Qin Di followed the old man into the dilapidated Daoist temple. He looked up and saw a few holes in the roof. He couldn't help but ask, "Has the Tiangang Sect been in decline for a long time?"
The old man shook his head. "It's only been a thousand years. The holes on the roof were damaged by someone! Someone forced their way in and destroyed the palaces in order to force us away so that they can occupy our territory. "
"Was this really done by Lingxiao Hall? As an orthodox sect, don't tell me they don't want any face? "
"What's so strange about that? There were originally three sects in Zhuolu City, but now all of them have disappeared. The entire city is under Lingxiao Hall's control. They occupied Zhuolu City, so they control half of Zhuolu City. More than half of the people entering and exiting Zhuolu City have to pass through here. "
The two of them sat down in the hall. The old man took out a jade slip and began to use his divine sense to draw the immortal artifact of the Astral Steps. After a while, he finished drawing and handed it to Qin Di. "Here, it looks like this."
Qin Di scanned it with his divine sense and pondered for a while. "It looks a little difficult, but it can be overcome. However, refining this thing will take a lot of time. I'm worried that someone will come and cause trouble. "Old man, since the Lingxiao Palace wants this place, why don't you give it to them since you can't do anything about it?" Does your sect have other disciples? If you can't find a place to stay, I'll help you find a treasured land with rich spirit veins in the Eastern Continent. How about it? "
The old man looked around with a reluctant expression. "I grew up here. I'm very familiar with every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile here. In the past, the Immortal Astral Sect occupied half of Zhuolu City. They also had a large sect encampment in the Immortal Wind Valley in the north of the city. Now, it has been snatched away, leaving only this Daoist temple! I can't accept this! "
However, Qin Di said, "Old man, living is the most important thing. I advise you not to fight over this. "You should find a place to stay first. Once I refine a celestial treasure, I'll send you a set. Think about it, will the Immortal Astral Sect have a chance to recover?"
The old man lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Back then, the Tiangang Sect was attacked. Hundreds of disciples either died or fled. Everyone was separated. A few days ago, my Junior Brother came back and said that he found a mountain range in the southern continent that was rich in spiritual energy. Even though it wasn't very big, it was enough for him to continue his cultivation. Because of that, many of the disciples who had been separated from the rest of the continent have come to the mountain range. However, I don't want to leave for the time being. Even though I can extend my lifespan by several thousand years, I won't be able to advance if I don't have the Astral Steps Treading Battle Celestial Artifact. In the end, my future is bleak and I'll die sooner or later. I would rather die here and be buried in my hometown so that I can have peace in my heart. "
Qin Di said, "Since it's like that, then just wait here. I'll refine an Immortal Artifact and send it over to you in three to five years."
The old man raised his head and looked at him with hope in his eyes. "Thank you, little brother. If you succeed, I'm willing to teach you the 'Heavenly Eye' that our sect has passed down for many years. To tell you the truth, our Immortal Astral Sect has an ancestor who is famous in the Celestial World as' Clairvoyant '. He's on par with the famous Clairaudient. "
Qin Di was a little surprised when he heard this, but he immediately smiled. "Okay, let's talk about it the next time we meet."
Then the two of them chatted for a while before separating.
Qin Di left the Daoist temple and Zhuolu City, heading toward Zhuolu City.
The outside of Zhuolu City was no longer as lively as before. There were very few people and it seemed a little deserted.
Qin Di arrived at the periphery of the fog formation and was quickly stopped by a few people flying over.
These people were wearing the uniform of Lingxiao Hall disciples. There was a symbol of a blue sky and white sun on their chests. They shouted, "Hey, kid, what's your name? Quickly take out your identity token! You can only enter once by paying five hundred immortal stones! "
Qin Di thought to himself, No wonder there are so few people coming and going! Entering and exiting Zhuolu City is already quite risky. Furthermore, the periphery has been searched, so there might not be anything good to be found. Now that I have to pay five hundred immortal stones, there are naturally very few people coming!
He couldn't be bothered to argue with these small fries, nor could he kill them all at once. This was because Zhuolu City was guarded by Lingxiao Hall's Heaven Immortals. If he caused a huge commotion, he would be surrounded before he could even enter. That would be meaningless.
Thus, he took out his fake identity token and prepared to pay the immortal stones.
A burly middle-aged Spirit Immortal couldn't bear to see this. He took the identity token and glanced at it, then tossed it to Qin Di. "I have to tell you that 80% of the cultivators in the fog formation are from the Lingxiao Palace. If you encounter these disciples, you have to hide as far away as possible, understand?"
Qin Di didn't say anything. He only nodded slightly and began to take out his immortal stones.
A tall and thin man took the immortal stones and counted five hundred. Then, he said impatiently, "It's not enough! Take out another two hundred! I say, kid, don't you have eyes? We brothers have been working hard here for half a day. How can we make a trip for nothing? "
Qin Di glanced at him and really wanted to raise his hand and slap him to death. However, he took a deep breath and held back in the end. He reached out and took out another two hundred immortal stones.
The surrounding people laughed out loud. "Alright, kid, you can go in now! If you die inside, it's your bad luck! "
"You're quite bold. You actually dared to come and explore alone! Tsk tsk … "
Only the middle-aged Spirit Immortal from before said, "Kid, be more observant when you go in …"
At that moment, Qin Di had already walked into the fog formation. His footsteps were as fast as he could as he quickly walked into the depths of the fog.
He used his clairaudient technique and could hear sounds coming from thousands of kilometers around him. He heard the people behind him talking about the Zhuolu Sutra unscrupulously.
"Third Brother Liu, why are you so softhearted again? You clearly know that entering means death. Why are you reminding him? "
"Sigh … another human life …"
"What's this kid's name? Which sect is he from? "
"I took a glance just now. He seems to be called 'Fei Ren' from the Sanqing Sect. Where's the Sanqing Sect? "
"It seems to be a small sect in the southeast. There are only a few Spirit Immortals in total. No wonder they don't dare to resist …"
"This fellow definitely doesn't know that our sect's Sect Master and twenty Heaven Immortals are cracking the third immortal formation. In order to prevent others from disturbing us, they have sent tens of thousands of Spirit Immortals in the first two layers of the formation. Any disciple of other sects they encounter will be killed without mercy …"
"Hehe, we killed all the people who came to explore not long ago. Otherwise, why would there be fewer and fewer people … "
"Haha, we killed people and even sealed the news. The people outside don't know how these people died. They all thought that they were lost in the Zhuolu Sutra!"
"When do you think the Sect Master can crack the third immortal formation? It's been 180 years, and I heard that he hasn't entered yet … "
"What's 180 years? Isn't it just a blink of an eye for a Heaven Immortal? "
