Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Divine Infant Cultivators could not make a move, thus the situation changed drastically.

Most notably, the number of Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators began to increase.

To strengthen the control of the sects, some Soul Condensation Realm Elders who had been in seclusion were released by their sects to patrol the world.

The Divine Infants were described as powerful precisely because they possessed a destructive power far beyond that of the Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators.

Some sects, which have lasted for thousands of years, depended on one or two Divine Infant Cultivators within their ranks.

For instance, Qionglou, the current overlord of Giant Marsh, had a significant influence in the region precisely because of a late-stage Divine Infant Supreme Elder within its main lineage.

The edict from the Holy Land now essentially nullified Qionglou's biggest trump card.

With a Divine Infant in residence previously, some middle and lower-ranked sects had to act cautiously, not daring to overstep.

Now that the Divine Infants were in hiding, it was as though some sects' foundations were pressed down, greatly weakening their deterrent power.

Without the strong maintaining order, what sometimes followed was only greater chaos.

However, compared to Divine Infants clashing, which often resulted in the destruction of cities and nations, the common people had much better days.

After all, causing too much harm to mortals would give those Divine Infant Cultivators a legitimate reason to intervene.

...

...

To the northwest of Wild Goose Wing Island, not less than ten thousand miles away, lay a cluster of islands named 'Chang Jian.'

This place was home to a small sect called the 'Water Sword Sect'; its strongest member was in the Early Soul Condensing Realm. Their business involved trade, and the sect had Demon Purging Masters adept at handling Water Demons. Cultivators who hunted Water Demons often came here to trade.

Over time, this place evolved into an Immortal Marketplace, where many sects established their outposts.

The morning sun lit up the earth, a gentle breeze swept across the river surface, releasing a thin mist, casting hazy shadows.

In the port along the shore, various boats intermingled, and Flying Boats hovered high in the sky, their flags dazzling.

A flat boat emerged from the fog, slowly entering the port. Song Lingqing took a deep breath, the air heavy with moisture, slightly soothing her throat.

Once the boat docked, she stepped off in one motion, silently reaching the shore.

After encountering Cheng Xuan and Wu Taiyun, Song Lingqing had headed straight here, planning to quickly dispose of everything she had obtained from Cheng Xuan.

The Storage Bag from Cheng Xuan contained numerous materials sourced from Water Demons, which could be exchanged for many Spirit Stones.

These items, not knowing if they retained any special marks, carried the risk of being tracked, better to liquidate them directly.

After walking around the marketplace, Song Lingqing managed to turn everything, including the Storage Bag, into Spirit Stones.

The most precious among them was the second-order Flying Sword stored in the long box, sufficient for Entry Dao Realm Cultivators, fetching a high price of seven hundred middle-quality Spirit Stones, exceeding the sum of all other items.

After offloading her items, Song Lingqing spent quite some time gathering information about Chu Zheng, wanting to learn some details.

Such a high bounty would move even the powerful, and even though Divine Infants could not move now, it still attracted a large number of Soul Condensation Realm Cultivators.

Soul Condensation Realm, within a Superior Immortal Sect, could act as Inner Sect Elders, their strength not to be underestimated. With Chu Zheng's current strength, if noticed, he would be in great danger.

After casually gathering some information, Song Lingqing did not linger in this place and quickly left the marketplace.

Just as she was about to reach the shore, her path was blocked by a figure in a black robe, causing her heart to tense, mana circulating, she held onto her Flying Sword.

Upon a clearer view of the person's face, she was startled:

"Chu..."

Song Lingqing immediately caught herself, swallowed the rest of her words, and cautiously looked around. Seeing no one else was present, she slightly relaxed.

Given Chu Zheng's currently dangerous situation, she couldn't help but be cautious.

"How come you are here?" Song Lingqing asked softly, "Do you know how many people are looking for you?"

"Tracked here by your aura."

Chu Zheng casually tossed the original Storage Bag back to Song Lingqing and then slightly moved the bones in his cheek, changing his face in the blink of an eye.

On his way here, he had already tried to practice the 'False Form' Divine Skill, hoping to alter his aura, but had not grasped even the slightest essence, clearly still insufficient in cultivation, only able to change appearances as a disguise.

Song Lingqing accepted the Storage Bag, and upon seeing the items inside, her expression turned slightly embarrassed.

At the time Chu Zheng wanted this Storage Bag, she hadn't thought much about it, many items had not been taken out, but fortunately, now it seemed there were no signs of tampering.

Looking at Song Lingqing before him, Chu Zheng sighed softly in his heart. They were still sisters after all, bearing a slight resemblance around their eyebrows and eyes.

However, after the turbulent changes, Song Lingqing seemed somewhat unapproachable, cold like a sword, whereas Song Lingxue always seemed more like a warm jade in his presence.

"What have you heard about me?"

Coming back to his senses, Chu Zheng inquired about the news concerning himself, as Song Lingqing's initial reaction had evidently shown her awareness of the bounty.

He had been in seclusion for the past two months, not keeping up with external news, still somewhat unclear about the situation, needing some information for analysis.

"I only found out yesterday, and I just inquired about some news. Your bounty seems to involve several Holy Lands. Now, the larger part of the cultivation world, and many sects, are searching for you." Song Lingqing said with a slight frown, clearly worried.

Hearing that several Holy Lands were involved, Chu Zheng's gaze sharpened as he pressed, "What about Taixuan?"
