Chapter 262 - 228: Qingyang Immortal City, the Ten-Year Grand Event

Chapter 262: Chapter 228: Qingyang Immortal City, the Ten-Year Grand Event

Qingyang Immortal City was packed with a dense constellation of shops, bustling with a great number of Cultivators.

The Immortal City was built upon a Tier Four Spirit Vein, and its very core was the Blessed Land at the Spirit Vein’s source.

The Qingyang Immortal Palace, built upon this Blessed Land at the Spirit Vein’s source, was the heart of the Immortal City.

The Nascent Soul Great Cultivator from the Cyan Yang Immortal Sect who oversaw the Immortal City resided within the Qingyang Immortal Palace.

Aside from him, there were also some of the Immortal Palace’s Elders.

Below the Qingyang Immortal Palace, sprawling complexes of palaces and buildings housed some of the Immortal City’s major powers.

Spreading out from there were the city’s core districts, the Inner City, and the Outer City.

After entering Qingyang Immortal City, Xu Chang’an didn’t waste any time in the Outer City or Inner City, heading directly for the city’s core.

He had already made thorough plans and preparations for this trip to Cyan Yang.

The Cultivation he revealed was that of the Early-stage Core Formation, and he presented himself as an Independent Practitioner from the Canglan Cultivation Realm.

He was intimately familiar with the state of the Canglan Cultivation Realm, so he wasn’t afraid of anyone trying to test him.

Besides, even if they discovered he wasn’t actually a Core Formation Zhenren from the Canglan Cultivation Realm, it would be a trivial matter so long as his Demon Race identity remained hidden.

Within the core of the Immortal City, Xu Chang’an had a clear objective: to liquidate a portion of his resources and materials.

He didn’t sell off core resources like the Tier Four Array inheritance, the Quasi-Fourth Tier Puppet, or the Tier Three High-Grade Puppets.

He sold off all of his more common resources.

The wealth he displayed was roughly what one would expect from a Core Formation Zhenren with a deep foundation.

After clearing his inventory, Xu Chang’an then purchased some Elixirs and Spirit Medicines to accumulate Energy for his status panel.

After doing all this, Xu Chang’an went directly to a Law Enforcement Cultivator of Qingyang Immortal City and expressed his intention to lease a Spirit Vein Blessed Land.

There were Spirit Vein Blessed Lands both inside and outside Qingyang Immortal City.

Naturally, these Spirit Vein Blessed Lands were available for lease.

Facing a Core Formation Zhenren, the Law Enforcement Cultivator from Qingyang Immortal City dared not be careless and led him into the Qingyang Immortal Palace.

The one who received Xu Chang’an at the Qingyang Immortal Palace was a Core Formation Zhenren named Mo Li.

Moli Zhenren had an Early-stage Core Formation Cultivation.

He was an Elder of the Cyan Yang Immortal Sect stationed in the Immortal City.

"Master Xu, I wonder, are you looking to reside within the Immortal City or outside of it?"

Mo Li sat on his chair, looking at the rosy-lipped, pearly-toothed youth before him, and asked with a smile.

Just a moment ago, Xu Chang’an and Mo Li had spoken, and he had briefly introduced his background.

He was an Independent Practitioner from the Canglan Cultivation Realm, and he intended to settle in Qingyang Immortal City.

"Outside the Immortal City. I practice Alchemy, and the space I require is not small!"

Xu Chang’an replied with a smile.

"Oh? Master Xu is also an Alchemist?"

Mo Li was quite surprised.

Of all the hundreds of arts in cultivation, Alchemy was top-tier, and that was no joke!

Unfortunately, Alchemy demanded no small amount of Talent, and it was constrained by the availability of materials. A typical Loose Cultivator rarely had the opportunity to even attempt refining.

To truly make a name for oneself in the path of Alchemy, the requirements were extremely harsh.

’Since Master Xu brought up Alchemy specifically, his skill must not be low. He has to be at least a Tier Two Alchemist!’

"Indeed. I plan to settle in the Immortal City this time precisely to refine Elixirs and support my own cultivation needs."

Hearing Xu Chang’an’s words, Mo Li was somewhat taken aback.

’If he can support his own cultivation needs, then this Master Xu’s skill in Alchemy is definitely not low.’

’It’s even higher than I imagined. He’d have to be at least a Quasi-Third Tier Alchemist to be able to meet the cultivation needs of a Core Formation Zhenren.’

"May I ask about the extent of Master Xu’s skills in Alchemy?"

Mo Li didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Hearing this, Xu Chang’an gave a knowing smile.

"I was already a Tier Three Low-grade Alchemist many years ago. Now, I have touched the realm of Tier Three Middle Grade and expect to become a Tier Three Middle-grade Alchemist within the next thirty years!"

In truth, it hadn’t been long since Xu Chang’an had advanced to a Tier Three Alchemist.

However, he needed to justify the high-end resources he planned to sell later, so he had to make his skills sound more refined.

This way, it would seem reasonable for him to possess some resources that were beyond his apparent Cultivation level.

Furthermore, if he wanted to establish himself in Qingyang Immortal City and make a name for himself, he had to know how to market himself.

Revealing to Moli Zhenren that he was on the verge of becoming a Tier Three Middle-grade Alchemist was part of this self-marketing.

’He’s touched the realm of Tier Three Middle Grade!?’

Mo Li’s eyes lit up.

The conversation between the two became increasingly amicable.

Alchemists held a respected status. An Alchemist who was on the verge of reaching Tier Three Middle Grade was well worth befriending, even for an Elder of the Cyan Yang Immortal Sect like Mo Li.

After some more discussion and selecting a Spirit Vein Blessed Land, Moli Zhenren personally took Xu Chang’an to inspect it.

After inspecting several mountain peaks, Xu Chang’an chose a Spirit Vein Blessed Land called Cyan Lotus Mountain.

After some negotiations, Xu Chang’an leased Cyan Lotus Mountain, located a hundred li from Qingyang Immortal City, for a considerable price.

Cyan Lotus Mountain stood as a solitary peak, possessing a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein. It also allowed for the channeling of Earth Fire, meeting the conditions for Alchemy.

Given the Core Formation Cultivation Xu Chang’an displayed and his identity as an Alchemist on the cusp of becoming Tier Three Middle-grade, leasing such a mountain was not excessive.

Under the guidance and witness of the Cyan Yang Immortal Sect’s Elder, Moli Zhenren, Xu Chang’an formally took up residence on Cyan Lotus Mountain.

There were many cave abodes for rent or sale around Cyan Lotus Mountain, mostly occupied by Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators.

Cyan Lotus Mountain stood as a solitary peak, and Xu Chang’an had the entire peak to himself.

There was an existing cave abode on the peak, covering a vast area.

It had everything one could need: Array Restrictions, medicine gardens and orchards, courtyards and pavilions, streams and lakes.

Xu Chang’an wouldn’t need to put in much effort to renovate it; only minor adjustments would be necessary.
