Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 266: Different Jade Plates

"There are many different factions among them. Since we have chosen to join, we still need to first understand the general situation of the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

When Luo Shan said this, Ling Wanran had already finished reading the jade letter.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I'll listen to you. You bought this jade letter, and I don't have that many spirit stones." Ling Wanran said, taking out two array plates from the storage bag:

"These are the only two third-grade array plates I have left. Fellow Daoist Luo, please don't refuse. I will buy the one for Yu Jiandu."

Luo Shan looked at the two array plates handed over by Ling Wanran, thought for a moment, and said, "Just give me one."

"That won't work. Wouldn't that mean I'm taking advantage of Fellow Daoist Luo?" Ling Wanran shook her head.

"I bought a lot of spiritual wood here, so engraving a third-grade array plate is not a problem, Fellow Daoist Luo."

Hearing Ling Wanran say this, Luo Shan no longer refused.

In the evening, Lin Nan came back and gave the things he bought from the photo studio to Luo Shan.

The phantom skin is made of the resin of the bone tree and the skin of the phantom fox. Ordinary disguise pills can be easily discovered if encountered by someone with a cultivation level higher than one level. But the phantom skin is different. It can only change one's appearance, and the true appearance cannot be revealed if one is below the level of transformation.

"Senior, here are the things you requested." Lin Nan placed the two jade boxes on the table and said:

"Senior, is there anything you need me to do?"

"That's all." Luo Shan said lightly.

"Then I will withdraw first." Seeing this, Lin Nan left tactfully.

After stepping out of the courtyard, Luo Shan sent a message:

"I will leave Mao'an City tomorrow."

Lin Nan paused. Although he knew that Luo Shan and the others would leave, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Thinking about the matter between himself and the Lin family, Lin Nan knew that the other party was unwilling to get involved.

In order to avoid any unexpected events, Luo Shan and Ling Wanran went to the teleportation hall in Mao'an City early the next morning using their phantom skins that could not change their appearance. After paying a large sum of spirit stones, the two of them arrived in Sancheng.

As soon as I stepped out of the teleportation array, I saw a Yuanying Zhenjun sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed in the teleportation hall.

Luo Shan and Ling Wanran looked at each other and followed the group out the door.

Sancheng is dozens of times larger than Maoan City. As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they saw a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage walking towards them.

"Two seniors, I am a guide to Sancheng. I am very familiar with Sancheng. You only need ten middle-grade spirit stones to hire me."

The person who spoke was a casual cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining. He was wearing very simple robes of the lowest quality.

Ling Wanran took out ten middle-grade spirit stones from her storage bag: "We want to ask you something."

"Thank you, senior. Don't worry, as long as I know, I will tell you everything I know." The casual cultivator didn't expect the two fairies to be so generous. He was immediately delighted and put the spirit stones into the storage bag. He became more respectful to the two.

"Let's talk while we walk." Now they were still outside the teleportation hall, not the right place to talk, Ling Wanran said:

"Take us to find a place to stay first, a quiet place."

"Please follow me, senior." The cultivator at the peak of Qi training walked in front and led the way.

"Is there a detailed map of this Sancheng?" Luo Shan asked.

"Yes... yes, ten mid-grade spirit stones." The Qi-refining cultivator was stunned, then replied quickly.

"Give me one." Luo Shan took out the spirit stone.

After buying a detailed map of Sancheng from the guide, Luo Shan said:

"Do you know how to join the Loose Cultivators Association?"

"You two seniors want to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance?" The Qi Refining cultivator was surprised and replied:

"With the strength of the two seniors, you only need to pass the cultivation test to join the group of independent cultivators."

"Those in the Foundation Establishment Stage can directly join the Loose Cultivator Alliance. By joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance, you can obtain the Loose Cultivator Order."

It's that simple?

Luo Shan was surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not that surprising. After all, there were so many independent cultivators. In order to prevent their resources from being divided up by the big sects, they naturally needed to stick together for warmth. As a result, the Independent Cultivator Alliance was formed.

The existence of the Loose Cultivators Alliance can be said to have protected the interests of most of the loose cultivators.

Scattered they are a sky full of stars, gathered they are a ball of fire. Luo Shan feels that this alliance of scattered cultivators is quite interesting.

The Qi-refining cultivator took the two of them to a relatively remote restaurant and booked two rooms. Luo Shan and Ling Wanran rested for a night and went to the Loose Cultivator Alliance the next day.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance is located in the center of Sancheng, and there are many cultivators coming and going. Luo Shan saw that many people had lined up early in the reception hall. At a glance, they were all cultivators who had just established their foundation.

"I heard that the Loose Cultivator Alliance has changed its system. What's going on?" The cultivator above frowned.

"You do not know?"

"What do you know? I just established my foundation a few days ago. After consolidating my cultivation, I came directly to Sancheng, wanting to join the Sanxiu Alliance." The man had a sad face.

"As soon as I arrived, I heard that the Loose Cultivator Alliance had changed its system."

"The changed system has little to do with us. We are just building our foundation, and the ones we should worry about are the Golden Core Masters."

The man rolled his eyes at the other person and followed.

"After the four sects of Taiyin Sect allocate the quota for the Immortal Realm next year, it will be the turn of the second- and third-rate sects. If our Loose Cultivator Alliance wants to allocate more quotas, we will naturally participate. Only cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can participate in the competition."

"I have been in seclusion for so long that I have forgotten about the Fairyland." The man suddenly realized that the Fairyland was about to open.

The next thing the two people talked about was things related to the fairyland.

Luo Shan and Ling Wanran listened with great interest. It was said that this fairyland was a small secret realm of immortals, with many inherited treasures.

If a cultivator can obtain the opportunity to become an immortal, the great path will be right before his eyes.

Soon, it was their turn. Luo Shan had heard a lot of "rumors" about the fairyland, and he was somewhat interested in the so-called fairyland.

"Three spiritual roots of gold, wood and earth, early stage of foundation building, bone age of sixty-three, passed." The female cultivator who was doing the test recorded the information, took out a jade token from the side, stamped it with a mark and handed it to the man.

"Inject the spirit and soul energy into it."

After that, he took out another jade letter and said, "This is the code of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Keep it well, fellow Daoist. If you violate the above rules, the alliance will hold you accountable."

After receiving the jade invitation, the person in the early stage of foundation building injected the jade token into his soul and left.

Luo San was in front of Ling Wanran. It was her first time to test these things and she found them very novel. She looked at the test plate several times and finally put her hand on it.

Light blue spiritual power was injected into the test plate. The female cultivator who was doing the test looked at the plate, stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Luo San.

This female cultivator actually has the Golden Core cultivation level?

"Early stage of Golden Core, single water spiritual root, bone age... forty-seven, passed." The female cultivator looked at the revealed bone age in disbelief. Forty-seven years old?

She is actually a Jindan cultivator. With such qualifications, why doesn't she join a sect? With such qualifications, except for the Buddhist sect which does not accept female disciples, the other three sects will certainly accept them.

"What, forty-seven, Jindan stage? Is this test disk broken?"

The foundation-building cultivator at the back heard what the female cultivator who was taking the test said and looked at Luo Shan in shock.

After confirming that they really could not see through the other party's cultivation, those people looked at Luo San with shock.

"Fellow Daoist, this is your jade token." The female cultivator took out a red jade token, stamped it with a seal and handed it to Luo Shan.

"Why is my jade token different from the one just now?" Her jade token was red, while the one held by the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was white.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the cultivator just now held an ordinary jade token, which only represents the identity of a free cultivator recognized by the Free Cultivator Alliance. The jade token in your hand allows you to participate in the free cultivator competition in half a year. Of course, you can choose not to participate. You can read the jade letter of the rules later. There will be a detailed explanation on it."
