Su Fan led Huo Bingyao to find an inn to live in the city, and after that, he walked downstairs to the inn and called a shopkeeper over, wanting to ask him about the specific situation in the city.

"Little Er, is your school city so lively every day?" asked Su Fan.

"Guest officer, there are few people in the store, and the villain still has urgent matters to deal with, so let's skip this chat!"

The shopkeeper said, his eyes full of shrewdness.

As soon as Su Fan saw the words and deeds of the shopkeeper, he knew what the other party was thinking, and immediately grabbed the soul jade and threw it into the shopkeeper's hand, and asked, "Is there anything urgent to deal with now?"

The shopkeeper's eyes were about to be blinded by the soul jade, and this time he immediately reacted, he had met the God of Wealth!

"Hehe, it's gone, guest officer, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask!"

The shopkeeper had a flattering smile on his face, as if he was afraid of causing Su Fan's dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I ask you just now, didn't you hear?" Su Fan said unhurriedly.

"I heard, I heard!"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and then rolled his eyes and said, "Guest officer, that's the case, in twenty days it will be the day of the new Shengyuan Conference, so there are a lot of people who have come to the city to watch the ceremony these days!"

"What is it?"

Su Fan asked very puzzled when he heard this.

"Guest...... Guest, haven't you heard of the Shengyuan Conference?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression, and subconsciously pinched the soul jade in his hand.

It was simply strange that a person who casually threw out a few pieces of soul jade as a reward didn't even know what the Shengyuan Assembly was.

"Nonsense, if I'd heard about it, I'd come and ask you?"

Su Fan didn't realize that his answer had caused a lot of confusion to the shopkeeper, and he still said indifferently.

The shopkeeper immediately settled down, and although Su Fan's whole person gave him a strange feeling, he still seriously replied to Su Fan's question: "The Saint Yuan Conference is a martial arts competition held spontaneously by the Saint Palace Academy, but all monks who are below the level of the Saint King and are under the age of 1,500 can participate in it!"

"The competition of the conference is mainly a knockout round and a pass round, and the monks who win the quota in the knockout round will be able to get the opportunity to enter the Shengyuan Tower!"

"The Shengyuan Pagoda has its own space, and 100,000 Saint Stones and a Saint Crystal will be generated in it every three hundred years, and those who enter the Shengyuan Pagoda can only have a chance to break into the next layer by defeating a certain number of Organ Iron Men on each floor of the Tower!"

"Damn, Su Fan, this time you are developed, there is actually a holy crystal in this place!"

Before Su Fan wanted to ask Xiao Er what the holy stone and the holy crystal were, the flames in his dantian suddenly made a fuss.

"What, is this holy crystal very precious?" Su Fan couldn't help but ask in his heart.

"Of course it's precious, because whether it's a holy stone or a holy crystal, you can directly extract the purest holy yuan from it to absorb it, and the holy stone is just that, this holy crystal is a priceless treasure, and ordinary holy realm monks can absorb one holy crystal to increase their success power by at least three or four times!" You Yan said excitedly.

"Three or four successes, is the ninth level of the Soul Saint also effective?"

"Of course, if a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Soul Saint can absorb a holy crystal, he will be able to survive the tribulation in a few days!"

"That's amazing!"

Su Fan's face showed a look of emotion when he heard this, he didn't expect that the Saint Crystal would actually have such a significant improvement in the high-level Soul Saint, if he had a sufficient number of Saint Crystals in his hands, wouldn't it be just around the corner to break through to the ninth level of the Soul Saint?

"How many Saint Crystals are there in the Saint Yuan Pagoda now?"

Su Fan looked at the shopkeeper and couldn't help blurting out.

"Three thousand years ago, Sword Saint Yan Wushuang once climbed to the top of the Saint Yuan Pagoda and took all the Saint Crystals, according to the amount of Saint Crystals produced beforehand, it was about ten!"

The shopkeeper replied as he looked at Su Fan, thinking to himself that this person couldn't have hit the Holy Crystal with his idea, right?

He couldn't help but shake his head secretly, every time the Saint Yuan Conference opened, there would be a lot of people who were so self-conscious, thinking that they could seize the Saint Crystal with some ability, but they didn't know how terrifying those organs in the Saint Yuan Pagoda were, and the strength of the agents under the same combat power was several times higher than that of the monks.

Ten Crystals!

Hearing this number, Su Fan was slightly disappointed, his dantian space was ten times larger than that of ordinary monks, and even if he got all these ten holy crystals, he would be able to raise them by two levels at most, and he might not even be able to rise by two levels in the end.

However, even so, Su Fan did not intend to give up this great opportunity, because for him, even a small realm improvement was precious.

"Xiao Er, I heard from the guards guarding the door, the forces in this city are complicated, I wonder if you can tell me about it?"

After learning about the situation of the Shengyuan Conference, Su Fan changed his words and led the topic to the major forces in the academy city.

"Oh, sir, how can you get the guidance of those guards?

Xiao Er's eyes showed strange light, everyone who had been in the city for a long time knew what the identity of those guards was, they were all members of the law enforcement team of the Holy Palace Academy, and a considerable number of them were students with excellent character and learning.

And Su Fan was able to get verbal care from the members of the law enforcement team, which shows that his background is absolutely extraordinary.

"Guest officer, the guard is right, the various forces in the city are indeed very complicated, there are more than a thousand small forces, more than fifty medium-sized forces, and a total of eleven large forces!" the shopkeeper introduced Su Fan.

"So much!"

Su Fan was taken aback, such a huge force structure was no different from a large dynasty!

"Actually, those small and medium-sized forces can't stand the stage at all, most of them rely on eleven large forces, and these eleven large forces are the Ten Holy Lands and the Night Home of our Holy Dynasty!"

"Oh, isn't there a clear rule in the Holy Dynasty that people on the mainland are not allowed to have anything to do with people in the Holy Land?"

"Haha, guest officer, this is a neutral city, neither under the control of the Holy Dynasty nor the Holy Land, no matter where the monks come from in the city, even if it is a demon cultivator, as long as it does not violate the rules and regulations set by the Academy City, no one will care!"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, then pointed to a shop selling daily necessities across the street and said, "Guest officer, have you seen the shop opposite?" The owner of the shop is a killer, and he has a lot of human lives on his back, and later he hid in Xuefu City because he escaped pursuit and wanting, and now he has lived in the city for decades, and has been safe and sound!"

"This school city is the last safe haven for some murderers, so don't underestimate any of the residents of our outer city, because it is very likely that among these people, there are enough existences for you and me to fear!"

The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully.
