Chapter 456 A Passerby in a Fallen Immortal Family (8)
After finishing her cultivation, Jiang Yue glanced at the clan leader. He was probably switching cultivation techniques, which would take some time. Jiang Yue didn't rest; she upgraded the array in the valley and planted some spiritual herbs here. The current environment was very suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs, especially those with the lightning attribute.
Then another teleportation array was set up. Another one will be set up after we return to the clan. We can develop this place in the future. It's a pity to use this good place just for tribulation.
After Jiang Yue finished planting the land, the clan leader woke up. Seeing that his breathing was unstable, Jiang Yue taught him the method she had developed to conceal his aura. Once he learned it, the two set off back to the clan.
After returning to her family, Jiang Yue set up the teleportation array and added a self-destruct device. This way, if she couldn't escape in time, she could destroy the teleportation array; otherwise, what would happen if the enemy followed her there?
Jiang Yue was ready to leave, but she had to wait until the clan leader's condition stabilized and he had mastered the spells for this stage and become a combatant. Since she had nothing else to do, she had helped the clan refine a lot of pills and weapons, which were enough for their needs.
After the clan chief emerged from seclusion, Jiang Yue left. Her first stop was to visit the Zhao and Sun clans in the surrounding area. She scanned their scripture pavilions and then sneaked into their treasure vaults. However, there wasn't anything of value, so she left it for him. Jiang Yue wasn't being kind; she was just like taking eggs—if you take all the eggs, there won't be any more.
As Jiang Yue prepared to leave, she checked the map to confirm her location. Her ultimate goal for this trip was the Central Continent, but to get there, she would have to cross the Endless Sea. According to the markings on the map, the nearest airship was to her southwest.
Jiang Yue didn't know how Jiang Fan made this map. It had so many functions and looked even clearer than Gaode Maps. It even had a projection function. She didn't know if maps sold elsewhere were like this, so she didn't dare to open it. If she broke it, she wouldn't be able to use it anymore.
When we get to the market, I'll take a look. If I can buy some, I'll buy a few to study. It would be great to also buy the recipe; that would be so much fun!
After putting away the map, Jiang Yue began her journey. She didn't fly at full speed because she was collecting some flowers and plants along the way. Even an ordinary herb in the immortal realm is extraordinary; perhaps she could research some special medicine into it.
She also collected some spirit fruits and spirit beast meat. The wild fruits by the roadside tasted alright, but they contained little spiritual energy, so only low-level cultivators liked them. Some of the fruit trees grew in harsh environments that others couldn't pick, which made them easy for Jiang Yue to obtain. She looted them all like a bandit.
She doesn't care now, but she'll love it when she changes worlds. After all, you can't put all the high-level spiritual fruits and beast meat in the space, because mortals can't digest them. It's necessary to put some low-level things in as well.
Jiang Yue also broke through once along the way, successfully advancing from the True Immortal stage to the Earth Immortal stage. Because she had accumulated enough power in the True Immortal stage, she was no small fry in the Earth Immortal stage either. After the breakthrough, the safety factor of this trip increased significantly.
Having reached the Earth Immortal stage, Jiang Yue's travel speed increased significantly, and she arrived at the market town ahead of schedule. This market town was not small, as it was the only one in the southwest region.
Before entering the market, Jiang Yue concealed her cultivation level. The first layer of disguise was that she had reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, the second layer was that she was in the early stage of the True Immortal stage, and the third layer was that she was in the late stage of the True Immortal stage. After disguising herself, Jiang Yue also changed her gender, and the honest and simple old man Li Feiyu appeared.
Upon entering the market, Jiang Yue found it quite lively, with patrol teams passing by from time to time. She didn't see anyone fighting in the market, indicating that the market was relatively law-abiding.
After walking for a while, Jiang Yue saw a notice board. She went over to take a look. It contained information about the market and a map of the market. The map was drawn in great detail. With a cultivator's memory, she could remember it at a glance and not worry about getting lost.
After leaving the notice board, Jiang Yue went to the market office. Everyone entering the market had to get an ID card, otherwise they would be fined if they were caught by patrols. Those without money would be forced to mine. The people who run the market are not doing charity.
There were quite a few people when they arrived. The staff asked Jiang Yue to stand on a formation: "Please stand here and don't move. This is just to detect you and prevent demons and monsters from sneaking in."
"OK."
When Jiang Yue was scanning the formation, she wanted to study it, but it was encrypted. With Jiang Yue's current level of formation skills, she couldn't break it silently, so she had no choice but to give up.
Five breaths later, the scan was completed, and Jiang Yue stepped down from the array. When the staff helped Jiang Yue process her documents, their attitude changed. Jiang Yue realized that her disguise had been seen through, but she didn't know how many layers they had seen through.
The young girl who was leading the way brought her to a tea room, where a manager at the True Immortal stage was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Jiang Yue, he waved for the young girl to leave.
After inviting Jiang Yue into the house and having some tea, they began to discuss the important matter:
"What brings you to the market, fellow Daoist? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. I'm preparing to go to the Central Continent to find someone knowledgeable here to inquire about the situation, such as when the ship will depart and what the price will be."
Hearing Jiang Yue say this, the other party did not lower his guard. Although there was an Earth Immortal in charge of the market, and they were not afraid of Jiang Yue, who was just a minor Golden Immortal, it would make him seem incompetent if he troubled the Ancestor with everything.
"I see. There is no fixed schedule for the flying boats to the Central Continent. It depends on the number of people who sign up and when flying boats from the Central Continent will arrive. As you know, it is not an easy task to fly across the Endless Sea. With the escort of a Celestial Immortal, the cost of a single flying boat ride is five thousand Immortal Yuan Coins."
"As far as I know, the last time we set off was several hundred years ago. Fellow Daoist was not so lucky and missed it. The time before that was more than three thousand years ago. Fellow Daoist will have to wait a long time."
After listening to Manager Wang's explanation, Jiang Yue felt quite helpless. The Immortal Realm being too vast was not a good thing. However, Jiang Yue had no other choice but to wait. Expecting her to fly there on her own would not only take too long, but even whether she would survive to get there was another matter.
After a moment of silence, Steward Wang tentatively asked, "I wonder what your plans are, friend? Will you return to your family first or wait in the market?"
Jiang Yue said with a hint of helplessness, "I am just a nobody, I don't have any family. I can only find a job in the market. I can't afford five thousand immortal coins."
One Immortal Yuan Coin is equivalent to one year's cultivation of a True Immortal. Jiang Yue has only condensed a little over a hundred of them over the years because she spends her spare time recharging the batteries in the Wizard Tower and doesn't have time for this.
Immortal Stones can be used even without Immortal Yuan Coins, but the exchange rate between Immortal Stones and Immortal Yuan Coins is 2.5:1. The main problem is that she doesn't have any Immortal Stones either. There are a few core pieces of spirit stone mines in the family, but those can't be touched, or the spirit vein will be gone.
