Chapter 209 Ancient Xuan Territory

After leaving the city gate, Xiao Lin still looked like a fifty-year-old man, trembling as he walked out of the city.

He walked for more than ten miles before performing the Flowing Cloud Light Body Technique and flew towards the depths of the mountains. Xiao Lin originally considered whether to return to the sect, but after thinking about it, he decided to search in this unfamiliar mountain range.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, even if Liu Mei did not guard him outside the city, she would definitely arrange spies in the Snow Prison Pass and the Snow Ridge Fairy City to keep an eye on his movements. As long as he entered the Snow Prison Pass, he would inevitably encounter Liu Mei's endless pursuit again.

Xiao Lin was not afraid of Liu Mei, but was worried about the Jindan ancestor behind Liu Mei. Once Liu Mei returned to the mountain to cry because she could not kill him, what if the "Fairy Liu" got angry and went down the mountain to hunt him down in person.

Then he would not even have time to report the news to his master Su Qingyun for help. If he died, Su Qingyun would not fight to the death with the "Fairy Liu" for him. After all, on the surface, the five major sects were still very united.

Although Xiao Lin did not know, the five major sects attached so much importance to unity. Who were they guarding against? Could there be a more powerful force than the five major sects united?

However, Xiao Lin was also very clear that although he was a true disciple of Dancao Mountain on the surface, he was actually not in the Golden Core stage, and he was not qualified to know some of the sect's core secrets.

Anyway, for Xiao Lin, he was only focused on pursuing the Great Dao, and he did not consider other things.

After flying through the mountains and forests for two or three hundred miles with Qinggong, Xiao Lin drove the Seven Ninja Slash and flew towards the depths of the mountains at lightning speed.

A month later, Xiao Lin landed in front of a huge fairy city. Looking at the fairy city in front of him, Xiao Lin suddenly felt like he had come from the countryside. It turned out that the fairy city standing in front of him covered an area of ​​200 to 300 miles.

The huge city wall was 30 to 40 feet high, and was built with pure iron ore. Each piece of fine iron ore probably weighed several tons. This made Xiao Lin's face full of horror. The cost of the spirit stones for the wall of this fairy city alone was probably an astronomical figure.

Outside the fairy city, there was already a long queue of people entering the city. Before landing, Xiao Lin disguised himself as a pale-faced man who looked 27 or 28 years old. His cultivation was also suppressed to the seventh level of Qi Refining by him using the Hidden Spirit Technique.

Xiao Lin consciously joined the team entering the city and waited quietly.

At this time, Xiao Lin saw that on the huge gate of this fairy city, there was a bronze plaque with four large characters "Southern Wasteland Fairy City" written in ancient seal script.

"Southern Wasteland Fairy City?" Xiao Lin's expression was indifferent, but his eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression. In his impression, he had never heard of the city of "Southern Wasteland Fairy City", and this fairy city was far away from the Wanli Snow Plain, and even farther away from the Tianlu Mountains.

In this way, this fairy city must not belong to the range of the Tianlu Mountains, which made Xiao Lin more curious about this fairy city.

At this time, several huge escape lights flew from a distance and landed outside the fairy city. The escape lights dissipated, revealing three men wearing green fish-scale battle robes. The leader looked only about 23 or 24 years old, with black hair tied behind his back, but a tuft of white hair on his forehead, which hung long on one side of his face, covering half of his face.

However, the half of his face that was exposed still showed that this young man had regular features, clear eyebrows and eyes, and could be considered a handsome man. The two men behind him were dressed in the same green fish-scale battle robes as the leader, but one of them looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with a bronze face.

The other was in his 30s, with a wide nose and a wide mouth. When he smiled, he showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, which made him look extremely ugly.

What surprised Xiao Lin was that these three people were all cultivators in the early stage of foundation building like him, and from the clothes of the three people, it was obvious that the three people belonged to the same faction.

At this time, the faces of many Qi Refining cultivators in front and behind Xiao Lin all showed envy.

"My fellow Taoist, is that person a disciple of some sect?" In front of Xiao Lin stood a young man in his twenties, holding a machete in his hand, which flashed a faint yellow halo from time to time. He was looking at the three people with an obsessed look on his face, and he made a strange "tsk tsk" sound from time to time.

Xiao Lin knew that this person must know the origins of the three people, so he took the initiative to approach and talk to them.

The young man holding the machete came to his senses after hearing this. After looking at Xiao Lin, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist, are you a casual cultivator who just came to this Southern Wasteland Immortal City? You don't even know the outer disciples of the Ancient Xuan Sect?"

"Ancient Xuan Sect?" Xiao Lin muttered in his heart. This was the first time he heard of this name. It seemed that this so-called "Ancient Xuan Sect" should be a sect outside the five major sects, but Xiao Lin didn't know how the strength of this sect compared to the five major sects?

Seeing the confused expression on Xiao Lin's face, the young man holding the machete suddenly understood that the casual cultivator in front of him, who was one level higher than himself, was still a country bumpkin. He should have practiced the cultivation method randomly in the secular world. After reaching a certain realm, he went out to look for immortal fate. By accident, he stepped on the dog shit and came to this "Southern Wasteland Immortal City".

After making up Xiao Lin's background in his mind, the young man holding the machete said, "My name is Meng Ping, what's your name?"

"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Shi." To avoid trouble, Xiao Lin used the name of his good friend Xiao Shi.

"It's you, Fellow Daoist Xiao. This is your first time in Nanhuang Xiancheng. I'm afraid you don't know about the major sects in our Southern Territory?"

Seeing Xiao Lin nod, Meng Ping's face suddenly showed a little pride, and he became more and more certain about his guess about Xiao Lin's origin.

"Well, it will take some time to enter the city anyway, so I will tell you about the distribution of forces in our Southern Territory's cultivation world." Meng Ping had obviously been waiting in line for a long time and was a little suffocated. It happened that Xiao Lin, a newcomer in the cultivation world, came here, so he naturally spoke out.

It turned out that the Southern Territory was extremely vast, covering at least tens of millions of miles. In this vast area, there were dozens of mortal countries alone, and the "Nanhuang Xiancheng" that Xiao Lin was going to enter was located in Ruanzhou in the Southern Territory, which belonged to the sphere of influence of the Ancient Xuan Sect.

The Ancient Xuan Sect is an ancient sect that has been established for tens of thousands of years. The sect's influence covers five states: Ruanzhou, Yuanzhou, Fengzhou, Qizhou, and Luzhou. Among these five states, there are more than a dozen human countries, covering an area of ​​nearly one or two million miles.

This "Southern Wasteland Fairy City" is just a medium-sized fairy city in Ruanzhou. A large number of low-level casual cultivators gather in the fairy city. Of course, there are also many seniors in the foundation-building period. After the trial outside, they will choose to settle in the fairy city.

The three people Xiao Lin saw earlier were the outer disciples of the Ancient Xuan Sect. It is rumored that the Ancient Xuan Sect has 100,000 Qi Refining, thousands of Foundation Building, and dozens of Golden Core Patriarch-level cultivators. As for the high-ranking Yuanying old monster, no one knows how many there are in the Ancient Xuan Sect.

Anyway, the cultivators who practice in these five states all regard being able to join the Ancient Xuan Sect as their lifelong goal.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was extremely shocked. If what Meng Ping said was true, then the strength of the Ancient Xuan Sect might be stronger than the combined strength of the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains where he was.

100,000 Qi Refiners? What is this concept? Dancao Mountain where Xiao Lin was located only had more than 10,000 outer disciples in the Qi Refining Stage.

Moreover, Xiao Lin knew very well that the Tianlu Mountains were located in Nanzhou and were considered part of Nanzhou. The Ancient Xuan Sect, relying on the power of one sect, dominated the five states. It is conceivable how amazing its strength was.

"Brother Xiao, the three cultivators wearing green fish scale clothing you just saw are all outer disciples of the Ancient Xuan Sect. These people are so high and mighty that no matter where they go in the five states, they are admired by others." Meng Ping touched the machete in his hand, looked at the backs of the three people disappearing in the city gate with envy, and said.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Brother Meng, for opening my eyes. I also got half of the cultivation method by chance. I was able to embark on the road of cultivation by accident. In the end, it was all due to some luck."

"Haha, Brother Xiao, there is no need to be modest. In the end, except for a few cultivators with good backgrounds, most people are like you and me. They have to rely on themselves for everything. As long as they work hard, it is not impossible to join the Ancient Xuan Sect one day." After listening to Xiao Lin's introduction to his background, Meng Ping secretly praised himself and his face was full of smiles.

"I dare not think about joining the Ancient Xuan Sect, but Brother Meng, do you know how to join the Ancient Xuan Sect?" Although Xiao Lin had not thought about joining the Ancient Xuan Sect again, he was full of curiosity about how to join the Ancient Xuan Sect.

After all, from Meng Ping's mouth, Xiao Lin knew that the number of independent cultivators in the Five States could almost be described as a sea of ​​​​people, and these independent cultivators all aimed to join the Ancient Xuan Sect one day. It can be seen that it is probably not easy to join the Ancient Xuan Sect.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, please stop saying one thing and thinking another. We are independent cultivators, rootless and floating around. Who wouldn't want to join the Ancient Xuan Sect to make the path of cultivation smoother? Besides, the method of joining the Ancient Xuan Sect is not a secret, so it's normal for Brother Xiao to know about it."

After a pause, Meng Ping continued, "There are three ways to join the Ancient Xuan Sect."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, wondering if joining the Ancient Xuan Sect was the same as joining the five major sects?

"The first way is to test the spiritual roots in the Immortal City. As long as the spiritual roots can reach the Earth Rank or above, you can directly join the Ancient Xuan Sect without even taking the test. This kind of people are simply the chosen ones of heaven, and even the road to immortal cultivation is opened for them."

"The second way is to join the Qiangu Academy. Of course, if you want to join the Qiangu Academy, you also need to go through several difficult tests. Only those who pass can enter the Qiangu Academy and become a registered cultivator. By studying and practicing in the academy, if you can reach the sixth level of Qi Refining and pass the layers of selection and screening of the academy, you can enter the Ancient Xuan Sect and become an outer disciple."

"As for the third way, there is no need for an assessment, but it is the most dangerous. That is to go to the Fengzhou White Bone Battlefield and kill ten demon cultivators. With this, you can also directly join the Ancient Xuan Sect."
