Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

After leaving the City Lord's mansion, Qu Chongyi immediately bid farewell to Fire Crow Taoist: "Please forgive me, Real Person. I must go to my sect's temporary residence here, so I will take my leave now. Our sect's Wei Zengdao, Real Person Wei, is stationed in the Second Demon Suppression City. When you arrive there, please come and see him."

Immediately afterward, he transmitted his voice, saying, "Real Person, the flying boat escort is likely to have hidden dangers. Please be careful!"

Fire Crow Taoist smiled and nodded: "This poor Taoist has long admired your esteemed sect's integrity and looks forward to meeting Real Person Wei."

Watching Qu Chongyi depart, the group then turned east, heading towards the Xuan Tian Sect's station in the city.

Fire Crow Taoist once again suppressed his cultivation. Although he passed through many densely populated areas along the way, he did not cause any disturbances.

In the southern part of the city's east side, the group stopped in front of a street-facing building.

"Senior, this is it, the Tiannan City branch of the Xuanyu Trading Company."

Fire Crow Taoist casually glanced at it, only to see that the building was only three stories high, slightly shabby compared to the buildings next to it. On the north side of the street, more than a dozen tall buildings rose from the ground, much more impressive than this Xuanyu Trading Company.

He smiled slightly: "The inter-domain flying boat requires ten days of preparation. We will stay here in the meantime, which will allow us to see the Immortal City."

Two young cultivators of the Qi Refining stage stood at the entrance of the building. When they saw that Fire Crow Taoist and the others had profound auras and high cultivation levels, one of them immediately greeted them, while the other went inside to report.

"Welcome, seniors, to the Xuanyu Trading Company. Our store is a trading company under the Nanyu Great Sect, Xuan Tian Sect, with a complete range of goods and excellent quality, especially unique in spirit talismans and array devices, with a wide reputation—"

"Enough!" Zhang Yuanjing waved his hand with a smile, "I am from the Xuan Tian Sect myself, so there is no need to say these things to family. Is the shop's steward here?"

This young cultivator looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a cultivation level of only the third layer of Qi Refining, obviously having ordinary aptitude. He was probably just a retainer hired by the shop's steward, rather than a formal disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect.

However, this person had been in the Immortal City's market for a long time and reacted very quickly. He immediately bowed to the ground and exclaimed: "So it is a sect elder who has arrived. This humble one, Hong Rensong, greets the elder. May I ask if the elder's surname is Zhang?"

"Oh, how do you know my surname is Zhang?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in surprise.

Hong Rensong quickly kowtowed twice on the ground, and said nimbly: "This humble one greets Palace Master Zhang. Two years ago, Elder Lu passed by Tiannan City and specifically instructed the store that the Xuan Yuan Palace Master of the sect would come here. If you see him, you must serve him well. This humble one remembers clearly, seeing that the elder came from the sect, I thought it should be the Palace Master."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled: "You are quite clever, get up and speak."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a pale face, no beard, and sunken eyes walked out of the store. He was wearing a gray robe with gold and silver threads inlaid on it, with an aura flowing inside, obviously some kind of restriction.

"Ju Yuanzhan, the steward of the Tiannan Trading Company, greets Palace Master Zhang, and greets this senior!" The middle-aged man had obviously heard the conversation between Hong Rensong and Zhang Yuanjing. As soon as he came out, he immediately came over to pay his respects to Zhang Yuanjing, while also not forgetting to greet Fire Crow Taoist, who was standing aside smiling without saying a word.

"Oh, so it's Junior Brother Yuanzhan. How is Uncle Master Tiancong recently?"

Ju Yuanzhan was Hu Tiancong's youngest disciple, not very old, and his cultivation was only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. It seemed that he had come to the Immortal City with Hu Tiancong more than ten years ago.

"Thank you for your concern, Palace Master Zhang. My master is stationed at the main branch of the Third Demon Suppression City and is doing well!" Ju Yuanzhan replied with a calm expression. "Palace Master, please come into the building to talk."

Under the guidance of Ju Yuanzhan, the group entered the trading company and went straight to the third floor. In the center of the third floor was a bright and spacious reception room, with more than a dozen guest rooms on both sides, specially for the Xuan Tian Sect's people to rest when they came.

Zhang Yuanjing invited Fire Crow Taoist to sit in the seat of honor, and was about to introduce him to Ju Yuanzhan when he suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the first floor, and couldn't help but frown.

A hint of anger appeared on Ju Yuanzhan's face, but he concealed it very well. He apologized and hurried away.

Zhang Yuanjing swept his divine sense and took in the words of the people on the first floor, sneering, and said to Yuan Zhilin behind him: "Junior Brother Yuan, go and drive them away!"

Yuan Zhilin's expression immediately brightened, and he jumped up directly from his seat, grinning: "Senior Brother Zhang, just watch!"

After saying that, he didn't dare to look at Fire Crow Taoist's face, and turned around and went downstairs.

Ju Yuanzhan arrived downstairs first, but before he could speak, the first floor became even more noisy.

Several cultivators who had entered the store were ridiculing, threatening, and enticing him, but they wanted him to sell the store's various goods, especially spirit talismans and array devices, to them at a low price.

Although Ju Yuanzhan was angry, he was very restrained, only saying that without his master Hu Tiancong's order, he could not sell goods to his peers. Even if they came every day and forced him every day, it would be useless.

Those people's cultivation levels were all in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, one level higher than Ju Yuanzhan. They were probably here to cause trouble often, so they didn't say much. One by one, they began to break into the store at will, and also insulted Ju Yuanzhan, saying that he, the trading company's steward, was just a puppet and was of no use at all.

Ju Yuanzhan ignored them, only guarding the restrictions on the display cases, not letting them get close.

When Yuan Zhilin went down, the situation immediately changed. He had received Zhang Yuanjing's instructions and had a Nascent Soul True Person as his backer, so how could he be afraid of trouble. He directly released his Foundation Establishment Completion cultivation, suppressed a few people, pointed at their noses and scolded them, and even sprayed their faces with saliva.

The few people didn't know when this always weak Xuanyu Trading Company had a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator, and were somewhat hesitant for a while.

A middle-aged cultivator narrowed his eyes and warned him: "Fellow Daoist, cultivation is not easy, why bother wading into this muddy water! Do you know where we are from?"

Yuan Zhilin pretended to be surprised: "Oh, where are you from? Aren't you just a few nobodies!"

"Nobodies? Saying it will knock your teeth out!" The middle-aged cultivator said arrogantly, "Dragon King Pavilion, Crane Soaring Tower, Dengyuan Hall, Quying Hall, Bishouxuan, have you heard of them?"

Yuan Zhilin slanted his eyes: "You're rattling off place names quite smoothly, are you probably a greeter from some brokerage? Say a few more for Grandpa to hear, let Grandpa see how much you know!"

The middle-aged cultivator was first stunned, then furious: "I am the steward of the Dragon King Pavilion, how dare you insult me!"

As he said this, he made a gesture to attack, but Yuan Zhilin had been waiting for this moment. He struck first, using a high-grade spirit weapon flying sword to slash at his ribs, causing him to fall to the ground on the spot.

The other four were startled. They usually traded goods with passing cultivators in the Immortal City, making money with courtesy. Even if demon beasts attacked the city, there were large arrays and city guards to protect them. Where had they seen such a presumptuous cultivator?

One person sternly reprimanded: "This is within the Immortal City, how dare you recklessly use weapons and harm others, wait to be arrested and punished by the City Lord's Mansion!"

Yuan Zhilin rolled his eyes, his mouth tilted, and sneered: "Recklessly using weapons? You few, in broad daylight, ganged up to break into my Xuanyu Trading Company, ignoring warnings, forcibly approaching the goods counter, intending to be unruly, it's only right to kill you!"

He took two steps forward, the fire sword at his side spitting out flames, scaring that person to retreat a few steps, his face full of fear.

Ju Yuanzhan, who had been watching silently, stepped forward at this time and smiled at Yuan Zhilin: "Senior Brother, after all, the Immortal City pays attention to rules, let them leave first."

Yuan Zhilin raised his chin: "Since Junior Brother Ju has spoken, get out!"
