Qu Shuang City.
"Invincible Sect?" The immortal in charge of registration looked at the document in his hand, then at the three people in front of him. Finally, he could not help but ask, "You … really want to start a sect?"
"Yes!"
"Just you two Earth Immortals and a …" The immortal glanced at Shen Ying, who was beside him. He could not tell what her cultivation level was. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with the words, "Are you stupid?".
Although it was not rare to start a sect, they had to hand over at least 200 superior-grade immortal stones every year. This amount of immortal stones was not much to a sect, but to ordinary cultivators, it was a lot of money. That was why only those who had a rich family background or a strong enough backer would do this. What's more, the person who started a sect was usually at least a Mystic Immortal.
Of the people in front of him, two were obviously Earth Immortals who had just ascended. There was still the aura of the Lightning Tribulation on them. The other was not even an Earth Immortal. It was obvious that he had been brought to the upper realm. It was just these three people, yet they wanted to establish a sect. Could it be that they had too many immortal stones, making them feel uncomfortable?
"Are you … sure?" he asked again.
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He forced himself to nod again. "Yes!" He took out a bag of superior-grade immortal stones and handed it over. "Thank you, Fellow Immortal."
The immortal took the immortal stones and looked at them as if they were idiots. Then, he picked up the completed document, conjured a seal, and muttered something. With a shake of the paper, the lines of words immediately flew up from the paper and directly into a huge immortal wall behind him, disappearing into it. Then, a light flashed and the name "Invincible Sect" appeared on the stone wall. It was the same as the names of the other immortal abodes, occupying a small space.
"Alright, remember to come once a year," the immortal reminded them. Then, he added, "If you run out of immortal stones, you can come and cancel it at any time."
"Thank you." Lonemoon bowed politely. Then, he pulled Shen Ying and Yi Qing out of the door.
This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he was facing a financial crisis. He had thought that the Qing Tong Immortal Abode would be able to support so many immortals. But when he dug underground, he found out that Xun Li was just a pauper.
All the immortal stones in the Immortal Mansion's secret vault added up to less than a thousand immortal stones, which was only enough to pay taxes for two years. They did not know how Xun Li, the Prefecture Master, had managed to secure his position in the Upper Realm. Most likely, all of his immortal stones were spent on nurturing his immortal meridians.
Lonemoon felt a slight headache. Although there were many people in the Upper Realm this time, they were all level-zero smurfs. No one had the skills to earn money. Even the priceless spirit herbs in the sect were nothing in front of the Immortal World filled with immortal herbs. He had hoped that Bitao, an Alchemy Immortal, would be of some use. In the end, he found out that his pill-concocting skills could only be considered entry-level in the Celestial World. Only the disciples in the sect could eat the pills that were slightly effective. Forget about selling them for immortal stones, even if he gave them away for free, no one would want them.
It was urgent. He had to find a way to earn money! He looked around. Even though Qu Shuang City was just a small celestial city, it covered a vast area. It was several times larger than the cities of the aristocratic families in the Lower Bound. As long as he looked carefully, he would definitely be able to find a business opportunity.
"Let's split up here!" He casually scanned the streets, then turned to the person beside him and made arrangements. "Yi Qing, you're more familiar with refining weapons. Go and find out about the situation of the immortal weapons here, as well as the prices of some materials, the sales model and so on."
"Mm." Yi Qing nodded.
"Leave the rest to me. Later, we'll compare and see which one is more profitable. We'll gather in front of the city gates in two hours. Shen Ying will follow … "
Lonemoon subconsciously turned to look, only to find that there was no one beside him. There was a huge empty space in the middle. The person who had been following him a moment ago had disappeared.
"Eh, where is she?!"
Yi Qing: "…"
Holy shit! How did that person with a poor sense of direction suddenly disappear between the two of them?
— — —
In a dark alley three streets away.
More than ten men in black were squatting in the corner of the alley, avoiding the crowd. The leader of the group instructed in a low voice, "When the sky turns dark, we'll act according to plan. Remember, our goal is to find someone. Once we find her, we'll leave immediately. "
Everyone nodded.
"The City Lord's Abode is heavily guarded. This is a map. Remember the location you're searching for." The man's palm moved. Instantly, a virtual image of a map appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and paused in front of everyone. "Listen to my signal. Do you remember?"
"I don't!" Shen Ying raised a hand weakly.
The man was stunned. He turned and glared at her. He moved the map closer to her and said unhappily, "You can't even remember this. Look carefully and remember! Who on earth pulled you into this operation? "
"You pulled me here!" She looked at the black clothes she was wearing. Just now at the door, he was the one who pulled her away.
The man was stunned. He glanced at her, as if trying to remember when he had met such a person. But he couldn't remember. He didn't mind. He pointed to a spot on the map and said, "Here, you go in from here. The person should be in the side courtyard. Don't go to the main courtyard. The people there are not people we Earth Immortals can handle. "
"Oh …" She nodded. And then?
"Remember, don't alert anyone." The man repeated. "After you find the person, retreat. Everyone, meet at the Black Forest outside the city. There will be people there to receive you."
"Yes!" Everyone replied in a low voice.
The leader looked at the darkening sky and said, "Time's up!" Then he conjured a seal with both hands. In a short while, a teleportation array appeared under everyone's feet.
The scenery in front of them flashed. In the next moment, they appeared in a courtyard. The leader gave each of them an immortal talisman. "This can hide your aura. Those below the Stygian Immortal level will not be able to detect you. Let's go!"
Everyone nodded, and their figures flashed as they disappeared on the spot.
Shen Ying: "…" Who exactly are we looking for? Should I cooperate with them first?
She looked around blankly and randomly chose a direction. Just as she was about to leave, someone pulled her back.
"Wait, come back!" The leader pulled her back and pointed to the right. "You're this way. What's going on? Didn't you look at the map several times? Remember, don't alert anyone! "
"Er, actually I'm not …" I'm not one of you? Shen Ying was about to explain.
The man's expression suddenly changed. He interrupted her and said, "Someone's coming. Stick the talisman and leave!" With that said, his figure flashed and disappeared.
Shen Ying: "…"
She could vaguely see the flames of Father Niu's anger!
She looked down at the black clothes she was wearing. She seriously thought about wearing something brighter next time. That would make her look less like the work clothes of a criminal gang.
Of course, the most important thing now was — where was this?
What happened to the gang? Did they just take people but not bring them along?
Shen Ying sighed and turned to walk out of the arched door on the left. Forget it, I'll look for them myself. Hopefully Father Niu would not deduct her food expenses. She thought about what that group of people said just now. It seemed that as long as she did not alert …
"Who are you?" Just as she stepped through the door, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
With a swoosh, dozens of swords made of Immortal Qi stabbed into the ground in front of her.
Shen Ying: "…"
In the next moment, she picked up the talisman in her hand and pressed it on her chest.
The newcomer: "…"
Sticking an Aura-Concealing Talisman now? Do you think I'm blind?!
