The original repairer

Chapter 74 Closing the City

In less than thirty breaths, Ling Feifei, the lord of the Poison Pond Fairy City, appeared at the edge of the pond. She jumped into the water without hesitation and headed towards the water cave where Shi Chen had just come out.

Less than ten breaths later, she emerged from the water, carrying a figure in her left hand. This figure was none other than the cultivator Shi Chen had encountered in the water. She then quickly searched the mist for other cultivators, asking them to identify each one she encountered.

Shi Chen walked very hurriedly in the mist. If flying was not prohibited in the mist area of Thousand Poison Pond, he would have immediately taken off on his sword and disappeared in an instant.

He knew very well that the formation restriction at the entrance of the water cave had been triggered, and the person who set it up would arrive soon, and he would be arrested.

Unfortunately, just as he emerged from the cave, he ran into a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. The difference in their cultivation levels was significant, and Shi Chen wasn't sure he could defeat or control the other cultivator in a matter of seconds. He could only trick him and then flee.

Fortunately, he had changed his appearance before coming out, and no one saw his true face, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

It goes without saying that after he left, the cultivator in the late foundation-building stage would definitely enter the water cave to check it out, and then be captured by the boss who set up the formation and restriction, and be forced to give up Shi Chen.

Ling Feifei took the monk into the water mist area to search. Shi Chen just walked out of the water mist area, and then he summoned his flying sword and flew away.

He didn't dare hide near the Thousand Poison Pond. As long as the order was given to seal off the pond and search it carefully, he would still be caught.

If he doesn't have the chance to return to the secret realm of the Monster Skin Cave, what awaits him is soul-searching and spirit-stealing.

After flying over ten miles, Shi Chen checked the surrounding area within a radius of two or three miles, but saw no other cultivators. He landed in a forest, used the Earth Escape Technique to descend to a depth of more than five feet, and created a space where he removed his disguise and changed into a different appearance.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Chen escaped to the ground. He looked very different now. His clothes were now blue and white, his skin was pale, and he held a folding fan in his hand. His eyes were dull, his face looked sickly, and his lips were pale.

Just like a young man who indulged in excessive sexual activities, his cultivation level was revealed to be perfect through the Small Five Elements Concealment Technique.

The fastest way to leave this place is through the teleportation array, which can directly teleport you to the various immortal cities of Qianjue Sect. The second option is to take a caravan flying boat.

The north gate of the Poison Pond Immortal City is closest to the Thousand Poison Pond. At this time, there are long queues of cultivators who want to enter the city and cultivators who want to leave the city.

Normally, there were no gate guards checking in and out of the Immortal City. However, two teams of cultivators, each one a member of whom had reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, now stood guard at the gate. Every cultivator entering or leaving was required to undergo a spiritual sense scan and answer a few questions.

Shi Chen remained unfazed. Even a Jindan cultivator, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would have difficulty seeing through his disguise if they hadn't practiced the Minor Five Elements Concealment Technique. Only a cultivator in the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage, whose spiritual awareness was several times stronger than Shi Chen's, would be able to detect him.

Shi Chen handed the guard monk who had reached Perfect Foundation Establishment a small bag of spirit stones, about twenty in total, and then asked quietly, "Senior, I've been to Poison Pond Immortal City many times, and there has never been such an inspection before. Why is the inspection so strict this time?"

The cultivator who had reached Perfect Foundation Establishment squeezed the bag, smiled smugly, and said to Shi Chen, "You're so insightful, you should know that in recent years, unusual phenomena have occurred repeatedly in the Thousand Poison Pond. Perhaps the higher-ups have discovered something, and as a result, they've been extremely strict with the inspections of cultivators entering and leaving. The Thousand Poison Pond, which was just unsealed earlier this year, may be sealed again. Don't go there unless necessary."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Shi Chen said with his hands clasped.

After entering the fairy city, I found that the monks were patrolling the city roads frequently. There were very few monks coming and going. Some city roads were even empty and there were no monks walking around.

Shi Chen went straight to the teleportation array and was told that it was out of service and required seven days of maintenance.

Then he went to the merchant ship dock and received a notice that all ships would be grounded for seven days.

He hurried to the city gate, ready to leave the immortal city and head for another one alone. Arriving at the city gate, he discovered that many cultivators had already gathered inside. After asking around, he learned that the immortal city had been sealed off half an hour earlier, with only entry and no exit.

It was just the time Shi Chen entered the Immortal City to take the teleportation array. Looking at the Jindan cultivator guarding the city gate, he had no choice but to leave first to avoid any conflict or disturbance that might affect him.

In desperation, he temporarily stayed at the Immortal Inn in the Poison Pond Immortal City.

Every day, he wandered around restaurants, teahouses, and markets. Various rumors circulated, some claiming the Thousand Poison Pond treasure had been taken and was hidden in the Immortal City; some claiming the Immortal City Lord had captured the inheritor; and some claiming the Thousand Poison Pond treasure had been discovered, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to obtain it, and the search for that person was on.

Rumors spread everywhere, and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false, so the low-level cultivators just watched the fun.

The atmosphere among cultivators who have completed Qi training and those who have established their foundation is relatively tense. The cultivators who have returned from the Thousand Poison Pond all said that the Thousand Poison Pond has now become a restricted area. Half of the cultivator army in the Immortal City is blocking it there. There are restrictions on entry and exit, and body searches and questioning have become the norm.

After waiting for seven days, they arrived at the teleportation array. Many monks were already waiting there, but unfortunately the teleportation array still could not deliver any more cultivators. A new sign was hung up, saying that the teleportation array needed repairs and another three days of work before it could be used again.

When I arrived at the caravan flying boat, the jade token for riding was already on sale, but it was only available for three days of pre-sale.

Shi Chen bought a pre-sale jade token, hoping to leave as soon as possible. The Poison Pond Fairy City is currently a place of trouble, and there might be a fight between big guys at any time. Unfortunately, he cannot leave the city now.

When leaving the city, not only will your entire body be scanned by divine sense, but all your storage equipment will also be checked.

Many monks have their own little secrets, and it is impossible for them to allow others to scan their entire bodies and check the contents of their storage magic weapons. Therefore, disputes often occur at the city gates. The monks refuse to be forcibly searched and are besieged by the guarding monks.

On the ninth night of my temporary stay at the Immortal Inn, there was a sudden commotion in the Immortal City.

The low-level immortal inns and low-grade cave dwellings in the outer circle of the immortal city were forcibly broken into and searched by the immortal city's monk army, and chaos was everywhere.

Half an hour later, the search began to shrink into the fairy city and gradually advance towards the city lord's mansion in the middle.

The fairy inn where Shi Chen lived was five or six miles away from the west gate of the fairy city and was in the inner circle of the fairy city. According to the speed of the search, it would take another half an hour for it to be his turn.

At this time, the four gates of the fairy city have been closed, the fairy city's city defense formation has been activated, and the entire fairy city is shrouded in the formation.

This immortal city is a border town of Qianjue Sect, close to Qingxuan Sect, and the closest distance to the sect boundary is about 1,700 to 1,800 miles.

The fairy city's defense formation includes the fifth-level Four Symbols Guarding Formation, the fifth-level Seven Star Thousand Swords Attack Formation, the fourth-level Forbidden Sky Formation, the fourth-level Conferred God Formation, and the fourth-level Forbidden Land Formation.

The five great formations transformed the Immortal City into a city that could be attacked and defended, with air defenses, land, and spiritual consciousness prohibited.

The five major formations of the Immortal City are activated, and the city lord controls everything in the Immortal City.

The activation of the five formations consumes thousands of spirit stones from the Immortal City every quarter of an hour.

Shi Chen was very anxious. His storage ring contained monster skins, a three-legged, round-bellied, square-lidded stove, and even worse, some top-grade foundation-building elixirs.

As long as people knew that he had a top-grade foundation-building pill, cultivators from the entire fairy city might flock to him, and eventually he would be imprisoned by a sect or a large family.

When we arrived at the lobby of the Xianzhan, it was filled with monks who were temporarily staying there, most of them were in groups of three or four.
