Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Stopping at Qingyue Square

There are five Great Cultivation Lands in the Eastern domain of Xui Country.

They are Heming Mountain, Qingyue Lake, Celestial Terrace Ridge, Bailu Valley, and Withered Leaf Cliff.

Among them, Heming Mountain is located the furthest east, bordering Yue Country.

It is the most powerful among the Five Great Cultivation Lands, and the Cultivation Clan here is the Feng Family, which is also one of the Four Great Clans of Xui Country.

The ancestor of the Feng Family is a powerful cultivator in the Fake Pill Realm.

The Fake Pill Realm is a stage between Foundation Establishment Perfection and the True Pill.

It belongs to the Third Realm of Cultivation, but the Fake Pill Cultivator forms a Fake Pill and has no further possibility of progression in cultivation, essentially cutting off the path.

Even so, Fake Pill Cultivators have a lifespan of five hundred years, equivalent to True Pill Cultivators.

However, their Mana strength is only half that of True Pill Cultivators, though they are still part of the Third Realm.

Suppressing Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators is not a problem for them.

Meanwhile, Celestial Terrace Ridge, Bailu Valley, and Withered Leaf Cliff each have a Foundation Establishment Clan presiding over them, wielding similar power to the Lin Family.

As for Qingyue Lake, it is the closest to the Central domain of Xui Country and the weakest among the five.

The Cultivation Clan here was established less than a hundred years ago, relying on Qingyue Lake with its Spirit Fish breeding techniques, thus known as the Spirit Fish Song Family.

Qingyue Lake covers thousands of miles, with a large mountain stretching hundreds of miles to its north,

One to the east and west each have two Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Veins, unique in the entire Xui Country.

The western one is the territory of the Song Family, while the eastern one was developed by the Song Family into a trade area called Qingyue Square.

If not for the current Patriarch Song’s aunt being the Dao Companion of Master Jin Hong, a True Pill Elder of Cloud Light Sect, a new Foundation Establishment Clan would not have been able to obtain such a prime location.

After all, right now the Song Family only has one Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This day, four figures arrived outside Qingyue Square.

Two men, two women, and an infant in swaddling clothes.

It was Zhou Xun and his companions.

On that day, they escaped from the Ghost Realm, immediately setting off eastwards to flee.

Fearing the influence of the Wu Family and White Cloud Immortal City, Zhou Xun suggested going to a place far from the influence of White Cloud Immortal City.

They crossed Juntian City, and only stopped upon reaching Feiyue Lake to the east.

”Let’s stay in this Qingyue Square for a while,”

looking at the information on Qingyue Square and the Spirit Fish Song Family in his hand, Zhou Xun suggested.

The Spirit Fish Song Family, being less than a hundred years old, had a thin foundation and few family members, thus they were very tolerant of outside cultivators, and their Qingyue Square welcomed all.

With the Song Family’s deep background, ordinary people dared not cause trouble here.

Even Tribulation Cultivators would avoid Qingyue Lake for plundering.

Over time, countless loose cultivators were attracted and settled here, and Qingyue Square became prosperous quickly.

It gained the reputation of being a holy land for loose cultivators and the number one market in the Eastern domain.

At the market entrance, many cultivators came and went, dressed as Confucian scholars, martial artists, even monks, all sorts of styles.

The guards at the entrance ignored the incoming and outgoing cultivators, showing no intention of charging entry fees.

Without this fee barrier, any loose cultivator could enter, boosting the market’s popularity.

Upon entering the market, stalls lined the main road on both sides, filled with all varieties.

Selling elixirs, talismans, Spirit Grass, and Spirit Grain, everything was present.

”Big brother, this Feiyue Square is really bustling!” Wang Erniu exclaimed, dazzled by the sight.

Scenes like this, in Red Leaf Square, could only be found in the East Plaza.

Past the long main road, further inside, there was another gate, and crossing it led to the Inner Workshop.

The Inner Workshop was also very bustling, but instead of stalls, it boasted a variety of splendid shops.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion, very familiar to Zhou Xun, had a branch here as well.

It was even larger than the one in Red Leaf Square.

They arrived at a five-story building covering a hundred meters, dedicated in Feiyue Square to renting Cave Mansions, and shop rentals.

Here, they intended to rent a Cave Mansion.

The eastern slope of Qingyue Mountain had been developed by the Song Family into thousands of Cave Mansions, ranging from the highest Tier Two Low-Grade to the lowest Tier One Low-Grade, everything was available.

Seeing Zhou Xun and his friends enter, a Confucian-style elegant middle-aged man, holding a folding fan, leisurely walked over.

With a gentle smile, he offered a courteous bow, asking:

”Greetings, friends. I am Song Zhishu, the shopkeeper here. May I know if you wish to rent a Cave Mansion or a shop?”

He spoke unhurriedly, with eloquent and refined words, invoking a sense of goodwill.

”Shopkeeper Song, we are here to rent a Cave Mansion!” Zhou Xun replied with a courteous bow, stating their purpose directly.

This Cave Mansion is different from the courtyard they rented in Red Leaf Square.

It was developed along the entire eastern slope of Qingyue Mountain, with a Quiet Chamber, a hall, and even a small Spirit Field Medicine Garden of half an acre.

Some were luxurious, with everything one could wish for: pavilions, flower terraces, plant nurseries, beast gardens, nothing missing.

”I wonder what kind you’d like to rent, with Spirit Land quality from Tier One Low-Grade to Tier Two Middle-Grade, styles ranging from single-person dwellings to suite-rooms for couples or families, even entire mountaintops can be rented!”

”The senior Yuanpu living on the West Peak rented an entire mountaintop for his Cave Mansion!”

The middle-aged man smiled warmly, enthusiastically explaining.

”They have Tier Two Middle-Grade Cave Mansions as well?” Zhou Xun remarked in wonder.

Such Spirit Land is enough to support the daily cultivation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and it is indeed rare to have such offerings for rent here.

After all, in Red Leaf Square, Spirit Land with a concentration of Spiritual Qi above Tier Two is owned by the Four Great Clans and never open to outside cultivators.

”Our Song Family has few descendants and doesn’t use all this Spirit Land, it’s great to rent it out and earn some Spirit Stones!” The middle-aged man chuckled, explaining.

”Your Patriarch is truly foresighted,” Zhou Xun complimented briefly, then continued:

”If we want to rent a Tier One High-Grade Cave Mansion, what would be the price? If it includes an Alchemy Room with earth fire, that would be even better!” Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

”An Alchemy Room? Oh, could it be the friend is an Alchemist? My apologies for being presumptuous!” The middle-aged man brightened at the mention of an Alchemy Room, and his tone became more courteous.

”A mere Tier One Middle-Grade, you flatter me!” Zhou Xun said lightly.

On the way here, Zhou Xun had asked Lin Xueying about refining the Tier One Middle-Grade Elixir, the Clearing Qi Pill, and successfully refined a batch, making him now a genuine Tier One Middle-Grade Alchemist.

”Tier One Middle-Grade! I never expected such youth in an alchemist of your level, my apologies! In fact, for alchemists and talisman masters, we offer discounts on Cave Mansion rentals, at fifty percent for high-level skills. Your Middle-Grade level can be considered at the superior skill rate!”

”In that case, thank you very much!”
