Could We Do Without This Kind of Immortality?
Gu Yuanqing had many questions, but he suppressed them and bowed, saying, "I thank Miss Feng'er very much."
Xiang Feng'er entered the carriage.
The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage turned around.
Before leaving, Xiang Feng'er leaned out of the carriage window and said, "Feng'er forgot to remind you, sir, that although with this Token, the people of the city should no longer offend you, it would be best if you temporarily refrained from Full Moon Night." She paused, then added, "If they accidentally offend you, please don't make things difficult for them. Of course, if you can kill them, please don't hesitate."
"?"
Gu Yuanqing was filled with questions.
Xiang Feng'er smiled sweetly, "Actually, what I hope for most is that one day you will be able to kill me."
As soon as the words were spoken, the tall, Yin Horse pulled the vehicle away, and the large area returned to normal.
Gu Yuanqing watched the carriage leave. This Xiang Feng'er was clearly no ordinary person. At least, she was the only one he had seen in the city who looked exactly the same as she did during the day.
He looked down at the Token in his hand.
"Nether Artifact?"
The Token has Formation on it, the technique of which seems to be exactly the same as the Formation on the city wall, and the aura on it is obviously very similar to the aura of the Underworld.
"This Token should be a good thing, but it seems there's something else involved. My best option right now is to avoid it."
Gu Yuanqing dispersed the Spatial Dao Charm surrounding his body, revealing his figure.
But the aura emanating from the Token instantly enveloped an area of about One Zhang in radius, and the surrounding ghosts glanced at it in fear and quickly moved away.
Just then, he suddenly felt another gaze upon him. Following the gaze, he saw a middle-aged Cultivator in White-Clad sitting by the window of the restaurant, looking at him.
The restaurant was in complete chaos, but he sat alone by the window, calmly observing everything, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding ghosts.
"Celestial Person!"
Gu Yuanqing immediately recognized the difference between the Pure Yang Aura of Celestial Person who had experienced Tribulation Lightning and that of Void Heaven Cultivator.
Gu Yuanqing had fought against the Celestial Person many times, and even though this person was trying to conceal his identity, he could not escape Gu Yuanqing's senses.
When the man saw Gu Yuanqing looking at him, he raised his wine cup slightly in acknowledgment, then covered his mouth with his sleeve and tilted his head back to lower his chin.
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly in response.
Then Gu Yuanqing seemed to sense someone spying on him, but when he looked over, the person had already withdrawn their gaze and Divine Sense, and disappeared without a trace.
He shook his head. With so many experts in a single city, the Ancient Realm was indeed a place of great power and influence.
These people are usually hidden in the city and are difficult to detect, but on the Full Moon Night, the chaos becomes obvious.
In contrast to the Void Heaven Cultivator were cursing and swearing, these hidden true experts appeared completely calm. The reason they looked at Gu Yuanqing was simply because of the City Lord's daughter who had just appeared.
Not wanting to be spied on, Gu Yuanqing once again concealed himself, using his movement technique to return to the inn in a short time.
Just as he was about to open his own room, Mei Lisan's door next door opened a crack, and someone hiding behind the door asked in a low voice, "Daoist Friend, did you shake them off?"
Seeing his cautious demeanor, Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "You shook him off."
Mei Lisan breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door open wider, and said, "These city guards can all enter the inn. The Array Formation in the rooms can't stop them. Even if we have our Waist Token, if we anger them, they won't care. Although most of them are only at the Divine Platform level and can't hurt us, we dare not kill them, for fear that things will escalate and we'll have no choice but to retreat to the Ancient Realm and return to our Physical Body. Then all those city entry taxes will have been paid for nothing, and our Divine Soul will have been wasted. We won't be able to come back for another ten days or half a month."
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Daoist Friend, would you like to sit in my room for a while? I originally wanted to chat with Daoist Friend more, but we've been delayed for a whole day, and we haven't had much time to talk."
Mei Lisan looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "Daoist Friend, it's not that I, Mei Lisan, don't want to help you, but you've gotten yourself into big trouble this time. I'm just a Rogue Cultivator; I can't fight city hall. I dare not interfere."
Gu Yuanqing said, "You mean the Sanyang Sect..."
Mei Lisan hurriedly released his Void Heaven Domain, a force that obscured the surroundings. With a bitter expression, he said, "Daoist Friend, could you please stop using those words so often? They're going to kill someone."
Gu Yuanqing frowned. "Surely not. You're Void Heaven Cultivator too. Even if the Sanyang Sect is powerful, they wouldn't take someone's life just for mentioning it a few times, would they?"
Mei Lisan looked around nervously, pleading pitifully, "Daoist Friend Gu, I beg you, no, Master Gu, you're the master, aren't you afraid of them? I still want to live a little longer."
Gu Yuanqing was about to speak again.
Mei Lisan quickly stopped him, saying, "Come inside and tell me what you want to know. I will tell you everything I know, but I only ask one thing: after today, you must never say that you know me. We met by chance, and after today, we will forget each other in the Martial World."
Gu Yuanqing felt that Mei Lisan was being overly cautious.
Their conversation was conducted telepathically, and with the surrounding area protected by a domain barrier, even Celestial Person wouldn't be able to know what they were saying.
"Alright, let's talk inside."
Gu Yuanqing entered the room, and Mei Lisan followed. They then closed the door and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief once the Array Formation inside the room was activated.
He sat at the table, picked up the gourd, and gulped down several large mouthfuls to calm his nerves.
He then looked at Gu Yuanqing, offered him the gourd with an embarrassed smile, and said, "Daoist Friend, would you like a bite?"
Gu Yuanqing glanced at the drool on the gourd's mouth and said indifferently, "No need, I'll just drink water."
As he spoke, he glanced at the teapot and teacups in the room, but did not use them.
Enveloped by the Void Heaven Domain, a ball of light condensed and transformed into a teacup in his hand. Dew appeared out of thin air within the cup, and Gu Yuanqing brought it to his lips and took a small sip.
Mei Lisan sighed, "Creating something from nothing, transforming things with the Dao, Daoist Friend is indeed proficient in the Dao of the Five Elements. What excellent skills! No wonder even the True Disciple of the Sanyang Sect are no match for you."
Gu Yuanqing said, "Daoist Friend seems to have some reservations about the Sanyang Sect..."
"A little afraid? Yes, you're right. Among the Rogue Cultivator in this Exquisite World, how many are not afraid of the Sanyang Sect? Void Heaven Cultivator are naturally great experts to Ordinary Person, but to the Sanyang Sect, they're nothing but dust. Especially for Rogue Cultivator like us, if someone is unhappy, they can just kill us and that's it. Who else would care?"
Mei Lisan sneered, then downed another mouthful of wine before saying, "Seven hundred years ago, a friend of mine was robbed of fortuitous opportunity by a True Disciple the Sanyang Sect in the Ancient Realm. Not only was he killed and his cultivation destroyed, but his Lineage, which had been passed down for over a thousand years, was also wiped out. All those above the Dao Embryo Exquisite World were captured and taken away. Later, I learned from another Daoist Friend that these people were either forced into hard labor or thrown to the edge of the Boundary Domain as cannon fodder."
A hint of sorrow flashed in Mei Lisan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, looking at Gu Yuanqing with a half-smile, and said, "What are your thoughts on this ordeal, Daoist Friend?"
"Please accept my condolences!" Gu Yuanqing said softly.
"Yes, what can we do besides grieve? Centuries have passed, and my friend's enemy is said to have achieved the status of Celestial Person. This is the difference between powerful forces and Rogue Cultivator. They can traverse the path to heaven, but we cannot."
The room was quiet, and Gu Yuanqing didn't know what to say about the situation.
Mei Lisan took another sip of wine, putting all his thoughts aside, and said with a grin, "Forget it, let's not dwell on those trivial matters from hundreds of years ago; it'll spoil the mood. If Daoist Friend want to know something, feel free to tell me. The Ancient Realm is too vast; even though I've been in there for hundreds of years, I wouldn't dare say I know much."
Gu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, then took out the Token for Xiang Feng'er.
"Daoist Friend, do you know what the uses of this Token are?"
Mei Lisan didn't pay much attention at first, still wondering where Gu Yuanqing had gotten a Token since he just entered the Ancient Realm.
But when his gaze actually fell upon it, he froze for a moment.
He then sat up straight and stared wide-eyed at Gu Yuanqing.
"Daoist Friend, where did this come from?"
"Someone gave it to me."
"A gift? Who's so generous? Do you even know what kind of token this is?"
"What do you think? If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be asking you," Gu Yuanqing said.
Mei Lisan examined the Token closely, barely able to contain Mei Lisan excitement. "Brother Gu, Uncle Gu, you've struck it rich!"
Gu Yuanqing was both amused and exasperated. "Don't exaggerate like that, it's just a Token."
Mei Lisan glared and said, "You call this just a Token? Do you know what it is? This is the Wuyi City Consecration Token, the VIP Token. With this, you can enter Wuyi City at any time without paying any fees."
With this Token, you can enjoy an 80% discount at any shop in Wuyi City, and even in other cities of the Great Wei, you can enjoy a 90% discount.
Gu Yuanqing asked in surprise, "It has this use?"
"This token is also known as the Heavenly Human Token among Cultivator Outer Realm the sect. It is said that only Celestial Person are qualified to obtain this Token."
At this point, Mei Lisan couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuanqing suspiciously a few times.
"Could it be that Daoist Friend is Celestial Person, pretending to be weak while secretly enjoying the foolishness of me?"
Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Do I look like Celestial Person to you?"
Mei Lisan hesitated.
His aura is unlike anyone else's, and his demeanor is also unlike anyone else's, but his willingness to provoke the Sanyang Sect is somewhat plausible, and possessing this Token makes him even more so.
Wuyi City.
Both its length and width exceed a thousand miles.
It can be described as a first-rate large city.
At this moment, under the Full Moon, Yin Qi filled the entire city.
Countless spirits were awakened by the shock, saw reality clearly, and went into a frenzy of crying and laughing.
Amidst the wailing and howling of ghosts, battle raged everywhere, and the entire city was in complete chaos.
A vengeful spirit, its mind consumed by murderous intent and resentment, was wantonly destroying everything in the city.
The streets and alleys were littered with the remains of Decay Dao corpses.
In the center of the city, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiang Feng'er stood in the courtyard, bowed gracefully towards the house, and said, "Greetings, Father."
"The things have been delivered?" came an aged voice from inside the house.
"His daughter was personally handed over to him."
Xiang Feng'er paused for a moment and then said, "Father, this person's cultivation seems to be only at the Void Heaven Realm. Although he seems to be somewhat different from other Void Heaven Realm cultivators, isn't it a bit too early to give him the Consecration Token now?"
The aged voice rang out again. "You need not ask further about this matter; I have my own considerations."
"Yes, daughter understands."
"The Sun and Moon. Is there chaos outside the manor again?"
Xiang Feng'er turned to look outside, her expression complicated, and said, "Yes, it's gotten chaotic again. Should we make them all stop?"
The aged voice sighed, "Fine, let them vent. Anyone who has endured such torment over countless years would eventually give up."
Xiang Feng'er remained silent. Every time they woke up, it was as if they were being confronted with a reality they didn't want to face, especially for Ordinary Person them. Who could accept that?
The voice from inside the house said, "When the sun rises tomorrow, they will have forgotten everything from the past. It's just that you've suffered, Feng'er."
Xiang Feng'er said, "How can you not want such Deathlessness?"
The aged voice sighed softly, "Who has the right to choose?"
Silence fell over the City Lord's Mansion Xiang Feng'er returned to her boudoir.
Hanzhu, the personal maid, sat there, taking her head down and carefully combing it with a comb. When she saw Xiang Feng'er, she said nervously, "Miss is back. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Xiang Feng'er was already used to it and said, "Sister, take your time."
The maid was combing her hair, but she found that with each stroke, a lot of hair fell out. Gradually, all her hair fell out, and her head became completely bald.
Her eyes flashed red, and she gradually became frantic, her movements growing more and more violent. "Why? Why?"
She raised her head and stared at Xiang Feng'er, tears of blood streaming down her face, her expression crazed. "Miss, why has all my hair fallen out?"
Xiang Feng'er said, "It will be fine tomorrow."
"Daoist Friend Gu, to put it another way, you don't need to do anything. As long as you're willing to help some Fellow Cultivator buy things from the shop, just by collecting commissions, it won't be long before you're rolling in money."
"Do you know why everyone tries to find bargains outside and rarely goes to stores? There are plenty of good things in stores, but they're just too expensive, and people are too afraid to buy them."
Gu Yuanqing examined the Token in his hand, surprised by its many benefits. However, Gu Yuanqing had no plans for the time being. The Ancient Coin were quite useful; aside from other things, their ability to purchase Ancient Artifact alone was extremely useful.
These Ancient Artifact would be of great use to many people, but they held little appeal for Gu Yuanqing, and that was not what he sought.
Gu Yuan said, "If Daoist Friend wants to buy anything, I can go to the shop for you and buy it for you. I won't charge you anything; consider it a token of my gratitude for your help. Also, I'd like to ask you about two places."
Mei Lisan glanced at the Token with some interest, but ultimately refrained and shook his head, saying, "Never mind, I only wish to stay away from Daoist Friend. There are some troubles I dare not provoke. Which two places would Daoist Friend like to inquire about?"
Gu Yuanqing said, "The Ancient Realm Platform and the Boundless River."
Mei Lisan raised his head. "Daoist Friend, do you intend to fish out Dao Soul to Void Heaven?"
Gu Yuanqing didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "That's right, this is what truly attracts me to the Ancient Realm."
