Chapter 157
The city lord who doesn't want to be the city lord
"Mo Chen, I want to enter the Endless Mountains!"
Yan Qingyan turned to look at Ling Mochen and said something unexpected.
"Huh?" Ling Mochen suddenly stopped flying the sword and looked at Yan Qingyan in surprise.
He didn't think that what Yan Qingyan said meant just entering the outskirts of the Endless Mountains as in the past, but meant crossing the Endless Mountains and reaching the Xuanli Continent on the other side.
There have been powerful people in the Nascent Soul stage who have gone to the depths of the Endless Mountains before, but without exception, they never returned.
There is a lot of miasma and chaotic spiritual energy there. The deeper you go, the more difficult it is to mobilize the body's spiritual power, and it is even more impossible to absorb the spiritual energy around you into your body for cultivation.
"How about this decision? With the Lingquan Space, no matter what the environment in the Endless Mountains is like, there will always be a place to hide." Yan Qingyan clapped her hands, feeling that she had come up with a brilliant idea.
She continued excitedly, "I don't want to blindly seek protection from others. Even if Xue Qianji owes me a favor, I don't want to use it here. It would be better to let him help Qingyang City, so that we don't have to worry about our cultivation."
"Besides, it's not comfortable to have the 'silver' in my pocket always being watched by others. If we can advance to the God Transformation stage, those young cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage won't dare to have any strange thoughts."
If someone at the same level or with lower cultivation than you obtains a treasure, you may want to kill him for the treasure or use intimidation or bribery. But if the person is at a much higher level than you, can a group of ants really dare to kill an elephant?
Ling Mochen looked at her steadily, smiled softly and said, "You go wherever, I'll follow you."
There are many Taoist couples in Tianxuan Realm who have parted ways due to differences in their Taoist philosophy, but he doesn't want that. His Taoist philosophy is to have a place where he can practice with peace of mind, a hobby that he is passionate about, and to pursue the path to immortality with peace of mind and without distraction.
Where Qingyan is, that is where he can practice with peace of mind. The art of alchemy is what he is passionate about.
The world is so vast, and Xuan Gan Continent is just a drop in the ocean. It's good to go out and see the world, but you must not be complacent.
"Since ancient times, if the cultivators who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage in Xuan Gan Continent want to continue to advance to a new realm, they must leave this place. According to the secret scrolls published by the Yinhuang Sect, some people have found a large ancient teleportation array, but no one knows where they were teleported to. Some people went to the Endless Sea, intending to cross the boundless sea of ignorance alone. There are also people, like us now, who decided to go deep into the Endless Mountains and never return..."
Ling Mochen recounted the story of the predecessors' quest for immortality, with emotion in his eyes.
Now, is he going to follow the path of these legendary predecessors?
"Hey Mo Chen, don't worry ~ After a few hundred or thousand years, the two of us will also be 'legendary figures' in the eyes of the younger generations!" Yan Qingyan just thought about what he had encountered in recent days. It was really one trouble after another, but as long as he was not caught, it felt not bad!
This was her impression of the world of immortal cultivation. In addition to the boring hundred-year-long seclusion and meditation, there were also exciting and thrilling battles.
Ling Mochen heard this and smiled softly with his eyes lowered.
He thought that maybe it wouldn't take hundreds or thousands of years, but just a few decades later, they would probably already be "legends" among the cultivators of Xuan Gan Continent.
Whoosh——
The two rays of rainbow light were like a huge rainbow without five colors, extending all the way to the limit.
......
Wangjiang City.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Xue Qianji sat in the middle of the hall, the tea in her hand had already gone cold.
Qianji Pavilion just sent him a message that he will be in trouble today, not a small one.
Xue Qianji frowned and muttered, "What happened today?"
A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage has more or less some premonition of what is about to happen to him, but this time, his premonition was very strange.
Didi——
While he was thinking, his communication jade talisman received a message.
"Huh? It's those two benefactors?!"
Xue Qianji's eyes lit up and she checked quickly.
After a while, he silently put down the jade talisman, with a wonderful expression on his face.
"It turned out to be Ling Mochen and Yan Qingyan, protecting Qingyang City? Hiss——"
Xue Qianji had a complicated expression, he didn't expect that he would inherit the mess of Wanjiang City from his father, which caused him to be trapped in a corner on the path of cultivating immortals. Now, another city has come.
It’s a deserted, shabby place so far away from Wanjiang City.
"Dad? What's bothering you?" Xue Ningshuang saw that Xue Qianji and the other man looked strange. He had never shown this expression since the demise of the Yinhuang Sect.
"It's a long story..."
Xue Qianji was rescued when he was seriously injured, and later found out that the people who saved him were Yan Qingyan and Ling Mochen, two young people with extraordinary luck, and then received a request from these two people...
"I have to repay this favor, but..." This city lord really doesn't want to be a city lord anymore!
Xue Ningshuang knew clearly what kind of person her father was. He just wanted to go out and have fun again. The identity of city lord was really a restriction for a cultivator who loved to explore everywhere.
“Once my cultivation level improves further, I will take over Wanjiang City. However, for the protection of Qingyang City, I can only rely on your name for now.” Xue Ningshuang said.
"That's great! The one who understands me best is Ning Shuang!" Xue Qianji burst into tears.
After so many years, I finally found a successor!
......
Whoosh——
Outside Wanjiang City, Yan Qingyan and Ling Mochen strode into the city.
As soon as they crossed the city gate, the two of them headed towards the cave. The token that could open the cave's restrictions was still lying quietly in their storage ring.
"What the hell! Locusts are crossing the border?!"
As soon as he entered the cave, the scene in front of him was as expected. It had already been turned upside down by the group of people from the Yinhuang Sect.
The corner of Yan Qingyan's mouth twitched. She shouldn't have had too high expectations. Xue Qianji could take these caves back from the Yinhuang Sect, but he would never help to clean them up. At most, he could restore the restriction at the door.
It's still as messy as it should be inside.
Ling Mochen's face didn't look good either, "Do you want to clean it up?"
"Haha~ Never mind."
For some reason, this cave was not as unforgettable to her as it was before.
Is it because someone turned it over?
"Forget it, let's clean it up." Yan Qingyan made a few gestures. It was a very easy task for a cultivator to clean up a cave.
The dust was cleared away and the broken tables and chairs turned into dust.
The spiritual field regained its vitality, and new tables and chairs were installed in each house. The spiritual energy in the cave was purified by the newly replaced medicine, turning from turbid to clear.
Ling Mochen had a smile in his eyes, knowing that Qingyan was nostalgic. Even though she was about to leave Xuan Gan Continent, she did not forget to come back to visit this cave.
After seeing the cave that was renewed with a few spells, he inexplicably thought of Yujiang Village. He hadn't been back there for a long time.
After one stick of incense.
Yan Qingyan originally wanted to restore the situation in the cave to its previous state, but suddenly, she paused and looked in a certain direction with an unfriendly look.
"Qingyan?"
Ling Mochen's eyes darkened. Are those people catching up with us?
"It's time to go." Yan Qingyan said softly.
She had already received Xue Qianji's affirmative response, so there was no need for her to make another special trip to the City Lord's Mansion.
