234: Encountering an Immortal Cultivator

"Sir, are you sure you only need one room?"

Chen Tianming frowned slightly, "Otherwise?"

Why are the receptionists here so nosy?

Perhaps sensing Chen Tianming's displeasure, the other party didn't say much more and quickly checked them in.

Chen Tianming specifically chose a star-rated hotel on a relatively bustling street in the Southern Border region.

The most luxurious suite here was on the top floor.

From the high-rise, one could overlook the continuous flow of people on the street and the hawking vendors.

Compared to the prosperity of big cities, this place had more of a bustling, down-to-earth atmosphere, and occasionally, people in ethnic costumes could be seen walking on the street.

"The more places like this, the more abundant the spiritual energy; you can feel it even in the room."

Wan Yue had appeared before him at some point, following Chen Tianming's gaze to look outside. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about which sect the person who was filmed earlier belongs to, and how many more people like him there are."

Wan Yue couldn't answer this question.

But one thing was certain.

"This trip, we will definitely gain something. I have a hunch that there are quite a few Cultivators here."

Chen Tianming nodded, saying nothing more.

Actually, why did he come here for just this one thing?

It was also for Chen Yun.

Chen Yun was killed by a Cultivator, and Dong Qingyun was also killed by the same person.

The time was not yet ripe; if he could act before then, he could save Chen Yun.

How could his own son die at someone else's hands?

Thinking this, Chen Tianming immediately turned around and no longer looked outside.

"Hubby, look, the bathroom here is so big."

At this moment, Ding Xiaoyu came out of the bathroom, speaking with a hint of emotion.

In the past, Ding Xiaoyu was either cultivating in the mountains or following Guan Yue to find a furnace outside.

She rarely had the opportunity to see the outside world.

At this moment, she was both excited and thrilled, a beautiful smile appearing on her delicate face.

"Xiaoyu, I have something I want to ask you."

Seeing Chen Tianming's serious expression, Ding Xiaoyu temporarily reined in her thoughts. "Hubby, what do you need me for again?"

"I want to ask you about Cultivators."

Among the three of them, only Ding Xiaoyu came from a legitimate cultivation sect.

Moreover, she had some dealings with Guan Yue's sect back then.

Asking her about these matters was the most suitable.

Who knew that a helpless expression quickly appeared on Ding Xiaoyu's face.

"Hubby, if I knew, I would definitely tell you, but I'm not very clear about such things. To put it plainly, our Spirit Gathering sect is just a rogue Cultivator sect, and Guan Yue's clan is the same. There are no suitable cultivation places near the Demon City, so everyone has just been huddling together for generations; it's not considered orthodox."

Looking into Ding Xiaoyu's eyes, Chen Tianming knew she wasn't lying to him.

"However, Hubby, there's one thing I'm very clear about."

Ding Xiaoyu was originally dejected that she wasn't useful, but in the next second, as if she remembered something, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.

"What?"

"There used to be many large families stationed here in the Southern Border, but our sect was too small, so we didn't have any dealings with them. Most of the cultivation families here are somewhat related. If we can really find out, we can follow the clues and uncover the entire network here."

This meant that this place couldn't be easily touched; if it was, it would be uprooted.

Chen Tianming's lips curved into a faint arc.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

It was still early. Although the journey had consumed a lot of their energy, it was indeed too early to go to sleep.

Adhering to the mindset of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do,' Chen Tianming suggested taking the two girls to stroll around the nearby streets.

It would be best if they found something; if not, it would just be accompanying two beauties to enjoy the night view.

On the ancient-style street, the hawking never ceased.

Wan Yue and the other's eyes were almost not enough. After leaving the hotel and walking straight along this street, they discovered many shops.

"Hubby, I want this."

Passing a stall, Ding Xiaoyu was immediately attracted by a silver bracelet on the stall.

As soon as Chen Tianming approached, he noticed the difference in the silver bracelet.

It clearly contained spiritual energy.

Obviously, Ding Xiaoyu wasn't truly interested in such a flashy bracelet, but rather attracted by the power contained within it.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked.

The smile in her eyes also became more obvious at this moment.

Chen Tianming naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately paid for it.

"How about it, Hubby, my eyesight isn't bad, right?"

Ding Xiaoyu, as if showing off, wore the bracelet on her wrist.

At this moment, taking advantage of no one being around, she even lowered her voice.

"When we go back, I'll extract the spiritual power from it. Then you can improve your cultivation, and I can get a bracelet. This is something you gave me."

The girl's eyes were full of smiles.

It made one feel much better just looking at her.

Chen Tianming couldn't be happier.

Now he was embracing both sides.

Having two beauties follow him, the feeling was incredibly refreshing.

"This thing isn't worth this price."

Suddenly, a man with his long hair half-tied up at a nearby stall spoke with a serious expression.

At this moment, he was holding a jade goblet in his hand.

"This is a good item, take a closer look."

The stall owner didn't want to miss a good selling opportunity and couldn't help but say from the side.

"I have looked closely, that's why I said it's not worth this price."

The man said, raising his head, then held up one finger.

"1000 yuan at most."

"I say, young man, you can't bargain like that. I priced this at 50,000! Besides, this is a top-grade pre-exhibition piece, how can it be worth so little?"

The shop owner was very unwilling at this moment.

Who knew the man didn't say anything more.

He just put the item down and left.

"This person is really crazy, only offering 1000 yuan for such a good jade."

The shop owner muttered to himself, the expression on his face unconsciously becoming much more serious.

There were many people coming and going on the street, and soon someone else was attracted by this jade.

The shop owner was probably a bit traumatized by that man. "50,000, no bargaining."

"No problem, I'll get the money now."

A smile immediately appeared on the shop owner's face.

And just as the two were about to complete the transaction, a roof tile suddenly fell directly from the eaves!

"Splat!"

The tile fell precisely, hitting the jade goblet. The jade goblet, which had been so glorious a second ago, instantly shattered into pieces!

The customer quickly put the cash he had taken out back into his bag, muttering to himself.

"What is this? It seems I really have no fate with this jade goblet."

As for the shop owner, he was heartbroken and quickly went to find the owner of the house behind to demand an explanation.
