Surprise! After cultivating immortality, the divine beast came to the door with space

Chapter 166 Tianyan Continent

Seeing Lin Xia alone in the corner, the only female cultivator among the group came over to chat with her. "Fellow Daoist Lin, my name is Shangguan Yanzhi, and I'm a disciple of the Wuji Sect."

"Hello, Taoist Shangguan!" Lin Xia responded with a smile and gave up the seat next to him.

"Friend Lin, is this your first time in Qianmiao Forest?" Shangguan Yanzhi continued.

Lin Xia nodded, "Not bad."

Shangguan Yanzhi understood, "No wonder I saw that fellow Daoist was so unfamiliar with this Qianmiao Forest."

Shangguan Yanzhi was very talkative, and Lin Xia took the initiative to guide her, and soon the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation.

Soon, Lin Xia learned from Shangguan Yanzhi that the continent she was currently on was called Tianyan Continent.

The Sky Island is located in the southernmost part of the Tianyan Continent. To reach the Qianmiao Forest on the Sky Island, one must cross the Huanming Sea.

Qianmiao Forest is rich in cultivation resources and not very dangerous, so cultivators often come here to train.

However, the Fantasy Sea, which is the only way to reach Qianmiao Forest, is an extremely dangerous place.

That sea is often filled with a violent energy, which is extremely detrimental to the cultivation of monks and may even restrict the circulation of their spiritual power.

The monsters in the sea are extremely powerful. As long as they catch the breath of a cultivator, a big battle is inevitable.

Therefore, if you want to cross the Fantasy Sea, you must take a flying boat specially made by some large trading companies.

Those flying boats have been specially refined and have added multiple layers of defense, which can effectively isolate the violent energy on the Fantasy Sea and at the same time block the breath of monks.

Therefore, even though they had been training in Qianmiao Forest for several months, they had to wait patiently for the company's flying boat to pick them up.

"So, Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll have to trouble you to wait a few more days and leave Qianmiao Forest with us."

Lin Xia nodded to show that she understood, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shangguan."

At the same time, Lin Xia was also glad in his heart that he did not act rashly, but took the initiative to get to know the cultivators on the Tianyan Continent.

Otherwise, he would not be able to protect himself and would have to fly Xiao Cai to the Fantasy Sea. With Uncle Rat and the Qinglin Space around, although he could save his life, he would still be in big trouble.

Then Lin Xia thought of the unresponsive jade message slip in her storage ring.

Almost immediately after Lin Xia came out of the pool from which she was teleported, she tried to contact her uncle Su Linghan using the jade message slip, but until now, there has been no response.

Lin Xia was very anxious, not knowing whether her uncle was really teleported to this continent.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia turned his gaze to Shangguan Yanzhi beside him and said nervously, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, have you ever heard of a cultivator named Su Linghan?"

Shangguan Yanzhi thought for a moment and shook her head gently, "The Su family? I've never heard of it."

Lin Xia was a little disappointed, her voice lowered, "Okay."

"So, Brother Lin, you came to Qianmiao Forest to look for someone? Could it be your lover?" There was a hint of gossip in Shangguan Yanzhi's eyes, and even the other people on the side pricked up their ears.

Lin Xia quickly shook her head, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I'm looking for my uncle."

Shangguan Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. "Sorry."

At this time, Ma Zijun, the Jindan cultivator who had greeted Lin Xia earlier and a disciple of Wuji Sect, also joined the conversation. "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you want to find someone, why not post a bounty? Mission Halls everywhere can see this bounty. Who knows, maybe the person you're looking for will see it themselves, saving you from running around the world."

Mission Hall? What kind of place is this? Adhering to the principle of "the more you talk, the more mistakes you make," Lin Xia could only smile awkwardly, fearing that she wouldn't be exposed as a cultivator from this continent.

Lin Xia's smile caused Ma Zijun on the opposite side to misunderstand again. Yes, this female cultivator was a casual cultivator, and was probably short of money, so she came out to look for someone on her own.

Ma Zijun was not the only one who thought this way. For a moment, the cultivators on the opposite side, including Shangguan Yanzhi, looked at Lin Xia with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Xia was already lost in her own thoughts and did not notice the explicit looks from these people.

In the Tianyan Continent, sects are not the primary core of various forces, and each force is mainly based on families.

Cultivators with good aptitude for cultivation will be recruited by major families early on and submit to the family. Some with outstanding aptitude will even become the direct descendants of that family and be given the family surname.

As for the original descendants of that family, if they do not have good aptitude for cultivation, they will become menial workers or even be expelled from the family. Even the direct descendants cannot escape.

Next is the sect.

The sect was founded by some monks who did not want to join a big family. It is relatively fair and more free. Of course, it also takes in many monks who were expelled from their families.

Finally, independent cultivators are still the lowest level existence in the entire immortal cultivation system in Tianyan Continent.

They have no strong family to back them up, nor a powerful sect to shelter them. Lacking resource support and protection, they have a very difficult life.

Mission Hall was jointly founded by various families.

Here are gathered tasks from all over the Tianyan Continent, ranging from simple searches for spiritual herbs and escorting items to dangerous explorations of secret realms and hunting powerful monsters. They are of various types and varying in difficulty.

In the Tianyan Continent, any cultivator can complete a transaction through the Mission Hall, but they need to pay a certain handling fee.

In short, the Mission Hall is a tool for major families to make money.

Relying on their control over the Mission Hall, the major families can not only collect a certain amount of handling fees, but also realize their own interests by issuing specific tasks.

For those monks who are in urgent need of resources, even though they know that the mission hall’s handling fees are high, they still have to take the initiative to come to the door with spirit stones.

Of course, to a certain extent, the Mission Hall also provides many opportunities for the monks, which is why it can continue to exist.

……

Following Shangguan Yanzhi and others, I wandered around Qianmiao Forest. A few days passed quickly and the trading company's flying boat was about to arrive.

Due to its special geographical location, flying boats do not come to Sky Island every day. Therefore, Shangguan Yanzhi and his group did not delay. They took Lin Xia and quickly left Qianmiao Forest and arrived at the flying boat boarding point.

When Lin Xia and the others arrived, many cultivators had already gathered at the flying boat boarding point, but the flying boat that Shangguan Yanzhi and the others had talked about had not arrived yet.

After waiting for most of the day, I saw two huge flying boats appear in the sky not far away.

When the flying boat stopped and they inquired, they learned that a fog had formed in the Illusionary Sea, which had delayed them for a while. Furthermore, because the fog had not yet dissipated, their departure would have to be postponed for a few days.

Shangguan Yanzhi and the others seemed to be accustomed to this situation and did not show any unnecessary expressions, but Lin Xia seemed a little impatient.

There was no other reason. It was because she couldn't contact her uncle Su Linghan, which made Lin Xia very anxious. Lin Xia was afraid that her uncle was not on this continent at all.

As for asking Shangguan Yanzhi about his uncle's whereabouts, it was a desperate attempt. Although he knew there was little hope, he still held on to a one in ten thousand hope.
