Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1262 - 582: Mixed Element Valley’s Development After a Century and the Birth of the Contract Scroll

If it were in its prime, the Immortal Prison Hall would not know how many spirit medicines and immortal elixirs it controlled.

Just these cultivation resources alone would be more than enough to easily allow this child to become an immortal.

But now, the Immortal Prison Hall is left with only some magical treasures, and there’s not a single spirit medicine to be found.

However, there’s no help for it.

After all, the Immortal Prison of old was already torn apart long ago.

It even had to flee to the mortal world to survive.

If it had remained in the Immortal Realm, it probably would have disappeared completely.

”No worries, having this kind of treasure is already quite satisfying,”

said Jiang Fan.

”You truly understand the greater good. Once the Immortal Prison is fully restored, you will surely hold an extremely important position, perhaps even become a judge of one of the halls,”

the artifact spirit of the Immortal Prison Hall lamented.

It looked forward to the future growth of this human cultivator before it.

Currently, the Immortal Prison is in dire straits, so it needs a lot of manpower to restore the grandeur of the past.

Let’s start with the mortal world.

When sufficient strength is accumulated, then we can make a return to the Immortal Realm.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Fan was quite speechless, but he didn’t say anything and pretended not to hear.

He never believed in the so-called pie in the sky.

Moreover, given his growth speed, the current Immortal Prison can only offer partial support.

Ultimately, he still must rely on himself to obtain vast cultivation resources.

However, he felt that if he were to undergo another period of seclusion, he should be able to advance to the fourth layer of Integration.

Then he would be a mid-stage Integration cultivator.

After that, he would be able to face more dangers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan chose to go to one of the quiet chambers in the Immortal Prison Hall for cultivation, as its quiet chambers are a cultivation holy land that can accelerate his growth.

......

Time flew by, and soon ten years passed silently.

Although during this time Jiang Fan was always in seclusion for cultivation, the development in other parts of the world did not stop; instead, it accelerated.

Especially the development of the Mixed Element Valley, which is entirely different from over a hundred years ago.

At this moment, the population of the Mixed Element Valley has reached more than five million, almost like a city.

Numerous buildings have been constructed within the valley, and the entire valley is enveloped by a massive barrier array.

Meanwhile, inside the valley, it’s perpetually springtime, incredibly warm, starkly contrasting the outside world.

This is the annual market day of the Mixed Element Valley.

The entire market day lasts for seven days.

People from villages, towns, and other places in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range will use the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman to be transported to the Mixed Element Valley. It’s a highly anticipated event worldwide.

Boom~~

Suddenly, from within a Heaven-Reaching Bridge, cultivators from various places are transported to the Mixed Element Valley from time to time.

At this time, a group of cultivators also arrived in the Mixed Element Valley.

Leading them was Zhang Bai, the village chief of Zhang Family Village, a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator, already one thousand two hundred years old.

He brought more than a dozen villagers from Zhang Family Village to trade in the Mixed Element Valley to acquire the various resources needed by Zhang Family Village.

”Village Chief, is this the famous Mixed Element Valley?”

”Indeed, its reputation is well-deserved. This place is incredibly warm, with no hint of chill.”

”It is said that the valley is shrouded by an array, allowing ordinary people to venture out even during the day.”

”It’s not just during the day; they can go out anytime they want.”

”It’s truly enviable. In Zhang Family Village, we can only head out at night, and even then, at most for five hours. The difference really is staggering.”

”Oh my heavens, they’ve planted a lot of ice crystal trees by the roadside, with so many ice crystal fruits. Doesn’t this mean the people of the Mixed Element Valley don’t need to risk going outside to collect ice crystal fruits? They can get food by merely staying in the valley and can live in comfort without leaving.”

Many villagers from Zhang Family Village were engaged in enthusiastic discussions.

Seeing the situation inside the Mixed Element Valley left them all in awe, akin to Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden; they were complete country bumpkins without any knowledge.

Especially upon seeing so many ice crystal trees by the roadside as ornamental plants, with numerous ice crystal fruits hanging from them, they were all enviously green-faced.

Because this symbolized that the residents of the Mixed Element Valley had completely freed themselves from hunger.

Unlike their Zhang Family Village, which is constantly troubled by food concerns.

If they go a day without working, they run the risk of starving to death.

Compared to the Mixed Element Valley, their Zhang Family Village is simply a slum.

”Alright, shut your mouths immediately.”

”Don’t forget why we’re here in the Mixed Element Valley.”

”We only get a trading opportunity like this once a year.”

”So we really need to cherish it.”

”Through this trade, we might be able to obtain food for Zhang Family Village for an entire year.”

Village Chief Zhang Bai spoke sternly, looking at the people around him.

He brought these people here in hopes that they familiarize themselves with the Mixed Element Valley over time.

After all, he couldn’t be the only one coming every time the market is held.

Moreover, he too would face the end of his lifespan, so he needed to groom successors.

These individuals are the backbone of Zhang Family Village.

The future of the village’s development depends on them.

”The Village Chief is right, we can’t afford to be careless.”
