Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Liu Xing said goodbye to Yuehua, took his wife's hand and walked towards the VIP hall.

After walking down a long corridor and turning a corner, a bright, simple and elegant teahouse came into view. Fragrant tea was brewing on the tea table, and the aroma filled the air, making one feel relaxed and happy. Behind the tea table sat a long-bearded Taoist priest, with an immortal appearance and the ability to cultivate to the early stages of the Jindan stage.

"Welcome, fellow Taoists. Please come forward and sit down." The old Taoist greeted them with a smile when he saw Liu Xing and the other two come in.

Liu Xing stepped into the hall and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He sensed that the VIP lounge was heavily restricted, a rather sophisticated place. Conversations or transactions here were quite private, without the worry of being spied on. Liu Xing nodded inwardly and calmly walked towards the coffee table.

"Hello, fellow Taoist. My surname is Liu. My husband and I are new to Guibao Tower. Please give us your guidance." Liu Xing bowed to the old man, then took Nie Xiaoqian's hand and sat casually across from the coffee table.

"The visit of Mr. and Mrs. Liu has brought honor to my humble Mingyue Tower. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar. I am Jingguanzi, and I am honored to be the manager of the VIP room of Mingyue Tower. Could you please give me your VIP card for confirmation? Thank you for your cooperation." The old Taoist with a long beard said as he looked at Liu Xing and the other person.

Seeing the other party's unflinching attitude towards his Jindan cultivation, Jing Guanzi couldn't help but look up to him. Although the other party's cultivation appeared to be only at the Foundation Establishment stage, this must have been concealed. He felt a vague sense of threat. He had been in charge of Mingyue Tower for a long time and had seen countless people. Even now, he remained calm, but his words and actions were more cautious. The face was so unfamiliar, and the means of concealing his cultivation were so sophisticated that he couldn't even detect it. He couldn't act rashly.

"Of course it's fine. Please take a look, fellow Daoist." Liu Xing took out the dark green jade token and handed it to the other party.

The old Taoist with a long beard took it with both hands and injected spiritual energy into it with a special method. The jade card emitted a faint green light, which disappeared in a flash. Liu Xing immediately understood that the VIP card was real and valid. With his attainments as a master of prohibitions, he could figure out the principle of verifying the authenticity of the jade card with a little thought, but he was too lazy to study these trivial matters.

"The VIP card is no problem. Fellow Daoist Liu has come from afar. Please have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue. We can talk slowly and in detail. Please!" The old Taoist with a long beard returned the jade card to Liu Xing, poured fragrant tea for the two of them, and raised his glass to toast them.

"Please, fellow Daoist!" Liu Xing picked up the tea and swallowed it in one gulp seemingly without any precautions. In fact, his powerful spiritual sense had already discovered that there was no hidden trick in the tea.

After traveling for a long time, the two were indeed a little tired. Nie Xiaoqian picked up the tea and took a sip. It was sweet and delicious, and she couldn't help but drink up the tea in the cup.

"Good tea!" Liu Xing put down the teacup and praised.

"You are too kind, Fellow Daoist Liu. However, this Mingqian tea was picked by me, a guest of Mingyue Tower, from a deserted island in the deep sea. It can only be picked once every hundred years, and only a hundred kilograms can be obtained at a time. It is quite rare. I feel deeply honored to have caught the eyes of Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife." The Taoist with a long beard spoke very politely, and it was obvious that he was a worldly-wise master who had experienced the business world for a long time.

After three rounds of tea, Liu Xing and the others felt much better. It was indeed the best tea.

"Manager Jing, I have a shopping list here. Please help me put it together. The price is negotiable." Liu Xing handed the other party a jade slip. The jade slip mainly collected auxiliary materials for the Poison Toad Pill and some other necessities. The demand is huge, and it is a big business.

Taoist Fellow Changxu took the jade slip, put it against his forehead and read it carefully. After reading it, he looked at Liu Xing in surprise.

"Could Fellow Daoist Liu be an alchemist? Most of what he wants are precious elixirs." Jing Guanzi couldn't help but ask.

Liu Xing did not answer, but looked at him with a smile. It was taboo to inquire about the guest's identity.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't blame me. Actually, there are very few alchemists in the Chaos Sea. I lost my composure." After asking this question, the Taoist priest with long beard regretted it. Seeing that Liu Xing did not blame him, he felt a little relieved.

"That's fine, fellow Daoist, how long will it take to gather all these supplies?"

"The inventory at Crescent Island can meet about 60% to 70% of VIP needs. If we want to collect all of it, we need to transfer it from other branches, which will take about a month."

"I don't have time to wait so long. Let's trade the spot goods here."

"As you wish, fellow Taoist. Please wait a moment." The long-bearded Taoist said this, then picked up a sound transmission talisman. His mouth moved slightly, but no sound came out. However, if Liu Xing wanted to, he could easily obtain the Taoist's message, but he didn't. He simply waited silently.

After a while, a beautiful woman came and took the jade slip.

"Manager Jing, I still have some surplus supplies here. I won't entrust two masters with one thing. Let's trade them to Mingyue Tower as well." Liu Xing took out a storage bag and handed it to the old Taoist with long beard.

"You're most welcome." The old Taoist with a long beard responded with a smile and took the storage bag nonchalantly.

Jing Guanzi took a quick look with his spiritual sense and was astonished. The supplies in the storage bag were comparable to those of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Not only were there Level 6 and 7 demon cores and monster materials, but there were also numerous magical artifacts and instruments from both righteous and demonic Jindan masters. He was horrified by the sight, and a glint of greed slipped into the corner of his eye.

Liu Xing suddenly released his spiritual pressure, although it was only for a moment, but Jingguanzi felt like he had walked through the gates of death, his sea of ​​consciousness was struck by lightning, and he broke out in cold sweat.

With a "thump", Jingguanzi fell to his knees and kowtowed continuously.

"Forgive me, Senior. I was blind and coveted Senior Yuanying's supplies. I deserve death! I deserve death!"

The Taoist with long beard was in a very miserable state at this moment. He no longer had the demeanor of an immortal as before. He kowtowed like crazy and begged for mercy continuously.

"Hmph! I'll spare your life this time, deduct the purchase expenses, and exchange the remaining part for high-quality spirit stones. Why don't you get to work quickly?" Liu Xing snorted coldly and scolded.

"Thank you very much for not killing me. I will go and do it myself right away. Please sit for a moment, I will be back soon." Jingguanzi jumped up as if he had been pardoned, and was about to retreat without even wiping the blood off his forehead.

"Wait! Who is the current head of Mingyue Tower on Crescent Moon Island? I need to meet him," Liu Xing ordered. Trading supplies was part of his purpose, but seeking information from a master was his primary objective. To obtain top-level information, one needed a Nascent Soul expert. He had just revealed his aura to intimidate the other party precisely for the purpose of making this request.

"Ah, Senior Wuyazi is currently working on this island. I will inform you right away." Jingguanzi agreed hurriedly. He couldn't wait to leave this place and didn't dare to disobey in the slightest.

"Then get out!" Liu Xing yelled, and with a wave of his hand, a huge force swept the old Taoist away, sweeping him out of the room. Facing Liu Xing's wave, the long-bearded old Taoist was powerless to resist. He once again confirmed that the other party was undoubtedly a Yuanying senior, so he went about his business honestly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
