184: The deserted city, a paradise for casual cultivators, and Zhang San, a local helper
As his first hostile force upon arriving in the Upper Realm—the Wu Clan!
According to the deceased Wu Clan elder, there was a Great Immortal Master presiding over the clan.
That was an existence a Rank higher than an Immortal Master!
Against him with his current strength!
He would probably be outmatched!
Although his Lifespan was quite long, the corresponding Cultivation Techniques were few and far between.
If he hadn't just “picked up” one!
He would have had to undergo a new round of Reincarnation through that ancient scripture.
And then improve his own strength.
However, this ancient scripture focused on Physical Body Physique, and potential foundation.
It had little effect on the progress of his cultivation level!
As long as he hadn't reached a desperate situation!
If possible!
Jiang Yi hoped to achieve complete Perfection in this Realm before undergoing “Reincarnation”.
In that case, the effect might be even better!
He would be able to unleash the essence of this Sage ancient scripture to its extreme.
[master of fate: Jiang Yi]
[cultivation level: Mystic Profound Realm First Realm]
[Physique: Vajra Treasure Body]
[Cultivation Techniques: “Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Heavenly Scripture”, “Netherworld Black Lotus Diagram (Incomplete)”, “Indestructible Golden Body”, “Bashe Devouring Elephant Mysterious Profound Art”]
[Arts: Treasure Vase Devouring Yuan Technique, Slaughtering World Lance, Silver River Descends from the Nine Heavens, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin]
[Lifespan: 31387]
He needed to find a place!
To first Cultivate the Bashe Devouring Elephant Great Art.
Entering Great Desolate City!
On the ancient streets within the city, shouts and hawking sounds echoed.
It was—
Bustling with people and exceptionally lively!
Walking on the grey stone streets!
He could see many Cultivators sitting on the ground, spreading out a burlap cloth.
Arranging various goods on it!
Either bartering!
Or trading with Spirit Crystals!
The goods sold!
Most of them came from within the Great Desolate.
Such as some medicinal herbs, Ore Materials, tusked beast claws, furs, and so on.
Those were major specialties of the Great Desolate.
After all, the Great Desolate was known as a hundred thousand mountains, ancient trees forming forests, and ancient mountains stretching endlessly!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was quite dense!
It had the reputation of being vast and rich in resources!
Besides the myriad Vicious Beasts lurking and various poisonous insects hiding!
Correspondingly!
The internal produce was also extremely rich, possessing numerous pure natural Cultivation resources.
Therefore!
As an ancient city close to the Great Desolate, it attracted many Human Race Cultivators.
Especially those Loose Cultivators without power or background!
They gathered here one after another!
Attempting to explore the Great Desolate and obtain corresponding Cultivation resources from it.
And if they were lucky, they might even obtain a Heaven-Defying Opportunity.
From then on, they would soar to the sky!
Therefore, Great Desolate City!
Was also known as the paradise for Loose Cultivators!
Of course!
Besides Loose Cultivators, there were also some major forces that came here to set up branches.
As for the Wu Clan, they were a local prominent clan in the city!
Residing in Great Desolate City for a full ten thousand years.
They were an ancient clan with a high reputation within a hundred thousand li radius!
When the Wu Clan was shaken!
Its current Clan Chief even stepped out of the Clan Territory and flew towards the Great Desolate.
Many people in the city couldn't help but discuss!
“That aura, is it from the Wu Clan Territory?”
“What major event happened?”
“To actually cause a commotion in the Wu Clan, look at that figure crossing the Void Realm!”
“Just the leaked Qi makes one's scalp tingle!”
“At least it's a Mystic Profound Realm Third Realm Late Stage!”
“It's probably a high-ranking member of the Wu Clan!”
“More than just high-ranking, that's the current Clan Chief of the Wu Clan.”
“What, the Wu Clan Chief?!!!”
“Their clan has been sending their Disciples into the Great Desolate recently!”
“They formed a powerful hunting team to hunt savage wildmen.”
“Could something have gone wrong?”
“Probably!”
“Oh, they've also been widely recruiting Loose Cultivators in the city recently.”
“Saying they want them to be temporary guards for their clan!”
“Anyone whose cultivation level is above Mortal Shedding Realm can go and sign up!”
“Once accepted, the Wu Clan guarantees!”
“At least one thousand-year Spirit Medicine and a hundred Spirit Crystals per month!”
“It is said that many Loose Cultivators have already gone!”
“Hiss...”
“That good?”
“Of course, do you want to go too? With your Mortal Shedding Fourth Realm cultivation level.”
“You'll most likely be chosen!”
“Hehe!”
“Then I must give it a good try. If I can really become a guard for a great clan.”
“Why would I remain a Loose Cultivator!”
“Living day by day with my head on my belt, living a life of apprehension and diligence.”
“How can that be as comfortable as being a guard for a great clan!”
“I'm going now!”
“Even if it's temporary, I'll do it!”
“Together, together, let's go together, I also want to change my way of life.”
“Otherwise, in a few more days!”
“If their clan announces they're no longer recruiting, wouldn't that be a huge loss!”
“...Are you not afraid of a trick?”
“Afraid? What's there to be afraid of!”
“Didn't their clan say it's just temporary guards, and they'll be dismissed when the term is up.”
“Even if it's just for a month, that's not bad!”
“To be able to comfortably spend a month, or even several months.”
“Why not?”
Even without using his Primordial Spirit!
Jiang Yi, walking on the street, had extremely keen perception.
Naturally, he could clearly hear the conversations between those Loose Cultivators.
He glanced at one of them!
His body was strong, tall, and burly!
Someone like this!
Would clearly be chosen by the Wu Clan!
After all, they were going to be Mine Slaves, mining, how could they do it without some strength?
As for whether it was temporary?
That would depend on how they were exploited!
Just then!
A grey-clothed youth of medium build with a somewhat sallow face quickened his steps.
Coming to his side.
“This Young Master, you look very unfamiliar!”
As he spoke, he bowed and cupped his hands in greeting.
A fawning smile appeared on his face!
“Little one, Zhang San, may I ask if Young Master needs a local guide, or perhaps a helper?”
“Little one was born in this Great Desolate City!”
“From a young age, I've roamed these streets and alleys, knowing everything, understanding everything!”
“I have the small title of 'Great Desolate City's Jack-of-all-trades'.”
“If Young Master has any needs, you can tell the little one.
The little one guarantees to handle it perfectly for you!”
Zhang San prided himself on his keen eyesight!
Earlier!
He had already noticed this young man in front of him.
Dressed in white, with a tall and straight figure!
His face was handsome, yet firm!
He also had an invisible, special temperament, seemingly indifferent, yet noble.
He must be of extraordinary status!
He was probably from a great clan, out for experience!
Moreover, he had no attendants by his side!
Looking at it this way!
Didn't the Opportunity just present itself?
An Opportunity not to be missed, for it may not come again!
Zhang San naturally didn't hesitate too much and stepped forward to inquire decisively.
What if he was favored!
If he was casually rewarded with something, wouldn't he make a fortune?
