Even if he turned into an evil cultivator and killed passers-by,
as long as no one discovered him, he could still pretend to be a normal cultivator.
Without danger or difficulty, He Song traversed a vast territory and saw many different sceneries which were completely different from when he was underground.
Seeing this, He Song couldn’t help but sigh.
If one’s strength is sufficient, staying underground all the time is not ideal.
Doing so would make one miss a lot of unique scenery.
After climbing over a high mountain,
He Song faced the mountain breeze and looked towards the distance beyond the mountain.
In an instant, He Song widened his eyes, his gaze firmly locked onto the giant city in the distance.
A giant city!
A real giant city!
Green Wall Immortal City, built entirely of massive green stones, had city walls stretching for countless miles in vibrant green, like a colossal green dragon spanning across all directions.
“Green Wall Immortal City, as its name implies, is built entirely of a type of massive green stone, making it incredibly sturdy.”
Seeing He Song’s astonishment, Wei Fan took the opportunity to explain.
However, even though Wei Fan had been to Green Wall Immortal City many times, he still felt a deep sense of awe every time he looked at the city from afar.
This was the true Immortal City.
The real gathering place for cultivators.
Unlike Immortal Pavilion, which merely served as a trading hub for nearby cultivators.
“Let’s go; Lao Meng must be anxiously waiting.”
After one last glance at the majesty of Green Wall Immortal City from afar, the awe in He Song’s eyes quickly faded, and he urged Wei Fan on.
Wei Fan nodded, and the two sped forward, heading towards Green Wall Immortal City.
Cultivators traveled at great speed.
Soon, the two arrived at one of the city gates of Green Wall Immortal City.
After paying a spirit stone as the city entrance fee, He Song finally entered Green Wall Immortal City with Wei Fan’s guidance.
They didn’t linger in the city.
Soon, the two followed the address Meng Guan had given them to find Meng Guan’s residence in Green Wall Immortal City.
Meng Guan’s residence was located in the west of the city, a quiet and secluded courtyard.
Unlike the bustling streets nearby, the area around this western courtyard was very peaceful.
There were few cultivators around, but many ordinary people walking back and forth.
He Song was slightly surprised at this, but once he realized that Green Wall Immortal City was a place where both ordinary people and cultivators lived together, he understood.
Cultivators wouldn’t personally do every single chore, so it was normal to have some ordinary people serving them.
In this place, ordinary people who had been rarely seen in Immortal Pavilion were numerous.
Together, the two arrived at the entrance of Meng Guan’s courtyard.
They knocked on the door, and soon, hurried footsteps came from within the courtyard.
Immediately after, an old man with rosy cheeks, white hair, and white eyebrows opened the door, smiling joyously as he invited the two in.
The old man was Meng Guan.
After inviting He Song and Wei Fan into the courtyard, and personally pouring them tea,
Meng Guan’s joyous expression showed no sign of fading.
“I’ve been eagerly waiting for my two friends here, waiting day after day and night after night. Finally, you’ve arrived.”
As he spoke, Meng Guan stood up and greeted He Song and Wei Fan with a cupped fist salute.
He Song and Meng Guan hastily returned the gesture.
Then they exchanged pleasantries for a while.
It wasn’t until then that Meng Guan talked about his experiences in the past few years with He Song and Wei Fan.
Fourteen years ago.
Meng Guan left the Red Spirit Gold Mine and returned to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, inviting Wei Fan to accompany him to the Green Wall Immortal City to buy Breakthrough Elixirs.
Since then, he had broken through to the Qi-refining late stage.
From that moment on, Meng Guan settled in Green Wall Immortal City and began to desperately search for cultivation resources.
However, it proved to be extremely difficult to break through to the ninth-tier Qi Refining in just fourteen years with his Five Spirits Roots aptitude starting at the seventh-tier Qi Refining.
In the beginning, Meng Guan still had some confidence.
But as time went on, after six years, he finally succeeded in breaking through to the eighth-tier of Qi Refining status.
His confidence dissipated more than half as a result.
The reason was simple.
The spirit power required to accumulate in the Qi-refining late stage was just too vast.
Even if he had been desperate enough, taking on various dangerous tasks in Green Wall Immortal City that yielded high returns.
Still, cultivation resources were always in short supply.
The lack of cultivation resources meant that his chances of successfully cultivating to the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm before the age of sixty were greatly reduced.
But, having already decided to risk his life for a path forward early on, he knew there was no turning back.
Instead of giving up just like that.
It would be better to keep fighting, even if it meant death in the end, without leaving any regrets.
Therefore, after realizing this, Meng Guan put in even more effort.
Various dangerous tasks in his hands were completed beautifully under his brave, cautious, and not weak abilities.
With the continuous inflow of cultivation resources, his fighting and combat experience had improved tremendously.
Six years, from the seventh-tier Qi Refining to the eighth-tier Qi Refining.
This cultivation speed was already extremely fast.
But it wasn’t enough!
If he continued at this speed, Meng Guan’s chances of cultivating to the Qi Refining Great Perfection before the age of sixty were infinitely close to zero.
However.
Meng Guan did not choose to give up.
Even if he felt that his path was already cut off, and his previous bold words were just an unrealistic dream.
But until the end, until he turned sixty, he would not give up.
As such, he struggled through various dangerous tasks for more than three years.
One day, the news that the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team was recruiting Loose cultivators suddenly spread throughout the entire Immortal City.
Some people thought that too many people had died in the Law Enforcement
Team, and they wanted to recruit Loose cultivators to serve as cannon fodder.
Others felt that the evil cultivators outside the city were becoming too rampant, and the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team wanted to expand its manpower to catch them all at once.
There were even more opinions…
However, in Meng Guan’s eyes at the time, the treatment offered by the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team’s recruitment of Loose cultivators was extremely generous.
Once joining the Law Enforcement Team, they would receive a large amount of spirit stone as the monthly payment, from killing Evil Cultivators, and confiscate everything they possessed without the city taking a share.
This generous treatment made Meng Guan’s heart burn with eagerness, and he signed up at once.
To be able to cultivate to the Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm before the age of sixty, and have the opportunity to step onto the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He was already willing to risk his life for that, so why should he worry about dying?
In addition to the accumulated rich experience and dangers he had encountered for a long time, his fighting and combat experience were extremely rich, and his personal strength was not weak at all.
Joining the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team seemed like an opportunity for him.
With that in mind, Meng Guan resolutely joined the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and successfully became a member.
By that time, he had been in the eighth-tier of Qi Refining for more than three years, and only a few years were left before he turned sixty.
Perhaps it was because of his wealth of experience accumulated over the previous years.
Perhaps it was due to his unyielding spirit.
Or perhaps, it was because of his courage, cautiousness, and extremely powerful combat prowess.
Meng Guan thrived after joining the Immortal City Law Enforcement Team.
Moreover, since then.
Meng Guan became well-known for his skillful use of the long sword, fighting fearlessly against evil cultivators; his savage and venomous mastery of the Soul-Broken Sword made countless evil cultivators tremble with fear.
The name of Master Duan Hun became louder and louder within Green Wall Immortal City..
