1052 Between Conformity and Reversal, All Can Become Immortals (2)
The Yuze prefecture was a remote state under the rule of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect.
The Mystic Spirit Sword Sect had eight states in the Fuyu Immortal World, making them a dominant force in the region. It was said that they had a true main sect in other immortal realms.
The Blood Battle Sect controlled five territories in this realm and was currently in charge of the main sect on a rotating basis. They had the authority to handle the Immortal Ascension Platform.
However, they would soon step down, and the various sects were gradually giving up control of the Immortal Ascension Platform.
It was said that the next sect to take control of the Immortal Ascension Platform had not been fully decided.
The Yunlan Dao Sect held 13 territories and is the dominant force in the Fuyu Immortal World.
However, the Yunlan Dao Sect was not the strongest sect in the Fuyu Immortal World. It occupied the seven territories and used its physical strength to dominate.
Although it was only a state’s territory, the Tianyao School, a large half-demon sect that could pass through the wasteland without any obstruction, was an existence that no one in the Fuyu Immortal World dared to provoke.
The remaining two territories were chaotic and complicated. They were completely controlled by the demons of the wasteland, and cultivators could only sneak in.
The Great Demons were also powerful and not inferior to the major human sects.
After Han Muye left seclusion, he stayed temporarily in a place called Qingyun Town, practicing and meditating every day, or going out for a stroll.
He didn’t go far, just around the town.
Because he carried the Wuyue Sword at his waist, all the external sect cultivators who took on missions would respectfully salute him when they encountered him.
The inheritance of a large sect in the Immortal World was relatively strict. If one wanted to enter a sect, not only did one have to accumulate merit points to exchange for the sect’s cultivation technique, but one also had to cultivate the cultivation technique to a sufficiently strong level and pass the sect’s trial.
Completing various missions, obtaining one or two cultivation techniques, becoming an outer sect disciple of a large sect, and then constantly running around to prepare for the trial test was almost a microcosm of the life of an immortal cultivator.
For those cultivators who had yet to join a large sect, joining a large sect and having someone to rely on for their cultivation was their motivation.
As for those who have already become disciples of a major sect, they have various difficult tasks to complete and need to accumulate various resources in order to cultivate peacefully.
These were the various experiences that Han Muye heard from his conversations with Du Sanzhen, Zhang Yunji, and others.
Cultivation in the Immortal World many worries and troubles, similar to those of ordinary people.
“Uncle-Master Han, the black gold beast they’re going to catch today is considered a specialty of the Fuliang Wasteland.
“This beast is skilled in swallowing clouds and rainbows. It grows in marshy areas, devouring various spiritual materials and immortal medicines, which transform into the essence of the five elements and eventually condense into a piece of black gold brick.”
On a hill, Zhang Yunji stood beside Han Muye and introduced in a low voice.
Black gold was a valuable auxiliary material for refining magical treasures and weapons.
Many cultivators in Qingyun Town accepted missions to hunt black gold beasts and exchange them for merit points and spiritual rocks.
Having stayed in Qingyun Town for half a month, Han Muye has gained favor from various parties due to his generous actions and formidable sword cultivation.
Due to Han Muye’s guidance, Zhang Yunji’s sword techniques had improved a lot, and he was even more respectful to Han Muye.
Today, he was invited by several outer sect Junior Brothers to take charge and invited Han Muye to join them.
As long as they took charge, they would have a share in capturing the black gold beast.
Although Han Muye might not like this benefit, it was always about camaraderie.
Han Muye looked down the hill where five outer sect disciples of Mystic Spirit Sword Sect stood in formation, each holding a long sword, enclosing a marshy swamp with a radius of no more than 100 feet.
In front of them, there were more than 10 cultivators wielding knives and swords, with various talismans emitting flickering blue light, cautiously investigating.
These people were from the outer sect who had accepted the mission.
Han Muye saw that Du Sanzhen, who had come to look for him many times in Qingyun Town and chatted with him a few times, was also among them.
Today’s mission was considered simple. It was basically a free merit. It seemed that Du Sanzhen had also gotten along much better because of him.
“Buzz!”
A slender cultivator dressed in a green Daoist robe raised his hand, and a golden talisman turned into a net, hanging in the air.
Three cultivators around him formed hand seals, and golden arrows shot into the mud swamp.
“Bang!”
The mud swamp exploded, and a three-foot-tall grayish-green beast covered in mud burst out, its alert eyes scanning the surroundings.
It had a body covered in dark gray scales resembling large copper coins, emitting a dull halo. Its head resembled a black rat, its tail like a long snake, and it had sharp claws and a slender, pointed tongue.
Black Gold Beast.
That was the target of this hunting expedition.
Although it appeared small, its scales provided strong defense, and its value was second only to the black gold brick it produced.
In this hunting expedition, the disciples of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect only took the black gold brick, while the scales of the Black Gold Beast served as rewards for the outer sect disciples.
This set of scales could be exchanged for nearly 100 merit points.
Peeling off these scales could be exchanged for nearly a hundred spiritual rocks.
Although the immortal qi contained within these spiritual rocks was limited, they solidified into tangible form, and absorbing them was faster than cultivating through meditation and breath control. They were the common currency in the Immortal World.
100 spiritual rocks could sustain a cultivator in the Golden Core realm for a couple of months. Even if divided among a dozen or so people, each person would have enough for three to five days.
Han Muye also had some spiritual rocks in his hands, but for him, he didn’t need to use them for cultivation. He simply treated them as pocket money.
The main reason he joined Zhang Yunji and the others in hunting the Black Gold Beast was to observe the attacking methods in the Immortal World.
Seeing those recorded scenes in his memories was not the same as experiencing them firsthand.
“Roar—”
The golden net descended, and the black gold beast let out a roar. Waves of black light emerged around its body, transforming into sharp blades as it broke through the net and slashed at its surroundings.
The cultivators were well-prepared, and various magical techniques turned into protective barriers in front of them, blocking the blades.
In the rear, Du Sanzhen and the others acted in an orderly manner, launching sword lights and magical techniques. They pierced through the barriers and struck the black gold beast.
