He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

All I can say is that it truly lives up to its reputation as a great city. This is the first time Xu Yi has ever seen such a magnificent city, except for the Taoist Heavenly Palace.

But what kind of architecture is the Taoist Heavenly Palace? It is a miracle, the only magnificent architectural complex Xu Yi has ever seen. It is incomparable to any city. The Taoist Heavenly Palace has transcended the scope of cities; it should be considered a miracle.

Compared to the present, the world of later generations can only be described as a low-level martial arts world. Various supernatural powers are not comparable to the supernatural powers and spells of today. They are not even close. However, in terms of cultivation, after the Three Flowers Gather at the Top, it seems that they are almost the same.

Xu Yi had no way to compare these cultivation levels because it was simply impossible to find two people in the same world with corresponding cultivation levels for comparison. However, in terms of lifespan...

However, the lifespan of true immortals in later generations is immeasurable, so there is no way to make a comparison. At least, Xu Yi has no way to compare these two people with different cultivation levels and from different worlds.

It can only be said that the laws of the Golden Core stage seem to be somewhat similar to those of the Divine Power stage in later generations. Great Divine Power cultivators seem to be quite similar to those in the Golden Core stage. This is Xu Yi's understanding.

Xu Yi's cultivation level of half-step Golden Core stage was still visible on the road. Although not many, Xu Yi still saw some, which showed that the foundation of large cities was still immeasurable.

Xu Yi did not linger any longer; he successfully entered the city using the Wanbaoge token he had acquired in Lion City.

He currently has 500 contribution points, and what he wants to do most is to go to the Treasure Pavilion and exchange for some information about the Golden Core stage. This is what Xu Yi wants to do most right now.

Xu Yi is now eager to advance to the Golden Core stage. He feels that only by reaching a certain level of cultivation will he be qualified to know more things. Moreover, his cultivation technique is also very powerful. It was left behind by the patriarch of the Sha Clan and is a top-tier technique from the previous era. In any case, it can make Xu Yi almost invincible at his current stage.

If he could reach the Golden Core stage and comprehend the Great Dao within the cultivation technique, Xu Yi dared not imagine what level he could reach.

Whether it's the Divine Illumination and the Seven Stars, they both have very powerful and profound explanations of the laws. Compared to other Daoist scriptures, they are actually inferior in the early, basic stages. However, when cultivation reaches its final stage, it is still a contest of the strength of the laws. The previous foundation is certainly an important point, but no matter how important it is, for Xu Yi, it is enough as long as it is sufficient.

He wouldn't have encountered a formidable opponent before reaching the Golden Core stage. Before that stage, he was completely unable to unravel any secrets about the future. Therefore, there's a reason why he achieved this level of cultivation.

After cultivating the Seven Stars and Divine Illumination and Dawn Technique, Xu Yi's previous realms will not have much of a gap. It's just that his foundation is a little weaker than that of other Daoist practitioners. However, when they reach the stage of cultivating the laws, they will truly realize the fear of Xu Yi's Divine Illumination and Dawn Technique.

The Divine Illumination and Glowing Clouds Technique is still a technique for strengthening the soul. Each time he cultivates it, it actually strengthens Xu Yi's soul.

Liucheng is a large city, so there are naturally some guides at the city gate. Xu Yi is new here and doesn't know how to get around, what famous buildings are there, or where the famous shops are. These are all things that Xu Yi needs to know right now.

However, he could explore all of these on his own, slowly searching for shops that interested him. But not Wanbaoge. He absolutely needed someone to guide him. He needed to quickly find a way to break through to the Golden Core stage, or some kind of favor that would help him achieve that breakthrough.

Only when he reaches the Golden Core stage will he truly step onto the grand stage of this world and truly have the right to speak.

It's important to know that the colossal serpent that once blotted out the sky was only at the Nascent Soul stage...

Of course, this record is from a long time ago. Or perhaps, this Nascent Soul stage is just a speculation by the Wanbaoge people, because his combat power really is beyond the Nascent Soul stage, and he also has the temperament and various operations that a Nascent Soul stage person should have.

However, we cannot delve deeper into Xu Yi's qualifications and identity. To access further information, Xu Yi would need to possess a higher level of cultivation, which is one aspect. More importantly, Xu Yi's status within the Wanbao Pavilion would need to reach a certain level.

In the Wanbaoge's ranking system, Xu Yi is currently just a镖头 (bodyguard), and his status is not very high. However, among the镖师 (bodyguards) level, Xu Yi's level is already the second highest. Above him is the 长镖头 (chief bodyguard), which can only be held by someone at the Golden Core stage.

This title can only be obtained after reaching a certain level of cultivation and making sufficient contributions.

At this stage, Xu Yi can access many secrets. However, these secrets are all classified as intelligence within the Wanbao Pavilion. To access this intelligence, Xu Yi cannot simply obtain it for free, nor can he just let him see it for free. He needs to exchange it for sufficient contribution points.

However, as the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), Xu Yi naturally receives a discount of 10%.

Since completing several missions, Xu Yi's growth value has increased. This corresponds to whether you are qualified to enter the next stage of your position in Wanbaoge. Only when your growth value is high enough will the higher-ups approve your application.

The Wanbaoge sect has a very strict but fair ranking system. They also train disciples, but only one person can take on a disciple at a time. Compared to other sects and major religions, it is actually quite fair. As long as you are ruthless or hardworking enough, even if you often take on small, non-dangerous tasks, you can still make money. The premise is that you need to do the tasks.

You can do some tasks with low growth potential, but they add up eventually, right?

That's how you gradually accumulate contribution points.

Xu Yi was all too familiar with this process.

Soon, Xu Yi arrived in front of a child. He looked quite handsome. Although he was twelve or thirteen years old, he was indeed very tall. However, upon closer inspection, one could see the marks of time on his face.

Whether it was exhaustion or something else, Xu Yi wasn't sure, but he had taken a liking to him.

"How many spirit stones will it cost to lead the way?" Xu Yi asked softly as he approached him.

"Thank you, one spirit stone for one hour." The child looked up at Xu Yi. He was very polite and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed to be a self-reliant person.

Xu Yi likes this kind of person: even if fate brings you bad news from the beginning, please don't lose heart. With your own efforts and hard work, you will reap the rewards sooner or later.

"I don't have any spirit stones, but I do have Five Elements Pills. Do you want them?" Xu Yi smiled awkwardly. He really didn't have any spirit stones. He didn't have the habit of storing them because he wasn't going back to any other cities. The Wanbaoge Pavilion was already in sight in the cities he was going to.

As long as he has Wanbaoge, the contribution points he has from Wanbaoge will be more valuable than spirit stones.

Before achieving the Nascent Soul stage, Xu Yi planned to seek a glimmer of hope within the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, hoping to give Qiu Xu a chance to advance.

The existence of Wanbaoge's tiered system was tailor-made for independent cultivators like him. When he left, he could say that he was a member of Wanbaoge and wouldn't lose face.

However, the rogue cultivators who can enter the Wanbao Pavilion are not unknown figures.

People like Lao Hei or Liu Cheng were all top-tier experts in their respective fields. The selection process for each bodyguard was very rigorous.

Wanbaoge doesn't just give these people a meal; for bodyguards, a meal isn't easy to come by at Wanbaoge.

It's just that Xu Yi's strength is too great, which is why he thinks it's a good job at Wanbaoge.

"Five Elements Pill?" The young man was at the Qi Refining stage. He was clearly taken aback when he heard the name of the pill. This kind of pill was only for those at the Foundation Establishment stage. It would not only put a great burden on the body after taking it, but it was also a pill that could only be absorbed by those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The young man in front of me doesn't look very old, but he's already a Foundation Establishment stage senior.

A glimmer of longing flashed in the boy's eyes. He wasn't sure if he had any talent, but he had cultivated all the way to the early stage of Qi Refining without feeling tired. That's how the boy's mind was—sky-high.

He believed he was the protagonist, that as long as he worked hard, he would reap the rewards, and that as long as he kept working hard and persevered on this path, he would definitely be able to achieve great things.

Therefore, his tone of voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Senior, isn't the Five Elements Pill too expensive?" The young man had heard of this pill, but he had never inquired about its price because he didn't need it and wouldn't ask about things he couldn't afford.

Xu Yi didn't speak. He was thinking. How many spirit stones were the Five Elements Pill worth? He didn't know, but asking this young man to help find a place would definitely be enough.

Xu Yi then shook his head: "I have plenty of these here. Take one and you can exchange it for spirit stones at the Wanbao Pavilion later. I don't know how many you can get, but if you're short of spirit stones, I'll make up the difference for you later."

"Lead the way, I need to go to Wanbaoge in Liucheng."

Xu Yi tossed a bottle to the boy, inside which was the Five Elements Pill.

Xu Yi tossed a bottle to the boy, inside which was the Five Elements Pill.

The boy didn't recognize the item, but the senior's demeanor and tone of voice didn't seem like someone who would deceive people, so he chose to believe him. Since he was going to Wanbaoge, he could naturally let the people from Wanbaoge examine the goods. He might not know the value of the goods, but the people from Wanbaoge certainly did.

"Senior, wait for me, the road isn't this way."

After the boy put the bottle in his pocket, he quickly called out to Xu Yi. Xu Yi tossed the bottle to the boy and turned to walk in the opposite direction, even though the Wanbao Pavilion was clearly on the other side.

"Uh...cough cough, I'm just looking at the scenery here." Xu Yi smiled and quickly caught up with the boy.

The boy didn't say anything more after hearing this; he just kept walking ahead to explore the way.

When Xu Yi entered the city, he already knew some of the city's rules. He couldn't use his divine sense to explore, but he could actually use it. He just couldn't use his divine sense on a large scale, or he would be arrested by the guards.

Furthermore, one cannot fly unless one has a special permit. In this city, a permit is only granted for urgent intelligence.

Moreover, they were all personally approved by people from the City Lord's Mansion.

The True Lord guarding this town was so mysterious that Xu Yi didn't even know his name.

Xu Yi didn't inquire about it. In fact, the city lord's reputation was very high, but he didn't deliberately try to find out information about him.

There is only one Wanbaoge in the entire Liucheng, and all cities are the same. If a Wanbaoge moves in, then a city is only allowed to have one Wanbaoge. Others can compete for the position of manager, but they cannot build a second Wanbaoge, otherwise, disaster will befall them.

This has always been the ironclad rule of Wanbaoge, and the people who formulated these rules are the core members of Wanbaoge. Among them are those who entered the Dao through 'commerce,' trading and doing business in the world, in order to improve their cultivation.

Xu Yi was unaware of this information. The smooth operation of Wanbaoge was inseparable from the advice and strategies of these people behind the scenes. That core member integrated his Dao into the ironclad rules of Wanbaoge. One suffers, all suffer; one prospers, all prosper. As Wanbaoge prospers, his cultivation will gradually improve as well.

Those who bind their cultivation to the Wanbaoge are the ones who most hope that the Wanbaoge can recover.

Meanwhile, under the boy's guidance, Xu Yi finally saw the three large characters of Wanbaoge, which he hadn't seen for a long time.

This plaque seems to be the same on all Wanbaoge plaques, only the size is different. It seems that it was written by the owner of Wanbaoge himself.

This is just Xu Yi's guess. Which person who creates such a powerful force wouldn't want to leave something behind in their work, right?

It's unclear how long Wanbaoge has been operating, or who its leader is.

These questions were merely matters of curiosity for Xu Yi; he didn't necessarily need to know everything.

After entering Wanbaoge, Xu Yi led the boy to the counter and presented a token.

This is a token exclusive to the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) level, meaning that the person in front of you is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a top one among them.

Upon seeing the badge, the young maidservant on duty hurriedly asked, "Greetings, Escort Master Xu."

Because the token was engraved with Xu Yi's surname, the maid was able to say those words.

"How many spirit stones can one Five Elements Pill be exchanged for?" Xu Yi suddenly asked this nonsensical question.

This left the maid somewhat confused, but since the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) had asked, she answered without hesitation: "To镖师 Xu, one Five Elements Pill can be exchanged for approximately fifty spirit stones."

The materials for the Five Elements Pill are very difficult to gather. Although the materials for the Five Elements Pill are now available in large quantities in this major city, the price still depends on the quality of the Five Elements Pill. The cheapest Five Elements Pill on the market costs fifty spirit stones per pill.
