Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 193: AzureMoon City

The plan is to start with toys, musical instruments, and food spices like MSG. So no big power feels threatened by them, as they gather intel and recruit more people for their sect.

Firearms, explosives, and other weapons are not for sale; they plan to keep them to themselves as long as they can.

But Alex knows as they grow and conflicts come, it's only a matter of time before one of the weapons will reach their enemies' hands.

Alex knows there is nothing he can do to stop it. He can make some countermeasures, but it will only slow down the process.

The only thing they can do is make sure to use them effectively and as sparingly as possible.

MingYue makes her way quickly to find her master, asking around for information as JiangNu before finally leaving the sect. Moving through the forest, the silent LinHua suddenly starts talking again.

'I know that place, Mystic Jade Valley. There is an evil sect staying there; I don't get why your master would go there.'

'How could I know? Tell me about the evil sect.' MingYue asked. She doubted LinHua would lie or do anything to hurt her. Nor does she feel worried about it.

"I got a mission once from the sect to look for a specific herb in that valley; that is where I met them. I only fought them once before I ran away."

"You? Run away? How strong are they?"

MingYue knows LinHua is the type that only runs if she knows there is no way to win. She is by no means a coward; otherwise, she wouldn't dare take such a huge risk trying to kill her.

As long as she was sure there was a benefit and good odds to win, she would go for it.

"They have an ancient cultivation method, I don't know how, but they fight using something like a puppet."

"A puppet? Mannequin? We have those in the sect; how is it different?"

"It's very different; mannequins move autonomously, while they are moved manually by the user.

That is why I call them a puppet. And these puppets also have many things put inside their bodies, many weird weapons laced with dangerous poison."

"A hidden weapon?" MingYue raised her eyebrow; this reminded her of one of the novels she had read, a book with characters surnamed Tang.

'But this one uses a puppet, which is interesting. I wonder where they got this method from?

Now that I think of it. Is it possible for ancient cultivation methods to come from another world?

Since a dungeon is just like a secret realm. Maybe one of the secret realms is connected to another world.'

'What is a hidden weapon?'

'Hard to explain. Basically, it's a complicated mechanism that shoots out needles at high power, usually laced with poison.'

'So you will use the teleportation array at AzureMoon city?'

AzureMoon is the nearest big city to the BlueLotus sect and has many teleportation arrays. Based on distance, she will need to take an array there, going to Mystic River City, before moving toward their goal.

Hearing Mystic River City reminds her of a rumor she heard at the tavern she just visited.

There seems to be a new clan coming to that place and having a fight with the local sect; if the information was right, that clan is Yang Clan.

"Do we have another choice?" MingYue asked. She then took out the mask to alter her appearance once more.

Having a beautiful face just pulls unwanted attention in crowded places like the city.

AzureMoon is one of the main cities in the region. Although many cities are under the control of sects, they usually have relations with sects in the main region.

There are a few big cities they never dare to touch.

It's also the reason why the main sect in the main region doesn't go to all-out war. Every single sect still needs to think before doing anything since there are other organizations staying there.

This organization works like an empire, but they are not called as such. In her world, they are called ShangXi Temple.

The temple acts like the government, protecting the commoners and maintaining order. Led by a Council that is filled by a group of Immortals.

There is a reason they are named temples and not kingdoms. ShangXi temple has many rituals, making it a religion for many commoners in the central region.

Based on rumors she heard, there are 12 immortals inside the council. But she doesn't know how much of this is the truth since the credibility of this story is questionable.

Only by going there themselves would she know the truth.

It doesn't take long for her to reach AzureMoon City. The gates were filled with crowds of people queuing to enter the city.

There are many chariots pulled by horses or spirit animals. Even cultivators think twice about making problems in this place.

Your adventure starts at m,vle,mpyr.

The ShangXi Temple is famous for hunting each of them to the end without mercy.

MingYue waits in the queue, waiting for her turn.

"A cultivator? What is your realm?" The guard with a sheathed sword on his waist asked.

"Must I report it?"

"You can stay hidden, but it will cost you ten low-quality spirit crystals.

If you tell us your identity, we will record it and give you treatment depending on your realm."

"No need," MingYue replied as she took out ten low-quality spirit crystals.

If not mentioned, it's been a culture for everyone that one spirit crystal is equal to 50g (1.76 Ounce).

After paying, the guard doesn't ask anything further. He gives MingYue a specially carved jade emblem.

"This will serve as your identity in this city. If you leave this place, please return it to one of our guards.

We have one stationed at every exit or the teleportation array."

The guard gives a signal, and then MingYue passes by the guard. Inside the palace, it is very crowded with many activities.
