NOVEL WEB Chapter 289 Cooperation_2
Li Qian walked in and saw Nan Xi standing under a flower wall.
He was a bit puzzled, what was Nan Xi coming to find him for?
"Daoist Nan Xi."
He stepped forward to greet her.
Nan Xi turned her head, smiled softly, and said, "Brother Qian Yuan, are you interested in building an affiliated hall together with me and securing a territory in the Returning Void Land?"
Huh?
Li Qian was taken aback but then quickly realized that Nan Xi likely intended to pave the way for Refinement Returners from the Lower Realm.
After all, Nan Xi had become a Dao Fruit Level disciple of the Unrivaled Dao Palace, greatly increasing her chances of obtaining an Immortal Register in the future, thus protecting a Refinement Returner from the Lower Realm would be no problem.
"Daoist Nan Xi, do you know of any unclaimed Returning Void Land?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
"Yes, there is an auction for a Returning Void Land in Evergreen Immortal City... The Returning Void Land where I come from belongs to Evergreen Immortal City, Brother Qian Yuan, so the Lower Realm you are from should also be in that area."
Nan Xi nodded and said.
"Daoist Nan Xi, you could handle this alone, why do you want to bring me along?"
Li Qian asked.
Given Nan Xi's status, securing the Returning Void Land would be much easier for her.
Moreover, Nan Xi had a bottle of Immortal Spirit Liquid, worth tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals, so establishing an affiliated hall and securing the Returning Void Land would definitely not be a problem.
"Because you and I were once both Refinement Returners, it's as simple as that."
Nan Xi said.
And having another person can help share the risk.
"Daoist Nan Xi, actually I have already established an affiliated hall and am preparing to bid for that unclaimed Returning Void Land."
Li Qian thought for a moment and said.
After all, he wasn't particularly confident in securing that Returning Void Land.
No other reason...
His background wasn't strong enough.
He was just a servant disciple of a Daoist School, with a backing of a mentor who had just achieved the level of a Heavenly Immortal, the Hall Master of the Tianlan Hall.
And those competing for the Returning Void Land... which affiliated hall doesn't have the backing of a Heavenly Immortal or even a Mystic Immortal Level?
If Nan Xi joined, then there would be no problem with the backing.
Even though Nan Xi wasn't an Immortal Register Disciple, she was a Dao Fruit Level disciple under the Unrivaled Daoist, which was a higher status than an average Immortal Register Disciple.
"Brother Qian Yuan, establishing an affiliated hall requires an annual fee of one hundred Immortal Crystals, you...."
Nan Xi said in surprise.
A hundred Immortal Crystals a year is an enormous fortune for an ordinary servant disciple.
Even for her, a Dao Fruit Level disciple of the Unrivaled Dao Palace, it was quite a burden.
If it weren't for her splitting some Immortal Spirit Liquid worth tens of thousands with Li Qian in the Immortal Realm over a year ago, she wouldn't dare to establish an affiliated hall, much less have the confidence to bid for a Returning Void Land.
"Brother Qian Yuan, for the affiliated hall you established, I'll cover half of the cost, and for the expenses of bidding for the Returning Void Land, we'll each cover half. However, I might have less time to manage the affiliated hall in the future, so I'll have to trouble you more."
Nan Xi immediately said.
With an existing affiliated hall, bidding for the Returning Void Land becomes much easier.
"No problem."
Li Qian nodded, agreeing at once.
With Nan Xi's participation, the Divine Sword Sect's effort to secure a Returning Void Land would face much less resistance.
Otherwise, as a servant disciple without background, even if he managed to win the bid for the Returning Void Land, he would face endless troubles later.
Moreover, with Nan Xi contributing half, it could alleviate his burden.
Although he wasn't short on Immortal Crystals now, saving some is always good.
After Nan Xi left, Li Qian returned to his abode.
He sat cross-legged and summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
Host: Li Qian (Immortal Body).
Earth Immortal Realm Third Layer (88/100).
Chen Bell (Immortal Artifact 1257/10000000).
Seventh Sword of the Divine Firmament (Mastery 51/100).
Six-eyed Chaotic Luo Heavenly Divine Descent Technique (Great Descent 67/100).
Sword Dao Rhythm (Understanding Dao 95/100).
Law: Frosty Seed (Sprouting 11/100)
Qianyuan Array Manual (Foundation Sixteen 3/100).
.....
The progress in various aspects was considered decent, except for the stagnancy in the sprout of the Frosty Seed Law.
He knew that it was due to his Dao Rhythm level not being high enough; he must reach the Transformation level before he could improve the sprouting progress of the Law.
"In roughly a few more months, I should be able to ascend to the Fourth Layer of the Earth Immortal Realm."
Li Qian thought to himself.
His current cultivation speed was incredibly alarming.
Thanks to the auxiliary effects of the Chen Bell, coupled with the use of Immortal Spirit Qi for cultivation... If it were anyone else, reaching a new layer in the Earth Immortal Realm in decades would be normal.
Moreover, his progress in Understanding Dao had already reached 95, and was not far from breaking through to the Transformation level.
This effectively meant his realm advancement was quicker than his cultivation level improvement.
After all, Transformation corresponds to the Heavenly Immortal and even higher the Profound Immortal.
What he eagerly anticipated now was for his Dao Rhythm to reach the Transformation level, so that the progress of the Frosty Seed Law's sprout could improve.
Recently, he even made a special trip to the Void Twelve Pavilion of the Feathered Immortal Gate.
The so-called Void Twelve Pavilion was actually a rather unique spatial Secret Realm, housing a vast number of tomes from the Feathered Immortal Gate, including various cultivation methods and secret techniques.
The whole Secret Realm was divided into twelve layers, each being an independent space interconnected only through Transmission Arrays.
Li Qian only ventured into the first layer, which was the only one servant disciples could enter for free.
As for higher layers, only Immortal Register Disciples were eligible.
Of course, a servant disciple could ascend higher if willing to spend Immortal Crystals.
But to a servant disciple, how precious were Immortal Crystals, would they spend them in such a place?
Li Qian naturally wouldn't spend Immortal Crystals to go to the second floor...
Moreover, even the first layer's tomes were already vast and varied, providing more than enough material for Li Qian to study.
