Chapter 645 - 278: Ice Island Immortal City (Part 4)
"Alright! Senior, I will immediately request someone from our Changkong Pavilion to come over and help you with the procedures."
At this moment, Chu Ning vaguely realized that Wu Xuqiang would likely benefit somewhat from his renting of this cave mansion.
So the more spirit stones he spent, the greater the benefits Wu Xuqiang would receive.
No wonder he was so attentive and delighted.
After sending the message, Wu Xuqiang soon had someone dressed in Changkong Hall attire appear.
The person took out a jade token for Chu Ning and completed the identity verification.
Chu Ning then retrieved a bag of middle grade jade stones from his storage bag.
He actually had quite a few jade stones, having reaped a considerable harvest at the trading meeting before entering the Spirit Realm.
Later, he successively killed and obtained the storage bags of You Jing, Ao Langtian, Elder Zou, and Tie Shi, the four Golden Core cultivators.
Each storage bag contained quite a few spirit stones, so he was quite wealthy.
"I need to go into secluded cultivation for a while, will I be disturbed?"
As soon as Chu Ning said this, the two people from Changkong Pavilion laughed repeatedly:
"Rest assured, Senior, you can cultivate in peace without any disturbances.
In this Ice Island Immortal City, fighting and trespassing in other people’s cave mansions are strictly prohibited. Offenders will be hunted by our Changkong Pavilion’s Golden Core Late Stage cultivators."
Hearing this, Chu Ning handed over the middle grade spirit stones equivalent to fifty-four thousand lower grade spirit stones to the smiling Wu Xuqiang.
Just as he was about to enter the cave mansion, Chu Ning suddenly remembered something.
He said to Wu Xuqiang, "Your Changkong Hall should have some introductions to the areas around Ice Island Immortal City, like the Endless Sea ahead."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuqiang immediately took out a jade scroll from his storage bag and handed it to Chu Ning.
"Of course, Senior, since you are new here, even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I intended to give it to you.
This jade scroll includes regional introductions of the entire Northern Cold Land, as well as descriptions of some powerful demon beasts and cultivators.
It also contains a map of the area; see if it meets your needs, Senior."
Chu Ning accepted it and glanced over it with his divine sense.
Finding the contents to be quite comprehensive, he nodded in satisfaction.
He then directly entered the cave mansion, activated the restriction with the jade token, and opened the entire cave mansion’s restrictions.
He appeared ready to go into secluded cultivation immediately.
Seeing this, Wu Xuqiang and the other Changkong Hall cultivator exchanged a glance.
Without lingering, they left directly.
After walking for some time, Wu Xuqiang sighed and said:
"It seems this Senior is also a devoted cultivator. Having just arrived at Ice Island Immortal City, he already plans to go into secluded cultivation and has rented the cave mansion for as long as ten years."
Hearing this, the other cultivator laughed and said:
"Old Wu, you’re really lucky to be able to handle such a big business just by guarding a teleportation array.
However, this Senior seems quite young; it’s hard to tell his origin.
Is it because he’s genuinely young, or has he taken some special spirit pills and wondrous medicines?"
Wu Xuqiang recalled Chu Ning’s previous inquiry about whether it was possible to teleport to the Western Alliance Continent and had some vague speculations.
But he also knew that these Golden Core seniors didn’t like others gossiping about them, so he said nothing more.
He only said, "These seniors all possess divine techniques; it’s not for us to speculate recklessly."
"Indeed!"
The other person agreed, and the two chatted casually as they left.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning had entered the cave mansion and, feeling the familiar spiritual Qi, couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"The feeling of spiritual Qi, it’s been so long!"
Speaking softly, Chu Ning then released his divine sense to carefully perceive the cave mansion.
He didn’t find anything strange about the array restrictions, nor did he sense anything monitoring him.
Only then did Chu Ning take out a lot of items from his storage bag.
Most of these items were obtained from the Spirit Realm, including not just many matured herbs, but also some Spirit Plant seedlings.
Fortunately, he kept them in the storage bag with special jade boxes for preservation.
Even though six years had passed, these seedlings were still alive.
He planted all of these seedlings and released Ling Xiaobai and the two Golden Thunder Eagles.
The three little creatures, having not sensed spiritual Qi for a long time, were overjoyed once released.
At this moment, Chu Ning sensed his body’s condition, then focused on his Dantian.
There, aside from the Golden Core that hadn’t changed at all in six years,
there was also a golden seed with six strands of golden Spirit Charm Qi.
