Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

Chapter 563: 174 Yunxiao Dan Pavilion, Female Cultivator’s Servant _1
 

“Shiju Immortal City…” Su Yu pondered secretly. This immortal city was exceedingly vast, one of the colossal cities within the cultivation world of Daqian. Meanwhile, the Shiju Immortal City as a neutral force was shrouded in mystery, and there were various speculations about its backing entities.

Some suggest that the backing entities of the Shiju Immortal City must be ten beings who have transcended the True Monarchs of the Nascent Soul Realm, otherwise how could it be called Shiju (Ten Monarchs) instead of Sanju or Wuju (Three or Five Monarchs)?

Others claim that the Shiju Immortal City is supported by the Ten Major Immortal Gates, acting as their connective link.

And some even spread rumors that behind the Shiju Immortal City exists an entity that not even the Ten Major Immortal Gates dare to offend.

As for these, Su Yu had limited understanding as well.

Nevertheless, he had gleaned some information from his master, Taoist Tianyu. There were indeed terrifying entities behind the Shiju Immortal City with expansive influence.

Regarding forces like the Shiju Immortal City, it was best not to provoke them unless necessary.

This was what Taoist Tianyu had advised Su Yu.

“I wonder if it’s the Dividing Spirit Realm entity, or the one that even the Ten Major Immortal Gates dare not offend?” Su Yu pondered curiously.

In a giant immortal city like Shiju, how many spirit stones could they earn in a year—or rather, in a day?

10,000 middle-grade spirit stones?

Or 100,000?

Or even more than 100,000?

A daily income of 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones would amount to over three million in a year! This was not a small figure.

If it were 100,000, the annual income would reach a terrifying amount—over thirty million middle-grade spirit stones!

Thinking of such a substantial income in spirit stones could make anyone envious.

However, after some thought, Su Yu believed that the probability of earning over 100,000 was higher. After all, with a high income, the expenses required to maintain a gigantic immortal city like Shiju City would certainly not be small.

After the individual or power behind the city took their share, there wouldn’t be much left.

The black market in the Shiju Immortal City was colossal, resembling an independent secret realm.

It was divided into four markets in the east, south, west, and north. The eastern and southern markets were considered the most prestigious, trading high-grade, high-quality, and high-cost items. The shops in the eastern market mainly traded in pills, talismans, magic artifacts, formations, and other resources, while the southern market was a mixed market, selling a variety of things.

The western and northern markets dealt with regular resources, better suited for the Foundation Establishment and Qi refinement realms.

The shop purchased by Su Yu was located on a peripheral street in the eastern market. After all, prime locations had already been sold, leaving him with few choices.

For the following month, Su Yu was busy with shop matters.

In Shiju City, he sought trade associations that could provide pill materials, and he revamped his shop in the black market.

While browsing the black market, he discovered that some trade associations were even selling servants… Various types of servants, including those from the Human Clan, Demon Clan, and Sea Clan!

Conflicts and disputes among various powers in the Human Clan of cultivators had never ceased, not to mention between the Human Clan and the Demon and Sea Clans. Under such circumstances, being captured and falling into enemy hands was a common occurrence.

This gave rise to the business of buying and selling servants in the black market.

In several eastern-market trade associations, Su Yu saw that servants were available for purchase, ranging from Qi Refinement Realm to Foundation Establish Realm, even to Core Formation Realm, and the salesperson even claimed they had those from the Nascent Soul Realm!

As long as you could afford the price, you could buy them!

Su Yu was astounded. After walking around, he finally spent 21,000 mid-grade spirit stones to buy three beautiful female cultivator servants. One of them was a first-stage core formation alchemist of second-tier high-grade, named Lin Qingxia, dressed in a light green dress with a mature and attractive figure.

The other two women were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with no particular skills. However, they were pretty, well-endowed, and could help him manage the shop and serve customers.

Though he was powerless to rescue all the female human clan cultivator servants in the entire black market, he could do what was within his capabilities, and rescuing three of them was a start.

As for the shop’s name, after some contemplation, Su Yu decided on Yunxiao (Cloud Soar).

He wondered if there was a Yunxiao Palace in this world.

A corner on a peripheral street of the eastern market.

After some decoration, a shop officially opened for business. A sign was added above the door which read, Yunxiao Pill Pavilion.

A sign outside indicated that it specialized in third-grade pills.

Nearly half a month passed without a single customer in the shop.

In the backyard.

Su Yu wasn’t in a hurry. After finishing his daily cultivation, he came outside just in time to see Lin Qingxia standing outside the door like a puppet. He waved her over, led her to sit by the stone table in the yard, and made a pot of spiritual tea for them both.

“Taste it.”

Su Yu poured a cup of spiritual tea for Lin Qingxia and pushed it towards her. Then he poured another cup for himself to enjoy.

Lin Qingxia obediently picked up the tea cup and downed it in one gulp. She then put down the cup, her eyes vacant as she stared at Su Yu, unfocused.

Looking at her like this, Su Yu sighed lightly and asked, “What was your sect?”

“Ziyumen,” Lin Qingxia replied flatly.

“What about now?”

“It has been annihilated.”

“Do you want revenge?”

“….” A slight ripple emerged in Lin Qingxia’s vacant gaze, which lingered on Su Yu for a while before she whispered with her head slightly lowered, “I don’t. Qingxia is just your servant, no longer an elder of Ziyumen.”

She obviously wants revenge.

However, this showed how effective the methods of those servant-trading associations were, having reduced a True Man of the Core Formation Realm to such a state.
