Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 968: 953 Chapter: Clue

Ju Mu Immortal City!

A city completely constructed from giant trees woven together, towering hundreds of feet high and still growing upwards.

When Li Zhirui first saw the Immortal City, he was genuinely stunned by its appearance.

But it was only after he entered the city that he realized the exterior was just the basics; whether it was the paths or the shops, all were formed by vines coexisting with giant trees, as if stepping into a forest world.

And Ju Mu Immortal City was divided into two major sections, above ground and underground!

This was the only city in Cave Abyss State with an underground city.

The layout on the ground was similar to other Immortal Cities, while the underground was filled with chaotic places that didn’t seem to belong to the Immortal Dao Forces at all, more like the reckless Demon Cultivators.

To better understand Cave Abyss State, Li Zhirui hired a local child to guide him to the entrance of the underground city.

Because the underground city was too dangerous, the children generally would not go in.

”Thank you, senior!” After receiving the Spirit Stone from Li Zhirui, the child bowed deeply and then ran off as if fleeing from some abyssal beast inside.

Li Zhirui withdrew his gaze and walked straight in.

The passage was not dark but rather wide and bright, hardly giving the impression of entering an underground area.

After moving forward for about half an hour, Li Zhirui truly entered the underground city.

Looking around, the area was filled with buildings, with cluttered roads and no planning whatsoever, and each building was dark as though unoccupied, yet various noises echoed out.

Li Zhirui walked among them, easily identifiable as a first-timer in the underground city, thus attracting some malevolent stares from the shadows.

Even though he did not hide his own cultivation, he couldn’t deter those people.

In this chaotic underground city, let alone a Lianxu Cultivator dying, even those in Integration or Mahayana stages would go unnoticed.

As long as one wasn’t a disciple of the Yuan Sect, it was fine, after all, the greatest authority in the underground city was the Yuan Sect!

Li Zhirui walked into a random shop marked with the symbol for pills, where only a gaunt old crone lay in a rocking chair, who neither got up nor greeted him, completely indifferent to the customer’s feelings.

But in his eyes, this seemingly feeble old crone contained an extremely terrifying energy inside her, able to crush him effortlessly.

Thus, Li Zhirui also didn’t dare to speak, quietly examining the shop filled with disorderly arranged Jade Vials and Pill Recipe Jade Slips.

When he spotted an Eighth Grade Pill Recipe, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to see what type of Precious Pill it was, when the elder suddenly spoke, ”Young man, don’t aim too high; that’s not for you to see.”

Li Zhirui paused, respectfully replying, ”Senior is right in teaching.”

With that said, he no longer dared to look at those high-grade pill recipes and could only sift through the cluttered Jade Slips for Sixth Order and below pill recipes.

Though he only saw very brief introductions, by the time Li Zhirui finished reviewing them, more than an hour had passed, showing just how many pill recipes the shop had.

Closing his eyes to recall all the pill recipes once again, Li Zhirui spoke out, ”May I ask, senior, how many Spirit Stones for these three pill recipes: Purple Qi Pill, Flower Skin Pill, and Beauty Pill.”

Choosing only the cultivation-related Sixth Grade Purple Qi Pill recipe was because the Li family had all necessary Spiritual Objects; once they had the pill recipe, he could start making it.

The Flower Skin Pill and the Beauty Pill, which were of no use for cultivation and were merely Spirit Pills, Li Zhirui intended to use to earn Spirit Stones.

Whose Spirit Stones are easiest to earn? Women’s! Children’s! Elderly’s!

What do women care most about? Their own beauty!

Though cultivators nourished by Spiritual Energy are rarely unattractive and their beauty tends to last, they still age slowly.

The Flower Skin Pill not only beautifies and nourishes the skin but also generates a body fragrance when taken frequently; the use of the Beauty Pill is understood just by its name.

Once these two trump cards were played, the Spirit Stones from those female cultivators in the mountains would crazily flow into the Li family!

”I don’t want Spirit Stones, but you must offer three pill recipes that I don’t have in exchange, even if they are as low as First Order as long as they are ingeniously conceived.” The old crone pointed with her finger, and Li Zhirui found himself sitting next to her hand, with a wooden table between them.

When Li Zhirui was forcibly pulled over, he dared not struggle, fearing he might hurt himself, and it was over in a moment.

After calming his mental state slightly, this old crone’s cultivation might not just be in Mahayana but could even be a Tribulation Transcendence expert.

”Senior, how about this set of pill recipes?”

What Li Zhirui brought out, of course, were the Hundred Herbs Pill recipes, from First Order to Fourth Order.

In just a few moments, the old crone spoke, ”Barely acceptable, especially the First Order Pill Recipe, which uses ninety-nine common herbs and one First Order Spiritual Medicine for alchemy. It seems complicated but enables commoners to craft a First Order Spirit Pill.”

”But kid, you must have ascended from some Minor Thousand World, right?”

Li Zhirui’s heart skipped a beat, just about to lie, but his words changed at the last moment, ”Senior, how did you discern that?”

”I’ve spent my life obsessed with alchemy and won’t claim to know all the Spiritual Objects of the Primal Spirit Realm, as the dense Spiritual Energy here can give rise to new Spiritual Objects at any time, but at least I recognize eighty percent.”

The old crone seemed to have received new pill recipes, her mood improved slightly, making her willing to explain further, ”But the recipes you provided, totaling four hundred Spiritual Objects, are completely unknown to me, undoubtedly not from a cultivator of this realm.”
