Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 4 The Immortal City of the Void
The Immortal City of Emptiness.

This is the largest market town opened by the Xutian Sect outside the region.

The entire city covers an area of ​​over six million mu, approximately four thousand square kilometers.

It has a permanent population of over five million and is a city truly composed of cultivators.

Because the city was built between the Qinghong Mountains and Yunting Lake.

Therefore, the surrounding area is rich in spiritual energy, the land is fertile, and there is abundant water spiritual energy, so the Xutian Sect has cultivated a large number of spiritual fields and leased them out.

The spiritual fields here number in the hundreds of millions of acres, which is a hundred times more than the spiritual fields within the Xutian Sect.

The existence of spirit fields, coupled with a safe environment and abundant spiritual energy, has attracted a large number of independent cultivators to settle in.

Near the Void Heaven Immortal City, there are at least tens of millions of independent cultivators making a living, which has led to the exceptional prosperity of commerce in the area.

Inside and outside the immortal city, it was bustling with people of all kinds. Some of them flew by using various magical artifacts, while others rode on various spirit beasts.

There were even hundreds of flying boats, each a hundred feet long, spanning the sky and docking at designated spots beneath the city walls under the command of the disciples of the Void Heaven Immortal Sect.

Cultivators from other places disembarked from the flying boat and entered the city in an orderly fashion.

Su You also landed a hundred meters away from the city gate, and then took out the Azure Blood Horse from the spirit beast bag and mounted it.

Flying is prohibited within the Void Heaven Immortal City, even for disciples of the Void Heaven Sect, which facilitates the management of the city.

Moreover, there is a large anti-flight formation within the Void Heaven Immortal City. Unless one's strength reaches the Nascent Soul realm, it is difficult to fly under the suppression of a fourth-order formation.

As soon as he approached the city gate, Su You felt an immense sense of heaviness wash over him; this was the oppressive force emanating from the fourth-order grand formation protecting the Void Heaven Immortal City.

When he entered the Void Heaven Immortal Sect, he did not feel the power of the fourth-order formation because he had the Void Heaven Immortal Sect's disciple token, which was able to neutralize the pressure.

This fourth-order formation serves as an invisible deterrent to all cultivators who come to the Void Heaven Immortal City.

Moreover, there are Nascent Soul Realm elders guarding the Void Heaven Immortal City, along with a fourth-order formation. Ordinary Nascent Soul Realm experts probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.

The walls of the Void Heaven Immortal City are hundreds of meters high, and are covered with intricate rune markings. Once a demonic beast invades, the walls will be protected.

Even if the outermost fourth-order formation is destroyed, this thick city wall can still stop the monsters from attacking.

In the secondary continent of Lemi where he lived, it was rare to see a city entirely composed of cultivators, and such city structures were also rare. Most cities were built around wizard towers.

Su You went to the left passage and followed the flow of people inside.

Cultivators arriving in the Void Heaven Immortal City for the first time naturally have to pay an entrance fee and register their information before entering.

For cultivators who reside permanently in the Void Heaven Immortal City, such a complicated process is unnecessary. They have the tokens they obtained when applying for long-term residency and can simply pass through from the left side, passing through the restriction check to enter.

Although Su You did not have the token for this place, the token of the Void Heaven Immortal Sect was still useful here, at least it could exempt him from the entrance fee and allow him to enter directly.

Following the flow of people through the East Gate, exquisite and quaint courtyards are arranged in a well-organized manner along the street.

The further in you go, the larger these courtyards become. However, Su You can only see the outside of the courtyards. The interiors of the courtyards are protected by special restrictions that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The Void Heaven Immortal City has five districts in total. The eastern district is located at the nodes of various spiritual veins, so renting a cave dwelling here is the most expensive.

Secondly, there is the southern city area, which also has nodes of spiritual vein branches. Prices are moderate. The cheapest areas are the western and northern city areas, which are not located at spiritual vein nodes and are where most independent cultivators live.

However, even if it is not located at the node of a spiritual vein, with the regulation of internal spiritual energy by a fourth-order grand formation, even the worst cave in the North District has spiritual energy that is in no way inferior to a first-order high-grade spiritual vein.

Su You rode his Azure Blood Horse at breakneck speed for an hour before he could vaguely see the outline of the central city.

Unlike the other four districts, the central urban area is a place for commercial trade, and half of the shops in the Void Heaven Immortal City are located here.

Next to it is a huge square that can hold 500,000 people, where most of the independent cultivators set up stalls and trade.

After quickly moving forward a few steps, you are greeted by a dense array of shops, with all sorts of strange and colorful signs outside attracting customers.

There are established brands like Wanbaoge, Baiduandian, and Dandinglou, as well as shops specializing in a particular product, such as Zhang's Magic Shield, Yuelingzong's Magic Robe, and Baigong Spider Puppet.

In such a large city of cultivators, only outstanding or inexpensive goods can stand out.

Suppressing his curiosity, Su You quickly went to the place in the central city responsible for renting cave dwellings and rented a Class D cave dwelling in the northern city.

Within the Void Heaven Immortal City, the highest level of cave dwelling one can rent is a fourth-tier spiritual vein, also known as a Grade A cave dwelling. However, the Grade D cave dwelling he rented only had the spiritual energy of a first-tier superior spiritual vein.

However, reshaping the magical organs within the body does not require a high concentration of spiritual energy. The main requirement is to spend time nurturing them to keep them stable, so there is no need to waste more spirit stones.

Su You rented the space for a year, which was enough time for him to recover to the level of a third-class apprentice wizard and to systematically study and organize the knowledge within the inheritance.

However, he wanted to revive his original body first, as he wanted to see how the powerful abilities of this talent could reshape the physical body and even the soul.

With a thought, in the blink of an eye, a human figure emerged in the air and was eventually perfectly reshaped. But this was not the end; this was only the reshaping of the physical body.

The twin imprints deep within his consciousness split in two in an instant and disappeared into his physical body.

A familiar feeling returned.

The familiar ability to multitask is restored, and the body and soul are reshaped once again.

“The reshaping of the physical body definitely involves the transformation of matter and energy, while the reshaping of the soul is even more peculiar,” Su You murmured to himself.

After the Twin Mark split in two, the total amount of souls on his side did not change at all, which must have involved the transformation of souls.

These two advanced topics are difficult to study even after one becomes a first-tier wizard.

Also normal.

The Twins of Fate were, after all, left by the original school of wizards to their successors for protection; they were not so easy to study.

Only now could Su You finally relax.

The information passed down did not deceive him; the twins of destiny possessed incredibly powerful talents. After his resurrection, Su You felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he no longer felt the urgency he had in the wizarding world.

With no more bloodline sequelae and no more threats to his life, he felt that he had now achieved the goals he had been pursuing.

After thinking for a long time, Su You regained his composure. This was a vast world of cultivation.

Cultivate immortality and attain eternal life, roaming freely between heaven and earth.

This was something he had never dared to think about or pursue before.

However, with the vast legacy of the primordial wizards and the innate talent of a twin destined for immortality, Su You is confident that he can create a wonderful life for himself in the world of cultivation.

They strengthened their beliefs and rekindled their passion for pursuing the future.

"Now, I should start practicing the wizarding system again, so that I can have more self-protection in the world of cultivation."

Cultivating immortality also requires methods to protect one's path.

The wizarding system is not just about protecting the path; like the cultivation system, if cultivated to the extreme, it can also lead to immortality.

Su You prepared for both possibilities and pursued both, which would allow him to possess even greater power.

The first thing to do now is to switch meditation methods. Although you can use general meditation methods to cultivate, the meditation methods passed down from the original wizards are exclusive and are related to future breakthroughs.

World Tree Meditation!
Mental meditation on a world tree that supports heaven and earth.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su You rapidly shattered the twinkling stars in his spiritual sea, and a vast amount of spiritual power gathered at the bottom.

Like a budding flower, a tender seed, after absorbing the spiritual energy transformed from the stars, quickly took root, sprouted, and grew strong.

After absorbing all the spiritual energy, the World Tree in the Sea of ​​Spirituality, also known as the Sea of ​​Consciousness, has grown into a sapling.

From now on, all you need to do is meditate continuously and maintain the growth of your spiritual power so that this vibrant world tree can grow strong and healthy.

"Fortunately, my mental strength hasn't been greatly reduced. In fact, it's now more vibrant, which gives me a certain advantage when using wood-attribute witchcraft." Su You nodded in satisfaction.

It's a pity I don't have any magic crystals on me, otherwise I could have carefully observed the changes in my mental energy.

The meditation technique has been re-cultivated; the next step is to reshape and nurture the magical organs and the source of magical power.

As for the restoration of magic power, once the source of magic power is stabilized, it will be transformed by the immense spiritual power, so it can be said to be a natural and very simple process.

Wizards and cultivators have some similarities, namely that their essence, energy, and spirit can be improved simultaneously. However, they emphasize different aspects. Wizards focus on spiritual power, or the soul, while cultivators focus on cultivating qi, or energy.

Both also enhance other aspects. For example, each time a cultivator advances their soul, it will slightly improve, and then a transformation will occur when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Their spiritual sense, which can only be seen internally, will also be improved to the divine sense that can be released externally, and their physical body will also continuously transform and strengthen under the cleansing of spiritual power.

Wizards also cultivate magical power during their cultivation process. This magical power is different from the spiritual power in the cultivation system. It is more violent, so ordinary people cannot withstand it and need to generate specific magical organs to bear it.

In addition, the wizard's physical body evolves through radiation using its own special force field, which is a special force field generated by the combination of mental power and violent magic power.

Su You sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and meditated on the World Tree. As the spiritual energy circulated through his body, it was transformed into magic power and entered his internal organs. Magic organs began to form around them. With the suppression of his mental power, the magic power was now unusually docile.

With his main body already in a state of cultivation, Su You also began to multitask, allowing his twin clones to have a good stroll around the Void Heaven Immortal City.

The first thing to do now is to find out if we can buy the materials to make magic energy spheres.

This is an essential magical artifact for every wizard, even an apprentice wizard. It allows them to constantly monitor their mental strength, physical condition, and the state of their force field radiation, and to make adjustments anytime, anywhere to prevent physical abnormalities.

Although Su You also wanted to integrate the knowledge of the two worlds and create something to help himself, his strength was too low, and he couldn't even do experiments.

Wizards have certain requirements for conducting experiments: a safe environment, sufficient experimental materials, and good experimental tools. Once these three conditions are met, the experiment can begin.

It would be best to raise the wizard's cultivation level to the first rank first. At that time, both strength and lifespan can be greatly improved.

Su You couldn't judge the strength of a first-tier wizard, but in terms of lifespan, a first-tier wizard could live for at least five hundred years, which was only slightly less than the eight hundred years of lifespan of a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, wizards have even more ways to prolong life. In addition to life-extending potions, bloodline transplantation, soul transfer, and so on can all bring about an increase in lifespan.

Most importantly, a first-tier wizard can unlock the inheritance related to wizard towers. If he can build a wizard tower, it will be of great help to Su You in terms of both strength improvement and research.

The twin clones rode the Azure Blood Horse, leisurely strolling down the street. They were dressed in the robes of inner disciples of the Void Heaven Sect, and there was no dramatic provocation involved.

"Unfortunately, neither the main body nor the clone absorbed any skills for earning spirit stones from the memories they absorbed," Su You said with some helplessness.

There was some knowledge of apprentice-level potions in the wizarding tradition in his mind, but even if he could make them, Su You wouldn't dare to sell them, let alone find the same materials.

The items in the two worlds are vastly different, and it would be bad if someone were to track and investigate us.

However, there is no problem in refining some for personal use.

The main body's spiritual power is far from reaching its limit, while the clone's spiritual power is also relatively ordinary. It needs to start cultivating from the basics. Fortunately, the clone's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and its soul is also relatively strong, providing a good foundation.

For the next period of time, the twin clones wandered around the various shops in the immortal city, looking for something they could use.

……

North District, Tianshuang Lane, Building 26.

"We didn't find the white crystal, but we did find several similar ingredients for refining spiritual potions."

That's right, this elixir is only similar to the potions in the Wizarding World; only some of its medicinal properties are the same.

Su You also couldn't determine whether it could be used to refine spiritual energy potions, since spiritual medicines were expensive and failure to refine them would result in a large expense.

Wealth, companions, methods, and land—what Su You lacks most right now is wealth, and as for companions, he can consult the elders of his sect.

Laws can be obtained from sects, and wizards also possess complete lineages. As for land, the spiritual veins and caves within sects are sufficient for their needs.

The thing they lack most is spirit stones. The twin clones don't have many spirit stones, and they use most of them to improve their strength and then take on sect missions to gain merit.
