Incredible Sect Simulator

The original name of Nine Cold Mountain was Little Cold Mountain Range, which was the territory of a Tier Four demon beast, the Cyan Divine Falcon. It had been ruled by this beast for over three hundred years and was the largest demon beast mountain range on the outskirts of the Southern Wilderness.

The entire mountain range stretches from north to south, spanning over three thousand miles, serving as a natural barrier against the invasion of Southern Wilderness demon beasts into the inland of the Chu Kingdom.

Therefore, during the battles to resist the chaos of demon beasts in the Chu Kingdom, this place was an extremely important first line of defense.

Since Elder Jiang slew the Cyan Divine Falcon, he occupied this Tier Four Little Cold Mountain Range, renaming it Nine Cold Mountain.

The Celestial South Market was also established in the third year after the founding of Nine Cold Mountain.

"Such dense spiritual qi!"

"This Nine Cold Mountain is indeed a Tier Four spiritual vein!"

Riding the Flood Dragon Ship, gazing at the vast and magnificent mountain range before them, Lu Changfeng clicked his tongue in astonishment.

"When can our Cyan Mountain Sect also have such a tier of spiritual vein!"

His tone was full of envy.

Currently, the Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein is merely a Tier Two Middle Grade, which is truly far behind compared to the Nine Cold Mountain before us.

And a Tier Four spiritual vein is the most basic spiritual vein required for Golden Core cultivators' cultivation.

Under the nurturing of Elder Jiang, the tier of this Nine Cold Mountain spiritual vein has reached Tier Four Top-Grade, making it one of the highest-tiered spiritual veins within the Chu Kingdom.

Moreover, within Nine Cold Mountain, there are also nine Tier Three spiritual veins, all of which are industries under Elder Jiang's control.

Upon these nine Tier Three spiritual veins, numerous cave mansions and courtyards, as well as spirit fields and medicine fields, have been established.

Excluding the three spiritual veins where disciples reside, the remaining six spiritual veins are made available for loose cultivators to live in and cultivate at their own expense.

Elder Jiang himself resides at the place where spiritual qi converges in Nine Cold Mountain, occupying the most suitable place for cultivation in Nine Cold Mountain.

The entire Nine Cold Mountain is also protected by a Tier Four array, the 'Primordial Flame Array,' able to withstand the attacks of three Golden Core cultivators.

After over a hundred years of development, Elder Jiang's industries have already dominated the growth of the Celestial South Market, becoming the backbone of the Celestial South Market.

"The Cyan Lotus Mountain Spiritual Vein can also continue to be nurtured in the future, gradually generating more dense spiritual qi. Someday it can also match Nine Cold Mountain."

Lu Yuanshan said with a smile, "Let's go in. Flying within Nine Cold Mountain is prohibited, and it's not suitable to enter using a flying ship, so we should follow the rules."

Lu Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng nodded, and after stopping their flying ship outside Nine Cold Mountain, they opted to enter on foot.

After entering Nine Cold Mountain, the spiritual qi became even denser, and the surrounding scenery transformed into a vast and boundless marshland.

This place maintained its original ecological appearance, with occasional appearances of venomous insects and wild beasts.

As a gathering place for loose cultivators, the ecosystem here appeared quite harsh for mortals, with almost no place for mortals to stay or survive.

It is precisely because this place is not suitable for mortals that Elder Jiang, since taking over this spiritual vein, has not established a cultivation clan or even had the idea of founding a sect.

Elder Jiang himself is accustomed to traveling alone, adapted to the life of a loose cultivator, and only occasionally accepts a few disciples.

Due to the vast area of Nine Cold Mountain, by the time Lu Yuanshan entered the Celestial South Market, it was already half a day later.

The Celestial South Market is more than six times the size of the Qinghe Market, with streets crisscrossing and shops abundant and prosperous.

The passersby on the street are all loose cultivators.

Among them, Qi Cultivation loose cultivators made up the majority.

There were also a few Foundation Establishment loose cultivators present.

Many of these loose cultivators were outsiders, who came here for the renowned Celestial South Exchange Conference.

Quite a few people wore masks or disguised and altered their appearances, making it impossible to determine their true origins based on their looks.

Many were also obscure individuals.

Foundation Establishment cultivators here seemed very commonplace and unremarkable.

Therefore, Lu Yuanshan appeared very cautious and careful.

Carrying over thirty thousand spirit stones, along with treasures like Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, and Golden Silk Silkworm, he was really afraid of someone coveting his possessions.

This kind of wealth was simply a piece of meat to many cultivators, tempting enough that even Crystallization cultivators would be somewhat tempted.

Although fighting between cultivators was strictly forbidden in the Celestial South Market, and no one dared to break this rule under Elder Jiang's watchful eyes,

it did not mean that once outside the market, they wouldn't be followed or targeted.

The earlier incident where Lu Xuelian was ambushed by Chen Yuerong also served as a wake-up call for Lu Yuanshan.

Caution pays off in the long run.

In the cultivation world, as long as there is enough profit to drive it, killing and robbing treasures, breaking the rules, are commonplace happenings.

After taking a stroll around, Lu Yuanshan suggested investigating the news first.

The Celestial South Exchange Conference is set to take place in ten days, and quite a few cultivators arrived early, hoping to get a head start and learn about the situation of this Exchange Conference to prepare accordingly.

The venue for the Celestial South Exchange Conference is in the Cold Mountain Pavilion.

The Cold Mountain Pavilion is a shop established by Elder Jiang and is the largest cultivation shop in the Celestial South Market, accounting for over eighty percent of the market's revenue.

Elder Jiang himself is also remarkably talented, mastering arrays, alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, and even beast taming in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, with all his attainments above Tier Three Lower Grade.

Just from the standpoint of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, he surpassed Lu Ping.

In the eyes of loose cultivators in the Chu Kingdom, Elder Jiang is the number one loose cultivator, an unsurpassable peak.

The disciples that Elder Jiang has accepted over the years will inherit some of his alchemy and artifact refining skills according to their talents, and their attainments are quite decent.

The Foundation Establishment Pill released this time was personally refined by Elder Jiang for a young disciple.

The young disciple only needed one or two Foundation Establishment Pills to reach Foundation Establishment, and the extra pills were all placed in the Cold Mountain Pavilion.

Any elixirs or magical artifacts personally refined by Elder Jiang were not only of superior quality, but they were also reasonably priced, which attracted cultivators from all over the Chu Kingdom to come and buy them frequently.

As a reputable Golden Core ancestor, even if Lu Yuanshan and others came to the Cold Mountain Pavilion, they could not casually meet Elder Jiang.

Elder Jiang usually leads a low-profile life, with a cool temperament, making rare appearances, and the Cold Mountain Pavilion under his command is managed by his disciple, Liiu Qiumei.

After entering the Cold Mountain Pavilion, they did not see Liiu Qiumei but were greeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator who came forward to welcome them.

"I am Xuu Shangyang, it is a pleasure to meet the three of you Daoist friends," he said.

Xuu Shangyang, with a scholarly and refined appearance, looked to be in his middle years, exuding a very amiable aura, giving off a feeling as if being bathed in a spring breeze.

"Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

Perceiving Xuu Shangyang's cultivation, without the slightest concealment, Lu Yuanshan murmured quietly to himself.

Indeed, it's the Cold Mountain Pavilion, a large and prosperous establishment, backed by Elder Jiang, with even an ordinary staff member being a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not to mention Liiu Qiumei, the manager.

Xuu Shangyang, very enthusiastic, invited Lu Yuanshan and the two to another room to sit, poured three cups of tea, then asked with a smile.

"I see the three of you Daoist friends are unfamiliar faces. May I ask where you are coming from?"
