The blazing sun hangs high in the sky.
Fire Cloud Immortal City.
Outer city area.
No. 3 Qingxian Street.
"It's been three years."
"It should be fine now."
In a small, square courtyard, Lin Li lay leisurely on a wooden chair, with a palm-sized ice crystal spirit stone floating beside him.
The wisps of coolness emanating from the spirit stone made the temperature inside the courtyard very refreshing and pleasant.
Lin Li has been living in this immortal city for three years now.
During this period,
He had been renting this small courtyard. He had only stayed at the Huang family's talisman shop for half a year before, and after learning about the situation here, he came out and rented this small courtyard.
Normally, he just draws talismans, and the cultivators on Qingxian Street around here will come to buy talismans from time to time.
Moreover, the talismans sold by Lin Li were 10% cheaper than those in the surrounding talisman shops, and their power was no less than that of the talismans sold in the shops. In fact, the talismans seemed to be of much higher quality than those sold in the shops.
That's why several talisman shops around him initially extended offers to Lin Li, but he rejected them all.
Fortunately, he doesn't release many talismans each month.
It wouldn't affect the business of the surrounding talisman shops too much, and in the end, they didn't cause Lin Li any trouble.
"master."
"The funeral meal from Qu Family Restaurant has arrived."
"I heard that the Fire Cloud Sect has produced a new Nascent Soul cultivator and is going to hold a Nascent Soul celebration in Fire Cloud Immortal City."
"Many cultivators will come to the Immortal City at that time."
"The restaurant manager also said that the surrounding talisman shops have already raised the prices of their talismans."
"They said they wanted to ask if the price of the talisman you have is going to increase, sir."
"If the price doesn't go up, the shopkeeper would like to buy ten top-grade first-tier spirit talismans from the master."
at this time.
A little fox demon dressed in a yellow dress, with a pair of fox ears and a fluffy yellow tail, walked over carrying two lunch boxes and placed the spiritual food inside the lunch boxes one by one on the stone table in front of her.
This little fox girl looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has a cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining.
Two and a half years ago.
This little fox girl originally came to the Immortal City with her mother, but they didn't have any skills to make a living. When her mother went out of the city to collect herbs, she encountered a cultivator who had just killed her.
This little fox girl was all alone and helpless.
She was arrested by the Huang family's talisman shop because her mother had borrowed a talisman from the shop on credit while gathering herbs outside the city and had not paid for it.
The little fox girl was only at the first level of Qi Refining at the beginning. It was already extremely difficult for her and her mother to come to the Immortal City.
If this little fox girl cannot repay the spirit stones, the shopkeeper of the Huang family will sell her to the mine to work as a miner.
With this little fox girl's cultivation level and frail physique, she definitely wouldn't last more than a month in the mine. She would likely die there, and her fate would probably be to be refined into a corpse puppet by the people in the mine.
Many mines purchased low-level cultivators, and their next step was to refine those cultivators into the lowest-level corpse puppets. Corpse puppets have no sense of pain, so they can't do any delicate work.
But transporting spirit ore in the mine is still not a problem.
at first.
Lin Li took the little fox girl in because he felt sorry for her.
In his third life, Lin Li was also a spirit fox. Seeing this little fox girl die in front of him, he casually bought her and decided to use her as a maid.
"A Nascent Soul Celebration?"
"understood."
"The price will remain the same, with each Tier 1 superior spirit talisman increasing by two spirit stones."
"These are ten top-grade Tier 1 Golden Blade Talismans."
"When you go to Naqu Family Restaurant, just give it to the manager."
"Remember, make him give you spirit stones first."
"Oh, right."
"You've become a bit lax in your cultivation."
"Don't get involved with that sheep demon family on the street. That sheep demon family is no pushover."
Lin Li then took out a small stack of light gold talismans from his storage bag and handed them to the little fox demon Qiu Ling.
The sheep demon in that street dwelling exuded an extremely strong aura of malevolence.
Their hands were stained with the blood of countless humans and demons, though those sheep were outwardly well disguised.
However, any Foundation Establishment cultivator who is willing to investigate can detect it.
However, once you enter this city...
Fighting between cultivators is not allowed, even among those at the Core Formation stage.
There are public dueling areas within the city, and some cultivators are also allowed to settle their grudges in specific areas of the city.
"Yes, sir."
Qiu Ling obediently bowed and made a mental note of it.
She recalled the old lady on the street who had been kind to her, even giving her a red dress, which she kept even though she didn't wear it.
But what the master says is definitely not wrong.
Fire Cloud Immortal City.
inner city.
In the cave on Mount Zhenling.
Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on a jade lotus platform, just like an ordinary old man in blue robes. In front of him floated jade slips, which contained the names of the cultivators who had entered the city in recent years.
He searched all the way from Yokoyama and arrived here three days ago.
He had thoroughly investigated the other immortal cities and surrounding forces, but found absolutely no clues.
at this time.
There were three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in front of Qi Yuan, two old and one young. They knelt down in front of him with their heads down, their bodies motionless, as if petrified.
"senior."
"My master has already replied."
"They said they're on their way back, and the spirit of the formation is with their master."
"My master said it will be three months before I can return to the sect."
"At this time, we are in Xishan Prefecture of the Dragon Tiger Kingdom."
Among the three Nascent Soul cultivators, the one who resembled a four- or five-year-old child in yellow robes, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, spoke respectfully.
"Dragon and Tiger Kingdom".
"Xishan Prefecture?"
Information about Xishan Prefecture of the Dragon Tiger Kingdom appeared in Qi Yuan's mind.
With the stamina of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, three months was considered a considerable amount of time to travel.
I might as well wait three months, since I've been searching for this for decades.
This Fire Cloud Immortal City is protected by a fourth-order superior formation, within which a formation spirit with considerable combat power has been born. Through the formation spirit, one can further explore the aura of living beings within the city.
This way, the investigation can be more thorough, which is more reliable than using his Nascent Soul stage divine sense.
Qi Yuan rushed all the way from Peach Blossom Mountain.
He knew very well how cautious the little guy he was looking for was.
That little guy seemed to possess a bloodline magic weapon comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. Such a little fellow... The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 202 Immortal City Talisman Master, Array Spirit Investigation (Two-in-One, please subscribe), looking forward to your visit. Naturally, one would need to be careful to capture him.
"You may leave."
"The Nascent Soul Celebration will continue."
"I'll also go and join in the fun."
Qi Yuan finished speaking.
The three Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly got up, took their leave, and departed.
The three of them exchanged glances, none of them daring to use their divine sense to communicate, and could only exchange a few words with their eyes.
After all, the person in front of them was a senior in the Nascent Soul stage. For these few Nascent Soul stage cultivators to use their divine sense to send a message was tantamount to making a loud noise, and it was impossible to hide it from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
...
...
In the blink of an eye.
Inside the Fiery Cloud Immortal City.
The Nascent Soul Ceremony has begun.
At the entrance to the Immortal City.
On the towering city wall, hundreds of feet high, Qi Yuan, dressed in a blue robe, held a purple jade wine gourd in his hand and was drinking it sip by sip. His divine sense, at the Nascent Soul stage, was enveloping the city gate entrance below.
He used his divine sense to examine every single cultivator below.
So far, nothing unusual has been found.
"Um?"
Immediately, Qi Yuan seemed to sense something.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of Nascent Soul power. This power resonated with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, instantly binding an old man in black robes below the city gate entrance.
Someone pulled him onto the city wall.
The entrance to the city.
The cultivators were all dumbfounded and astonished when they saw the figure of the black-robed old man suddenly fly up from the crowd.
"Any cultivator who conceals their cultivation level and enters the city with enough malevolent energy will trigger our protective array, imprisoning them in the city's dungeon."
at this time.
After a brief moment of distraction, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the city quickly calmed himself down and spoke in a booming voice.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the city all knew that a Nascent Soul stage guest had arrived. Even the Nascent Soul stage elders in their sects were extremely polite and respectful.
Now this distinguished guest is at the city gate, and they don't know why he is here.
However, the only thing they were certain of was that this senior was not someone they could afford to offend.
No matter what the other party does, they have to cooperate.
On the city wall.
Wang Meng, who had been dragged up, looked at the old man in blue robes in front of him who looked like an ordinary mortal, and his heart was filled with fear.
"What brings you, a mere Core Formation cultivator, to conceal your cultivation and infiltrate this immortal city?"
After a close inspection, Qi Yuan confirmed that this guy was not the target he was looking for, but he was a suspicious candidate.
"In reply to Senior, I yearn for the Fire Cloud Sect and wish to see if I can join it, even as a servant."
"This Nascent Soul Ceremony is such a grand occasion, we should take advantage of this opportunity..."
As Wang Meng spoke, a chill ran down his spine.
He could tell that the old man in front of him must have a cultivation level of at least Nascent Soul stage.
He was still somewhat helpless as to why they were targeting him.
Wang Meng is a demonic cultivator who occasionally engages in business with cultivators outside the immortal city. He has a considerable number of cultivators under his control, but most of the ones he hires are Foundation Establishment and early Core Formation cultivators without any background.
But Wang Meng hadn't finished speaking.
Bang!
The spiritual energy from all directions, like several towering mountains, crashed down on Wang Meng, smashing him to pieces.
Qi Yuan casually tossed out a ball of spiritual fire, burning the floating, fragmented mass of blood into ashes.
To be tainted with such heavy baleful energy at the Core Formation stage—what a despicable demonic cultivator brat!
Qi Yuan kills every single one he encounters.
After a while.
"It seems we can't hold out here."
Qi Yuan screened many cultivators entering the city, but there were no problems at all. He only found a Core Formation stage demonic cultivator and killed him. In addition, there were several Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators.
Any of the malevolent auras emanating from them that caught Qi Yuan's attention were immediately replaced with a strand of Nascent Soul magic power, which sent them all away.
As a righteous cultivator in the Northern Yue Kingdom, Qi Yuan naturally viewed demonic cultivators as his sworn enemies.
However, within North Vietnam, the orthodox path has always held a dominant position.
Although the demonic cultivators had a few old immortals at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to hold them off, none of them were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. However, among the righteous Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Yue Kingdom, there were two at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
In comparison, the few early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path were very low-key, merely hiding within their own sect's territory, not daring to expand their influence or venture outwards.
As a result, the demonic sects below were also suppressed by the other righteous forces.
Along the way, Qi Yuan would casually kill any demonic cultivators he encountered who showed potential.
Twenty thousand years ago, demonic cultivators dominated the territory of the Northern Yue Kingdom, causing heavy casualties among the cultivators within the kingdom, with many becoming food for those demonic cultivators.
Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and souls were forged in the fire.
Most of them are methods used by demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages.
As a result, after the righteous cultivators took the lead, they launched a coordinated attack and wiped out all the cultivators from the demonic sects that had originally committed the most killings.
Not even half a remnant soul could escape.
It was after that incident that the demonic sects within the Northern Yue Kingdom never recovered.
...
...
In the blink of an eye.
March has passed.
Immortal City.
On True Spirit Mountain, a dusty, bald old man in white robes, with a slightly plump figure and a weathered face, flew into the cave and bowed to Qi Yuan with utmost respect.
"Junior Zhou Yushan pays respects to senior."
"This is the spirit of the great formation. Please take a look, senior."
Zhou Yushan raised his hand and took out a white jade spiritual light from his hand. Within that spiritual light was a jellyfish-like array spirit.
Qi Yuan nodded in acknowledgment, then raised his hand to draw the array spirit in front of him and connected it with his divine sense.
A moment later.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes as he sent the spirit array back to Zhou Yushan.
"This item has been used."
"Take it."
Qi Yuan finished speaking.
He closed his eyes to rest and began to ponder. The little guy had most likely escaped to a place even further away in the Northern Yue Kingdom. If he continued searching like this, it would probably take decades to find him again.
But a little guy with the potential to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he's a wild one at that! It's unbelievable; such talent is incredibly rare!
If we don't capture this wild Nascent Soul bloodline cultivator, he'll probably never be satisfied.
"Let's look around the neighborhood a bit more."
Qi Yuan thought for a moment.
It then transformed into a barely perceptible wisp of blue light and left the Fiery Cloud Immortal City.
at this time.
As Lin Li savored the new spiritual dishes in the courtyard of the immortal city, the last trace of unease in his heart completely vanished.
