Although Xu Qing could support the god form of the first divine repository, the second layer of the god form required the flesh of Crimson Goddess to provide nutrients. This consumption could be endured for a short period, but it couldn't be maintained for a long time.
Not to mention the third layer of god form.
"I have to find a way to change this."
Xu Qing pondered. Before he came to the Imperial City, he had asked his master this question. Old Master Seventh's reply was that he could find the answer in the Imperial City.
"Where is this answer?"
Xu Qing looked at the sky. After a while, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
Just like that, days passed. Half a month later, the forces that were paying attention to Xu Qing gradually decreased. Xu Qing hadn't left the mansion in the past half a month.
As for what happened between Xu Qing and the Tenth Prince, it was naturally known by everyone. In fact, the Tenth Prince even sneered many times at the banquet, his words containing intense hostility toward Xu Qing.
In addition, there was another important thing that was also the source of the attention of the various forces.
There was a change in the war against the Black Heaven Race a few days ago. The reason was that a prince of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race had been invited to the Black Heaven Race's Imperial Capital.
This matter was extremely sensitive, and the war between the two sides also stopped. The atmosphere became tense.
As for Zi Xuan and the captain, Xu Qing rarely saw them in this half a month. Most of the time, Xu Qing would meditate alone in the courtyard.
This lasted until dusk on this day when two old friends of Xu Qing arrived outside Ning Yan's residence. After the report was made, the two of them were led into the courtyard by the Sword Holder.
"Xu Qing, long time no see, haha." As soon as they saw Xu Qing, one of them smiled and sat on a stone chair at the side as though they were close friends.
The other person was a little reserved and bowed to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing opened his eyes and his gaze landed on the two of them. He recalled slightly and recognized them.
"Brother Meng, Brother Huang."
The reserved one was the Sword Holder, Huang Kun, and the person who acted familiar with him was Meng Yunbai.
Xu Qing had seen these two at the Seventh Prince's banquet back then, especially Meng Yunbai, the grandson of the Supreme Commander. At that time, he had sat beside Xu Qing at the banquet and introduced everyone to him. The two of them also communicated more than the others.
"Haha, when I saw you back then, I could sense that your future was boundless, and that we would meet again."
"As expected, we met here in the Imperial City."
"I wanted to meet you for the past half a month, but my family didn't let me. The other parties were also paying attention. Now that there are changes in the war with the Black Heaven Race, the attention of everyone is on the battle. I'm finally allowed to contact you."
Meng Yunbai's personality was the same as what he had displayed at the banquet. He was carefree and could say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly pointed out the essence.
Huang Kun also nodded.
"This is also the reason why the Sword Holding Palace here didn't meet you. Actually, many Sword Holders want to interact more with you, Xu Qing…"
Meng Yunbai blinked and spoke mysteriously.
"Huang Kun and I were invited to the Mortal World Tower today. We thought of you and came to invite you. How about it, Xu Qing? Do you want to go for a drink?"
"Let me tell you, that Mortal World Tower is a good place. You've heard of the ten super sects of the human race, right? The Mortal World Forgetful Tower is the Mortal World Tower I mentioned."
"This sect is different from other sects. Most of the disciples are female cultivators. They cultivate the state of transcending worldly affairs. But to transcend worldly affairs, you must first be immersed in the world; to forget worldly concerns, you must delve into them."
"Therefore, they possess opened Mortal World Towers in many places. The prices are ridiculous and at the same time, there are requirements for one's status and cultivation. Those who don't meet the requirements are not allowed to enter no matter what.
Basically, my monthly allowance will be finished if I just go there once. While we are having fun inside, the Mortal World Tower's disciples are also cultivating."
"However, they only sell their skills, not their bodies, and no one dares to use force. Both sides possess to treat each other with respect. This is because it's rumored that this tower worships gods. Their god is the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race's Star Flame High God."
"As for the female cultivators in this building, each of them is of top standards and their figures are extremely alluring. At the same time, if we possess our own charm, engaging in dual cultivation with them will lead to mutual bliss in this mortal world."
Meng Yunbai licked his lips, his heart burning with passion. Seeing that Xu Qing wasn't interested and seemed like he was about to refuse, he tried to persuade him.
"In addition, the host of today's meeting is the imperial son of the Star Emperor Supreme Sect. He's the descendant of the Starry Sky Great Emperor. I think that since you've come to the Imperial City, you can be considered to be in its vortex. Even if you plan to stay aloof, it's naturally good to possess more friends in the Imperial City. You can also take this opportunity to make your own observations and perceive many things clearly."
Xu Qing fell silent. Meng Yunbai's words made sense. Regarding the various parties in the Imperial City, he indeed had to observe them. Only then could he create a comprehensive judgment.
Moreover, Meng Yunbai had warmly invited him. After some thought, Xu Qing nodded slightly and stood up to walk out of the residence with Meng Yunbai and Huang Kun.
On the way, Meng Yunbai continued to talk, introducing the customs of the Imperial City to Xu Qing. His words combined with the information Xu Qing understood previously allowed Xu Qing to possess a better understanding of the Imperial City.
When dusk passed and the sky gradually darkened, not only did the crowd not decrease, but there were even more people.
The night life was equally exciting in this Imperial Capital. In the western part of the city, there was a courtyard with luxurious style, shining with gold and jade. Inside, there were artificial hills and flowing water, and occasionally the sounds of orioles and swallows could be heard.
