Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 133 - 106 How is this possible!

Chapter 133 -106 How is this possible!

Regarding the sudden rat plague that erupted in the city,

Korea treated it as nothing more than entertainment news, quickly covering it up.

Online, it caused a bit of a buzz, but that didn’t last long.

Ironic as it was that rats were the focal point of the news, it was the rats in Gaul, larger than cats, which took to the streets and garnered far more attention.

Many were more interested in who would emerge as the victor in Gaul’s latest war with the rats.

Yet, beneath the surface,

those with power and money always managed to access more information and details.

The Phosphor Church held a ceremony where inexplicable miracles occurred, marking it as the only Holy Lord Church spared during the rat plague.

This piqued their interest so much that they chose to visit and offer some support, even if they weren’t from that city.

Such support significantly increased the financial strength of the Phosphor Church.

And in Korea, financial strength easily transformed into manpower and resources.

Then, relief points by the Phosphor Church began to appear on various streets.

They even replaced the former White Dragon Church’s shelter in the central district, turning the homeless into adherents of their faith.

Meanwhile, the grand hall where the ceremonies were held was declared a holy site by the Sect Hierarch Li Yongxiu.

All followers were instructed to visit at least once a week for prayer, to contribute their strength to the great cause of the Angel King’s exorcism.

In reality, however, the followers didn’t need the Sect Hierarch’s instructions;

they wished they could pray every day, hoping to receive a blessing.

As the Phosphor Church grew,

rumors of its miracles became ever more exaggerated.

Some even claimed that believers who were blessed had recovered from deadly illnesses that doctors had given up on!

As for the stories of those blind for years suddenly regaining sight, or the crippled walking, such rumors had long since spread throughout the areas influenced by the Church.

In the midst of this growth, the Church also caught the attention of intelligence personnel from major powers.

But of course, these intelligence agents weren’t simply going to report their findings for commendation.

So, they decided to do a bit of digging.

What they found was a video of the Blood Angel performance shot on a cell phone.

Finding no evidence of photo-editing, they went on to investigate the blessed followers.

As expected… they found no credible cases of deadly illness being cured following a blessing.

Thus, the video was chalked up to some sort of special-effect magic.

This loss of interest was in contrast to some experts who, thanks to the rat plague, had secured research funding, becoming indirect beneficiaries of the situation.

With Su Ping’s endorsement,

the Phosphor Church officially entered a period of rapid development.

Su Ping, a bit relieved, returned to the Immortal Cultivation World.

During this time, Golden Sparrow City remained on high alert.

Upon learning of Su Ping’s return to Frost Moon Villa, the City Lord and Ji Hu took the initiative to visit Su Ping at the villa.

Su Ping also learned that the vicinity of Golden Sparrow City had grown increasingly restless in the past few days.

It wasn’t that the Artifact Heart Sect was up to its old tricks again.

Having taken control of Cloud Mountain Workshop, they turned their attention to business, with transactions involving even Immortal Cultivation Families within the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect’s sphere of influence.

It was more about the apparent decline of the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect,

which emboldened some outsiders, Cultivators.

They didn’t dare target a major workshop like the Golden Cloud Mountain Workshop.

Instead, they set their sights on places like Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop, which had a First Tier, Low Grade Spirit Vein.

Such places were barely of interest to the slightly larger sects,

but they were still desirable to these Outer Sect Cultivators and Loose Cultivators.

After all, once conquered, there would still be some loot to be had, right?

So, two days before, a band of outsider Cultivators, with dozens of Loose Cultivators and hundreds of elite horse bandits, along with several thousands of riffraff and scoundrels forming a commoner army, surrounded Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

They even sent emissaries to the vicinity of Golden Sparrow City to demand provisions.

The City Lord Mansion in Golden Sparrow City didn’t dare provoke the outsiders and, besides reporting it, also provided some provisions to send the riffraff emissaries away.

“I am aware of this matter,”

Su Ping nodded slightly, neither endorsing nor disapproving of the City Lord Mansion’s approach.

With their modest strength, the City Lord Mansion struggled even against Loose Cultivators, let alone the outsider Cultivators daring enough to besiege workshops.

In this increasingly unstable environment, holding a Spirit Vein meant inviting more trouble.

But as for himself, he was better off, situated in a Mortal World city where Spiritual Energy was sparse.

Even slightly stronger forces had no interest in troubling him.

Su Ping even suspected that outsider Loose Cultivators and Martial Artists might know of him,

but those legitimate outsider Cultivators had probably no idea that an Inspector had appeared in Golden Sparrow City in the past year!

“However, Nine Leaf Mountain is too close to Golden Sparrow City,”

Su Ping muttered to himself after sending the City Lord and others away. He sat cross-legged in his bedroom and connected with his rat swarm.

Immediately, through the memory fragments of the swarm, Su Ping saw the great battle that had taken place at Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

From these fragments, he was surprised to find that the Inner Sect female Cultivator he had once met through the Copper Mirror was also in the workshop.

It was due to her presence

that Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop had held out until now, and even gained the support of the big households at the base of the mountain, securing a certain advantage by relying on strengthened Formations.

However, more reinforcements for the outsider Cultivators were arriving by the day.
