Chapter 1721 - 1: Snow Eagle City
On the following day, Lin Feng left the Snow Clan.
A month later, he arrived at Snow Eagle City.
Snow Eagle City is one of the eighty-one ancient cities of Beiman State, and its City Lord, Nangong Xueying, is a renowned powerhouse in Beiman State.
Three thousand years ago, a figure on the Supreme List.
Jiuzhou has two lists: the first is the Supreme List, and the second is called the Heavenly Pride List.
The Supreme List is ranked once every three thousand years.
Hosted by the Ten Great Immortal Sects, powerful cultivators from various great forces, whether from the Immortal Dao, Demon Dao, or Evil Path, can participate in this fight.
The ranking is entirely based on strength.
Three thousand years ago, Red Dust Immortal Venerable overwhelmed all and became the number one on the Supreme List.
The rise of Red Dust Immortal Venerable marked the beginning of the decline of the giant force, the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Of course, the Supreme Immortal Sect is still extremely powerful today.
Although much weaker than in the past, truly speaking, even if the other Nine Great Immortal Sects combined, they probably still would not be a match for the current Supreme Immortal Sect.
This is the foundation of the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Even with severely wounded Essence Qi, it’s still unimaginably terrifying.
Soon, the Supreme List will be re-ranked!
But many people believe that the first place will still be Red Dust Immortal Venerable.
Because.
This woman, Red Dust Immortal Venerable, is too powerful. Three thousand years ago, she had only cultivated for a thousand years and had already become the number one powerhouse of Jiuzhou. Moreover, now that three thousand years have passed, who knows to what terrifying extent Red Dust Immortal Venerable’s cultivation has advanced.
The Supreme List also only ranks the top hundred experts.
So the ranking of the Supreme List mainly focuses on contention from the second to the hundredth places.
The Heavenly Pride List differs from the Supreme List in one aspect.
The Heavenly Pride List is ranked every eight hundred years.
Moreover, it only ranks cultivators with life spans less than a thousand years.
If one’s life span exceeds a thousand years, they cannot participate in the Heavenly Pride List contest.
Each time it is ranked, the Heavenly Pride List changes, making the contest for the Heavenly Pride List extremely fierce.
Countless people are discussing the rankings of the Supreme List and Heavenly Pride List.
Of course, many people are also discussing Nangong Xueying.
Nangong Xueying’s ability to enter the Supreme List in those days demonstrates his impressive capabilities.
It’s said that Nangong Xueying has been in seclusion for a thousand years, cultivating an extremely powerful Divine Skill.
Hoping to exert immense Divine Power during the Supreme List ranking, pushing his rank higher.
Of course, this is not an easy task, as Jiuzhou has far too many strong figures, making every Supreme List ranking extremely fierce.
Sometimes, a cultivator who managed to stay on the previous Supreme List might be eliminated in the next ranking.
Cultivators pursue the Supreme List and Heavenly Pride List with such dedication because entering the lists is an ultimate honor.
But that’s not the main reason.
The reason so many top experts madly vie for the Supreme List and Heavenly Pride List is that anyone who enters the lists becomes eligible to enter the "Supreme Immortal Mansion and Jiuzhou Immortal Realm."
The Supreme Immortal Mansion is rumored to be an ancient Immortal Mansion formed before the creation of the world.
Reportedly, the Supreme Immortal Mansion conceals great secrets and countless opportunities.
Appears once every three thousand years.
Jiuzhou cultivators madly compete for the hundred places on the Supreme List to earn the quota to enter the Supreme Immortal Mansion.
The Jiuzhou Immortal Realm is reportedly created by Nuwa, Gong Gong, Kua Fu, and several other Primordial Lives as an ancient Immortal Realm.
This Immortal Realm is also filled with countless opportunities, and it even possesses the Taoist legacies and Magical Treasures of Nuwa, Gong Gong, and other Primordial Lives.
Similarly, Heavenly Prides who enter the top hundred can also enter the Jiuzhou Immortal Realm to seek their own opportunities.
...
While dining at a restaurant, Lin Feng heard many people discussing the re-ranking of the Supreme List and Heavenly Pride List; evidently, Jiuzhou’s cultivators are all focusing on the ranking of the Supreme List and Heavenly Pride List.
After a simple meal, Lin Feng found an inn, booked a room, and then headed to the Mercenary Association.
Jiuzhou also has a Mercenary Association.
But it’s said that Jiuzhou’s Mercenary Association has the backing of several Immortal Sects.
Similar to the Mercenary Association of the Heavenly Martial Continent, Jiuzhou’s Mercenary Association is also a place where information is widely circulated, enabling one to gather numerous messages.
To find his father’s old acquaintance, Senior Dugu Ya, Lin Feng planned to spend a considerable amount to have the Mercenary Association help him search.
If he were to search for Dugu Ya on his own, it would be utterly impossible to complete.
Jiuzhou is such a vast world, searching for one person is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
How could Lin Feng possibly find him?
Lin Feng met an elder from the Mercenary Association, whose surname was Liu, named Liu Boqu.
Lin Feng paid a thousand Source Crystal Stones, and Liu Boqu informed him that the quickest would be within a month, the latest within three months, and they would surely provide the results.
If after three months, the Mercenary Association couldn’t find any clues, then this person either has died or is in seclusion somewhere hidden; unless they emerge, they would be impossible to find.
Lin Feng gave his address to Liu Boqu.
Once there is news, Liu Boqu will send someone to inform him.
During this time, Lin Feng stayed in Snow Eagle City.
He continuously awaited news from Liu Boqu, but Liu Boqu was slow to deliver any news, making Lin Feng quite anxious.
However, Lin Feng also understood that even though he’s anxious, it would be of no use; he could only wait patiently for this matter.
During this period, Lin Feng visited the Jiuzhou Alliance, intending to have the Jiuzhou Alliance forge a batch of Divine Artifacts for him.
These large Commerce Alliances control numerous shops underneath them, including weapon shops capable of forging Divine Artifacts.
But the Jiuzhou Alliance’s pricing was too harsh; the Jiuzhou Alliance demanded half of the finished Divine Artifacts as payment, not Source Crystal Stones.
Lin Feng naturally disagreed.
Over the years, Lin Feng collected a wide range of materials.
Coupled with the numerous storage rings he obtained.
Many storage rings also contained precious materials.
Together, Lin Feng estimated that he could forge ten thousand Divine Artifacts.
The Jiuzhou Alliance asked for half; the cost was too great, practically bullying customers with their large stores.
After leaving the Jiuzhou Alliance, Lin Feng visited several other Commerce Alliances. Although none demanded as much as the Jiuzhou Alliance, their minimum price was at least forty percent of the Divine Artifacts.
Lin Feng did not cooperate with these Commerce Alliances; instead, he approached the Mercenary Association, requesting their assistance in finding weapon shops capable of forging Divine Artifacts.
Ultimately, through the Mercenary Association’s connections, Lin Feng arrived at the black market in Snow Eagle City.
The black market has a weapon shop capable of forging Divine Artifacts.
This weapon shop offers two payment methods: the first is paying one-tenth of the Divine Artifacts as compensation.
The second is paying at least a hundred Source Crystal Stones for each forged Divine Artifact.
Depending on the quality of the Divine Artifacts, the price of Source Crystal Stones varies, and the weapon shop provided Lin Feng with a detailed table.
Lin Feng opted without hesitation for the second payment method; in Jiuzhou, Source Crystal Stones are not so difficult to earn.
Even if he exhausted all his Source Crystal Stones, Lin Feng still had ways to earn them, but the materials required to forge Divine Artifacts were extremely hard to find.
Therefore, he could not pay the weapon shop with Divine Artifacts as compensation.
Lin Feng planned to use these Divine Artifacts to establish a powerful legion in the future.
