I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 25: Blood Sea Old Demon

Lin Qing, who took a detour, wasted two whole days, but he had no regrets in his heart. That canyon was at least seven or eight li long, and he really didn't want to go in.

The road afterwards was much smoother. On the twelfth day of departure, Lin Qing had already traveled five hundred li away from Qingmuji. It was also the first time he drove a carriage on a main road.

There were many travelers on the main road, with caravans passing by and carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts of various grades. Lin Qing's carriage was inconspicuous. Compared to before, Lin Qing also increased his speed. When passing through a mortal town, Lin Qing directly changed the horses of the carriage three times, allowing him to travel nearly a hundred li from morning till night.

After traveling on the main road for five days, he made up for the ten days before. At this time, Lin Qing also broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

After breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, Lin Qing felt that his spiritual power was more abundant, and he was more proficient in using medium-grade spiritual tools. More importantly, with the cooperation of Li Qingyu, using the Three-Water Formation, they were enough to contend against the eighth level of Qi Refining.

But looking at the outline of Xuan Yu Fang City that was already visible in front of him, Lin Qing thought to himself that he didn't need the various means he had prepared before.

Xuan Yu Fang City, arrived.

Unlike Qingmuji, Xuan Yu Fang City was not only large, but it was also built on a second-grade lower-grade spiritual vein. Although only practicing at the formation eye could increase cultivation speed, the spiritual energy in Xuan Yu Fang City was more abundant than outside, and mortals could also benefit from it. Therefore, whether it was mortals or cultivators, when entering Xuan Yu Fang City, they had to pay a fee of one spiritual stone, which was valid for one year.

However, this rule was exempted for the Foundation Building stage. Regardless of where they went, those in the Foundation Building stage would receive preferential treatment.

From afar, Lin Qing saw many people lined up at the entrance of the city. He was a little surprised. He had entered Xuan Yu Fang City before, although it was much larger than Qingmuji, it was not the largest city within the borders of Zhao Kingdom. There was usually no need to queue up. Why were there queues today?

To prevent any accidents, Lin Qing decided to investigate alone first.

Just like there were mortals living around Qingmuji, there were even more mortals around Xuan Yu Fang City. However, mortals were restricted to living on both sides of the city, forming two huge towns. There were no obstacles at the entrance of the city.

Lin Qing arrived at the entrance of the city. At this time, the queue had become even longer, stretching for more than thirty meters. At the entrance of the city, there were four cultivators from the Wuji Sect, carefully registering the information of the queued cultivators and inspecting their appearances. After taking a glance at them, Lin Qing's heart chilled. He couldn't see the cultivation level of these Wuji Sect cultivators, but at the very least, they were all at the later stage of Qi Refining.

"Dare I ask, Fellow Daoist, what happened?" Without looking much, Lin Qing asked a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining in the queue.

When the cultivator turned his head and saw that Lin Qing's cultivation level was higher than his own, he, who originally didn't want to say much, spoke up, "It's all because of that matter."

Saying this was the same as not saying anything. Lin Qing continued to ask, "I don't know what happened?"

"It's that matter," the cultivator said again, as if everyone knew about it.

Lin Qing glanced at this cultivator and before he could continue questioning, another cultivator in front spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, you must have just arrived. Look at the wall over there."

Lin Qing followed his words and looked over. On the left side of the entrance of the city, there was a yellow paper posted on the wall, filled with writing.

He walked towards it, staring at the writing on it in silence for a long time. It was a wanted notice:

"The following individuals are wanted by the Wuji Sect:

Early Foundation Building stage demonic cultivator: Blood Sea Old Demon.

Anyone who discovers the whereabouts of this person, once confirmed and reported, will receive a reward of five hundred spirit stones and one hundred years of free accommodation in the Xuan Yu Residence. Killing this person will result in a reward of two thousand spirit stones and three Wuji Sect entry tokens, which can be exchanged for other rewards if desired.

Late Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator: Ten disciples under the Blood Sea Old Demon, all at the late Qi Refining stage.

Discovering the whereabouts of any of these individuals will result in a reward of fifty spirit stones. Killing one person will result in a reward of three hundred spirit stones and thirty years of free accommodation in the Xuan Yu Residence.

These eleven individuals committed heinous crimes half a month ago, launching a surprise attack on the Qingmu Sect under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Yu Residence. Countless Qi Refining stage cultivators were killed or injured, and the loss of spirit stones was incalculable. They then proceeded to burn down the entire Qingmu Sect. Such wickedness deserves the punishment of both heaven and man."

Next to the wanted notice were several portraits depicting the Blood Sea Old Demon and his disciples. However, there was nothing particularly distinctive about them, and their cultivation level was not even at the mid to late Foundation Building stage. Who would dare to provoke them?

Lin Qing silently read the wanted notice and, after a brief moment of relief, a greater sense of powerlessness followed.

This time, he had managed to escape the crisis by being cautious and unintentional. But what if there was an unforeseen danger next time? Lin Qing didn't know. After cultivating immortality, he gained greater power but also shouldered enormous risks. Perhaps, strength was the fundamental solution to everything.

Back in the carriage, Lin Qing informed Chao Yun and Li Qingyu about what he had seen. Both of them were shocked, especially Li Qingyu, who looked at Lin Qing with deep guilt.

Initially, she had wanted to go and see the opening ceremony, but fortunately, Lin Qing didn't listen to her. If he had, everything would have been over.

Next, Lin Qing waited for the line to shorten before getting off the carriage and joining the queue with his wives. As for the carriage, no carriages were allowed inside the Xuan Yu Residence; only people were permitted.

Not far away, there were mortal traffickers. Lin Qing sold the carriage to one of them for eleven taels of gold, earning himself two taels.

When it was Lin Qing's turn in the queue, he thought that since they had come from the Qingmu Sect, if the cultivators at the entrance bothered them, he could bribe them with some spirit stones. However, to his surprise, after paying four spirit stones, they easily passed the inspection. Even the information they provided was only briefly registered, without revealing that they came from the Qingmu Sect.

The reason for this was not only because Lin Qing's cultivation level was only at the mid Qi Refining stage, but also because of his wives and children. The Blood Sea Old Demon and his disciples were known for never marrying or having children. It was said that any woman who stayed by their side wouldn't survive a day.

Upon entering the Xuan Yu Residence, Chao Yun and Li Qingyu were both amazed. Having stayed in the Qingmu Sect for a long time, they thought that all immortal markets were like that. It was only upon entering the Xuan Yu Residence that they realized it was more like a city than a market.

Not only were there numerous immortal shops, but there were also many mortal shops. Among them, there were countless businesses involved in the skin trade. Apart from the thousand cultivators, there were probably tens of thousands of mortals living here. Compared to ordinary mortal cities, it was even more bustling and never ceased.

Walking on the street, Lin Qing, accompanied by his wives, noticed many flirtatious gazes from the fireworks girls on the roadside, as if they wanted to play with Lin Qing.

At this moment, relying on his previous experience, Lin Qing introduced the Xuan Yu Residence to his wives:

"The Xuan Yu Residence is about two li in length and width, divided into the East and West Market. The eastern side has abundant spiritual energy, but the rent is expensive. The western side is a bit cheaper. However, both the East and West Market are covered by a formation that can withstand late Foundation Building stage cultivators. I heard that it's not even the limit, so there's no need to worry about safety. Let's find an inn to stay for now and make plans later. We just arrived, so we need to take it slow."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, his wives naturally had no objections and followed him.
