Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 108 Technician Census

It is normal for the world of cultivation to be constantly changing.

After all, there are situations where one person has great power.

However, as an industry owned by a powerful force, the Immortal City is more stable, and even if it changes, the timeline is very long, and ordinary people with short lifespans may not be able to feel it.

Based on the limited information, Li Ji'an deduced that even if the Biyun Sect made any moves, it would not affect the safety of the Jinhuang Immortal City. Even if the Biyun Sect fell, the Immortal City would not fall. After all, the combined forces in the Immortal City were definitely not weaker than the Biyun Sect.

At worst, the many forces in the Immortal City are the wind vanes. Unless they all start to run away, there will be a real crisis.

Of course, if there is a better, safer and more stable place to stay, he will naturally go there.

He had only been in the Immortal City for a year, and by paying to browse the ancient books in the Immortal City and listening to the information from the guests from all directions at the Taiping Inn, he had basically figured out the general situation of this world.

The Biyun Sect is located in Cangyun Prefecture, a state in the southern part of Tiancang Domain. To the north of Cangyun Prefecture is Tianyuan Prefecture, the core state of Tiancang Domain. To the northeast of Tianyuan Prefecture is Daoyuan Prefecture, one of the three states in Tiancang Domain.

The three states make up the Tiancang Realm, however, the Tiancang Realm is only a part of the cultivation world in this great lake.

There are more than a dozen cultivation areas like Tiancang Realm in the Daze cultivation world.

However, most of them are isolated by natural barriers, boundless spiritual barren lands, or even abandoned lands, and cultivators below the Jindan stage find it difficult to cross them with their own magic power.

The violent desert at the southernmost end of the Tiancang Domain also separates it from another cultivation domain called Xuanxiao further south.

The three states within the Tiancang area are almost all natural barriers and spiritual barren lands, but they are relatively easy to cross. The division between Cangyun State and Tianyuan State is based on a branch of the Daze Mountain Range that is said to span the entire Daze cultivation world. Many places have been opened up, and foundation-building cultivators can pass through without any worries. As for Qi-cultivating cultivators, if they are lucky and don't encounter second-level monsters, they can also pass through.

Therefore, considering Li Ji'an's current situation, Jinhuang Immortal City is still the best choice.

He quickly calmed down and continued to move forward steadily.

This year, in order to break through to the late stage of Qi training, the progress of talismans was not great.

Now that he has been promoted to the late stage, his magic power has greatly increased, especially his spiritual consciousness has taken a step forward. It is time to improve his talismans. With his current understanding of talismans, even if he is in the late stage of Qi training, as long as his spiritual consciousness reaches the foundation-building stage, he can theoretically draw a second-level talisman.

The second-level talisman is equivalent to the foundation-building period.

It is the biggest trump card he can expect at this stage.

Half a month later, Shopkeeper Wu sent a message to Li Ji'an to go to the main square to attend the ceremony.

"Handsome uncle." Just as he walked out of the hospital gate, a soft voice came. Li Ji'an turned his head to look at Xiao Qiao, who was already six years old.

During this year, Granny You came to buy pills every month. After observing her several times in a row, Li Ji ruled out the possibility that she had ulterior motives.

During this period, I invited him back once to ask for advice on the basics of formations.

After a few interactions, Xiao Qiao was no longer as wary of Li Ji'an as she was at first.

However, this child is honest and only speaks the truth, including the way he addresses others.

"Friend You, Xiao Qiao."

"What a coincidence, Master Li Dan, you are going out too?" Grandma You greeted with a smile.

Li Ji'an smiled and nodded.

Then the three of them walked out of the alley together.

Along the way, the two chatted easily as usual.

Although these words are meaningless, they are very relaxing.

"Hey, Master Li Dan, are you going to the main city square too?" Granny You gently reminded Li Ji'an a little way out of the alley, worried that Li Ji'an might have taken the wrong road because of talking to her. Li Ji'an nodded, "Fellow Daoist You, are you going to the main city square too?"

There was a strange look in Grandma You's eyes, and she was a little surprised.

After all, they had been together for a year, especially at the beginning. Li Ji'an was only a sixth-level Qi training alchemist. Theoretically, he should not be able to become a first-level senior alchemist. After all, at such an age, his alchemy fire should not be sufficient. At most, he was just a relatively honest mid-level alchemist.

Every time she paid Li Ji'an the price for the pills, she paid a little more than the price of a mid-level alchemist. In her opinion, this was taking care of Li Ji'an's business.

Li Ji'an also laughed a little. There were fewer formation masters in the Immortal City, and the formation masters earned high profits for each formation they set up, and the continuous maintenance income was considerable. So he thought that since Granny You rented a house next to him, she should not be a particularly outstanding formation master. After all, several famous formation masters in the Immortal City rented large houses closer to the inner city.

Soon after, the three of them arrived at the main square and were invited to the stage.

"Third place! A first-class master of fine medicine! Master Li, I am so short-sighted. I am embarrassed and ashamed."

"I never thought that Fellow Daoist You is actually a senior formation master. I, Li, have neglected him."

Li Ji'an was indeed surprised that Grandma You was a first-class senior formation master and ranked first among the independent cultivators in the entire Immortal City.

Looking back on the past year, Granny You had offered to help Li Ji'an repair the courtyard protection magic circle several times, but Li Ji'an refused. At that time, he was indeed a little worried that he would accidentally damage the magic circle and the fairy city management would have to compensate him.

Of course, at first, it was because of doubts about his identity and concerns that he might be doing something wrong.

It has to be said that this technician selection ceremony has brought many low-key technicians to the surface.

Li Ji'an and Grandma You were not particularly unexpected.

There was one puppeteer who astonished many people. He had only reached the ninth level of Qi training, but with his extraordinary spirit and soul, he had already become a second-level puppeteer.

The second-level puppet is on par with the foundation-building cultivators, and because of the special nature of the puppet, it can almost ignore 99% of the poisonous means, and does not have the fear and pain of humans. When a real fight breaks out, ordinary foundation-building cultivators have to retreat. It is a real killer.

However, Li Ji'an estimated that there were many hidden talents in the Immortal City, and those that had been exposed were definitely not all.

Perhaps there are technicians who are particularly cautious and would rather make less profit, perhaps because of enemies or other reasons, but are determined not to trade with shops or markets, and only trade with individuals in secret.

In this case, even with the census method of Xiancheng, it will definitely not be found.

After returning from the ceremony, both Li Ji'an and Grandma You welcomed many visitors.

Li Ji'an has the most.

This technician census also has a benefit for Li Ji'an. If anything happens to Danding Pavilion in the future, he will have a lot of customers. Even with his current fame, the income may not be less than if he cooperated with Danding Pavilion.

He had no enemies, nor did he have anything shameful to do. His progress in alchemy was traceable. At the very least, there was the book "Li's Alchemy Biography" to prove that Laozi had a natural talent for alchemy, and it was reasonable for him to pass it on to his son.

As he had more private clients, Li Ji'an often made pills continuously, and he didn't have to worry as much as before about being misunderstood by Danding Pavilion if the quantity was too large.

Anyway, nowadays, half of the pills are delivered to Danding Pavilion and the other half are sold to private customers. If there is no delay, the profits will naturally double.

In the following time, due to the increase in income and abundant resources, he practiced both cultivation and talismans, and became more and more proficient.

In a blink of an eye, six years have passed.

On this day, a piece of news made him a little worried.

Six years have passed since the first technician census. There seems to be no difference in these six years, and it is held normally every year.

However, just now, Grandma You from next door came to say goodbye.

The elder of Biyun Sect came to invite him personally.
