The disheveled old Daoist’s eyes widened as he stared at Lu Fan, "Kid! Have you reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
"No! I don't even know what the Nascent Soul stage is!" Lu Fan replied, shaking his head.
"You can be this outrageous without being in the Nascent Soul stage? This Daoist has truly never seen anything like it," the disheveled old Daoist exclaimed, looking towards the city gate with astonishment.
The distance from the city gate was at least a thousand meters. This kid could punish someone from a thousand meters away. Even someone in the Nascent Soul stage would need exceptional talent to achieve this!
"Right! Old fellow, all the treasures from the Kunlun Palace are with you, aren't they?" Lu Fan suddenly turned to the disheveled old Daoist, asking with a smile.
"Kid... I think I forgot something. Uh, you guys browse around, I'll be right back..." The disheveled old Daoist turned and tried to leave.
"Forty-four gold coins mean he kneels for a day. I don't know how to punish a room full of jewelry! Sigh! Jingjing! Ruomei! Help me calculate!" Lu Fan suddenly said to Jingjing and Ruomei.
"Then let him be like the Jade Emperor, undergo a tribulation for twelve thousand years," Li Jingjing said, her eyes twinkling.
"Hey! Little girl, why are you so cruel? Who punishes for that long? He'll be kneeling to death!" The disheveled old Daoist suddenly turned back, glaring at Li Jingjing and shouting.
"What's there to fear if it's too much? At worst, I'll make up the money after the punishment! Calculate how much money is missing, my master isn't short of money!" Li Jingjing said with a smirk.
"Kid... you... don't listen to her, a mere girl, talking nonsense. I don't have those treasures on me. However, I do have some loose gold. If you need it, I can still be generous! Heh heh!" As the disheveled old Daoist spoke, he took out a money bag from his embrace, which seemed to contain about five hundred gold coins.
"Here are five hundred gold coins, kid, this Daoist will give you half! How about that? Isn't that generous!" The disheveled old Daoist said as he took out a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into Lu Fan's hand.
"Hey! There are three of us, why are you keeping so much gold for yourself?" Ruomei reached out and snatched the money bag.
"Cough cough..." Lu Fan pretended not to see and walked forward. Jingjing and Ruomei made faces at the disheveled old Daoist and followed him.
"Like master, like disciple! Hmph! Not a single good one!" The disheveled old Daoist blinked his eyes from behind, cursed, and then zipped into the crowd.
"Master! That old guy disappeared again!" Li Jingjing said immediately after looking back and not seeing the disheveled old Daoist.
"The old guy is always elusive, don't worry about him. Let's go!" Lu Fan said without looking back.
"Master! Look, why is there a map inside this old guy's money bag?" Suddenly, Ruomei discovered a piece of paper inside the disheveled old Daoist's money bag. She took it out and saw it was a map.
"The Thirty-Six Heavens Map!" Lu Fan took it over and saw it was indeed a map of the Thirty-Six Heavens! The map clearly marked the distribution of the Thirty-Six Heavens.
Whoosh... The moment he saw the map, Lu Fan felt a flash of light in front of his eyes. Huh? He suddenly realized that the Thirty-Six Heavens Map had appeared in his sea of consciousness. Could his divine sense have a copying function?
Lu Fan didn't pay much attention because he had similar experiences before. It's just that his divine sense wasn't strong enough back then, and copying a few words would make him feel very fatigued. Now that his divine sense was strong enough, storing a map in his sea of consciousness shouldn't be a big deal.
The Thirty-Six Heavens, meaning thirty-six cities. Huh? Suddenly, Lu Fan felt the Thirty-Six Heavens Map floating in the sky above his sea of consciousness, like thirty-six stars suspended in the air...
"Stop! Are you from the Great Bright Jade Kingdom?" Suddenly, five people in armor appeared in front of the three, each holding a long sword. It was obvious they were city guards.
"No! What's wrong?" Lu Fan shrugged and said.
"Hmph! Not from the Great Bright Jade Kingdom! We suspect you are a spy! Come with us!" The five people looked Lu Fan up and down, then glanced at Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruomei beside him, their faces suddenly showing a hint of joy. They shouted at Lu Fan.
"Master! This guy is eyeing me and my junior sister," Li Jingjing whispered to Lu Fan.
"Heh heh! You have good fortune! Let's go, maybe I can find a good home for you!" Lu Fan said with a chuckle.
"Master! You... you're not dignified!" Li Jingjing immediately pouted.
"Senior Sister! Does Master dislike us for being a burden!?" Zhan Tai Ruomei said, her large eyes blinking.
"Hmph!" Li Jingjing's pout deepened.
The five city guards led the three into a magnificent palace. Two rows of armored imperial guards stood on either side of the palace, each holding a long sword, looking imposing and murderous.
"Master! This area isn't very large, but the imperial palace is quite magnificent. It's indeed richer than our mortal world!" Li Jingjing said playfully, sticking out her tongue as she looked at the majestic palace.
"Then can we ask for more betrothal gifts?" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Junior Sister is beautiful and young. Marry Junior Sister!" Li Jingjing said, rolling her eyes.
"I'm not even an adult yet! Marry Senior Sister first!" Zhan Tai Ruomei's large eyes flickered, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed one of Lu Fan's little fingers, following him like a child, completely losing her mature demeanor from just moments ago.
"Hmph! Who knows, maybe the old guy in the palace likes children! Heh heh!" Li Jingjing chuckled.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the main hall. A guard immediately ran inside to report, and after a while, ran back out and said to Lu Fan and the two girls, "You three, go in!"
Lu Fan led the two beautiful girls into the hall. Inside, civil and military officials stood on both sides of the hall. At the top of the hall was a large golden dragon throne, on which sat a fat fellow wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown.
As the three entered, they looked around like country bumpkins, finding everything novel. The Great Bright Heavenly Emperor on the dragon throne and the civil and military officials were all stunned. However, upon seeing the beautiful faces of Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruomei, everyone smiled.
"Guards! Drag that spy out, but keep these two little spies here. This Heavenly Emperor will personally interrogate them!" The Great Bright Heavenly Emperor almost burst out laughing and beckoned to someone beside him.
Whoosh... Two guards from outside the main entrance immediately walked in, grabbed Lu Fan by the arms, one on each side, and prepared to drag him out, then beat him soundly and throw him out of the palace.
However, things didn't seem to be that simple. The two men grabbed Lu Fan's arms and exerted force, but Lu Fan didn't budge at all. The two thought their strength was insufficient and tried again, but Lu Fan still didn't move.
The two guards exchanged glances, simultaneously gathering all their strength, bracing themselves, bending down, and exerting force. Bang... Bang...
Lu Fan didn't move, but the two guards, perhaps due to excessive force, let out two farts.
