Chapter 314: Future

Hearing this suddenly appearing voice.

Bai Shuqing was instantly frightened into panic.

He flipped his palm, hurriedly put away the Seven Stars Compass in his hand, and looked around.

In Bai Shuqing's panicked gaze.

Ye Qingxuan's figure slowly appeared not far from Bai Shuqing, smiling as he looked at Bai Shuqing.

He had arrived in Bai Shuqing's cave dwelling shortly after Bai Shuqing activated the Seven Emotions Compass.

At that time, Bai Shuqing was immersed in the improvement of his cultivation base.

Ye Qingxuan did not rashly disturb Bai Shuqing's breakthrough.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan's figure.

Bai Shuqing realized his secret might already be exposed, facing the constant risk of being killed and having his treasure stolen by the person before him.

Hearing that Ye Qingxuan was the City Lord of Dongxuan City, Bai Shuqing's mind raced; he hurriedly knelt and prostrated himself on the ground, shouting loudly:

The panic in Bai Shuqing's heart did not dissipate; he knew too well the attraction a low-grade spiritual treasure held for cultivators.

Therefore, Bai Shuqing, with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, had not previously seen Ye Qingxuan's true appearance.

"You... you... who are you?"

Although Ye Qingxuan had once manifested his form to fight enemies before the cultivators of Dongxuan City.

After learning that Ye Qingxuan was the City Lord of Dongxuan City.

Bai Shuqing forcibly restrained his desire to attack, trying to suppress his panic.

Yet he still subconsciously swallowed, stammering:

But with Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base.

Even if this low-grade spiritual treasure could not be used by outsiders.

Seeing Bai Shuqing's panicked state, Ye Qingxuan chuckled helplessly and said:

"You need not be nervous. This Seat is the City Lord of Dongxuan City."

Hoping Ye Qingxuan would not commit the act of killing to seize treasure.

His heart sank after failing to detect Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base.

If Ye Qingxuan did not wish it, ordinary cultivators could not see through his true appearance.

But for some cultivators lacking experience.

He then chuckled lightly and said:

Looking at Bai Shuqing's prostrate figure, Ye Qingxuan could sense his panic.

"Your subordinate Bai Shuqing pays respects to City Lord."

Otherwise, his Bai family would not have...

Bai Shuqing knelt and prostrated himself merely to show he had joined Dongxuan City.

Wanting to speak and ask.

Without trying it himself, no matter how much others explained, it would be useless.

"Hehehe, rise! In my Dongxuan City, you need not be so panicked."

"A mere low-grade spiritual treasure is not even in this City Lord's eyes."

"Cultivate well. I hope that in the ranks of the powerful of Dongxuan City in the future, there will be a place for you."

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan's figure vanished.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Bai Shuqing instantly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

This way, in the future, when he used the Seven Emotions Compass in Dongxuan City to improve his cultivation base.

He would no longer need to be so secretive and fearful.

When Bai Shuqing raised his head, he saw Ye Qingxuan's figure had already vanished.

He did not rise immediately; instead, with a determined expression, he shouted loudly:

"Please rest assured, City Lord. Shuqing will certainly not disappoint you."

Only then did Bai Shuqing stand up.

He took out the Seven Emotions Compass again, holding it in his hand and stroking it slowly. A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes as he said softly:

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, rest assured! I will definitely avenge you."

Mount Wanling.

Having returned to the peak of Mount Wanling, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, puzzled:

"Bloodline spiritual treasure, the Bai family? I have never heard of them in Xingluozhou. Could this Bai Shuqing be from outside Xingluozhou?"

If the Bai family were a cultivation family of Xingluozhou.

Possessing such a hereditary treasure, the Bai family should not be unknown in Xingluozhou.

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Qingxuan stopped thinking about these matters.

The affairs of the Bai family were temporarily none of his concern.

As long as this Bai Shuqing could serve him, that would be enough.

"With that bloodline spiritual treasure, Bai Shuqing's future breakthrough to the Void Penetration realm should not be a major problem, right?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly.

His Dongxuan City was lacking powerful figures above the Soul Transformation realm.

For cultivators below the Void Penetration realm, if he was willing to pay a great price, there was still a chance to cultivate them.

But for powerful figures above the Soul Transformation realm.

If one does not possess extraordinary innate talent or an earth-shattering opportunity,

the current Ye Qingxuan could never have been cultivated.

With Bai Shuqing here now,

at least one Void Penetration realm powerhouse will emerge from his ranks in the future.

Oh, right, there is also that brat Luo Tian.

With Luo Tian included, should two Void Penetration realm powerhouses not emerge from his ranks in the future?

Ye Qingxuan stroked his chin, shaking his head slightly with a hint of insatiability and said:

"Only two? Is that not a bit few?"

"Never mind, let us discuss it later! Having something is better than having nothing."

"The core members and outer members have been distinguished. Now, it is time to upgrade the formation linked to the Dongxuan Token."

Saying this, Ye Qingxuan took a large pile of formation materials and entered a brief seclusion.

Just as Ye Qingxuan entered seclusion,

atop the tower of the Spirit Dew shop in the Dongxuan Market,

Su Jianfeng, looking at Li Changsheng who still wore white robes and exuded elegance, asked in confusion:

"Brother Li, you have settled in Dongxuan City for a long time. Why are you unwilling to formally join Dongxuan City?"

Two hundred years had passed.

Using the Immortal Vase of Longevity, Li Changsheng had secretly cultivated a vast amount of heavenly treasures and earthly herbs.

Now, his cultivation base had risen from the late stage of the Golden Core realm to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Su Jianfeng had met Li Changsheng by chance when he happened to pass by the Spirit Dew shop.

Su Jianfeng had now formally joined Dongxuan City.

Naturally, he wished to persuade the Daoist companion beside him to join Dongxuan City with him.

Hearing Su Jianfeng's words,

Li Changsheng smiled lightly and said:

"Brother Su, I am accustomed to being a carefree hermit and do not like to be bound by rules and regulations."

Hearing this, Su Jianfeng naturally did not believe him and retorted:

"Though the world is vast, where can one truly obtain great freedom?"

"Brother Li settles in this Dongxuan City, yet you are still bound by the Dongxuan Laws, are you not?"

"If so, why not simply join Dongxuan City directly?"

"Brother Su, I hope you will consider this carefully."

After saying these words, Su Jianfeng did not persuade him further.

Everyone has their own choices.

Regarding Li Changsheng's choice, all he could do was offer advice; he could not interfere too much.

After taking his leave, Su Jianfeng turned and departed immediately.

After Su Jianfeng left,

Li Changsheng walked to the tower window and looked at the vast, expanded Dongxuan City.

A trace of pride appeared in his eyes as he sighed slightly:

"Dongxuan City is fine, but it can ultimately only serve as my place of hiding."

"How can my future be contained by a mere Soul Transformation level Dongxuan City?"

With the Immortal Vase of Longevity,

his future should lie in the Inner Five Regions of the Earthly Xuan Realm, where powerhouses are born in abundance.

It should not be limited to Dongxuan City, or even the Dongji Region.

After his cultivation base rose to the Nascent Soul realm,

Li Changsheng's control over the Immortal Vase of Longevity improved further.

From the Immortal Vase of Longevity, he obtained more information.
