My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

They met at Wanbaolou in Lingxiao City and hit it off immediately. Lin Ye accepted a sum of money to help him transport goods, and the remaining cabin space was sold off by Steward Chen. They arrived at the palace together.

At this moment, along with the cold winter wind, a burst of spiritual energy blew in.

Lin Ye and his family couldn't help but take a deep breath. The spiritual energy concentration in the Mechanized City Palace was extremely high, much better than that of a small place like Qingyang Town!

This environment made the monks feel happy.

Lin Ye smiled and said, "After being away from home for so long, this is the only place that reminds me a little of home!"

A glint of light flashed in Deacon Chen's eyes: "As expected of Young Master Lin."

Lin Ye's eyes were filled with interest.

He was dressed in fine clothes, and his mannerisms and demeanor were exactly those of a wealthy young man of this era.

With Lin Ye's abilities, it's hard for him not to attract attention; the more timid he is, the more he will be looked down upon and suppressed.

It's still safest to be moderate in your extravagance!

Lin Ye scanned his surroundings and saw a ruin not far away, while on the other side was a bustling city. The scene was extremely unusual.

The Imperial Palace of the Mechanized City was built on the ruins of a powerful force.

"That's an undeveloped area. Sixty years ago, the Golden Crow Sun King shattered every corner of the Supreme Sect with a single blow, crushing it into uniform fragments," Deacon Chen pointed in the direction of the ruins.

"The Sun King has decided to build this place into a palace and present it to His Majesty the Lord of the Great Wilderness."

"These fragments are all materials used to build our palace."

Lin Ye punched a brick-sized "fragment" at his feet, then picked it up easily, feeling incredibly novel about it.

The Imperial Palace of the Mechanized City is like a map in a sandbox game.

Everything was neatly arranged in neat blocks.

The once powerful sect was blasted into uniform fragments for offending the Sun King. On the ruins, people built the Mechanical City Palace, where usable materials were everywhere underfoot.

These materials are probably made from the corpses of cultivators or some other compressed material.

Gongshu Yan didn't care. Looking at the countless fragments at his feet, his master looked like he had seen a treasure mountain, and his two big eyes shone brightly.

"My God, what a holy land for weapon forging!"

"Even the houses along the street are all magical artifacts, and the ground is covered with materials!"

"This is the unique feature of the Imperial Palace in the Mechanized City," Steward Chen said respectfully. "Young Master Lin, the materials belong to His Majesty. To use them to create private property, you need to pay points."

Lin Ye nodded.

"Young Master Lin, please look, this is the Desolate Curse!" Deacon Chen pointed to the back of his hand and said, "I'll teach you how to use it."

Deacon Chen made a hand seal with one hand and pointed at the flying boat beside him.

Suddenly, the strange red patterns on the back of his hand had transferred to the wall of the flying boat.

A beautifully engraved number, 3000, is located in the center of the red pattern.

Deacon Chen said with a wry smile, "These are my points, not many!"

“We, the people of the Imperial Palace in the Mechanized City, will put up the Wild Curse on our doorsteps. The number on it can show a person’s status and strength.”

"Young Master Lin, please remember to bring the Wild Curse with you when you go out. Just stick it on the door at home to ensure your privacy."

"The curses pasted on the wall can be used to submit and exchange resources."

"When carried on one's person, it can provide rewards based on the cultivator's actions!"

"For example, if a miner finds rare materials deep underground, these materials belong to His Majesty, so submitting them won't earn many points. However, the labor cost of mining will still be quantified into points, and rare materials will yield more rewards than ordinary materials."

Deacon Chen whispered, "Once you leave the palace grounds, the curse affixed to the wall will automatically return to the back of your hand..."

Lin Ye nodded and chuckled, "Interesting."

This is exactly the same as what Lin Ye saw in the historical records.

The Wilderness Curse is essentially a powerful secret technique of the Great Wilderness Emperor.

It can measure a cultivator's achievements, and considering that cultivators have their own privacy, it can be taken off when they go home.

It's very convenient!

However, because of the characteristic that the cursed creature would automatically return to the back of the hand after leaving the mechanical city palace, people mistakenly believed that this thing was a time bomb.

Most cultivators dared not approach this place for fear of being marked by the Lord of the Great Wilderness.

This thing actually has nothing to do with blood sacrifices or anything like that; in fact, it can even save lives in crucial moments. They're just overthinking it...

Moreover, there are actually special methods to remove this curse.

Looking at the red lines on the back of his hand, Lin Ye felt a sense of relief.

In the future, we'll still need it to get through this great calamity.

Deacon Chen sighed, "I heard that even Nascent Soul stage elders cannot escape the Desolate Curse!"

"After all, this was His Majesty's doing...!"

Deacon Chen's gaze was filled with awe, then he smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, may I apply to be the cultivator who introduced you? We will split the points earned 70/30, and you will get 70%."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow: "Do as you please!"

“Young Master Lin, your identity... will affect the revenue from the introduction…” Deacon Chen probed.

Lin Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said proudly, "Just say it like that: a descendant of the Demon Emperor Mountain Dragon, a second-grade weapon refiner."

Deacon Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

The relationship between Demon Emperor Mountain and the Great Wilderness Royal Court seems to be strained...

So, the purpose of this young master Lin's visit is truly... something I dare not think about!

If I weren't nearing the breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, with little lifespan left and desperately needing money, I really wouldn't dare to earn this money so casually... Deacon Chen's face turned somewhat pale.

"This young master is a descendant of the Demon Emperor Mountain Dragon, a second-grade weapon refiner. I will introduce him to the Mechanical City Palace!"

The desolate curse flickered and remained silent for a moment, without reacting.

Deacon Chen had never seen anything like this before and was immediately taken aback. He then said, "Young Master Lin, recommending a second-grade weapon refiner to join the team usually earns you a reward of around 100 points..."

At this moment, the Desolate Curse on the back of Lin Ye's hand also emitted a red light and began to flash intensely.

"Bloodline assessment failed, second assessment passed, judgment standard - eye."

"Introduce a descendant of the Candle Dragon and receive 5000 points."

Candle Dragon Bloodline...

An ancient mythical beast!?

Deacon Chen's heart pounded wildly. He glanced at Lin Ye's chin, then dared not look again.

The referral bonuses alone exceeded my entire savings! I certainly wouldn't dare take 30% of that!

"Descendant of the Candle Dragon, please state your name."

A righteous and peaceful voice emanated from the desolate curse.

"Lin Ye," Lin Ye replied.

"Lin Ye, holder of this precious bloodline, would you be willing to sell your membership information and bloodline information to the Hehuan Sect? If you accept, the reward is..."

"I reject!"

Chapter 59 Terrified by the Joyful Union Sect, he resorted to the art of survival.

Seeing the name Hehuan Sect suddenly made Lin Ye's heart skip a beat.

Nightmares haunt me...

It exists in every era!

In every lifetime, in every 1000-year period, in the era I have lived through, the Hehuan Sect has never declined; even in the Dharma-ending Age, it has stubbornly survived as a high-class club...

The power of the Hehuan Sect has fluctuated frequently in different eras, but in each period, the Hehuan Sect has never fallen below the level of a major power, and its tenacity is astonishing.

Lin Ye even suspected that if they went back 100 or 1000 lifetimes, they would still encounter it again.

Such a being truly terrified him.

Lin Ye realized once again that, by using his fake identity as a rich young master, he could still manipulate the current Meteor Fire Sect based on his understanding of them.

However, considering the Hehuan Sect, the danger level is far too high.

It was probably even more dangerous than when he was a rogue cultivator alone in the alleys of the Qingyang Sect. Lin Ye couldn't accept this increasingly precarious situation.

Fortunately, there's a treasure trove here.

Lin Ye began browsing the points mall within the Wilderness Curse.

I'm looking for a way to simultaneously act as a wealthy young master and a rogue cultivator, but I'll rule out clone abilities for now—those are too low-level and unreliable, and the high-level ones are too expensive.

Instant teleportation combined with identity disguise would roughly achieve the effect he needed.

If the rich young master crashes and burns, Lin Ye, as a rogue cultivator, can still survive with almost no loss. Lin Ye carefully searched through the vast online store, lost in thought.

"4900 points have been credited to your account!"

At this moment, Deacon Chen dared not ask any further questions about Lin Ye's identity and quickly transferred 4900 points to Lin Ye's account.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Young Master Lin... I originally only planned to earn this much, but this is more than I expected, I can't accept any more!"

Lin Ye chuckled and pointed, "Well, well, Steward Chen..."

The young master's status is indeed different.

If I were a rogue cultivator now, the people at Wanbaolou wouldn't eat such a small amount.

Deacon Chen respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Young Master Lin, let me find you a place to stay."

"My goods will be held on your ship for now. Please wait here for a moment while I go to town to inquire and will be right back!"

Lin Ye raised her chin: "Okay, go ahead."

After Deacon Chen walked away, Lin Ye began to scan the contents of his spatial token with the Desolate Curse, and then exchanged all the sellable items for points.

In addition, there were her master and Wenren Qingyu, who each had some valuable possessions.

Lin Ye applied again to become the introducer for the four of them!

Because of the bloodline of the alien beast, Huang Zhou gave quite a lot.

Although the bloodlines of three of them were still relatively weak, Gu Yuesheng's eyes had already awakened.

It's probably because Huang Zhou's eyes are still relatively low-level, not yet in the second stage, and are considered to have thin bloodline, so even though they are both introduced as descendants of Zhulong, he only gave her 2000 points.

Finally, Lin Ye calculated that his family currently had a total of 55000 points available!

Based on Lin Ye's previous research on the Mechanized City Palace, this was roughly the income a mid-stage Golden Core expert could earn in three or four months at the Mechanized City Palace.

That's quite a lot!

Lin Ye's role in the Qingyang Sect was essentially to use his master's Golden Core stage status to make money, and he actually earned a relatively high income, which was quite high for someone in the Golden Core stage.

However, due to the Hundred Turns Qi Refining Formula, a portion of it was consumed.

Now, all the scarce resources that were bought with spirit stones in Lingxiao City have been converted into points.

Lin Ye and his master submitted a small portion of their spiritual artifacts, while Huang Zhou, whose more complex future spiritual artifacts were stuck at the "under evaluation" stage.

The family has so much savings, they are already quite well-off.

With points as his reliance, Lin Ye was even more determined to realize his plan.

The privileged status of the young master must be preserved, but the survival aspect of the rogue cultivator cannot be omitted.

"Search: Secret techniques that can be used during the Qi Refining stage."

Sort by price from highest to lowest!

Lin Ye was suddenly startled, and sure enough, he found what he needed on the second page.
