My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

The monster let out a terrifying roar, which was somewhat similar to a human voice.

Lin Ye's heart started pounding wildly.

Every great calamity is preceded by signs.

The Great Blood Calamity is still decades away from a large-scale outbreak, but it has already shown initial signs—those being besieged are cultivators corrupted by the Blood Calamity!

The Blood Disaster is basically the cultivation world's version of a zombie virus.

However, the transmission route is through spiritual energy, and the intensity of infection fluctuates steadily over time. Currently, human-to-human transmission is almost nonexistent.

This is not the main manifestation of the Blood Sea Calamity, but it is still one of the important troubles.

It's simple to avoid getting infected: just refrain from using your magic to fight and isolate yourself from spiritual energy.

This is why even Mahayana cultivators fear the blood calamity and dare not make a move! The power of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth mainly targets these high-level cultivators; other cultivators are merely incidentally affected by the AOE, and even Mahayana cultivators are not spared.

Aside from the emperor, who remained fearless, perhaps he was simply too burdened by debt.

Cultivators corrupted by the blood calamity will not only descend into madness, but their combat power will also increase by a level.

very dangerous!

The desolate curse issued a call: "Participate in the encirclement and suppression of the unknown demonic cultivators now to receive rewards..."

"What a joke." Lin Ye only glanced at it before quickly fleeing into the distance.

I'm just a Qi Refining stage cultivator; I don't have their power.

This kind of excitement is something you absolutely shouldn't join in.

Lin Ye quickly moved away from the neighborhood where the blood calamity was about to occur, secretly thinking, "It has nothing to do with me... but it's only temporary."

"The signs of a great calamity will continue to spread!"

The Second Ring Road area is very large. It wasn't until dusk that Lin Ye finally circled from the western Second Ring Road to the eastern Third Ring Road.

We arrived at Wanbaolou.

Lin Ye was confused by the distance and thought: It would be much better to set up a spatial anchor point at home once the residence of the rogue cultivator is determined!

In the darkness of night, the Wanbao Building in the East District looks like a dazzling treasure mountain.

The Wanbaolou branch of the imperial palace is much more magnificent than that of the Qingyang Sect. Its building reaches straight into the clouds and is also wide and thick. During the day, it must look like a majestic mountain hidden in the misty clouds.

The interior should be like a small city, home to countless employees.

Making a living here shouldn't be too difficult.

However, considering the bloodshed, Lin Ye felt more and more that living in a place with so many people was not a good idea.

However, given his status as a second-grade weapon refiner, in such a large setting as the imperial palace, would he be able to afford a detached courtyard like the one in Jin Guang Fang? It's difficult!

If it weren't for the fact that he had just obtained a top-grade metal-type spiritual root, Lin Ye would have felt a little guilty.

As a rogue cultivator, aside from a second-grade weapon refiner badge, he had no other identifying marks.

No background.

However, with a superior spiritual root, he can be considered to have excellent aptitude among rogue cultivators.

You could try to obtain the Wanbaolou Guest Token.

My master was able to become a guest elder of Wanbaolou, and even a high-level guest elder, because he not only had a good talent for refining weapons, but also had excellent spiritual roots.

Lin Ye arrived at the main entrance and was greeted by a main hall that was even more spacious and taller than the airport terminal. The golden dome was magnificent, and he could look up and see the second floor, which resembled an enlarged version of a large shopping mall.

Lin Ye couldn't help but secretly admire: How magnificent!

As expected of Wanbaolou, which will become the leading force in the Eastern Divine Continent three thousand years later.

The lobby on the first floor was too large, and the density of cultivators was very sparse. The receptionist was quick and efficient, and appeared next to Lin Ye in a moment, smiling and saying, "What kind of business do you want to handle, fellow Daoist? I can introduce it to you."

Lin Ye nodded: "I'd like to ask, isn't there a type of cooperation where a fixed number of spiritual artifacts are submitted each month?"

The receptionist's eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist, would you like to sign a contract?"

"If we sign a contract, will we be able to live in the courtyard?"

After a moment's hesitation, the receptionist looked regretful: "No... but a contracted second-grade weapon refiner can live in a duplex attic on a high floor of our Wanbao Building."

Lin Ye thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Big cities are tough to navigate!

In particular, there is a severe oversupply of weapon refiners in the Imperial Palace of the Mechanized City.

Lin Ye asked, "What if I pass the guest elder's assessment?"

"That's fine!"

The receptionist quickly replied, "Having passed the guest elder assessment, you can stay in the courtyard! May I ask what elemental spiritual root you possess, fellow Daoist?"

"Gold element, high grade; Fire element, medium grade; Wood element, low grade."

"Okay, I'll register it and then ask the deacon for instructions on how to conduct the assessment..."

after awhile.

His qualifications probably barely met the standards for a guest advisor.

At the beginning of the assessment, when the spiritual roots were being tested, the deacon in charge of the test remained expressionless until she saw Lin Ye's smooth and skillful weapon-refining technique, at which point she finally showed a slight smile.

In the end, he successfully obtained the token.

The steward brought out a wooden token, and after authentication, the character "万" on it turned gold in Lin Ye's hand.

"What is your name, young friend?"

Lin Ye paused for a moment, then said, "Lin Fan, my name is Lin Fan."

The steward smiled and said, "My surname is Qing, you can call me Senior Qing."

"Yes, Senior Qing."

"From now on, young friend Lin will be a guest elder of Wanbaolou. Keep up the good work and strive to become a senior guest elder within two hundred years!"

"In addition, I will issue you a certificate so that you can choose a small courtyard to live in... Are you living alone?"

Lin Ye nodded: "I live alone."

Deacon Qing's gaze swept over the ring on Lin Ye's hand, which signified that she was "married".

A flicker of pity crossed her eyes: Oh, I see...

The poor young widow is actually quite cute.

Lin Ye probably racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what the serious-looking man with long, straight black hair in front of him was thinking.

"By the way, young friend Lin," Deacon Qing hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the map.

"I also live in that little courtyard over there..."

Chapter Sixty-Four: Moisturized

Lin Ye, a rogue cultivator, ventured out on his own.

You can't lie to a girl and say you're a high-quality single guy; doing that will cause problems with her feelings for you later.

Therefore, Lin Ye would wear a ring that signifies "marriage" when she goes out.

"right here."

The slender, fair fingertips of the Qing butler lightly tapped on the map.

"Young friend, your cultivation is still shallow. If you live near me, we can look after each other on a daily basis."

She saw my ring, didn't she?

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Deacon Qing.

Her long black hair accentuated her fair skin, and upon closer inspection, she exuded elegance, with delicate and charming features, a tall and graceful figure, and wore a simple white Taoist robe.

Regardless of the topic, her tone was always serene; despite being a worldly businesswoman, she possessed an ethereal quality.

No.

It's best to be cautious when dealing with someone of such extensive knowledge and experience.

It's unclear who they're connected to behind the scenes.

Lin Ye lowered her eyebrows slightly, her fingers gently resting on the ring on her fingertip.

Then, as if pulling himself out of his reverie, he looked up and smiled faintly, "Deacon Qing."

"If fate allows, then definitely."

Deacon Qing was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and laughed, "Haha, then let's see how fate unfolds! Take care, young friend Lin..."

"Deacon Qing, farewell."

Lin Ye turned and left, his steps leisurely.

Unconsciously, Deacon Qing gently stroked his long hair and reached out to straighten his clothes.

A slight ripple stirred within me.

'This person is so calm even when being rejected...'

Deacon Qing narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly as he watched Lin Ye's back.

The Imperial Palace in the Mechanized City is a place where one can only enter and never leave.

'Give it time, I refuse to believe it!'

.......

After leaving Wanbaolou, Lin Ye sped away.

Upon reaching a more distant location, they met up with Wenren Qingyu.

Lin Ye finally caught his breath.

As a rogue cultivator, I cannot be protected by a Golden Core cultivator and follow him into the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, otherwise the problem will surely be discovered.

Although the time away from protection was not long.

But my heart started racing a little.

"You have to be a coward when no one's around," Lin Ye thought to himself.

late at night.

Lin Ye arrived at the courtyard of Wanbaolou.

Surprisingly, it's not located east of the Third Ring Road, but rather on the northeast side, past the boundary between the east and north.

This commute is quite long!

So, if the palace is a miniature version of the Great Wilderness, then the northern part is the territory of the Kunpeng Clan.

That is, the sphere of influence of the family of that witch doctor.

The Kunpeng clan and the Jinwu clan have always been at odds.

Arriving here, Lin Ye felt somewhat apprehensive.

I hope I don't run into that person's relatives...

Huangzhou also provided a hint: "North District, Third Ring Road, Qinghongyuan, rent 20 points/month."

Seeing the low rent, Lin Ye's face lit up with joy.

You can't say that cheap things are no good, but they're not really cheap. 20 points is about the monthly income of a beginner Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it can reach more than 500 points in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

Most people in the early stages of foundation building can't afford to live here, otherwise all their income would go to rent.

The productivity gap between cultivators of different levels is too large.

In the palace, the monthly salary of a low-level Qi Refining cultivator is calculated to the decimal point.

However, Qinghong Garden is, after all, Wanbaolou's territory.

As long as you don't provoke the powerful.

It's still safe.
