I am cultivating immortals in mortal science

Chapter 1861: Jukun City

The Jinyuan Caravan set off urgently. Even though they consumed immortal stones to increase their speed, they entered the Black Mountain Immortal Realm in only half of the time planned.

Although it was unknown why the Taiyi Thunder Beasts did not chase after them, this was undoubtedly a good thing, and the cultivators in the caravan naturally would not delve into it.

As they were about to arrive at the Black Mountain Fairy Palace, Luo Hong no longer practiced in seclusion, but would walk around on the deck every day, overlooking the mortal kingdom and the immortal sects below, so as to get to know the customs and culture of the Black Mountain Fairyland with his own eyes.

"We have reached the Floating Cloud Mountains. We will soon reach Jukun City. The caravan will stay for three days to load and unload goods. Inspector Luo, are you interested in getting off the ship and taking a look around?"

At some point, Song Yaoguang had walked up to Luo Hong and asked in a gentle voice.

Luo Hong turned his head and saw that the woman was not wearing golden armor today, but a light golden fairy dress. She looked less heroic but more gentle.

"I heard that the laws in Jukun City are very strict. It is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities. The outer city is fine, but the inner city is extremely difficult to enter.

We are just new here, can we be an exception?"

Jukun City is the largest and most prosperous city in the northern part of the Black Mountain Fairyland. Hundreds of immortal cultivation forces gather in the city, including immortal cultivation families and branches set up by sects.

Therefore, there are very few mortals in such a huge city, and the vast majority of residents are monks!
Although the outer city of Jukun City allows high-level cultivators to enter and exit freely, cultivators above the level of True Immortal basically have to enter the inner city if they want to find something useful.

Due to the importance of Jukun City, the Heavenly Court has dispatched a supervisory immortal envoy to stay here all year round. He has set a rule that only registered True Immortals and above in the domain can enter the inner city.

The members of the Jinyuan caravan are all monks from foreign lands, and they obviously do not meet the requirements.

“There are exceptions to every rule, just like in the inner city of Jukun City, as long as Patrolman Luo has Taiyi cultivation, he can go anywhere.

This is not the first time that the caravan has come. The supervising envoy will give the three masters some face."

Song Yaoguang explained with a smile.

"The rules of Jukun City are exactly the opposite of those of the Floating Cloud Mountains. They don't care about worldly affairs and just indulge in the mountains and rivers. Haha, speaking of which, the cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountains are really enviable!"

Looking at the misty mountains below, Luo Hong chuckled and couldn't help but sigh.

The Floating Cloud Mountain Range is also known as the Idle Cloud Mountain. There are seventy-two valleys and thirty-six gullies in the entire mountain range, and a large number of immortal cultivators live there.

However, these monks were not the ones who practiced hard in seclusion. Instead, they completely gave up the great way and spent all their time on worldly pursuits such as traveling, playing the piano, playing chess, brewing wine, writing poems, etc. They lived a very easy and comfortable life.

"This place is just empty. Don't ask about the past, don't get involved in disputes, don't be disturbed by outsiders. These three rules have made countless people wanted by the Heavenly Court hide here.

I think the higher-ups probably wanted to keep this place to catch a big fish, otherwise they would have sent a large army to clear it out long ago."

Song Yaoguang saw it very clearly. In order to obtain true freedom and ease, one must at least reach the Taiyi realm.

The Jade Immortal's body has transcended disasters and is no longer within the five elements. It is the true immortality!

"Oh, then Luo must look forward to this day coming sooner, then I will probably be able to easily gain a lot of good deeds."

Luo Hong replied in a relaxed tone, but in his heart he was thinking how many innocent monks would be killed in order to take credit for the achievement.

Besides, Luo Hong was not sighing because he was really tired and wanted to relax for a while, but the Yehe Valley in Xianyun Mountain was where Han Lao Mo would settle down in the future, and he would definitely come to visit him in the future.

“I am looking forward to it.”

Song Yaoguang immediately agreed.

However, Luo Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Song Yaoguang's clothes and said in surprise:
"What does Fairy Song mean by this? Could it be..."

“Yes, I have decided to leave the caravan and take up a position at Black Mountain Palace.

From now on, Inspector Luo and I are colleagues. I hope Inspector Luo can help us more!"

Song Yaoguang nodded immediately and bowed to Luo Hong.

“Since we are colleagues, there is no need to be so polite in addressing each other.

Fairy Song, I understand that you want to leave the caravan, but why did you choose Black Mountain Palace instead of going to the palaces in other large areas?"

The Jinyuan Immortal Realm is one of the thirty-six major realms. With Song Yaoguang's background and cultivation having reached the peak of the Golden Immortal, it is not difficult for him to go to a major realm immortal palace to take up a position.

“Then Brother Luo can just call me Yaoguang.

Brother Luo may not know that the palace masters of the Dayu Immortal Palace are all Daluo cultivators, and there are a large number of Taiyi in the Immortal Palace. My level of cultivation is not noticeable at all, and it is difficult for me to have the opportunity to gain a lot of good deeds.

It is different in a medium-sized fairyland. Usually only the palace master is a Taiyi cultivator. With my level of cultivation, if I were to take up the post there, I would immediately become his right-hand man and be entrusted with important tasks!"

Song Yaoguang first curled his lips, blushed as he explained, and then whispered in a sneaky voice:
“And now Palace Master Nie has been severely injured by those thunder beasts. After he returns, he will definitely go into seclusion to recover from his injuries and entrust the affairs of the Immortal Palace to others.

If I join now, I can immediately obtain the power of the Palace Master of some medium-sized Immortal Palaces, and it will be of great convenience to accumulate good deeds!
Brother Luo, I have inquired about it. You and I are similar. We have both just arrived at the Black Mountain Palace. We can help each other then!"

Song Yaoguang actually told Luo Hong her little thoughts directly. It was obvious that the previous life-saving grace made her fully trust Luo Hong.

Luo Hong's eyes turned. He had never thought that there would be such a benefit from Nie Chonggang's serious injury.

It seems that the Black Mountain Immortal Palace is really the best choice for Song Yaoguang right now!

"From now on, I will rely entirely on your support, Yaoguang."

Luo Hong thought about it and realized that he must hide his cultivation level for now. When he arrived at the Black Mountain Immortal Palace, he would most likely be assigned to serve under a deputy palace master who was in the late Golden Immortal stage, which would make it inconvenient for him to do things.

But if this deputy palace master was Song Yaoguang, with whom he had a good relationship, then the situation would naturally be completely different!

"Brother Luo, please don't say such things. If you hadn't risked your life before, Yaoguang wouldn't be alive!"

Song Yaoguang suddenly said with some anger.

Wait, there's something wrong with this woman's eyes!

Luo Hong felt a chill in his heart, feeling that working under Song Yaoguang would be especially dangerous.

Jukun City is only tens of thousands of miles away from the Floating Cloud Mountains, so while the two were talking, the Jinyuan caravan was almost there.

Looking far away at this moment, Luo Hong could already see a majestic city wall.

As a result, at this moment, the patrol token on Luo Hong's waist flashed.

"Palace Master Nie called me over."

Luo Hong muttered to himself.

"The Palace Master probably wants to make some arrangements for you before he goes into seclusion. Go over there quickly and don't keep him waiting for too long."

As Song Yaoguang spoke, she hinted with her eyes, obviously reminding Luo Hong not to forget what she had just said.

After nodding to him, Luo Hong flashed and disappeared into the depths of the giant boat.

After Song Yaoguang withdrew his gaze, his eyes suddenly became resolute. Looking at the Jukun City approaching in the distance, he whispered to himself:

"An Yuan, Dong Chu, just wait. I will soon break through Tai Yi and help you get revenge!"

A moment later, Luo Hong walked into a misty hall and saw Nie Chonggang sitting naked in a milky white medicine pool.

"This subordinate Luo Hong comes to see the Palace Master!"

Ignoring the strong medicinal fragrance that rushed into his nose, Luo Hong bowed to Nie Chonggang.

"Well, during the previous battle, how did you know that beast was setting up his formation?"

Nie Chonggang asked in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hong activated his Thunderbolt Immortal Body and said frankly:
"When I was in the lower realm, I was lucky enough to get a low-level thunder beast. I used it to cultivate my body and thus gained some of the thunder beast's innate magical powers. Therefore, when the thunder beast set up its formation, I sensed something was wrong."

“So that’s how it is. You are able to ascend to the immortal world because of an extraordinary opportunity.

If only I could have done it earlier, but now it’s useless to say more.”

Nie Chonggang had never doubted Luo Hong. After all, if it weren't for his two reminders, their fate would have been even worse.

They can only blame themselves for being careless.

But who could have imagined that four of the extremely rare Taiyi Thunder Beasts would appear at once?
“I have already told fellow Daoist Gu who has just woken up about what I promised you before.

After learning that it was your reminder that saved him from being plotted against, he has agreed to teach you all three levels of the Life Source Technique."

After saying that, Nie Chonggang glanced towards the pool, and a jade slip flew towards Luo Hong.

Happiness came too suddenly. Luo Hong immediately took the jade slip with an expression of ecstasy, and bowed to Nie Chonggang and said:

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

“In addition, Fellow Daoist Gu also asked this Palace Master to remind you that although the Life Source Technique can speed up the refining of your own life immortal weapon, it can easily damage your vitality if you are not careful.

To thank you, he is willing to give you a ninth-grade immortal weapon when he returns to the sect."

Nie Chonggang continued to pass on the message.

Luo Hong was stunned when he heard this. This person who is familiar with ancient prescriptions is actually quite nice.

However, Luo Hong was not short of ninth-grade immortal tools, so he turned his eyes and said:

“In fact, what I am really interested in is not the entry-level immortal weapon, but I have always wanted to practice the orthodox method of refining weapons in the immortal world.

If possible, I would like to exchange this ninth-grade immortal weapon for the opportunity to study in the Black Armor Building.

Of course, I will never covet the secrets of the Black Armor Building's weapon refining techniques!"

“So you are interested in refining weapons. This road is not easy to take. You must know that immortal weapons are more difficult to refine than Taoist pills!

However, a preliminary understanding of the method of refining immortal weapons will be of great benefit to you in using them in the future.

This is not difficult, I will communicate with Fellow Daoist Gu later."

Nie Chonggang also went through Luo Hong's stage. Who hasn't thought about becoming a Heavenly Pill Master and Taoist Weapon Master in the beginning?

Only by trying this kind of thing yourself can you realize how untalented you are, and then you will naturally give up.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for your help!"

Luo Hong was immediately even more delighted, and couldn't help but thank those Taiyi Thunder Beasts in his heart.

"Well, having said all this, it's time to talk about the arrangements for you.

After I return to the Immortal Palace, I will stay in seclusion to recuperate and hand over the affairs of the palace to the three current deputy palace masters. Which one do you want to work under?"

Being able to ask this question is also a kind of reward. Luo Hong immediately seized the opportunity and replied with a cupped hand:

"I am willing to serve under Fairy Song."

"Okay, you can go down."

Nie Chonggang seemed to have expected Luo Hong's answer and agreed without surprise.

"Subordinates resign!"

After another salute, Luo Hong turned into a black lightning and escaped from the hall.

"Xuan Ying."

After a moment's silence, Nie Chonggang suddenly called out.

"My subordinate is here."

Suddenly, a black shadow rose up at the edge of the medicine pool.

"Go check out his Ascension Altar."

Nie Chonggang gave the order immediately.

"Yes!"

The black shadow disappeared instantly.

Half a day later, the Jinyuan caravan stopped above Jukun City. Luo Hong and Song Yaoguang were now heading into the city together.

As soon as he passed through the city gate, Luo Hong saw a platform called "Zhu Xian Bang" standing in the square, and immediately walked over with interest.

There was a thousand-foot-high notice hanging above the platform, on which were painted figures of all shapes and sizes, including humans, demons, and many other races. Their crimes and life and death bounties were marked in words below.

With a quick glance, Luo Hong found Jiao San on the list, but the name on the list was Gan Jiuzhen, but the image drawn was the same as her wearing a mask.

"Gan Jiuzhen, 100,000 Immortal Yuan Stones. Brother Luo, are you interested in hunting this woman down?"

Song Yaoguang followed Luo Hong's gaze and couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that I'm interested, but I found traces of this woman when I was in Beihan Immortal Territory."

Luo Hong said this casually, but he was complaining in his heart:
"Good fellow, he's using 100,000 Immortal Yuan Stones to capture her. I'm afraid the Lord of the Samsara Palace will show up just as he's about to succeed!"

“It’s good that you’re not interested. One hundred thousand immortal stones are a very tricky thing.

If Brother Luo wants to do the tasks on the Zhuxian Ranking, it is better to aim at the targets with bounties below 10,000."

Song Yaoguang reminded immediately.

"Most of those criminals with less than 10,000 Immortal Yuan Stones are Golden Immortals. Isn't this reward too low?"

Luo Hong looked at it again and found that neither he nor Mo Bufan were on the list, so he couldn't help but relax.

However, Han Lao Mo still couldn't escape the fate of being on the list, and it was clearly marked at the bottom of the Zhu Xian list:

"Li Feiyu, a former Candle Dragon Daoist monk, killed the Immortal Envoy Tao Yu. He is a late True Immortal. A reward of 2,000 Immortal Yuan Stones is offered!"

In the original time and space, because he was involved in the murder of Gongshu Jiu, the bounty on Han Lao Mo was five thousand immortal stones.

Now, because of Luo Hong's help, he did not reveal his identity in the Minghan Immortal Mansion, so all the blame was taken by Wusheng Taoist and Jiao San.

"Haha, Brother Luo, you misunderstood. These bounty stones are just a small part of the reward. After capturing or killing the people on the list, we can get a lot of good deeds.

Therefore, generally speaking, when a patrolling immortal envoy sets his sights on a target, he will first recruit people according to the reward of immortal stones to gather information.

We only seek good deeds, not immortal stones!"

Song Yaoguang explained with a chuckle.

Luo Hong almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. It sounds lofty, but good deeds are just another kind of Immortal Yuan Stone.

When the Heavenly Court does things, it really likes to cover itself up with a layer of skin.

There would normally not be major changes on the Zhuxian List, and there were not many cultivators on the platform. The two of them encountered no obstructions in going up and down, and they went towards the inner city together.
