Chapter 948: Extra: Immortal World (Five)
The guide greeted the leaders of the three major clans and forces, then took the three people who chose to be wandering cultivators onto a flying magic tool with an expressionless face.
He didn’t belong to any of the clans—he was from the Su Immortal Palace and none of the clans or forces present dared to disrespect him.
The three of them followed the middle-aged man away. The pale man in black looked at Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu with a vague look in his eyes and secretly memorised their auras.
Although the man in black’s actions were secretive, but they didn’t escape the eyes of Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu.
“I can’t feel that he has any hostility or murderous intent towards us, but why does he always stare at us?” Lou Mu Yan said to Ming Xiu telepathically in confusion.
She felt as if there was something about them that attracted that man’s attention.
Ming Xiu furrowed his brows, “I always have a feeling that that person isn’t simple. He has a strong sense of death aura around him. He must have cultivated some kind skill and he doesn’t seem to use celestial energy in his body.”
“Mm, if we meet him in the future, we should be more careful.” Lou Mu Yan said cautiously.
No matter why the other party paid attention to them, when it came to strangers, they, who were new to this, would still have to be on guard.
“Yes!”
The two and the other beautiful woman who also chose to join the outer island of Peng Ying Island followed the elderly man to the flying magic tool of Peng Ying Island.
This woman’s appearance was very bright and flamboyant, but her temperament was relatively cold, even with a sense of sharpness, which was contradictory but not glaring.
Her attitude towards Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu was also very indifferent, neither hostile nor enthusiastic. After getting on the flying magic tool, she walked to a seat alone and sat down.
Lou Mu Yan knew that this woman should be someone with a story, and she didn’t dislike her.
The two of them also casually found a place to sit down.
The elderly man didn’t remain silent after getting on the flying magic tool, but instead chatted with the three of them and spoke about the situation on the outer islands of Peng Ying Island.
“You may not know many things considering you first arrived on the Immortal World. After entering the outer island of Peng Ying Island, if you want to know more, you can ask the pupils on the other islands. If you are willing to spend celestial stones, you can also go to the special information agency on the island to buy it.
“Our Peng Ying Island is divided into an outer island and an inner island. The outer islands are filled with wandering cultivators and ascended cultivators who freely joined Peng Ying Island. They work in their own camps and are also divided into several complex groups and aren’t simple.
“After you go to the outer island, you’d better not cause trouble or be too public before completely converting your spiritual energy into celestial energy. The most important goal should be to complete the conversion of celestial energy as soon as possible.”
“Yes!” Lou Mu Yan and the others replied.
They knew that the elderly man was admonishing them in good faith. If they didn’t have the strength to match, then if they acted arrogantly as soon as they entered someone else’s territory, it was clear that they would be suppressed.
“If you have any questions, you can ask me now, and I will answer any questions that don’t involve any secrets.” The elderly man was still rather gentle.
There was surprise in the eyes of the young man standing behind him—usually, this elder wasn’t so patient. It seemed that he still valued these three people.
Before Lou Mu Yan and the others could speak, the woman sitting opposite took the lead to ask: “Senior, is killing allowed on the outer islands of Peng Ying Island?”
“Killing is naturally not allowed on the islands, otherwise once found, they would be expelled from Peng Ying Island, and those who go too far would be severely punished.”
The elderly man paused, then said with a smile: “But as long as you cross ten thousands of li away from Peng Ying Island, no one will interfere. If you really want to fight in the city, you can go to the competition grounds on the island. As long as you sign a death contract, you can kill people and no one would care.”
“Then in the competition grounds, only those who have an agreement can compete?” The woman asked curiously: “Can you challenge others?”
The elderly man saw through the woman’s intention at a glance. He smiled kindly and said: “There is a Purgatory on the island, which is specially used for challenges. If you win, you will win a large number of celestial stone rewards, and you will even be ranked over the entire Immortal Realm.”
“Ranked in the entire Immortal Realm? Does that mean that Purgatory is available in all the Major Immortal Realms?” There were small flames in the woman’s eyes, giving people a sense as if she was eager to try.
“Yes, the Purgatory Arena was established by a large force. There is also a Purgatory Ranking. Those who win consecutively in each cultivation base will be ranked in the rankings.” The elderly man nodded.
“Thank you, Senior, for your clarification.” The woman nodded and replied politely.
She entered the Path through slaughter, and she needed to participate in fighting frequently to gain more comprehension. As long as there was a so-called competition grounds, then that was good.
Lou Mu Yan also discovered the woman’s passion and desire for fighting. The corners of her lips rose—it seemed that this other party was also a fighting maniac!
“Do you have anything you want to ask?” The elderly man looked at Lou Mu Yan two and asked.
He had a good impression of Lou Mu Yan two.
“Senior, how do we usually obtain resources on the outer islands? Is there anything else besides accepting missions and participating in the Purgatory?” Lou Mu Yan asked with a light smile.
The most important thing for her and Ming Xiu right now was to convert spiritual energy into celestial energy and improve their strength, so resources were extremely important.
“In addition to accepting missions and participating in the Purgatory, one could also go to the recruitment office on the island to find a job that suits you. For example, working as an assistant in medicine for an alchemist or smith and the like can also get you cultivation resources. This is also the option chosen by most ascended cultivators.
“After all, cultivators who have just ascended to the Immortal World have no strength and no celestial stones. Basically, it can be said that they cannot move forward. They are more likely to die if they accept missions, so some people choose to endure the work first and complete the transformation to celestial energy before going to take missions in exchange for resources to cultivate.”
The elderly man smiled and continued: “Actually, Peng Ying Island can be regarded as an open and free trade island. Not only will people from the island come and go, but people from outside will also come and trade. If you want to obtain resources, there are plenty of opportunities, it just depends on how you choose.”
“So that’s how it is, thank you for your answer, Senior.” Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile.
She now basically had a deeper understanding of Peng Ying Island and was also interested in it. She liked this kind of place where she had more freedom and could do whatever she wanted.
“Senior, we can’t be like the wandering cultivators outside after joining Peng Ying Island right.” Ming Xiu asked with a deep smile: “Do we need to do anything for the island?”
It was impossible to pay nothing to get the shelter of Peng Ying Island—there was no such thing as a free lunch.
The elderly man smiled appreciatively and said: “Naturally. Peng Ying Island actually treats you cultivators who join us very favourably. The Mortal Ascension Pills for each month in the first ten years will be directly given to you, then when you transform to celestial energy, missions will be arranged to a certain extent.
“Of course, after completing the mission, there will be individual celestial stones, spiritual items, pills, and the like as rewards.
“If you want to obtain Mortal Ascension Pills after ten years, you will need to pay celestial stones or exchange mission points.”
The elderly man smiled meaningfully and continued to say: “In short, after taking refuge in Peng Ying Island, there is no problem surviving in the Immortal World, but if you want to improve your cultivation base and strength quickly, or even gain a position of power, it will take a lot of effort.”
