Changes in Yuanling City

Jade Wave Hot Spring is named as such because its water is turquoise.

Liu Chun tried it; the water was a little hot, but it inexplicably felt very comfortable.

The pool isn't very big, only about ten square meters in area.

The depth is approximately one meter or more.

After confirming that everything was normal, he removed Liu Qin's layers of clothing, leaving only her undergarments, and then gently placed her into the emerald green pool.

Several large stones were laid out along the edge of the pool. Liu Chun had Liu Qin sit on them, with her back against the pool wall, so that only her head was above water.

Not long after Liu Qin was soaked in the water, her originally pale and bluish face visibly flushed slightly.

Gradually, a faint mist began to rise from the top of her head where the talisman was attached.

Liu Chun stayed by her side, keeping a close eye on her condition. He even probed her body with his Spiritual Power and found that there was nothing wrong. Moreover, the spring water had begun to help her body recover its vitality. His heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally relaxed. He slumped down on the edge of the pool and let out a long sigh.

My sister is finally saved.

Looking at Liu Qin, whose eyes were still closed in the pool, Liu Chun was reminded of their deceased parents.

Now his sister is his only family.

I hope she recovers soon, and then I'll take my sister back to the Lingxian Sect, far away from this Immortal Cultivation Realm of cultivation.

After Liu Chun had been gazing at the distant scenery in a daze for a while, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Yuan Bi just said he would have his daughter deliver something, and Liu Chun figured the person coming would probably be Yuan Zhiyun, the young master of the Yuan Household.

Sure enough, a woman's voice came from outside:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I am Yuan Zhiyun. I've come to deliver some supplies to you. Is this a convenient time for you?"

So Liu Chun stood up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and said, "Please come in."

The courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and Yuan Zhiyun walked in carrying a Storage Bag. Seeing that it was indeed Liu Chun, the talisman master from the Talisman Master Assembly, she smiled slightly and handed him the Storage Bag, saying:

"Here are some supplies that my father instructed me to prepare for you. Fellow Daoist Liu, please take a look. If there is anything I have overlooked, please forgive me. If you need anything else, please let me know and I will procure it for you."

Yuan Zhiyun stared intently at him, her eyes seemingly urging him to quickly open it and check if anything was missing.

So Liu Chun had no choice but to look down at the contents of the Storage Bag in his hand in front of her.

He glanced at it, paused for a moment, and then quickly said:

"This... this is too much, young master, I don't need it..."

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Yuan Zhiyun immediately retreated to the door and said:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't be so polite. These are just some basic supplies. As a master talisman maker, this is what you should do. If you need more, tell my father, and I'll send you more."

After saying that, she stepped outside and closed the courtyard gate, shutting Liu Chun's refusal inside.

Looking at the tightly closed courtyard gate, Liu Chun shook his head helplessly.

Never mind, I'll repay this favor later.

He then took out an exquisite talisman-making table from his Storage Bag.

He had only ever seen such a talisman-making platform once, at the home of a talisman master whom the Wu Household had supported with the full resources of the Lineage.

There are also talisman paper and ink of various grades, as well as some basic cultivation supplies.

As for the talisman brush, it wasn't prepared for Liu Chun, presumably because they knew that a talisman master like him would be used to using his own talisman brush.

In addition, there are many nourishing pills and medicinal herbs inside.

It's obvious this was prepared for Liu Qin.

Liu Chun marveled at the Yuan Household's thoughtfulness, noting that they had prepared so many things for him.

They placed the talisman-making platform in the open space between the thatched hut and the hot spring pool.

Although aside from the materials for making talismans and medicinal herbs and pills, the cultivation resources provided were not many, and they were not of particularly high quality.

But these are all resources belonging to the Yuan Household.

Even if a cultivation Lineage in a border town is relatively wealthy, no one can ever have too many Cultivation Resources.

However, some of it was still set aside for him, an outsider.

Liu Chun knew that most of this was actually due to the influence of his sect leader.

Perhaps his status as a talisman master would earn him some respect from others, but it wouldn't warrant such thoroughness.

After all, he didn't come to the Yuan Household as a retainer.

After setting up the talisman-making table and other supplies, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down to begin making talismans.

The sect leader's great kindness is something Liu Chun can never repay in his lifetime; he can only contribute his own strength to the sect.

Now is the time for the sect to build up its strength and develop. Even while accompanying my sister for treatment here, I must do my best to make more talismans for the sect!

In recent days, many outside businesses have withdrawn from Yuanling City.

After all, there are so many cities in the Immortal Cultivation Realm where you can make money, so one remote place won't make a difference.

Many Lineage in the city began searching for new sources of goods.

However, among the many migrants who evacuated, there was only one exception.

That's Myriad Connections Information Shop.

Instead of withdrawing like many businesses, they increased their personnel and financial investment here.

For no other reason than to investigate the matter of the Execution Stone Powder.

First-hand information is always the most valuable.

If they can find out the whereabouts of the Execution Stone Powder before United Heroes Hall does, then all the major sects will have to buy information from them if they want to know about the Execution Stone Powder.

After all, once you control the source of the information, you have more initiative and the means to prevent others from obtaining it.

The people Myriad Connections sent to Yuanling City to spearhead the effort, apart from the leader, who were originally expected to get promoted in this Yuanling City, are now facing a promotion crisis due to the sudden increase in personnel.

After all, in order to seize this crucial first-mover advantage in information about the Execution Stone Powder, the people sent this time were the most capable members of the Southern Spirit Domain branch.

With them around, the original staff at the Myriad Connections Yuanling City branch only had the job of running errands and doing odd jobs.

They might not even get a chance to do any manual labor.

Tong Hua, Liang Zhonghuai, and Yu Guang were then sidelined by the lower-level factions.

They were only allowed to run errands; the three of them were not allowed to get involved in anything important.

Under the cover of night, the three of them were quietly conducting a thorough search of the vast ruins of the Wu Household, trying not to miss any clues.

Although the Wu Household's territory was reduced to ruins, it was still quite large, and many of the well-made houses were mostly preserved and not completely burned down.

At this moment, they were not the only ones here; various other forces were also secretly and carefully gathering clues on their own.

However, everyone basically has their own unique methods of concealment; those without such methods were discovered and expelled by the United Heroes Hall long ago.

At present, on the ruins of the Wu Household, people from several forces have gathered here, yet they do not meet each other.
