Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 700 Immortal City! (Two Chapters Combined)

Song Changming turned his head and saw a figure whose face was obscured by a hazy mist walking towards him.

It wasn't hard to determine the other party's identity, since the voice was very familiar; it was the yellow-veiled woman who had bought his troll blood and bone.

"Fairy, we meet again." Song Changming greeted her politely.

"Hey, I'm telling you, are you really not carrying any troll blood bones? I can buy them with Immortal Nourishing Pills, even top-grade or even supreme-grade ones, definitely more expensive than the market price!"

Lou Leilei took two steps closer and suddenly whispered something.

Seeing how cautious the other party was, Song Changming glanced thoughtfully at the groups of immortals who were covering their bodies and faces as they walked on the street not far away.

"I'm sorry, there really aren't any more," Song Changming replied.

"Really?"

"of course."

Lou Leilei gave Song Changming a deep look before taking two steps back.

"That's it."

"By the way, is this your first time visiting this immortal city? Would you like me to show you around?"

Lou Leilei quickly changed the subject and suddenly invited Song Changming to join her.

"Then thank you very much, Fairy." Song Changming did not refuse and bowed his hands in thanks.

"No need to keep calling me 'fairy,' just call me by my full name, Lou Leilei," Lou Leilei said quite readily.

"My name is Song Changming." Upon seeing this, Song Changming also introduced himself.

Apart from that, both sides tacitly refrained from revealing any further details about their origins or backgrounds.

"Since you're new here, I suggest you do as I do and conceal your body to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives," Lou Leilei advised.

"Someone with ulterior motives?" Song Changming said, blowing a breath that made his body blurry, as if his entire body had been blurred out, making it difficult to pinpoint his location.

"Yes, I have learned this lesson the hard way. Back then, in front of everyone in the Immortal City, I spent a lot of money to buy a fairy fruit that was said to have fallen from the outer heavens."

As soon as I left the immortal city, I was targeted by five groups of eighteen immortals. Luckily, my sister was with me, otherwise I would have been in big trouble.

Lou Leilei, as someone who experienced it firsthand, offered Song Changming a piece of advice.

"Don't these celestial soldiers stationed in the Immortal City care about this matter?" Song Changming inquired in detail.

He needs to learn more about this immortal city, and even about the entire immortal realm.

"Of course, the task of these heavenly soldiers and generals is to maintain order in the immortal city. No rogue immortal dares to cause trouble in the immortal city, but once we leave the immortal city, those heavenly soldiers and generals will no longer care about our lives or deaths," Lou Leilei explained.

She didn't complain about the heavenly soldiers' ideas; she just thought it was perfectly normal.

After all, this was something beyond their duties, and without personal connections, why would those heavenly soldiers meddle?

"I see, thank you for letting me know." Song Changming nodded his thanks.

He never expected all immortals to live in harmony; he knew that was impossible. Conflict and intrigue exist everywhere, and even immortals have emotions and desires.

They are called immortals, but to be honest, they are just a group of powerful beings who have mastered a terrifying power called immortal power.

They are not the same kind of immortals who save the world in legends.

"What are you doing in this immortal city? Is it just to broaden your horizons?" Lou Leilei asked as she led Song Changming through the immortal city.

Song Changming smiled and nodded, his gaze wandering around.

His main purpose was to broaden his horizons; nowhere else could there be more immortals gathered than here.

This trip to the Immortal City will definitely be worthwhile for him, and will also allow him to better integrate into this Immortal Realm.

The second step is to seek the opportunity to join the Celestial Court.

"By the way, what about the fairy who accompanied Miss Lou?"

"My sister has her own things to do, so I can only wander around by myself. Luckily, I have you here, so at least I have someone to talk to," Lou Leilei said with a light laugh.

She was someone who couldn't stand being alone, lively with a touch of eccentricity, and her temperament was somewhat similar to Xiao Huang in Song Changming's household.

Song Changming said "I see," and didn't ask any more questions about the older sister.

Under the cover of immortal power, he could not figure out the truth about the two sisters. Although they looked like humans, they might not be humans like him who had undergone tribulation to become immortals. They might be immortal beings transformed from other mountain spirits and sea monsters.

For the time being, he did not intend to test the other party's identity or background.

After all, you've only met by chance, and if you accidentally step on someone's sore spot out of curiosity, you'll undoubtedly bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself.

"What do you think of this immortal city?" Once Lou Leilei started talking, she couldn't stop.

“It’s more ordinary than I imagined,” Song Changming said directly.

This celestial city was far less awe-inspiring than the celestial mountain he had seen in the outer heavens.

Even in terms of urban construction, it is far inferior to some of the royal cities in Kyushu. It is like an ordinary small human county town, which can only accommodate a few hundred thousand people at most.

The old-fashioned architectural style lacks the revered aura of a celestial palace or the mysterious and ethereal feeling of a fairyland.

Aside from the surrounding celestial and spiritual energy, what Song Changming perceived was an ancient human city that had been moved to the heavens by someone using great magic, thus becoming known as the Celestial City.

"Haha, not bad, it's really quite ordinary, far inferior to my sister's Jade Palace." Lou Leilei clapped her hands and laughed, seemingly not expecting Song Changming to be so frank.

However, she seemed to agree, believing that this immortal city was just a perfunctory project arranged by the Celestial Court, and had no sincerity whatsoever.

If her sister hadn't come, she wouldn't have bothered wandering around this little fairy city. Going to the nearby Penglai Sea to fish for some fairy fish would have been much more interesting than staying cooped up here.

Song Changming's gaze suddenly fixed on an ancient building.

A stone pillar stands in front of the gate, with several large characters written on it.

Tea party number seven.

"A tea party?" Song Changming saw groups of immortals walking in.

There seemed to be quite a few immortals moving around inside.

"Is this place specifically for visiting immortals to enjoy tea?"

"That's right. Many elderly immortals enjoy tasting all kinds of immortal teas. Of course, they don't go to tea houses. They can book a tea room inside and catch up with old friends or discuss matters with others."

"This place is, after all, in the Immortal City. Although it's a bit old, its security and security are unmatched by any other place," Lou Leilei explained.

After hearing this, Song Changming showed no interest in the tea party and continued walking forward.

Lou Leilei herself had nothing to do and followed Song Changming all the way.

Soon, Song Changming stopped in front of an even larger ancient building.

"Ancient Ruins No. 9?"

"This is where immortals exchange items. If you want to find treasures in the immortal city, this is the place to go," Lou Leilei said.

She obtained that celestial fruit from the ancient ruins of this immortal city.

"The exchange." Song Changming understood immediately. He was quite interested in this place, but he wasn't in a hurry to go in.

He planned to take advantage of Lou Leilei's presence as a free guide and explore the entire Immortal City first.

"Where is this place?"

"The Immortal City provides secluded cultivation rooms, but you need to pay for Immortal Nourishing Pills to use them."

"And here?" "This is a special tribulation site provided by the Immortal City. The Immortal City guarantees its safety, but there is a fee to pay."

"."

The immortal city wasn't too big, and Song Changming and his companion managed to circle around it in about a short time.

Thanks to this woman, Song Changming was able to get a general idea of ​​what this immortal city was like.

He also kept in mind some of the unwritten rules in the Immortal City, so that he wouldn't act recklessly in the dark.

Finally, Song Changming walked to the outside of a fairy castle in the center of the city.

The Fairy Castle appears to be composed of several towers, with sword and dagger symbols representing killing and intimidation on top.

Just one glance at the symbol, and the overwhelming killing intent emanating from it almost made Song Changming lose his senses.

If his Witch God Soul hadn't already reached the fifth level, he might have already collapsed to the ground by now.

"Hey, you're the first one to be able to hold your own against this Zhenxiantai when you first see it." Lou Leilei rarely praised Song Changming.

Throughout the journey, Song Changming seemed like a blank sheet of paper, completely clueless, which made his guide want to complain about him many times.

This time, Song Changming finally stood up for himself.

Song Changming had already withdrawn his gaze from the contact, only then realizing that Lou Leilei had no intention of facing the sword and blade marks on the Immortal Fortress like he had.

"This is the Immortal Fortress, the encampment of the heavenly soldiers and generals. Sometimes the Celestial Court issues announcements to the world, which are also posted here in the Immortal Fortress to convey the messages," Lou Leilei habitually explained.

Song Changming's eyes lit up; this was the Immortal Fortress he had been looking for.

If the Celestial Court were to recruit more Heavenly Soldiers, the news would be made public in this Celestial Fortress, and Song Changming would only need to participate in the selection process.

Their gaze quickly fell on a massive square monument, nearly a hundred feet tall, outside the immortal fortress.

The square stele is neither gold, iron, nor stone; it is a translucent crystal with flowing divine power that manifests as characters.

After carefully reviewing the document, Song Changming confirmed that it was indeed an official announcement from the Celestial Court.

There were bounty information for vanquishing demons, as well as announcements of wicked immortals being captured by the Celestial Court, brought to heaven, and judged and executed.

Furthermore, the matters that certain Celestial Venerables, Heavenly Kings, and Immortals of the Celestial Court requested to be conveyed will also be included and presented piece by piece.

Among them was Yuan Tianzun, whom Song Changming recognized.

This deity conveyed nothing more than a scripture.

The text was short, and Song Changming quickly memorized it. After a little deduction, he understood that it was a text used to enlighten spirits, easy to understand, and universally applicable.

"Is this for the benefit of all living beings?" Song Changming quickly understood Yuan Tianzun's intention to do good deeds.

"If this scripture is useful and spreads widely, countless spirits who benefit from it will surely be grateful to this celestial being."

Song Changming subconsciously thought about the influence this scripture could have, which was probably not small.

Upon closer inspection of the date of the posted scripture, it turned out to be three thousand years ago!

Looking at the dates of the announcements posted by other celestial beings and immortals, very few are recent; they are at least fifty years ago.

The oldest of these events dates back five thousand years!

One has to marvel once again at how incredibly long the time scale of these immortals is.

A simple task assigned to someone can continue for thousands of years.

Skipping over these, Song Changming's gaze swept around, searching for the most recent public notice.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

"Have it!"

Announcement of the Heavenly Soldiers Trial! It was released a year ago!

In terms of the Celestial Court's time span, a year ago is equivalent to a recent announcement.

Since the trial announcement has not been removed, it means that the trial is still ongoing and has not ended.

Lou Leilei had obviously also noticed that Song Changming was staring intently at the notice wall, but Song Changming's face was blurred and obscured, so she couldn't tell which notice he was currently focusing on.

Out of curiosity, Lou Leilei asked directly.

"What are you looking at?"

"Read the Heavenly Soldier Trial." This wasn't something to be ashamed of, so Song Changming didn't hide it and answered truthfully.

"You're going to work in the Celestial Court?" Lou Leilei was taken aback, then understood.

"I do have that idea," Song Changming nodded.

"Then you'd better be careful. There are many factions in the Heavenly Court. If you're not careful, you could be sacrificed as cannon fodder." Lou Leilei didn't seem surprised by this and just casually reminded her.

"Furthermore, this Heavenly Soldier Trial is not easy. You need strength, potential, and a powerful background."

"Miss Lou, please elaborate," Song Changming asked, seeing that she seemed quite knowledgeable about the Heavenly Soldiers Trial.

"Strength goes without saying. If you can overpower all the other trial participants, that's fine. If not, then we'll need to look at your potential and aptitude. If the path to immortality is already predictable, then you naturally won't be selected."

Furthermore, regarding the background, if a celestial official from the Celestial Court knows you and puts a good word for you, many problems will no longer be so troublesome, and you might even be able to decide your fate directly without going through trials and selections.

Lou Leilei chuckled as she revealed some inside information about the trial. It was clear that she wasn't very enthusiastic about this so-called Celestial Court Trial, and even seemed somewhat disdainful.

Ultimately, it was because the trial was not pure, which she found unacceptable.

After hearing this, Song Changming didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

There is no such thing as fairness and justice in this world; we cannot be too idealistic.

Since he can still rely on his strength, he still has a chance to overcome this Heavenly Soldier Trial, which is already quite good.

The immortals standing in front of the public notice stele were actually far more than just Song Changming.

Many have even set their sights on that official document regarding the Heavenly Soldier Trial.

"It's the Heavenly Soldiers' Trial of the Northern Celestial Army, huh?"

"What, brother, is it not good to be part of the Northern Celestial Army?"

"With my abilities, the one I most want to join is the Demon-Slaying Immortal Army. It has a high status, and I can make meritorious contributions by slaying demons. The Heavenly Guardian Army is also not bad. It's comfortable and I'm closer to those celestial gods. As for the Northern Immortal Army, it's not quite as appealing."

"Hehe, in my opinion, brother, you shouldn't aim too high," someone else chimed in with a light laugh.

"What do you mean?" The person who had just been saying that the Northern Immortal Army was no good swept his gaze coldly over.

"As far as I know, the Demon-Slaying Immortal Army and the Heavenly Guardian Army are short of troops. They usually draw soldiers and generals from other immortal armies and rarely recruit from outside. You can forget about it," the man said, arms crossed.

Because his face was obscured, it was difficult to see clearly, but it's not hard to imagine that this person's expression must have been one of contempt.

"Hmph! Even so, among the four immortal armies, the Northern Immortal Army is the weakest, which is why the north is plagued by rampant violence and cannot be effectively suppressed." The person who spoke earlier was still trying to prove that what he said was true.

But no one responded to him anymore; after all, there was no point in continuing the argument, and it might even lead to unnecessary trouble.

More importantly, someone emerged from the immortal fortress, interrupting all the immortals' private discussions.

Song Changming, with his keen senses, intercepted a lot of useful information from the conversation between these immortals.

Just as she was about to discuss something with the guide beside her, Lou Leilei suddenly said with some surprise, "Oh, sister."
