Chapter 155: Chapter 124 Liyun Immortal Mansion! [Seeking Monthly Pass!]

Continue searching.

Among a pile of ores, a dull, dark gray stone caught Chen Jichuan’s attention.

He formed a sword with his fingers, and sword qi surged in and out.

He immediately shattered the stone into eight pieces, revealing a faint golden talisman within.

He took a look—

[Talisman: Small Movement Talisman]

[Level: First-order Lower Grade]

[Description: Crafted by Liyun Zi, activating this talisman allows sensing the location of ’Liyun Immortal Mansion.’ It enables teleportation to its entrance within a hundred miles and can carry one to two people at a time. Usage frequency: 7/10]

"Such deep concealment!"

Chen Jichuan held the ’Small Movement Talisman’ and couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Liyun Zi.

Liyun Immortal Mansion.

Wind Thunder Dual Fans.

With the ’Small Movement Talisman’ in hand, everything made sense.

The Qian Brothers had discovered a Liyun Immortal Mansion and obtained the Wind Thunder Dual Fans left behind by Liyun Zi.

Most likely, the ’Wind Thunder Scripture’ and ’Wind Thunder Wings’ were also acquired from there.

And their focus on arrays, especially those concerning wind and thunder, along with their collection of wind- and thunder-related magical artifacts and talismans, were certainly targeted for the Liyun Immortal Mansion.

"Liyun Immortal Mansion."

Excitement surged within Chen Jichuan, but he did not rush to go. He thought, "Let me first refine the ’Wind Thunder Dual Fans,’ study the ’Wind Thunder Scripture,’ and complete cultivation of the ’Wind Thunder Wings’ before heading there."

With his resolve firmed.

Chen Jichuan decided to stay in the Qian Brothers’ cave mansion and not venture elsewhere.

Time passed swiftly.

Three years went by.

...

On this day.

Wearing a cyan robe, Chen Jichuan rode a small flat boat, darting forward like an arrow.

In his hand, he held the faint golden talisman, constantly adjusting his direction. When he reached an unnamed section of the sea, the ’Small Movement Talisman’ suddenly trembled.

"Here we are!"

Chen Jichuan’s heart quickened, and he hurriedly stowed the small boat beneath him. A moment later, he saw a flash of faint golden light encompass his entire body. In an instant, his figure disappeared.

...

"This place is—"

After a dizzying whirlwind, Chen Jichuan found himself in an unusual location.

It seemed to be within a deep chasm, flanked by sturdy and immovable cliff faces. In the depths of the chasm, fierce winds howled while countless bolts of thunder ravaged the space.

It resembled an apocalyptic scene, enough to make anyone shrink back in fear.

"Wind and thunder in harmony."

"It must be the Liyun Immortal Mansion."

Chen Jichuan surveyed the surroundings and indeed noticed traces of damaged arrays not far off, evidence of previous meddling by the Qian Brothers.

Though the array had been dismantled, the wind and thunder persisted.

"No wonder they invested in so many wind- and thunder-resistant magical artifacts and talismans."

Chen Jichuan now understood.

With wind and thunder in frenzy, without precautionary measures, even someone at the Innate Extreme level would not last long.

At this moment.

Chen Jichuan summoned the Wind Stabilizing Pearl and Green Cloud Umbrella—the former to subdue the wind and the latter to ward off thunder—and strode forward boldly.

Most of the arrays ahead had been dismantled by the Qian Brothers, clearing the path considerably.

Before long.

Chen Jichuan came upon an ancient and unadorned gateway before him, bearing the inscription ’Liyun Immortal Mansion.’

Behind the gate, it seemed as if countless wondrous sceneries awaited.

But in front of the gate, an intricate and profound array barred the path—far superior to the ’Wind Thunder Formation’ deployed by Qian Jibang, and even more complex and troublesome than the arrays within and around the Qian Brothers’ cave mansion.

Meanwhile, the howling wind and roaring thunder intensified, growing fiercer by the moment.

The Wind Stabilizing Pearl trembled under the wind, and the Green Cloud Umbrella shook under the thunder.

Clearly, they wouldn’t hold much longer.

It was impossible to slowly study the array and break through at leisure.

"So this is the array that stopped the Qian Brothers."

Seeing this, Chen Jichuan understood why the Qian Brothers regarded his ’Color-splitting Treasure Mirror’ with such importance.

Yet their greed knew no bounds, and resorting to robbery and plunder had become second nature to them, refusing to trade fairly with Chen Jichuan and instead resorting to force.

In the end, they met a bleak and tragic fate.

Pitiful and lamentable.

"A formidable array."

"It may have stopped the Qian Brothers, but it won’t stop me."

Amid the raging wind and thunder, Chen Jichuan didn’t linger long.

He boldly entered the array and activated the Insight Skill, scanning every direction for a way through. Soon, he spotted a talisman hidden within the array.

Chen Jichuan approached to inspect it—

[Magical Treasure: Liyun Order]

[Level: Lower Grade]

[Description: Crafted by Liyun Zi, it allows control over the entry and exit gates of the ’Liyun Immortal Mansion,’ can resist wind and thunder, and permits unrestricted movement within the mansion.]

"Liyun Order."

Chen Jichuan reached out and took it.

Rumbling—

As soon as he grasped the ’Liyun Order,’ the immortal mansion’s gateway burst into radiant light, opening with a thunderous void.

Inside the gate.

Valleys ascended, mountains descended, winding paths turned into smooth roads, holy light illuminated the space, and dazzling splendor filled the realm.

It was truly an Immortal Blessed Land.

Stepping inside, Chen Jichuan felt refreshed, his body light and vibrant.

"Spirit Land?!"

Chen Jichuan immediately realized it and couldn’t contain his joy.

The world abounds in countless terrains.

Some places are barren of spiritual energy, while others brim with it.

Cultivators chase after spiritual energy for survival, often dwelling in deep mountains and remote forests. Firstly, to live in seclusion and focus on cultivation; secondly, because spirit-rich areas are commonly found in mountainous regions, which are beneficial for their practices.

Just like the Mysterious Nether Sea.

Cultivators wouldn’t voluntarily endure ocean winds or battle waves every day. However, the inland spiritual energy is too scarce compared to the seas, leaving them no choice but to endure.

Even among spirit-rich places, there are varying levels of quality.

The superior ones are called ’Spirit Lands.’

Examples include Jade Spring Mountain.

Or Iron Bull Mountain where Shii Tongwei resides.

Both are occupied by Qi Refining Immortal Masters and are recognized as Spirit Lands.

But the spiritual energy of ’Liyun Immortal Mansion’ far surpasses the summit of Jade Spring Mountain, and even someone like Shii Tongwei would covet it immensely.

"What a treasure!"

Chen Jichuan wandered around and found several medicine gardens within the mansion. Most of the spiritual medicines were either withered or dead from old age, but a few millennium-old plants still thrived.

Moreover.

There were two distinctive trees wrapped in wind and thunder energies: a Wind Thunder Pukui Tree and a Wind Thunder Immortal Almond Tree.

"Wind Thunder Pukui Tree."

"Wind Thunder Immortal Almond Tree."

Chen Jichuan’s smile grew even brighter: "From now on, I shall cultivate here!"

...

The spiritual energy in Liyun Immortal Mansion was abundant, its location hidden, and the external wind and thunder served as a natural barrier.

Inside.

One could cultivate peacefully and sleep soundly.

It was indeed a first-class Immortal Blessed Land.

From this day onward, Chen Jichuan settled within Liyun Immortal Mansion.

Whether practicing swordsmanship.

Or refining pills.

Or studying cultivation techniques and magical skills.

Whenever perplexed, he took excursions and explored the world. Upon gaining new insights or resources, he returned to the mansion to continue his practices.

Time passed year by year.

Chen Jichuan’s experiences and combat strength steadily improved.

In terms of skills, he focused primarily on alchemy.

Before discovering Liyun Immortal Mansion, Chen Jichuan had already immersed himself in alchemy for many years.

Three years on White Jade Island.

Over thirty years at Three Realms Pass.

Back in the Mysterious Nether Sea for another twenty-plus years.

Altogether, excluding hiatuses, Chen Jichuan had devoted over thirty years to refining pills.

His wealth was considerable.

From initially being limited to producing the simplest pills like ’Fetal Breath Pills’ and ’Qi Eater Powder,’ to creating Intermediate Pills such as ’Qi Union Pill’ and ’Qingyu Pill,’ and later to higher-grade pills like ’Innate Pill’ and ’Sunrise Pill.’

Chen Jichuan leveraged his immense financial resources, spending endlessly to continuously elevate his proficiency in alchemy.

Before Liyun Immortal Mansion.

He had already mastered the refinement of lower- and intermediate-grade pills, possessing expertise in eight lower-grade pills and six intermediate-grade ones.

However, his success rate in crafting higher-grade pills remained low, requiring improvement.

After coming to Liyun Immortal Mansion.

Chen Jichuan maintained a significant focus on pill refinement, gradually perfecting his art until even higher-grade pills could be produced with ease.

Thirty years later.

Alongside ’Innate Pill’ and ’Sunrise Pill,’ Chen Jichuan succeeded in mastering six additional higher-grade pills, such as ’Qi Circulation Powder’ and ’Fire Yang Pill.’

He even elevated the success rate of the top-tier pill ’Nourishing Yuan Pill’ to fifty percent.

Thus earning the title of ’Great Alchemist.’

That same year.

He achieved breakthroughs in swordsmanship, reaching the Divine Realm with techniques like ’Splashed Ink and Striped Cloth Sword Technique’ and ’Seven-stringed Immortal Surprising Sword Technique,’ as well as ’Ailao Mountain Thirty-Six Swords,’ dividing his Sword Qi into thirty-six strands.

That year.

Chen Jichuan reached the age of 111, with a bone age of 68. He was at the extreme levels of Innate, Transforming Strength, and Soul Emergence.

However, he still hadn’t transcended into the Qi Refining Realm.

...

Ninety-three years in Jade Spring World flashed by in an instant.

In reality, only eighty-five days had elapsed.

On this day.

At Lishui Water Mansion.

Chen Jichuan, assuming the identity of ’Chen Lin,’ sat at the head position, with his civil and martial officials seated on his left and right.

On the eastern side were the Prime Minister Gui and seven or eight individuals including Fang Dong and Tan Zhang.

On the western side were Liu Baohua and a group of great spirit monsters, including Shrimp General and Crab General.

The assembly was civil-martial balanced and impressive.

"Four months."

"Finally yielding substantial progress."

Chen Jichuan was satisfied.

In Jade Spring World, advancing in cultivation was arduous.

The same applied in reality.

Yet the development of the Water Mansion and Martial Alliance thrived day by day, reaching remarkable achievements.

Take the Water Mansion for instance.

Having seized control of Lishui Water Mansion for four months.

During this period, Chen Jichuan summoned scholars from the land to handle documentation and administrative tasks, organizing the Water Mansion into excellent order.

Meanwhile, he had Liu Baohua train troops while Shrimp and Crab Generals launched operations to sweep across the Lishui Water System, subjugating or eliminating any spirit monsters of substantial power.

Among them, fourteen spirit monsters proved formidable, with the weakest being at Level 6.

Additionally, two exceptional entities—a Yellow Fish Spirit and a Ribbon Fish Spirit—emerged at Level 7. Chen Jichuan conferred titles upon them as the ’Golden Armor General’ and ’Silver Armor General,’ ranking just below Liu Baohua and Shrimp, Crab Generals.

Consequently.

The high-level combat strength of the Water Mansion surpassed even that of the Martial Alliance. Though still slightly inferior to Biqing Cliff and Iron Leaf Island on land, it was practically unbeatable underwater.

"General Liu."

"How many troops does the Water Mansion currently have?"

Chen Jichuan turned to Liu Baohua with inquiry.

"Reporting to the Lord."

"As of yesterday, the Water Mansion boasts 3,000 shrimp soldiers, 800 crab soldiers, and another 4,200 elite fish soldiers including Yellow Fish and Ribbon Fish. Of these, 300 possess Human Transformation talents, mostly scattered amongst the camps acting as leaders and commanders."

Liu Baohua, responsible for troop training and strategy, was naturally well-versed in the Water Mansion’s military strength.

In summary.

Due to its unmatched underwater dominance, the Lishui Water Mansion’s development was remarkably rapid.

In just four months, it had swept through the entire Lishui Water System, enlisting all noteworthy spirit entities under its banner. Among them, 300 were of Level 4 strength, each capable of Human Transformation—donning armor, wielding weapons, and displaying formidable combat power.

"Eight thousand troops."

Chen Jichuan nodded repeatedly at the report, looking at Liu Baohua with approval.

Liu Baohua originally served as a soldier under the Lishui Gang, gradually rising to become a leader. However, disillusioned by the gang’s activities, he resigned and retreated to the wilderness to live as a humble hunter.

Eventually discovered by Chen Jichuan and brought into the fold of ’White Jade City.’

As it turned out.

Gold shines no matter where it’s found.

Liu Baohua had become a key figure within the Martial Alliance, a strong contender for the position of one of the ’Four Commanders of the Three Mountains Army.’

Then, after joining the Water Mansion.

Despite substantial differences between land and water, Liu Baohua managed to train shrimp and crab soldiers effectively while fostering strong camaraderie with Shrimp and Crab Generals.

He was undeniably talented.

Though his own combat power was somewhat lacking.

Chen Jichuan had long intended to promote him, but he had been waiting for an appropriate justification, avoiding any impression of arbitrary rewards or punishments.

Thus, he held off until today.

Now that the ’Lishui Navy’ had taken initial shape, it was finally time for recognition and advancement.
