#2207 - Just leave it to me
The Qingfeng City Lord's anxious expression eased slightly the moment he saw Jun Wuxie.
“Lord Shi, you've finally come out of seclusion.”
The Qingfeng City Lord sighed, his expression grave.
“City Lord, don't worry.”
Jun Wuxie waited for the Qingfeng City Lord to sit down before speaking slowly.
“This concerns the survival of Qingfeng; how can I not be anxious?
I thought that after eliminating the Fallen Immortal King, it wouldn't be able to break the seal and descend upon the mortal realm, and Qingfeng's crisis would be resolved.
Who would have thought that the White Bone King within the White Bone Cave would actually break out of the seal?
The White Bone King is a true fifth-order Immortal-level undead evil being, and its strength is far greater than the quasi-fifth-order Fallen Immortal King!
It has ten fifth-order Super God-level generals, dozens of God-level powerhouses, and hundreds of thousands of White Bone Legion soldiers!
The strength of the White Bone Cave alone is already difficult for us to resist, not to mention the various evil demon armies it commands…”
At this point, the Qingfeng City Lord cast a hopeful gaze at Jun Wuxie, “Lord Shi, you are now the only hope for our Qingfeng Ancient Town.
I know this is a very unreasonable request; the fifth-order White Bone King is extremely powerful, and there is great risk in fighting it.
But we really have no choice.
The strongest batch of powerhouses in the city are only fifth-order God-level, without even a single Super God-level.
Although we have hundreds of fifth-order God-level powerhouses, we are simply powerless to resist the White Bone King…”
“That fifth-order Immortal-level White Bone King is indeed a very terrifying creature…”
Jun Wuxie nodded, but before he could finish speaking, the Qingfeng City Lord hurriedly said, “Lord Shi, I beg you to save Qingfeng! If you can save Qingfeng this time and repel the evil demons, everyone in our Qingfeng City will be willing to follow your orders in the future. All the tax revenue in the city, after deducting the basic expenses for the city's operation, can be split with you, half for you!”
“Forget about the tax revenue; I don't lack exclusive coins and don't need the tax revenue of Qingfeng Ancient Town.
Fifth-order White Bone King, City Lord, don't worry, leave it to me.”
“Thank you, Lord Shi!”
The Qingfeng City Lord was overjoyed. Seeing him respond with such calmness and confidence, he felt as if he had taken a reassuring pill.
Lord Shi didn't hesitate at all, so he must have a great deal of confidence in dealing with the White Bone King?
“By the way, City Lord, do you want to break through your realms?”
Jun Wuxie's seemingly casual words caused the Qingfeng City Lord's heart to tremble.
“Lord Shi, of course we want to break through our realms, but alas…”
The Qingfeng City Lord sighed and said, “Since the invasion of the evil demons in those years, the various regions have been separated by barriers.
To this day, we are still unable to go to higher-level continents.
Although Qingfeng is rich in resources, their quality is limited, and there are simply no resources that can support us in breaking through to the sixth-order realm.
During the great war back then, lives were devastated, and almost all of Qingfeng's powerhouses were killed in battle.
Those who survived are also struggling to survive, their realms have fallen, and they have yet to recover.
If we want to break through our realms, we can only wait for Lord Shi to promote the development of the era and open up the path to the regional central cities as soon as possible.
At that time, we can still obtain resources corresponding to the sixth-order through some channels and break through the realm shackles that have hindered us for tens of thousands of years.
On continents above the third level, I heard that there are various high-grade heaven and earth treasures. If we can obtain the seeds, we can plant and cultivate them.
We do have our own medicine fields, and they are also covered by a time formation.
It's just a pity that we lack seeds.
If we can obtain the seeds in the future, we will soon be able to cultivate resources, and then we will have hope of breaking through our realms…”
“The seeds that the City Lord is talking about, are they the resources that cultivators can plant and cultivate in the medicine fields after obtaining a stronghold, which are used to improve the realms of non-young talents?”
“Yes, it should be. I can't be sure, but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.”
The Qingfeng City Lord said that he couldn't be 100% sure.
Jun Wuxie pondered for a moment and said, “City Lord, what is the quality of the exotic soil in your medicine fields?
The cultivation of heaven and earth treasures is related to the quality of the exotic soil.
If the quality of the exotic soil is below the sixth-order, it may be difficult to cultivate resources corresponding to the sixth-order.”
“Lord Shi can rest assured about this.
Our medicine fields have eighth-order exotic soil.
These exotic soils were all brought back by the powerhouses who walked out of Qingfeng before the invasion of the evil demons.
It's just a pity that we only have high-grade exotic soil, but no corresponding resources to cultivate, wasting these precious soils for tens of thousands of years…”
“City Lord, you don't need to feel sorry for this.
Having high-grade exotic soil is equivalent to having the foundation for cultivating high-grade resources.
Seeds, we will have them in the future.
Listening to what the City Lord just said, the exotic soil was brought back by the former powerhouses.
In this way, we cultivators should also have channels to obtain exotic soil of different qualities?”
“Of course, as far as I know, on continents above the third level, you have various channels to obtain exotic soil. It may be a mission, or it may be attacking the territory of the evil demons and plundering their exotic soil.
The exotic soil they possess originally belonged to our world.
The evil demons invaded, the mountains and rivers fell, and all the exotic soil was occupied by the evil demons.
However, the acquisition of exotic soil starts at the seventh-order at the earliest.
After the evil demons finish attacking the city, if you successfully defend the city and obtain the Heaven-Sent Token to establish a stronghold, the Heavenly Dao will bestow sixth-order exotic soil.
As for seventh-order exotic soil, you cultivators will need to obtain it yourself through various channels in the future.
The same is true for seeds. At the beginning, you will only be rewarded with some fifth-order seeds.
Seeds above the sixth-order need to be obtained from the third-level continent.”
“So that's how it is.”
“Lord Shi, do you really have the confidence to deal with the White Bone King?”
“Of course, the City Lord doesn't need to worry about this.
It's just the White Bone King. Although it is strong, it is only at the fifth-order after all. Even if it has the growth intensity of an Immortal-level, I still have the confidence to kill it.”
“Since Lord Shi says so, then I can rest assured…”
The City Lord completely let go of the last trace of worry in his heart.
He took out a defense map from his bosom and spread it out on the table, “Lord Shi, please take a look and see if there are any places that need to be adjusted. If you feel there are any unreasonable places, please feel free to make suggestions.”
“There is nothing that needs to be adjusted.” Jun Wuxie glanced at it and said, “You only need to remember not to let the army go out of the city to meet the enemy.
If your people die in battle, they cannot be resurrected through the Life Crystal like cultivators.
All the legions should be arranged to defend the city within the city.
Leave the matter of fighting outside the city to the cultivators.”
The Qingfeng City Lord was stunned for a moment, “If that's the case, with the current strength of the cultivators, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist the evil demon army at all.”
“You don't need to consider this. They have substitute death talismans.
Tomorrow will be the day the evil demons attack the city.
Now, the City Lord can issue an order to announce to the entire city to sell substitute death talismans at a discount.”
“Okay, but my authority is limited.
Although I am the Lord of Qingfeng City, the controller of the Odd Goods Merchant Guild is not from Qingfeng.
My maximum authority is only to allow them to sell ordinary substitute death talismans at a discount. I don't have the authority for intermediate substitute death talismans and above.”
“Ordinary ones are enough.
When the evil demons attack the city, they will fight collectively. If a cultivator dies and drops an exclusive artifact, their companions will naturally pick it up, and there will not be too many losses. This can ensure their ability to continue fighting and contain the evil demon army, while the defending legions will have better shooting opportunities.”
“Understood, then I won't disturb you.”
The Qingfeng City Lord respectfully saluted and then withdrew from the hall.
Before long, the voice of the law resounded throughout the city.
“Hello, cultivators who have come to Qingfeng.
I am the Lord of Qingfeng City.
With the evil demons about to attack the city, to thank you all for helping Qingfeng fight against the evil demon army, this City Lord has decided that all ordinary substitute death talismans will be sold at a 30% discount from now until the end of the evil demon attack.
You can go to the Odd Goods Merchant Guild to purchase them.
The Odd Goods Merchant Guild will open ten times the sales windows to improve efficiency.
Due to the supply problem of substitute death talismans, each person can only purchase a maximum of one hundred discounted substitute death talismans during this period.”
Wow!
The entire city was in an uproar.
Substitute death talismans are on sale, and it's actually a 30% discount!
“Oh my god, I'm losing so much, I've lost even my underwear!”
Someone looked at the dozen or so substitute death talismans in their hand and wailed.
If I had known, I wouldn't have bought them so early.
Isn't it better to buy them at a 30% discount now?
“No, although I already have a lot, I still have to prepare more.
While it's cheap, I have to prepare dozens of them!”
A massive number of cultivators, from different directions, flocked to the Odd Goods Merchant Guild like a tide.
Every wide street instantly became crowded with people.
…
At this time, Jun Wuxie was listening to Chief Manager Zhou's report on the sales details of exclusive artifacts.
Those fourth-order Primordial exclusive artifacts were all auctioned off at sky-high prices of tens of millions of exclusive coins.
Divine weapons and clothing were the most expensive, with the highest auction price reaching 100 million.
Chief Manager Zhou said that most of the fourth-order Primordial exclusive artifacts were auctioned off by people from the Emperor Dao Alliance.
“The Emperor Dao Alliance is indeed a hardworking wage earner and a generous benefactor.”
“That's what the Lord said.” Chief Manager Zhou said with a smile, “At the current stage, the purpose of exclusive coins seems to be the consumption of daily necessities and the purchase of artifacts.
But with the development of the era, its use will become wider and wider.
Especially when you arrive at the regional central cities of the third-level continent.
If the Lord accumulates a wealth of wealth, when you come to the central cities in the future, you will have enough exclusive coins to buy rare items.”
Jun Wuxie nodded.
He never worried about earning exclusive coins.
For him, exclusive coins were too easy to obtain.
Now, slowly accumulating wealth, in the future, once he encounters the founder of the Odd Goods Merchant Guild, he will have money to buy good things from him.
…
Returning to the residential courtyard.
Linglong and Mu Lian Yue had already come out of seclusion.
During these days of cultivation, their strength has improved a lot.
After Mu Lian Yue refined the Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pill, the strength of her physical body is no longer what it used to be, and her Divine Forbidden Domain has also broken through a layer of heaven.
Linglong not only broke through the Divine Forbidden Domain, but her realm also achieved a breakthrough.
Jun Wuxie sat down at the jade table in the courtyard.
Originally, Mu Ciyin, who had a clear and cold gaze, a face devoid of desires, a heart as still as water, and a detached and peaceful demeanor, instantly had her icy eyes softened a lot, and she hugged his arm in public without any hesitation, leaning against him and sitting down beside him.
A strange color appeared in Linglong's enchanting eyes, and the corners of her sexy lips curled up slightly, "Being by Junior Brother's side is quite dangerous. Some time ago, Senior Sister was almost killed by sourness, and now she's about to be killed by sweetness.
Well, sour and sweet is me, your poor Senior Sister."
Upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Mu Ciyin's icy and delicate white face, pretending to be saying, 'What are you talking about? I don't understand.'
Little World Tree and Mu Lian Yue couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle beside her.
"I say, Senior Sister Linglong, when did you become so glib? This doesn't seem like the cold and alluring queen vibe of you."
"What cold and alluring queen vibe? That's for other people.
In front of Junior Brother, Senior Sister has never had any cold and alluring queen vibe, okay?
By the way, what exactly did the Qingfeng City Lord want from you?"
"It's about the Evil Demon siege.
An Evil Demon stronger than the Fallen Immortal King has emerged from the sealed land, the White Bone King from the White Bone Cave, a fifth-level Immortal-grade undead Evil Demon.
Coincidentally, Senior Sister Linglong cultivates undead Taoism, and the White Bone Cave must be filled with pure undead essence.
This time, after killing the White Bone King and the war is over, I will take Senior Sister to the White Bone Cave, which will definitely benefit Senior Sister's cultivation."
"Fifth-level Immortal-grade?"
Mu Lian Yue and Linglong exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"Are you confident?"
They couldn't help but worry.
Especially Mu Lian Yue.
How difficult it was for them to join forces to kill the Fallen Immortal King back then.
In the end, Jun Shen used some kind of special secret technique, at the cost of suffering backlash himself, to kill him.
After that battle, Jun Shen's origin wounds worsened.
These days, although he cultivated with Sister Mu, such a short time would definitely make it difficult to repair the origin wounds.
It means that Jun Shen must not use that kind of secret technique again, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious.
"Of course, fifth-level Immortal-grade is all.
My origin wounds have now healed, and the Wheel of Life has returned to its original state.
I can use the Three Thousand叠 Killing Technique at any time.
Not to mention so many exclusive divine artifacts on my body, even without them, I can still kill him!"
He was certainly confident, not boasting.
With the Wheel of Life repaired, the Three Thousand叠 Killing Technique can be used at will, and its power can reach an extremely terrifying level.
In the past, he risked backlash to stack the blood energy dozens of times.
Now, he can easily stack it thousands or tens of thousands of times.
The difference is completely incomparable.
The difficulty of killing a fifth-level Immortal-grade with bare hands lies in the fact that if all the divine artifacts on the body are removed, it means that one's own defense against the powerful creatures in the Secret Realm will become very fragile.
Of course, this is under the premise of not using the World Domain.
Once the World Domain is used, not to mention fifth-level Immortal-grade, even Absolute Immortal-grade creatures cannot break through his defense.
"Jun Shen's Wheel of Life has been completely repaired?"
Mu Lian Yue was shocked. How long has it been?
She couldn't help but look at Mu Ciyin.
What kind of bloodline physique does Sister Mu have that she can completely heal Jun Shen's origin wounds through dual cultivation in such a short period of time!
This is really unbelievable!
"So fast..."
Linglong and Little World Tree were also pleasantly surprised.
It seems that they still underestimated the effect of Mu Ciyin's Origin bloodline as a dual cultivation furnace.
It can simply be described as heaven-defying.
Jun Shen's bloodline is special and powerful.
His bloodline physique's origin wounds are extremely difficult to repair.
But in just over ten days, even if a Time Rune Array was set up in the Eight Nine Mysterious Palace, the time would not exceed two hundred days.
It was able to completely restore his injuries to their original state!
"Senior Sister is relieved that Junior Brother's origin wounds have recovered.
In your peak and flawless state, you can naturally easily deal with some White Bone King, no problem."
Of course, she knew how strong he was at his peak, subverting people's cognition and imagination.
Back then, he could cross a large realm and kill hundreds of thousands of dark powerhouses alone, slaughtering trillions of dark armies!
Mu Lian Yue looked at Jun Wuxie and Linglong with curious eyes.
Senior Sister Linglong used the word 'easily', and Jun Shen himself just said that even with bare hands, it was not impossible.
She was really curious, to what terrifying extent did the flawless Jun Shen's combat power reach that he could say such words that felt like Arabian Nights.
