NOVEL WEB Chapter 289 Cooperation
Evergreen Immortal City.
Divine Sword Sect.
Still a small courtyard.
However, the number of people had increased from the original two to three.
Today, Yang Lian ascended to the Upper Realm.
Becoming the third Ascender of the Divine Sword Sect in the Lower Realm.
Li Qian could utilize the Chen Bell, allowing his consciousness to descend into the Chenzhong Cave Heaven of the Lower Realm, so he was very familiar with the situation of the Divine Sword Sect in the Lower Realm.
Although it had only been over three years in the Upper Realm, Xingzhui had already ascended for more than one thousand two hundred years.
Originally, Yang Lian could have ascended more than three hundred years ago, but because the Divine Sword Sect did not have a new Return to Void Perfection, it was delayed until now.
Ensuring the Divine Sword Sect has a new Return to Void Perfection to preside over it before ascending was a rule set by Li Qian.
This way, the stability and safety of the Divine Sword Sect could be maintained.
Of course, after more than a thousand years of development, the current Divine Sword Sect in the Lower Realm could be considered the most powerful transcendent force in the Longevity Realm.
If not for the Sect's non-aggressive nature, it could have unified the Longevity Realm.
Li Qian estimated that in the next one or two years, several more people from the Divine Sword Sect of the Lower Realm might ascend.
Mainly because the last upgrade of the Chen Bell allowed a large number of high-level Longevity Realm experts in the Divine Sword Sect to benefit, further receiving the nourishment of Immortal Spirit Qi, achieving a Half-Immortal Body, speeding up their cultivation significantly.
Therefore, there is currently a considerable number of high-level Longevity Realm individuals in the Divine Sword Sect of the Lower Realm with Return to Void exceeding fifty steps.
"Master, I received news that the Immortal City Master will hold an auction to sell an ownerless land of Return to Void Land, and our Divine Sword Sect, as an Affiliated Hall of the Unrivaled Dao Palace, is eligible to participate in the auction."
Xingzhui said.
Since the Upper Realm Divine Sword Sect was established, she and the Ancestor Emperor mainly relied on the master's resources for cultivation, but... both of them still sought opportunities to engage in small businesses in the Immortal City, thereby earning spirit stones.
This auction information was obtained by the Ancestor Emperor.
If the Divine Sword Sect could obtain a piece of land in the Return to Void Land, they could gain higher profits.
After all, as an Affiliated Hall, the Divine Sword Sect has to pay a hundred Immortal Crystals annually, which is too much.
"The competition for this auction should be intense, right?"
Li Qian asked.
"There are said to be dozens of Affiliated Halls applying for this... To win the auction, I fear the price won't be low."
Xingzhui said.
The various organizational forces in the Evergreen Immortal City are numerous, but... there aren't that many eligible to be Affiliated Halls of the Unrivaled Dao Palace.
After all, the annual fee of one hundred Immortal Crystals is not something an ordinary organization can afford.
These Affiliated Halls are often formed by the Immortal Register Disciples of the Unrivaled Dao Palace.
"Hmm, I understand."
Li Qian nodded.
Regardless of whether they could win the auction or not, he also planned to take a look.
To develop the Divine Sword Sect, they would definitely have to be involved with the Return to Void Land in the future.
Initially, he wanted to wait until he stepped into the Heavenly Immortal and acquired the Immortal Register before making a move... but now that there's an auction for the Return to Void Land, he'll give it a try.
Ultimately, the Divine Sword Sect must find a sustainable industry... relying solely on himself to provide cultivation resources is not a long-term plan.
After leaving some cultivation resources, Li Qian left the Divine Sword Sect and went to the Evergreen Immortal City Office to inquire about the auction of the Return to Void Land, then spent a few Immortal Crystals to sign up and received an auction token.
By holding the token, he could enter on the auction day and participate in the auction of the Return to Void Land.
Returning to Luoyuan Taoist School.
Li Qian was about to head straight back to his cave residence when a young female cultivator approached him, "Junior Brother Qian Yuan, someone is looking for you."
"Senior Sister Zhang, who is looking for me?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
This young female cultivator Senior Sister Zhang was also a disciple of the Tianlan Hall Master, ranked twelfth, just one rank higher than Li Qian, the junior brother.
Senior Sister Zhang had a low presence in the Luoyuan Taoist School, gentle in temperament, but unfortunately, she lacked a bit in talent. Her cultivation within the school was at the bottom, currently only at the fourth layer of Void Immortal.
If nothing unexpected happens, this Senior Sister Zhang is likely to become a Daoist couple with a disciple from the Luoyuan Taoist School and start a family.
This is where many disciples of the Luoyuan Taoist School ultimately end up.
If their descendants possess a superior Spirit Root, they will join the Luoyuan Taoist School...
"She says she's from the Unrivaled Dao Palace, named Nan Xi..."
Senior Sister Zhang said.
"Senior Sister Zhang, where is she?"
Li Qian asked.
"She's waiting in the Moon Nesting Pavilion."
Senior Sister Zhang said.
Li Qian nodded and was about to turn away, but suddenly Senior Sister Zhang stopped him, "Junior Brother Qian Yuan, what do you think of me?"
"Uh... Senior Sister Zhang, you are gentle and lovely, many senior brothers hope to become a Daoist couple with you."
Li Qian said with a smile.
He wasn't just saying it.
Although Senior Sister Zhang's cultivation might be lacking, she was petite and charming, gentle by nature, the typical little family beauty, and reportedly pursued by some senior brothers of the Luoyuan Taoist School in private.
"Junior Brother... if you were to choose a Daoist couple, would you choose me?"
Senior Sister Zhang's face flushed, her voice lowered considerably.
Li Qian was taken aback... was this Senior Sister Zhang interested in him?
But another figure flashed in his mind, causing him to shiver instantly, remembering something else, so he chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Zhang, you're surely joking with me... I'll be on my way."
Saying this, without waiting for Senior Sister Zhang to reply, he rode his flying sword and quickly departed, leaving Senior Sister Zhang stamping her foot in frustration. She had mustered the courage to say it, but she hadn't expected such a reaction from the junior brother.
He arrived at the Moon Nesting Pavilion.
