"No wonder fortune-tellers are so rare in the world, I almost carelessly got myself into trouble just now!"

After his breathing gradually steadied, a faint bitter smile appeared on Xu Ping's face.

This fortune-telling business is indeed too dangerous.

If a fortune-teller can't control their curiosity and acts recklessly, they might not even know how they lost their life.

Xu Ping took a deep breath, and once his mood was fully stable, he stepped out of the cultivation room.

The sunlight bathed him, bringing waves of warmth that dispelled some of the earlier gloom.

"Apologies for keeping you waiting, fellow Daoists." Xu Ping walked toward the pavilion and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, is everything prepared?" Gong Yang, seeing him, quickly stood up and inquired.

"Everything is ready, let's set off at once," Xu Ping said while nodding.

With that, Xu Ping summoned the Watershore Mouse into the spirit beast bag.

Then, the three of them flew into the sky on Escape Light, heading straight for Luoyun Immortal City.

Luoyun Immortal City is the largest Immortal City under the Luoyun Sect.

Its underground contains a near Fourth Rank spirit vein, and with the powerful support of a sophisticated array, the concentration of Spiritual Qi inside the city can easily reach Fourth Rank Lower Grade.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, wanting to rent a near Fourth Rank or Fourth Rank cave abode is clearly not feasible.

But renting a Third-rank Middle Grade cave abode is completely doable.

Coupled with the impregnable security of Luoyun Immortal City, it's undoubtedly the best place for countless loose cultivators longing to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

And this is precisely why Xu Ping chose Luoyun Immortal City as the breakthrough location for the Watershore Mouse's Third Rank.

Actually, it's not just for the Watershore Mouse; he also plans to choose Luoyun Immortal City for his own breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!

...

...

A month and a half later.

The three of Xu Ping traveled arduously and finally arrived at Yue Country's foremost city, Luoyun Immortal City!

From afar, Luoyun Immortal City's towering and incredibly sturdy city walls stretched out, extending for miles, with runes flickering on them.

The city gates stood open, throngs of people bustled to and fro, creating a lively and prosperous scene.

At this moment, Luoyun Immortal City was more bustling and flourishing than ever before.

Even though Xu Ping and the others were all late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, amidst the vast sea of people, they appeared completely inconspicuous.

"Truly a holy city of cultivation!" Gong Yang couldn't help but express his amazement, eyes full of wonder.

"Indeed!"

Duan Shuang and Xu Ping nodded in agreement.

Since the demonic invasion commenced, the crisis it holds far exceeds the potential opportunities for ordinary cultivators.

Nevertheless, the Cultivation Realm is inherently a land where strong figures emerge, with no shortage of exceptionally talented and lucky individuals rising to prominence amidst the turmoil.

This Luoyun Immortal City thrives under such circumstances, attracting cultivators from all corners of the world.

Despite their admiration for the majesty of the Immortal City, the three did not choose to continue wandering in Luoyun Immortal City, heading straight to the cave abode rental area.

...

Several hours later, Xu Ping and his companions finally reached their destination—Luoyun Studio.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait outside for a moment, I'll be right back."

Gong Yang gestured with cupped hands to Xu Ping and Duan Shuang, then turned and entered Luoyun Studio.

Luoyun Studio is the place responsible for cave abode rentals within Luoyun Immortal City, usually bustling with people, numerous cultivators seeking a suitable place for cultivation here.

Inside the studio, rows of neat tables and chairs were arranged, with quite a few cultivators already seated, either talking to the staff or reviewing jade slips recording cave abode information.

Gong Yang scanned the crowd, and soon spotted the familiar figure of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was the steward in charge of cave abode rental at this location, having known him for a long time, the two shared a considerable friendship.

Lin Xiao's physique was average, with a kind face, sitting behind a large desk handling paperwork at the moment.

Upon seeing Gong Yang approaching, a smile instantly appeared on his face as he stood up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Gong, long time no see!" Lin Xiao greeted warmly, his voice conveying familiarity.

After exchanging cupped hands and some pleasantries, Gong Yang straightforwardly said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I've come today with a request."

"I'm preparing to break through to the Golden Core Realm soon and wish to rent a cave abode with Third-rank Upper Grade Spiritual Qi."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's originally kind expression turned somewhat troubled.

He sighed lightly, leading Gong Yang to a quieter corner and whispered:

"Fellow Daoist Gong, it's not that I don't want to help, but you know the rules for renting a cave abode higher than Third-rank Upper Grade, it requires the Golden Core expert's permission."

Gong Yang nodded slightly, aware of the intricate procedures involved.

Lin Xiao continued, "But recently, the spirit beast of the Golden Core expert managing Luoyun Studio failed in its breakthrough to Third Rank.

"After this breakthrough failure, the spirit beast suffered severe Primordial Qi damage, affecting its lifespan and foundation."

"The Golden Core expert is currently in a foul mood, and none of us underlings dare to consult him on matters for fear of being unjustly punished by accident."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yang instantly discarded the notion of renting a Third-rank Upper Grade cave abode.

He knew very well that as a mere low-status Foundation Establishment cultivator with no power or influence.

Under such circumstances, how could he dare to approach an extremely upset Golden Core expert, risking further distress?

So, he could only rent a Third-rank Middle Grade cave abode.
