Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 173 Cloud Sea Immortal City
This is why there are so many cultivators here.

It is precisely because of the large number of cultivators that elite talents can emerge in a continuous stream, much like a breeding ground for venomous insects.

In a highly competitive environment, outstanding individuals are more likely to stand out.

How big is Cloudsea City?

Su You wasn't sure, but from the high place, he couldn't see the end of the road.

After leaving the teleportation array, a dedicated guide came forward to provide directions.

Su You could see through the other party's cultivation level with just one glance.

In the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, a fifth-grade Golden Core is formed.

With this level of cultivation, if placed in the Yun'an Realm, one could barely become the leader of a small sect. Moreover, a fifth-grade Golden Core is not low, and there are still quite a few opportunities to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, within the Cloud Sea Immortal City, she was merely a maidservant who greeted and saw off guests.

This is what truly constitutes profound knowledge and experience.

"Yun Yun greets Senior. Is this your first time visiting Cloud Sea Immortal City, or a return visit? Would you like me to explain the rules here?" the welcoming maid said softly.

Her name alone evokes a sense of warmth and comfort, coupled with her pure and charming appearance and impeccable manners; it's no wonder she was assigned here.

For them, receiving cultivators who travel through the teleportation array could, if they were lucky enough to encounter some powerful figures, allow them to easily bestow a small reward when the other party was in a good mood, which could change the other party's fate.

If one were to be chosen as a concubine, that would be an even greater stroke of luck.

Most of the concubines of powerful men are still considered normal, except that they tend to tire of the old and crave the new quickly, but this is also part of changing their fate.

Su You only glanced at it, and wasn't tempted at all.

The other person's appearance was indeed pure and charming, but compared to An Ling'er, she was worlds apart.

Even An Ling'er's appearance before she started cultivating couldn't compare, let alone the amazing improvements she made in appearance, temperament, figure, and so on after she started cultivating.

To exaggerate, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's as beautiful as an angel.

Having grown accustomed to rich, meaty meals, he certainly wouldn't be interested in such a small amount of pickled vegetables.

However, he had no interest in women, but he was extremely interested in the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

Su You's understanding of Cloud Sea Immortal City mostly comes from various ancient books; he has not yet visited it in person.

I don't know much about the situation here, or the rules and regulations.

"Oh, could you explain the rules here? If you do a good job, I can hire you as my guide," Su You said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior." Yun Yun pursed her lips and introduced earnestly, "Senior, Yunhai Immortal City is the most prestigious and powerful immortal city in the Chuanhai Spiritual Domain. According to incomplete official statistics, the number of cultivators coming and going in the immortal city every day is as high as tens of billions, and the number of cultivators living inside is even greater, possibly reaching trillions. Therefore, in order to prevent chaos in Yunhai Immortal City, Yunhai Tower has formulated a series of detailed rules to ensure that everyone who comes to Yunhai Immortal City abides by the rules."

The first step is entering the city. The Cloud Sea Immortal City is vast, with as many as 100,000 city gates. All cultivators heading to the Immortal City must fly at different altitudes according to their cultivation level to prevent accidental collisions. In addition, flying is prohibited within ten miles of the city gate.

After passing through the long crowds, you enter the Cloud Sea Immortal City. If you want to stay in the city, you must apply for a temporary residence permit and have a temporary cave dwelling. If you want to stay here for a long time, you need to pay more fees or have your own permanent cave dwelling.

in addition……"

One piece of information after another came out of Yun Yun’s mouth. She had lived here for more than two hundred years, and her ancestors for five generations had lived in Yunhai Immortal City.

Unfortunately, she didn't have a high status in her family, so she didn't own any property and couldn't live here for long. Originally, she could only spend money to use a temporary residence permit or find a local Daoist partner with a permanent cave dwelling so that she could continue to stay here for a long time.

But she was not content with such a fate, and eventually, through the connections of one of her sisters, she came to the Teleportation Bureau and became a receptionist.

Although the salary was meager, and because of the need to bribe superiors and subordinates, the meager salary that was received was often taken back.

Her only income came from serving her customers well. If a customer was happy, she would receive a reward, which was her precious possession.

Yun Yun's enthusiasm for Su You was naturally due to the fact that he was a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Unfortunately, her vision was limited, and An Ling'er was stronger than Su You and had better concealment skills, so it would have been more normal for her to cling to An Ling'er's coattails.

However, An Ling'er didn't think much of Yun Yun's flattery.

Over the years, she has traveled with Su You and witnessed all walks of life. She has long since become indifferent to these things, and she doesn't think Su You would be interested in such a social class.

After all, there was a huge difference between them, both in terms of cultivation level and appearance.

Even when choosing a maid to serve someone, she must have a special skill.

Just like when Su You was on Luoxia Island in Yun'an Realm, he also took in several maids who were charming, cute, beautiful and capable.

However, with Su You's rapid growth and progress, these little maids have long since fallen far behind.

Even though Su You gave him a lot of pills and even bloodline potions because he served him.

However, their potential also has an upper limit; at most, they can only reach the fourth level of cultivation.

However, although the girl in front of him was not qualified to be his maid, she still had some uses.

Su You came to Yunhai Immortal City this time not only to buy various high-level materials, but also to open a shop here.

The advantages of the cultivation academy cannot be wasted; the academy currently has talents in various disciplines.

Currently, the highest level of professional skills among these students and teachers is Level 4, but the strongest in each subject are at least Level 3.

Most of these techniques can be used to refine products.

Su You felt that he could open a general store in Cloud Sea Immortal City to sell various resources from the cultivation world, which would also increase his sales channels.

After all, his subordinates were plundering treasures faster and faster, and the number of talents trained by his cultivation academy was also increasing.

It wasn't just the high-ranking cultivators, but also the cultivators who acted as ordinary workers; they were the main manpower for each shipment.

However, it would be a bit troublesome to let Su You manage the store, as he himself was too lazy to do such things.

However, finding a reliable person to help him open the shop is another matter. Although he can control the other person, his abilities are unpredictable. Su You has included Yun Yun in his shortlist, but he still needs to assess her further based on the situation.

After listening to the other party's introduction, Su You asked her to take him into the city.

With Yun Yun's introduction, he gained a much deeper impression of this immortal city.

Things that I had only vaguely seen in books before, I now understand clearly.

For example, regarding the issue of settling down, the place Su You plans to settle down in is neither the outer ring nor the inner ring of Cloud Sea Immortal City, but rather the Floating Cloud Immortal Abode, which is high in the sky.

That's where all the big shots gather. People with lower status or cultivation levels simply can't get in so easily.

Although Su You's current cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage, in the vast Cloud Sea Immortal City, he is just an insignificant little leech. He has no chance to live there, and it doesn't matter how many spirit stones he uses.

After all, Floating Cloud Immortal Abode is the core of a ninth-order spiritual vein. If one cultivates there, one can definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Moreover, the special features of the ninth-order spiritual vein are not limited to this. Its extremely pure spiritual energy is no less than a miraculous elixir for many cultivators, and it can also help them break through bottlenecks.

Fortunately, apart from these two requirements, Cloud Sea Immortal City releases countless tasks every year. If you can complete these tasks, you will naturally be able to enter the city.

Su You was extremely envious of Floating Cloud Immortal Abode. Putting aside its rich and pure spiritual energy, its spiritual energy was, in Su You's opinion, the key to reactivating the eighth-order spiritual vein of the Dream Butterfly Sect.

After all, an eighth-order spiritual vein has not absorbed any external spiritual energy for millions of years, and its rank has been continuously decreasing as spiritual energy is constantly consumed.

After Su You repaired some of the Dream Butterfly Mirror's abilities, he released the spiritual vein, allowing it to communicate with the earth and restore it to its original state in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, it is still only a sixth-order spiritual vein. Although it is due to the inherent limitations of the world that it cannot be improved, it is still far from being a good one.

After reviewing many of the Dream Butterfly Sect's historical records on this subject, Su You finally found a solution.

That is to directly absorb the special spiritual energy of the ninth-order spiritual vein, which can also act as a catalyst to slowly reactivate the eighth-order spiritual vein.

Otherwise, given Su You's low-key personality, why would he want to join the fun and get involved in Floating Cloud Immortal Abode?

His cultivation is not slow now, and because of his dual cultivation with Ling'er, his cultivation speed has increased dramatically.

They could easily find a safe place to stay in the outer or inner areas.

This way, it won't be easy to expose An Ling'er.

After all, being able to enter the Floating Cloud Immortal Abode means one will be extremely powerful in terms of cultivation, vision, and other aspects. It wouldn't be good if they recognized An Ling'er's special abilities.

The best way is to go alone, absorb enough spiritual energy there, and then come back.

Of course, all of this is predicated on being able to join the Floating Cloud Immortal Abode.

Based on Yun Yun's description of the mission issued by the Cloud Sea Immortal City, Su You was fairly confident, mainly because Ling'er was by his side.

She is now Su You's golden touch.

The outer city is very large, and it is further subdivided into countless districts. Travel between each district even uses teleportation arrays, which shows how vast and prosperous it is.

Yunyun led the two of them around quite a bit.

Overall, my impression of this immortal city is somewhat different; compared to Haiguang Immortal City, it has a more lived-in feel.

This place is indeed a suitable place to live, and the spiritual energy within the immortal city is abundant, so it's no wonder that so many cultivators want to live here.

In terms of commerce, it is also very prosperous, with free movement. You can walk to other districts on your own or pay a price to teleport there.

After serving as Su You's guide for three days without any unusual desires from him, she had already given up hope, expecting at most a basic income.

But when she saw the pills Su You handed her, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

This pill can help her break through minor bottlenecks. She is currently stuck on the edge between the middle and late stages of the Golden Core realm. If she had this pill, she would definitely be able to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, which would bring her one step closer to her goal of reaching the Nascent Soul realm.

"This is a reward for your efforts these past few days. Now I'm giving you a task: help me find a shop with high foot traffic where goods can be sold quickly. If you complete this within a week, I'll give you an extra reward," Su You instructed with a smile.

Although setting up a shop is something that can be done casually, it concerns one's future financial resources, so it still needs to be taken seriously.

Next, Su You and An Ling'er relaxed and began to enjoy themselves in the Cloud Sea Immortal City.

After all, this place is much bigger than Haiguang Immortal City, and there are so many things to do. An Ling'er was very happy holding Su You's hand.

After all, aside from cultivation, shopping is the most enjoyable thing.

Based on the information provided by Yun Yun, Su You also contacted several auction houses, all of which had auctions scheduled for the near future.

However, this kind of auction is not considered high-end; it's just something for private interests. The highest level of participants is probably only at the Nascent Soul stage. Su You only glanced at it a few times before losing interest.

The goods these people brought were all junk; not a single one of them was even remotely pleasing to the eye.

Fortunately, there are quite a few legitimate auctions. Although there are restrictions on the list of participants, it is easy to obtain a place on the list after revealing one's cultivation level and wealth.

As expected, Cloud Sea Immortal City lives up to its reputation as a ninth-tier immortal city, guarded by a powerful expert at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and the number of treasures inside is indeed astonishing.

Upon seeing the auction list, he was even more excited.

There were so many treasures that he was overwhelmed with choices.

Although Su You also wanted to take them all in one go, his current net worth was not that high, and there were also various experts present at the auction.

If we were to capture them all, we would definitely offend most of the cultivators.

Next came the time for extravagant spending. Over the years, thanks to the Sea Light Immortal City, Su You used high exchange rates to acquire a large amount of high-grade spirits as reserves.

Now we're just waiting for the auction.

Su You collected various spatial spiritual items, including fifth- and sixth-tier spiritual materials, as well as a seventh-tier spiritual material. He also purchased a considerable number of water-attribute spiritual items, all of which were sixth-tier.
