Chapter 500: Inspecting the East Sea

Drip, drip...

In the pitch-black prison where one couldn't see their own fingers, the sound of dripping water seemed particularly harsh.

A man as thin as a skeleton, like a dried corpse, had his shoulder blades pierced, with runes faintly flowing.

If a talisman master saw this, they would definitely be greatly astonished.

That was a Six-Turn Sealing Talisman.

Only a Great Talisman Master could cast it, and it was enough to seal a First-Rank land immortal.

And there were over a hundred such great sealing talismans on this man.

What kind of heavenly law had he violated to be treated like this?

Slight footsteps sounded.

The firelight illuminated the prison cell.

Before long, a handsome and jade-like young Daoist walked in.

Gu Changsheng smiled and spoke: "Daoist friend Si, we meet again."

The one imprisoned in the cell.

Was none other than Si Feng.

At this time, Si Feng no longer had his former handsomeness; on the contrary, his spirit was completely gone, wretched to the extreme, and he was staring at the ground with soundless eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything.

In these decades.

He had been imprisoned in this dark, sunless prison for ten years as if it were one day.

Cultivators have long lifespans and always feel that a snap of the fingers is a year.

But that is because of seclusion and cultivation; if one is imprisoned in a dungeon with their cultivation sealed like Si Feng, the torture is no different from that of an ordinary person; it is endless suffering.

Si Feng's will was already incomparably firm to not have had a mental breakdown by now.

Seeing Si Feng indifferent.

Gu Changsheng was not annoyed, but turned to look at the old Daoist beside him:

"Daoist Wang, this person is the Si Feng that Bai Yujing is looking for."

Hearing the three words Bai Yujing.

Si Feng suddenly raised his head.

Looking at the old Daoist before him, he was first stunned, and then fear appeared in his pupils for the first time.

Only because these three words concerned his greatest secret.

The old Daoist stared at Si Feng for a long time.

Finally, he nodded with satisfaction: "This person stole and ate the immortal fruit of my Bai Yujing, and then descended to the lower realm; it is thanks to Daoist friend Gu that we were able to find him. Not bad, it is indeed the aura of the immortal fruit."

Hearing this.

The smile on Gu Changsheng's face grew more: "Being able to help the Daoist is excellent."

Being able to form a connection with Bai Yujing was a great thing.

Naturally, he was happy to see it happen.

Having this connection, Gu Changsheng then invited: "Anyway, there is still quite some time before you return to the Immortal Cultivation World, why not stay in the city for the time being?"

That Daoist surnamed Wang readily agreed: "This poor Daoist was worrying about where to stay; since Daoist friend Gu does not mind, then I shall respectfully obey."

Gu Changsheng's laughter echoed in the prison cell:

"Daoist Wang is too polite."

Ever since Si Feng was captured and imprisoned by him and the Great True Person Qing Ding of the Qingwei Sect.

As an exchange.

The Qingwei Sect obtained the qualification to open a sect in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and Si Feng was brought back to the capital by him and had been imprisoned in the black prison all along.

Originally, he intended to use soul-searching secret techniques to obtain the method for finding spirit mines.

But he never expected.

To accidentally learn that this Si Feng had descended to the lower realm to seek refuge because he stole and ate Bai Yujing's immortal fruit.

He knew a great deal about the Immortal Cultivation World.

This Bai Yujing was a major Immortal Sect on par with the Shenxuan Palace and the Wan Fadian.

And unlike other Immortal Sects.

Bai Yujing governed five cities and twelve towers, with countless disciples and elders, but the true core members were extremely few.

And this old Daoist before him was a core member of Bai Yujing.

This old Daoist's descent to the lower realm had a purpose very different from other cultivators.

Everyone else came to seek fortune and opportunity, in order to take another step forward.

But he came only for the immortal fruit.

From this, one could see Bai Yujing's emphasis on the immortal fruit.

The old Daoist looked at the terrified Si Feng with a smile.

The gaunt Si Feng instinctively wanted to retreat.

He knew very well that falling into Gu Changsheng's hands was just death, but if he were taken to Bai Yujing, that would be seeking death without being able to die.

The old Daoist hunched his body and approached step by step:

"Daoist friend Si, I have searched for you so bitterly."

"Senior He, Tiger, the time is about right."

In the courtyard.

Li Rui said to He Qiannian and Yuan An.

Not bad.

For this inspection of the East Sea, in addition to the officials from the Mountain-Seeking Division, He Qiannian and Yuan An will also be going along.

Just as the group in the courtyard packed their bags and were about to go out.

The old butler ran over.

"Master, Mr. Gu is here."

Hearing this, Li Rui's eyebrows lifted slightly.

He exchanged a few words with He Qiannian and Yuan An, then came to the front courtyard and saw Gu Changsheng, as well as a team of men and women with extremely extraordinary temperaments he had brought with him.

"Brother Gu."

Li Rui greeted.

Then he looked at the man and woman.

Gu Changsheng said with a smile: "Li Laoge, these two are cultivators from Bai Yujing, Shenxiao City, in the Immortal Cultivation World. They want to go to the East Sea, and I thought Li Laoge is also going, so you happen to be on the same path, so I brought them along."

"Bai Yujing?"

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

He sized them up a few more times without changing his expression.

He now had a fair understanding of the Immortal Cultivation World and knew very well how powerful Bai Yujing was.

Just put it this way.

Bai Yujing governed five cities and twelve towers, and its sphere of influence covered the entire Immortal Cultivation World; it was an existence at the level of a hegemon.

It had never come to this realm before.

He thought people from Bai Yujing wouldn't come, but he didn't expect that among those descending to the lower realm this time, there were actually people from Bai Yujing.

Li Rui's heart tightened slightly.

Worthy of being a major sect of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Although he didn't know the age of the young-looking man and woman before him, their cultivation was indeed quite extraordinary.

They were both cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm.

"Greetings, two Masters."

The two did not have the slightest arrogance; the man smiled and cupped his hands toward Li Rui: "I am Tan Yu of Shenxiao City, and this is my Junior Sister, Yu Ziyi."

Gu Changsheng: "These two came together with Daoist Wang of Bai Yujing. On this trip to the East Sea, Li Laoge must take good care of them."

"Naturally."

Li Rui blinked.

When Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi introduced themselves just now, they said Shenxiao City.

And Gu Changsheng mentioned that Daoist Wang just now, but it was Bai Yujing.

The difference here was too great.

He had long heard from Wu De.

Bai Yujing's core personnel were extremely few, no more than a hundred, and the others were people from the five cities and twelve towers.

The difference between the two was extremely great.

Afterward.

Gu Changsheng chatted with the group for a few more words before drifting away.

The man Tan Yu cupped his hands toward Li Rui: "Then I will trouble Lord Li for the next few days."

Li Rui waved his hand:

"I was going to the East Sea anyway; having the two of you as companions, I am more than happy."

An hour later.

Li Rui brought the group outside the capital.

Here.

Nie Siming was already waiting with five or six people, including Ning Zhongtian and Tan Hu. Seeing Li Rui appear, he first showed a smile, but soon saw Tan Yu and Yu Ziyi following behind Li Rui.

Li Rui introduced the two.

Then he summoned the magic treasure small boat.

Just as he was about to step on it.

He heard Tan Yu speak: "Lord Li, I also happen to have a flight magic treasure of quite good rank; since it is already troubling you to lead the way, we two senior and junior siblings cannot do nothing, why not take our flight magic treasure, how about it?"

Li Rui pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"Let it be as Master Tan says."

He naturally understood that Tan Yu was speaking euphemistically.

It was that he looked down on his flight magic treasure for being too ordinary.

Li Rui didn't think much of it.

Tan Yu saying so had already given him enough face.

And compared to those cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm, his flight magic treasure was indeed quite a bit worse.

Just see Tan Yu wave his hand casually.

An exquisite small jade gourd flashing with green light flew out, expanding in the wind, finally becoming the size of a house.

The storyteller's information was wrong.

Flight magic treasures of the gourd variety were not as they said, riding on the gourd; there was a separate cave-heaven inside the gourd.

There were seats, and even beds and cabinets.

It was exactly the appearance of a house.

It was many times more advanced than Li Rui's small boat.

But what Li Rui was interested in was not Tan Yu's flight magic treasure, but he glanced at the exquisite cloth bag hanging from Tan Yu's cuff without changing his expression.

Anyone who had cultivated immortality knew.

That was precisely a storage magic treasure, capable of putting things many times larger into it.

Mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru.

The previous cultivators from the Immortal Cultivation World all used methods like soul-returning to descend to the lower realm, and things from the Immortal Cultivation World could not be brought to this realm, but cultivators like Tan Yu had descended with their true bodies, and they carried quite a few good treasures on them.

Stepping onto the gourd flight magic treasure.

The next instant.

It soared into the sky.
