Chapter Ten Seeking Death

  Cloud City Billboard.

  The world of cultivators is actually an extension of the mortal world, from inns to markets, from shops to wine houses, everything that exists in the mortal world also exists here.

  The entire Xianxia world has long passed the stage of cultivating with external objects.

  The notice board wrote about recent big events, such as a dispute that occurred in the South China Sea, and it seemed that there was a shadow of a demonic cultivator. In the southwest, a large sea monster appeared, and those with insufficient cultivation should try not to get close. Below were some small Daoist messages, all added by various scattered cultivators, which were quite chaotic. Because Li Qingyun even saw the mark left by **Zong Nüxiu, the female cultivator of this sect was most enchanting, skilled in the art of absorbing yang energy to nourish yin.

  The world of immortals is actually not so detached from reality, because apart from a very small number of lucky ones who can achieve ascension.

  Others are just struggling in the mortal world.

  Those who ultimately achieve great things are all people with great willpower. Sometimes willpower is even more important than talent!

  "Is someone following me?"

  As Li Qingyun walked towards the Xianling Inn on the other side of the bulletin board, he immediately discovered that something was off.

  His current cultivation is only at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, although he has the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid circulating within his body, it's still far from the realm of the Golden Elixir stage. He originally thought that with such a low-level cultivation, no one would notice him, but unexpectedly, someone started secretly following him after just a short while. It's unclear whether it was because he had used a low-grade artifact at the Treasure Pavilion earlier or if it was when he purchased the Tear of the Mermaid at the Mirage Market.

  At this thought, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Qingyun's eyes.

  Although he himself had never done anything like murder and robbery, he had seen such things too many times.

  The North Sea is also a place where scattered cultivators gather. Although there aren't as many as in the South Sea, he had encountered such things more than once or twice during his previous travels.

  As the resources in the Immortal Realm become increasingly scarce, internal killings and struggles have become a common occurrence!

  Even a prestigious sect like Qingyang Palace has clashed with other sects several times in order to seize the spiritual stone mine.

  As Li Qingyun turned a corner, his figure suddenly disappeared and his entire being was completely withdrawn. The people following behind him were shocked and their footsteps quickened by several paces.

  "Actually three people?"

  As they turned around the corner, Li Qingyun's figure reappeared, but this time heading out of Yun City.

  The first white-faced scholar showed a hint of joy and clapped his hands, saying: "Heaven is helping me too!"

  "I thought he would stay in the city for a while longer, and we'd have to send someone to follow him at all times. Who would have expected that he would actually take his own life!"

  "Contemplate Clouds."

  "Does he really have a treasure on him?"

  That guy with a hint of arrogance followed along, gazing at Li Qingyun's departing figure with greedy eyes and nodded, saying "Absolutely!"

  "But I'm worried there might be others from his sect waiting outside!"

  "After all."

  "Ordinary cultivators are unlikely to obtain middle-grade treasure equipment."

  The white-faced scholar shook his fan and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter."

  "This is the South Sea, even those famous sects can't reach here, as long as we act quickly and throw the corpse into the sea."

  "They can't find out even if they want to."

  If it weren't for concerns that the other party might have someone from their sect waiting in ambush, with his current cultivation level as a Void Dan stage practitioner, he wouldn't need to personally take action.

  A true aristocratic family, disciples under the virtual elixir period are absolutely not allowed to go down the mountain, let alone come to a chaotic place like Nanhai for training. Looking at the other person's appearance, it should also be just a small sect, there are many such small sects in the immortal world, and in recent hundreds of years, even some golden elixir period cultivators have established their own sects. The white-faced scholar is a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect, although it can't be said to be one of the top aristocratic families in the immortal world, but it also belongs to a relatively large sect.

  Yin-yang sect and **sect are the same, both walking on the path of dual cultivation and mutual supplementation.

  In the Xianxia world, places like Yun Cheng all have temples set up by the Yin Yang Sect and **Sect. The only difference is that **Sect only accepts female disciples, while the Yin Yang Sect accepts both males and females.

  This white-faced book boy and Li Qingyun found that the **Zong Nüxiu Yinji** on the bulletin board was actually a fellow traveler.

  If there's anything different about him, it's that he once had a strange encounter and as an outer sect disciple, he quickly cultivated to the Void Core stage. If he went any further, he could enter the inner sect.

  The male disciples recruited by the Yin Yang Sect are all handsome and elegant, and apart from being cultivated for their own use, they have no other purpose.

  So this sect's reputation is even worse than **Zong!

  They have always been extremely rejected by the famous schools, and the disciples of Qingyang Palace are even more strictly forbidden to interact with people from these two sects.

  However.

  It's strange to say.

  Apart from the founding masters of these two sects who attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, all their subsequent successors, no matter how talented or extraordinary they were, ultimately fell under the heavenly tribulation.

  Even some small and medium-sized sects have people who are lucky enough to ascend to heaven!

  But they alone seem to have a hurdle in their way that they cannot cross.

  Therefore, although the Qingyang Palace is the most erudite sect in the entire Xianxia world, its disciples are absolutely forbidden from practicing both of these sects' techniques.

  Li Qingyun had seen their cultivation methods, but felt they were too obscene and decadent, especially since the beginning was a vivid depiction of ***, so he didn't even bother to take a closer look.

  His body originally had a tyrannical and overbearing aura of golden energy!

  If one is led astray by lustful desires, it will inevitably lead to chaos and madness, affecting one's own nature.

  ………

  Li Qingyun left Langya County and headed directly towards Nanhai.

  Since the other party was secretly following him, it's naturally not a good intention. Since beheading that Jigong period monk in Jingzhou City, Li Qingyun hadn't encountered those kinds of murderous treasure snatchers again.

  Perhaps it was because his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage, so those people didn't have much interest in him.

  Last time he killed that Foundation Building cultivator, Li Qingyun directly obtained enough spirit stones to reach the 10th layer of Qi Refining. This time, he encountered someone who coveted his treasure, and he might as well see if he could get one or two Foundation Building pills out of it. Anyway, people like this aren't anything good, and killing one is just killing one; if he hadn't met him today, maybe others would have suffered instead.

  "Huh?"

  "Could there actually be another Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"

  In the distance, the waves of the sea can already be seen, Li Qingyun put away the Wind Control Technique and landed quietly on a reef rock to wait.

  Looks like there's some background to this.

  To deal with a cultivator in the tenth layer of Qi Refining, even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the middle stage came out.

  Isn't it possible that the other party knows his identity?

  It shouldn't be like this.

  Soon a flash of light appeared in the distance, and then the figures of three monks fell to the ground.

  One in the middle of the Foundation Building stage, one in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, and one who has just established their foundation.

  Li Qingyun saw a familiar face among them, seemingly the accomplice of Mirage, and it seemed that they had been following themselves after seeing him take out the treasure.

  "There is no one nearby."

  The White-Faced Bookworm styled himself as Jade-Faced Young Master and had a terrible reputation in Cloud City, for he had toyed with many female cultivators, some of whom even directly disappeared.

  The Yin-Yang Sect's technique can steal a person's essence and even take their life, the difference with the demonic path is not great.

  If it weren't for the nine-tailed fox demon's chaos in those years, the Yin-Yang Sect would have also made a move, and perhaps the prestigious sects like Qingyang Palace would have long since denounced it as an evil demonic cult.

  "Isn't there anyone from the sect coming to meet us?"

  Bai Liang Shu's face was somewhat surprised and uncertain, because the expression in front of him, Li Qingyun, was too calm.

  If there's someone nearby, to make him not discover, at least it would require a Golden Core cultivation base. How could a Qi Refining tenth layer cultivator have a Golden Core True Person protecting and escorting them from behind?

  "Get moving?"

  The first to lose patience was another loose cultivator, who glanced at Li Qingyun in front of him and hadn't built his foundation yet. He raised his hand and threw out a flying sword, transforming into sixteen chains that wrapped around him.

  Splendid!

  The chain easily wrapped around Li Qingyun, but as he lightly shook his wrist, it immediately shattered into pieces.

  The fractured incision was as smooth as a sword cut, and the cultivator who made the move spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, his expression completely dispirited.

  "Earth Concealment!"

  Li Qingyun's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of that loose cultivator.

  He raised his hand and made a gentle swipe, a golden sword light appeared, and he saw a head flying up. In the instant when the headless corpse fell to the ground, a dark soul was also shattered by the golden essence of the sword.

  One-second kill!?

  A master in the late stage of foundation building was actually killed by a master in the refining Qi stage?

  Before the other party could react, Li Qingyun's palm swung flatly, as if a substantial sword edge had burst out, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound. The shopkeeper who had seen once in the mirage was cut in two halves. A top-grade artifact couldn't even block the opponent's one move, completely like it was made of paper, and with a casual swing, it was cut into two halves.

  This is absolutely not a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage!

  The white-faced bookworm was furious in his heart and hated the guy who had just been killed by Li Qingyun, so he immediately drove away with a flash of light and fled towards Yun City.

  Now.

  The Yun Cheng law that had been affecting his business all along became the last straw that saved his life.
