Chapter 25: Thousand Cloud Island

Thousand Cloud Island.

Located in the Demon Talisman Sect market.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in the Demon Talisman Sect, there are countless islands, thousands of cultivation families, endless independent cultivators, and the circulation and distribution of immortal goods all take place here.

Thousand Cloud Island is 800 miles north to south and 1,000 miles east to west, with a vast area and undulating mountains and rainforests covering the island.

There is a peculiar phenomenon on this island.

It rains every afternoon.

It has been like this for tens of thousands of years.

After the rain, the sky clears up, white clouds roll, and the scenery is infinite.

Many cultivators ride in carriages, spirit beasts, auspicious clouds, law weapons, and so on, floating in the air to enjoy the scenery, chat and discuss the Dao, which has become a major feature of Thousand Cloud Island.

There are immortal houses, spirit buildings, pagodas, and jade towers all over the island, with tens of thousands of businesses. The annual tax alone contributes a large amount of spirit stones to the Demon Talisman Sect.

The Xu family also has a shop here.

On this day.

Pang Yue stepped on an auspicious cloud and flew from the horizon.

Various colors of escape lights flickered and flew over Thousand Cloud Island, creating a prosperous scene.

Following the memories of the original owner, Daoist Xu, he came to the southwest of the island and found a towering tree.

This giant tree is over a thousand zhang tall, towering and vigorous, with a tree crown that spans dozens of miles in diameter, like a majestic and verdant mountain standing on the island.

Compared to the giant tree, the other trees around it are like small grass, very inconspicuous.

"The Thousand Cloud Divine Tree..."

Pang Yue was shocked by the strong visual impact when he saw this tree.

Within the crown of this Thousand Cloud Divine Tree, there are countless shops and businesses, making it a relatively high-level trading place on Thousand Cloud Island.

Flying to the Thousand Cloud Divine Tree, a rich aura of wood cultivation rushed towards him.

If one cultivates wood cultivation techniques here, they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Houses are built along the huge branches of the divine tree, forming unique and strange "streets".

Pang Yue entered and exited more than ten shops in succession, selling everything he had gained in the open sea.

Zhu Shan Wuyou, Zheng Peng, Long Yanzi, and others...

Many unused law weapons, treasure materials, and a large number of demonic beast corpses were all sold, exchanging for more than two million spirit stones.

At the same time, he also purchased eighteen Qi Gathering level puppets, which can be used to cultivate Primordial Yang Rice in the Mountain and River Cauldron in the future.

Unfortunately, he did not encounter the materials for refining the nine great spiritual treasures from his previous life.

Now he has enough Tianchen Pills on him, so he doesn't have to worry about pill cultivation for a short time.

After returning this time, he should focus on cultivating and strive to improve his strength to the sixth level of the Dao Foundation realm as soon as possible.

At the top of the Thousand Cloud Divine Tree, there is a snow-white jade tower, radiating with precious light, extraordinary.

A plaque hangs in front of the jade tower, with three large characters written on it—Yuelaiju.

This tower is one of the top ten spiritual banquet restaurants on Thousand Cloud Island.

Every year, there are many Gold Core cultivators who hold banquets here, and the level is so high that ordinary cultivators are deterred.

But today, Pang Yue is going to entertain a female cultivator here.

He booked a private room as soon as he entered the restaurant.

Just as I sat down, I saw a streak of light descending from the sky and entering the restaurant.

In a moment, a beautiful female cultivator wearing a silver long dress followed the waiter and arrived at Pang Yue's private room.

This woman had a tall figure and slender eyebrows, with a hint of killing intent.

Although she had a stunningly beautiful face, it was somewhat overshadowed by her cold and aloof aura.

When Pang Yue first saw this woman, he felt his hair stand on end, as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast.

He discreetly scanned the female cultivator with his gaze, using the unnamed pupil technique, and instantly caught a glimpse of an endless sea of blood, with countless resentful spirits drifting behind this woman.

"Such a strong killing intent!"

Pang Yue's heart trembled. There must have been many cultivators and Demonic Beasts who died at the hands of this woman.

How could the Dao companion recommended by Xu Wentian turn out to be a killer...

The woman in the silver dress sat down on her own, familiarly ordering dishes, saying, "Cuiyu Fireflow Rhino... Purple Ice Golden Demonic Badger... Chongxu Spirit Immortal Mushroom... Monkey Wine..."

This restaurant had over three hundred types of spiritual dishes, all prepared by Dao Foundation cultivators using spiritual ingredients. Not only were they incredibly delicious, but they could also replenish a cultivator's spiritual energy and refine their magical powers, making them extremely beneficial for cultivators.

Pang Yue didn't say a word, silently watching as the woman ordered dishes worth five to six thousand spirit stones.

Ordinary Dao Foundation cultivators couldn't afford such a high expense...

It was obvious that she intended to take advantage of Pang Yue.

This woman's name was Ran Yunxin, a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Yuan Mo Temple. She had reached the sixth level of the Dao Foundation stage and had no prominent background. She had been cultivating for only ninety years, but her elemental demonic power was pure and powerful, even Xu Wentian praised her.

"Brother Xu, nice to meet you!"

After ordering the dishes, Ran Yunxin smiled slightly and unabashedly looked Pang Yue up and down with her beautiful eyes.

"Nice to meet you too!"

Pang Yue clasped his hands together and looked at Ran Yunxin's graceful figure, praising, "My senior uncle has praised Fellow Daoist many times, and today I see that it is well-deserved."

Ran Yunxin neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "Brother Xu, I have heard that you recently defeated Qu Ziyang from the Ice Demon Temple in a decisive battle. Your skills are truly remarkable. I have admired you for a long time."

"Fellow Daoist exaggerates. It was just a lucky win with one move, not worth mentioning..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them couldn't find a topic for a while.

Ran Yunxin's face returned to a calm and composed expression as she ate the delicious spiritual dishes without any awkwardness.

Pang Yue smiled slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ran, there is something I don't understand. With your conditions, why did you agree to become a Dao companion?"

Ran Yunxin took a sip of Monkey Wine, looked at Pang Yue with her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, "Cultivators need both wealth and companionship. Fellow Daoist has extraordinary talent in swordsmanship and an extraordinary background... In short, we are a good match."

"But what about my senior uncle's coercion?"

Pang Yue shook his head and asked with a smile.

With Xu Wentian's position in the Yuan Mo Temple, few people dared to defy him below the Gold Core stage.

Ran Yunxin fell silent for a moment, then said lightly, "Senior Brother Xu has shown great kindness to me. I promised him to join the Xu family and protect them for a hundred years."

Pang Yue paused and said, "In that case, if Fellow Daoist is unwilling, I won't force it."

"It's alright."

Ran Yunxin waved her hand and said, "I am not a person who goes back on my word. However, if you want to win my heart and body, you still need to work harder in your cultivation. I like men who can dominate their peers like Senior Brother Xu. Although you have some means, I'm afraid you are not my match."

"We haven't fought yet, so how can we lightly speak of victory or defeat?"

Pang Yue said.

Ran Yunxin's beautiful eyes sparkled as she raised her eyebrows and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist won a decree from the Devouring Demon Temple. How about taking me to the Outer Domain? At that time, we can have a friendly match. If I lose, I will let you arrange everything."

Pang Yue sighed, "Why bother? I currently have no plans to go to the Devouring Demon Temple."

"Are you afraid, Brother Daoist?"

Ran Yunxin sneered coldly, showing a disdainful expression.

Pang Yue calculated for a moment and said, "Alright, the next opening of the Devouring Demon Temple is still nine months away. At that time, we will go in together."
