After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea

Chapter 217 Entering the Mansion

After understanding the division of realms in cultivation on the Fantasy Moon Continent, Qi Lin then talked about the situation of their current location.

This is one of the villages outside of Chiyun City. Chiyun City is an inconspicuous city among the dozens of cities in the western region of Huanyue Continent. The city is mainly controlled by three major families. However, the main competition and cooperation among the three major families is not in Chiyun City, but in the Blood Mist Mountain a hundred miles away from Chiyun City.

The Blood Mist Mountain is home to all kinds of exotic flowers and plants as well as powerful beasts. It is the most important source of cultivation resources for the three major families.

However, the Blood Mist Mountain is always filled with red mist. Entering rashly is not only harmful to the cultivators, but also easy to get lost. Only during a specific half-month period each year will the blood mist dissipate, and the three major families will have the opportunity to arrange their elites to enter and search for various cultivation resources.

After roughly understanding the situation, Xu Feng, in addition to being grateful, took the initiative to propose to exchange cultivation experiences with Qi Lin. Qi Lin was naturally overjoyed at this. As a cultivator who had not yet started cultivation, he was too embarrassed to bring up this matter. Upon hearing this, he immediately took Xu Feng into his practice room, leaving Qi Fang alone there.

The two of them talked in detail in the retreat room for three days and three nights. Qi Lin discussed all his confusions about cultivation with Xu Feng one by one, and even took out his cultivation method and let Xu Feng read it. Of course, the cultivation method Qi Lin practiced was a common one in the Western Region of Huanyue Continent, and it was not rare.

During the conversation between Xu Feng and the other party, he also realized that although the other party was somewhat calculating, he was not a bad person and was honest. Since he had helped him, he would naturally not be stingy.

Xu Feng shared all his experience with him, and more than once used his own spiritual power to nourish his meridians and heal some minor hidden injuries that he had incurred due to his eagerness for success.

……

Two months later!

After many exchanges with Xu Feng, Qi Lin finally realized that he had made a small mistake in his practice. After more than a month of making up for it, and using up the last bit of his family wealth to buy a lowest-grade elixir to assist in breakthrough, he finally entered the early stage of the first level of the human Yuan realm.

Qi Lin, a man of integrity, couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling the genuine joy of having finally become a mother-in-law after being a daughter-in-law for many years.

"Brother Xu, I was able to achieve my wish this time thanks to your great help. I would like to thank you very much." Qi Lin said with tears of gratitude.

"Why should we be so polite?" Xu Feng waved his hand carelessly. Qi Lin was not the kind of person who was hypocritical, so he did not continue to talk. The two of them drank and talked happily. It is better to do than to talk. Talking too much would make them seem distant.

"By the way, you said before that after you started practicing, you planned to find a job in the Sikong family, one of the three major families?" Xu Feng changed the subject.

"That's right! It's too difficult to be a free cultivator. Most of the cultivation resources are monopolized by large families. Only by relying on them can we, cultivators with no power, no influence and no background, improve our strength faster." Qi Lin sighed with inexplicable excitement.

"Brother Qi, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. You have just entered the first level of the Human Yuan Realm, and your realm is not yet completely stable. Even if you have reached the minimum threshold to enter the Sikong family, I'm afraid... I think it would be safer for you to wait another month or two." Xu Feng said.

"Brother Xu, don't worry. My cousin is the purchasing manager of the Sikong family. With his introduction, we will definitely be able to smoothly enter the Sikong family to work this time. It was me who could not step into the human Yuan realm before. Even if my cousin wants to help, he can't break the rules." Qi Lin said confidently.

There was another reason he didn't mention. The Qi family's wealth had been exhausted. He and Xu Feng had been practicing hard for the past two months, and they had been living off their savings. If this continued, the family would not be able to make ends meet. He urgently needed to find a job, not only to obtain what he needed for practice, but also to supplement the family income and save some dowry for his sister.

After hearing this, Xu Feng stopped persuading him and felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

The cultivation environment of the Fantasy Moon Continent is indeed better than that of the Burning Flame Continent. He was originally only one step away from the seventh level, and now it should be said that he is only one step away from the third level of the Human Yuan Realm. After this experience of hardship, he has gained some insights, and the superior cultivation environment of this world seems to have freed him from a layer of shackles. After these two months of practice, he was naturally promoted to the third level of the Human Yuan Realm.

Although this strength is nothing in the Sikong family, which has three powerful people above the seventh level of the human realm, it should not be a big problem to find a job. Moreover, he has nothing now. If he wants to continue to practice and become stronger, he will inevitably need to earn practice resources from the three major families.

……

Xu Feng and Qi Lin traveled lightly, and soon arrived at Chiyun City with a hint of excitement and anticipation. After paying the entrance fee, they entered the city smoothly.

"When we become members of the three major families in the future, as long as we wear the Sikong family's clothes, we won't have to pay the entrance fee when entering the city." Qi Lin said with a smile.

"I see." Xu Feng nodded.

As we entered the city, we were greeted by a bustling scene. The wide streets could accommodate several carriages passing in parallel, and the streets were crisscrossed with shops, including shops selling various elixirs, weapons, and martial arts techniques, as well as lively taverns, teahouses, and inns.

The city was bustling with people, with vendors shouting their wares, and ordinary people bargaining. Occasionally, a monk with extraordinary aura passed by, which was awe-inspiring.

Qi Lin brought Xu Feng all the way to the Sikong family mansion. They did not dare to disturb the majestic and magnificent gate, so they went straight to the corner gate. Then Qi Lin asked the gatekeeper to inform him that he was a relative of Manager Niu who was in charge of purchasing.

"Uncle!" Seeing his elder, Qi Lin bowed with great respect.

The middle-aged man was quite dignified in his gestures. He glanced at Qi Lin calmly and said, "Since you dare to come to me, you must have already entered the realm of cultivation?"

"Yes, thanks to my cousin, my nephew has luckily succeeded recently." Qi Lin said hurriedly, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

"Well. In that case, you can work under me from now on." Manager Niu said casually.

"Now follow me to see the chief steward and register."

"Uncle, this is my friend. It is thanks to his help that I was able to get started in cultivation. This time, he also wanted to ask for a job in the Sikong family." Qi Lin hurriedly introduced Xu Feng.

"My name is Xu Feng, nice to meet Manager Niu." Xu Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh?" Manager Niu looked at Xu Feng with interest.

"What is your level of cultivation?" asked Manager Niu.

"I just broke through the third level of the Human Yuan Realm." Xu Feng replied.

"That's right, then come with me to see the butler. You two are lucky, as the mansion just happens to be in need of people." Steward Niu touched the small goatee on his chin and said with a hint of satisfaction.

……

The two of them were brought by Steward Niu to pay a visit to the Sikong family's chief steward, who was a sixth-level human Yuan realm expert. The process was uneventful. After all, within the jurisdiction of Chiyun City, any cultivator who started practicing would basically join one of the three major families. He had dealt with too many such matters.

Instruct Steward Niu to handle it according to the procedure. After Steward Niu respectfully withdrew, he took the two people to test their cultivation first, then to test their conscience, and then to register, record their information, and receive family clothing and waist badges.

The whole procedure took more than an hour.

The next step was to arrange the errands. Qi Lin naturally followed Manager Niu. With this elder's care, he thought that even if he was weak, he would be able to gain a foothold in the Sikong family quickly.

As for Xu Feng, he followed the advice of Manager Niu and became the bodyguard of Sikong Ming, the ninth son of the Sikong family.
