Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Three Times the Lifespan

Chapter 94 Snow City

But he struggled to his feet, quickly searched his opponent's storage bag, and then, without looking back, staggered and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

This scene sent a chill down Yang Changsheng's spine, who was lurking in the ravine below, and strengthened his resolve never to get involved in any pointless conflicts.

A high level of skill does not mean invincibility; your trump card is the key to life and death!

"My current weakness is indeed that my cultivation level is relatively low, and my magical power is still far behind that of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator."

As Yang Changsheng traveled, he calmly analyzed his own situation.

The transformation of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" has not yet begun, and although the "Mysterious Origin Technique" is steady and reliable, it is ultimately just an ordinary cultivation method.

Powerful offensive spells are scarce. Apart from water-based spells from the mainland and the immense strength gained from body tempering, there is a lack of decisive killing moves.

This is his biggest weakness at present.

"However... I am by no means weak!"

Yang Changsheng's gaze was deep and his thoughts stirred. In his storage bag lay twelve quietly lying Fiery Archer puppets. This was a powerful trump card.

"If the three Fiery Archers were to attack together, in conjunction with my own body-refining close-combat skills, they would be able to form a powerful crossfire network, threatening or even killing most ordinary Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators."

"Of course, this excludes those elite disciples from aristocratic families who possess top-notch cultivation techniques, exquisite magical artifacts, and numerous trump cards..."

He clearly remembered the leader of the calamity cultivators, who displayed a terrifying strength that was far beyond the reach of ordinary rogue cultivators.

Several more hours passed.

Ahead, the barren mountain slopes gradually flatten out, and after crossing a low ridge, the view suddenly opens up.

A vast plain, still desolate but clearly showing signs of human development, came into view.

On the distant horizon, a majestic outline can be faintly seen; though indistinct, it exudes an aura of order and power.

Further away, there seemed to be an immense, shimmering lake, brimming with spiritual energy.

"We're almost there."

Yang Changsheng's spirits lifted.

According to the information he had gathered, in order to ensure the prosperity and safety of Qianxue Market, the Lu family's law enforcement team patrolled an area of ​​more than a hundred miles outside the market.

This area is already considered the edge of the safe zone.

He stopped and took one last look back at the rugged, treacherous mountains behind him.

"When traveling in the outside world, sometimes it is safer to be an inconspicuous mortal than a conspicuous cultivator."

Yang Changsheng looked at his coarse clothes covered in dust and bits of grass, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"However, even if a true mortal spent his entire life, he would probably find it difficult to cross these thousands of miles of desolate mountains and treacherous obstacles."

Half an hour later, they had completely entered the security zone heavily covered by the Lu family's law enforcement team.

Yang Changsheng's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He found a secluded mountain hollow and quickly took off his dusty, coarse clothes, putting on his blue robe.

Donning the robes, a composed demeanor befitting a cultivator reappeared.

There is no need to pretend to be an ordinary martial artist anymore, nor is there any need to deliberately hide one's cultivation level.

"Phew..." He let out a soft sigh, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Clang!"

With a clear and melodious sword cry, the superior-grade magic weapon, Qingfeng Sword, which had been hanging at his waist and gathering dust in his storage bag for a long time, floated in front of him, its blade shimmering with spiritual light and exuding a sharp aura.

Yang Changsheng lightly touched the ground with his toes and steadily stepped onto the sword. He then poured the power of the sixth level of the Xuan Yuan Technique into his body without reservation.

"call out!"

The Azure Edge Sword transformed into a sharp azure streak, tearing through the air and hurtling towards Qianxue Market at a speed dozens of times faster than the Lightness Technique.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the desolate mountains and rivers rushed past beneath my feet.

The exhilaration and efficiency of flying on a sword are unmatched by stealth travel on the ground, especially after safety has been confirmed.

After half an hour of full-speed flight, the outline of a majestic city began to emerge on the horizon at the edge of the field of vision, and quickly magnified.

Thousand Snow Market!

The sight that came into view moved even Yang Changsheng, who was usually calm and collected.

Six steep and uniquely shaped peaks stand like a natural barrier, surrounding a huge basin in a protective formation.

In the center of the basin lies Qianxue Market, built on the core territory of the former Chixiao Royal Family and now named after the prodigies of the Lu family.

The towering city walls stretched endlessly, their scale and grandeur far exceeding that of the dilapidated Bishuihu Port Market.

Most striking is the enormous, visible light shield that shimmers with seven-colored rays of light that hangs over the entire market complex.

The colorful clouds swirled, and the spiritual energy emanated a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.

Second-tier superior mountain-protecting formation!

Yang Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.

This grand formation, of such scale, is undoubtedly one of the Lu family's current pillars of strength.

If it weren't for the massive resources accumulated by the Wang family over hundreds of years during the war of annihilation, the Lu family would never have been able to afford the terrifying expense of hiring a formation master to set up such a massive formation based solely on their original assets.

This protective shield is the most direct symbol of Qianxuefang City's safety and status.

The closer we got to the market town, the more lively the scene in the sky became.

The sound of air being torn apart was incessant, and streams of light of various colors intertwined and shuttled back and forth.

Cultivators riding flying swords, shuttles, and flying boats, as well as various kinds of magical birds, and all sorts of escape lights... it's a feast for the eyes.

The cultivation levels of the cultivators coming and going have also clearly improved by a level. Mid-stage Qi Refining is now commonplace, and the aura of late-stage Qi Refining occasionally wafts by.

Occasionally, a rainbow light, far more dazzling, faster, and more imposing than the other escape lights, would tear through the sky, drawing awe and attention from countless cultivators below, who would then take the initiative to give way.

"Major foundational repairs!"

This scene clearly demonstrated to Yang Changsheng the attractiveness and prosperity of Qianxuefang City as the core of the Lu family's new strategy.

As you fly closer, the massive city gate, over twenty feet high and constructed from enormous bluestone imbued with spiritual energy, appears even more magnificent.

At the city gate, the Lu family guards, dressed in uniform armor, stood at attention, while a bustling crowd moved in and out.

His gaze swept across the main city, then fell upon the vast area surrounding the market town.

Relying on some first-grade high-level spiritual veins on the periphery, seven sizable cultivation towns have already been formed.

Although these towns are not as protected by powerful formations as the main city, they are well-ordered, with numerous buildings and a thriving population, because they are located within the hundred-mile safety zone strongly guarded by the Lu family.

Clearly, the Lu family's decisive victory over the Wang family and the establishment of a new core here attracted a large number of small families and independent cultivators from the surrounding areas who were unable to establish themselves in the main city to migrate and settle here.

"Li Qingshan's family seems to be involved as well..." A name flashed through Yang Changsheng's mind.

Based on previous correspondence, it seems that the Li family, to which Li Qingshan belongs, chose the right side in the Battle of Lu Wang and made some contributions.

After the war, they received a reward from the Lu family: the best quality near-second-tier spiritual vein in the seven outer towns, which served as the family's new foundation for survival.

This reward is an immense opportunity for a Qi-refining family.

Should we stop by and visit Li Qingshan?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Yang Changsheng quickly nipped it in the bud.

He shook his head slightly, his eyes calm and undisturbed.
