Mysterious mirror hanging high

A few months later, a Nascent Soul cultivator piloted a giant spirit boat and landed in front of a towering immortal city.

"This is [Baichuan City]." Jing Yu transformed into Zhao Tuo's appearance, mixed in with the group of cultivators on the spirit boat, and said silently while looking at the fairy city in front of him.

This place is the closest gathering place for cultivators to the wild mines. The city is named [Baichuan]. It is said that a Mahayana cultivator named [Yue Baichuan] lived in seclusion here in the past. Later, more and more low-level cultivators came here to seek immortals and Taoism, and settled here.

Tens of thousands of years passed, and the place where the monks settled gradually grew in scale and evolved into the present day [Baichuan City].

As every time a certain amount of fairy stones were mined from the mine, a batch had to be sent to [Baichuan City] for delivery. In addition, many miners' homes were in the city, so they returned with the supervisors who delivered the fairy stones.

The immortal world of Taixu is far more stable than the lower world. It is said that only those who have cultivated to the [Mahayana Realm] or the [Law of Space] to a very deep level can freely escape into Taixu. Jing Yu and others naturally had to take the spirit boat to travel, but they were delayed on the road for quite some time.

The walls of this fairy city are extremely high, extending to the left and right, and the border is invisible. Jing Yu flew to the city gate with the mining team's spirit boat and saw the three words "Baichuan City" engraved on the plaque on the city gate tower. The strokes were as sharp as swords, and it was obviously the masterpiece of a high-level sword cultivator, which contained extremely profound insights into the way of the sword.

"Huh? Who is it?"

At the city gate stood two yellow-skinned giants over a hundred feet tall, each holding a giant spear that matched their body size, blocking the way of the mining team's spirit boat.

These two yellow-skinned giants look like aliens, but in fact they are genuine human cultivators. They have just practiced a kind of body-refining technique that can make their bodies giant, which is why they have reached their current heights.

Both of them have the cultivation level of Jindan. They are said to have the responsibility of guarding, but in fact they only play a role of facade - after all, no one would expect that an immortal city with Mahayana cultivators in charge would rely on two Jindan guards to protect the city when encountering a powerful enemy.

The Jindan cultivation level is definitely not high in the fairy world, but because of the special body refining technique, these two yellow-skinned giants that are over a hundred feet tall look really majestic. It is no wonder that many high-level cultivators like to place two of them in front of the city gate.

Many cultivators cannot find good jobs. If some of them have talent in body refining, many of them will practice this special body refining technique. At least they can get a gatekeeper position in some immortal cities or sects. The burden is light and the remuneration is generous. It is also a way to make a living.

"Gentlemen, I am affiliated with the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce. The people aboard the Spirit Boat are all miners employed at the Chamber's affiliated mines. Here are my credentials, please review them."

Although the mine manager in charge of delivering the immortal stone goods was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he did not dare to be negligent in front of the two Golden Core guards. He bowed, took out a special badge from his sleeve, and asked the guards to take a close look at it.

"So it's Manager Zhang. Since Manager Zhang is leading the team, it doesn't matter whether the badges are inspected or not. We two brothers will let you pass."

The mine manager of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce rolled up his sleeves and asked curiously, "Is Baichuan City still conducting an investigation?"

"That's natural. Hasn't it been like this for hundreds of years?"

One of the yellow-skinned giants complained, "Some of the wanted criminals in the First Heaven have been on the loose lately, committing major crimes everywhere. It's inevitable that there's some panic everywhere... But from my perspective, there are quite a few masters in the Cave Heaven Realm and Mahayana Realm among these wanted criminals. Not to mention that my brother and I are just two Jindan cultivators, so we can't see through their disguises at all..."

"Even if we see a clue, what can we do? Let's let two Jindan resist the Mahayana? With a monthly salary of a few immortal stones, what do you think we are risking our lives for?"

Manager Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

Another yellow-skinned giant shook his head and said, "Just complaining... When the high-ranking cultivator opens his mouth, I, the lower cultivator, have to run myself to pieces..."

Manager Zhang exchanged a few pleasantries with the two guards before steering the spirit boat into the city gate.

Once inside the city, the scene suddenly changed—

Looking around, the entire Baichuan City was shrouded in dense spiritual mist. Jing Yu took a deep breath and found that the spiritual energy inside the city was at least 30% thicker than outside the city. It was obviously due to the engraving of some spiritual gathering formation.

There are many restaurants on both sides of the main street, and deep in the city, the most conspicuous place stands a gilded pavilion that towers into the clouds. Jing Yu searched Zhao Tuo's memory and learned that this was the place where the lord of Baichuan City practiced in seclusion.

The [Wanjie Chamber of Commerce] they belong to is considered a first-class chamber of commerce in Baichuan City, and it also has its own attic, but with Jing Yu's current identity as a miner, he certainly cannot enter. Manager Zhang was in a hurry to hand over the fairy stones, so he dismissed the miners on the spot and let them go to the city to have some fun, or simply go home to visit relatives.

"Friend Zhao, would you like to go to Chunxiang Tower and have some fun?"

A monk smiled lewdly and elbowed Jing Yu in the lower back.

"Forget it. The girls in Chunxianglou are too delicate and tender to withstand my manipulation." Jing Yu shook his head, said goodbye to everyone, and followed a road he remembered. After turning around in the city, he finally found a dark alley and slipped into it.

This dark alley looks dark and gloomy from the outside, but when you enter it, it suddenly becomes bright.

On both sides of the alley are some unknown shops with half-open doors. Many of them don't even have signs, and it is impossible to tell what kind of business they do from the outside.

This place is similar to the "black market" in "Baichuan City", where some shady things are often sold. There can be some good things among them, but the risks are also high. The origins are unknown, and there may be some tracking marks planted by the original owner. If the new buyer gets it, he may not be able to use it safely for the rest of his life.

Jing Yu casually took out a hat that could block out spiritual prying and put it on his head. He picked a shop, pushed open the door and walked in, looking up and down at the exhibits everywhere. He did not speak for a while and remained silent.

The old man who was watching over the counter looked like he was about to die. The wrinkles on his face were frighteningly deep. He did not hide his spiritual power. It was estimated that he was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. He looked up at Jing Yu who came in, and after realizing that he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he quickly lost interest and continued to doze with his eyes closed.

"Shopkeeper, are you doing business?" Jing Yu asked.

The Yuanying shop owner didn't even bother to raise his head or even lift his eyelids: "Practicing Qi and building the foundation? Have you reached the Golden Core stage of physical training?"

"If the body refining skills are not stimulated, it is difficult to show them normally. The shopkeeper has a keen eye."

Jing Yu smiled and said, "I understand the rules. I'm here to discuss a big deal today."

The Yuanying shop owner rolled his eyes and asked, "What big business? Our shop is a brokerage business, and we also give out rewards. Are you here to ask me to find you a job, or to introduce you to someone? Or are you here to accept a reward?"
