Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Nanshan Immortal City

Meanwhile, the three great Sects also jointly issued an announcement.

In the construction of Nanshan Immortal City, those families or forces that contributed would be granted by the three Sects the privilege of early access to the Demon Race Secret Realm.

This announcement set the entire Fang Market abuzz.

As a result…

The various family factions began to stir into action.

Naturally, there was still a small portion of families that, perhaps due to financial constraints or a reluctance to contribute too much, did not participate in the construction of Nanshan Immortal City.

These families’ members would not have the qualifications to enter the Demon Race Secret Realm.

They could only wait until Nanshan Immortal City had been completely built and the entrance to the Demon Race Secret Realm was fully open to join the Loose Cultivators in entering.

Under the concerted efforts of the various families, the construction of Nanshan Immortal City progressed very swiftly.

In just eight months,

Nanshan Immortal City was almost completely constructed.

The newly built Nanshan Immortal City was ten times larger than the previous Nanshan Market.

Although many people came to Nanshan Immortal City thereafter, it was not as crowded as before.

Now Nanshan Immortal City was divided into an Inner City and Outer City.

In the Inner City resided the three Sects and those families with exceptional strength.

Lin Jing and his colleagues from Yuebaolou, as Offering Priests, moved from the previous Inner Fang Market area to reside in the Outer City area of Nanshan Immortal City.

Huang Qingling did the same, moving to the Outer City with Lin Jing.

She could have lived in the Inner City, but claiming it was too boring, she decided to move out with Lin Jing.

Outside Nanshan Immortal City, many members of smaller families, as well as Loose Cultivators, lived in encampments.

These people surrounded Immortal City, erecting dwellings around it and effectively encircling Nanshan Immortal City.

The reason for this…

Was because the news of the Demon Race Secret Realm had spread far and wide.

Other families, from farther away, or Loose Cultivators who heard the news, moved to this location.

All of them wanted to enter the Secret Realm to explore.

Perhaps, with some good fortune, they might find some rare treasures and obtain a great deal of resources for cultivation.

In that case, one wouldn’t have to toil daily, searching everywhere for cultivation resources.

Moreover, according to information from the three Sects,

The Demon Race Secret Realm was immensely vast, and the Spiritual Energy inside was even more concentrated than that of an average Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s cave residence.

This made other people even more envious.

The only pity was that the Nanshan Market had not yet been completely constructed, and the Demon Race Secret Realm was not open to ordinary Cultivators.

However…

Huang Qingling had managed to venture into it twice over the past half year.

Lin Jing, on the other hand, due to his low level of Cultivation and the limited number of slots for entering the Secret Realm,

Had not been able to enter even once until now.

Although Lin Jing hadn’t managed to go inside, he hadn’t forgotten that his Blood Red Vermilion Fruit still required the black soil from the Secret Realm to grow.

Therefore…

Lin Jing, on the pretext of studying the cultivation of Spirit Plants, asked Huang Qingling to bring some soil out of the Secret Realm for him.

While Huang Qingling didn’t understand, she still nodded and agreed.

When she came out, she did bring some soil back.

But when Huang Qingling handed the soil over to Lin Jing, he had a bad feeling about it.

Because the soil was not black.

Despite this, he didn’t act on his hunch, but instead took the soil into the System Space to experiment.

After the experiment, Lin Jing found that this kind of soil simply wouldn’t work.

With no choice, Lin Jing had to remind Huang Qingling again to bring back some soil from the area where Spirit Plants grew, the next time she went in.

And now…

Huang Qingling’s second exploration of the Demon Race Secret Realm had come to a prompt end.

That day, Lin Jing was resting and meditating in his new courtyard.

It was at that time when,

“Thud, thud, thud,”

a series of knocks on the door echoed.

Startled by the knocking, Lin Jing opened his eyes.

In this period, he interacted with others as sparingly as he always had,

So it was rare for anyone to disturb him.

It was probably Huang Qingling who had returned.

Thinking this, Lin Jing got up and walked out of the house.

Lin Jing’s new courtyard was about the same size as his previous dwelling, consisting of two connected areas.

He crossed the yard to the door and then reached out to open it.

There at the entrance to the courtyard stood Huang Qingling.
