Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 46: Arriving at Shanggu City (Please Collect)

However, just when everyone thought that everything had settled down, no one noticed that the runes on the high-quality Exploding Spirit Talismans at the front and back of each flying boat had started to emit a dazzling light.

"Boom!"

The destructive light swept through, instantly vaporizing the Rogue Cultivator who was at the center of the explosion.

Even a Qi Refining seventh-level Rogue Cultivator would find it difficult to withstand the sudden power of a first-level high-quality Exploding Spirit Talisman without any prior knowledge.

The sea of fire engulfed three first-level flying boats and all the Rogue Cultivators.

In order to prevent anyone from surviving, the Explosive Kid, who was hovering in the air, threw out three fire talismans, increasing the power of the sea of fire.

After there was nothing left but ashes, the Explosive Kid descended to investigate the surroundings and found no other special traces. Only then did he leave with peace of mind.

...

"Why didn't you let me have some fun too?!" Inside the flying boat, Qin Jiyue glared at Li Guanxuan with an unhappy expression on her face.

They had agreed to take action together and wipe out those Rogue Cultivators, but Li Guanxuan held her back and sent the Explosive Kid out instead.

"What's so fun about it?" Li Guanxuan said helplessly, "What does an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator like you need to do for something that can be handled by a ninth-level Qi Refining Xuanjin Puppet? Just wait here honestly. Why do you have to put yourself in danger?"

"I don't care! It's been a long time since I've taken action!" A hint of enchanting red light flashed in Qin Jiyue's eyes.

Li Guanxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Jiyue without saying a word.

"Sister, you should listen to your husband..." Wen Rongxin said softly.

Qin Jiyue's gaze shifted slightly, muttering, "Forget it, if I can't take action, then I won't. I'll continue piloting the flying boat towards Shanggu City."

Li Guanxuan stared at Qin Jiyue's figure, feeling extremely puzzled. What was that strange and enchanting red light just now?

It seemed like Qin Jiyue was hiding something from him.

But they had been living together for so many years, and Qin Jiyue had already opened her heart to him completely. There shouldn't be any more secrets she was hiding from him.

No, there was still the mystery of her identity!

Li Guanxuan withdrew his gaze. With Qin Jiyue's extraordinary spiritual roots and her two exceptionally special spiritual roots, her talent was extraordinary...

A girl with such exceptional talent must have an extraordinary identity.

"Never mind, if she doesn't want to say, she must have her reasons. If I continue to press her, it won't be good." Li Guanxuan smiled and let go of his worries.

Soon, the Explosive Kid returned, holding a storage bag in his hand.

Li Guanxuan scanned it with his spiritual sense and found thirteen medium-grade spirit stones, over two thousand low-grade spirit stones, as well as magical tools, talismans, and pills inside.

It was an unexpected gain.

...

Soon, after crossing numerous hills and wilderness, a huge and ancient city wall came into view. The plaque on it was engraved with the three characters "Shanggu City" in a lively and vigorous manner.

The city was shrouded in white mist and bathed in a radiant glow, all thanks to the second-level formation.

Shanggu City covered an area of hundreds of miles and was extremely large. It occupied a second-level top-grade spiritual vein, which was the energy source that supported the second-level defensive formation.

The outer city area consisted of second-level medium-grade to first-level top-grade spiritual vein branches.

The closer they got to Shanggu City, Li Guanxuan could clearly feel the powerful auras breaking through the air. In order to avoid the flying boat being shattered by a Foundation Building cultivator, Li Guanxuan suggested landing and purchasing spirit horses to continue their journey.

Only when facing Qi Refining stage cultivators does Li Guanxuan feel a bit at ease.

Wen Rongxin and Qin Jiyue have no objections and listen to everything Li Guanxuan says.

Along the way, Li Guanxuan did not encounter any more incidents.

Although this place is only ten miles away from Shanggu City, there are still no Rogue Cultivators daring to make a move in the vicinity.

After all, Shanggu City is known for its strict rules. If anyone dares to rob in this area, the lord of the city, who is at the peak of the ninth level of Foundation Building, will not hesitate to leave the city and kill them.

"This place... is much more prosperous than Azure Serenity City."

Wen Rongxin looked at the towering city walls that were gradually approaching, slightly opening her rosy little mouth, her almond-shaped eyes filled with shock.

"Yes."

Li Guanxuan smiled, he didn't feel much.

After all, he was born in Daheng Yongning Prefecture, and even the most towering city walls have become commonplace to him.

"When we have enough strength in the future, let's travel to various places in the cultivation world. We can go wherever we want!" Qin Jiyue said with a smile to Wen Rongxin.

"Yes!"

Wen Rongxin nodded, her round and large almond-shaped eyes filled with longing and hope.

Walking towards Shanggu City along with the crowd, Li Guanxuan and the others were soon questioned by the city guards about where they came from and what they were doing here.

Li Guanxuan truthfully explained that he hoped to settle down and live in Shanggu City, and secretly handed over a bag of spirit stones.

Seeing that Li Guanxuan was so sensible, the guards did not make things difficult and personally led them to handle their identity tokens.

"Brother Zuo, do you have any broker houses to recommend? After all, I'm new here..." Li Guanxuan handed over another bag of spirit stones with a smile and asked.

The guard named Zuo Xiao pushed his hand back and explained with a smile, "That's not necessary. The rent for residential houses in the outer city of Shanggu City is clearly marked. It doesn't matter which broker house you go to. The annual rent for outer city residences is generally around five hundred spirit stones, while it's three thousand spirit stones for the inner city.

In our Shanggu City, there are shops in both the inner and outer cities, so it's quite convenient to buy anything. There are no designated marketplaces, so you don't need to consider the location. Just rent wherever you like.

Also, in Shanggu City, you don't need to worry about the presence of Rogue Cultivators. Our city guards patrol every day and will immediately take action to kill any Rogue Cultivators they find, ensuring the safety of the people in the city."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is..."

It seems that this is the ability and strength of the lord of Shanggu City.

He directly turned the entire city into a marketplace, with shops on every street and alley, thriving and prosperous.

"Alright, you can go about your business now. If you have time in the future, come find me for a drink. I also have to get back to work." Zuo Xiao bid farewell.

"Thank you, Brother Zuo."

"Thank you, Lord Zuo..."

Li Guanxuan and his wives thanked him with clasped hands.

Then, Li Guanxuan scanned his storage bag with his spiritual sense and found that the total amount of spirit stones added up to just ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, with fifty-one of them being medium-grade spirit stones.

"I can only rent an outer city residence for now. When I reach the second stage, I can move into the inner city." Li Guanxuan smiled.

"Yes, this place is much better than Azure Serenity City." Wen Rongxin nodded slightly.

After arriving in Shanggu City, she felt that living in this city for a lifetime would be no problem.

The main reason was that she felt at ease here.

Afterwards, Li Guanxuan found a broker house and rented a house in the outer city.

This house was similar to the one in Azure Serenity City, with a courtyard, but it had two fewer bedrooms, only five in total. However, the space was relatively large, located on a first-grade spiritual vein branch.

After signing the contract, Li Guanxuan named this house Ping'an Garden and moved in on the same day.

After finishing everything, Li Guanxuan finally felt relieved.

He had finally arrived safely in Shanggu City.
