Chapter 246 Ink Abyss Immortal City

Chapter 246 Ink Abyss Immortal City

Mirror Snow Pavilion Seventh Floor, the fragrance of Tea permeated the air.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Long's visit to This Sect entails?" Gu Qingzhao asked as she poured him a cup of Spirit Tea.

She had also heard of this Wei Kingdom Cultivator, a highly renowned and powerful figure.

It was just that Daoist Long was elusive, and the outside world's understanding of him was extremely limited.

Daoist Long picked up his teacup, took a sip, and cut straight to the point, stating his purpose: "I need to go to Liang Kingdom. I heard that your Pavilion has large merchant ships traveling between countries, so I would like to hitch a ride."

"So that's it. Coincidentally, there will be a merchant ship going to Liang Kingdom at the end of the month, which will come here to transfer Resources. Fellow Cultivator Long can go together then," Gu Qingzhao said with a sudden realization.

Daoist Long said, "Very good. May I ask about the fare?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Long is a leading figure among Wei Kingdom Cultivators. With Fellow Daoist in charge of This Sect's merchant ship, it's something we eagerly desire. How could we possibly charge a fee?" Gu Qingzhao said with a faint smile.

As she spoke, she handed a VIP Token to the other party.

In the Cultivation World, Strength is Paramount has been the way since ancient times. With Daoist Long's reputation as the Top Expert Below the Golden Core Stage, naturally, he would be treated as a VIP wherever he went.

Even a Major Power like Mirror Snow Pavilion clearly showed their Intent to Befriend him.

"Fellow Daoist Long can stay in This Sect for a few days. I will instruct someone to arrange a Tranquil Superior Room."

"Then I will have to thank Pavilion Lord Gu." Qin Ming did not decline.

Qin Ming stayed in Mirror Snow Pavilion for several days without ever going out, only engaging in Meditative Cultivation.

Seven days later.

A Giant Ship, thousands of feet long, slowly sailed into Azure Sea Immortal City and docked at the City Gate. The Mast above bore the unique Symbol of Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Thousands of Cultivators disembarked from the ship, in various forms and appearances. Some were carrying goods, others were Rogue Cultivators, and still others were Sect Disciples, presumably having boarded the Magic Boat from other places to come to the Immortal City.

After all, Azure Sea Immortal City was now recruiting Cultivators and offering extremely Generous Benefits, attracting many Rogue Cultivators and External Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Long, you can board the ship and set off for Liang Kingdom."

"Let me introduce you, this is Protector Huangfu Qi of This Sect. He is also Lead Team this time to Ensure Safe Passage along the way," Gu Qingzhao said. Protector Huangfu Qi, who looked like a scholar, stood beside her.

Protector Huangfu Qi had Deeply Admire for the Legendary Tales of this Curly-Bearded Strongman before him, so he said very politely:

"Fellow Daoist Long, I have long admired you, I have long admired you."

"Seeing is believing, haha!"

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, You flatter me. Just some Mere Reputation."

Subsequently, Qin Ming and Huangfu Qi boarded the Magic Ship together.

Once Mirror Snow Pavilion's Resources were transferred, many more Cultivators heading to Liang Kingdom boarded the ship. The Magic Boat slowly started, embarking on the journey to Liang Kingdom.

Half a month later.

Mirror Snow Pavilion's Magic Boat entered Liang Country Territory.

During the Magic Boat's journey, it also encountered several Demonic Beast swarms, which were resolved by Huangfu Qi leading his team.

In addition, they also faced inspections from Liang Kingdom's law enforcement Cultivators.

Recently, traces of Demonic Cultivators had also begun to vaguely appear in various countries' territories, and all of them had increased their inspection efforts.

"Fellow Daoist Long, Liang Kingdom has arrived. The destination of this merchant ship is Ink Abyss Immortal City in Liang Kingdom."

"I wonder if you have a destination in mind?" Huangfu Qi asked with a smile.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then replied, "I will also disembark at Ink Abyss Immortal City."

Along the way, he had also learned some information about Liang Kingdom from the Devouring Heaven Rat.

Ink Abyss Immortal City was the largest Immortal City in Liang Kingdom, and the Power behind it was Profound Stream Valley, a hegemonic Sect of Liang Kingdom. It would be convenient for him to inquire about information there.

Half a day later.

The Magic Ship passed through a patch of miasma that blotted out the Sky and arrived at Chuzhou within Liang Kingdom, in a vast Swamp.

The Swamp was filled with Poisonous Miasma year-round. The miasma was like a natural chasm, separating this place from the Mortal World.

Various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts lurked within. Not to mention mortals, even Cultivators with slightly lower Cultivation might lose their lives if they rashly approached.

An hour later.

Mirror Snow Pavilion's Magic Boat passed through the Poisonous Miasma Swamp and entered a Spirit Qi-rich and beautiful Mountain Range.

Not far away, a huge City hidden among Mountain Ranges appeared in everyone's sight.

There was no distinction between inner and Outer City within, but City Gates were set up in all four directions: east, west, north, and south.

Under the Sky, a blue, hazy giant Tier-3 Grand Formation enveloped the entire Immortal City.

"This is Ink Abyss Immortal City. As expected of the number one Great Sect of Liang Kingdom, its scale is actually more than twice as large as Vast Sea Immortal City," Daoist Long, transformed by Qin Ming, said in a deep voice.

Huangfu Qi smiled upon hearing this, "This Immortal City was built single-handedly by the Founding Old Ancestor 'Yunxi' Grandmaster of Profound Stream Valley thousands of years ago. It has stood for thousands of years and is among the top Great Cities in the entire Southern Wastelands Cultivation World."

"Moreover, the Spirit Vein Environment in the Immortal City Core District is also a Tier 3 High Grade Spirit Vein, no worse than Vast Sea Immortal City."

"The Cultivation Resources in Ink Abyss Immortal City are also richer than in Wei Kingdom, and even Third-Order Materials are available for Sale."

"Therefore, it has Attracted by Reputation many High-Level Cultivators to come, and even many Pseudo-Core Cultivators and Golden Core True Persons will choose to come here to Trade and collect Cultivation Resources needed for daily practice."

"Ancestor Yuheng of Profound Stream Valley is stationed in the City. He is at the Mid Core Formation Stage, so even Golden Core True Persons would not dare to Act Rashly within the City."

Qin Ming nodded upon hearing this.

Subsequently, Mirror Snow Pavilion's Magic Boat docked at the East City Gate of Ink Abyss Immortal City.

"Brother Huangfu, thank you for your Hospitality these past few days. I have matters to attend to, so I will take my Farewell here," Qin Ming said to Huangfu Qi in a deep voice.

Huangfu Qi smiled upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Long, you are too kind. Farewell, until we meet again."

Huangfu Qi and he were also kindred spirits. On the way to Liang Kingdom, he had treated him with no shortage of Fine Wine and Cuisine, even taking out a jar of Jade Unicorn Wine. After Qin Ming bid him Farewell, he arrived at the City Gate. After verifying his identity and completing the inspection, he Paid Spirit Stones and entered the Immortal City.

As soon as he passed through the City Gate, he noticed that many Cultivators did not Pay Spirit Stones. Only after asking did he learn that Cultivators with Temporary Residence Right and Property Ownership in Ink Abyss Immortal City were not required to Pay Spirit Stones.

Qin Ming followed the Main Street and rented a Cave Residence with a Third-Order Spirit Vein Environment in the Core District area North of the City. The price was naturally not cheap.

However, Qin Ming was no longer concerned about this bit of Spirit Stone now; he should spend when necessary.

After Qin Ming Settled Down in Ink Abyss Immortal City, through a few days of Observation, he discovered that many Cultivators were leading Young Disciples to appear in the Immortal City.

These people, in all likelihood, were also coming for the Pill Tower Selection of Profound Stream Valley, which was held once every ten years.

After all, which Cultivator would not want to Join a Great Sect like Profound Stream Valley?

However, in the process of inquiring, Qin Ming learned extremely unfavorable news.

That was that he was one step late. Profound Stream Valley's Disciple Selection was extremely Strict Scrutiny regarding the Background and Lineage of the Disciple they recruited.

Moreover, the Disciples participating in this Disciple Selection had already been Registered a year ago.

Even if one successfully Joined Profound Stream Valley, they would still have to undergo a Probation Period.

Qin Ming's plan to use the True Fiend Illusion to Infiltrate it had immediately fallen through.
