Xuanxing is vast. Based on its sphere of influence, Xuanxing is divided into the Eastern Region and the Western Region. The Eastern Region is mainly inhabited by human cultivators, while the Western Region is mostly inhabited by demon and monster cultivators. The two regions are separated by a protective barrier and generally do not communicate with each other.
In the Eastern Region, Xuanyu City, one of the largest human cities on Xuanxing, is known as one of the five major human cities along with Tianguan, Yutian City, Hanwu City, and Xingcheng. It is located in the east, west, south, north, and center respectively.
"The Mysterious God of the Nine Heavens, the City of Jade, is a place of great beauty and warmth." This is how people praise the Mysterious Jade City. The entire city is basically made of jade, which keeps it warm in winter and cool in summer. The Jade God holds a position in the city like a god of the nine heavens.
However, the main reason for naming it Xuanyu City is that Xuanyu Mountain is located in the center of the city.
According to the storyteller, Xuanyu City was originally just a small village. Until one day, a majestic mountain range came from the heavens, bringing a large amount of jade. As if by magic, the jade was inexhaustible, and it developed into the magnificent Jade City we know today.
Later, the Xuanyu Sect gradually appeared on Xuanyu Mountain, and like-minded people from all over the world gathered here, determined to develop and expand it.
Thanks to the continuous efforts of our predecessors, the Xuanyu Sect has become one of the top ten human sects on Xuanxing.
Xuanyu City is very large; even a cultivator with high cultivation level would need half a day to cross it.
Five years later, Ye Hao and his family of three settled down in a small town on the outskirts of Xuanyu City.
Ye Hao sat under the tree in front of the door, and Lu Yeling leaned on his shoulder, reminiscing about the bits and pieces that had happened over the past five years.
Back when they first arrived, Ye Hao had to go to Xuanyu City every day to do manual labor to earn money for living expenses and baby formula, while Lu Yeling had to carry the baby and help the landlady wash dishes to pay for the rent.
The two of them were extremely worried every day. After finishing their work during the day, they would go straight to sleep. After all, neither of them had ever experienced such a life before, and for them, it was much more difficult than cultivation.
Everything changed when an old immortal passing by saw the flying artifact that Ye Hao had tied to his wrist as decoration, more than a month later.
"Young friend, could you please answer my question? Where did you get those beads on your wrist?" An elderly immortal passing by asked with a smile, pointing at the magical artifact.
On the Heavenly Spirit Continent, Ye Hao cultivated for forty years, and with the nourishment of spiritual energy, even now, having lost his cultivation, he still looks like he's in his twenties. A simple "young friend" is perfectly appropriate.
Ye Hao was unwilling to reveal the true origin of the bead, fearing he would be seen as an outsider, so he gave a common answer: "This bead? It seems to be a family heirloom."
The old immortal clearly had no doubts and continued to press for answers.
"I wonder if you would be willing to part with this bead, young friend? To be honest, it's probably a magical artifact, or perhaps it has a special purpose."
"But if we're only talking about its uses, I might not care too much. The design and structure are truly ingenious, and I love studying these mechanical marvels. I wonder if you could give it to me?"
The old immortal spoke slowly and sincerely, which was enough to show that he was willing to admit that the bead was a spiritual artifact, rather than just trying to deceive Ye Hao.
After listening to the old man's words, Ye Hao pondered, not because the magic weapon was particularly valuable.
There are still a lot of such magical artifacts in my storage ring at home, but now that I have lost all my cultivation, I can't open them.
His storage ring was unusual; it was clearly not a cheap item, so he usually didn't carry it with him when he went out.
The main reason is that his own blood was dripped into the creation of the ritual artifact, so only he could open it. If the old man got his hands on it, it would be of little use to him.
"Young friend, is there something you're worried about?" the old man asked, looking at Ye Hao who was deep in thought.
"How about this," the old man said sincerely to Ye Hao, "I hold a position in the Xuanyu Sect. I see that you have an extraordinary appearance, and you must be feeling down about your current situation. If you're willing, you can come to my Xuanyu Sect to cultivate."
Ye Hao saw through the old man's sincerity and was no longer willing to deceive him. "Senior is joking. I'm just afraid that my bead has been in disrepair for many years and no longer has the same function as before."
"Oh, don't say that. Since I'm willing to buy it, whether it's good or bad is my business. What does it have to do with you, young friend? Just say yes or no."
Ye Hao thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
"Alright, then I'll let you have it, senior. As for the price, it's up to you. I'll pass on the Xuan Yu cultivation."
"How can that be? You've already agreed. If you don't want to come, you can have your descendants come after you get married, or other collateral branches of the family. This is a jade pendant. Within a hundred years, you can come directly to me with this jade pendant and I'll make arrangements for you." The old man took out a piece of emerald green jade pendant and stuffed it into Ye Hao's hand.
After listening to the old immortal's words, Ye Hao thought of Xiao Xin. Although he could also teach the child martial arts and such.
Although the two worlds are different, they both rely on spiritual energy for cultivation, so their cultivation methods are basically the same.
However, joining a sect is definitely an excellent way to engage with the world; you can't have your child always by your side.
Thinking of this, Ye Hao no longer refused and took the magic weapon from his wrist and gave it to the old man.
"Young friend, you're so generous! Consider this a good deed done today. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to my sect and find me, Li Haoran. Hahaha~"
"Oh, by the way, I still don't know your name, young friend."
"Junior Ye Hao"
"Haha, great name!"
"I simply cannot bear to study the mechanism of this bead today, so I will not stay any longer," he said, and then flew directly into the clouds and disappeared into the horizon. Before leaving, perhaps noticing Ye Hao's predicament, he stuffed a bag of star stones into Ye Hao's arms.
Ye Hao bowed slightly in the direction the old man flew away to express his gratitude.
Today's harvest was truly great. I not only found a good place for my son to settle down in the future, but I also got this bag of sixth-grade star stones. It's just that I feel a little sorry for Elder Li.
Ye Hao couldn't hide his excitement as he thought about it. Finally, he wouldn't have to do hard labor every day anymore, and Xiaoxin and Yeling wouldn't have to suffer with him anymore.
