Chapter 111 True Person Biyue
The location where the Core Formation Ceremony was held was the stronghold of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.
[A second-tier spiritual vein training ground]
Normally, a second-tier spiritual vein dojo might only see a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators coming and going on a regular basis.
However, today, because of you, many True Immortals have personally arrived, making this second-tier spiritual vein shine brightly.
[At the very top of the main hall, you sit in the head seat, flanked by four Core Formation cultivators.]
[They are Palace Master Mu, True Person Jianxin, True Person Hanyu, and True Person Xuangui from the Pill Hall of Azure Moon Immortal City.]
Below are numerous Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, representing various major forces. Congratulations on achieving the Golden Core stage!
[Congratulatory gifts kept arriving]
"The Zhao family of Tengshan presents a five-hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng to congratulate True Man Qingyuan on attaining the Golden Elixir..."
。」】
"The Black Serpent Merchant Guild presents three pieces of second-tier spiritual materials to congratulate True Person Qingyuan on attaining the Golden Core Dao."
'
]
"The Plum Blossom Merchant Guild presents a second-tier divination technique to congratulate True Immortal Qingyuan on attaining the Golden Core Dao..."
You don't recognize most of the cultivators or factions who come to offer their congratulations; you only glance at them when you hear about a particularly appealing gift.
[For example, just now, the merchant guild called "Plum Blossom" sent a congratulatory gift of a second-tier divination technique; you were quite interested in it.]
Divination is an extremely niche art, offering almost no benefit to cultivation in the early stages. Furthermore, it heavily relies on talent and lifespan, naturally resulting in few cultivators studying it, and related lineages are also rare.
Cultivators seek immortality for the sake of longevity and long life.
[Is it true that delving into divination can easily deplete one's lifespan?]
Who would want that?
Therefore, the second-tier divination inheritance offered by the Plum Blossom Merchant Guild has greatly appealed to you.
"The Plum Blossom Merchant Guild?"
You secretly made a note of this chamber of commerce.
The sound of congratulatory gifts continued.
The Ouyang family of Wushan Market presents a three-tiered alchemy furnace to congratulate True Immortal Qingyuan on attaining the Golden Elixir Dao and achieving longevity...
'
]
Ouyang Shen, accompanied by a young man, came to offer his congratulations with utmost respect, while simultaneously mustering his courage to look up at the high platform.
"A third-tier alchemy furnace?"
[You glanced at Ouyang Shen too much; even after becoming a third-tier alchemist, you're still using a second-tier alchemy furnace.]
[To refine a third-tier pill using a second-tier alchemy furnace depends entirely on your superb alchemy skills.]
【"good."】
You nodded towards Ouyang Shen from afar.
[You haven't forgotten this ward master of Wushan Market, have you? We've dealt with each other many times.]
This excited Ouyang Shen. Not long ago, he had been waiting for news that you had allowed the Chamber of Commerce to set up shop in the market, and he was quite upset, wondering if you had "taken advantage" of him.
Those six beautiful female cultivators, skilled in dual cultivation techniques, were trained with considerable effort by the Ouyang family.
[And then you took advantage of me and just left...]
However, when Ouyang Shen learned that you had become a True Person and held a Core Formation Ceremony, he was filled with remorse, feeling that he hadn't let you enjoy enough beautiful female cultivators back then.
That's why I went to great lengths to purchase a third-tier alchemy furnace as a congratulatory gift for you.
Now that he has received your nod of approval, Ouyang Shen immediately felt that you had not forgotten the Ouyang family, and he felt extremely satisfied.
The area below the main hall was bustling with activity.
You sit on the main seat on the high platform, overlooking the entire hall of cultivators.
For some reason, the image suddenly flashed into your mind: in the third simulation, the Seven Fiends True Monarch swallowed up an entire city of cultivators in one gulp.
"My reputation is ultimately inferior to that of the Jade Moon Immortal..."
..」】
You sighed inwardly. There were only a few thousand cultivators gathered below the main hall, a far cry from the millions of cultivators that Biyue Immortal City had at its peak.
[Of course, as you also know, the reason why so many cultivators gather in Biyue Immortal City is twofold: firstly, the reputation that True Person Biyue has accumulated over three hundred years, and secondly, the allure of numerous breakthrough items at the super-large auction house.]
What you're holding now is merely a Core Formation celebration; naturally, there's not much to compare between the two events.
[If you were to cultivate a reputation over several centuries, with your status as a third-tier alchemist and a third-tier talisman master, you would likely not be any worse off than True Person Biyue.]
[Just then—]
Another congratulatory message rang out.
[“Azure Moon Immortal City, Azure Moon Immortal presents a magical treasure to congratulate Azure Yuan Immortal on attaining the Golden Core Dao…”]
[The words had barely left his mouth]
A quasi-third-tier dragon-type demonic beast, over twenty zhang long, slowly pulled a silver-white carriage.
"The Jade Moon Immortal?"
Your expression turned slightly serious. Although you already knew that revealing your lineage of the Mountain and Sea Sect would attract the attention of this Demonic Path Master, you were still aware of this.
But unexpectedly, the other party would participate in my Core Formation celebration.
Of course, you only tensed up slightly; you didn't show any signs of fear.
[Things are different now. You are a Golden Core cultivator and possess the talent to be the natural enemy of demonic cultivators. If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will be afraid of whom.]
At this point in time, True Person Biyue has not yet reached the late-stage Great True Person realm.
Furthermore, you don't believe that Master Biyue would dare to make a move.
As a true master of the demonic path, the more times one makes a move, the easier it is to expose a weakness.
[In this regard, we can see some clues from the fact that in the third simulation, True Person Biyue did not hesitate to expose the strength of a Grand True Person and forcibly suppressed True Person Xuehai with her late-stage magic power.]
[Directly suppress with cultivation level, aiming to annihilate the Blood Sea in the shortest possible time]
Although you don't know why Master Biyue is able to conceal her demonic power, there must be many limitations preventing her from easily making a move.
Since the opening of Azure Moon Immortal City, Azure Moon Immortal has rarely left the city, which also supports this speculation.
"Why is the city lord here too?"
Hall Master Mu was slightly taken aback. As the Deputy Hall Master of the Pill Hall in Azure Moon Immortal City, he was naturally acquainted with True Person Azure Moon.
"The Jade Moon Immortal?"
Sword Heart Master raised an eyebrow. As a fellow True Person of the Taiyuan Domain, he had naturally come into contact with True Person Biyue and had developed a rather favorable impression of her.
[The goodwill here is purely appreciative, without any other implications. True Immortal Biyue opened up the Immortal City and stood up for countless rogue cultivators in the Taiyuan Domain. Such actions were thankless and arduous.]
Kenshin Master naturally held him in high esteem, after all, he certainly wouldn't have done it if he were in his shoes.
[Sacrificing oneself for others? And not asking for anything in return?]
Kenshin himself believed he couldn't do it.
"The Jade Moon Immortal."
Since a real person has come to offer their congratulations, you should naturally rise to greet them.
[Not only you, but also the four True Immortals, including Sword Heart Master and Palace Master Mu, all stood up.]
[True Master Biyue is not only the lord of Biyue Immortal City, but also a Golden Core cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation.]
The silver-white carriage stopped, and a slender, long right hand reached out and gently lifted the gauze curtain, revealing a female cultivator dressed in a white dress with her face veiled by a cloud-like veil.
The white gauze skirt fluttered, subtly outlining her full curves, and a silver hairpin was tucked into her hair, exuding a sense of sacred purity and compassion.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Qingyuan."
[The voice of the Jade Moon Immortal is as gentle as a hot spring, thanking you.]
"City Lord, do you know Fellow Daoist Qingyuan?" Palace Master Mu asked curiously from the side.
He knew his city lord quite well; he wouldn't leave the Immortal City unless it was something very important.
[A Core Formation celebration? In the past few hundred years, the Taiyuan Domain has produced many Core Formation cultivators, but True Person Biyue has only sent a messenger to participate in the celebration.]
"I have some connection with the Mountain and Sea lineage... I heard that True Person Qingyuan cultivates the Mountain and Sea lineage's heritage, so I came to take a look."
Beneath the veil covering Biyue Zhenren's face, a hint of pink lips could be faintly seen.
【"I see."】
Palace Master Mu nodded slightly.
"What connection does the Immortal Biyue have with the Mountain and Sea lineage?"
[You should ask questions at the appropriate time]
You naturally understand the purpose behind Master Biyue's words.
[It's nothing more than a test to see if I have any connection with the Mountain and Sea Sect from hundreds of years ago.]
The Mountain and Sea Sect originated from the ancient Mountain and Sea lineage, but the ancient Mountain and Sea lineage was not the Mountain and Sea Sect.
These are not the same concept.
The ancient Mountain and Sea lineage was quite prominent even in ancient times, and many cultivators in recent times have obtained some Mountain and Sea inheritances from the ruins of the lineage.
The Azure Moon Immortal gazed at you for a moment with eyes as clear as autumn water, and finally smiled and said, "It's all in the past, no need to mention it again."
"
]
"Please take a seat, real person."
[You're also looking at Master Biyue]
[The Azure Moon Immortal has come from the Immortal City to test you.]
Don't you also want to know more about Master Biyue?
After all, if you're after the Heavenly Infant Fruit that True Person Biyue will obtain a hundred years from now, you'll inevitably need to win over this female cultivator.
Therefore, the more you understand the other person, the better.
[But relying solely on outside intelligence? How can that compare to seeing Master Biyue in person?]
[The Azure Moon Immortal took his seat, and on the high platform of the main hall were five other Immortals.]
"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, your connections are truly extensive. To have so many True Immortals come to congratulate you on your initial entry into the Core Formation stage, including True Immortal Biyue..."
..」】
[Master Xuangui did not express his opinion throughout the entire process. There was no other way; of the five masters present, he was the only one with a fake core.]
"I've heard that things have been rather unsettled deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range lately. Those powerful demons... even demon kings..." Master Hanyu began, looking at Master Jianxin, and inquired.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range stretches across several vast regions and is teeming with countless demonic beasts.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range within the Taiyuan Domain is guarded by the five major sects on a rotating basis every hundred years.
[This past century has been the period when the Golden Sword Sect guarded the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to prevent the demonic beasts within from breaking out and causing widespread destruction.]
"It's alright. Our sect leader is personally overseeing the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range recently; those beasts won't be able to escape."
[Kenshin Master said calmly]
The Golden Sword Sect is a sword-cultivation sect, specializing in offensive combat.
The sect leader of the Golden Sword Sect, with a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, possesses the power for direct combat, approaching that of a late-stage Grand True Person.
With the Golden Sword Sect Master guarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it's practically as stable as Mount Tai unless a Demon King intervenes.
[The Demon King is comparable to a Nascent Soul True Monarch]
[Deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, there are confirmed traces of a fourth-tier demon king.]
"The Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Your heart skipped a beat.
[In the third simulation, you obtained information related to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.]
Decades later, a third-tier great demon will emerge from the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Could this be related to this matter?
[Or perhaps, some kind of change occurred deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, causing a third-tier great demon to escape?]
[Once you reach the True Person level, what you see and hear far surpasses what you experienced during the Foundation Establishment stage. You can access a wealth of hidden information simply by chatting casually with other True Persons.]
[For example, the information about the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, even if the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce had done its best to investigate, would not have been as valuable as what Sword Heart Master casually revealed.]
While you listened to the casual conversation of the other immortals, you kept an eye on Immortal Biyue.
Compared to Master Jianxin and Master Hanyu, Master Biyue only spoke occasionally, exuding a sense of tranquility.
[Like a blooming white lotus]
"Judging by the time, that Dark Heaven Demon Lord of the Nine Nether Domain only has a hundred years left to live. The Nine Nether Demonic Sect is about to enter its bloodiest phase. I wonder what will happen to those Demonic Sect Masters..."
[Kenxin Zhenren said with schadenfreude]
【"really."】
Master Hanyu nodded slightly.
The succession method of the True Lord of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect is similar to raising Gu poison.
[All the immortals under the age of four hundred will be thrown into a secret realm.]
Within the secret realm lie numerous precious resources, including but not limited to items that facilitate the formation of Infant Spirits.
All the true members of the Demonic Cult have only one mission within the secret realm: to fight relentlessly.
[Until a new demon lord is born]
[And thus inherit everything from the old demon lord]
While listening, secretly observe Bi Yue Zhenren's reaction.
Based on the information from the third simulation, True Person Biyue should also be a demonic cultivator from the Nine Netherworld.
[Princess Biyue listened quietly, her expression unchanged.]
[Several days later, the Core Formation Ceremony concluded.]
[Master Biyue and Master Hanyu depart one after another]
"Fellow Daoist Qingyuan." Palace Master Mu seemed quite friendly towards you, and before leaving, he made a promise with you, "Let's exchange ideas on alchemy sometime."
You naturally nodded in agreement.
Palace Master Mu is also a third-tier alchemist, and a senior third-tier alchemist at that.
Exchanging ideas with him will also enhance your alchemical skills.
After all the cultivators had left, you began to organize the congratulatory gifts.
[At this Core Formation celebration, putting everything else aside, you'll receive so many gifts that your hands will be sore from receiving them all.]
[Many of the gifts are ones you're interested in, such as the second-tier divination inheritance.]
"A third-tier alchemy furnace?"
You picked up the third-tier alchemy furnace presented by the Ouyang family, feeling quite satisfied.
"Plum Blossom Divination"...
[You took out that second-tier divination technique, studied it briefly, and found that you benefited greatly from it.]
"The diviner who left behind this 'Plum Blossom Divination' technique must have possessed divination skills at the upper level of the second rank. How much time or how many lifespans would that have taken?"
You sighed inwardly and continued examining the gifts.
Until it was the turn of a white jade box.
This white jade box was presented by the Immortal Biyue, and naturally, it contains that magical treasure.
[A magical artifact, a weapon belonging to a Core Formation cultivator, possessing terrifying power.]
You open the white jade box and find a magical artifact shaped like a curved blade inside.
[Just by watching, one can feel an extremely sharp aura spreading out, as if it could cut through everything.]
"An offensive magic weapon, not bad."
You nodded slightly, planning to resell it to another real person after a while.
You will not use anything you obtained from Master Biyue, as she has no trust in you whatsoever.
【"Um?"】
You discover that inside the white jade box, there is another piece of jade.
A gentle touch on the jade produced a sound as soft as a hot spring rinsing its surface.
"Are you inviting me to Azure Moon Immortal City for a chat?"
"You heard the message from Master Biyue."
[A cold laugh inwardly]
He immediately crushed the jade stone.
You will not be allowed to enter Azure Moon Immortal City unless you reach the Nascent Soul stage.
