steed is said to be a descendant of a true dragon, possessing dragon blood within its body. It can chase the wind and lightning and is the most supreme mount in the world.

Shenya Academy is an academy that is almost as famous as Tianxian Academy. It is said that its academy cave has 100,000 ancient cliffs, which is the cave where ancient immortals attained enlightenment.

Moreover, there is a Blood Dragon Pool within it, which can give birth to several crimson dragon steeds in each lifetime, making cultivators all over the world extremely envious.

The divine steed stands proudly, capable of soaring into the sun and moon, and traversing the starry sky. Its own strength is also formidable enough that once it grows up, it will not be weaker than its master. It is an extremely powerful creature.

At this moment, on each of the two dragon steeds, there was a man and a woman.

Among them, the man was tall and heroic, wearing a suit of crimson-gold armor, accompanied by runes and divine light, like a god-king, exuding a commanding aura.

As for the woman, she also had a stunning figure, with flowing purple hair that cascaded down her shoulders. Beneath her hair, her phoenix eyes were deep and dreamlike. She was also clad in crimson and gold armor, exuding a heroic and radiant aura, like a female war goddess.

These two are clearly exceptional individuals, both outstanding and possessing extraordinary charisma.

"These are the two unparalleled geniuses of Shenya Academy. What are they doing here?"

Someone recognized them.

These two are extraordinary, possessing primordial true blood within their bodies. They are the first generation, surpassing all others in the world, and their strength is extremely powerful.

However, what truly surprised Shi An and Yun Xi was someone else.

The person was flawless, like a fairy from the moon palace who was untouched by worldly affairs.

"Brother An, I don't know why, but that person gave me a feeling of déjà vu."

Looking at that person, Yunxi frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.

Shi An also saw the woman, and not only that, he also knew her identity, but he did not explain to Yun Xi at this time, because there were too many people and too much gossip here.

Therefore, after a brief examination, Shi An gently grasped Yun Xi's delicate hand and whispered, "Perhaps she just resembles one of our old acquaintances!" "Oh!"

Although Shi An didn't explain anything, Yun Xi understood from the gesture in his hand that her intuition was correct; she knew that person.

Just then, someone pointed out the woman's identity.

"This fairy must be Qingyi, another prodigy from the Celestial Academy!"

"It is said that she has only been in the academy for a year, but her talent is so profound that she is no less than the first generation of geniuses in the academy, Feng Wu, who is renowned for a long time. There are even rumors that the two have become very close sisters."

Many people were surprised that Qingyi was a rising star of the Celestial Academy. In just one year, she became famous throughout the three states of Huozhou, Celestial Academy, and Kunzhou. She was the most stunning girl in the academy in recent years.

Soon, Qingyi and the two prodigies from Shenya Academy left and entered a mansion in the city, clearly having something to discuss. Several powerful auras were lurking around them.

Looking at the mansion, Shi An and Yun Xi couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

If they weren't mistaken, that mansion should be the base of the Heavenly Immortal Academy in Fufeng City.

The problem now is that there are clearly two factions discussing important matters inside the mansion, and they probably won't be able to get close in the short term.

With this in mind, the two were not discouraged. Instead, they found a nearby teahouse to rest and wait.

Before they knew it, another half hour had passed. Suddenly, the central square of Fufeng City was brightly lit, and then a tall woman in a golden dress with an elegant demeanor stepped out from it.

Feng Wu from Tianxian Academy arrived and entered the mansion for further discussions.

Soon after, the matter was settled, and the two academies reached a preliminary agreement, each getting what they needed.

However, the clues provided by the Celestial Academy only pointed to a ruin, which was full of dangers, and whether they could obtain the Great Crimson Heavenly Fire was still unknown.

The Divine Cliff Academy only provided a very small piece of ore, which came from the academy's ruins and contained only a portion of seven-colored immortal gold, insufficient to forge seven divine arrows.

This is astonishing. Logically, this should be a secret between the two parties, but now it has become the talk of the town. It is unclear whether this is a smokescreen or an attempt to sabotage each other and not want to keep the secret.
Immediately afterwards, news spread that it came from Tianxian Academy.

They issued a bounty to all mercenary groups and independent cultivators: whoever could discover whether there was Seven-Colored Immortal Gold in one of the forbidden areas they provided would receive a generous reward—a day and a night of soaking in a divine pool planted with Tribulation-Transcending Lotus.

Furthermore, all that is needed is to provide concrete evidence and clues proving that there is Seven-Colored Immortal Gold there, without actually mining it.

Because the location of the immortal gold must be a hidden place with strange phenomena, it is a forbidden place. Even if you die nine times out of ten, it is difficult to take it out. Otherwise, why has the seven-colored immortal gold only been unearthed a few times in ancient times?

Upon hearing this news, all living beings in Fufeng City fell into a brief silence, which was followed by bursts of noise and commotion.

"The Tribulation-Transcending Divine Lotus?! The Celestial Immortal Academy is actually willing to open up such a divine object?!"

"That is a supreme holy medicine that can help people undergo a complete transformation and cleanse their foundation!"

The Tribulation-Crossing Divine Lotus is a true divine medicine. Once it matures, its flowers and leaves will dissolve in the Immortal Pool, turning into sacred elixir, leaving only the roots and stems to regenerate.

Its divine pool contains medicinal power sufficient to cleanse one's marrow and bones, rebuild one's foundation, and there are even rumors that it can help people defy fate!

This is a heaven-defying thing. It is said that in the entire Three Thousand Dao Continents, only the Heavenly Immortal Academy has one, making the gods of various sects envious and eyeing it relentlessly.

In an instant, discussions arose in taverns and teahouses. The cultivators' eyes gleamed with greed and madness as they began to plot how to accept the bounty.
