Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2262: The Middle-Aged Immortal in Myriad Sword City
A thousand years ago, the eight top Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm joined forces to besiege and kill the War Emperor and destroy the Emperor’s Palace.
In the eyes of immortals in the Immortal Realm, the eight Immortal Emperors must have a harmonious and close relationship.
In fact, when the War Emperor was still alive and the Emperor’s Palace still existed, the relationship among the eight Immortal Emperors was indeed very good, and they even formed an alliance while dealing with the Emperor’s Palace.
However, ever since the fall of the War Emperor and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, the alliance among the eight Immortal Emperors has only been maintained on the surface, while secretly they are united in appearance but divided at heart.
The various forces under the eight Immortal Emperors have frequently erupted in conflicts to seize cultivation holy lands and compete for cultivation resources, but they have never openly clashed.
Sometimes, for common interests and goals, the eight Immortal Emperors can become extraordinarily united.
For instance, whenever remnants of the Emperor’s Palace appear in the Immortal Realm, the forces under the eight Immortal Emperors would set aside their past grievances, work sincerely together, and join forces to hunt down the remnants of the Emperor’s Palace.
Although the Emperor’s Palace is destroyed, quite a few disciples of the Emperor’s Palace who managed to escape back then still exist, and they remain a formidable force that cannot be underestimated. They hide and lurk throughout the Immortal Realm, occasionally appearing to launch surprise attacks on the forces under the eight Immortal Emperors to seize cultivation resources, leaving them unprepared and causing the eight Immortal Emperors considerable headaches.
At this moment, within the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City, thousands of disciples from the forces under the eight Immortal Emperors are gathered, discussing an important event that happened recently.
Just a few days ago, an Immortal Stone vein outside Myriad Sword City, belonging to the Myriad Sword Sect, was attacked. Not only were over a hundred disciples from the City Lord Mansion who were guarding the Immortal Stone vein slaughtered, but almost the entire vein with tens of millions of Immortal Stones was plundered.
Among the over a hundred disciples slaughtered from the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City were two experts at the Immortal King Realm, with the rest possessing the cultivation level of the Immortal Venerable Realm. This group was already very powerful, yet they were wiped out silently, which shows how formidable their opponents were.
Moreover, being able to plunder tens of millions of Immortal Stones is not something a few immortals could achieve, leading to the inference that the number of immortals involved in the attack was not small.
When the news reached Myriad Sword City, the four third-grade Immortal King Realm experts stationed at the City Lord Mansion were shaken. They personally went to investigate the Immortal Stone vein and finally concluded that it was the work of disciples of the Emperor’s Palace.
Concerning the matter of the remnants of the Emperor’s Palace, the four Immortal Kings at the City Lord Mansion dared not delay and immediately summoned the disciples from the forces under the other seven Immortal Emperors within Myriad Sword City to the City Lord Mansion for a discussion.
After a round of loud discussions, the nearly thousand disciples from the forces under the eight Immortal Emperors unanimously decided to mobilize all the forces of the eight Immortal Emperors within Myriad Sword City to search an area within a hundred miles. If traces of any Emperor’s Palace disciples were discovered, they would immediately assemble all forces to hunt them down and kill them.
Tens of millions of Immortal Stones represent a huge amount of cultivation resources, making it quite difficult to escape outside the hundred-mile range within a few days carrying such an amount of Immortal Stones. Moreover, the City Lord Mansion has over a dozen Immortal King Realm experts familiar with the terrain searching outside. No matter how deeply those remnants of the Emperor’s Palace hide, it’s hard for them to escape detection.
While the forces under the eight Immortal Emperors conducted a large-scale search for the remnants of the Emperor’s Palace, a figure of a middle-aged immortal appeared in a cultivation resource exchange market within Myriad Sword City.
The middle-aged immortal was clad in a black robe, standing tall with long hair and a beard, his eyes like torches, exuding an intimidating immortal might as he surveyed the surroundings.
He wandered around the cultivation resource exchange market, and whenever he saw cultivation resources he liked, he would purchase them without hesitation.
Some immortals noticed that all the cultivation resources the middle-aged immortal exchanged for were various immortal elixirs used to refine Immortal Pills, and all were the highest grade and most precious elixirs in the entire market.
If one was observant, they would notice that the amount of cultivation resources the middle-aged immortal used to exchange for the elixirs was incredibly substantial, as if the Space Immortal Ring on his finger held an inexhaustible supply of cultivation resources.
"Fellow immortal, how do you exchange these few immortal elixirs?"
At a stall, the middle-aged immortal stood, pointing to a few medium King Grade immortal elixirs displayed at the stall and asked.
The elixirs he pointed to could be used to refine medium King Grade Creation Pills, which would be quite beneficial for advancing in cultivation in the future if exchanged.
As the middle-aged immortal inquired, his gaze swept over the stall owner, with a trace of a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The stall owner, with a sallow face and medium build, was an unsmiling immortal of the first-grade Immortal King realm. Hearing the middle-aged immortal’s inquiry, he replied gloomily, "As long as you have a bottle of medium King Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pills, you can have all five of these immortal elixirs."
Stroking his beard, the middle-aged immortal said, "Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pills are not easy to refine, and medium King Grade ones are even more precious. It won’t be easy for you to exchange them."
The stall owner replied expressionlessly, "If not a bottle, five pills would do!"
The middle-aged immortal smiled and suddenly asked, "The Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill is used to repair the Qi Sea. Perhaps you have a friend who is injured?"
The stall owner frowned, showing some impatience, and waved his hand, saying, "You are so tedious. If you don’t have the Immortal Pill to exchange, please leave and don’t hinder my business..."
As he spoke, he noticed the middle-aged immortal suddenly moving his hands, quickly forming several mysterious hand seals, and his voice abruptly stopped, his frown frozen on his face.
"Fellow immortal, I don’t have Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pills, but I have other Immortal Pills. Shall we find a place to talk in detail?"
The middle-aged immortal said with a smile.
"Yes... yes..."
The stall owner showed a flash of joy in his eyes, quickly packed up his stall, and led the way out of the market with large strides.
As he passed by a dozen stalls in the market, he exchanged a brief glance with the stall owners, so after he and the middle-aged immortal left, the dozen stall owners also packed up their stalls one after another and followed them.
This was a secluded courtyard a hundred miles away from the cultivation resource exchange market, with numerous immortal elixirs planted inside. It was also equipped with a small Immortal Array for gathering immortal qi, making the immortal qi within the courtyard denser than in other places in Myriad Sword City, thus an excellent place for cultivation.
"The formation is set up nicely, but there are some minor flaws... hmm, see, it’s much better now!"
After following the stall owner into the courtyard, the middle-aged immortal glanced around, walked to the Immortal Arrays, and waved his hands, inscribing array patterns and Immortal Talismans around them.
In the stunned gaze of the stall owner, the Immortal Arrays, modified slightly by the middle-aged immortal, began circulating again. As a result, the surrounding immortal qi rushed into the courtyard, making the immortal qi several times denser than before.
