Chapter 2032: Chapter 2037: Gifting Spirit Stones
Xia Liu did this mainly to avoid dragging Li Yun into matters concerning himself and the Qi Family.
After all, Ultimate Heart Sect is Li Yun’s effort.
Xia Liu doesn’t want the Imperial Sky Gate incident to repeat.
Thus, he can only act alone.
The teleportation formation to the Myriad Realms is located in the center of Xishan Mountain Realm, at Myriad Scenery City.
Controlled by a force called Heavenly Sect.
Heavenly Sect, quite a domineering name.
According to Li Yun, Heavenly Sect doesn’t have top-tier Nascent Soul Stage experts.
The Master of Heavenly Sect, Zhuang Fei, has Nascent Soul Early-Stage cultivation.
Yet upon hearing the surname Zhuang, Xia Liu always has an ominous feeling.
After all, it’s still uncertain whether Zhuang Bifan has been discovered by the Zhuang Family.
Also, whether Zhuang Family and Heavenly Sect have some connection remains unknown.
If possible, Xia Liu doesn’t want to clash with Zhuang Family and Qi Family.
One is a second-tier peak power, the other a first-tier apex.
Moreover, they hold significant connections with the Cultivation Alliance.
Reputed righteous path families in the Northern Realm.
Too many entanglements.
Helplessly, Xia Liu can only take one step at a time.
Since he wasn’t sure if Li Yun went directly to Myriad Scenery City and returned to the Myriad Realms through the teleportation formation.
Xia Liu could only walk and stop, spending half a month before reaching Myriad Scenery City.
True to its name, looking down from above, Myriad Scenery City reveals an abundance of greenery.
The whole city is picturesque, with beautiful scenery in every corner.
Over the past days, Xia Liu has prepared quite a bit.
As long as he doesn’t encounter a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivator, he fears nothing!
Estimating the timing to be about right, Xia Liu steps into the imposing and sacred Heavenly Sect main hall!
After learning from various sources, Xia Liu confirms.
This grand hall is specifically used by Heavenly Sect for registration and payment to use the teleportation formation.
However, there’s one distressing news; Heavenly Sect is indeed a sect established by the Zhuang Family.
Yet the distress lasted only a moment, if the Zhuang Family dares to provoke, let’s see who suffers!
Within Heavenly Sect are three teleportation formations.
One leads to the Myriad Realms, the other two lead elsewhere.
These three teleportation formations belong to the Myriad Realms.
To qualify for their custody, achievements must be made in the Myriad Realms.
As the top second-tier power, the Zhuang Family managed to earn this qualification.
Guarding the teleportation formations for two hundred years.
Currently, the time is nearly up.
In the final years.
Regular cultivators wishing to use the teleportation formations to reach other places face terrifyingly high fees compared to before.
But there’s no alternative.
In an instant, crossing a million miles; if luck favors, the time gained can easily cover the spirit stone cost of using the teleportation formations.
"My heavens! Are you kidding? To go to the Myriad Realms, paying five hundred supreme grade spirit stones is required?"
As Xia Liu enters the Heavenly Sect main hall, he suddenly hears an angry voice.
Turning his gaze, Xia Liu sees a cultivator arguing with the hall’s officials.
Despite appearances, he seems not very old, around thirty years of age.
Golden Pill Early-Stage Peak!
If he’s under fifty, he is undoubtedly a genius!
Beside him stands a female cultivator wearing a veil.
Since she’s veiled, Xia Liu doesn’t willingly pry.
Moreover, this female cultivator possesses an exotic force that can block divine sense.
Both should be genius figures from some power in the Myriad Realms.
Or perhaps top geniuses from nearby domains.
"You can’t even produce five hundred supreme grade spirit stones, and you dare go to the Myriad Realms?"
Attending the Golden Pill Early-Stage man was a young woman.
Though her cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
She relies on Heavenly Sect’s backing.
Even some powers in the Myriad Realms dare not anger her.
"Hmph! Not a matter of having none, but not wanting to be scammed so severely!"
The man’s clenched fists reflect his lack of feelings toward women.
This Qi Cultivation Stage woman’s cultivation is not high, yet dares disrespect him! Damn it!
"Qinghong, don’t be rude, give them the spiritual stone registration."
Just as the man was about to discipline the receptionist female cultivator, the veiled female coldly said.
"Senior Sister Qingcheng, the Zhuang Family is too outrageous!"
Qinghong directly criticized Heavenly Sect’s background.
Even outside the Myriad Realms, Qinghong has certain understandings of affairs there.
"The teleportation formation is guarded by the Zhuang Family, and the fee, reasonable or not, will be judged by someone. For us, simply reaching the Myriad Realms is enough."
"But!"
"But what? Do you intend to sword flight across a million miles?"
Qingcheng doesn’t quite understand Qinghong’s thoughts.
"But I’m out of spirit stones."
...
"Senior Sister Qingcheng, haven’t we gathered some spirit stones along the way, plus what Master honored you with, should be sufficient for us to reach the Myriad Realms?"
Qinghong rubbed his hands, eagerly looking at Qingcheng.
"Converting to supreme grade spirit stones, it’s only enough for me alone."
...
This time, it was Qinghong whose face turned grim.
"In that case, you might as well sword flight across a million miles, or go hunt and kill some spirit beasts for resources to exchange spirit stones."
Qingcheng proposes ideas to Qinghong.
"Senior Sister! Don’t abandon me! I know I was wrong! Please teleport me there!"
Across a million miles, by the time Qinghong arrives, the Suixian Conference will likely have long since ended!
"Nothing can be done, the spirit stones can only afford one person."
Qingcheng shakes her head, she wasn’t lying.
"Senior Sister! I cannot miss the Suixian Conference! I must gain fortune! In the future, I’ll shield you from wind and rain!"
"No need, I can handle everything myself."
Qingcheng replies unreservedly.
"Ah!"
Qinghong is about to break down.
At this time, aside from murder and robbery, or highway theft, how else can he acquire five hundred supreme grade spirit stones.
"Cough, cough, Daoist Fellow, the fee you need, I, Xia, will pay for you."
Just as Qinghong was about to collapse, Xia Liu, cloaked in a black robe, suddenly appeared.
And took out fifteen hundred supreme grade spirit stones, handing them over to the reception female cultivator.
"This..."
Seeing the fifteen hundred supreme grade spirit stones that appeared out of thin air, the young female cultivator is visibly stunned.
Qingcheng and Qinghong both look at Xia Liu in bewilderment.
A stranger suddenly helping out, definitely not upright!
"Daoist Fellow’s actions, surely there’s an agenda, I preemptively declare, I’m merely a cultivator from a small sect, heading to the Myriad Realms to attend the Suixian Conference, seeking opportunities for my future."
Though lacking spirit stones, Qinghong’s vigilance remains strong.
As a Golden Pill Early-Stage cultivator, he’s not easily ensnared.
"Daoist Fellow overthinks, traveling alone is tough, I, Xia, have spare spirit stones and simply wish to do some good deeds."
"Heh, I hope it’s truly as you say."
Qinghong doesn’t place Xia Liu’s goodwill to heart.
Nor does he appreciate Xia Liu’s offering.
"Daoist Fellow, your Haoran Righteous Energy, is it accumulated through such means?"
Hmm?
Upon Qingcheng’s query revealing his power, Xia Liu turns towards her.
"Senior Sister Qingcheng, you say he embodies Haoran Righteous Energy?"
Qinghong scrutinizes Xia Liu, cloaked in a black robe, clearly up to no good.
If not, why fear others seeing his true face?
"Qinghong, remain silent."
Once Qinghong refrains from speaking, Qingcheng deeply studies Xia Liu, asking again: "Is it or is it not?"
"There’s indeed some element, but I have no other intentions, just lending a hand because I feel we’re destined."
