The Golden Core cultivator who had just stepped onto the teleportation plaza of Xuanmu City was stunned for a moment when he heard the loud shout, and thought to himself:
“Are they talking about me?”
Before he could react, he was already surrounded by a crowd of cultivators who had come to watch the excitement.
Among the cultivators surrounding him, several Nascent Soul cultivators looked at this Golden Core cultivator with curiosity and discussed among themselves:
“Could this be the city lord of that mysterious mall?”
“Impossible, right? The city lord of the mysterious mall is only at the Golden Core stage?”
“It’s actually quite possible. According to my inside information, the city lord of the mysterious mall is indeed a Golden Core cultivator.”
“Huh? Is your inside information accurate?”
“Of course it’s accurate! My third uncle’s second uncle works at the city lord’s mansion. I got it from him.”
“Oh? Really? A Golden Core cultivator dares to build a city in the Xuanmu Realm? If he has resources to spare, he could give them to me!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s only been a few days, and the city was already discovered by the Blue Demon Race and directly broken?”
The Golden Core cultivator who had just teleported over was completely bewildered by the discussions around him.
After he came to his senses, he hurriedly explained:
“Seniors, I am not the city lord of the mysterious mall.”
Then, as if afraid they would not believe him, he continued:
“Moreover, the mysterious mall was not destroyed. After being discovered by the Blue Demon Race, the mysterious mall was besieged by more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators of the Blue Demon Race.”
“But the mysterious mall was completely unharmed. Instead, most of the Blue Demon Race’s Nascent Soul cultivators fell.”
“Now the mysterious mall has successfully completed its city construction. I am just a minor cultivator from that area, and I teleported here through the mysterious city’s teleportation array.”
After he finished speaking, the area around this Golden Core cultivator instantly fell silent.
After a long while, a cultivator finally spoke in a cracked voice:
“How many? Besieged by more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators of the Blue Demon Race? And still won? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“Holy crap, more than forty Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul cultivators? Where exactly is the mysterious mall’s city construction site?”
Normally, when Nascent Soul cultivators built a city, the location they chose tended to be toward the rear, not too far from Xuanmu City, at most a few thousand miles away.
When these cities were being built, they would usually only be besieged by around ten Nascent Soul cultivators of the Blue Demon Race.
Suddenly hearing that the mysterious mall had been besieged by more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators during its construction made everyone feel a sense of unreality.
Among the crowd, a slovenly Nascent Soul cultivator spoke impatiently:
“Kid, hurry up and tell us the detailed process. This old man is extremely curious.”
Hearing this, the other cultivators around him also turned their gazes toward this Golden Core cultivator who had just teleported over.
Feeling the gazes around him, this Golden Core cultivator trembled slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and forced himself to stay calm as he began to recount the process of the mysterious mall’s city construction.
When he got to the part about more than forty Nascent Soul cultivators attacking the city, the sixth-order protective formation, the sixth-order attack formation, sixth-order mid-grade and low-grade talismans, and even the appearance of a sixth-order supreme-grade talisman at the end.
Every one of these details drew exclamations and commotion from the crowd.
Whether it was sixth-order talismans or sixth-order formations, they all made everyone extremely envious.
Even just sixth-order low-grade talismans—among these Nascent Soul cultivators in the crowd, who were basically all rogue cultivators—not a single one of them had any.
After the commotion lasted for a moment, these people came to their senses and one after another abandoned that Golden Core cultivator, heading toward the teleportation light gate of the mysterious mall.
In place, only that Golden Core cultivator who had just teleported from the mysterious mall remained, standing there dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, still feeling a lingering fear.
Seeing the cultivators around him all entering the mysterious mall’s teleportation light gate and teleporting to the mysterious mall.
He hesitated for a moment, and in the end still walked toward the mysterious mall’s teleportation light gate.
That area was, after all, his main base of operations in the Xuanmu Realm.
Now that he had confirmed there was no problem with the mysterious mall’s safety, he naturally still had to return to the mysterious mall.
At the same time, the news that the mysterious mall had successfully completed its city construction also spread rapidly throughout Xuanmu City.
As the city that, apart from Xuanmu City itself, had encountered the largest number of Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul cultivators when its city construction was besieged.
The mysterious mall naturally aroused the curiosity of quite a few cultivators.
Especially after learning that the attacking Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul cultivators had fled with serious injuries.
Many Nascent Soul cultivators in Xuanmu City, and even cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage, began to entertain little ideas.
One by one, they all wanted to go explore the area where the mysterious mall had been built, to see if they could be lucky enough to run into one or two injured Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul cultivators.
For a time, quite a few human cultivators teleported through the teleportation array into Ye Qingxuan’s mysterious mall.
Inside the city lord’s mansion of Xuanmu City.
That Nascent Soul cultivator who had registered the city information for Ye Qingxuan.
Upon receiving the news that the mysterious mall had successfully completed its city construction, as well as the specific process of the city construction.
He could not help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart, and muttered with slight confusion:
“Could it be that some family’s junior came to the Xuanmu Realm for training?”
Among the cultivators who had successfully built cities in the Xuanmu Realm, this kind of situation was not unheard of.
Then, this Nascent Soul cultivator shook his head.
What the truth was did not matter much to him.
One more city or one less city, for the overall situation of the human race, was of no importance.
“After I finish this rotation period, I should return to the sect and break through.”
After completing this rotation duty, the contribution points he had accumulated could be exchanged for a chance to experience and comprehend the breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage.
By then, he would have a very good chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage.
Thinking of this, this Nascent Soul cultivator could not help but show a trace of excitement on his face.
Compared to information from the outside world, he valued his own breakthrough more.
Once he advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage, for a cultivator, it would be a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
Inside Ye Qingxuan’s mysterious mall.
The teleportation array connecting to Xuanmu City was constantly bringing in cultivators with curiosity in their eyes, entering the mysterious mall through the teleportation array.
The entire mysterious mall had now become incomparably lively.
Quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, after looking around the mysterious mall for a moment, immediately left the mysterious mall without delay.
After arriving outside the city, these Nascent Soul cultivators either:
Used secret techniques, attempting to capture the remaining aura or traces of the Blue Demon Race.
Or directly escaped into the mountain ranges on both sides of the plains, wanting to try their luck and see if they could find an injured Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul expert.
As for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, they began strolling around the mysterious mall.
From time to time, they entered the shops of the mysterious mall to inspect the products sold there.
All kinds of pills, magic treasures, formation discs, and talismans from the first to fifth order were almost all available.
Not only that, quite a few cultivators discovered that the mysterious mall actually also sold second- to fifth-order nuclear explosion pills, which drew many sidelong glances.
One had to know that although the recipe for nuclear explosion pills had already been published by the Earth Mystic Realm Alliance.
Because nuclear explosion pills involved four disciplines—alchemy, artifact refinement, formations, and talismans—the difficulty of refining them was too great.
Now in the Earth Mystic Realm, quite a few shops did not sell nuclear explosion pills at all.
In the Xuanmu Realm, only a few shops directly operated by the city lord’s mansion sold nuclear explosion pills, and even then only in limited quantities, causing prices to remain high.
Because below the sixth order, first- to fifth-order nuclear explosion pills had advantages over first- to fifth-order talismans.
Among lower-level cultivators, most preferred nuclear explosion pills, which could be controlled by spiritual sense and used flexibly.
Unfortunately, within the Earth Mystic Realm Alliance, attention given to ordinary nuclear explosion pills was not great.
After publishing the recipe for nuclear explosion pills, the upper levels of the Earth Mystic Realm Alliance, aside from still increasing research and production of Spirit-Washing Nuclear Explosion Pills.
Ordinary nuclear explosion pills had long been ignored by the upper levels of the Earth Mystic Realm.
At present, the shops in the Earth Mystic Realm that sold nuclear explosion pills were basically jointly operated by some medium and small forces, and the nuclear explosion pills were also refined together by these forces.
So the nuclear explosion pills that had only recently appeared on the market were still in a state of supply falling short of demand in the Earth Mystic Realm.
Now that they discovered the mysterious mall actually had large quantities of nuclear explosion pills for sale, it naturally once again stirred up curiosity in the cultivators’ hearts, making them want to probe the mysterious mall’s background.
Unfortunately, up to now, not a single one of these cultivators had seen the true appearance of the mysterious mall’s city lord.
