Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1599: Chapter 543: Mutual Suspicions, Selling the Immortal City!

”I don’t recognize you two Daoists. Are you not cultivators from Jiang Country?”

At this moment, the woman in the purple dress beside Meng Wuheng spoke up.

”To be honest, my wife and I are not cultivators from the Southern Wilderness. We inadvertently stumbled upon a forbidden land and were thus transported here.”

”Having heard about the situation in the Great Dream Marsh, we came to hunt demons and collect resources.”

Lu Changsheng said, cupping his hands.

The Core Formation cultivators of Jiang Country are all well-known by name.

If they claimed to be cultivators from Jiang Country, it would be obviously unreasonable.

If they said they came from surrounding countries, it would also be prone to flaws.

It was better to straightforwardly say that they both came from the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm.

After all, in conversation with Hong Lian, he learned a bit about the Northern Origin.

And in this aspect, Hong Lian could provide the details, leaving no flaws.

”Hmm?”

True Man Wuhen and Cloud Dream True Master exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both showing surprise and unexpected expressions.

”You two Daoists actually come from another cultivation world?”

”Such traversing of regions is something my wife and I have only seen recorded in ancient texts. We never expected to encounter such an instance.”

Though they were suspicious of this account, they did not voice any doubts, showing only slight surprise and curiosity.

”Meeting today is also a matter of fate. You two Daoists are welcome to visit our Great Dream Immortal City, rest for a few days, enjoy tea, and discuss Dao.”

”Moreover, since you two Daoists have been hunting demon beasts for quite a while, you must have many materials needing processing. Our Immortal City can handle that for you.”

True Man Wuhen said with a friendly and courteous demeanor.

Lu Changsheng pondered briefly, then exchanged a glance with Hong Lian, saying, ”Then we’ll impose upon you.”

Although he was not clear on their specific attitude,

since the other party showed goodwill, Lu Changsheng was also willing to befriend the two of them.

After all, they would come to the Great Dream Marsh to hunt demons again in the future.

They would inevitably meet and deal with these two City Lords.

Therefore, befriending them and maintaining a relationship had many benefits and conveniences.

As for whether the other party harbored malicious intent...

It can only be said that even though the two of them had consumed a lot of energy, they were not to be taken lightly by ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

...

After arriving at the Great Dream Immortal City, Meng Wuhen and his wife seemed aware of avoiding suspicion and arranged for Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian to stay at a luxurious inn.

Then both parties enjoyed tea, discussed Dao, exchanged and explored knowledge in cultivation, with a harmonious atmosphere.

During the process, they were very curious about the previous cultivation world of Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian, asking many questions.

However, with Hong Lian present, there were no flaws in this regard, dispelling all their doubts.

Seizing this opportunity, Lu Changsheng inquired about the detailed situation of the Great Dream Marsh from them.

For example, how deep one could venture before encountering danger, any precautions or taboos when hunting Demon Kings, and a distribution map of the Demon Kings.

In response to these, the Meng Wuhen couple were not stingy and provided Lu Changsheng with detailed information about the Great Dream Marsh.

It included relatively safe island routes in the Great Dream Marsh, several dangerous restricted zones in the deep sea area, and information on the Demon Kings.

Even though Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian were unafraid of Third Rank Demon Kings, such intelligence information was very important.

”Having chatted for so long, I’ve interrupted you two Daoists’ rest.”

”Regarding material processing, I’ll send someone later to help you handle it. If you two Daoists need anything, you can use this token to find me.”

”If you two Daoists need a cave mansion for cultivation, you can also use this token to access the core cave mansion area.”

Later, Meng Wuhen and his wife rose to bid farewell, gifting a token engraved with the words ’Great Dream’.

”Thank you, Daoists, for your trouble.”

Lu Changsheng and Hong Lian expressed their gratitude.

After the two left, Hong Lian gently raised her jade hand, drawing a beautiful arc and setting a barrier in the room.

Then she looked at Lu Changsheng and said, ”Master, these two are not simple. They might not even be from Jiang Country or the Southern Wilderness.”

”Oh? What makes you say that?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised, not knowing how Hong Lian discerned this.

”Their mana aura is quite unique, seemingly independent, yet seamlessly integrated, with a merging of Qi mechanisms. This definitely indicates a top-notch dual cultivation technique, and both of them are at least at the late stage of Core Formation.”

”Earlier, when they heard we came from the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm, that Cloud Dream True Master seemed to heave a sigh of relief, as if worried about something.”

”Their inquiries also carried a sense of probing, indicating some familiarity with the Northern Desolate Cultivation Realm.”

”These signs all suggest the two of them are not simple, having some kind of secret.”

Hong Lian spoke elegantly, wearing a plain white dress.

In her past life as a Nascent Soul True Lord, her experiences were much richer than those of Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, possessing a Nascent Soul, she was able to perceive subtle expressions, emotions, and even soul fluctuations in the two.

”Worried?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised and said, ”Could it be they are from another country or another cultivation world, here to avoid disaster?”

He, although possessing the Taiyi Divine Soul, did not detect anything amiss with these two.

He only sensed that they were unusual, not ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

”This possibility cannot be ruled out. In any case, it’s better to be more cautious.”

Hong Lian smiled faintly.

”Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, suddenly feeling that the cultivation world was simply filled with schemers.

Azure Phoenix True Man of the Azure Phoenix Immortal City was rumored to be severely injured every few decades.

Yet, mysteriously disappeared for more than ten years, only to return having broken through Nascent Soul.

Now, the most low-key of the Three Great Immortal Cities, Great Dream Immortal City, also had its City Lord couple not be as rumored, Core Formation Middle Stage, but rather Core Formation Late Stage!

The duo had early achievements in repelling late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Now, both being in the late stage of Core Formation, wouldn’t they possess the power to suppress late-stage Core Formation and contend against Nascent Soul!?

”As long as they bear no malice, their origins are none of our concern.”

Lu Changsheng squinted his eyes slightly.

He came to the Great Dream Immortal City merely to earn some money, not interested in their secrets.
