Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 178 - Jade Treasure City

Each of the three governing regions in the Blue Moon Continent had one of the largest cultivator cities. The Blue Cloud Country had the Sky Treasure City, the Green Forest Country had the Jade Treasure City, and the Red Land Country had the Earth Treasure City.

These three cultivator cities were under the supervision and management of the richest group of cultivators in the entire Blue Moon Continent, namely the Jade Treasure Tower as they were the founders of these three cities.

Overall, the Sky Treasure City was the most massive cultivator city in the Blue Moon Continent, but the Jade Treasure City was the most densely populated city.

If you only see the area in the Green Forest Country, Jade Treasure City is the largest city, followed by Spring City in second place and Fire Weasel City in third.

The Jade Treasure City is more properly referred to as a trading city and is less suitable to be a city of long-term residence, except as a temporary stopover. There are many shops within the city and they are all managed by the Jade Treasure Tower.

The Jade Treasure City as well as the other two greatest cultivator cities had a distinctive feature, namely that all of the inhabitants were cultivators and there was a barrier formation capable of suppressing the power of the Heavenly Senses.

That said, only these three neutral cultivator cities were fitted with this kind of barrier formation, in order to make all customers safe and comfortable since their privacy was definitely maintained.

The barrier formation of the Jade Treasure City was the most powerful. It was so powerful, to the point that cultivators who possessed the Heavenly Sense could not use their abilities this one. Little did he know, Feng Xian was able to use his Heavenly Sense as a tracker covering a five-meter radius in this city and that was something great.

But Feng Xian's prowess was still inferior to that of his only disciple, Yao Han, in this city. Any strongest barrier formation was completely useless against Yao Han's Visible Eyes.

In theory, this barrier formation was made with a fairly simple reason, which was even though the Jade Treasure City was still less neutral when compared to the Moonlight City, which was the same as the Moonlight City, this largest trading city every day always has visitors from various streams.

It was not easy and cheap to set up a very strong barrier formation, but the Jade Treasure Tower felt it was worth the results they got, which was a huge advantage, as well as the trust and comfort of the customers.

The Jade Treasure City and its barrier formation were already common secrets, except for novice cultivators or most ordinary mortals. Therefore, Yun Mohei reminded Yun Lian before entering this in order not to be far away from the three bodyguards of the girl.

Yun Lian only responded with a slow nod, although in her heart she did not promise to follow the advice of her grandfather's right hand.

Yun Lian had a rebellious and stubborn demeanor that was almost unknown to the people closest to her. Long went through closed training and rarely went out of the sect, making his young spirit blazing.

This also made him happy when venturing out of the sect in search of more life experiences before undergoing closed-door training again to enter the Foundation Realm.

During the trip in the region of the Green Forest Country, Yun Lian secretly felt a great difference in atmosphere and conditions when compared to when she was still in the Red Land Country.

Suppose like the temperament of its inhabitants, the spread of cultivators, the density of Qi, and the number of demons. After his accidental encounter with the East Wind disciple, Yun Lian and his entourage were several times confronted by quite a number of demons.

After a long journey, Yun Lian's small entourage arrived at Jade Treasure City. From a distance, it has been seen the crowds of visitors to the city. Yun Lian had never seen such a crowd either in the Moon Cloud Sect nor the city she had passed through before.

The small group entered with Yun Lian's formation flanked by three bodyguards. Yun Mohei was in front of the girl, while the other two elders were here right and left.

"As usual, the Jade Treasure City was bustling and crowded with visitors." Xie Hong expressed his opinion.

"I've heard a lot about this city, but this is the first time I've come here. Has the Jade Treasure City always been this crowded?" yun Mohei asked observing the crowd around him.

"Yes, Elder Mohei. I've been here a few times and the city is always crowded like this. Is there something bothering you?"

"Hm, I'm not too sure. But I feel like we shouldn't have entered this city today. Since it's already been, we'd better not linger here."

"There's nothing you need to worry about, Elder Mohei. Even if you're bothered by the hustle and bustle of this town, it's most likely because there's going to be an annual auction."

The annual auction was a routine activity carried out by the Jade Treasure Tower and became one of the reasons they became rich quickly in a short time. Normally, auctions were held once every ten years and were most often held in the Jade Treasure City.

"Auction..." Mo Zha's eyes lit up hearing the word auction, his face looking enthusiastic, like a child being given candy. "I haven't been at the auction for a long time. Maybe the last time was thirty years ago. If there really is an auction, we should follow it!" exclaim Mo Zha.

"I understand your enthusiasm, Little Mo. But we're not here for that. We are only here for a moment just to look around before returning to the sect or at least going somewhere else."

"Come on, Elder Mohei. I don't think it's a big deal to take the time to have a little fun and relax for a while. By going to the auction, at least we can get one or two interesting items." Mo Zha tried to persuade.

"We? It's obvious you're all. You must want to get stuff for your weird experiment." Xie Hong sneered.

"How dare you call my experiment weird!" Mo Zha's emotions ignited. "What you call weird is that it's a high-value work of art. You'll see how good my master is!"

"I'm not interested. Miss Yun, you better not get too close to this person, he will pass on his strangeness to you... Eh? Miss Yun? Miss Yun?!"

Xie Hong who turned his head to the right side became panicked and screamed stifled because the girl he called 'Miss Yun' was not within his sight. It turned out that he had just spoken with an empty wind.

Mo Zha who was beside the right quickly turned his head and reacted similarly. "Miss Yun?! Elder Xie, where did Miss Yun go?!"

Xie Hong's face became bad. "If you ask me, then who do I ask?!"

Yun Mohei looked back and his face paled. "The two of you... How can you let go of the surveillance on Miss Yun?!"

It was hard to find a visual of a character that was a hundred percent match for the Fire Sword Goddess Hong Meirong, the beautiful teacher of the novel's main character. But at least, the following visuals could represent 75 percent of the original beauty and figure of Hong Meirong, hehehe. How's it?
