Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Taking advantage of the time before the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering began, Song Daoxuan was in a very good mood. As soon as he sat down to meditate, he entered a state of communion with heaven and earth. He quickly began to comprehend the Turtle Breathing Technique and made some progress.

Through his persistent practice, Song Daoxuan had actually mastered this method of concealing one's aura, progressing from a minor level of proficiency to a major level. This major level of proficiency meant that Song Daoxuan could now easily apply the Turtle Breathing Technique in actual combat.

As for the Soul Searching Technique he obtained from the demonic cultivator, he studied it diligently and eventually mastered it to a basic level.

After doing all this, Song Daoxuan looked at the sundial and realized that there wasn't much time left before the actual Yunmeng Immortal Gathering trading began.

Soon, Song Daoxuan, dressed in a black robe, left the Qinglian Islands and entered the Yunmeng Fairy Gathering in Yunmeng Market. Even though Song Daoxuan was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he still used the Turtle Breathing Technique to suppress his cultivation aura to the third level of Qi Refining.

To be honest, even though he had diligently cultivated to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, Song Daoxuan's cultivation level was still somewhat insufficient in the vast Dali Yunmeng Prefecture. He thought that since he didn't need to suppress his cultivation level, he might as well suppress it as low as possible.

In this way, other cultivators would see that their cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining. If someone with such a cultivation level came to participate in the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering, it meant that they either had someone behind them or that some powerful cultivators were pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

However, the scale of the Yunmeng Immortal Gathering was not as large as Song Daoxuan had imagined. Looking up, he saw that there were only a few hundred people at the Yunmeng Immortal Gathering, most of whom had reached the Foundation Establishment stage and possessed very powerful auras.

At the venue of the Yunmeng Immortal Gathering, there was an old man who was making contact. This old man had an extremely strong aura and had actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage. However, this Foundation Establishment stage was even stronger than the one that Song Daoxuan had seen, Zhou Yunlan.

In the world of cultivation, if one has not practiced any methods to conceal one's aura, a high-level cultivator can easily detect the cultivation level of a low-level cultivator with their divine sense, while it is extremely difficult for a low-level cultivator to detect the cultivation level of a high-level cultivator.

If a low-level cultivator wants to know the cultivation level of a high-level cultivator, he can only make a rough estimate based on the strength of the aura. Therefore, based on Song Daoxuan's past experience, the old man guarding the gate of the Yunmeng Immortal Society must be at least a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As for Core Formation cultivators, they are quite well-known figures in the cultivation world, so they wouldn't be reduced to guarding the gate.

"Senior, this is my Yunmeng Immortal Token. Please take a look!" Song Daoxuan politely presented the Yunmeng Immortal Token to the old man with both hands.

Unexpectedly, the old man merely glanced at it and said, "Not bad! It really is the Cloud Dream Immortal Token. Go in. I don't know who your backer is, but I'll give you a piece of advice: young people shouldn't show off their talents at this Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering, otherwise, the bigger the tree, the more trouble it will attract!"

Song Daoxuan nodded. He knew what level of immortal gathering the Yunmeng Immortal Gathering was in the cultivation world. He was just preparing to leave the event after obtaining a substitute for the Gathering Breath Pill.

Unexpectedly, just as Song Daoxuan stepped into the gate of the Immortal Gathering, a young man who looked to be about eighteen years old walked over. He was slightly overweight and dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, clearly not an ordinary cultivator.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Du Ziruo, a member of the renowned Xilin Du Clan of Yunmeng Prefecture. I observe that you have also entered the sect at the Qi Refining stage. It seems you must have some powerful backers in this Yunmeng market!"

"Not at all, not at all. I am merely a rogue cultivator who occasionally embarks on the path of cultivation, having inherited a Cloud Dream Immortal Token from my ancestors. My family background is far beyond what Fellow Daoist Du can compare to!" Song Daoxuan said with great humility.

His heart was in turmoil. What a joke! The Xilin Du Clan was the only one of the three Golden Core Immortal Clans in the entire Yunmeng Immortal Continent.

It is said that the Old Ancestor of Zhuxi in Yunmeng Prefecture was a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and had no descendants.

However, the patriarch had taken in three disciples: Liu, Zuo, and Du, all of whom were at the Core Formation stage. The current patriarch of Zhuxi had long since abandoned such a large cultivation sect and instead appointed his eldest disciple as the sect leader, his second disciple as the vice sect leader, and his third disciple as a chief elder within the sect.

The cultivation family behind these three disciples, Master Du, is the Xilin Du Clan. At first, Song Daoxuan didn't really believe that the young man was from the Xilin Du Clan, but then he saw it for himself.

Several other Foundation Establishment cultivators, dressed in similar attire, came to Du Ziruo and chatted as if they were very familiar with each other.

"I think we get along very well. At the upcoming Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering, why don't we sit together and get to know each other better?" Du Ziruo turned his gaze to Song Daoxuan, revealing a look of great anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Du. I'm just a nobody without any sect or school, and I've always been a loner. I'll just observe the upcoming Immortal Gathering on my own!" As soon as he finished speaking, Song Daoxuan left Du Ziruo on his own.

Du Ziruo was left with a look of regret on her face.

"What a pity!"

"Young Master Du, this man is nothing more than an ant at the third level of Qi Refining; there's no need to get acquainted with him!"

Hearing some comforting words, Du Ziru smiled broadly and continued chatting with many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"This person is truly a member of the Xilin Du clan. To attend the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering with him? What a joke! I don't want to be too conspicuous and draw the attention of these Foundation Establishment cultivators. I just want to quietly obtain a little-known first-tier pill formula!"

Song Daoxuan returned to the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering, chose an extremely secluded corner, and sat down on a chair.

They soon arrived at the Cloud Dream Immortal Gathering; it was time for the transaction.

A woman in purple stood on a high platform, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her long hair piled high, her lips crimson, and her skin as smooth as mutton-fat jade.

Judging from her age, this beautiful woman was probably in her thirties, and her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining, which was only one step away from the so-called Foundation Establishment stage.

A beautiful woman in purple sat on a high chair, holding a pipe in her hand. Her slender legs were intertwined, and she glanced at everyone present, revealing a very charming and alluring style.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Qin Ruanruan, and I am the host of this Yunmeng Immortal Gathering. The Yunmeng Immortal Gathering will now begin, and the auction will proceed according to the principle of the highest bidder wins. If any of you dare to cause trouble at my Immortal Gathering, you must consider the power behind my Yunmeng Market!"
