Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Time flies,

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

At the same time, a new year has begun.

Lin Xiu got up from the bed, supporting his waist, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He didn't expect Li Yingxue's combat power to be so strong. His pride in his martial arts skills as a Martial Warrior was showing signs of being unable to withstand it.

"You, why didn't Wen'er show up at the right time?"

Li Yingxue buried her head in the blanket and chuckled.

"Isn't it because she's afraid of losing face in front of you? Do you now understand the power of the Innate Realm these days?"

Indeed, it was powerful.

He remembered the first day when he let Li Yingxue take the initiative. Unexpectedly, his wife almost dismantled all his bones, as if she had been hit by the "Bone Dislocation Technique".

Hmm,

It's like the Songguo Songgu or the Nanshan small country's horse-killing chicken.

But it was really comfortable!

"Today, I'm going to attend the New Year's gathering of the Qian family's patriarch. I'll probably be back late. Don't take out the Fengming Sword from the pond. If there's any danger, just push it away!"

Li Yingxue had no spiritual energy and couldn't activate the "Golden Gong Talisman".

So he made a small wooden box.

As long as Li Yingxue slapped the lid of the wooden box with force, it would activate the spiritual energy of a low-grade spirit stone inside, and activating ten talismans would send them soaring into the sky.

He believed that with Li Yingxue's current cultivation level, as long as she didn't encounter powerful bandits, she would have a good chance of escaping.

"You also need to be careful. After all, you haven't been out of the market for decades."

Lin Xiu nodded, didn't eat breakfast, and went straight out of the courtyard.

Arriving at the front of the Qian family's old shop,

There were already more than a dozen cultivators gathered here, including alchemists and talisman masters, all of whom had the qualifications to ascend to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Most of them were in the late Qi Refining stage, and there was even one person in the Foundation Building stage!

Compared to them, his cultivation level was actually the lowest.

Lin Xiu had had contact with them before, so they knew each other.

When the shopkeeper Qian saw him, he immediately greeted him and pointed to the five cultivators behind him,

"Brother Lin, these are the disciples of the master of the house. They will ensure your safety later, so rest assured!"

Lin Xiu looked over and immediately clasped his hands to these people,

"Thank you, seniors!"

Surprisingly, they were all in the Foundation Building stage!

As for the specific cultivation level, it couldn't be determined by divination. After all, he was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

These people nodded,

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

After speaking, they walked along Wangxiang Street to the end, which was the edge covered by the defensive formation.

Then, these people stepped out and jumped into the air, and a flying sword appeared under their feet.

Others also walked out of the formation and flew into the air on their flying swords.

Lin Xiu rummaged through his storage bag and took out a low-grade flying sword that he hadn't used in nearly thirty years. It wobbled and followed behind him, attracting the attention of many people.

It was a bit embarrassing, but he didn't care.

The skill of flying on a sword looked mysterious, but it could actually be seen as a car. The only difference was that it could fly.

The better the flying sword, the faster the speed, and the less spiritual power it consumed. The downside was that it had little attack power and could easily break apart.

The flying sword under Lin Xiu's feet...

It can barely be considered a Jetta,

More like one that's about to be scrapped.

Looking down from the sky at the Ping'an Market, I realized that it had changed since twenty years ago, it had become bigger and seemed even more chaotic.

Thirteen formation towers stood in various corners of the market, emitting waves of spiritual energy that enveloped the entire market, giving a sense of security.

But the unease in Lin Xiu's heart grew stronger.

"Formation, Vice Sect Master, secret!"

Now he could deduce that the word "secret" likely referred to a secret realm, and whether the word "formation" was related to this large formation was worth considering.

The market was only about fifty miles away from the Qianjue Peak.

The high-level demonic beasts in the mountain ridges, forests, and ravines had long been slaughtered, leaving only small demonic beasts with little attacking power. There was no need to worry about a big guy suddenly jumping out and turning you into breakfast excrement.

Qianjue Peak was the main peak and the place where the Vice Sect Master and a Nascent Soul elder cultivated in seclusion. Of course, they wouldn't go there, otherwise they would be blasted into pieces by the mountain guarding formation before they even got close.

The main peak was surrounded by a dozen smaller floating mountains, each of which was a Cave Mansion for a Gold Core disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, responsible for managing the affairs of the entire Thousand Despair Mountains.

On the way, they encountered three waves of Independent Cultivators from three other markets. The four groups merged into one and landed on a large square in front of the floating mountain.

As soon as Lin Xiu stepped onto the square, he immediately felt the dense spiritual energy here, almost forming a visible mist. He couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Wealth, law, partner, and Cave Mansion are the four essential elements of cultivation. Owning a good Cave Mansion is the lifelong wish of every cultivator.

The higher the cultivation level, the higher the requirements for a Cave Mansion, but resources are limited, so competition for Cave Mansions is very common in the entire cultivation world.

A Foundation Building stage cultivator had been waiting here for a long time, with eighteen beautiful female cultivators at the Qi Refining stage standing behind him.

Lin Xiu licked his lips.

Sure enough, it was the Purple Cloud Sect. As soon as a Gold Core disciple sat down, there were so many beautiful girls who were just one step away from success in the Foundation Building stage. There were probably not a few Foundation Building cultivators either.

No wonder the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty could only fight them to a draw. No one could take advantage of them.

The shopkeeper bowed to this person and said, "Senior Zhao, these are the guests invited by the Sect Master to pray for a good harvest this year."

Then he turned and introduced, "This is Senior Zhao Yijian, who is in charge of entertaining our old customers today."

The Independent Cultivators immediately bowed, "Greetings, Senior Zhao!"

Zhao Yijian waved his hand, and a peaceful aura lifted everyone up. "You are all guests of our Sect Master, no need for formalities. Follow me!"

The Cave Mansion of this host was more like a small sect's mountain gate, much more magnificent than the one Lin Xiu came from. Spiritual pets were everywhere, and rare flowers and plants made someone want to pluck a few and run away.

These were all good things for alchemy, but they were being used as bonsai.

What a waste!

He felt like a bumpkin, following the Independent Cultivators who were equally envious, into the central hall.

The spiritual energy in the hall was even denser, and it was clear that a Spirit Gathering formation had been set up below, with spiritual energy swirling around the entire space, as if there were countless dry ice machines blowing vigorously.

"Ah, when will I be able to have a Cave Mansion like this? It's worth dying for."

A high-grade alchemist next to him sighed, and many people nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiu snapped his fingers, feeling disdainful.

Even if I die, it's useless to give me a Lingxiao Hall. It's only worth having if I'm alive!

At this moment, a wave of pressure spread into the hall, and everyone knew that the host had arrived, immediately bowing and waiting.

Then, a voice came from the front,

"I am Qian Qingquan, I thank all the Fellow Daoists for supporting my Qian family, please have a seat."

Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely clear and could be heard by everyone,

It was neither harsh nor unpleasant,

But it gave people a feeling of being kept at a distance.

Lin Xiu couldn't help but sit up straight, becoming even more cautious.

Finally, the mysterious Qian family's patriarch appeared.
