Chapter 618: Steward Cao, Qingzhu Brew

at the end of that fine thread was a nearly transparent ice-snow seal floating in mid-air. On it flickered a series of lively runes, emanating a power of pure, cool, yet not frigid ice and snow."The...The Emperor of Qinling thus managed to quell all the major Xianxia sects on the Chiyan Continent in one fell swoop. Those who followed his lead prospered, while those who opposed him perished. 。The Chibi Continent, besides the desolate wilderness in the far north and the heavily forested region in the extreme south, has mostly fallen under the rule of the Qin Kingdom. Those who refused to submit fled to the mountains infested with monsters or sailed east across the endless sea, seeking refuge in the southern swamps. 。The State of Qin became an unprecedentedly massive immortal cultivation empire on the Chi Yan Continent. 。The Qilin Emperor also created a unprecedented flourishing age of the Immortal Dynasty. 。The whereabouts of the Great Emperor after Qinling are unknown. Some say he died of old age, while others say he shattered the void and reached a higher level of cultivation plane. 。There are many different legends about it. 。After the disappearance of the Qin Emperor, his vast empire, held together by his iron fist, lasted for less than a millennium before collapsing. 。From this point forward, the Chiyan Continent split into hundreds of different sized cultivation nations. 。Entering the era of conquest among nations, since the Emperor Qinling, no one has possessed such dominion again. Some immortal sects rose from the ashes, reopening their doors and establishing new lineages. However, these immortal sects were unable to shake the dominance of the major celestial dynasties that ruled the Chiyan Continent. 。As for the era established by Emperor Qinling tens of thousands of years ago, which laid the foundation for today's cultivation landscape on the Chiyan Continent, Lu Xia Tian also heard a surge of admiration. Almost single-handedly, he influenced an entire continent for hundreds of thousands of years. How powerful would that have to beThere are still many rumors about Emperor Qinling, but over time, some remain shrouded in myth and legend, while others are impossible to verify. 。Even during his time in Wusheng City, Lü Xia Tian would occasionally hear about treasures related to the Emperor of Qinling. Most of them were simply stories about a certain master blacksmith who had forged a replica of one of the Emperor of Qinling's magic weapons. 。The Emperor of Qinling Mountains did exist hundreds of thousands of years ago after all. Hearing it too much, Lu Xia Tian felt it was becoming commonplace. 。Walking through various immortal cultivation realms requires a specific identity waist card, similar to the waist cards of previous immortal cultivation sects. 。Otherwise, identity will be unclear and you might be suspected of being a suspicious cultivator at any time. 。Even after going to other places, this identity card remains very important. 。One month ago, Lu Xia Tian spent over two hundred low-grade spirit stones to apply for a new waist card. However, the cultivation level indicated on the waist card was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. 。Much like the situation at Yuecheng in the past, the Black Heaven Mountains are home to a large number of demonic beasts. Every few decades, or sometimes even several decades, massive beast hordes will form and surge towards Wushang City, Xiang Nation, Nan'an Nation, and Dachi Nation. Each nation has sent a contingent of cultivators to garrison here. 。Caosheng, Marquis of Zhenwei, belonged to the state of Daqi. Because of his outstanding military achievements and deep magical powers, he was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Zhenwei. 。“Waiter, bring me a pot of aged Qingzhu brew, and ten kilograms of beef from Xiyun Valley.” 。At this time, an elderly man with white hair and eyebrows walked in from the doorway. He didn't seem to have high cultivation, only at the late stage of foundation building, but his aura was several points stronger than that of ordinary cultivators at the early stage of Jindan. 。"Very well, so it's Cao the steward. Please wait a moment, I'll get some warm wine for Master Cao first." 。The shop boy enthusiastically responded, leading Cao Kun to a private seat upstairs. 。The Emperor of the Qinling Mountains founded the era of Xian Chao on the Red Abyss Continent. The distinction between cultivators and ordinary mortals was no longer as clear-cut as before, and over time, the hierarchy and titles of cultivators and ordinary people gradually became blurred. 。If you didn't know anything about this place, in the Moon Gazing Cultivation Realm, you might think you'd arrived at some ordinary mundane village. 。

At this moment, Lu Xiaitian, who was sitting by the window, moved his eyes and showed a hint of smile. He had stayed in Wushang City for several months. Besides learning about some general situations of the Chiyan Continent, he was also busy preparing for the new magic weapon he was going to refine.

Seven-tiered pagoda!

The crafting of the seven-tiered pagoda, however, was inextricably linked to an abandoned well within Lord Zhenwei's mansion.

To figure out how to safely use the well, Lu Xia Tian had been racking his brains for months. The breakthrough lay with this steward named Cao Kun. He was the steward of the Zhenwei Hou Mansion... 。Several months ago, after leaving the Zhenwei Hou Mansion, Lu Xiaoteng stayed in the vicinity of the mansion for over ten days to find an opportunity to enter. He observed the routines of the servants and guards who entered and exited the mansion daily. 。Including Cao Kun, Lu Xia Tian easily caught up with several handymen. With his cultivation level, it wouldn't be difficult for him to pry open the mouth of an ordinary handyman. 。From this errand boy's mouth, Lu Xia Tian learned that Cao Kun wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. Cao Kun's ancestors for three generations had been stewards of the Cao Mansion, loyal and dedicated. 。Originally surnamed Liu, later changed to Cao 。Cao Kun was originally also a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, but Hou Zhenwei, Cao Sheng's military achievements came from fighting on the battlefield. He was ruthless and naturally made many enemies. 。One night, enemies attacked the residence of Marquis Zhenwei. Cao's experts repelled them, but Cao Kun was tricked by a cultivator and his cultivation level plummeted to save Cao Sheng. He barely escaped with his life, but his cultivation could never return to its former glory. 。However, as a cultivator at the mid-stage of Jindan, his lifespan wasn't affected by his injuries. Otherwise, he would have died already. 。For this reason, Marquis Zhenwei treated Cao Kun like his own brother. With the support of Marquis Zhenwei's mansion, ordinary Jindan cultivators really wouldn't dare to provoke Cao Kun, whose cultivation had only reached the late stage of Qi Refining. 。

Lu Xiaotian didn't initially pay attention to this person. However, by chance, Lu Xiaotian followed Cao Kun to this rather small tavern and discovered a secret about Cao Kun – he had a fondness for drinking.

especially like qingzhu wine carnage.Tens of thousands more celestial troops from the Heavenly Court, Sangling Clan, and Chihu Clan warriors continued to arrive from afar, bolstering their ranks on the battlefield. Even farther...
