Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Elder Zhang, you've arrived!"

Hong Rensong's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward, bowing before Zhang Yuanjing.

On the street, people came and went, not paying much attention. But after all, he was a Core Formation Perfect cultivator, and many people still glanced at Zhang Yuanjing a few more times.

"Let's talk inside!"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded to this middle-aged outer disciple and stepped into the Tiannan branch of the Xuan Yu Trading Company.

He had originally decided not to return to the Immortal City, but he hadn't seen Fire Crow Daoist for more than ten years. Returning to the Southern Region to break through to the Nascent Soul stage would take many years. Thinking that he still needed to give an explanation, he entered Tiannan Immortal City on the way south.

Steward Ju Yuanzhan was not in the building.

"Where is your steward?"

"Steward is out on business, he went to the City Lord's Mansion." Hong Rensong replied, "Recently, the City Lord's Mansion has been frequently summoning various trading companies, nothing more than requesting donations of various combat supplies."

Zhang Yuanjing frowned and asked, "Why donate supplies? Didn't the demon siege end long ago!"

"This, this humble one doesn't know. I heard, I heard that the Seven Cities Alliance's Hall of Affairs wants to gather forces to attack the demons." Hong Rensong said cautiously.

Zhang Yuanjing estimated that the matter of the Pillar of Heaven had probably been transmitted to the City Lord's Mansion through a special sound transmission array. The Seven Cities Alliance seemed to be acting quickly this time, quickly making a decision to do their best to compete for the opportunity. This was also expected. According to the records, every time the Pillar of Heaven appeared, it represented a great opportunity.

However, the demons would never give in. For this Pillar of Heaven, the two races would have to pay tens of thousands of lives.

Zhang Yuanjing knew that his knowledge was limited due to his status, so he turned and asked, "Is the City Lord of Tiannan City still Zuo Dachen of the True Yang Sect?"

Hong Rensong nodded and said, "Yes, it's still True Person Zuo. However, because of the demon siege, True Person Xi of the Chaotian Sect and True Person Jiao of the Yuling Sect are also here."

Zhang Yuanjing asked a few questions, only asking him to talk about interesting anecdotes in the city, most of which were useless. However, one piece of information caught his attention.

"You said that Cai Fengjin, a disciple of the Immortal纹 Sect, passed through Tiannan City and went to the Southern Region? Are you sure he went to the Southern Region?"

Hong Rensong nodded quickly and said, "This humble one is sure. I heard that this person spent a lot of money in the trading company opened by the Zixia Sect, buying many items. This humble one heard it from a shop assistant bragging."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a Tianyuan Cave disciple named Du Zhihong? Have you heard any news about him?"

Hong Rensong thought for a moment and said, "This humble one has never heard of this person. However, if you talk about the major sect cultivators from the Central Region who came south from the Hengduan Mountains, I do know some."

Zhang Yuanjing asked a few more questions, then rewarded him with a bag of low-grade spirit stones, went straight to the third floor, and chose a room to sit and rest.

Hong Rensong bowed and remained unchanged, waiting until Zhang Yuanjing's figure completely disappeared before straightening his back, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Another young shop assistant following behind said enviously, "Wow, the elder gave so many spirit stones at once, Brother Song, you are very lucky!"

Hong Rensong smiled and said, "The elder's gift is for both of us, you and I split it in half."

He threw the spirit stone bag to this person, "Count how many!"

This person was full of surprise, and quickly opened the bag, blurting out, "There are a hundred!"

Hong Rensong smiled and said, "The elder is generous, we must remember his kindness."

After the two divided the spirit stones, Hong Rensong said, "Brother, I'll go out for a while and be back soon. If the steward comes back, please explain it for me."

This person smiled and said, "Brother Song, just go, I'll take care of the shop."

Hong Rensong stroked the storage bag at his waist, walked out of the shop quickly, and disappeared into the street.

Two hours later, Hong Rensong hurried into the shop, greeted the young shop assistant, went straight to the third floor, and said in a low voice in the hall, "Is the elder here? This humble one has something to report."

After a few breaths, a door on the left opened, and Zhang Yuanjing's voice came: "Come in!"

Hong Rensong didn't look sideways, walked into the room, and bowed: "Reporting to the elder, this humble one went out to do errands just now, and inadvertently heard a shop assistant from a trading company say that the City Lord's Mansion is gathering Foundation Establishment cultivators and above to support the First Demon Suppression City in the north, and the city gate is only allowing entry and not exit."

Zhang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and stood up suddenly, asking, "Where did the news come from?"

Hong Rensong said respectfully, "This humble one is acquainted with a shop assistant from the Chaotian Sect. This person has some connections in the Chaotian Sect and can often hear some secret news. This matter was told to me by him."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment, took out a jade slip, used sound transmission to store a section of words in it, and took out a white jade bottle, placing it on the wooden table in front of him, and said, "The matter is urgent, and there is no time to wait for Junior Brother Ju to return. This jade slip, when he returns to the store, you give it to him. This jade bottle contains Hundred Spirit Pills. If you cultivate well, you may still have a chance to enter the Dao in this life!"

Hong Rensong's body trembled slightly, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, and bowed in response: "This humble one will definitely handle the task assigned by the elder properly! Thank you, elder, for your promotion!"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded, walked out of the room quickly, left the trading company, and hurried towards the south gate of the Immortal City.

Before long, he arrived at the inside of the south city gate, and from afar, he saw a team of guards, led by a Core Formation cultivator, setting up a checkpoint and questioning those leaving the city.

Zhang Yuanjing's heart sank slightly, and he slowed down his walking speed, seeing that several cultivators in front were persuaded to return, all with dissatisfied expressions.

He walked to the city gate, and the Core Formation cultivator in the guard team hurried forward, first cupping his hands in salute, and then said, "This fellow Daoist, are you going to leave the city?"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded: "That's right."

"Does fellow Daoist have urgent matters?"

"Yes."

"May I know fellow Daoist's name, which sect you come from, and what you want to do when you leave the city?" This person asked three questions in a row, but his tone was quite polite.

Zhang Yuanjing said unhappily, "When did leaving the Immortal City require questioning!"

This person was a Core Formation middle-stage cultivator. Facing a Perfect cultivator, even if he had the duty of a guard, he did not dare to be presumptuous. Seeing that Zhang Yuanjing's expression was not right, he quickly smiled apologetically: "Please forgive me, fellow Daoist. This is an order issued by the City Lord's Mansion. Any Foundation Establishment cultivator or above, if there is no reason to leave the city, must be persuaded to return."

"Why?"

"This, the City Lord's Mansion's decree did not explain, and this humble one does not know either. But since there is this order, this humble one, as the city gate guard, has to comply. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist!"

Zhang Yuanjing knew that his identity had been recognized by the great array when he entered the city and could not be concealed at all, so he said, "This poor Daoist is Zhang Yuanjing of the Xuantian Sect, and I have received an order from the sect's True Person to return to the mountain gate immediately."

This Core Formation cultivator pondered for a moment, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, can you be more specific?"

Zhang Yuanjing's body surged with energy, and he said angrily: "This is my Xuantian Sect's secret, how can I tell you? What exactly does the City Lord's Mansion's decree mean? Don't be evasive!"

This person took a few steps back, exchanged a look with a Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please don't be angry. The City Lord's Mansion has ordered that from today onwards, Foundation Establishment cultivators and above cannot leave the city without the City Lord's consent."
