I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 438: Central Holy City

However, when it comes to specific candidates, apart from not being a cultivator of the demonic path, one must also have a certain level of proficiency in alchemy. After all, although the Nascent Soul Pill can be refined by any Nascent Soul cultivator, it is obvious that the quality of pills refined by cultivators who are proficient in alchemy is better, and they can even produce multiple pills.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing immediately changed his direction and headed towards the most famous and largest city in the Eastern County, the Central Holy City.

As the largest cultivation city in the Central State and even the cultivation world, the Central Holy City has numerous Nascent Soul cultivators. Moreover, fighting is strictly prohibited within the city, even for Nascent Soul cultivators. Lin Qing felt at ease seeking help from Nascent Soul cultivators for alchemy in this city.

However, due to various reasons, he had not entered the Central Holy City in the past five years. This time, he was filled with excitement as he went there.

After flying for about seven days, Lin Qing saw a towering white tower that reached the clouds in the sky. He was delighted because this was probably the famous Tian Sheng Tower of the Central Holy City. It is said that this tower is not only a powerful spiritual treasure, but also extremely strong in terms of defense. Even a Soul Formation cultivator would find it difficult to break through.

It is precisely because of the existence of this Tian Sheng Tower that the Central Holy City has not encountered any major crises for tens of thousands of years.

After seeing the Tian Sheng Tower, as Lin Qing flew closer, the full view of the Central Holy City gradually revealed itself. The entire city is square-shaped, with a length and width of about three hundred miles. The shortest part of the outer city wall is more than thirty zhang high, while the highest part is a hundred zhang high. It is said that there are millions of cultivators living in the city, making it extremely large in scale.

However, due to the mist near the city walls, the buildings inside cannot be clearly seen.

Lin Qing had also heard that this mist is another top-level defensive restriction. Ordinary cultivators can only catch a glimpse of the city's interior by entering through the city gates.

As he approached the nearest city gate, a large number of cultivators appeared around him, bustling in and out.

Previously, whether it was the Xuan Yu District where he stayed or the later Chi Yang Immortal City in the Upper Cloud State, there were a large number of mortals maintaining various aspects of the city besides cultivators. However, in the Central Holy City, there are no mortals present. Only cultivators are allowed to enter, and there is simply no space for mortals to survive.

When Lin Qing landed at the city gate in front of him, the gate was ten zhang high and nearly seven zhang wide, with several guards wearing golden armor standing around it.

With a simple scan of his divine sense, Lin Qing's heart trembled. These guards in golden armor are all at the late stage of the Violet Palace realm. Although the late stage of the Violet Palace realm is considered mid-level among cultivators in the Eastern County, it is still surprising that guards at the late stage of the Violet Palace realm are guarding the city gate.

However, these guards in golden armor do not restrict entry and exit through the city gate.

Lin Qing had long understood this point. No matter what cultivation level a cultivator is, they can enter the Central Holy City without paying spirit stones or facing any restrictions. This is probably the confidence of being the number one city in the cultivation world.

Looking at the crowd coming and going around him, Lin Qing smiled slightly and walked in.

"Wow! Such a bustling city."

As soon as he entered, Lin Qing couldn't help but exclaim.

After the mist from the city walls disappeared, the scene inside the city came into view. The first thing that caught his eye was the various tall and magnificent buildings. Some of these buildings were hundreds of zhang high and grand, while others were only a few zhang high but exquisite and unique. In between these buildings, numerous cultivators were shuttling back and forth like ants, creating a more spectacular scene than any city Lin Qing had visited before.

And upon closer inspection, there were countless shops in the city, so many that it was more than a hundred times the number of shops in other cities in the Eastern County.

In addition, many cultivators walking in this Holy City carried a hint of pride. They seemed to be long-time residents of the Holy City, looking down on many cultivators who were entering for the first time.

This was not surprising. While entry into the Holy City was unrestricted, it was extremely difficult to settle down here.

Even owning an ordinary shop was considered a remarkable achievement, and there were even cases where generations of cultivators struggled before finally settling down. This showed how challenging it was.

However, for someone like Lin Qing, who had reached the Gold Core stage, it was not difficult to settle down.

So even though Lin Qing showed a shocked expression, no cultivator in the city dared to underestimate him. Instead, a cultivator with only an initial stage Foundation Building cultivation approached Lin Qing.

"Senior, is this your first time in the Holy City? My name is Wang Shan, I have seen you, senior," said the cultivator named Wang Shan respectfully to Lin Qing.

"Oh? What do you want?" Lin Qing asked, glancing at him.

"Senior, you may not know, but our Holy City is vast. Although your cultivation is impressive, it seems to be your first time here. It is impossible to understand the situation in the city without spending some time. However, I am different. I have been living in the city for a long time and have a thorough understanding of all aspects. If you have any questions, I will definitely have the answers. If you want to go somewhere, I can also show you the way," Wang Shan said respectfully.

Lin Qing nodded slightly. He had seen cultivators like Wang Shan, who acted as guides in other cities, but he didn't expect that even a cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Building would do such a thing in the Holy City.

"I see. That's good. I do have many things I don't understand," Lin Qing didn't refuse. As he said, there were many things he didn't understand, and he also wanted to quickly understand the Holy City so that he could find someone who could refine the Infant Transformation Pill.

Upon hearing Lin Qing's agreement, Wang Shan felt delighted. Being able to guide a Gold Core cultivator would probably earn him a lot of spirit stones.

Of course, he would never do such a thing before. However, since his family's shop, which had been passed down for generations, was in danger, he had been looking for ways to make some extra money. Surprisingly, the income was not bad.

Next, he led Lin Qing towards the city, and along the way, he began to introduce various things. "For experts like you, there are many accommodation options in the city. The Hundred Immortals Tower in the east of the city is one of them."

As Wang Shan had said, he had a thorough understanding of the Holy City, introducing everything from accommodation options after entering the city to the eight auction houses, more than ten major commercial firms, and other forces in the city. Lin Qing nodded from time to time as he listened.

"Do all these forces have Nascent Soul cultivators?" Lin Qing suddenly asked.

Wang Shan immediately nodded, "Absolutely. All the forces I just mentioned have Nascent Soul cultivators, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to maintain these interests. Senior, you may not know this, but Nascent Soul cultivators, which are rare in other places, are extremely common in our Holy City. You might even encounter one on the way. And let me tell you a secret that outsiders don't know. Based on my observations over the years, there are about two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators in the city."

"Two hundred?" Lin Qing was greatly shocked. This number was too large. The Holy City was even more powerful than he had expected.
