Seed of Dao

Blue Moon City

It took a full day for Ye Chen to learn Guiyuan Gong. Because different from the basic qi absorption formula, the difficulty level and complexity of Guiyuan Gong was many times harder.

Fortunately the effect of Guiyuan Gong wasn't disappointing. Only two days were needed for Ye Chen to finally break through to qi refinement second level.

After the breakthrough, Ye Chen's strength and qi also increased twofold from before. What amazed him even more, his spiritual consciousness now covered almost one hundred meters. For early qi refinement level cultivators, normal spiritual consciousness distance was only about fifty meters. But somehow, Ye Chen's spiritual consciousness far exceeded cultivators at the same level, almost double.

Ye Chen didn't know whether this was because of the Guiyuan Gong he trained, or due to other factors. But he wasn't complaining—the farther the spiritual consciousness range, the better for surviving in this dangerous cultivation world.

After everything, Ye Chen finally felt satisfied, and decided to practice the Fast Sword Control Technique.

But he didn't expect that this sword technique actually required quite high requirements. Besides having to use spiritual consciousness and a very large amount of qi, it needed at least a high-level magical treasure.

Thinking about high-level magical treasures, those were weapons that could only be used by qi refinement ninth level and above. So, the small black sword he had meant a high-level magical treasure. No wonder Ye Chen couldn't use it, because his dantian energy wasn't sufficient.

Fortunately he had very great soul power, so although he couldn't use the high-level magical treasure maximally, he could still control it if it remained small in form.

Even if he couldn't use the technique perfectly, he could still use at minimum twenty-five percent of its power.

It sounded like only twenty-five percent, but actually it was enough. Because according to instructions, twenty-five percent was enough to kill an equal opponent without needing to hold the sword. Added to the small sword's size, that could also become another trump card for Ye Chen.

So, he didn't hesitate and began refining the small sword using his soul consciousness.

But Ye Chen didn't keep practicing. When he felt he could control the small black sword well, he decided to leave. The residence he rented was too small, and impossible to practice well in, so he had to go to Blue Moon City.

Several days later, Ye Chen finally arrived at the foot of Blue Mountain, and began to understand why the mountain was called Blue Mountain. From where he stood, Ye Chen found that Blue Mountain was actually a mountain of rocks colored blue. Its size was very large, and its height almost reached the clouds.

Seen from below and from afar, the mountain would appear clearly dark blue.

Why this Blue Mountain was chosen as the cultivation city center was also appropriate, because besides a cultivator, it would probably be very difficult to climb to its peak. Setting aside height and mountain terrain, there was cold air and strong winds that would continuously blow when someone climbed to the peak.

Even though Ye Chen was already at qi refinement second level, he still felt cold and somewhat difficult to climb to the peak. If it were ordinary humans, they probably wouldn't be able to do it.

About five thousand meters up the mountain, a height that hadn't reached halfway, Ye Chen found that the scenery that was initially only rocks had actually changed.

As if having entered a world that wasn't a mountain at all, Ye Chen found that the aura concentration and scenery of a large city apparently didn't come from the mountain.

Setting aside other things, Ye Chen was already amazed with the appearance of blue city walls, made from very high jade stone and surrounding the entire city. He didn't know how big this city was, but he was sure it must be very large.

From the city gate, Ye Chen found that many cultivators came and went without paying the slightest attention to him. Looking at those people, Ye Chen found that they were all cultivators. Even the aura from the gate guards was many times stronger than his.

"Finally arrived in a bigger world." Ye Chen took a deep breath, and walked toward the long queue that would enter the city.

At the same time, Ye Chen looked at the people coming and going with a slightly helpless feeling. Because as far as his eyes could see, he found that all these cultivators were far stronger than him. Fortunately no one paid attention to or made things difficult for him.

"Show your identity!" A strong man, looking somewhat cold spoke when it was Ye Chen's turn.

"What identity?" Ye Chen asked not knowing.

"Is this your first time coming to Blue Moon City?" The city guard asked again and wasn't too surprised by Ye Chen's question.

"Correct." Ye Chen nodded and didn't dare mess around, because the man in front of him had an aura many times stronger than his.

"Then you must register first." The guard said while directing Ye Chen toward the city, where there was a stand with a somewhat old man guarding it.

When Ye Chen walked toward him, the man didn't look and directly asked questions, "Name, origin and purpose of coming to Blue Moon City?"

"Um," Ye Chen felt a bit uncomfortable with that question, but he immediately answered, "Ye Chen, Siqing village. My purpose is to see the world."

"Siqing village?" The man glanced at Ye Chen, apparently never heard of that village, but he didn't care and began carving a pentagonal plate on the table where he worked.

Then handed it to Ye Chen while saying, "Since this is your first time coming, you won't be charged. But don't lose your identity token, if not, the remaking f*e will be far more expensive."

After speaking, the man no longer paid attention to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen himself also only nodded understanding his instructions, and walked in before stopping when seeing a board inscribed with several rules in Blue Moon City.

Blue Moon City's rules looked normal, like not allowed to fight, fly and so on. With such rules, it could be ascertained that this place was very safe for weak people like himself.

With guaranteed safety, Ye Chen began entering the city with a calm feeling, then saw several people setting up shops along the road, and couldn't help but feel amazed.

If compared to Commonwealth City, this Blue Moon City was clearly better in terms of goods and their authenticity. Ye Chen even found some people selling demon beasts as pets. Of course he didn't know about or was interested in such wild beasts. So he only looked around and then arrived at a larger shop to look for encyclopedia books that explained about demon beasts, herbal medicines and the like.

Even though Ye Chen had information about several herbal medicines and pills, that was only basic knowledge and didn't explain them in detail.

At the same time, he also thought about making alchemy and asked the shop clerk girl, "Do you sell Green Qi Grass and alchemy furnaces here?"

"Green Qi Grass and alchemy furnace?" The girl was slightly surprised and looked toward Ye Chen with some doubt.
