Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

After all, not every Daoist partner of Su Chen can reach the Void Refinement stage.

As long as one's cultivation level continues to improve.

One day, I will have a place next to Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced at it and then looked away.

He thought for a moment before speaking.

"I can't worry about that now, Jiang Shiyu, you should think it through yourself."

Jiang Shiyu nodded without saying anything.

Su Chen patted his knees and stood up.

......

On the cloud platform, the Venerable Hongfu is no longer there.

Su Chen waited by the railing for a while.

That sea of ​​clouds surged and rolled in layers, utterly still.

The jade floor beneath my feet was a bit hot from being in the sun all morning.

Su Chen looked down and noticed that his cloud boots looked quite out of place on the jade platform.

The voice of Master Hongfu came from behind.

"Are you leaving already?"

Su Chen turned around, and Hong Fu Shangren pulled out a spiritual fruit from somewhere, took a bite, and stood on the inside of the cloud platform, sizing up Su Chen.

Actually, Su Chen was a little hesitant at first.

If I leave now, will Master Hongfu let me go?

But upon closer inspection, the Red-Robed Immortal in front of him was looking at Su Chen with a lazy expression.

I didn't take it to heart at all.

It seems I was indeed overthinking things.

After all, he wasn't good enough for her to keep an eye on him like that.

Firstly, his cultivation level was currently nothing in the eyes of Master Hongfu.

It would be best to have another cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

But it shouldn't be enough to make Master Hongfu keep an eye on him.

Besides, it would be easy for Master Hongfu to find him.

Therefore, Su Chen could go wherever he wanted.

"Senior, I have been bothering you for too long, it is time for me to return."

The Venerable Hongfu turned the peach in her palm.

"From now on, just remember that incident, and don't forget it."

Su Chen nodded.

"Unforgettable."

The gaze of the Red-Robed Immortal glanced at the pavilion behind Su Chen.

"Should we take that little girl with us too?"

"No."

Su Chen shook his head.

"If she wants to stay, she can stay; if she wants to leave, she can leave. She has her own things to do."

Master Hongfu took another bite of the peach and smiled.

"fickle."

Su Chen didn't bother to respond to that.

He cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and with a stomp of his foot, he was already dozens of feet tall.

He tossed a sound transmission talisman towards the attic as a way of saying hello.

The dojo beneath our feet, shrouded in mist, gradually shrank in size.

Shrinking the earth to an inch, taking a single step.

......

It took two whole days to travel.

The landscape below had changed from the continuous spiritual fields and sect mountain ranges of the Xuanhuang Continent to a vast expanse of dark, towering mountains.

Even the trees growing in the mountains are black.

Su Chen looked down from the air.

It's very oppressive, not in terms of cultivation, but just plain oppressive; just looking at it makes you feel suffocated.

As he descended, the closer he got, the more he felt that this place was completely different from the Xuanhuang Continent.

Black stones, black mountains, black city walls.

The flags fluttering on the city gate tower were also black.

Su Chen put away his escape technique outside the city and walked into the city.

In broad daylight, the city gates were wide open.

People were coming and going, all of them cultivators, some at the Nascent Soul stage and others at the Spirit Transformation stage, each with their own aura.

Most people have a few knife and sword scars on their bodies, more or less.

A casual glance revealed that within three to five steps, someone had quietly placed their hand on the weapon at their waist.

Su Chen walked inside and glanced around.

The city is indeed bustling.

Most of the shops on the street don't have signs; they just display their goods plainly.

At the street corner, someone was furtively exchanging glances with another monk, something tucked into their sleeve.

Walk forward, and there's a whole row of gambling dens.

The shouts and calls of those betting on spirit stones poured out from inside in waves.

Su Chen turned a corner at the street corner, intending to find an inn to rest and inquire about the city's black market, including when it opened and where it was located.

After walking through two streets, I still couldn't find a single inn.

Su Chen stood at a fork in the road for a while.

He pulled over a cultivator who looked reasonably pleasing to the eye and asked him a couple of questions.

The cultivator turned his head and looked Su Chen up and down.

"Inn?"

He scoffed.

"Blackrock City, where is this inn?"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Chen scanned the three forks in the road again.

Gambling dens, weapons shops, gambling dens, and shops that exchange spirit stones—another row of gambling dens.

Further inside, there were several pavilions from which music could be faintly heard, with red lanterns hanging at their entrances.

Su Chen paused for a second, then walked over there.

......

The building appears to be three stories high from the outside.

The lanterns at the entrance are still lit, even in broad daylight.

As Su Chen stepped inside, he was greeted by a strong, yet not overpowering, aroma of spirit wine mixed with cosmetics.

In the middle is a fairly large platform.

On the platform, a female cultivator was slowly turning her feet to the beat of the drums.

The seats were divided into concentric circles by gauze curtains.

A waiter quickly came up to Su Chen, glanced at him from head to toe, and asked him three questions in quick succession.

Su Chen casually took out two spirit stones and patted them on the little boy's hand.

"Just find a quiet place and sit down."

The waiter's eyes lit up immediately.

They deftly led Su Chen to a secluded corner seat with a sheer curtain.

After all, Su Chen had been so generous just now.

In terms of wealth, the Black Mountain Continent cannot compare to the Xuanhuang Continent.

Su Chen was a top-tier tycoon in the Xuanhuang Continent.

Now that they've arrived on the Black Mountain Continent, their actions are something ordinary cultivators can only look up to.

Many people actually noticed Su Chen as soon as they saw him make a move.

They were all wondering to themselves whether he was a descendant of some great cultivator or a spoiled brat.

What these people didn't know was that Su Chen in front of them was actually a Grandmaster of the Void Refinement stage.

To avoid trouble, Su Chen had long since concealed his cultivation level.

Everyone present scanned the area with their divine senses.

Most of them were Golden Core cultivators, with only a very few Nascent Soul cultivators.

There are no more than two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Such a large place of pleasure, yet so few Nascent Soul cultivators.

That's rather surprising.

Su Chen sat down at the table, raised his hand, and poured a cup of spirit wine from the pot with a burst of spiritual energy.

The waiter, who hadn't left yet, quietly approached from the side.

"Young master, we also have female cultivators here to accompany our guests, as you see..."

Su Chen wanted to say no.

But then I thought, I came here to find out something.

Find a local one; that's the easiest way.

"How many spirit stones?"

"One hundred spirit stones, young master."

Su Chen placed a spirit stone on the table.

"Arrange it however you like."

The waiter bowed and left with a smile.

Su Chen picked up the cup of spiritual wine and took a sip.

It's hotter than the one in Luoyan City; as you slide down, you feel a wave of intense heat.

On the platform, amidst cheers, the female cultivator circled around and gracefully stepped back.

The next person to come on stage was someone else, with long sleeves that fluttered as she walked, creating an indescribable atmosphere under the dim yellow lights.
