"So, if possible, one should live in a place like Blood Peak City where Golden Core Realm powerhouses are stationed, to truly be considered safe,

it's just unfortunate that we all have large family responsibilities to manage and can't get away.

And trying to move the entire family into Blood Peak City, we're not financially strong enough."

Xu Jia couldn't help but express her feelings.

The others were silent as well.

If they were loose cultivators, alone with no family ties, they could live freely in Blood Peak City, secured by the protection it offers with their Enlightenment Realm strength.

But the family included over a hundred Immortal Cultivators, along with hundreds of thousands of ordinary clan members, which was a huge burden.

Their achievements relied on the support of countless clan members, creating a dependent relationship that couldn't be severed.

*Bai Ziyue might not understand their attachment to home, but he knew that Immortal Cultivators, though transcendent, were still truly 'human.' Being 'human' meant having emotions, attachments, and pursuits.*

*Moreover, due to their powerful strength and firm beliefs, Immortal Cultivators had deep obsessions.*

*Throughout their lives, many worked diligently for the family, sect, or their own forces, contributing to development commonly.*

*Even Bai Ziyue had obsessions in his heart.*

*However, his obsessions differed from Xu Jia and others who were focused on family; he was driven by the rapid ascent of his power, seeking extreme elevation to reach the Golden Core Realm, Primordial Spirit Realm, and even higher...aiming to witness the sun, moon, and stars, to observe the lands and rivers of the world, achieving true freedom, leisure, longevity, and transcendence.*

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The journey went smoothly.

Even though they spotted several traces of Immortal Technique Thieves along the way, upon noticing Bai Ziyue, the Divine Realm powerhouse, among them, all backed away immediately.

They dared not make a move.

Thus, as the third day's night was about to descend, in the distance, a city completely surrounded by a blood-red, gigantic mountain appeared in front of everyone.

The mountain stood three thousand feet tall. Various pavilions, courtyards, and cave residences were nestled within.

At the foot of the mountain was an enormous Immortal City, covering an area of dozens of miles, resembling an ancient beast of the wild.

The Immortal City had a history spanning three thousand years. Spiritual Qi soared to the skies, carrying an ancient aura.

"We've arrived!"

"Finally here!"

"Blood Peak City is here!"

The group let out a long breath of relief.

Only here did they truly relax.

Because around Blood Peak City, city guard cultivators constantly patrolled, protecting against various dangers; neither Immortal Technique Thieves nor Demonic Cultivators dared to show up in the vicinity.

"So this is Blood Peak City?"

Bai Ziyue's gaze was filled with amazement.

Blood Peak City might not seem imposing at first, looking as if it had no barriers and could be traversed freely, but in truth, the entire city, including the massive blood peak, was shrouded within a Fourth-Grade High-tier Grand Array.

Not only was its defense incredibly strong, but it also had countermeasures. Even Golden Core Realm Cultivators, or Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouses, would suffer greatly if careless.

Bai Ziyue sensed the array's mighty power. Even standing outside the array, he felt the vast and oppressive force within.

The force brewing within left him with no doubt that should it fall upon him, despite his Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light Perfection and various defense techniques, he would be instantly crushed to ashes, completely obliterated.

*It was terrifying.*

"Let's go, into the city!"

With a low shout, the group swiftly headed toward the immense city.

However, upon formally entering the city, everyone put away their respective Spiritual Artifacts used for travel.

To avoid trouble, Bai Ziyue, under the resentful gaze of the White Tiger Great Demon, also retracted it into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

"Blood Peak City, although called a city, is actually the largest Immortal Market within the entire Qingxu Sect territory. Most of the industries are controlled by the Qingxu Sect,

but besides the numerous shops operated by Qingxu Sect, there are also many shops run by other sects, forces, Immortal Cultivation Clans, or loose cultivators. Various Magical Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, materials, Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicine, and talismans can be found here.

It is quite convenient."

"Speaking of this, one cannot help but envy Patriarch Xu, who owns a small market. Spirit Stones flow in rapidly, and his financial resources are robust. Years ago, he established an industry here.

Not to mention how many Spirit Stones he earned, at least here, it counts as a foundation."

Qiu Dashang and Wang Dalong both spoke in succession, looking at Xu Jia, the patriarch of the Xu family, with eyes tinged with envy.

"You only see me eating meat, but you don't see me getting beaten.

Are you unaware that every market is the target of those Immortal Technique Thieves and Demonic Cultivators with green eyes? To prevent incidents of murder and looting, every few years, disciples of my Xu Family get seriously injured or even fall."

Xu Jia, understanding the principle of keeping wealth hidden, hurriedly offered an explanation before changing the subject and said to Bai Ziyue, "Although most of the shops in Blood Peak City are permanent, every ten years, during the Qingxu Summit, stalls are set up specifically for exchanges between family cultivators and Loose Cultivators from various places.

Some special products can only be produced in certain areas or within certain Immortal Cultivation Clans.

Even some Spirit Wines and delicacies are loved by disciples of the Qingxu Sect.

Especially the Time Wine from the Zhang Family, which, I've heard, is favored by a Divine Realm powerhouse of the Qingxu Sect. This time, there's no need to set up a stall at all, and they can sell the Spirit Wine to exchange for a large sum of Spirit Stones."

"Elder Kunlun, if you're interested, perhaps you should visit as well. You might find something worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ru couldn't help but smile smugly.

Bai Ziyue nodded silently, but his gaze subtly scanned the surroundings. He noticed that a Qiu Clan elder had hurriedly left first, but it had little to do with him, so he did not ask further.

Blood Peak City was indeed incredibly vast. Walking through it, they didn't seem crowded, yet from a distance, the flow of people was considerable. Moreover, there were massive Guardian Beasts hauling goods that weren't convenient to store in Storage Bags.

Additionally, within the city were stone mountains and flowing streams, and a number of spirit trees exuded Spiritual Qi. With these stone mountains and spirit trees as decorations, the scenery appeared quite enchanting, distinct from ordinary mortal cities, naturally exuding a sense of Immortal energy.

Bai Ziyue looked at each one, feeling a sense of relaxation and joy.

Soon, under the guidance of several family patriarchs, they arrived at the foot of the towering Blood Peak.

"This Blood Peak itself is a giant Spirit Meridian. The higher the peak, the denser the Spiritual Qi. It's said that at the highest point, it reaches the Fourth Grade, constantly overseen by a Golden Core Realm True Monarch, True Monarch Lingjiu.

Now, with ten days left until the official start of the Qingxu Summit, we all intend to choose a cultivation residence here to settle in and cultivate.

Elder, as a Divine Realm powerhouse, you certainly couldn't tolerate the lower layer's Spiritual Qi environment, so I took the liberty of selecting for you a cave abode with Third-Grade Spiritual Qi, where you can reside temporarily.

This Third-Grade cave abode not only has a Cultivation Secret Chamber but also directly channels Earth Fire, possessing an Earth Fire Alchemy Room, which should meet your wishes."

Qiu Dashang said this and reached out to receive the jade token from the Qiu Clan elder who had been waiting there, respectfully handing it to Bai Ziyue.

It was then that Bai Ziyue understood why the Qiu Clan elder had left earlier, though he wasn't about to take advantage of this favor from the Qiu Family without reciprocating, so he asked, "How much did it cost in Spirit Stones?"

"Elder, you're being too polite. It's just a short-term rental for half a year and doesn't cost many Spirit Stones. Besides, the matter of Spirit Pills still needs your attention. Compared to the Spirit Pills, this expense is nothing at all."

Qiu Dashang, feeling the sting of the cost, still feigned generosity.

"*For cultivators like us, we do not fear ghosts or gods, but we also don't want to incur karma.*

*In that case, let me deduct these costs from the Alchemy.* What Spirit Pill does your Qiu Family plan to refine?"

Bai Ziyue asked with a slight frown.

Qiu Dashang felt excited, knowing that although Bai Ziyue did not accept his goodwill openly, he felt the sincerity, prompting him to inquire, so he no longer hesitated and answered quickly, regardless of Xu Jia, Wang Dalong, and others around him, "Naturally, the Enlightenment Pill."

"If the materials are prepared, I can start the furnace for Alchemy today."

Bai Ziyue nodded indifferently as he spoke.

"Elder, you can still refine the Enlightenment Pill?"

Beside him, Xu Jia, Wang Dalong, and Zhang Ru, upon hearing this, were shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.

The information they had about Bai Ziyue came from Qiu Dashang. Although they had heard that Bai Ziyue was also an Alchemist, they subconsciously assumed his Alchemy skill wasn't too profound.

After all, judging from his appearance, he seemed too young. With such an exceptional Immortal Technique Realm, it was natural to think he had less time for other skills.

Moreover, they knew that many Divine Realm powerhouses, upon discovering a sudden awakening of their talents, start delving into various Hundred Skills of Cultivation. Bai Ziyue was assumed to have just realized his Alchemy talent and thus began learning Alchemy, presenting himself as an Alchemist to others.

*Such stories were common.*

*In their view, it was even a kind of amusing anecdote.*

So, they never specifically inquired about Bai Ziyue's Alchemy prowess.

They assumed his Alchemy skill likewise wouldn't be too advanced, at most reaching First-Grade Middle-tier or First-Grade High-tier levels, and rarely would it be higher than Second-grade.

After all, Alchemy requires extensive time for study and research, requiring resources and effort beyond mere talent.

The previous attempts to curry favor and build friendships were mostly due to his Divine Realm Immortal Technique Realm.

After all, befriending such a powerhouse naturally holds a deterrent effect against other forces, which naturally benefits their family development in certain ways.
