With Cultivation Simulator in a Chaotic World-Chapter 176 - 174: Chang’e Flying to the Moon?

The scale of Leishi City is not as grand as Mingwu City.

However, the city is guarded by powerful figures at the Red Body Level, superior to Evergreen City.

Jiang Ming accompanied the people from Xiaoxi Village to Leishi City.

As they passed through the city gates, their identities were checked, and the Bronze Vermilion Bird on the gate showed no reaction.

Jiang Ming looked towards the depths of Leishi City, where a powerful aura resided in the City Lord’s Mansion, but it had little to do with him.

"Brother Zhang, let me accompany you to the West Market to sell the goods."

Jiang Ming nodded. A clever young man walked beside him as they entered the city.

"It’s about... right here..." After walking for a long time in the bustling market, Jiang Ming suddenly stopped, looking at a bookstore in front of him.

The bookstore was large and exquisite, with a faint scent of sandalwood wafting from the attic on the second floor. It didn’t seem like a bookstore, more like a teahouse.

"Little Li, you go handle the business first, I have something to attend to." Jiang Ming stuffed the furs he was holding into Little Li’s arms, and by the time Little Li realized, Jiang Ming had vanished without a trace.

"Brother Zhang... Brother Zhang... I don’t know where to sell the goods..." Little Li stood alone in front of the bookstore, his gaze somewhat bewildered.

The interior of the bookstore was filled with rows of bookshelves.

Jiang Ming’s figure disappeared after walking past a row of bookshelves.

On the second floor.

"How are things going on at Guiyue Valley?"

A curvaceous woman dressed skimpily was lazily half-reclining in her seat.

Her sheer, translucent gown teased her body, and a small snake coiled around her smooth, pale calf, exposed beneath her skirt.

Standing before the woman were two burly men in black clothing, tall and imposing, yet they were half-kneeling in front of her.

"We have... we have not found any intelligence, and there are no evil spirits in Laurel Valley either!"

"The Ren Family of Nanyun City assured me they’ve lost two daughters in Guiyue Valley, and Qianshao City’s Quyan Pavilion also lost two female disciples there... Keep investigating!"

"The organization doesn’t equip you to stand idle."

"Yes!"

Sweat began to bead on the two men’s foreheads.

They immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

The door opened.

A refreshing breeze blew into the room from the doorway.

A rugged middle-aged man in coarse clothes stood at the door with an honest smile.

The two men acted as if they hadn’t seen him, walking past him and even instinctively stepping aside.

The woman’s body suddenly tensed. Just as she intended to draw something from her body, she found she couldn’t move.

The robust man steadily approached her side step by step.

The Fire of the Heart Lamp within the woman’s heart burned fiercely, the Primordial Power churned within her meridians and dantian, but she still couldn’t regain control of her body.

"You... you..." The woman mustered all her strength, but could only utter a word from her throat.

What exactly are you?

"Sorry to disturb you, miss, I’m just here to find something." The honest man scratched his head and smiled.

"Find what?" The woman instinctively uttered these three words.

"A detailed map of Great Lii Southern Border, marking hazardous lands and cities along the way, as well as details of borders, powers, and precautions."

"Huh?" Who would intentionally inquire about the borders!

Ordinary cultivators would prefer to head to the Capital Region, the border is not a place for people to stay.

"Moon Princess, nice name. I’ve long heard Bright Moon Tower’s intel is quite impressive, this minor matter shouldn’t trouble you too much." Jiang Ming walked up to Moon Princess and lightly picked up a token.

"Swipe." A small snake emerged from Moon Princess’s chest and flew towards Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming didn’t even move, as the snake froze mid-air before falling to the ground.

"Possible."

"Wise, let’s go."

Moon Princess finally found her body could move, she tenderly picked up the small snake, feeling distressed.

Glancing at Jiang Ming from the corner of her eye, her pupils contracted.

The honest middle-aged man standing beside her had turned into a burly figure in black, strikingly familiar, it was the reliable subordinate who had just departed.

"Yes... yes..."

Jiang Ming looked at the scroll in his hand, upon opening it was a detailed map of the south of Leishi City, clearly marking out powers and hazardous areas.

Even the further southern sinister spirits were well documented.

The farther from the Divine Capital, the weaker the Great Lii’s control over the areas.

Approaching the borders, sinister spirits linger there.

Sinister spirits refer to transcendent wicked beings above Mortal Transcendence Realm.

They correspond to the Red Body Realm, capable of overtaking small cities and devouring their inhabitants.

Thus, the further south, the fewer small cities like Evergreen City remain.

"Sinister spirits... not bad..."

Jiang Ming also opened another booklet, detailing the border investigations.

It provided detailed introductions, including major events in the last fifty years, intel unattainable to most forces.

"Very well, you are a clever one."

Jiang Ming smiled, preparing to leave.

"Please wait, Senior!" A glimmer flashed in Moon Princess’s eyes, biting her lip, she called out to Jiang Ming.

"What is it?"

"There’s irregularity at the southern Guiyue Valley, perhaps the once-in-a-century Chang’e Flying to the Moon is commencing..."

"Chang’e Flying to the Moon?" Jiang Ming paused, astonished to hear such a familiar name in this world.

Seeing Jiang Ming’s expression, Moon Princess quickly continued, "Chang’e Flying to the Moon signals great opportunity, Senior, if you’re not in haste to the southern borders, why not join in, Bright Moon Tower is willing to provide intelligence with full effort!"

Moon Princess swiftly explained the situation in a rapid pace.

"Interesting..." Jiang Ming chuckled.

It was naturally intriguing to hear "Chang’e" mentioned here.

Moon Princess assumed Jiang Ming was interested in the matter, about to say more, only to be abruptly interrupted by him.

"I’m sorry, not interested."

Jiang Ming shook his head.

Though curious, he’d rather avoid any dealings with Bright Moon Tower.

"Senior..."

Moon Princess attempted to say more, but as her vision blurred, the senior had disappeared.

The expression on Moon Princess’s face gradually darkened...

............

"Chang’e Flying to the Moon?"

"One day, I too will rely on my own power to see what’s on the moon of this world."

Jiang Ming smiled.

"Southern Border... Southern Border..."

Jiang Ming’s figure, after rounding a corner, transformed into a frail scholar.

The scholar’s face bore an expression of youthful naivety.
