Chapter 997: Chapter 712: Special Status

Intending to pass through Moonrise Immortal City, heading to the more secure and prosperous Myriad Phenomena Immortal City.

"Fellow Daoist Shen desires to go to Myriad Phenomena Immortal City?"

True Master Minghua personally poured tea for Shen Xuan: "Do you have a specific plan?"

Times are different now.

The war between the Human Race and the Demon Race is at its peak, the sects on the border resist step by step, with huge casualties, urgently needing to recruit Loose Cultivators to supplement their power.

Someone like Shen Xingchen, a Fire Technique Golden Core and Dharma Realm Body Refining Master.

Even as a Loose Cultivator, he is held in high regard.

"I know a thing or two."

Shen Xuan picked up the teacup, speaking calmly.

"I heard that Moonrise Immortal City has a Sect’s Spaceship that regularly travels to various Immortal Cities in the rear, including Myriad Phenomena Immortal City. I want to take this spaceship there."

True Master Minghua sighed gently at these words and put down the teapot.

"Fellow Daoist Shen may not be aware. Last month, due to tensions at the front line, the five great sects of Qin Country issued a joint order, strictly prohibiting cultivators from retreating without permission."

"All sects, families, and Loose Cultivators have the duty to defend their land without yielding an inch. Nowadays, all Sect’s Spaceships departing from Moonrise Immortal City to the rear are suspended."

"All suspended?"

Shen Xuan frowned slightly, putting down the teacup.

This is indeed an unexpected trouble.

From here to Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, the journey is long and the risks are significant.

Especially now, during wartime.

Even a Golden Core True Master traveling alone faces certain risks.

Moreover, the journey takes too much time, unfavorable for cultivation.

"Is there another way?"

Shen Xuan asked directly.

True Master Minghua did not respond immediately, glancing at the Chu family patriarch.

Understanding, the Chu family patriarch rose immediately, respectfully saying: "The ancestor is discussing matters with Senior Shen, we younger generations will take our leave first."

With this statement, he quietly withdrew from the silent room with Chu Yuehua and Chu Yueyun, carefully closing the door.

Only the two of them remained in the silent room.

True Master Minghua raised his hand to perform a spell, a layer of soft blue light screen rose, enveloping the entire silent room, isolating it from outside.

"Fellow Daoist Shen has done my Chu family a favor, I will speak frankly."

"Indeed, there is another way. However, it requires significant cost and waiting for the right opportunity."

"Although a flight ban has been issued, there are always some individuals with special status or urgent matters who must return to the rear. Hence, a secret retreat channel exists."

Shen Xuan asked: "What secret channel?"

"Using the Commerce Alliance’s name and spaceship for secret flights. This kind of matter is not recorded in the sect’s records. Once discovered, the Moonrise Sect will not acknowledge it."

True Master Minghua explained.

Shen Xuan showed a look of understanding.

"What are the risks?"

"Naturally, there are risks. Among the passengers, some have special backgrounds and noble identities. Thus the Commerce Alliance provides certain security and confidentiality guarantees. Of course, due to this, the selection of passengers is extremely strict."

"What are the requirements?"

True Master Minghua held up two fingers: "Firstly, the fee is high. One person for a single trip costs 100,000 Spirit Stones, paid in advance, no credit."

"Secondly, a guarantee is required. Two True Masters from Moonrise Sect must jointly provide a guarantee to verify identity, record it, ensuring nothing goes wrong."

100,000 Spirit Stones, two True Masters guarantee.

After hearing this, Shen Xuan understood.

This is the retreat channel prepared for "special individuals."

"Fellow Daoist Ming Hua, could you think of a way for me, Shen?"

"No problem. Leave it to me. But it will take some time to operate."

Shen Xuan took out 20 Upper Grade spirit stones.

"This is 200,000, prepaid for the ticket and guarantee fees. If it’s not enough..."

"It’s enough!"

True Master Minghua smiled, "Fellow Daoist Shen, rest assured. My Chu family always repays kindness. This matter, I will definitely handle it for you."

"Then I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Ming Hua."

True Master Minghua was straightforward about the fact that secret channel spaceships exist every month.

To arrange the ticket and guarantee matters for Shen Xuan, it would take two to three months of operation.

During this time, Shen Xuan temporarily resided at the Chu family in Yuehua Mountain.

This place has a serene environment, and is only 300 miles from Moonrise Immortal City, quite convenient.

...

The next day, Shen Xuan quietly entered Moonrise Immortal City alone.

Without a doubt, this city is the core foundation of the Moonrise Sect, situated atop a Tier Three Upper Grade Wood Spirit Vein, grand in scale and magnificent, even surpassing Mingyan Immortal City by a bit.

What’s more rare is that Moonrise Sect has a favorable reputation in the Cultivation Realm of Qin Country, particularly with a relatively lenient attitude towards Loose Cultivators.

There is only one iron rule in the city.

As long as you are a Human Race Cultivator who hasn’t betrayed the Human Race, as long as you behave within the city, irrespective of past identities or grievances, you may enter the city temporarily, treated equally.

Of course, this protection is limited to within the city.

Outside Moonrise City, life and death are one’s own responsibility.

Shen Xuan registered with the alias "Shen Xingchen" at the city’s gate, successfully entering the city.

He did not deliberately restrain his aura.

A few Low Tier Cultivators making a living near the city gate immediately gathered forward, bowing respectfully.

"Senior! We juniors are familiar with all the matters inside and outside Moonrise City, do you need a guide?"

"Senior, I know the details of various shops, can guide you!"

Shen Xuan swept his gaze over them and casually chose a clever-looking young cultivator.

"You then. First, take me to the best shop in the city to look around."

"Yes! Thank you, Senior, for this honor!"

The youth was overjoyed, bowing, "Junior Feng Xingyun, I will certainly serve Senior wholeheartedly!"

"Very well, lead the way ahead."

"Senior, please follow me!"

Feng Xingyun smiled broadly, straightened his back, leading the way energetically.

Those cultivators not selected watched with envy and even jealousy.

Being a guide for a Core Formation True Master not only comes with generous rewards but is also valuable experience, enough to boast among peers for a while.

Shen Xuan followed behind Feng Xingyun, walking neither hurriedly nor slowly, surveying this bustling Immortal City.
