Chapter 85: People are planted in the fields as fertilizer!

As a low-grade immortal city, the strongest cultivator in Cold Moon Immortal City is only a Yuan Dan realm cultivator, which I can easily handle.

In the Immortal City of Cold Moon, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can enjoy the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, which can fully meet your needs.

Most importantly, the Cold Moon Immortal City doesn't need to explain its origins; its cultivation level is the best explanation.

Cold Moon Immortal City is far more suitable for me than Xuanming Sect. I will first soak up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Cold Moon Immortal City, and after I have completed the sixth level of Qi Refining, I will return to the Federation and quickly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

I will not exchange the remaining spiritual resources for the time being. I will exchange them all for mid-grade earth-attribute spirit stones later. If I don't have enough, I will exchange them with contribution points.

Having finalized his cultivation plan, Chu Xuan headed straight for Cold Moon Immortal City, referring to the map. He traveled swiftly, and along the way, both demonic beasts and cultivators avoided him altogether.

The journey was very smooth, without any trouble at all.

As they drew closer to the Immortal City of Cold Moon, the surrounding area became more populated, with various forces gathering and the population growing rapidly, and demonic beasts almost completely disappearing.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xuan realized that he had entered the territory of the Cold Moon Immortal City.

The surrounding scenery is similar to that around the Xuanming Sect, so it should be considered as an affiliated territory of the Cold Moon Immortal City.

However, unlike Xuanming Sect, the order here is obviously more chaotic. Not long after entering, Chu Xuan witnessed two battles, one of which was even a melee between two forces, with dozens of cultivators fighting together.

As expected of a gathering place for rogue cultivators, the local customs are indeed fierce. In comparison, the local customs under the rule of Xuanming Sect, which is located on the border between humans and demons, are not as fierce due to the presence of the powerful Xuanming Sect.

In order to observe this territory himself, Chu Xuan slowed down his pace and carefully sensed the differences between the two forces.

Walking along the road, you can see fenced-off spiritual fields in the distance, with golden spiritual rice swaying in the wind.

The scale of spirit rice cultivation under the jurisdiction of Hanyue Immortal City far exceeds that of Xuanming Sect. The two are not even in the same size. Xuanming Sect relies on the mountains for sustenance, and everyone under the sect's jurisdiction basically depends on the mountains and forests for survival.

Various wild medicinal herbs and plants are quite common, as are many minerals and metals, but cultivated spiritual rice is relatively rare, and the profession of spiritual plant grower is also quite uncommon.

But here, the situation is completely reversed. There aren't as many mountains and forests around Hanyue Immortal City, and the resources aren't as abundant as those near Xuanming Sect.

However, the number of spiritual fields in the surrounding area far exceeds that of Xuanming Sect. If Xuanming Sect is a fishing and hunting civilization, then Hanyue Immortal City is an agricultural civilization.

Of course, since the foundation of Cold Moon Immortal City is the independent cultivators, the gathering of independent cultivators from the surrounding areas has led to such a fierce and unruly local culture.

Just as Chu Xuan was marveling at the number of spirit fields around him, the cultivators inside the spirit fields also noticed him. Several people watched Chu Xuan from a distance, and after a moment, the cultivators inside the surrounding spirit fields gathered together, and seven or eight cultivators surrounded him.

An elderly cultivator with cloudy eyes and covered in mud stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "May I ask where you come from, fellow cultivator, and why you linger in my He family's spiritual field?"

As they spoke, the others also gathered around, forming a circle that vaguely surrounded Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan's mind stirred slightly, and a look of fear appeared on his face. He took two steps back, cupped his hands in return, and said, "I am a rogue cultivator. I have heard that there is a Cold Moon Immortal City here, which is a gathering place for rogue cultivators like us, and it has all kinds of spiritual items."

"I've come here to exchange for a Spirit-Suppressing Pill to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Do any of you fellow cultivators know where Cold Moon Immortal City is?"

Upon hearing about the Spirit Suppressing Pill, a look of greed immediately appeared in the eyes of the cultivators in front of them.

The group exchanged glances, all understanding their companion's meaning. A glint appeared in the cloudy eyes of the elder leading the group, and he said seemingly unintentionally, "Fellow Daoist, Cold Moon Immortal City is not a short distance away. Along the way, we will pass through countless forces, large and small, and not all of them are as kind as we are."

"Besides, your cultivation level isn't that high. You need a Spirit-Suppressing Pill. You're at the sixth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Qi Refining Realm cultivators lack divine sense, making it difficult for them to directly perceive the cultivation level of other cultivators of the same level. They can only judge the cultivation level by the aura of magical power emanating from the cultivator's body.

However, magical aura can be concealed. Once concealed, it is difficult for cultivators of the same level to detect, and they can only roughly judge it from their gait and demeanor.

Chu Xuan nodded directly and said, "Yes, I am indeed at the sixth level of Qi Refining, only one step away from the seventh level."

After a pause, Chu Xuan spoke again, "Is my cultivation level really that weak? I'm the strongest person in our area, and even in Cold Moon Immortal City, I shouldn't be considered weak, right?"

Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, the old man immediately relaxed his guard and laughed heartily, "Not weak?"

"That country bumpkin from some remote corner, a mere Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivator, dares to make such a boast?"

"Don't even mention a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator like you. Even a late-stage Qi Refining expert like myself is nothing special in Cold Moon Immortal City."

"Only those at the Dao Platform Realm can be considered true masters!"

"Hahahaha!"

The cultivators standing nearby burst into laughter upon hearing this, their eyes filled with disdain, even though they were among the lowest-ranking beings under the rule of Cold Moon Immortal City.

But at least it's under the jurisdiction of Cold Moon Immortal City, which is much better than those helpless, weed-like rogue cultivators outside!

What they despise most are the low-level cultivators who emerge from these remote corners of the world; their cultivation levels are average, their techniques are average, and their magical artifacts are even more average.

"What do you mean?" Chu Xuan asked in a somewhat panicked manner.

"Hahaha, you're from a small town, you don't know how cruel the cultivation world is."

"Same as always, we'll divide the spiritual resources, and the people can use them as fertilizer in the fields!"

"Let's do it!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a flying needle shot straight towards Chu Xuan's heart, clearly indicating that he had been preparing to make a move for a long time. At the same time, several cultivators behind the old man formed hand seals, and a series of magic seals appeared in the void, transforming into large hands that struck towards Chu Xuan.

This was none other than the technique Chu Xuan had previously seized—the Luo Tian Hand.

It's also one of the most common techniques in the Xuanming Realm, practically a standard skill for rogue cultivators.

Chu Xuan grabbed the flying needle, let out a cold snort, and the Zhenyuan Cauldron inside the Jiang Palace trembled slightly, with a layer of pale yellow light rising up.

The several large handprints that came towards him were instantly shattered, and Chu Xuan darted out like lightning. A moment later, everyone fell to the ground.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he picked out a few barely acceptable spiritual items from the storage bags of the group and took them with him. Then he stepped away and headed towards the next faction.

Chu Xuan planned to use this reason to visit ten different forces and see what the atmosphere was like in Cold Moon Immortal City, so that he could decide on his attitude after arriving in the city!
