I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 477 Family Members (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The big black bear looked up blankly at the empty snowfield and shouted, "Where are they? Where did they go?"

Recalling the last time a Golden Core cultivator fought with the city lord, that Golden Core cultivator was so despicable. He couldn't beat the city lord, so he ran around the city, provoking people as he went.

As a result, they were relentlessly pursued by their city lord, who nearly destroyed the entire city before finally beheading that man.

The big black bear hurriedly spread out his divine sense to search for the surrounding movements. He regretted that he hadn't paid off the debt to that pharmacy owner. That was the spirit stones he had saved up by carrying goods for the major merchants in the city for three years!

Zhao Cangyun stood to the side, a golden glint flashing in his eyes, and then he sniffed.

"They are still in the courtyard, blocked by the formation, so their aura will not leak out and you cannot see them, but you can try to touch this place."

Upon hearing this, the big black bear got up and, like a blind man, stretched out his feet and claws, groping forward little by little until he was blocked by an invisible wall. When he pressed his paws against it, he could feel a slight vibration.

The big black bear, shocked, seemed to realize something and turned to ask Zhao Cangyun with narrowed eyes.

"Is this formation for sale? I want to prepare one for our city lord, so that she can use it to her advantage in the future!"

Zhao Cangyun said, "You'll have to ask my senior sister about that."

After a cup of tea.

The air in the courtyard suddenly vibrated, and a figure flew backward, landing in front of the ruins of the collapsed house. He staggered back two steps before regaining his balance.

Zhao Cangyun looked at Liu Xueren without surprise. Her cloak was gone, and her clothes underneath were covered with cuts from sword energy. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Although he was defeated, he wasn't particularly humiliated, which shows that his senior sister gave the city lord enough face.

As the formation dissipated, Jiang Yi remained unchanged, not a single hair missing. She raised her hand, palm up, and the five copper coins returned to her palm on their own.

Liu Xueren casually tossed the greatsword to the big black bear beside him. The big black bear instinctively reached out to catch it, but was knocked to the ground by the weight of the greatsword.

Liu Xueren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the excitement in his eyes fading, replaced by admiration for Jiang Yi.

"That was exhilarating! No wonder you are the number one swordsman in the Golden Core realm today!"

Jiang Yi's features were scrunched up; it looked like she was cursing someone.

"Liu Kuaiji, serve tea!"

Liu Xueren wanted to invite Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun inside, but when she turned around and saw the ruins of the house behind her, she was completely embarrassed.

The big black bear, clutching her large knife, muttered, "Where did we get our tea?"

Jiang Yi also admired Liu Xueren's genuine nature and came to the rescue, saying, "My junior brother and I have come to visit because we want to ask the city lord for help. It is only right that we two should treat you. On the way here, we saw a restaurant nearby. If the city lord does not mind, why don't you join us for a drink?"

"Excellent! Let's go!"

Liu Xueren nodded, not forgetting to bring the big black bear along, but frowned when she saw that the big black bear wasn't wearing any clothes.

"Liu Kuaiji, how many times have I told you that you have to wear clothes when you're on human territory, you can't run around naked! Honestly, what kind of behavior is this!"

The big black bear muttered, "I feel more comfortable sunbathing when I'm covered in black fur. I don't feel anything sunbathing in white clothes!"

After Liu Xueren and the big black bear changed their clothes, the group arrived at the restaurant. Zhao Cangyun paid for a private room and prepared a table of food and wine.

The big black bear was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. After receiving permission from Jiang Yi and Liu Xueren, he ate heartily.

"Has the city lord been to Beixuan?" Jiang Yi casually started a conversation.

Liu Xueren nodded, "Yes, about sixty years ago, he traveled around alone, going to Beixuan with a merchant ship. He stayed at Nanguan Ferry for a few months and then came back with the merchant ship."

"That's where I met this guy. The docks were full of his kind, all of them strong and eager to carry bags and pull carts. He was the only skinny little guy who was being bullied among the bears. I felt sorry for him, so I bought him."

"It's a pity I'm not one of your Northern Xuan Demon Tamers. Although I managed to raise him to the current early stage of the Golden Core realm, he still hasn't taken human form and remains in this pathetic state. I don't know what went wrong."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "It's alright. I have a friend whose family has a long history of scholarship. I'll have her come and take a look at the city lord's house later. Perhaps she can figure out the problem." "Thank you. Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"

Jiang Yi didn't need to beat around the bush with a straightforward person, so she directly signaled Zhao Cangyun to take out the shield with the demon seed embedded in it.

"Is this a demon species?" Liu Xueren recognized the demon species.

Jiang Yi nodded, "Yes, this demon seed is from the Black Dragon. Only the Black Dragons of Beixuan have demon seeds. Before the destruction of Beixuan, the number of Black Dragons was very small. They lived together with other demon spirit groups."

"When Beixuan was destroyed, these demon spirits fled together. I don't know what happened to them, but the city lord should have heard that the three major sword sects are now supporting the Beixuan demon tamers to rebuild the Beixuan Cangling Sect in the Kunwu Mountains."

“My junior brothers were ordered to select suitable demon beasts for breeding in various parts of the Eastern Continent. Now that they have suddenly discovered the traces of these Northern Xuan Demon Spirits, they naturally have to find them and bring them into the Cangling Sect.”

Liu Xueren suddenly realized, "So you want me to help you find out where this demonic species came from?"

Zhao Cangyun said impatiently, "Yes, please help me, City Lord."

"Where did this shield come from?"

“It came from Tongbaolou Auction House,” Zhao Cangyun said.

"Okay, I'll try to find out for you. Just wait patiently for a few days."

With Liu Xueren's words, Zhao Cangyun finally felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

After that, Liu Xueren ignored Zhao Cangyun and kept chatting with Jiang Yi, saying that she wanted to fight Jiang Yi a few more times because the venue was limited before.

Jiang Yi readily agreed, but she didn't mean she would personally take the lead.

Liu Xueren's swordsmanship is indeed excellent, and her late-stage Golden Core cultivation is not weak either. Since she likes to fight so much, we can let Zhen Shan Duan Jin and the others fight with her, just as free sparring partners.

Over the years, Zhenshan Duanjin has not had many opportunities to fight people, and his combat experience is indeed lagging behind other demon spirits.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely over the drinks. Big Black Bear gripped Zhao Cangyun's hand tightly, tears welling in his eyes, thanking Zhao Cangyun for feeding him.

As a fellow demon, Zhao Cangyun felt deep sympathy for the black bear. Despite not having a master-servant contract with him, the bear hadn't run away, proving itself to be a loyal bear.

In the following days, Zhao Cangyun would go to see the big black bear whenever he had free time, and take him out for food and drink.

Zhao Cangyun also took the big black bear to find Shen Puning and Shang Shixu. After studying the big black bear for a while, the two of them discovered that he was unable to transform into human form after forming his core because his cultivation level was artificially boosted. His demon seed's aptitude level did not actually reach the Xuan level corresponding to the Golden Core level.

As long as you follow the method of the Northern Mystic Demon Spirit to upgrade the demon species level, find the corresponding rare and precious materials, and then find a suitable place to set up an array to absorb the rare and precious materials, you can make up for it.

When Liu Xueren forms his Nascent Soul, a contract will be made with him to form his natal demon spirit. He will then be able to use a trace of the power of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation to complete his transformation, and this will not affect Liu Xueren's future cultivation.

Shen Puning also made a list for the big black bear, comparing it with the material list for advancing the Northern Profound Demon Spirit and the effects of various rare and precious materials from the Eastern Continent, so that he could try them out.

Jiang Yi also had Hong Li and Duan Jin work together to craft an array plate for the big black bear. Next time Liu Xue Ren gets into a fight with someone, the big black bear can trap her inside to prevent her from damaging the surrounding buildings.

It can also prevent Liu Xueren's opponent from escaping, allowing her to end the battle quickly. At least until Liu Xueren forms her Nascent Soul, the power of this array is sufficient.

The big black bear was deeply moved, feeling as if it were a bear that had been wandering alone in a foreign land and had suddenly met its family.

Xin Wushuang even gave the big black bear a token from the Cangling Sect, so that he could seek help from the Cangling Sect if needed in the future.

As a result, the big black bear became much bolder, urging Liu Xueren to hurry up and gather information every day. If she didn't gather information, he would follow her around and nag her.

Then, in less than seven days, Liu Xueren used her connections among the rogue cultivators in Zhenzhou to find out the information they wanted.

The demon seed originated from the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, controlled by the Thunder Sect, the number one sect in Zhenzhou. In addition, there are other types of magical treasures made from demon seeds, which are sold in Tongbao Towers in various cities within Zhenzhou, with a quantity exceeding one hundred.

Zhao Cangyun and Yu Hui knew perfectly well what this meant.

The demons of Beixuan may be trapped in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm!
