A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 671: Marquis of Nanlong

Naturally, it was Han Li and Elder Lv who had traveled a long distance from Xi Country. As for the beautiful female cultivator, she was Mu Peiling, Han Li’s servant concubine.

The silver-haired Elder Cheng did not come along because he had to stay behind at Luoyun Sect to prevent any troublemakers from taking advantage of the situation.

According to Elder Cheng, he had attended this grand event seven or eight times already and didn’t have any urgent needs. Naturally, he wanted to give this opportunity to the younger junior brothers.

Thus, Han Li and Elder Lv appeared here.

Mu Peiling had recently broken through a cultivation bottleneck and just emerged from seclusion. When she heard that Tian Nan’s number one trade fair was about to be held, she couldn’t help but be tempted and suggested going together to broaden their horizons.

After all, if she couldn’t achieve foundation formation successfully, this trade fair might be her only chance to participate.

Han Li was not a stingy person, and since he felt the trip to the trade fair would not be dangerous, he readily agreed.

Besides, the journey was long, and having a beautiful companion was also a delightful thing.

Of course, the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain also had some cultivators either traveling together or setting out alone.

Han Li and company naturally did not wish to travel with these juniors, so they set out early and first headed toward Yu Country.

They chose a route that avoided countries aligned with the righteous and demonic paths, passing through the Nine Nations Alliance without incident, and eventually arrived near Tiantian City.

At this moment, Han Li was casually surveying the nearby scenery. Occasionally, cultivators passed by in the distance, but as soon as their spiritual awareness swept over Elder Lv and Han Li, their expressions changed drastically. None dared linger even a moment; they immediately fled as if afraid of provoking trouble!

Han Li and the middle-aged traveler did not conceal their cultivation bases. Ordinary cultivators, upon seeing two nascent soul stage cultivators together, would naturally be terrified and detour immediately.

At first, Mu Peiling was a bit unaccustomed to this, but after seeing it many times, she grew accustomed and paid it no mind.

Meanwhile, Elder Lv walked ahead, chatting amiably with Han Li.

“This trade fair has only been held in Tiantian City for about a century. Previously, it was controlled by the righteous and demonic paths, alternating between Tianluo Country and Fengdu Country. Back then, the Heavenly Dao Alliance was not yet established, and the Nine Nations Alliance was oppressed by the Mulan spellmasters. Such a lucrative event could only be controlled by those two powers. But after the righteous and demonic paths expanded, cultivators from other forces naturally no longer trusted them to host the trade fair. So from the last time onward, the hosting rights have unquestionably fallen to the neutral Nine Nations Alliance. This can be seen as a silent loss for the righteous and demonic forces after their rise!”

“Senior Brother Lv, you say it’s a benefit for the Nine Nations Alliance. However, I’m actually quite interested in the rumors about Tiantian City. It’s the only cultivator city in all of Tian Nan. I’ve heard that the allied spellmasters once fought all the way into Yu Country and were only defeated at the foot of Tiantian City by the newly allied Nine Nations cultivators using the ‘Upper Origin Extinguishing Light Formation’. I heard that in that battle, several nascent soul stage cultivators perished—it was truly fierce.” Han Li showed interest and said.

“Haha! Junior Brother Han, rest assured, Tiantian City will definitely not disappoint you. But I’ve always felt that since your last seclusion, you’ve been somewhat different. It doesn’t seem like cultivation base advancement. It seems you must have cultivated some secret technique to completion. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have this strange impression.” Elder Lv smiled and then shifted topics, probing a bit.
