The seventh floor of Mirror Snow Pavilion, the fragrance of tea filled the air.

"What brings Fellow Daoist Long to our pavilion today?" Guu Qingzhao poured him a cup of Spirit Tea and asked.

She had heard of this reputable and powerful cultivator from Wei Country.

However, Long Daoist's whereabouts were mysterious, and the outside world knew very little about him.

After taking a sip of tea, 'Long Daoist' candidly stated his purpose: "I intend to go to Liang Country and heard that your pavilion has large merchant ships traveling between countries, so I'd like to hitch a ride."

"I see. Coincidentally, a merchant ship bound for Liang Country will be here at the end of the month to exchange goods, and Fellow Daoist Long can go along," Guu Qingzhao replied in realization.

'Long Daoist' said, "That sounds good. What would the cost be?"

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Long, being a distinguished cultivator from Wei Country, having you onboard our merchant ship is more than welcome, how could we charge you?" Guu Qingzhao said with a faint smile.

Having said that, she handed over a VIP Token to him.

In the cultivation realm, strength rules supreme, and with 'Long Daoist's' reputation as the foremost under the Golden Core, it was natural to receive VIP treatment wherever he went.

Even a major force like Mirror Snow Pavilion showed clear intentions of forming a good relationship.

"Fellow Daoist Long, you may stay at our pavilion for a few days. I'll have someone arrange a quiet upper room for you."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Guu." Qin Ming did not refuse.

While staying in Mirror Snow Pavilion for a few days, Qin Ming did not leave the premises but focused on meditation and cultivation.

Seven days later.

A giant thousand-foot dharma ship slowly entered Vast Sea Immortal City, docking at the city gate, with the unique emblem of Mirror Snow Pavilion on the mast.

Thousands of cultivators disembarked from the ship, with varying appearances, some carrying goods, some were loose cultivators, and some were sect cultivators, likely taking the dharma ship to the Immortal City from other locations.

After all, Vast Sea Immortal City was recruiting cultivators with extremely generous terms, attracting many loose cultivators and outsiders.

"Fellow Daoist Long, you may board the ship to head to Liang Country now."

"Let me introduce you, this is Huangfu Qii, Guardian of our pavilion, who is also leading the team to ensure safety on the journey," said Guu Qingzhao, with the scholarly-looking Huangfu Qii beside her.

Huangfu Qii admired the legendary stories of the burly man before him, thus he courteously spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Long, it's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Seeing is believing, haha!"

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu exaggerates. It's just some empty fame,"

Thereafter, Qin Ming and Huangfu Qii boarded the dharma ship together.

After the goods of Mirror Snow Pavilion were exchanged, many cultivators heading to Liang Country boarded the ship, and the dharma ship slowly started, setting off towards Liang Country.

Half a month later.

Mirror Snow Pavilion's dharma ship entered the borders of Liang Country.

During the journey, they encountered several attacks from demon beast packs, which were taken care of by Huangfu Qii and his team.

Additionally, there were inspections from Liang Country's law enforcement cultivators.

Recently, traces of demonic cultivators also began appearing in various countries, increasing the frequency of inspections.

"Fellow Daoist Long, we have reached Liang Country, and the destination of this merchant ship is Moyuan Immortal City in Liang Country."

"Do you have a place to go?" Huangfu Qii asked with a smile.

After considering briefly, Qin Ming replied, "I shall also disembark at Moyuan Immortal City."

Along the way, he learned a bit about Liang Country from the Heaven-Devouring Rat's mouth.

Moyuan Immortal City is the largest Immortal City in Liang Country, backed by Liang Country's overlord-level sect 'Profound Creek Valley.'

Convenient for him to gather information.

Half a day later.

The dharma ship passed through a sky-covering fog, reaching Chuzhou within Liang Country, inside a vast swamp.

The swamp was covered in poisonous miasma year-round, the mist forming a natural barrier isolating this place from the mortal world.

Various poisonous insects and fierce beasts lurked within, posing a threat to mortals and even low-cultivation cultivators who dared approach.

An hour later.

Mirror Snow Pavilion's dharma ship passed through the poisonous miasma swamp, entering a mountain range rich with spiritual qi.

Not far ahead, a massive city nestled within lush mountains came into view.

It doesn't split into inner and outer cities, rather, there are gates in all four cardinal directions.

Under the celestial vault, a bluish giant Tier Three Array enveloped the entire Immortal City.

"This is Moyuan Immortal City, truly larger in scale than even Vast Sea Immortal City, twice as big," said Qin Ming transformed as Long Daoist gruffly.

Huangfu Qii smiled upon hearing this, "This Immortal City was built by 'Yunxi' Ancestor, the founding ancestor of Profound Creek Valley, thousands of years ago, enduring to this day, ranked among the top Immortal Cities in Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm."

"Moreover, the spiritual vein environment in the city's core is a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein, comparable to Vast Sea Immortal City."

"Cultivation resources within Moyuan Immortal City are also richer than in Wei Country, even Tier Three materials are traded here."

"This attracts many high-tier cultivators to come here, and even numerous fake pill cultivators and Golden Core Masters choose to trade here for daily cultivation resources."

"Elder Yuheng of Profound Creek Valley, with mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, governs the city, even Golden Core Masters dare not recklessly cause trouble inside."

Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Mirror Snow Pavilion's dharma ship docked at Moyuan Immortal City's east gate.

"Brother Huangfu, thank you for your hospitality these past days, I have matters to attend to, farewell for now," Qin Ming said gruffly to Huangfu Qii.

Huangfu Qii smiled at this, "Fellow Daoist Long, you're too kind, until we meet again."

Huangfu Qii shared congenial spirits with him, treating him to fine wine and dishes during the trip to Liang Country, even offering a jar of Jade Qilin Wine...

After bidding farewell to him, Qin Ming arrived at the city gate, and after identity verification, he paid some spirit stones to enter the Immortal City.

He noticed that many cultivators did not pay spirit stones, and upon inquiry, he learned that those with temporary residence rights and property in Moyuan Immortal City were exempt from paying.

Following the main road, in the northern part near the core area, Qin Ming rented a cave mansion with a Tier Three Spirit Vein environment, which naturally wasn't cheap.

However, Qin Ming now didn't mind spending such spirit stones, where necessary, he would spend.

After settling in Moyuan Immortal City, through observation over the next few days, Qin Ming found many cultivators bringing young disciples to the city.

These people were likely here for Profound Creek Valley's decennial Pill Tower selection.

After all, which cultivator doesn't want to join a major sect like Profound Creek Valley?

But in the following inquiries, Qin Ming learned a rather unfavorable news.

That is, he was a step too late; Profound Creek Valley's disciple selection rigorously reviews the background and origins of recruited disciples.

Moreover, the disciples participating in this selection had already been registered a year ago.

Even successfully joining Profound Creek Valley, there is a period of probation to undergo.

Qin Ming's plan to use True Demon Illusion to mingle among them fell through immediately.
