99: Chapter 58 Azure Sky Sect! Azure Spirit Immortal City
"Senior Sister, if we don't practice Alchemy soon, the Pill Furnace will gather dust."
Chen Xuan smiled.
For others, specializing in a single craft is the best choice.
But Chen Xuan is different; he has endless lifespan, which can be called a different kind of immortality.
After a hundred cycles of Reincarnation, even a pig could achieve Immortal Ascension.
Let alone him.
Therefore, he cannot allow himself to have any weaknesses.
The Heavenly Venerate of Ten Thousand Laws!
This is Chen Xuan's ultimate goal.
No weaknesses, terrifyingly strong.
That is what Chen Xuan is like.
Senior Sister advised him, "Junior Brother, cultivation base is the foundation of all laws. We Sword Cultivators should focus solely on the Dao of the sword."
The greatest purpose of the hundred arts of cultivation is to protect the Dao, accumulate wealth, and provide defensive cultivation capabilities.
But the Liuyang Sword Sect can provide all of that, so the best path is naturally diligent cultivation; the cultivation base is the foundation of everything.
Without a cultivation base, even if an Alchemist has many connections, they would be powerless against an ambush and would only meet their demise.
Only with power can one have a place in the Southern Region.
"Senior Sister, I know." Chen Xuan nodded.
"Right, don't go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range recently. The Sect and the Qingcang Sect have an operation."
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Has it finally started?
The opening of the trade route that had been discussed for so long is finally beginning.
It's a pity, his cultivation base is too low, and he cannot yet participate in the battle.
He can still recall the illusion of being instantly killed after joining the battle in his previous life.
"If I were given time..."
"Hmm?" Liu Lili sensed that something was wrong.
Chen Xuan is not a sentimental person; something must be up.
"It's nothing... Let's go, Senior Sister."
Liu Lili just watched. A smart woman would not pry; she would only ponder in her heart and silently observe the outside world.
Two streaks of light flew toward the flying boat.
Their destination was the Qingcang Sect.
Nowadays, the White Lotus Sect has almost completely gone into hiding.
Other evil Sects that were previously suppressed by the White Lotus Sect have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
This time, Chen Xuan is going to the north of the Qingcang Sect, to a human Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty.
The Yao Race is causing chaos and keeping the Human Race in captivity.
Slaying demons and eliminating devils is the responsibility of righteous Sects.
...
Three days later.
"Junior Brother, is this the Qingcang Sect?" Liu Lili's mouth hung open; she clearly couldn't understand the Qingcang Sect.
It was not shock, but confusion.
Generally speaking, Golden Core Sects are built upon a Spiritual Vein and modified to look however they like.
But the Qingcang Sect is built upon a huge green mountain.
Amidst it, a hundred beasts roam, and all spirits sway.
Human Race, Yao Race, and half-human half-Yao are visible everywhere.
Chen Xuan coughed twice; it was indeed exactly the same as before.
"Senior Sister, this is the Qingcang Sect, the most open-minded Sect."
"Here, humans and the Yao Race can freely fall in love and marry."
In this world, human-Yao romance is even more terrifying than same-sex romance, and in other regions, it is definitely at the bottom of the chain of contempt.
But in the Qingcang Sect, there is absolutely no contempt.
"This..."
Liu Lili was speechless.
Her perception of the world was dazed.
After years of diligent cultivation, she had either been discussing boys with her little maid Liu Cui at the Liuyang Sword Sect, going home to listen to her parents' earnest instructions, or thinking about raising her own Junior Brother.
She had never seen such a scene before.
She almost saw several Cultivators leaving with members of the Yao Race, their expressions extremely ambiguous.
There were female Cultivators hugging black-skinned pig Yao, and snake Yao hugging human beauties; all kinds of light streaks flickered outside the Qingcang Sect.
The Qingcang Sect is built on a Tier 3 Low Grade Spiritual Vein, with Qingling Immortal City guarding the perimeter.
What the two of them saw at this moment was the scene of the Immortal City.
"Let's go, let's first find Fellow Daoist Daoist Heshan of the Qingcang Sect." Seeing Liu Lili's country bumpkin expression, Chen Xuan took the initiative to hold his Senior Sister's hand for the first time.
"I..."
Liu Lili was in utter turmoil.
No, that huge wild boar, and the female Cultivator only the size of an arm?
How do they Dual Cultivation?
Liu Lili's heart pounded.
The human-Yao couples were the mainstream, while Chen Xuan and the two of them—one man and one woman—seemed like the outliers, frequently attracting curious gazes.
Under the scrutiny of others, the two passed through the outer city of Qingling Immortal City and entered the inner city using the token of the Liuyang Sword Sect.
The inner city of Qingling Immortal City is divided into the two poles of Yin and Yang, the Black City and the White City.
Daoist Heshan was waiting for them in the White City district.
This mission is to slay demons and evil beings.
But it is strange that it actually requires the cooperation of Cultivators from the Qingcang Sect.
"Fellow Daoist!" As soon as the two arrived at the meeting restaurant, a man with a crane head approached with cupped hands.
He had a crane head and a human body; he looked like a half-human half-Yao.
"Are you Fellow Daoist Daoist Heshan?" Chen Xuan immediately cupped his hands.
Liu Lili also nodded slightly.
"That is indeed me. Are you the two Fellow Daoists, Yun Qi and Liu Lili, mentioned in the jade slip?"
"That's us!"
Daoist Heshan cupped his hands.
These two are the Golden Core direct Disciples of Immortal Master Liu Yun, whose Daoist name is Master Chonghe.
They are not ordinary people!
"Please, come inside. I have already prepared a welcome banquet for you two."
Daoist Heshan knew so much, of course, because after the mission was accepted, a man from the Liuyang Sword Sect named Zhang Fan provided the information and also wanted to come along to provide support.
This human Xia Dynasty has been passed down for a thousand years, and every year it sends hundreds to thousands of Spirit children and Spirit Beasts of Medium Grade or above to the Qingcang Sect for cultivation.
Ever since it was afflicted by chaos, the Spirit children sent over were all being controlled, but fortunately, it was discovered, and they were all brought under control.
Otherwise, if they had grown up, it is unimaginable what terrible consequences it would have caused.
"Hmm." Chen Xuan and Liu Lili nodded in agreement.
The three of them took their seats.
Liu Lili couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist He, are you human or Yao?"
Generally speaking, this question is very presumptuous, and in the Qingcang Sect, it is very disrespectful.
But the one asking was Liu Lili, a direct Disciple of a Golden Core expert, and with her flower-like face, it was hard to get angry at her.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you can ask me this, but you must never ask it in the outside world." Daoist Heshan smiled.
"I am from the Human Race. I practiced a Yao Race body-refinement secret technique and have the blood essence of the crane clan in my body. It is related to the secret technique I practice, which is why I look like this."
"But as for others, never ask; it is very taboo."
Liu Lili immediately cupped her hands: "I apologize."
She also realized her impropriety.
As a Golden Core seed of the Liuyang Sword Sect, her knowledge was indeed still shallow.
Mainly because she had never been to the Qingcang Sect before.
And in other places, opinions on the Qingcang Sect are mixed.
No one knows what this Sect is really made of; only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one truly feel it.
Now that she had seen the Immortal City, it was just excessively ordinary.
The magical creatures inside were terrifyingly numerous.
It was simply a bit crazy.
"Apologies, Fellow Daoist He, my Senior Sister has only just left the Liuyang Sword Sect." Chen Xuan smiled.
Things like this can be glossed over with a laugh and an apology.
No need to overthink it.
Daoist Heshan smiled and didn't say much more, as he also intended to get closer to the two direct Disciples of Golden Core experts and build a friendship.
He was just an Inner Sect Disciple in the Qingcang Sect.
As an Inner Sect Disciple, he knew all too well how sought-after those direct Disciples of Golden Core experts were.
His crane head turned purple with envy!
They almost stood at the pinnacle of the entire Southern Region.
Now, the opportunity to befriend them was right in front of him, and he had to consider if this was the only chance in his life.
