Qianyuan City is a city under the jurisdiction of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
In this world of cultivation, there is no such thing as a nation.
All the cities are managed by cultivators.
Third Rate sects control a small town, like the Fengyun Sect. Medium-sized sects control one or a few small cities. Large sects generally control several or a dozen large or medium-sized cities.
Above the large sects, there are super sects. Super sects do not control cities, but directly control these cultivation sects.
The Heaven and Earth Sect is a medium-sized sect, or at least it can be considered a medium-sized sect.
There is only one Nascent Soul Stage ancestor in the sect.
Qianyuan City was just a small city.
Even though it's a small town, it's still incomparable to Fengyun Town or Heavenly Saber Town.
Putting everything else aside, the population alone reaches over 500,000.
Ling Yi Ling Yi wanted to challenge the Heaven and Earth Sect not only to gain some benefits, but also to test the Limit of his own strength.
He is currently cultivating the Longevity Scripture and has already reached the second Longevity Scripture, the Revive Realm.
Reaching this level, Ling Yi would truly be immortal.
Finally, the Heaven and Earth Sect has a cultivation technique called the Burst Qi Art, which, at the cost of consuming lifespan, can greatly increase one's cultivation level in a short period of time.
The more lifespan is consumed, the more exaggerated the realm one can reach.
In the original storyline, the Protagonist Chen Jing used this Burst Qi Art to trick many people.
After all, who could have imagined that a Qi Refining Stage cultivator could instantly unleash the Combat of a Nascent Soul Stage?
Ling Yi didn't know if this Longevity Spiritual Power could be used to unleash the Burst Qi Art. If it could, then he would have an extra trump card.
Although Ling Yi has never encountered any fatal threats so far, having more trump cards is never a bad thing.
Like most other sects, the Heaven and Earth Sect is composed of an outer sect, an inner sect, and a core group.
Most of those in charge of managing various affairs within Qianyuan City are outer sect disciples.
Only the city lord is an inner disciple.
As for most inner disciples and core disciples, they rarely leave the sect.
They enjoy the sect's highest resources, and their main task is to cultivate and improve their strength.
Inner disciples and core disciples only need to step in occasionally when they encounter problems that they cannot solve.
At the entrance of a shop selling pills in Qianyuan City, Ling Yi looked up and sized it up before slapping the shop's front door.
The shop door was just an ordinary wooden door, and it couldn't withstand Ling Yi's blow. It shattered into a pile of powder, which flew everywhere.
"Who goes there?" A young man at the Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level roared angrily as he ran out of the shop.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, the man angrily retorted, "How dare you! Don't you know this is a business premises of the Heaven and Earth Sect?"
"I know!"
Ling Yi raised his right hand and then pressed it down. A perfectly circular purple array diagram appeared out of thin air; it was the Sealing Array from the Qimen Array.
After sealing and imprisoning it, Ling Yi Ling Yi swaggered into the shop. No matter what kind of pills they were, he collected them all into his Personal Space.
After finishing these tasks, Ling Yi waved his hand to release the seal on the Heaven and Earth Sect disciple and said to him, "You can go and call for help now."
This young man wasn't stupid. He knew that the other person could seal him away with a wave of their hand, and he was definitely no match for this person. So he didn't say anything harsh, but directly opened the communication talisman and sent the message back to the sect.
Ling Yi then walked towards the nearby magic treasure pavilion...
Someone dared to rob Qianyuan City, and in a short period of time, they destroyed the Pill Pavilion, the Magic Treasure Pavilion, and the Talisman Pavilion.
After robbing them, they didn't leave but stood directly on the main street of Qianyuan City, waiting for the arrival of the higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Several hundred outer disciples arrived, but they were all knocked unconscious and lay sprawled on the ground.
Two inner disciples arrived initially, but their fate remained unchanged.
Afterwards, all the inner disciples and core disciples were mobilized, Ling Yi still slapped them one by one, knocking them all unconscious.
After ten years of cultivation, Ling Yi's Thunder Dragon Bloodline has now reached level 15, and the terrifying power it possesses is no joke.
"Fellow Daoist, isn't your attitude a gross underestimation of my Heaven and Earth Sect?"
A figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Ling Yi.
This person is the current sect leader of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and also the Heaven and Earth Sect Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"There's no way around it, after all, it's too tempting to make money without any investment!" Ling Yi smiled nonchalantly.
"With your strength, fellow Daoist, you can simply ask for whatever you need. Why bother dealing with these juniors like this?"
The sect leader wasn't unwilling to take direct action; rather, he lacked confidence.
Although Ling Yi's strength appears to be only at the Qi Refining Stage, and even lower at the first Qi Refining Stage, First Layer.
How could someone at the Qi Refining Stage, First Layer be able to defeat a Golden Core Realm cultivator from a sect so easily?
This person is clearly hiding their strength, or has some unknown methods.
Moreover, he sensed a pure Aura of destruction emanating from Ling Yi. Although he didn't know what it was, he suspected that this was Ling Yi's trump card.
"I don't think you should back down. I'm only at the Qi Refining Stage, and I cultivate the Longevity Scripture, which has the weakest attack power. If you take a gamble, maybe you can defeat me?" Ling Yi urged.
The more Ling Yi acted this way, the less the Heaven and Earth Sect leader dared to make a move.
"Fellow Daoist, my Heaven and Earth Sect admits defeat. Please do not push your luck. My Heaven and Earth Sect is backed by the Haotian Sect. If the Haotian Sect is alarmed, there will be no place for you to hide in the Immortal Cultivation Realm world."
The Haotian Sect may be powerful, but do you really think a Xiaoxiao Heaven and Earth Sect can get the Haotian Sect to intervene? You must be joking.
If they want the Haotian Sect to get involved, he'll have to personally intervene and escalate the situation.
Ling Yi Ling Yi was very disappointed that the Heaven and Earth Sect's leader was so cowardly, so he decided to go for a crazy move.
Ling Yi took away a large number of pills, magic weapons, talismans, various books on alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making from the Heaven and Earth Sect, as well as a small amount of Spirit Stone.
Speaking of Spirit Stone, Ling Yi Ling Yi discovered that these Spirit Stone seemed to be no different from the Spiritual Qi jade stones he had collected in the previous two worlds.
It's simply a matter of the amount of Spiritual Qi stored and the material itself.
It is precisely because of the material that Spiritual Qi jade cannot be preserved for a long time, but Spirit Stone can.
A piece of Spiritual Qi jade has only about one percent of the Spiritual Qi energy of Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Even so, the value of Spiritual Qi jade is still quite high.
The Heaven and Earth Sect, a medium-sized sect, only has thirteen Low-Grade Spirit Stone in its entirety, which shows just how rare Spirit Stone are.
According to the explanation of the Heaven and Earth Sect leader.
Spirit stones can only be formed in places with abundant and stable spiritual energy.
Nowadays, most places rich in Spiritual Qi have become the blessed lands of various Immortal Gate, where the Spiritual Qi fluctuates daily, making it impossible for Spirit Stone to be born.
The only remaining Spirit Stone mines on the market are in the hands of super sects; the Spirit Stone of ordinary sects are just their stockpiles.
In the past, cultivators mostly used Spirit Stone for cultivation. Now, they only dare to consume a portion of Spirit Stone when breaking through to a higher realm.
At best, a more extravagant approach would be to use Spirit Stone to carve a Spirit Gathering Array, which would simply increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi and thus slightly accelerate cultivation.
But, does Spirit Gathering Array still need Spirit Stone?
Ling Yi's Qimen Array includes a Spirit Gathering Array, which seems to be able to be cast without the need for Spirit Stone.
Otherwise, how would the magical Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse concocted by the greedy Protagonist Lin Fan in the " Three Kingdoms' Jia Xu in the City " world work?
Ling Yi tested the Spirit Gathering Array, and the effect was better than expected.
Ling Yi suddenly realized that perhaps the potential of this One Hundred and Eight Qimen Array was far greater than he had imagined.
For the next month, Ling Yi stayed at an inn in Qianyuan City.
He spends his days studying alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making.
This proved to be quite fruitful for Ling Yi Ling Yi, who discovered that these Dharma School could be fully integrated into his own Gang Jin and the One Hundred and Eight Qimen Array.
Take alchemy, for example.
Ling Yi directly used the Li Fire Array, the Spirit Gathering Array, and the Sealing Array, combined with the alchemy Dharma School of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, to refine pills out of thin air without needing a pill furnace.
The talisman techniques used within are surprisingly complementary to most of the Formation Pattern in the One Hundred and Eight Qimen Array.
It is extremely rare to be able to directly increase the power of the Qimen Array by several levels.
A month later, Ling Yi had successfully gained a lot and left seclusion. He then headed to the next medium-sized sect, the Liyang Sect.
The same methods, the same routines, but the results are much smaller.
The main issue is that there aren't many things of value for Ling Yi.
The only valuable items are the Formation and talismans.
The number of Formation and talismans possessed by these small and medium-sized sects is obviously limited.
Over the next year, Ling Yi robbed Xiaoxiao than a dozen small and medium-sized sects in the vicinity.
But ultimately, the results were meager.
To obtain higher-level Formation, talismans, or Dharma School for alchemy and weapon crafting, one would likely have to target large sects, or even super sects.
Over the course of the year, Ling Yi had become somewhat arrogant.
Throughout the past year, he still hasn't encountered an opponent who can make him go all out.
The only one at the Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Level Great Perfection couldn't even break the Qimen Array set up by Ling Yi. In the end, he was trapped by the Qimen Array and almost died.
This gave Ling Yi a rough idea of his own strength. He was invincible within the Nascent Soul Stage, and could probably crush opponents in the Spirit Severing Realm Early Stage. However, in the Spirit Severing Realm Late Stage, Ling Yi could probably only manage a draw at best.
At best, it's Limit -one trade. Anyway, Ling Yi can Revive, Limit -one trade. Let's see who can afford it.
Moreover, Ling Yi had also learned this Burst Qi Art.
When used in combination with the Longevity Scripture, this Burst Qi Art is simply perfect.
The Burst Qi Art consumes nothing other than this Longevity Spiritual Power.
With Ling Yi's current Longevity Spiritual Power Longevity Scripture the Revive Realm of the Longevity Scripture, he should have no problem temporarily boosting himself by three, five, seven, or eight realms using the Burst Qi Art to bully some kids.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Yi became increasingly Wuji in his actions.
Ling Yi's Wuji robbing of various sects finally attracted the attention of a super cultivation sect.
At first, Ling Yi only robbed medium-sized sects like the Heaven and Earth Sect, but Later he robbed all kinds of sects.
Ling Yi traveled westward, robbing any sect he encountered, large or small.
Fortunately, Ling Yi didn't kill them. Apart from a few fools who tried to trap Ling Yi with Formation but were easily defeated and killed by Ling Yi, there were very few other people.
Everyone realized this; as long as they didn't resist, there wouldn't be any safety issues.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the strong are respected, and these sects can only accept it with a heavy heart.
As for resources, you can always earn more if you run out. Besides, most of the resources of these sects have to be handed over to the super sects.
Therefore, only a super sect can deal with Ling Yi.
As Ling Yi collected more and more Formation and talismans, his One Hundred and Eight Qimen Array gradually became more and more powerful.
The Formation Pattern and runes of the talismans became the nourishment for the Qimen Array.
On the contrary, he didn't study alchemy or weapon crafting much. Right now, Ling Yi only had one thought: to collect as many Formation and talismans as possible. He wanted to see what the Qimen Array would eventually become if it continued to be perfected.
On this day, Ling Yi was facing off against a large sect called the Shengyun Sect.
A terrifying Pressure suddenly descended from the sky, and the illusion that even one's soul would be crushed filled Ling Yi with terror. Without thinking, he immediately chose to return to reality.
"That's a bit unethical. Sending a Big Shot at the Mahayana Stage is going too far."
In the past year or so, nearly two years, Ling Yi has bullied Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Severing Stage, confronted Divine Spirit Transformation Realm stage expert. He even managed to fight that Divine Spirit Transformation Realm expert to Fifty-Fifty by relying on his Burst Qi Art and Qimen Array.
In the end, the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm expert who had been causing all the trouble had no choice but to give Ling Yi his sect's complete Formation and Complete Collection of Talismans to avoid further complications.
But the Mahayana Stage is really going too far!
