Chapter 323: Chapter 197: Rebirth and Unexpected Changes

Translator: 549690339

The highest immortal city in the Daqian Immortal Country, undoubtedly, is the Daqian Immortal City, also known as Qiandu.

This immortal city has a history of 8,000 years.

The second-ranked immortal city has no dispute either, that is Shu Du.

The history of Shu Du is much older than Qiandu, boasting tens of thousands of years of history.

Aside from Qiandu and Shu Du, there are several other immortal cities that can be considered large scale, among which are eight in Qianzhou and five in Shu State.

Qianzhou has Yujing, Wanxing, Taixu, Chixiao, Jinyun, Baxing, Evil Suppression, and Dongding.

Shu State has Southern Dipper, Zhennan, Wanfa, Pingnan, and Tongyun.

At the moment, Han Yi is looking at one of the large immortal cities, the Jinyun Immortal City.

The grandness of Jinyun Immortal City is, of course, far inferior to Qiandu and Shu Du, but for Han Yi, it is much more shocking than any other giant cities.

This large city is more than ten times bigger than the five immortal cities outside the Xuandan Sect, that is to say, Du Ping, Dongding, Likang, Tongbao, and Hongluan combined. However, compared with Qiandu or Shu Du, it only amounts to one percent of these two central cities of the state.

Outside the Jinyun Immortal City, there were no cultivators from the Daqian Six Ministries on patrol. However, when Han Yi entered the city, he noticed the divine sense of Gold Core cultivators sweeping over his body.

Nevertheless,

The divine sense that swept through was not particularly detailed, just a routine inspection.

Following Liu Ruyan’s information, Han Yi headed straight for the Immortal Pavilion.

Yes, it was not the Profound Immortal Pavilion, but the Immortal Pavilion.

After entering the Immortal Pavilion, Han Yi presented the Myriad Immortal Command. The shopkeeper’s face showed respect, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a Myriad Immortal Command is certainly no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Within the Immortal Pavilion, the Myriad Immortal Command is given to important customers who, with their strength or wealth, surpass ordinary cultivators.

“Shopkeeper, help me take a look at this sword.”

Han Yi took out the damaged Black Light Broken Sword and handed it to the shopkeeper with an annoyed expression.

“This sword is called the Black Light Sword. I bought it from the Xuanxian Pavilion half a year ago. I just entered the Evil Mountain Range once, confronted a Foundation Establishment Peak demon cultivator, and this sword was shattered by that demon’s innate supernatural power.”

“Hmph, I’m pissed too. Isn’t this outright deception?”

“Help me evaluate if this sword is really a Spirit Sword that has fallen in its rank.”

“If it is, I’ll have to settle accounts with the shopkeeper named Zhuo Qun.”

At the moment, Han Yi’s appearance is not his original look, nor does he look like Han Yi from Earth.

He transformed into a Qi Cultivation senior brother he had met on Little Lingxu Peak. That senior brother had a burly figure with a fierce appearance and huge eyes filled with astonishment. One glance at him would tell he was not to be trifled with. His aura was maintained at the real cultivation level of the Foundation Building late stage.

This was his plan.

It took him a full ten days to travel from Qiandu to Jinyun Immortal City. In these ten days, some simple clues were already erased by someone. Investigation would be far from easy.

Moreover, if someone was really targeting the Xuanxian Pavilion, they would’ve anticipated the Xuanxian Pavilion’s follow-up investigation, so would they have set a trap for the cultivation investigator?

This speculation has a high possibility, so Han Yi decided to jump out of the set story framework and choose to investigate from the periphery, without the identity of a cultivator of the Xuandan Sect, to scrutinize the disappearance of Zhuo Qun.

The Immortal Pavilion was his first stop.

After evaluating the Black Light Broken Sword for a quarter of an hour, the Foundation Establishment late stage shopkeeper finally put the broken sword down. After all, according to the pavilion’s requirements, for a cultivator with a Myriad Immortal Command, the Immortal Pavilion must provide services to the utmost.

“Fellow Daoist, this sword of yours was indeed a Spirit Sword before falling in its rank. It is called the Black Light. Its full color is black, and the word ‘Black Light’ is engraved on the sword’s body. However, this sword was originally broken, and the tip has been broken for nearly eighty years.”

With a puzzled look on his face, the shopkeeper continued, “However, the crack that extends from the broken sword’s cross-section to the hilt is indeed recent.”

In the end, although puzzled, the shopkeeper still made a summary after his professional evaluation.

“In short, the name of this sword should be Black Light. It was a Spirit Sword that broke its tip eight years ago, and since then, it fell from a magic treasure to a high-quality magical tool. In recent years, it collided with some hard magical tools, causing the sword’s body to crack and is now on the verge of complete scrapping.”

Transforming into a strong and vicious-looking Han Yi, within his heart, he could not help but admire the shopkeeper’s professionalism. However, he let out a heavy snort on the surface, attracting the attention of surrounding cultivators.

“Ridiculous, this sword was clearly sold to me by the shopkeeper of the Xuanxian Pavilion named Zhuo Qun. I’m not blind, of course, I can see clearly whether the sword has a tip or not, unless Zhuo Qun has set me up using some method.”

“Shopkeeper, let’s go to the Xuanxian Pavilion and confront Zhuo Qun. How dare he sell fake magical tools to me? I will definitely smash his signboard..”
