Mortal Seeking Immortal

He took out the bronze token with the word "Qingyuan" engraved on it from his arms. Three days ago, a faint green light appeared on the token, which was a sign that the Qingyuan Palace was about to open.

As the day of the Qingyuan Palace's opening approaches, the azure light on the token will become more and more dazzling.

Ye Zhou injected a stream of spiritual power into the token. After absorbing the spiritual power, a green arrow shadow appeared out of thin air above the token. At the end of the arrow was a light spot emitting golden light, which was the location of the Qingyuan Palace.

Ye Zhou used his skills to leave the place in the direction indicated by the arrow.

......

Lingshi City was originally an ordinary inland town, but a thousand years ago, an elder from the Xianle Sect was traveling here and accidentally discovered a large spiritual mine hidden deep underground in a barren mountain on the outskirts of Lingshi City. He immediately passed the information back to the sect.

The Xianle Sect sent a large number of disciples to be stationed here to dig spiritual mines, and also recruited many small sects and immortal cultivation families to assist them in mining spiritual stones.

Due to the increasing number of monks stationed here all year round, some merchants who heard the news built many facilities here. The originally remote Lingshi Town, which was rarely visited by monks, was gradually expanded into a small city and renamed Lingshi City.

In the following hundreds of years, there was a constant stream of cultivators coming and going in Lingshi City. The resources obtained from the spiritual stones mined from this large spiritual mine also cultivated batches of disciples for the Xianle Sect, which made the people from the Liuhe Sect and the Tiangong Palace jealous. There was also a lot of friction between the three sects in the fight for this large spiritual stone mine.

It’s a pity that three hundred years ago, this large spirit stone mine dried up overnight for no apparent reason, and not a single spirit stone could be mined.

This matter attracted the attention of the top leaders of Xianle Sect. At first, they thought that someone from Liuhe Sect or Tiangong Palace had tampered with the spirit stone mine, so they sent several groups of monks to investigate. The elders of the sect also came to investigate in person, but found nothing.

An exhausted spirit stone mine was not worth it for the Xianle Sect to waste a large number of manpower to continue stationing here. In addition, with the rise of the latecomers Liuhe Sect and Tiangong Palace, the Xianle Sect had to transfer some manpower to guard against them.

Most of the monks who used to mine spiritual stones have left in the blink of an eye, and most of the shops in the city have closed down. Now there are only two or three shops that are still barely open, and on weekdays, the business is entirely managed by local monks.

Although Lingshi City is not as prosperous as before, it is not too deserted either.

During the period of mining of the spirit stone mine, the number of mortals and low-level cultivators settling here increased day by day. Some of them migrated here with their families from other places, and more were the descendants of the cultivators who had once been stationed here.

Because they had no talent for cultivating immortals, or their talent for cultivating immortals was too poor, the cultivators stationed here left behind only some scattered spirit stones and low-level skills before leaving, and severed ties with these descendants.

What is different about Lingshi City today is that there are more monks with unfamiliar faces everywhere in the city.

Although these cultivators restrained their aura after entering the city, some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city could still infer from the palpitating aura occasionally emanating from them that these cultivators had extraordinary cultivation bases, and were at least Core Formation cultivators.

There are only a few strong people in the Jindan realm in Lingshi City, most of them are in the early stage of Jindan, and most of them are about to die.

They knew that their own qualifications were limited, and they had no resources from their sects or families to support them. They would never be able to break through to the next level and extend their lifespans in this lifetime, so they came to this remote Lingshi City in despair, settled there, reproduced, and continued their bloodline, hoping that one day their descendants would be able to embark on the path of cultivation again and go further than they did.
