Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

Chapter 86 Three Years!

Looking at the corpses lying haphazardly before him, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. The Cold Moon Immortal City was far more chaotic than he had imagined.

Having traveled through ten different factions, he learned that he was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. He then prepared to go to Cold Moon Immortal City with his spiritual items to exchange for a Spirit Suppressing Pill to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Seven forces were preparing to seize the spiritual item by force, while the remaining three were wary of Chu Xuan's strength and suspected a trap, so they did not act rashly.

What kind of holy land for rogue cultivators is this? It's nothing but a den of bandits. Big and small bandits are entrenched here. It's not just about the people being fierce; there's basically no order here, only the simple law of the jungle.

Survival here is all by luck. Almost everyone here is a Tribulation Cultivator. No matter what their original identity was, as long as they see a suitable target, they can transform into a Tribulation Cultivator.

Only two types of people can live comfortably here: those who are strong enough to intimidate others, and those who are of average strength but extremely poor.

I have nothing, so killing won't get me anything. Why bother?

The local custom dictates that cultivators here use up their spirit stones immediately upon acquiring them, leaving none on their person. Only in this way can they survive here.

The cultivators Chu Xuan saw were all extremely poor, and the only valuable thing they had was the spiritual rice from their fields.

But this spirit rice is an asset of Cold Moon Immortal City; these ordinary people are just spirit farmers they've hired.

You can kill any spirit farmer, but you can't touch the spirit rice. Anyone who dares to touch it will be killed!

Having gathered sufficient information, Chu Xuan took a step forward without hesitation, increasing his speed once again as he sped towards Cold Moon Immortal City.

As Chu Xuan increased his speed, the surrounding forces all gave way. Even those who saw him bowed their heads and didn't dare to even glance at him, let alone try to rob him!

Soon, a magnificent city appeared before Chu Xuan's eyes. The city's area was actually quite small, probably far smaller than Mingjiang City in the Federation.

After all, Mingjiang City has tens of millions of citizens and its area is extremely large.

In terms of area, Hanyue Immortal City is no match for Mingjiang City. However, the problem is that Mingjiang City is a modern metropolis, while Hanyue Immortal City is an ancient city with a square layout.

The entire city is surrounded by city walls, and at first glance, an indescribable sense of awe washes over you.

This immortal city can house at least a million people, while the market town of Xuanming Sect, Jinyang Market Town which Chu Xuan visited, is estimated to have only thirty to fifty thousand people. The two are more than twenty times smaller!

With a swift movement, he arrived at the city gate. Three large gates stood in a row, and the gates on the left and right were already filled with cultivators.

Seven or eight cultivators in iron armor guarded the city gate, collecting spirit stones for those entering the city, while hundreds of black-armored soldiers stood atop the city walls.

Chu Xuan's divine sense swept across the area, and a powerful divine sense erupted from the city wall, with a gaze looking directly at him.

Chu Xuan looked up and saw a solemn-faced middle-aged cultivator staring at him from the city wall.

Chu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting, and the middle-aged cultivator pondered for a moment before returning the gesture with a cupped hand in return.

Once a Daoist cultivator develops divine sense, they become inseparable from it, often using it to explore before doing anything.

However, this will definitely alert the other Dao Platform cultivators. Generally speaking, this is not a big deal. It's like someone glanced at you, and the two sides exchange greetings and that's it.

One Dao Platform cultivator and one hundred late-stage Qi Refining cultivators—this strength would be more than enough to guard the four core markets of the Xuanming Sect, let alone be sufficient for gatekeeping.

Just then, a Daoist cultivator landed and walked directly into the market through the central gate. As he entered, not only did no one collect spirit stones, but the eight armored guards at the city gate also raised their hands in salute.

It seemed that the middle city gate was for Foundation Establishment cultivators, so Chu Xuan no longer hesitated and walked towards the middle city gate.

Amidst the envious glow of the Qi Refining Realm cultivators on both sides, Chu Xuan officially stepped into the Cold Moon Immortal City.

Having learned from his experience renting a house in Qingyuefang, Chu Xuan quickly found a market this time and rented a near-third-tier cave dwelling for a year for 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The so-called quasi-third-tier cave dwelling is a cave dwelling built on the remnant of a low-grade spiritual vein. It is not a true third-tier cave dwelling, but the concentration of spiritual energy in the world far exceeds that of the surrounding environment, making it a good place for cultivation and seclusion.

A near-third-tier cave dwelling is enough for my needs. I'm not using it to form my core; it's just to increase my cultivation speed.

Using a near-third-tier cave dwelling for Qi cultivation is already a luxury; in the Federation, it would be a complete fantasy.

Having thoroughly investigated the general practices of Hanyue Market from the outside, Chu Xuan displayed sufficient deterrent power when renting the cave dwelling.

The mere fact that he has developed divine consciousness is enough to prove Chu Xuan's status as a Dao Platform, and the very word "Dao Platform" is a deterrent.

With the Daoist's authority in place, Chu Xuan's journey went much more smoothly. He rented a cave dwelling in less than a day, and no one disturbed him throughout the entire trip.

That evening, Chu Xuan moved into his new cave dwelling.

After settling into the cave, Chu Xuan arranged the array he had seized from Elder Xu Lin of the Xuanming Sect. Within this Five Elements Array, Chu Xuan also took out a second-tier array plate and activated a second-tier grand array.

This last grand formation was created by Chu Xuan, who provided the information and had a senior student at the Core Formation stage in the Immortal Abode inscribe the formation plate.

The array plate was captured by Chu Xuan. Its grade was only second-tier low-grade, but because the person who made it had a high level of array mastery, he managed to inscribe the array as second-tier mid-grade.

Having done all this, Chu Xuan immediately began his secluded cultivation.

Cultivation is the foundation of everything. My current strength is still too low, and I need to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible!

As the saying goes, time flies when you are cultivating. When Chu Xuan focused all his energy on cultivation, time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Inside the cave, Chu Xuan sat cross-legged on the couch, his body radiating a verdant mystical light. A layer of misty magical power flowed around him, and the entire cave was filled with an indescribable life force!

At this moment, Chu Xuan had reached a critical juncture in his cultivation. He looked inward at his own meridians and saw that the twelve main meridians within his body were intertwined.

Six of them were dull and lifeless, indistinguishable from the surrounding flesh, while the remaining six shimmered with a hazy blue light, each of the five meridians bearing four magic seals.

On the sixth meridian, three magic seals have already been formed, and at this moment, the fourth magic seal has been 80% formed.

However, the last 20% was extremely difficult. The power of the three existing Dharma Seals in the meridians and the twenty-three existing Dharma Seals in the dantian intertwined, making it exceptionally difficult to condense the last Dharma Seal!
