Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 92 Farewell to Qingzhou

Three days later.

Du Fan, sitting cross-legged, frowned, his body trembled slightly, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, as if he were experiencing some kind of pain.

After about half an incense stick's time, Du Fan's complexion began to regain its rosy hue, and the pain on his face suddenly disappeared.

A short while later, he let out a comfortable moan, exhaling a visible cloud of stale air. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Finally, I've broken through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage." Du Fan took a deep breath, a gleam of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Having just broken through a minor realm, I should consolidate it," Du Fan thought, his eyes gleaming.

He hesitated between the Qi Refining Oil and the Qi Refining Pill. After pondering for a while, he finally sighed and gave up on trying the Qi Refining Oil. Given the current special circumstances, it was best to proceed with caution.

He opened the bottle, took out a Qi Refining Pill, swallowed it, and then planned to begin refining the medicinal power.

A moment later, after sensing the changes in his body from the pills, he frowned slightly and swallowed two more Qi Refining Pills without hesitation before sitting down to meditate with a satisfied expression.

For the next period of time, Du Fan basically stayed in his room taking Qi-refining pills to consolidate his cultivation and did not go out. Of course, even if he wanted to go out, he couldn't.

Although everyone in the alliance treated Du Fan with great courtesy, they all knew that Du Fan was under house arrest, just like being placed under house arrest.

What a joke! If such a precious living treasure were lost, Mo Wuyou might as well just kill himself.

Du Fan naturally understood the other party's thoughts and cooperated without causing any trouble. He simply sent someone to the Hunter's Guild to inquire about the progress of his bounty mission.

However, the news I received was that my mission had been taken over by a group of ordinary mercenaries, but it had not yet been completed.

He was helpless; this kind of thing couldn't be solved by rushing, so he put it aside for the time being. He had done all he could, and now it was up to fate.

Besides, he should be more concerned about himself right now.

……

Half a month later.

In an elegant room at the Sangcheng branch of the Seven Stars Merchant Alliance, Mo Wuyou and Du Fan sat together. Mo Wuyou's face was beaming with joy, and he spoke with great enthusiasm and radiance.

Du Fan, standing to the side, had a furrowed brow and looked preoccupied.

"Fellow Daoist Du, this is absolutely a great thing for both of us, so why do you have this expression?" Mo Wuyou looked at Du Fan with a puzzled expression, despite his joy.

"Senior Mo, since it's an order from the Alliance, I naturally can't refuse. However, I still have some questions, and I hope you can enlighten me." Du Fan took a deep breath, his brows barely unfurrowing as he said helplessly.

"Haha, as long as Fellow Daoist Du agrees to go, there will be no problem. As for the rest, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to be polite. Just ask me anything. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything I know!" Mo Wuyou was even more delighted upon hearing this. He stroked his beard and said cheerfully.

"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. Is there any danger on this trip to your alliance's headquarters? Will I be restricted in my personal freedom?" Du Fan coughed lightly and asked the question that worried him the most.

Mo Wuyou was taken aback by Du Fan's direct question. He did not answer immediately but pondered for a moment.

After a long while, Mo Wuyou sighed softly and said indifferently, "Since Fellow Daoist Du is a straightforward person, then I will speak frankly as well."

The fact that the Alliance invited you here means they have something to ask of you. Since they have something to ask of you, your safety will be guaranteed.

As for the so-called personal freedom, even if I said there were no constraints, you wouldn't believe me, since your trip is in cooperation with my Seven Star Merchant Alliance. Therefore, your daily activities must be within the sphere of influence of our alliance.

However, Fellow Daoist Du, there is no need to worry too much. In my opinion, this trip is a great opportunity for you. You will understand the strength and influence of the Seven Star Merchant Alliance in the Nine Provinces Continent in the future.

Moreover, Vice Alliance Leader Xiao made it very clear in the letter that this was a cooperation with fellow Daoists, not enslavement. Those who cooperate with my Seven Star Merchant Alliance will certainly receive more benefits and treatment.

Vice Alliance Leader Xiao also said that she would take you to the main alliance as soon as possible, as she wanted to see you in person. This is enough to show how much Vice Alliance Leader Xiao values ​​you.

For cultivators, the most important thing is cultivation itself. Fellow Daoist Du, to have such an opportunity at such a young age is truly a stroke of good fortune!

"Thank you for telling me the truth, Senior Mo. I will do my best on this trip. I have one last question. Where is the headquarters of the Seven Star Merchant Alliance?" After thinking for a long time, Du Fan's expression gradually softened, as if he had figured something out. He let out a long breath, his eyes flashed, and he asked again.

"The Grand Alliance is naturally located in the holy land of cultivation, Zhongzhou!" Mo Wuyou's eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression instantly became arrogant.

Half an hour later, Mo Wuyou and Du Fan appeared in a secret room.

Inside the secret chamber, there was nothing but an inconspicuous magic array.

This magic array is only about ten feet in size, and is entirely gray-black in color. There are not many runes on it, and they are somewhat incomplete. However, this magic array gives people a sense of profound mystery, as if there is an indescribable terrifying energy contained within it.

However, Du Fan was naturally unable to discern the hidden secrets within this formation; in his eyes, it was merely a broken magic array.

"Senior Mo, are you sure this is a teleportation array? It can teleport us to Zhongzhou, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away?"

Actually, I am not very talented, but I have seen a large teleportation array. That array was at least a hundred feet in size, with dense runes on it, and its power was earth-shattering as it circulated with spiritual light.

Even if this array isn't as powerful as a large teleportation array, it should be close. If we use this incomplete array and something goes wrong during teleportation, the consequences could be unimaginable. We might even be torn to pieces... This..."

Given Du Fan's personality, he wouldn't be so indecisive unless absolutely necessary. However, in his view, teleportation was an extremely mysterious matter, as if it involved an unknown and uncontrollable danger, which forced him to be cautious.

"What broken formation! What dismemberment! What nonsense are you spouting! How can your Kongsang Sect's teleportation formation compare to this one? Your large formation can only teleport half the distance of Qingzhou at most, and it's only for one use."

This magic array of our alliance is a super teleportation array, also known as a super teleportation array. It can teleport across states. Its rarity is beyond your imagination. There aren't many like it in the entire Nine Provinces Continent. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!

Upon hearing Du Fan's words, even Mo Wuyou, with his composure, was almost so angry that he nearly fainted. He glared at the other party fiercely and said irritably.

"Ahem... I apologize. I only had some doubts and did not mean to slander your alliance. Please forgive me, senior." Du Fan realized he had been somewhat rude, so he coughed lightly and awkwardly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"snort!"

Mo Wuyou snorted heavily, suppressing his anger, and with a flick of his hand, took out four spirit stones.

Each of these four spirit stones is the size of an egg, crystal clear and flawless, with a layer of misty light emanating from their surface. They are clearly four high-grade spirit stones, worth 40,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Watch closely, each teleportation using this formation requires four high-grade spirit stones!" Mo Wuyou glanced at Du Fan and said in a deep voice, clearly still somewhat angry.

Upon hearing this, Du Fan naturally smiled sheepishly and quickly agreed.

With a flick of his wrist, Mo Wuyou accurately placed the four high-grade spirit stones in his hand into the four grooves on the magic array in front of him.

Contrary to Du Fan's expectations, the super teleportation array, which was about ten feet in size, did not emit a loud buzzing sound or a blinding light. Instead, it only had a layer of faint, invisible, strange light intertwining and flowing silently.

"Let's go, the magic array is already activated." A few breaths later, Mo Wuyou's expression softened, and he stepped into the super teleportation array first.

Du Fan naturally had no objections. He took a deep breath and followed Mo Wuyou into the magic array.

A moment later, the super teleportation array trembled slightly, and Du Fan and Mo Wuyou on it began to blur, as if they were phantoms. A few breaths later, they completely disappeared from the spot, and the four high-grade spirit stones in the groove turned into powder in an instant.

……

Zhongzhou, located in the center of the Nine Provinces continent, has a population and land area far exceeding those of the other eight provinces. It is vast, almost boundless; numerous powerful nations stand side by side; high-level cultivators are as numerous as the stars; and rare and precious natural treasures are countless.

Other states may have only one or two large sects at most, but Central State has as many as six large sects. In addition, there are twelve great cultivation families, tens of thousands of small and medium-sized cultivation sects, and countless cultivation clans and mysterious organizations.

Of course, this does not include the three super sects. These three sects are the best in the Nine Provinces: Wentian Sect, Qixia Sect, and Yandang Sect. Among them, Wentian Sect is the number one sect in the Nine Provinces.

There are many standards for measuring the strength of a sect, such as the sect's foundation, the overall cultivation level of its disciples, or the quantity and power of its top-grade magic treasures. However, for the Wentian Sect, only one standard is sufficient.

Wentian, the current patriarch of the Wentian Sect, is the only Nascent Soul stage expert on the Nine Provinces Continent. Even those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage must respectfully address him as "senior."

Therefore, the Wentian Sect has firmly held its position as the number one sect in the Nine Provinces Continent, and its influence has lasted for a long time.

Besides the numerous cultivation forces of varying sizes scattered throughout the land, there is another special entity: a merchant alliance that spans the entire Nine Provinces Continent. Its influence is unparalleled in the Nine Provinces, and even large sects have to be wary of it. This merchant alliance is the Seven Star Merchant Alliance, and its headquarters is located in the Central Province.

Therefore, Zhongzhou is undoubtedly the largest state on the Nine Provinces Continent and is known as the holy land of cultivation.
