Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Shangguan Shuo asked cautiously, watching Jiang Shi's expression, afraid of offending him.

Jiang Shi is now a figure not to be underestimated. Even Shangguan Shuo, the lord of Canglin City, has to be careful around him.

It should be noted that Jiang Shi fought against twelve late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators single-handedly at the Dragon Pool under the Qingyun Sect, killing them all without a single survivor.

With that kind of strength, killing him would be as easy as turning one's hand!

No matter how powerful his wind magic is, it won't be a match for him.

Therefore, Shangguan Shuo was naturally at a disadvantage when facing Jiang Shi!

"I come from the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert." Jiang Shi put down his wine cup and took out an item, which was the token that Xuanyuan Yi had given him earlier.

A black token!

"Xuanyuan Token!" Shangguan Shuo looked at the black token in Jiang Shi's hand with awe.

The token was engraved with three ferocious beasts, the mark of the Xuanyuan family!

Ordinary disciples from small sects might not understand the meaning of these marks, and naturally wouldn't know what kind of power the Xuanyuan Token represents or how terrifying it is.

However, Shangguan Shuo was not an ordinary disciple.

In the Lingxu Sect, Shangguan Shuo is arguably the most likely successor to the current sect leader and the next generation of Lingxu Sect leader.

His ability to become the lord of Canglin City speaks volumes.

He knows far more information than ordinary disciples.

Shangguan Shuo was very familiar with the top-tier forces in the cultivation world, such as the four great families of the Central Continent, the three major tribes of the Western Desert, and the three major families of the Northern Region.

The Xuanyuan clan is one of the top powers in the Western Desert and the entire cultivation world.

Perhaps it is not as powerful as the top three sects among the ten major sects.

However, the Xuanyuan clan is not to be underestimated. It is a top-tier power that no other major power would dare to easily wage war against!

And this Xuanyuan Token is one of the identity credentials of the disciples of the Xuanyuan Clan when they are outside!

Those who possess the Xuanyuan Token, even if they are not disciples of the Xuanyuan clan, still have intricate connections with the Xuanyuan clan!

Just like Jiang Shi, he was not a disciple of the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert.

However, due to his close relationship with Xuanyuan Yi, he was also given the Xuanyuan Token.

With this decree, it no longer matters whether he is truly a disciple of the Xuanyuan clan or not.

Given his status, at least in the Canglin region, a small place like this, no one dares to provoke him.

Even a Golden Core cultivator wouldn't be able to do it!

"So you're a member of the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert! My apologies for not recognizing you!" Shangguan Shuo quickly stood up and said respectfully.

"No need to be so polite. It's just family influence, I wouldn't dare use their names," Jiang Shi said, feigning modesty.

After revealing their identities, Jiang Shi seemed to grow closer to Shangguan Shuo and Ouyang Yu.

They became even more enthusiastic!

Jiang Shi deliberately impersonated the identity of the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert.

He has mastered the "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique," and the phantoms of the Crimson Blood Ox and the Scarlet Blood Bat have both reached a high level of mastery!

Even if someone from the same powerful Xuanyuan clan in the Western Desert saw this technique, they would genuinely believe that Jiang Shi was a member of the Xuanyuan clan.

Jiang Shi's disguise as a member of the Xuanyuan clan was flawless; no one could possibly see through it!

More importantly, the members of the Xuanyuan clan are not like the aristocratic families of Zhongzhou; many of their members are not actually related by blood.

The Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert conquers through strength. Anyone who passes the test can join the Xuanyuan clan – remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], for exciting content available anytime.

It wouldn't be impossible for Jiang Shi to join the Xuanyuan clan at this time.

On the other side, Ling Xuzi, a Golden Core cultivator, was secretly observing Jiang Shi from the shadows.

Upon hearing the name of the Xuanyuan Clan and seeing the Xuanyuan Token, they suddenly realized what was going on.

"So you're a disciple of the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert. No wonder you're so bloodthirsty. Coming to a small place like Canglin, you're probably after that Demon Puppet Secret Realm."

Ling Xuzi was very familiar with the Xuanyuan clan and the cultivation technique practiced by its members, the "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique".

Back when Ling Xuzi was still an outer disciple of one of the ten major sects, he had come into contact with people from the Xuanyuan clan.

Those who know the Xuanyuan clan are people who use war to sustain war and kill to level up.

The "Three Fiends Suppressing Prison Technique" requires blood energy, malevolent energy, and killing energy.

Only by unifying the three energies can one cultivate this top-level technique.

Within this Canglin region, in the Demon Puppet Secret Realm, there are some Blood Moon Demon Seals, which can be used to cultivate blood energy.

Thinking of this, Ling Xuzi nodded in understanding.

"Although the people of the Xuanyuan clan are a bunch of madmen, they are still a prestigious family and not members of the demonic sect. It is worthwhile to befriend them."

"Furthermore, someone like him, capable of fighting twelve opponents single-handedly during the Foundation Establishment stage, likely holds a high position within the Xuanyuan clan. His breakthrough to the Golden Core stage is practically guaranteed; he's definitely worth befriending!"

Ling Xuzi thought to himself.

In the Canglin region, one can see Golden Core stage cultivators high above, like immortals, whose words can determine the rise and fall of a sect or the survival of a city.

Ling Xuzi thought to himself.

In the Canglin region, one can see Golden Core stage cultivators high above, like immortals, whose words can determine the rise and fall of a sect or the survival of a city.

However, in the cultivation world, in the eyes of those top powers, a Golden Core cultivator is worthless.

Ling Xuzi is no longer a disciple of one of the top ten sects. Even if his former senior brothers and sisters still remember him, they will not get involved in his karma.

If he offends other top-tier powers, his former sect would probably be the first to step forward and clean house!

Only within a sect can one receive the sect's protection.

Ling Xuzi regretted his decision to leave the sect back then, which made him afraid to even mention the name of his sect now.

Therefore, Ling Xuzi now attaches great importance to Jiang Shi.

Judging from Jiang Shi's appearance, he has a disciple, a disciple in the middle stage of Qi Refining, so he doesn't seem to be a heartless person.

This kind of person is worth befriending.

If someone is alone, a lone star destined for misfortune, no matter how strong or high their status, Ling Xuzi would not dare to approach them.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to befriend this person," Ling Xuzi thought.

Jiang Shi is currently unaware that he has been targeted by a Golden Core cultivator.

He was still drinking and chatting happily with Shangguan Shuo.

When they had drunk enough, Jiang Shi took the opportunity to ask his own question.

"Brother Shangguan, I wonder if your sect possesses any Grade 3 Five Elements Spiritual Objects?" Jiang Shi asked directly, without beating around the bush.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"This...!" Brother Shangguan hesitated, unsure how to answer.

If the answer is no, it might offend Jiang Shi and this disciple of the Xuanyuan clan.

If the answer is yes, but one doesn't dare to make the decision on their own.

It should be noted that these third-grade spiritual items represent spiritual items from the Golden Core stage.

The first rank represents the Qi Refining stage, and the second rank represents the Foundation Establishment stage.

These three grades represent the Golden Core stage!

As the name suggests, it refers to the third rank and above, with the fourth rank representing the Nascent Soul stage.
