Chapter 465 311: Red Moon Fairy

Half a month later, Li Jizhou arrived at Qingyin Valley, where he had once cultivated.

It had now become a large immortal city for cultivation.

The former Qingyin Valley grounds had become the core inner city, with the Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Vein mainly supplying cultivation for the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord, Black Flood Dragon True Man, had reached the Golden Core Peak, and it was said he was originally a loose cultivator from the southern region of Yan Kingdom.

During the righteous and demonic battle a hundred years ago, he had just completed Foundation Establishment, but during the battle, he had opportunities continuously, discovering large sects' treasure troves every few years. With numerous resources provided, by the end of the battle, his reputation suddenly rose.

Now, after the righteous and demonic battle, Yan Kingdom's major sects and forces had nearly declined, and many Nascent Soul ancestors had died, leaving figures once prominent in the Hidden Dragon Ranking like Yu Ziyu and Ye Jingyu dead or having left for distant lands.

His strength at Golden Core Peak had made him one of the elite among Yan Kingdom's native cultivators.

Having occupied Qingyin Valley for over twenty years, his influence grew larger.

And Qingyin Valley had now been renamed Black Jiao Immortal City, managed by disciples and followers of Black Flood Dragon True Man.

The Fire Domain was less than five thousand miles from here, and many observing eyes outside the Fire Domain made Li Jizhou cautious.

So he planned to stay temporarily at Black Jiao Immortal City, preparing before acting.

After paying a Spirit Stone as the city entry fee, Li Jizhou entered Black Jiao Immortal City, looking far towards the inner city's grounds where he had once formed his Golden Core in a past life.

Times have changed.

He casually found an intermediary agent to rent an independent courtyard on the city's edge.

"Senior, you're lucky today. The auction house in the city is auctioning a few major items today. If you have time, you can go take a look." The agent warmly reminded Li Jizhou after taking him to the courtyard.

Li Jizhou waved his hand, wondering what kind of worthy items could be found in a Tier Three Immortal City?

"Senior, you haven't even asked what they are?"

"What's being auctioned?"

"It's a puppet personally crafted by Master Chang Chun, fused with a Demon Core, and it's a Tier Two puppet with power comparable to an ordinary Fake Pill Master!"

Listening to the agent's excited description, Li Jizhou felt as if he was in another world.

Tier Two puppet!

Comparable to a Fake Pill Master!

In his previous life, hearing this during his Foundation Establishment Stage would indeed have shocked him.

But now, it didn't stir a single ripple.

"A puppet crafted by Master Chang Chun himself?" Suddenly, a neighboring courtyard tenant happened to open the door, asking with interest upon hearing the agent's words.

The agent quickly smiled and said: "Greetings to Red Moon Fairy, the junior's words are true. Master Chang Chun once opened a Taobao Pavilion in Liuyun Immortal City, and many of the initial goods were personally crafted by him. The puppet being auctioned today was crafted by Master Chang Chun in his early years."

"Red Moon Fairy?" Li Jizhou ignored the agent's words and only turned to look at Red Moon Fairy, an inexplicable look in his eyes.

The Celestial Punishment Order intelligence happened to include information on Red Moon Fairy.

The Fifth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ji Yue, under the alias Ji Hongyue, self-styled Red Moon Fairy, and had a cultivation at Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, consistently suppressing the Golden Core Formation for the sake of attaining the Golden Core Dharma Aspect.

The entanglement between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Jiuli Dynasty was not new, rooted in resource competition.

"Reward her!" Ji Yue smiled slightly, and an old woman behind her immediately threw a Middle Grade Spirit Stone to the agent.

"Thank you, Red Moon Fairy, thank you, Senior." The agent was overjoyed, quickly bowing in gratitude.

Completing a rental today and receiving a Middle Grade Spirit Stone reward, what a harvest!

For the bottom-level cultivators of Yan Kingdom, these twenty years have been their lucky years.

As long as one's eyes were bright, knew how to read the situation, had a sweet tongue, and showed respect, the daily income could multiply tenfold from before.

Especially for some young ones dressed in exotic clothes, they were even more like gods of wealth.

Just like these two in front, it seemed the smallest denomination of Spirit Stones they carried were Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

However, the ones they most appreciated were Master Chang Chun, because these young gentlemen and ladies from Central State were mostly attracted by Master Chang Chun.

For this reason, they would go all out to spread tales of Master Chang Chun's deeds, compiling stories that could interest those from Central State, even if it meant fabricating some.

This was the main reason why there were over a hundred versions of Master Chang Chun's tales circulating in Yan Kingdom now.

The most exaggerated were the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor or the Reincarnation Immortal Monarch.

The most conservative was acquiring the inheritance from the Moon Worship Immortal Monarch.

The most ridiculous was that Master Chang Chun was a self-sealed puppet of the Venerable of the Infinite in anticipation of the next ascension opportunity.

"Has the Daoist just arrived in Yan Kingdom?" After the agent left, Ji Yue sized up Li Jizhou, smiling and cupping her fists.

"Greetings to Red Moon Fairy, I've just arrived." Li Jizhou cupped his fists in return.

"Are you here for Master Chang Chun?" Ji Yue lowered her stance after receiving whispered advice from the old woman beside her.

Li Jizhou shook his head, then nodded: "Master Chang Chun's reputation is too famed, and I wanted to see what kind of person he really is."

"Haha, the Daoist is quite frank, may I know how to address the Daoist." Ji Yue probed.

"I'm Huang Mountain!" Li Jizhou replied casually.

"Fellow Daoist Huang Mountain, pleased to meet you! I am Ji Hongyue." At chance encounters, who reveals their true name? Everyone in the cultivation world was accustomed to it, and Ji Yue asked the name just for the sake of having an address.

"Red Moon Fairy, good to meet you."

"I happen to be going to taste the Spirit Wine here. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Huang Mountain is interested in joining?" Ji Yue originally planned to meet with the Third Prince of the Cangming Dynasty to discuss matters concerning the Fire Domain but changed her mind upon receiving her guardian elder's whispered advice, saying that the person before her was of unusual status and wanted to make acquaintance.

The Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty had formed the Golden Core when the world-renowned Dharma Aspect—Heaven and Earth Furnace—was born, which essentially settled his crown prince status.

But Ji Yue still wanted to compete a little, so over the years, in pursuit of a Golden Core Dharma Aspect ranking within the top ten, or even surpassing the crown prince's Golden Core Dharma Aspect, she was nearly obsessed.

Twenty years ago, she even desperately pleaded with the family elders to divine for her at the risk of their lives.

Ultimately, the opportunity to birth her remarkable Dharma Aspect was found in the Fire Domain of Yan Kingdom.

However, after being here for twenty years, she remained empty-handed.

Now, she was unwilling to miss even the slightest possibility.

Just now, her guardian elder said Li Jizhou was of unusual status, and she had another thought, risking it without certainty.

Receiving the invitation, Li Jizhou smiled: "I would be honored!"

He also wanted to understand why the Fifth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty had guarded outside the Fire Domain for twenty years.

Curious about what information her family elder had divined.

Whether there was a chance related to the Qilin Immortality Pill?

Seeing Li Jizhou was alone, Ji Yue specially signaled her guardian elder to sense the surroundings, receiving a confirmation response.

She looked at Li Jizhou with growing suspicion.

How could a genuine noble offspring from Central State travel without a guardian?

But upon seeing Li Jizhou's Storage Ring, which was even higher in grade than hers, and considering the old woman's discerning eye, she grew more puzzled.

Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, yet not afraid of being robbed?

Or there was another possibility.

That was, his guardian was far stronger than her guardian, at least in terms of Divine Soul, completely overpowering the old woman to the point of not being able to sense it.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt this was highly likely.

Consequently, her demeanor towards Li Jizhou became even more cordial.
