Xuanyu City of the Immortal Realm
Ling Wanqing looked at their surroundings; they were located within a vast and strange forest.
Within this forest, many peculiar things seemed to exist.
The boundless Immortal forest stretched to the end of the sea of clouds, with ancient trees thousands of feet tall piercing the sky, their intertwined branches blocking out the sun.
Spiritual mist coiled around the branches and trunks, the leaves shimmering with a glazed light, and as the wind blew, it seemed as if one could hear the sounds of immortals.
Spiritual Plants blossomed everywhere, fallen petals drifted with the mist, beasts trod upon the clouds, and spiritual birds perched on branches; it was endless as far as the eye could see.
Seeing this, Ling Wanqing could say that the existence of this forest alone might be comparable to the entire Southern Region, and perhaps even more.
On the other side, other different sceneries could be seen, but one thing was certain: the scenery here was indeed unique and beautiful.
As expected, the Immortal Realm was truly too vast; the vast majority of people could not walk out of a single region in their entire lives, and the Immortal Realm had countless regions, let alone exploring everything within it.
There were still many undeveloped places in the Immortal Realm, waiting for people to explore.
Ling Wanqing did not yet know where they were in the Immortal Realm or what the situation was like here.
She hid her cultivation at the Peak of the True Immortal Stage; she still could not expose her cultivation too early.
She turned her head to look at Su Yu. "Let's go forward and take a look. There seems to be a huge Immortal city not far ahead; there should be quite a bit of information there."
"Let's go there first and find a place to settle down."
Su Yu nodded. "That's the only way. We don't know what it's like in that city, so we should be careful."
The two then headed in that direction.
"The location where the Taiyin Spirit teleported us is quite good, and no accidents occurred. As expected, this was probably arranged by her."
Su Yu smiled when he saw this. "Probably. We are almost there."
A short while later, the two arrived at this Immortal city; this Immortal city was quite different.
The Immortal city, spanning a thousand miles, stood majestically upon a Spiritual Vein. The walls of Xuanyu City were over a hundred feet high, the city gates were made of thousand-year-old Spiritual Ironwood, Cultivators entered and exited on their artifacts, and Spirit Boats shuttled back and forth in formation in mid-air.
Within the city, pavilions stood in great numbers, with pill workshops, artifact workshops, and Cultivation Technique shops everywhere. The fragrance of pills and the scent of medicine filled the entire city. In the center stood the City Lord's Mansion, with flying eaves and upturned corners hanging with Spiritual Jade bells. When the wind blew, the ringing of the bells caused ripples of Spiritual Qi to scatter. A moat of Spiritual River surrounded the city, with Immortal Willows planted along the banks—it was both imposing and orderly.
This was one of the reasons why Su Yu chose this place; it was very well-developed and there was no turmoil.
It was a very good starting point.
Cultivators here constantly entered and exited, most of whom were at the Soul Transformation or Void Refining Realm.
There were also many at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages. Of course, there were also many Mortals living in this city as well.
It was not that there were no Mortals in the Immortal Realm.
It was just that the Mortals in the Immortal Realm had longer lifespans and stronger physiques; after all, the environment here was different.
The lifespans of the Mortals here could be said to be comparable to Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Lower Realm.
Their physical fitness was also as strong as those who had practiced martial arts for many years.
Influenced by the Immortal Realm, the probability of Mortals here giving birth to offspring with Spiritual Roots was much higher.
The number of Mortals in the Immortal Realm was much greater than in the Lower Realm; after all, the Immortal Realm was too big.
Ling Wanqing looked at some of the scenes in the city. "Let's not use our True Immortal Stage cultivation. I can sense that there is someone at the True Immortal Stage in here."
"It is likely the person managing this city. We should just change our cultivation to the Body Integration Stage; that will be enough. This place might be more remote than we imagined."
This city was very "ordinary."
The two then hid their cultivation at the Body Integration Stage.
Su Yu and his companion arrived at the city and prepared to enter, and the Cultivators guarding the city gate did not make things difficult for them.
It was not difficult to enter this city, and the two successfully entered it.
And this city was named Xuanyu City.
As soon as they entered the city, they could see Mortals carrying Spiritual Rice and hawking their wares, or helping Cultivators tend to their medicinal gardens. There were also old people sitting on doorsteps basking in the warm sun, and children chasing Spiritual birds in play.
Everything was so peaceful and full of the atmosphere of daily life.
This also showed that the management of this city was quite good.
Otherwise, such scenes would not appear.
The two's primary goal now was to figure out where they were.
As well as what forces existed here; it was impossible for there to be only this one city, and whether there were any powerful people.
And the first thing to do now was to find a stable place to stay.
As for the Immortal Realm, they also used Spirit Stones, which were hard currency.
It was just that the Rank of the Spirit Stones was more Advanced than those in the Lower Realm, but the two were not lacking in this.
"Let's find a place to stay first. I think that Restaurant ahead looks good; it should be the best one in this city. We should be able to get a lot of information about this place inside."
After saying this, the two headed in that direction.
As for some of the forces in this city, the two had basically already investigated them; there were six prominent Families in it.
Most of the industries were basically theirs.
Their Families all had Cultivators at the Mahayana Stage. It could be said that in this city, they were rivals who checked and balanced each other, as well as partners in interest.
But obviously, in the eyes of the two, these people were not worth mentioning.
Of course, the two would not look for trouble just to mess with them.
The two arrived at the Restaurant.
The Restaurant was basically filled with Cultivators who were discussing some of the current hot topics.
And where any abnormalities had appeared.
As expected, the Restaurant was a place where a lot of information was spread.
The appearance of the two did not attract the attention of the crowd; they were only at the Body Integration Stage, and it wasn't as if there weren't any here.
It was just that some people were a bit curious about these new faces.
The two first booked a room, then came to the tables.
The two were in no hurry to immediately ask for any information.
Instead, they first listened quietly to some of the information from the crowd to understand the general situation.
After a while, Su Yu drank some wine. "So that's how it is. It's about time we find someone to ask."
Ling Wanqing nodded.
After saying this, Su Yu locked his eyes on a target. This guy had been quite knowledgeable about many things just now.
He seemed to know a little bit about everything.
Moreover, this guy looked like a gossip; at a glance, he was the type who knew a lot of unknown information.
Su Yu picked up his wine cup, walked up to the man, and sat down without hesitation.
Wang Er looked at the man who appeared before him; he had noticed this man just now.
After all, he had the cultivation of the Body Integration Stage.
Moreover, this person was a new face. He knew or had an impression of everyone in the Restaurant; this person should be here for the first time.
"Your Excellency seems to have something to ask me."
Su Yu saw this. "That's right. We want to inquire about some things. Of course, you won't be short of benefits."
Wang Er's eyes lit up. Benefits? Asking him for information was the right choice.
After saying this, Su Yu took out an item of decent value and gave it to Wang Er.
Seeing this, Wang Er's eyes lit up. "What do you want to know?"
