Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Zhou Zongting was somewhat puzzled.

She left without being stopped by the three cultivators.

"Could it be that they aren't cultivators from the Tribulation Clan, but rather people from the Eighth Tower City?"

Zhou Zongting muttered to herself as she hurried along.

"Could it be that there is a teleportation array in Nine Towers City, which attracts a huge number of cultivators every day?"

"Is the Eighth Floor City so envious that they're robbing travelers halfway through their journey?"

Regarding Zhou Zongting's speculation.

Jiang Yun thought it was perfectly reasonable.

In this bizarre world.

There's almost no way to go out at night.

If you want to go to a faraway place, the most time-efficient way is to take a teleportation array.

Otherwise, traveling during the day would take too much time.

Nine-Story City has a teleportation array, and the number of people entering and leaving the city every day is immeasurable.

The profits from those Yuan Stones would naturally be the envy of many.

By doing this, Eighth Floor City is undoubtedly going against Ninth Floor City.

……

Without resting, Zhou Zongting headed straight for the Eighth Floor City.

A city with walls stretching to the horizon appeared before Zhou Zongting and Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun discovered that there was a Yuantian Lantern every three zhang on the city wall.

At night, all the Yuantian Lanterns will be lit to keep the eerie things out.

Apart from the Yuantian Lantern.

In a city like this, there should be shrines to deal with the supernatural.

Otherwise, without a shrine to protect it, it would have been impossible to form such a large city.

Zhou Zongting carried Jiang Yun and headed straight for the city gate on the eighth floor.

"Those entering the city must pay one spirit stone," the guard announced loudly. "Those who are not cultivators of this city may only stay for one day."

"I have no more spirit stones on me," Zhou Zongting asked. "Could I temporarily use my storage bag as collateral, and return the spirit stones tomorrow?"

After killing Liu Jiuying.

Zhou Zongting has two storage bags.

She used Liu Jiuying's storage bag as collateral so that she could go into the city to sell magical artifacts in exchange for spirit stones.

"Can."

The city gate guards accepted the storage bag before letting Zhou Zongting in.

After entering the city, Zhou Zongting immediately found a shop.

She took out Liu Jiuying's magical artifact and showed it to the shopkeeper.

"A top-grade first-tier flying sword." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'll take it for five hundred spirit stones."

"Shopkeeper, this top-grade flying sword should be worth at least 1,300 spirit stones, how about 500 spirit stones...?"

The shopkeeper interrupted Zhou Zongting, "The prices for buying and selling are naturally not comparable. This is the price I can offer. You can decide for yourself."

"Alright, then five hundred yuan stones it is."

Zhou Zongting gritted her teeth and had no choice but to agree.

After receiving 500 yuan.

She carried Jiang Yun into an inn.

It's certainly better to spend the night in the city than outside.

the next day.

Zhou Zongting left the city, handed over the Yuan Stones to the guards, and retrieved the storage bag that had been used as collateral.

After leaving the city, she traveled north.

They traveled during the day and stayed by the Yuantian Lantern at night.

A month and a half later.

She finally arrived near Maple Leaf City.

Just before entering Maple Leaf City, Zhou Zongting hesitated again.

She is a member of the Zhou family in Maple Leaf City, and her father is the current head of the Zhou family.

Are you suggesting I bring back a bastard child?

Zhou Zongting's heart began to struggle again.

After a moment, she whispered:

"Good luck, my child."

After saying that, she left Jiang Yun in the suburbs and headed towards Maple Leaf City.

"Wow wow wow~"

Jiang Yun wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only pretend to cry loudly.

Unfortunately, this trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Because Zhou Zongting has already gone far away.

You can't hear him crying at all.

"We've already arrived in Maple Leaf City, and they still left me behind."

"Help! Someone, please help me!"

Jiang Yun looked as helpless as a child.

Why is it that every time I come to the world of gods and demons, it always starts with a cataclysmic disaster?

"Ugh."

Time passed slowly.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Jiang Yun heard a sigh beside her.

The sigh belonged to Zhou Zongting.

She abandoned Jiang Yun but then returned.

After all, it's a piece of my own flesh and blood, and I still can't bear to part with it.

"Wow wow wow~"

Jiang Yun really cried this time.

Great, I can survive!

Upon hearing Jiang Yun's cries, Zhou Zongting's expression softened even more.

"Good child, I'll take you home."

She picked up Jiang Yun and headed towards Maple Leaf City.

……

Maple Leaf City, the Zhou family.

When Zhou Zongting returned to the Zhou family, many clansmen looked at her with strange eyes.

After all these years, why is Miss carrying a child back?

Could it be that she had a child with another man before she was even married?

The news of Zhou Zongting's return home quickly spread throughout the Zhou family.

Several years ago, Zhou Zongting went out on a mission and never returned.

Everyone in the family thought she was dead.

I never expected him to come back now, and with a child at that.

Upon hearing this, clan chief Zhou Hongde immediately summoned Zhou Zongting.

"Father, Mother."

Zhou Zongting carried Jiang Yun to the hall to meet her father, Zhou Hongde, and mother, Ye Hongyi.

On both sides of the hall.

Zhou Zongting's four older brothers were also standing there.

The current patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Hongde, has four sons and one daughter.

The eldest son was Zhou Zongcheng, and the second son was Zhou Zongxian.

The third son is Zhou Zongxiao, the fourth son is Zhou Zongyao, and the youngest daughter is Zhou Zongting.

The names of the four sons were taken from "becoming an immortal and carefree".

At this moment, Zhou Zongting's four older brothers were all looking at the baby in her arms.

I don't understand what my younger sister has been through these past few years.

Whose child is the one in her arms?

In the hall, Zhou Hongde looked at Zhou Zongting with a gloomy expression.

Ye Hongyi, concerned for her daughter, went over to check if she was injured.

"Little sister, what exactly happened?"

The eldest brother, Zhou Zongcheng, couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Zongting began to explain.

It turns out that she encountered danger while on a mission years ago, and the Yuantian Lantern was lost.

In the wilderness, it's impossible to survive after dark.

That's why he had no choice but to submit to Liu Jiuying.

Zhou Hongde, angered by this, asked, "What about the one surnamed Liu?"

"I killed him."

Zhou Zongting said calmly.

There was no emotion in his words.

"Well done!"

Second brother Zhou Zongxian clapped his hands in delight.

"I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

Upon hearing about Zhou Zongting's plight, Ye Hongyi couldn't help but shed tears.

She reached out and picked up the child from Zhou Zongting's arms, then looked him over.

Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Got home.

Should things be settled down now?

The idea had just been born.

All that could be heard was Zhou Hongde's cold voice:

"Our family doesn't support useless or idle people."

"Test his spiritual root. If he has no spiritual root, throw him out of the city immediately."

Jiang Yunxin was in her throat.

You're getting excited too soon.

But in this life, I should have spiritual roots, right?

At this moment, Zhou Hongde took out a talisman.

He tossed the talisman into the air.

The talisman floated in front of Jiang Yun.

Then, Zhou Hongde flicked his finger.

A tiny wind blade appeared and cut a gash in Jiang Yun's wrist.

Fresh blood flowed out.

A drop of blood condensed and was controlled by Zhou Hongde to rush towards the talisman.

Immediately, the drop of blood came into contact with the talisman.

The talisman emitted three kinds of light.

Red, brown, and cyan.

"Is this a three-elemental root?"

Jiang Yun felt uneasy.

After all, this world is different from the cultivation world of Qiankun.

This was the first time he had ever seen a method of testing spiritual roots using talismans.
