Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

one month ago.

Zhongdu border.

Although Zhongdu is an extremely prosperous place in this world, the border is still desolate.

in the desert.

Two young men emerged from the sand pile, revealing their dirty heads.

"By the way..."

Qi Wei couldn't stand it any longer and punched the sand. "Why do you insist on me coming to Zhongdu with you?!"

Li Chonglin calmly spat out a mouthful of sand: "Son of Qi, please call me Son of Li."

"I'm your Saint!"

Qi Wei cursed loudly, but it was no use. He could only sit cross-legged on the sand pile and feel depressed.

This damn jealous guy!

Ever since Lu Yuguan left Xuanyu Continent on the Dan League flying boat, Li Chonglin has been in seclusion to hone his sword skills.

Qi Wei originally thought that this guy had no time to participate in the selection of the Son of God, but he didn't expect that he would come out temporarily, with high-level cultivation of the Golden Core Stage and an advanced version of the Golden Dragon Sword Technique, and he actually fought a tie with him.

Looking at Li Chonglin who looked innocent in front of him, Qi Wei felt uncomfortable.

It is said that the battle among the saints is not about killing but about human relations and worldly wisdom. But this reckless fellow is slashing at the neck of this saint with a sword with dragon pattern!

If Taoist Changping hadn't stopped them, the situation would have turned into a lose-lose situation.

Since it was impossible to determine the winner, the leader of Xuanyu Sect proposed to establish two saints, namely the Saint of Mist Qi Wei and the Saint of Gold Li Chonglin.

"Son Qi, how are you?" Li Zhonglin said, shaking off the dust on his body. "This trip to Zhongdu is fraught with danger. We hope we can support each other."

Qi Wei: “…”

What do you think?

Who is coming to Zhongdu?

Who is so insistent on coming to Zhongdu?

Who would lose their appetite if they couldn't see Lu Yuguan, and even come up with such a lame excuse as coming to Zhongdu to complete a mission?

"The mission letter says the sand sea worms are hiding near Sand City," Li Chonglin said, holding the bamboo slips in his hands, his brows furrowed. "We've been lurking all the way here, but there's nothing unusual."

Seeing Li Chonglin's serious face, Qi Wei also calmed down.

indeed.

The border of Zhongdu has always been plagued by monsters, but now there are no monsters within a radius of a hundred miles. It is really strange.

Qi Wei looked around. "Although the Sand Sea Worm is a nocturnal monster, its hearing is extremely sharp. We are traveling such a long distance, so it is reasonable to disturb it."

Li Chonglin was silent for a moment, then drew out the dragon-patterned sword and slashed a stream of sword energy directly at the sand dunes in front of him.

"The Golden Dragon roars!——"

The sword energy was like a dragon, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the desert, crashing into the sand dunes, stirring up yellow sand all over the sky.

Qi Wei was startled, his face suddenly froze: "Are you crazy?"

However, the expected chirping of insects did not come.

It was quiet under the dunes.

Qi Wei frowned, "Strange, where did the sand sea worms hide?"

Li Zhonglin's eyes were solemn as he slowly put away his dragon-patterned sword: "Who knows, they might have all fallen asleep."

"correct……"

"Ok?"

"Sand City is closer to the Dan League, right?"

"..."

Qi Wei's mouth twitched, "This is why you came to Zhongdu, right?"

Li Zhonglin was nonchalant: "So what? I'm not like someone who is heartless and loveless, and who lives a carefree life."

"Am I heartless?"

Qi Wei was furious. "Li Chonglin, stop slandering me."

Li Zhonglin raised his eyebrows: "I have a dual cultivation partner, what about Qi Shengzi?"

"Oh," Qi Wei smiled slyly, "A dual cultivation couple? I don't remember Xiao Lu ever saying that you and him are a couple?"

"Who are you? Do I need to tell you?"

Li Chonglin couldn't help but glance away, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to Qi Wei.

Qi Wei became even more excited when he saw this and jokingly said, "Since Xiao Lu doesn't have a formal Taoist partner, then this Saint Son... also has the right to pursue one, right?"

Li Chonglin stroked the sword and said coldly, "You can try it."

Qi Wei shrugged.

When asked whether he liked Lu Yuguan, Qi Wei himself had no answer.

But when I talk about him, the things we did together in the past always make me feel uncomfortable.

Very itchy.

The kiss at the Mermaid King's ruins might have been the poison that Lu Yuguan had hidden for him.

"By the way, didn't you say there were reinforcements? Are you lying to me, Qi Shengzi?" Li Chonglin asked with a squint.

"What are you talking about, Li Shengzi?"

Qi Wei chuckled, pulled the bone bell from his waist, and swung it three times toward the sky—

In less than a quarter of an hour, a giant bird flew over from the horizon. It turned out to be a Desert Kestrel in the Golden Core Stage!

Qi Wei proudly put his hands on his hips and said, "This is a beast taming woman that I met while traveling around the world. Although her own cultivation is slightly lower, her beast taming skills are superb..."

Li Chonglin looked up.

A heroic female monk jumped down from the bird's back.

"Miss Zi?"

"Li Chonglin?"

Qi Wei was confused: "Do you know each other?"

Zi Xiaoya patted Li Zhonglin on the back cheerfully. "Not bad. I heard you even became a Saint Son in the Xuanyu Sect?"

Li Chonglin said modestly: "It was just luck."

Now it was Qi Wei's turn to feel dizzy.

No.

He asked someone to deliver a letter to the Beast Taming Sect, and the reinforcements he called for actually knew Li Chonglin?

"Brother Qi, long time no see," Zi Xiaoya said with a giggle, "How have you been lately?"

"not bad."

Qi Wei's mouth twitched.

Li Zhonglin looked at Hong Xuan and asked, "During the Nanzhou War, your pet..."

"It's over," Zi Xiaoya turned around and pointed at her new favorite, "This is her eldest nephew."

Li Chonglin: “…”

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Qi Wei interrupted and said, "The sky is covered with yellow sand here. Why don't we go to the Sand City first and then make a long-term plan?"

Zi Xiaoya nodded and used a secret method to shrink the kestrel until it could fit into her clothes.

Li Zhonglin asked in surprise: "Sumeru Dharma?"

"No, they're just some little tricks," Zi Xiaoya waved her hand. "Things like the laws of space are beyond my reach."

Qi Wei smiled and said, "The king of beast control, who was famous throughout the world back then, had a unique skill where he could turn his sleeves into soldiers, and he could defeat thousands of monsters in a moment."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Zi can also master the supreme divine skills."

Zi Xiaoya raised her head and said, "I'll lend you my blessing."

-

Sand city.

This ancient city buried in yellow sand was once an important transportation hub leading to other continents.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the place was invaded by demon cultivators, causing monsters to wreak havoc. Now it has lost its former glory.

"Is this...really a sand city?"

Zi Xiaoya was stunned.

The street in front of him was lifeless. From time to time, a few people passed through the alleys with light steps. When they saw the three people, they immediately lowered their eyes, not daring to look at them.

Qi Wei frowned: "How could this happen..."

Li Chonglin gripped the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "There must be something fishy going on here. We are too abrupt. Let's find a place to ask first."

There is a restaurant on one side of the road.

The half-open carved wooden door creaked in the wind and sand. The dust raised by the three people who stepped in had not yet settled when they were overwhelmed by the dead silence that hit them, making their breath hold.

Spider webs hang precariously between the beams and pillars, and the peeling walls reveal rammed earth bricks.

"Hey!"

"anyone there?"

Zi Xiaoya was not polite at all and shouted at the back room at the top of her voice.

"Cough cough cough..."

The hunchbacked old shopkeeper came out with his back hunched, a greasy rag pinched between his dry, branch-like fingers. His cloudy eyes rolled around twice and then quickly drooped.

"What do the immortals want?"
