Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 179: Welcome to the Immortal City

High above the mountains and plains, there is an azure cloud flying through the sky.

Nine islands connected by chains are carried on the islands along the great world.

Among them, one is the reception for outsiders and the place where all trade takes place. It’s the hustle and bustle of the island, a true worldly beauty found in immortal colour –

"Welcome to the Azure Cloud Nine Islands Immortal City!" Fu Xian turned to Mingling and Gui Zen after entering the city, showing them the grand beauty of the market.

"This, this... every person here is a cultivator, Foundation Building cultivators walk around among Qi Refining cultivators, and even Origin Light cultivators are barely slightly wealthier people?" Mingling looked at the scene in shock, comparing it with his own view of the mortal cities.

"And a Spiritual Core cultivator can barely be called a minor wealthy man, not even reaching the ranks of a true wealthy man..." Gui Zen continued the metaphor as he looked at the bustling scene.

Cultivators walked around in the city, those at the higher stages followed by several disciples, while those at the lower stages go around on their own.

Sometimes there would be a carriage, the aura inside shocking even Gui Zen!

He turned to Fu Xian, who looked at them with a bright grin.

"Junior brother, this scene, it truly is an immortal city!"

"Hahaha, didn’t I tell you that comparing this city would make every other city look pale?"

"Master, is the city really so much better? I thought the thunder lake’s lightening pool was pretty good," Ye Long asked when he saw the two seniors look so shocked.

"Hahaha, Ye Long, you were born in the city, so this view looks normal to you.

But think about it, in all the cities we visited, even the capital of the Nanhu Empire, didn’t you see mortals going around?"

"Mortals... yes, I did see them."

"Here, in our immortal city, there isn’t a single mortal. Maybe hidden in the courtyards and neighbourhoods, but on the street, not a single mortal can be seen walking around.

This is because this is an immortal city only for those that seek immortality!"

Ye Long nodded, understanding it slightly but not fully.

Fu Xian just shook his head and led the other two into the city.

He had already registered their entry and gave them guest passes, which allowed them to wander around the market island freely.

If he didn’t do so, then the guards on the side would have already taken them away.

Even he rarely visited the market city.

In the past he would have checked out the enjoyment city a bit, to drink some tea and listen to music... but that was also very rare when his mind was truly full of complicated thoughts.

Now he had barely advanced to the third stage, his mind full of inspirations.

Slowly going further down the main street, the people opened up and various streets lead to different places.

Fu Xian allowed the two to explore a bit, standing behind and smiling with Ye Long at the two’s curiosity.

"Potions can be bought just like that?" Mingling asked, pointing at the store window presenting some potions.

"Hehe, if you want them, of course you can buy them!

Up to the fourth or even higher stages, you can directly buy every cultivation resource you need!

But I warn you, they are of higher quality and cost a lot more than what you can find down there.

I wouldn’t take too many potions if I could avoid it.

After all, the spiritual power is abundant and the power you absorb and refine yourself is the best power, while pills and potions will leave behind poison which you will have to fix in the end."

Fu Xian gave some tips to the inexperienced Mingling.

Gui Zen, on the other hand, was calmer.

He observed many things and realised that if he had come here earlier, he might have saved at least a thousand years in his search for materials.

Then again, what Fu Xian said was true. The process of searching gave him a lot of time to refine the accumulated poison in his body.

If he was in the city, constantly taking potions, then the accumulated poison would never have an outlet, finally resulting in hidden injuries to his essence and a corruption of his spiritual power, which would become extremely difficult to fix.

"By the way, senior brother. You probably only lack one fifth stage break through item now, right?

There is an auction every month trading up to third-stage items, one every year for fourth-stage items, every ten years for fifth-stage items and every hundred years for sixth-stage items.

You can only buy breakthrough items at these auctions. Besides that, they also offer a variety of rare items of that stage.

What you can buy here in the markets are often products of creation arts, rarely will you find those wild items or more rare items.

If you want, as far as I know, the next ten-year auction will be held by the end of this year.

But, while it seems like a good way to buy some items...

In fact, the prices are extremely high, with a large premium. It’s at least twice as high as if you were to buy it in an auction outside.

This is the cost of having an auction in the immortal city, and having such a high availability for higher items.

Besides this, there is also the internal purchase channel of the immortal city... to qualify for that, you will have to have been in the city for a long time, fulfil a few requirements, and even then, it will have to be a special case."

Fu Xian explained calmly, mainly to Gui Zen who had completed his spiritual and dao cultivation, only lacking items to break through.

As for Mingling... he only looked over and smiled, "Mingling, you can check the auctions for items in the future, but I don’t recommend you do it now. You should focus on comprehending your cultivation.

Items of the third stage, maybe you can buy it internally in the neighbourhood."
