In the vast waters of hundreds of miles, there are large and small islands, and on these islands, there are some hermits' caves or villas.

  The streets here are winding and curved, formed according to the terrain. Looking far away, you can see the vast waters and the islands scattered on it.

  This is Tianhu City, Tianhu City was built on a piece of land with an area of thousands of miles, and Tianhu City is in the center of this piece of land. The 72 main islands in this piece of land were built into a circle to form a city, which only occupies one-tenth of the area of this piece of land. There are still hundreds of large and small islands distributed outside the city.

  At this time, Li Hui and Lou Sui Feng were walking on the main street of the largest island in the center of Tianhu City.

  The two of them have been in Tianhu City for ten days now.

  After arriving at Tianhu City, the two quickly came to the city's garrison and, with the assistance of the garrison, spent ten days capturing those who were hiding in an island outside the city and plundering the Ling Stone mine.

  After a round of interrogation, Li Hui surprisingly found that more than half of the people in this gang were also cultivators from Chuzhou like him. They had escaped here after being occupied by the demon cultivators in Chuzhou, but lost contact with their original sect and became loose cultivators.

  These people, after losing the support of their sect, had a hard time. They relied on hunting some demon beasts in this vast wilderness to exchange for materials and occasionally did some banditry against other cultivators. This time, they even joined forces with some other scattered cultivators to rob a spiritual stone mine.

  Li Hui also had some regrets in his heart. The cultivators from Chu State had actually fallen to such a state.

  However, Li Hui would naturally not show any mercy because of this. He led the city guards and the monks to kill all those who resisted arrest, while capturing others alive, none escaped.

  Then he handed over the task to the Shenfengying branch in Tianhu City. At this time, there were already 5,000 merit points in the Silver Commandment, which means that Li Hui can be carefree for at least five years without having to go to the Shenfengying to receive tasks. Of course, if Li Hui wants to get more merit points, he can always go and execute tasks.

  After completing the task, both of them felt relieved. Lou Feng suggested, "Li Hui, now that this task is finally over, I should play the host and treat you well in Tianhu City."

  Li Hui's heart moved, he had originally wanted to find a way to get some methods for cultivating spiritual beasts from the Lou family, and that crocodile dragon couldn't hatch for a long time, Li Hui also had some doubts in his heart, suspecting whether his method was problematic. At this time, he would not refuse Lou Suifeng's invitation.

  "Alright, then take me for a stroll around this Heavenly Lake City." Li Hui said with a calm smile.

  That divine beast's method, although Li Hui wanted to obtain it, he also understood that this was likely one of the Lou family's untransmitted secrets, and naturally wouldn't casually open his mouth to ask Lou Suifeng for it. He had come here just to try his luck, to see if he could get some guidance from a superior, and whether he could solve the problem of the dragon egg's incubation, all depended on fate.

  "Why don't we go to my place first and settle down, then I'll take you to some interesting places in the city?" Lou Suifeng suggested.

  Li Hui naturally had no opinion on this and nodded in agreement.

  He immediately rose into the air and, guided by the wind, flew towards an island in the northwest.

  The sword hovered in mid-air, overlooking the entire Tianhu City. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of water with islands of various sizes scattered about. Some of the closer islands were connected by bridges, while those farther away used ferries to travel between them. This was naturally for the convenience of those Qi Refining stage cultivators who did not know how to fly.

  "This city has a total of 72 islands, but in fact, there are only about ten larger ones. Excluding the large island at the center of the city, our Lou family occupies three out of the remaining nine larger islands, and also occupies two smaller islands that are slightly inferior to these larger ones."

  Li Hui secretly sighed at the power of the Lou family, which almost occupied one-third of the territory of Tianhu City.

  "Our family is divided into five branches, with this branch being in the center. The other four branches are located to the east, west, north and south of our branch. Among them, the western and northern branches occupy two large islands, while the eastern and southern branches are smaller. My home is within the western branch."

  "On this day in Hucheng, almost all of the large shopping districts were properties of our Lou family, but they are managed separately by the five government offices." Lou Suifeng continued to introduce.

  Li Hui was shocked, the power of this building's household was truly beyond his imagination.

  "In this city of lakes, there are quite a few interesting places, the most famous one being Xiangyang Island. Not only can you buy all sorts of treasures inside, but there are also some enjoyable things to do. That place is most lively at night, and tonight I'll take you there to experience it." Lou Sui Feng suddenly had a hint of a sly smile on his face as he said this.

  Two quarters of an hour later, they descended onto a large island in the northwest.

  This island appears on the surface to be no different from other islands, also scattered with some monks' temples and mansions.

  Lou followed Li Hui as they walked down the main street, introducing along the way: "These mansions are all residences of our Lou family's Western House descendants. Once you reach the Foundation Establishment period, you can establish your own independent mansion. However, most direct descendants still live within the Lou Family's Western House."

  As they spoke, they had already arrived at the end of the Long Street, where a magnificent and majestic mansion stood proudly, with a huge gate over ten feet tall bearing the four large characters "Lou Shi Xi Fu". In front of the mansion were ten famous Qi Refining Period cultivators standing guard, each accompanied by a ferocious demonic beast as fierce as a tiger.

  "See the young master!"

  Ten monks guarding the gate saw Lou approaching with the wind and bowed together in greeting.

  Lou nodded slightly in response to the wind and then turned to Li Hui: "This is my home, let's go inside."

  Li Hui followed Lou Sui Feng into the mansion, and along the way they ran into many Qi Refining stage cultivators, all of whom respectfully bowed to Lou Sui Feng.

  After walking through this mansion for a long time, passing through several courtyards and corridors, I finally arrived at a elegant and quiet courtyard.

  A woman in a pale green long dress, with a slender figure and beautiful features, walked forward and curtsied: "Welcome back to the mansion, young master."

  Lou nodded slightly and instructed: "You go prepare some spiritual tea in the Listening Wind Pavilion, this young master has a noble guest arriving."

  The woman bowed slightly and then turned around to leave.

  "Li Hui, this is my private residence, but does it meet your standards?" Lou said with a smile as he turned around.

  Li Hui's eyes naturally saw that the beautiful maid was also a cultivator in the Refining Qi stage, and he couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of these aristocratic young masters. He nodded slightly and said: "Your residence is quite elegant, Su Feng."

  "Haha, as long as you don't think it's too common, let's go and have some tea at the Wind Pavilion." Lou Sui Feng laughed and led Li Hui forward.

  The Wind Pavilion is a delicate and elegant small pavilion hidden in a bamboo forest.

  There were several beautiful maids in the pavilion, each holding a sheng or xiao and standing quietly waiting.

  Lou followed Li Hui into the pavilion and sat down. A beautiful maid came forward to pour them spiritual tea.

  The maids beside them also started playing softly, the tune of the sheng and xiao was gentle and elegant. As the wind blew by, the bamboo forest rustled, and the two sat facing each other, chatting with utmost elegance.

  Li Hui also felt exhilarated and relaxed, as if he had let go of all the troubles in the Xiuzhen realm.
