Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

The Netherworld Sect's territorial management is different from that of the Chu State. There are no princes, nobles or court officials sitting in charge of all parties.

It entrusts the territory outside the core territory of the sect to the strong or meritorious people, and collects resources and disciples from them every year.

Although this method can easily lead to conflicts between local powers and sects, Netherworld Sect maintains a special connection with Central Continent and has always maintained strong strength to stabilize all forces within the territory.

Zhou Yiqiao came to Changsheng Village again and felt relieved after confirming that the ancestral hall had been demolished by the villagers and that the Nascent Soul evil cultivator had not made any follow-up actions.

He quietly transformed into a jade-faced scholar in the early stages of foundation building, and entered the territory of the Netherworld Sect from the direction of Qule Kingdom.

Zhou Yiqiao has always been focused on being targeted, so when he came to Netherworld Sect on this trip, he naturally did enough homework.

There are six powerful sects in Netherworld Sect.

Except for the Netherworld Sect, which is the most powerful and commands the overall situation, the remaining five forces are:

Wangui Valley, Qianrenzong, Feihe Mountain, Jibing Gorge and Wanghai City.

Among these five major forces, the Qianren Sect is the strongest. There are two Nascent Soul Lords in the sect. They are located on the south side of the Netherworld Sect and are the frontline force against the Chu Kingdom's military front.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Ghosts is a demonic force that specializes in refining the souls of wronged souls and strengthening themselves with the power of evil.

As for the Jibing Gorge, it is said that it is rich in a strange cold thing called Jijing.

It is said that people who take this product can resist severe cold and heat, be immune to all diseases, and can also increase their longevity...

All in all, all the major forces that can be entrusted by the Netherworld Sect have special functions.

Because of the ongoing war with the Chu State, the Qian Ren Sect's guards were extremely tight. As Zhou Yiqiao walked through its territory, disciples of the Qian Ren Sect's patrolling sect could be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao had mastered the breathing technique so well that he didn't attract anyone's attention after shaking his head and changing faces many times.

After using the golden wind flag used in the Foundation Establishment Realm to escape for several days, he easily arrived at the central area controlled by the Netherworld Sect.

The Netherworld Sect has been able to compete with the Chu State for so long without falling behind. Its strength is not unpowerful, which can be seen from the prosperity within its territory.

Although it is located in a bitter cold land in the far north, the Netherworld Sect has managed to make the territory very prosperous.

Almost every hundred miles, you can see a city or market. The streets and alleys are lined with shops and crowded with people.

Zhou Yiqiao came to a market hundreds of miles away from the Nether Sect. After walking into a shop, he went straight to the shopkeeper for questioning.

"Shopkeeper, do you have polar crystals for sale here?"

Ji Jing is a special product of Ji Bingxia, and only disciples of Ji Bingxia and Netherworld Sect can enjoy it all year round. Zhou Yiqiao naturally cannot get a positive result when he asks like this.

"Sir, you are really joking. Even the inner disciples of Netherworld Sect cannot enjoy such a rare thing as Ji Jing, let alone my small shop?"

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and denied it.

Zhou Yiqiao was not surprised and asked again.

"Does the shopkeeper know where to buy Ji Jing?"

The shopkeeper stared at Zhou Yiqiao for a long time. Seeing that the young man in his eyes was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't seem to be joking, he pondered for a long time before finally speaking.

"My guest, go fifty miles further north. Over there is the city under the personal jurisdiction of the Netherworld Sect, Jiutianfang City."

"The objects sold in Jiutianfang City are the rarest in the entire Netherworld Sect. Even the items used by direct disciples of the sect can be seen in Jiutianfang City."

"Your Majesty, go over there and ask. If you are lucky, you may be able to get the polar crystal you want."

After Zhou Yiqiao got the information he wanted, he took a cup of tea and arrived at the place the shopkeeper said was the destination of his trip, Jiutianfang City.

It was late at night, and the city was still brightly lit and bustling with people.

The layout inside is no different from an ordinary market. The only difference is that the types of goods inside are richer and rarer.

At this time, he changed his appearance again and pretended to be an ordinary monk. He found a shop with sparse traffic, bought some ordinary elixirs and talismans, and chatted with the shopkeeper about household matters.

"Is the shopkeeper a local from Jiutianfang City?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked casually while playing with the spirit stone in his hand.

"That's right! The old man has been in this Netherworld Sect for four or five generations, so he has lived here for generations."

The shopkeeper stroked his gray beard, smiled and nodded in response.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly when he heard this, then changed the topic and continued to ask.

"This Jiutianfang City is managed by the Netherworld Sect personally. The shopkeeper has been in this city for so long, but has he ever seen the genius of the Netherworld Sect come here?"

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's young face, the shopkeeper thought he was a fledgling monk from some family, so he didn't worry too much.

"The real geniuses in the Netherworld Sect are all cultivated in the Golden Core. How could they condescend to come here in person?"

"We ordinary monks can only see people running errands for those overpasses."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned and said with a sad look on his face.

"What should I do? I am here to find my fiancée who has joined the Netherworld Sect."

"She is one of the direct disciples of the Netherworld Sect. If it is as the shopkeeper said, won't we never have the chance to meet her?"

After listening to Zhou Yiqiao's words, the shopkeeper showed a strange expression.

The direct descendants of the Netherworld Sect are extremely talented, and each of them has at least a golden elixir cultivation level. How could such a proud man have a fiancé who has advanced to the foundation building level.

"Is your guest teasing me?"

"Every sentence below is true, how can it be false?"

Seeing that the shopkeeper doubted his words, Zhou Yiqiao immediately took out the black token Wu Ranchen left for her.

When the shopkeeper saw the token, he was very surprised. He reached out and took the token and looked at it carefully. He then raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yiqiao carefully.

"I didn't expect that your Excellency would actually be engaged to a disciple of the Nether Sect. It's really disrespectful!"

The shopkeeper's attitude changed, and he hurriedly cupped his fists and cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

"In the market, those patrolling monks dressed in purple are all outer disciples of the Netherworld Sect."

"You just need to bring the token to express your intention, and they will go and inform you."

"But those disciples have always had a high eye. I'm afraid it's hard to believe that a monk like you, who is in the foundation building stage, can be the fiancé of their sect's genius."

"so......"

The shopkeeper stopped slightly when he said this, hesitating to speak.

When Zhou Yiqiao saw this, he immediately understood what the other party meant and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Since I dare to come to Jiutianfang City, I have enough confidence to prove myself."

After saying that, he left the spirit stone in his hand on the table, and under the gaze of the shopkeeper, he walked towards the disciples of the Netherworld Sect who happened to be passing by outside the shop.
