My Immortal Cultivation Game Life

Chapter 68 The Tribulations of Mortals



Having passed through the city gates, Lu Yi discovered that the scenery within was different from that outside the walls.

Outside the city walls was quite barren, but inside unexpectedly bustled with activity.

The sound of street vendors hawking their goods was incessant, with streets lined by refined shops selling fabrics, rouge and powder, pawnshops, jewelry stores, and so on.

There was no shortage of pedestrians on the streets, each of them making a change of expression and stepping aside upon seeing the strange Unihorn Spirit Horse being ridden.

This horse was clearly no ordinary horse. Could the rider be an ordinary person then?

Bai Yulong, riding the Unihorn Spirit Horse, was all smiles, somewhat exhilarated as he spoke, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the cities of mortals are indeed different from our sect, so much more prosperous."

Even Jiang Fan nodded slightly without objection. The White Cloud Sect might be extremely beautiful, but since it was filled with cultivators, it was inevitably serene.

At this moment, Bai Yulong's handsome visage revealed an odd smile as he said, "By the way, shall we go enjoy ourselves at the pleasure quarters later? I tell you, the girls there speak pleasantly, and they're incredibly considerate, entirely different from the sisters in our sect!"

Jiang Fan was startled, a peculiar tint appearing on his ordinary face as he glanced at Bai Yulong, "You've actually been to such places?"

Lu Yi also gave Bai Yulong an odd look, "Senior Brother Bai Yulong, who would have thought? With your bushy eyebrows and big eyes, you frequent among the flowers?"

Bai Yulong, feeling the strange gaze from Jiang Fan and Lu Yi, turned red and retorted, "So what? The cultivation technique I practice doesn't require maintaining chastity! Why shouldn't I go?"

With that, he looked at them both disdainfully, "Looks like the two of you could still be virgins, huh?"

Jiang Fan laughed casually, "What's wrong with being a virgin? As cultivators, shouldn't we be free from such worldly desires?"

No, I certainly have many worldly desires...

Lu Yi complained inwardly, yet considering his awakened Golden Finger, shouldn't he at least seek a fairy or a saintess, or some peerless beauties? Like his second senior sister or Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang, for example.

Otherwise, wouldn't that disgrace the transmigrators who came before him?

With a serious look, Lu Yi said, "I think Senior Brother Jiang Fan is right."

Jiang Fan chuckled, "See, even Junior Brother Lu agrees."

Bai Yulong twitched the corner of his mouth, flicking his folding fan, "Hmph! You two really don't know what true worldly pleasures are!"

Jiang Fan, noncommittal, curled his lip, while Lu Yi was actually a bit curious.

So what are true worldly pleasures?

He was almost tempted to ask Senior Brother Bai Yulong, but then he thought of his grand ambitions and shook his head.

No, how could he be so ambitionless!

Chatting like this, they followed the main road and soon arrived at the Royal Palace.

The palace guards constricted their pupils when they saw Lu Yi and his companions.

A middle-aged man who looked like an officer hurried over, saying respectfully, "Are the three immortals from the White Cloud Sect?"

Lu Yi nodded and smiled, "Mhm, we were tasked by our sect to come to the aid of the monarch of Mohe Country."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly said respectfully, "His Majesty instructed that if the immortals from White Cloud Sect arrive, they should be taken directly to see him! Please follow me, immortals!"

Lu Yi and his companions rode their spiritual horses into the Royal Palace, following the middle-aged man until they reached the outside of a great hall.

Several people were standing at the entrance of the hall, led by a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe, with a slightly pale-faced, gray-haired elder and a few others beside him.

Lu Yi's gaze swept over, recognizing that the middle-aged man was the Monarch of Mohe Country.

The elderly man with gray hair also had reached the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, yet his breath seemed somewhat weak, as if he had been injured.

He must be the State Preceptor of Mohe Country.

The others, two of them had a cultivation base, were also in the Qi Cultivation Realm but not of a very high level; several younger ones looked like they might be princes or something of the sort.

Upon seeing Lu Yi and his companions, the Mohe Country Lord hurriedly came forward with his people, cupping his hands and saying, "Mo Ling greets the three Immortal Masters from White Cloud Sect."

The elderly man with gray hair also cupped his hands and said, "Li Qing greets the three senior brothers."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The others also spoke up in turn: "Greetings to the three Immortal Masters!" Explore more stories at empire

Lu Yi and his companions dismounted, and Lu Yi said with a smile, "Your Majesty is too kind. We have been entrusted by our sect to come and deal with the devil cultivators for you."

Bai Yulong looked somewhat surprised at the elderly man, Li Qing, and asked, "You called us senior brothers?"

Li Qing's face showed a hint of nostalgia as he spoke. "Back in my youth, I was an Outer Sect Disciple of the sect, but as I was unable to enter the Inner Sect, I left and after several decades, joined Mohe Country, becoming its State Preceptor. The three senior brothers are all Inner Sect Disciples, so naturally Li Qing is your junior."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and his companions all realized the situation.

Outer Sect Disciples of White Cloud Sect have a certain time limit; if they cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within this period, they cannot continue to cultivate at the Outer Sect.

These disciples can become secular representatives for White Cloud Sect, dealing with some worldly matters for the sect, or they can become servant disciples within the Inner Sect and continue their cultivation.

Yet others leave the White Cloud Sect to travel abroad.

Disciples like Li Qing are not in the minority within White Cloud Sect.

After hearing Li Qing's introduction, Lu Yi and his companions also showed a smile.

"So, it's Junior Brother Li Qing." Since it was a fellow disciple, they naturally felt even closer.

Seeing the amiable expressions on the faces of Lu Yi and the others, the Mohe Country Lord also sighed in relief, then smiled and said, "The three Immortal Masters must have had a long journey. Why not rest for a few days first? If you need anything, just ask me."

Hearing this, Bai Yulong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Well, that's definitely not a problem."

Jiang Fan, standing to the side, glanced at Bai Yulong and said, "Don't listen to him, we are here to carry out a task, let's talk about the situation first."

Bai Yulong stiffened and looked at Jiang Fan somewhat resentfully, then turned to Lu Yi, hopeful that he would agree with the Monarch's suggestion.

Lu Yi said with a laugh, "Senior Brother Jiang Fan is right, let's discuss the task at hand first."

Seeing that even Lu Yi said so, Bai Yulong looked disappointed and said, "Alright then."

At these words, the Mohe Country Lord didn't say more, simply suggesting, "In that case, let's talk inside the hall. Let the State Preceptor and the three Immortal Masters explain the situation in detail."

Lu Yi nodded, and the three of them entered the Royal Palace of the Mohe Country Lord.

Once seated, Li Qing looked towards Lu Yi and said, "This is the situation: Four months ago, disappearances began to occur often within the Capital. At first, there were few cases, but later the criminal became increasingly brazen, and the number of missing persons rose. A month ago, by tracing some clues, we located that devil cultivator, and I fought a great battle with them. Both of us were injured, and although it's embarrassing to admit, due to my advanced age, I've yet to fully recover from my injuries. Meanwhile, that devil cultivator has begun their crimes again, and since I am the only one at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, we had no choice but to ask White Cloud Sect for help."

Lu Yi and his companions exchanged looks upon hearing this, all reflecting anger on their faces.

Bai Yulong slapped his folding fan and said, "To abduct people for cultivation, they must need flesh and blood for their Evil Skill. Indeed, devil cultivators deserve death."

Jiang Fan's brows were also deeply furrowed as he looked at Mo Ling, "It started four months ago... There must have been no small number of deaths, right?"

Mo Ling gave a bitter smile and said, "This year's drought left many refugees in the Royal Capital. It's difficult to account for these displaced beggars; even if they disappear, it's hard to notice. It wasn't until that thief grew more audacious, extending their claws towards the civilians, that we found clues and traced the leads."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi thought of the refugees at the gate, and his heart lamented—the refugees thought they were safe upon entering the city, but who could have imagined there were people-hungry devil cultivators within?

Being a mortal is truly difficult.

At that moment, Lu Yi wondered if he could trigger a task reward by providing disaster relief?
