The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

At this moment, the alley from last night has disappeared.

In its place is a wall, connecting the two buildings.

However, the position of this wall is obviously problematic, as there is at least a yard's distance between the two buildings.

Within this distance, there is no need to build a wall.

With a pensive look, Li Qing's gaze swept around, and a teahouse appeared before his eyes.

He walked over, and the waiter, seeing him, quickly greeted him with a nod and a bow.

"Guest, please come inside!"

"Guest, first floor or second floor?"

"Second floor by the window, I want to see the street view."

"Alright, a table on the second floor!"

...

Li Qing sat by the window, ordered a pot of good tea and some small dishes, and then looked towards the location of the wall.

From his elevated position, he could see inside the wall, where there were two households' courtyards separated by another wall.

Frowning, Li Qing felt that there was something mysterious about this place.

"My memory cannot be wrong, there are two possibilities."

"Either some kind of spell that can shield others' sight."

"Or, that alley only appears at night, in some kind of mysterious space or something."

Lost in thought, Li Qing silently observed.

Soon, evening arrived, and the people in the teahouse dispersed.

Li Qing also quietly left, and he arrived at the opposite side of the wall, squatting in another alley.

His gaze never stopped looking across, quietly waiting.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky had completely darkened.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of cooking as the city's residents were preparing their meals.

Time passed second by second, and soon it was the dead of night.

Suddenly, the wall across from him underwent a strange change.

A hazy distortion appeared, the wall disappeared, and once again became a dark alley.

Li Qing immediately became alert, but he did not act rashly, continuing to quietly observe.

In just a short while, a figure emerged from the left side street and quietly entered the alley.

One after another, four or five figures arrived from various places, quickly pouring into the alley.

Li Qing silently observed, "These people can see each other, but there is no dispute."

"In other words, if I were to enter with them, no one would pay me any mind."

Another hour passed, and Li Qing had seen at least a hundred figures enter.

He had already formed an idea in his mind, "Last night, there were roughly the same number of people coming out intermittently. It can be confirmed that this place should be a gathering place for a certain tradition."

"Let's try going in and take a look."

He was already prepared, taking out a black robe from his backpack and covering his entire body with it.

In his left hand, he held a summoning card, and a hundred-section steel sword hung from his waist, ready to use spells and martial arts at any time.

A layer of shadow enveloped him, and Li Qing silently and soundlessly walked towards the opposite side.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the dark alley. Standing so close, he still couldn't see anything inside the alley.

Due to his cultivation, his vision had long surpassed that of an ordinary person.

"Interesting!"

Taking a step forward, he felt as if he had passed through a strange film.

A marvelous world appeared before his eyes.

A bustling street, three yards wide and at least dozens of yards long.

On both sides of the street, he even saw some shops, at least twenty or thirty in a single glance.

His pupils slightly contracted, "Is this the truth of the alley?"

A voice sounded beside him, "Don't block the entrance, move aside."

The voice from behind startled Li Qing, and he quickly stepped aside.

A cultivator in a black robe walked out from behind him and went straight to the depths of the street.

Li Qing stopped his own spell and, in his black robe, walked into the street.

There were quite a few stalls on both sides of the street, mostly with a white cloth and several items placed on top.

Some were animal skins, some were stones, and some looked like weapons, or Law Weapons?

All sorts of strange and diverse items.

He even found some mysterious transparent stones that had once burst out like killing monkeys.

Li Qing felt a little excited and began to silently observe and gather information on this street.

The street was not long, about thirty yards in total.

On both sides, there were fifteen shops, seemingly trading and selling all sorts of things.

Treasure Weapon Hall, Spirit Medicine Shop, Pill Shop, Law Weapon Pavilion, and Scripture Tower, and so on.

The currency used for transactions here was a peculiar coin.

The coin was round and looked like a copper coin, but it emitted a faint and wondrous fluctuation inside, which was the fluctuation of Essence Qi.

Li Qing eavesdropped and learned that this was called Law Money.

It seemed to be the main currency in circulation, but he didn't know how it was made.

At this moment, Li Qing's gaze fell on a person selling something, and this person gave him a very uneasy feeling.

He had been quietly observing, and the person was wearing a black robe, with no visible body.

There was a faint, elusive odor emanating from him, making Li Qing shudder.

Suddenly, a strange tentacle popped out from under the person's black robe, pitch black and with a slippery feeling.

Li Qing's whole body broke out in goosebumps.

It seemed that the person noticed someone observing him and abruptly turned his head to look at Li Qing.

"Friend, is there anything you want to buy? You seem to have been looking for a long time."

The voice was deep and seemed to belong to a strong and open-minded person.

But Li Qing had already seen the change in the person's eyes, and without any hesitation, he directly used the "Lunar Shadow Art".

The figure in the black robe was shrouded in a shadow, and a coldness emanated from all around.

A pair of eyes, like venomous snakes, stared at him, seemingly searching for something.

Li Qing pretended to be calm and walked to the other end of the street.

He had already learned enough about the situation here, and tonight he did not intend to take any action.

He quietly left the place, and outside, the sky was still dark. Li Qing quickly disappeared into the shadows.

Just a few breaths after he left, a figure followed him.

A pair of eerie eyes seemed to be searching for something in the air.

Silently, the figure followed in the direction where Li Qing had disappeared.
