“Master, I’ve been to Red Forest City once before with my fellow disciples from the sect.”
I remember that the Duxianju in the city was the best inn, with an extremely high concentration of spiritual energy, making it suitable for temporary stays or for secluded cultivation.
"Do you think we should first go to the Lone Immortal Abode established by the Spirit Elephant Sect? Or should we first purchase the essence blood of a third-tier demon beast?"
Chen Dacai stepped into the city with a happy expression. He looked around for a while before speaking to Lin Xiaofei.
"Isn't this Red Forest your Qingyun Sect's territory? How come there are Lingxiang Sect's forces here?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled, stopped in his tracks, and calmly asked.
When he was in the City of Mist, he fought a major battle with several disciples of the Spirit Elephant Sect and even killed someone, which meant he had offended the Spirit Elephant Sect.
Now, upon hearing Chen Dacai mention the presence of the Lingxiang Sect within Honglin City, he felt a moment of hesitation.
If he were to encounter someone from the Spirit Elephant Sect, it would be difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't be noticed and subsequently come after him.
Although he currently possesses the strength of a peak Golden Core cultivator, he would be no match for a Nascent Soul cultivator if his opponent were to appear.
“Master, this Red Forest City is indeed the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect.”
However, Red Forest City is a huge city, surrounded by mountains rich in spiritual plants and monsters, so many cultivators come here in search of resources.
The Lingxiang Sect saw an opportunity to profit here, especially since the Qingyun Sect was originally a major subordinate sect of the Lingxiang Sect.
Therefore, it is quite normal for the Lingxiang Sect to open a large shop here.
Moreover, there are other forces within this city, such as the Beast-Loving Sect, which is comparable to the Spirit Elephant Sect.
It is said that the Beast Devouring Sect has about twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, two to three hundred Golden Core cultivators, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, making it a super-large cultivation sect.
However, the Beast Devouring Sect's power in this city is controlled by a few Golden Core cultivators.
They set up a market to collect the corpses of second-tier and higher demonic beasts, and to issue quests. Disciples of any faction could accept quests issued by the Beast Devouring Sect.
You will receive a reward once you complete the task.
Chen Dacai explained.
"I see.
However, I'm a little curious: does the Spirit Elephant Sect's Solitary Immortal Abode have a Nascent Soul cultivator stationed there?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei nodded and asked softly.
“Master, Nascent Soul cultivators are generally beings of extraordinary status. Unless there is a specific reason, it is impossible for them to come to a city.”
In my sect, Qingyun Sect, there are only two Nascent Soul cultivators: the sect leader and a supreme elder. People like them are probably busy with closed-door cultivation within the sect.
Chen Dacai said with a smile.
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei nodded, secretly relieved.
Knowing that there were no Nascent Soul cultivators from the Spirit Elephant Sect guarding the Duxian Residence in the city, he immediately felt no tension. As long as no Nascent Soul cultivators from the Spirit Elephant Sect appeared, he had nothing to fear with his current strength.
After walking a few steps, Lin Xiaofei thought for a moment. To avoid being overheard by the Lingxiang Sect members, he said to Chen Dacai:
Da Cai, let's go to the market run by the Beast Devouring Sect and buy some essence blood from third-tier demonic beasts first.
Also, from today onwards, whenever there are other people around, do not call me Master; address me directly as Black God Immortal.
Hei Shen Zhenren (Black God Immortal) named himself after his natal Black God Sword, simply for convenience.
"ah?"
Chen Dacai was taken aback at first, then said:
"Master, addressing you directly as Black God True Man is extremely disrespectful; it's inappropriate."
“Talented man, I have enemies in this Red Forest City. Moreover, my enemies are so powerful that even your Qingyun Sect cannot afford to offend them. If they discover that you and I are master and disciple, be careful that they might attack you.”
"Don't blame me for not being able to protect you then."
Lin Xiaofei said.
"They can't even afford to offend the Qingyun Sect?"
Chen Dacai was slightly puzzled, his expression changed slightly, and he felt a little nervous. He said directly:
"Master, if we enter the city so openly, what if we run into your enemies? Although they won't make a move in the city, what if we get targeted?"
"That's why I had you call me the Black God Immortal, and then I disguised myself a little to avoid bringing trouble upon you."
With that, Lin Xiaofei headed towards the Beast Devouring Sect.
Walking on the wide street, one can see tall, ancient, and magnificent buildings standing on both sides of the street, with a large number of pedestrians going in and out of the various building complexes.
Lin Xiaofei sensed the concentration of spiritual energy floating around him, took a deep breath, and felt very comfortable. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
The concentration of spiritual energy here is so high that if a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining stayed here, they could probably reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in a year.
The cultivators here are almost all at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment cultivators are everywhere.
This is truly a wonderful place for cultivation.
Walking through the streets, looking at the ancient buildings and the many cultivators, the two soon arrived in front of a huge market.
Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at a golden plaque above the market. The plaque had several large characters written on it: "Lone Beast Market".
"Master, we have arrived at the market of the Beast Devouring Sect."
Chen Dacai said with a smile.
"Da Cai, have you forgotten?"
Lin Xiaofei quickly reminded him.
"Master Black God, I made a mistake and called you by the wrong title just now."
Chen Dacai was taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and hurriedly said.
"Alright, let's go in."
With that, Lin Xiaofei went straight inside.
This time, he came to Red Forest City for two reasons: first, to purchase the essence blood of third-tier demonic beasts in order to cultivate great supernatural powers; and second, to travel around and see if he could obtain some cultivation resources.
Upon entering the Beast Market, one finds a vast interior space with over ten counters.
Many of the cultivators among them walked around, stopping frequently to purchase treasures.
At a glance, two-thirds of the cultivators were at the peak of Foundation Establishment or the early stage of Golden Core, while the remaining cultivators were at the mid-stage or late-stage of Golden Core, with only one or two at the peak of Golden Core.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and saw a huge counter in the very center where some people were making transactions.
At the counter on the far left, a group of people were gathered, but no one was making a transaction; instead, they were discussing something.
“Master Guishan, this time our mission is to hunt a third-tier demon beast. With your timid nature, you should come hunt with us next time.”
A tall, middle-aged cultivator spoke in a loud voice, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear him.
"snort!
Although I am a bit timid, aren't we outnumbered and powerful?
With seven or eight experts like you here, why would I be afraid of a mere third-tier demonic beast? Anyway, I'm going to participate in this mission."
Master Guishan snorted coldly, raised his chin, and said arrogantly.
