Chapter 251: Chapter 189: Changqing Mountain Lord, Returning to Qinghe
Li Chang’an had thought this matter would take some time, but he never expected it to be settled so quickly.
According to Su Yuyan’s explanation.
The place where the Spirit Vein was located was called “Cui Ping Mountain,” and it had a total of four main peaks.
Each of the main peaks benefited from the Tier Two Spirit Vein.
Three of the main peaks were already occupied.
The vacant main peak happened to be the one with the densest Spiritual Power. At its very core, the concentration of Spiritual Power was even faintly approaching Tier Three.
However, it was also the most expensive.
“Brother Li, the lease is six thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones every ten years. What do you think?”
“Six thousand Spirit Stones? That’s not expensive at all!”
Li Chang’an agreed on the spot.
If he were just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he really would have had to think twice.
But not only did he possess multiple Skills, he could also use his status as a Tribulation Cultivator to go out and make extra money from time to time. It was more than enough to cover the lease.
…
「The next day.」
The two of them arrived at Cui Ping Mountain, the location of the Tier Two Spirit Vein.
From a distance, four main peaks rose sharply from the ground. The tallest was a full ten thousand meters high, appearing to connect with the sky.
“Brother Li, that main peak is named Pan Shi Mountain. After you move in, you can change its name to whatever you like.”
“The other three, slightly shorter peaks are Cui Zhu Peak, Xuemei Peak, and Chisong Peak. The Spiritual Power concentration on each of them is a bit weaker.”
Su Yuyan explained in detail, her voice clear and sweet.
The occupants of those three main peaks were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and they had all reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Furthermore, each of them possessed Skills of at least Tier Two Middle Grade.
These three were long-term residents and were on rather good terms with one another.
Since Li Chang’an would be living here for the long term, he would inevitably have to interact with them, which was why Su Yuyan’s explanation was so thorough.
“Brother Li, the entirety of Pan Shi Mountain is nourished by the Tier Two Spirit Vein.”
“At the foot of Pan Shi Mountain and in the surrounding area, the Spiritual Power concentration reaches Tier One. You can cultivate Spirit Fields, create a Spirit Lake, or even establish a Marketplace.”
“Nearby, there is also a small Mortal Country with a population of a million. They will be under your rule as well.”
“…”
All in all, this was by no means a bad deal for Li Chang’an.
In addition to the main body of Pan Shi Mountain, he would also own a large surrounding area, which even included a Mortal Realm.
On normal days, if he grew weary of his pursuit of Cultivation Immortality,
he could enter the Mortal Realm, assume various identities, and amuse himself in the world of mortals to relax.
Although the Mortal Realm lacked Spiritual Power, a Cultivator could experience the feeling of being high above it all. With a single thought, they could change the fates of countless people. They could do whatever they wanted!
Legend had it that in Ancient Times, there was a path known as “From Immortal to Mortal,” which required a Cultivator to live in the Mortal Realm for an extended period.
However, the actual purpose of this path is no longer known.
Li Chang’an and Su Yuyan flew closer, arriving at the foot of Pan Shi Mountain.
The Spiritual Power here was already quite dense, nearly reaching the level of Tier Two.
At the entrance to the mountain stood a giant boulder.
On the stone, the three large words “Pan Shi Mountain” were carved in a flamboyant script.
Su Yuyan smiled and asked, “Brother Li, would you like to rename the mountain?”
“Let me think…”
Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.
’The name Pan Shi Mountain is actually quite good.’
’As steadfast as bedrock, unmoving and unafraid of the ravages of time.’
But he faintly felt the name didn’t quite align with his own path. With a grand wave of his hand, he erased the three words “Pan Shi Mountain” and carved a new name in their place.
Changqing Mountain!
Looking at the new name, Li Chang’an felt a sense of enlightenment wash over him.
’I seek no fame or glory in this life, only for my Immortal Dao to be everlasting!’
’He didn’t need to advance quickly, only far and steadily.’
’Step by step.’
’One day, he would glimpse the legendary realm of eternal life!’
「A moment later.」
The two of them arrived atop Changqing Mountain.
Li Chang’an stood on the summit, gazing out at the world below. Everything seemed minuscule, as if the entire world lay at his feet.
“Excellent!”
He was extremely satisfied.
Back in Yellow Crane Immortal City, he had always felt a sense of pressure, simply because the lofty Core Formation Master resided on Yellow Crane Mountain.
But here, he himself was at the very top.
Li Chang’an immediately signed the Spirit Contract with Su Yuyan and paid twenty years of the lease in one go—a whopping twelve thousand Spirit Stones!
He had wanted to lease it for even more years.
But Su Yuyan told him that he couldn’t lease it for too long for the time being.
This was because a great change was imminent in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, and the resulting instability would likely spread to this region.
“Instability?”
Li Chang’an asked, puzzled.
Su Yuyan explained.
Not long ago, Huang He Master had taken his eldest disciple and left Yellow Crane Mountain, heading deep into the Black Dragon Mountain Range. He left his second disciple, Xiahou Hong, to manage the mountain in his absence.
His reason for entering the Black Dragon Mountain Range was just as the rumors claimed.
He intended to hunt a Tier Three Demon King, obtain its Demon Core, and use it to bolster his Spiritual Crane’s advancement.
“Huang He Master’s crane had already advanced to the Tier Three Middle Stage long ago. The next step would be the Tier Three Late Stage, making it comparable to a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Golden Core…”
Su Yuyan continued her explanation.
This information hadn’t yet circulated widely; only the core members of the Three Great Sects and the Seven Great Noble Families were aware of it.
Huang He Master had been plotting his Spiritual Crane’s advancement for a long time.
However, this time, his mission failed!
“Huang He Master’s target was a Tier Three Demon King that had just given birth. After the birth, the Demon King was extremely weak, making it the perfect time for him to strike.”
“But he underestimated the Demon King’s strength. After a fierce battle, not only did he fail to kill it, but he accidentally killed its newborn offspring, sending the Demon King into a blind rage.”
Now, that Tier Three Demon King is furious beyond measure.
Deep within the Black Dragon Mountain Range, it is joining forces with other Demon Kings, gathering massive hordes of Demon Beasts to launch a Beast Tide against the Human Race Cultivators.
