Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 154 Famous Tianyuan City

Zhao Shuang became famous. He single-handedly defeated five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and three well-known mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, while he was only in the early-stage Nascent Soul stage. His fame spread throughout the entire Tianyuan City in one fell swoop.

In fact, it is not only famous in Tianyuan City, but also among the entire human and demon races.

After all, this kind of magical power is comparable to that of a high-level cultivator in the early stage of the Refinement Realm.

Coupled with the blessing of the special identity of an ascender, his fame naturally becomes greater.

However, in this case, the tasks Zhao Shuang needs to complete will naturally become more dangerous.

Although the elders had objections, they were all dismissed by other elders because Zhao Shuang's magical powers far surpassed those of cultivators of the same level.

Zhao Shuang was naturally aware of all this, but he didn't say much and continued to lead his team members to carry out the mission.

Originally, the team members he led were worried, thinking that the chance of dying had greatly increased. However, not only did they not die, but they made many military achievements and gained countless benefits and merits.

For a time, Zhao Shuang became a popular cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage in the entire Tianyuan City.

On this day, a guest came to Zhao Shuang’s cave, Elder Lei Luo.

"Junior greets Elder Lei Luo. May I ask if you have any instructions?"

In the hall of the cave, Zhao Shuang bowed respectfully to the Taoist in front of him.

This Taoist is exactly the only two cultivators in Tianyuan City who have reached the fusion stage and have ascended to heaven. Judging from his appearance, he is about forty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a pale golden complexion.

But Zhao Shuang knew very well that the other party was a purple shadow, and he also knew the purpose of the other party's visit.

Accepting him as a disciple was actually an attempt to use the Shadow Clan's methods to control him and thus control this genius of the human race.

Zhao Shuang would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death for such a thing, so he had already made preparations.

"Haha! I heard that there was a cultivation prodigy like you among the ascended cultivators. I just came back from the wilderness and wanted to take a look."

"Elder Lei Luo" did not seem to be dissatisfied with Zhao Shuang's cold attitude. Instead, he smiled.

"Nothing, just good luck. Elder, do you have any other instructions? If not, I still need to complete the mission."

Zhao Shuang's words were already an order to expel him.

In response to these words, the smile on Elder Lei Luo's face gradually disappeared, and then he spoke again.

"I would like to accept you as my disciple. What do you think? After all, the missions you carry out are too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die. I really don't want you to die in such a situation. You are also an ascended cultivator with outstanding talent and magical powers. It will cause heavy losses to the ascended cultivators."

"Fellow Daoist should be very clear about the situation of us ascenders by now. And with your aptitude and magical powers, it is only a matter of time for you to advance to my level. And as long as you accept me as your master and trust me, I will not ask you for these dangerous missions anymore."

"Elder Lei Luo" continued with a smile, his tone full of sincerity, which was really touching, but Zhao Shuang knew the other party's identity very well, so he continued in a cold voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Lei Luo. However, if I cannot complete these tasks and let other Taoists carry them out, more Ascendants may die. However, my magical power is not bad, so the chance of death is not that high. Moreover, the reward is very generous, so I naturally don't want to miss it. As for the matter of becoming a disciple, forget it. I am used to being alone and don't want to be involved with others. Elder Lei Luo, please forgive me."

Zhao Shuang's tone was as calm as ever, without any ripples, which made people feel angry for no reason?
For example, this "Elder Lei Luo" is like this. Even though he was possessed by the purple shadow, he still found it difficult to suppress the anger in his heart, and his tone became cold.

"In that case, please do as you please. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and stood up to leave Zhao Shuang's cave, but he found that a strange smile appeared on Zhao Shuang's face at this time, and then, as if he realized something, his face changed drastically.

"This... Xiang, there's something wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Lei Luo's eyes flashed with purple light. Almost at the same time, a purple shadow suddenly shot out from the Taoist priest's body and rushed towards Zhao Shuang, who had a strange look on his face.
Zhao Shuang remained motionless. Then, a burst of green flames rolled in front of him. Suddenly, the purple shadow roared and eventually turned into wisps of green smoke. Reality was not...

The moment the purple shadow rushed out of Elder Lei Luo's body, it seemed as if all his energy was drained out, his body became extremely shriveled, and there was no trace of life left.

Afterwards, a figure appeared at the door of Zhao Shuang's hall. It was an old monk with a half-foot long white beard. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were narrowed into slits. It seemed that he was so old that he couldn't even open his eyes.

It was another monk who had ascended to the fusion stage in Tianyuan City, Zen Master Jin Yue.

"Alas, I never thought that Fellow Daoist Lei Luo had been possessed by the Purple Shadow. Fortunately, you were born with divine eyesight and discovered it in time. Otherwise, who knows how many fellow Daoists would have died tragically at his hands."

Zen Master Jin Yue sighed and said.

"Master Miao, thank you very much. I'll trouble you with the rest. Ziying's suggestion is indeed good. The Ascendants really need to unite. Otherwise, the losses will only be more serious."

Zhao Shuang spoke.

When Elder Lei Luo returned from the wild world, Zhao Shuang knew that he had been possessed by the purple shadow, so he specially asked someone to invite out Zen Master Jin Yue, who had been in seclusion for many years and had no interest in worldly affairs.

Without the approval of Zen Master Jin Yue, it would be difficult to deal with this purple shadow.

"What you said is quite true, but I didn't expect you to have such a powerful weapon as the Four Divine Incense to deal with the Shadow Clan."

Zen Master Jin Yue smiled.

"I was just lucky and got some. It's nothing."

Zhao Shuang said with his smile still on his face.

"From now on, fellow Daoist, you don't need to complete any tasks to avoid any accidents. As for the Dust-Extinguishing Pills, I will send someone to deliver them to you. The merit of killing Ziying alone is enough to exchange for all the Dust-Extinguishing Pills."

"When the time comes, whether you want to leave Tianyuan City or stay in Tianyuan City as a manager, it's all up to you."

Zen Master Jin Yue told Zhao Shuang a piece of news that made him happy. If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't bother to bother with this purple shadow.

Now that he has achieved his wish, he is finally free and can do what he wants.
He had been looking forward to those things for a long time, but he had never been able to leave Tianyuan City for a long time. Now he could finally do so.

"Thank you, Elder. I want to leave Tianyuan City to gain some experience. Perhaps when I return next time, I will be a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage."

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"In that case, I would like to congratulate you first."

Zen Master Jin Yue also nodded and smiled. He had no doubts about Zhao Shuang's words, because Zhao Shuang's current strength and supernatural powers were comparable to those of the Void Refinement Stage. Advancing to the Void Refinement Stage was only a matter of time. "Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Shuang bowed slightly.

……

A month later, the news of Zhao Shuang's departure from Tianyuan City spread throughout the city. Meanwhile, only a handful of high-ranking cultivators knew that Elder Lei Luo had been possessed by the purple shadow.

And when he learned that it was Zhao Shuang who discovered and killed him, he was shocked and felt it was unbelievable.

But no matter how incredible they felt, it had nothing to do with Zhao Shuang, because Zhao Shuang was going to save people.

Who to save? Naturally, it’s the little Loli “Daier” from the Black Phoenix clan.

The plot has changed greatly now. Although Dai'er may not be in trouble, how can he miss such a beauty?

Of course I have to go to Anyuan City.

……

Ten years later, Zhao Shuang finally arrived at Anyuan City. The stone city wall was more than thirty feet high, and there was a small tower ten feet high every hundred feet or so, making the stone city look extremely majestic. Looking to both sides along the city wall, one could see the endless white city wall, and it seemed unknown how far it extended.

And on such a tall city wall, there are actually some unknown exquisite patterns engraved, like a kind of strange runes that have never been seen before, making this city inexplicably more mysterious!
Such a city, among the numerous cities of the human race in the entire spiritual world, could only be considered a small city. However, if it were in the human world, it would be among the top few, and only Tianxing City could be compared with it.

At this time, on the city wall, there were many tall soldiers wearing the same iron armor, patrolling back and forth.

At the same time, there is a giant crossbow of astonishing size on the city wall and tower, which is full of metal crossbow arrows.

Each one is three or four feet long, extremely sharp, and flashing with a faint white light, appearing to be a low-level magical weapon.

Such an amazing weapon, if it is really a magic weapon, even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be seriously injured if hit by it.

This state of alert was not due to any other reason, but because Anyuan City was facing a beast tide. Moreover, Zhao Shuang knew the reason clearly.

Although the human race and the demon race are allies, the high-ranking officials of the two races will not intervene in this beast tide, because in extremely dangerous situations,

Whether it is a human cultivator, a physical practitioner, or a low-level demon beast, they all have the possibility of advancement.

As for the two races, there are as many low-level cultivators, physical trainers, and monsters as they want.

If they can advance and gradually become high-level immortal cultivators, physical practitioners, or demons, it will be a good thing for both races. Therefore, in most cases, the high-level cultivators of the two races will watch such things coldly.

It would be fine if Zhao Shuang didn’t see it, but even if he did, and he came here specifically for it, he would naturally not stand idly by.

Therefore, Zhao Shuang did not plan to enter Anyuan City. He planned to resolve this matter first to avoid this beast tide that should not have occurred.

Zhao Shuang would not have cared much about a normal beast tide, but this time it was done on purpose, so he naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.

After Zhao Shuang was sure that the beast tide would not appear for a while, he headed directly towards the ancient forest outside Anyuan City.

The "real culprit" who caused the beast tide that he was looking for was in the ancient forest.

The other party's purpose was exactly the same as his, which was for the little girl Dai'er.

……

This is a young woman in her twenties dressed in palace attire, with phoenix eyes and dark eyebrows, and a hint of evil between her brows.

But now, this Black Phoenix woman who was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm had a pale face and looked at the man who appeared in front of her with a horrified look.

It was none other than Zhao Shuang, who had been searching for her for half a month. The fact that Zhao Shuang had been searching for her for half a month was enough to prove Xiao Hong's strength.

"It turns out to be Fairy Xiaohong of the Black Phoenix Clan. She's no longer on a mission in Tianyuan City, but has come to this tiny Anyuan City. She's even secretly unleashed such a massive beast tide, intending to destroy a city of millions. This is a serious crime. If I report this to the elders of Tianyuan City, even the noble Black Phoenix King won't be able to protect her."

Zhao Shuang's face was as frosty as a frost as he spoke coldly. His eyes flickered with coldness, and it was obvious that he had murderous intentions.
Even he could not sit idly by when millions of people died or else he would not have come to meddle in other people's affairs and even spent half a month looking for Xiao Hong from the Black Phoenix clan.

It's conceivable that he was really angry and had murderous intentions.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, this matter is of grave importance, and I have no choice but to act. As for the beast tide, hasn't it appeared yet? I am willing to give you three Black Flame Pills as compensation. I also hope you can expose this matter and take someone away from the city. If you can do this, I can immediately cancel the beast tide and compensate you with a sum of spirit stones."

Although Xiaohong was shocked by Zhao Shuang's appearance, she had no choice but to ask for help.

In particular, Zhao Shuang's report to Tianyuan City was what she was most worried about. Once reported, the Black Phoenix King might really not be able to save her. This was a taboo for the two clans. Even if there was a reason, it was a serious crime, almost unforgivable.

Anyone who violates this rule will inevitably die. Even if they are cultivators in the fusion stage, if they are discovered, they will die.
It has a huge impact on the alliance between the two ethnic groups.

The sin is not ordinary.

Although the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people were nothing, she didn't care. For the entire human race, just tens of millions of people, any city would be enough.

But this sin is too great.

Therefore, Xiao Hong did not hesitate to give out three Black Flame Pills as hush money. She believed that Zhao Shuang knew what to choose.

She naturally knew about Zhao Shuang, who had defeated many late-stage Jindan cultivators as soon as he entered Tianyuan City. He was even on the list of demon cultivators against humans.

Both tribes actually have this kind of list. Even the top leaders of the two tribes can only suppress this kind of thing and cannot avoid it.

After all, there is indeed a lot of grievances between the two races, and the alliance is only to allow the two races to survive better in this spiritual world.

After all, both tribes were small, far behind those super tribes. They were simply unable to fight.

"Black Flame Pill, Fairy, you are truly generous. Unfortunately, this Black Flame Pill is of little use to me. Now that I've seen this, I must intervene. So, Fairy, will you take the initiative to come with me to Tianyuan Imperial City, or will I help you go there? If it's the latter, I can't control what will happen to you. After all, Fairy, you must have heard that I have a reputation for being reckless and have lost countless aliens to me."

Zhao Shuang said with a malicious smile. Xiao Hong's face turned even paler after hearing this. She wanted to flee, but she knew it was impossible. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here listening to Zhao Shuang's nonsense. But now that things have come to this, it seems that she only has one choice left.
