Chapter 1: Entering the Town and Being Targeted

The Lower Immortal Realm is vast, hundreds of times larger than the Cultivation World.

Bing Cheng currently did not know where she was, so she had to figure that out first, as well as obtain detailed guides on Pill Formula, Immortal Plants, Immortal Medicines, Immortal Materials, Immortal Minerals, and the like.

"I wonder if I can still easily refine Immortal Pills and craft Immortal Artifacts like I did in the Cultivation World?"

Bing Cheng knew that she had been so successful in the Cultivation World because she was one of Wuming's Three Corpses and had piggybacked on his insights. However, Wuming did not have insights into refining Immortal Pills or crafting Immortal Artifacts, so Bing Cheng had to start from scratch.

She stepped into the town.

Most people here were at the Yuhua Realm, with very few Profound Immortals. In the Immortal Realm, there was no such thing as the Mortal Immortal stage.

"Fellow Daoist, you look like a stranger here. I assume you're also here for the Earth Immortal Cave Abode, right? I happen to have a map of the Earth Immortal Cave Abode that includes all the traps and mechanisms, guaranteeing you can reach the final Immortal Cave safely."

A Profound Immortal at the Early Stage snuck over and pulled a piece of animal skin from his bosom.

"It only costs ten immortal spirit stones."

Bing Cheng's mouth twitched. She didn't have a single immortal spirit stone, and it was obvious this person was a scammer. If there really was such a great Opportunity, why wouldn't he go himself?

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist. I don't have any immortal spirit stones and can't afford it. It's better to leave this Opportunity for those who are destined."

Upon hearing this, the man's mouth also twitched. A Profound Immortal wearing a full set of Low Grade Immortal Artifacts saying they had no immortal spirit stones? Who are you trying to fool!

"Fellow Daoist…" He wanted to say something more, but saw that Bing Cheng had already left.

"Clearly here for the Earth Immortal Cave Abode, yet unwilling to spend even this many immortal spirit stones. May you perish inside."

Bing Cheng wandered around the town and soon found a shop selling Immortal Pills, walking inside.

"That Earth Immortal Cave Abode is full of dangers. It seems the Opportunity there will fall into the hands of those immortal sects."

"Sigh, we might as well just endure for another ten thousand years."

Inside the shop, two old men sat opposite each other, sipping tea and discussing the Earth Immortal Cave Abode.

After breaking through to the Profound Immortal stage, one's Lifespan did not increase. Coupled with the limitations of the Immortal Realm's rules, it was roughly only a few tens of thousands of years. It couldn't even compare to the Cultivation World; at least in the Cultivation World, when one's limit approached, one could still undergo Reincarnation and cultivate again, but that was impossible in the Immortal Realm.

"Fellow Daoist, do you accept Immortal Artifacts here?"

Bing Cheng had just entered the Immortal Realm and was penniless, so she had to sell Immortal Artifacts to exchange for immortal spirit stones.

"We do."

One of the old men slowly stood up and walked to the counter.

Bing Cheng took out a large saber Immortal Artifact and placed it on the counter.

The old man picked up the large saber Immortal Artifact and examined it, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. Although it lasted for a very short time, Bing Cheng still caught it.

"The Materials used for this Immortal Artifact are mediocre, and the craftsmanship is rather rough. It's only worth twelve immortal spirit stones."

"Hehehe… Fellow Daoist, are you joking? You can take out your own Immortal Artifact and compare. I crafted this Immortal Artifact myself, and the Materials alone cost more than twenty immortal spirit stones."

Bing Cheng chuckled, while simultaneously stimulating all the Immortal Artifacts on her body.

Feeling the aura of so many Immortal Artifacts, the old man naturally realized he had tried to scam the wrong person and rubbed his eyes.

"I am truly sorry. Sigh, I'm old, and my eyes deceive me. Please, Fellow Daoist, allow me to take another look."

The old man put on a show and then held up four fingers.

"The Materials used for this Immortal Artifact are indeed quite precious, but it is only worth forty immortal spirit stones."

"Deal."

Bing Cheng didn't want to haggle further. Anyway, she still had a huge pile of bronze bricks and could craft more at any time.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have detailed guides on Immortal Plants and Immortal Medicines, as well as Pill Formulas for Immortal Pills?"

"We do."

The old man took two thick books from the counter but held them down with his hand.

"Ten immortal spirit stones in total. Fellow Daoist, did you Ascend from the Cultivation World, or are you a Loose Immortal of the Immortal Realm?"

"That is not important."

Bing Cheng pulled the two books out and held out her hand, saying, "And thirty immortal spirit stones."

She naturally knew what the old man meant.

Regardless of which one she answered, she would be targeted by him. Murder and looting were common occurrences, and the Immortal Realm was no exception.

"Hehehe…" The old man smiled and handed the thirty immortal spirit stones to Bing Cheng.

Bing Cheng did not stay long and headed to her next destination. Not long after walking out of the shop, she noticed someone following her—it was the other old man. His strength was at the Profound Immortal Early Stage, but his aura was natural and very thick; he was an expert among Profound Immortals.

"It seems this battle is unavoidable."

Bing Cheng didn't pay much attention to it. After wandering around, she found another shop selling Low Grade Immortal Artifacts and Immortal-grade Magic Treasures. She purchased detailed guides on Immortal Materials and Immortal Minerals and sold another Low Grade Immortal Artifact for forty-two immortal spirit stones.

The selling price of an ordinary Low Grade Immortal Artifact was around twenty immortal spirit stones; she estimated there was a distinction between superior and inferior quality.

She left the shop.

Afterward, she discovered the number of people following her had increased to two. The saying "don't flaunt your wealth" was likely because of the fear of encountering such situations.

Bing Cheng also happened to want to test what level her current combat power was at in the Immortal Realm. With the support of the Zhuxian Sword Art and the Seven Strings Sword Control Art, she didn't see how she could lose.

She summoned the sha mo sword, leaped onto it, and flew on the sword toward the outskirts of the town.

At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the Qi Refinement Stage; the consumption of immortal power for sword flight was clearly visible, and the speed was also incredibly slow.

This was the reason why Bing Cheng had chosen to walk earlier.

"I wonder where I can test the strength of my Immortal Soul. It would be safer to enter an immortal sect; otherwise, I'll be targeted by others every day…"

No matter which world she was in, status was crucial.

Moreover, she had to return to the vicinity of that open-pit mine. He Ruoxi and Bing Ranxue would likely Ascend within a hundred years. She couldn't let them dig in the mines; only by entering an immortal sect could she obtain information about that mine.

An incense stick of time later, Bing Cheng entered the mountain forest, and the old man and a middle-aged Female Immortal followed behind on their swords.

"Fellow Daoist, you've chosen a good burial place for yourself," the old man chuckled.

"Hehehe… Old Man Li, how about you and I join forces to kill this person and split the spoils equally?" the middle-aged Female Immortal giggled.

"That is exactly my intention."

"Angry Flame."

Immortal power surged around Bing Cheng, and a flame curtain one zhang high manifested beside her. Her mouth twitched. In the Cultivation World, her flame curtain could easily reach over a thousand zhang, but here in the Immortal Realm, it was compressed to just one zhang. The nerf was too severe.

Upon seeing the flame curtain, the old man and the middle-aged Female Immortal both changed color.

If people in the Immortal Realm wanted to become immortals, they had to comprehend a type of Power of Dao. The two of them currently only had a Power of Dao with half a zhang of power.

"You were actually playing the pig to eat the tiger!" The middle-aged Female Immortal retreated.

The old man also developed an intention to retreat.

"Playing the pig to eat the tiger? I displayed over ten Immortal Artifacts in front of you; does this count as playing the pig?"

Seeing this situation, Bing Cheng realized she was not among the weakest batch of immortals in the Immortal Realm.

She executed the Seven Steps of Treading Clouds; each step could teleport her a distance of one zhang, and the last step could cover three zhang.

"You even comprehended the Dao of Space?" The old man was shocked.

Ordinary immortals needed to break through to the Earth Immortal stage to teleport; for Profound Immortals, it was only possible if they comprehended the Dao of Space.
