Seeing this, Qi Yuanyi wasn't too surprised and explained the cultivation method of the Divine Path.
Only after listening did Lu Xin understand that this Divine Path was an extremely special cultivation method. It no longer focused on cultivating oneself, but on increasing cultivation by collecting the external force of incense offerings.
This could be considered a shortcut. Those who cultivated this path didn't improve their cultivation step by step. As long as they collected enough incense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could improve by one realm a day.
However, the limitations were also great. First, their strength was tied to incense. If the incense decreased, their cultivation would naturally decrease as well.
Second, they had geographical restrictions. Those who cultivated the Divine Path often couldn't stray too far from the place where they collected incense, otherwise they wouldn't be able to exert their strength.
Of course, some extremely special methods were exceptions.
Third, the upper limit was not high. Those who cultivated the Divine Path would deviate from the category of Immortals. Their strength could at most be raised to the equivalent of a True Immortal peak. They couldn't comprehend laws, and their lifespan wasn't infinite, but they could ensure the immortality of their True Spirit.
However, as the incense decreased, the True Spirit would gradually disappear.
Therefore, with all the above limitations, anyone in the Immortal Realm with a bit of ambition wouldn't choose to cultivate this path.
Only those whose lifespan was about to end but couldn't break through to the next realm would choose it out of desperation.
Like Qi Yuanyi.
After understanding these limitations, Lu Xin instantly lost interest in the Divine Path. Although he had [Convergence of All Paths], his cultivation would regress if the incense decreased, which would be a waste of time.
Afterwards, Lu Xin inquired about some other information. Unknowingly, with a jolt of the spacecraft, they arrived at Duo Yuan City, where the Tuling family was located.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, this is Duo Yuan City. Since this is also your first time here, would you like to come to our Tuling family for a visit?"
Outside the city, in an open space, Qi Yuanyi extended a warm invitation. After spending a few days together, he had roughly understood Lu Xin's character. It was unlikely that he was a wicked person.
Furthermore, after learning that the other party was just a rogue Immortal, he had some thoughts of winning him over.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xin withdrew his gaze from the magnificent giant city in front of him. How could he not hear the other party's intention to win him over? He smiled and cupped his fist, saying:
"Thank you for Fellow Daoist Qi's kindness, but I have said beforehand that I will automatically leave upon reaching a populated place, so I will accept your kindness with gratitude."
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Fellow Daoist Zhu, if you have anything, you can come to the Tuling family to find me." Qi Yuanyi wasn't disappointed. After entering the city, he bid farewell and left with his people.
Lu Xin stood on the street and glanced around, discovering that most of the people on the street were below the Immortal Realm, which wasn't surprising. According to Qi Yuanyi, the highest cultivation in Duo Yuan City was only Earth Immortal, and there was only one, the City Lord.
Below that were the various Human Immortal families.
Of course, some large forces would also project their power here. The most famous were the major merchant guilds.
This was also Lu Xin's main destination.
One was to see if there were any suitable cultivation methods, and the other was to find materials to upgrade the True Yang Divine Sword.
He had already inquired completely. To upgrade a Spiritual Treasure to the Acquired level, he needed to add Immortal Spiritual level materials that matched its original attributes.
These materials were also divided into first to ninth order.
And the True Yang Divine Sword belonged to Metal and Fire. To upgrade it to the Acquired Low-Grade level, he needed to find these two types of first-order Immortal Spiritual materials. In addition, he also needed a method of smelting.
These all required no small expense.
He calculated that he had previously found 11,056 low-grade Spirit Crystals from the Senluo Ghost Seal, and now he had more than 8,100 left. He didn't know how much purchasing power that was.
Previously, in order to avoid revealing his ignorance, he didn't inquire too much from Qi Yuanyi, and would wait to go and browse for himself.
Having made a decision, Lu Xin went directly towards the largest merchant guild in Duo Yuan City.
However, after only taking a few steps, he felt a commotion in the crowd.
"Quick, hide! Those Over Immortals are fighting over there, and they're about to fight over here!" Someone shouted as they walked.
Everyone heard this and quickly fled, and in the blink of an eye, the street was empty.
"What's going on?"
Lu Xin was extremely surprised and couldn't understand the customs here.
However, he didn't dare to stay any longer. While using his divine sense to investigate, he followed the crowd to hide. Who knew how high the realm of the Over Immortals they spoke of was? If he suffered collateral damage, he wouldn't even have time to cry.
Soon, his divine sense saw two Human Immortals in the late stage of fighting in the distant sky. One of them was a burly man with a beard, who looked extremely fierce.
The other was an old Daoist with a whisk in his hand. The two of them fled and chased, fighting all the way towards the city gate.
"Luo Tianba, today you have no way to escape!"
In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the city gate. The old Daoist suddenly flicked the whisk in his hand, and thousands of whisk strands immediately turned into flying spider silks, weaving into a net and covering the burly man.
The burly man snorted coldly, and his body suddenly turned into a sword light. Before the spider web could cover him, he shot out and disappeared in place in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!"
The old man's face was ugly. He retracted his whisk and was about to chase after him when a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and then disappeared in an instant.
The old man didn't show any panic because of this. Instead, he bowed in the air and returned to the city.
"Earth Immortal?"
On the other side, Lu Xin had just caught a glimpse of the figure and was a little surprised by the other party's speed. He could also teleport, but he definitely couldn't reach the other party's level.
"Now it's safe. With the City Lord taking action, Luo Tianba has no hope of escaping this time."
Beside him, an old man in the Mahayana stage stroked his beard and said.
"Grandpa, who is that Luo Tianba? Why are they chasing him?" Beside the old man, a Golden Core teenager asked curiously.
Lu Xin was also very curious and listened carefully without showing any expression.
He only heard the old man say: "Luo Tianba is naturally a great villain, who acts without restraint and specializes in targeting the weak. He is a figure on the Iron Profound Hall's wanted list. Anyone who can kill him can go to claim a reward."
"I see." The Golden Core teenager nodded and asked doubtfully: "I just saw Luo Tianba transform into a sword light and disappear in the blink of an eye. Can the City Lord catch up?"
The old man smiled and said: "You, you'll know the gap between each realm when you reach the Immortal Realm. That Luo Tianba is in the late stage of Human Immortal, and the City Lord is in the realm of Earth Immortal. Do you know what Earth Immortal is?"
The Golden Core teenager eagerly said: "Grandpa, don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly."
The old man smiled, stroking his beard and showing off: "The so-called Earth Immortal is one who can shrink the land within a star, travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, and travel all over the five lakes and four seas of our Iron Profound Star in a day."
"So powerful?" The Golden Core teenager opened his mouth wide, "Then can the Heavenly Immortal just travel freely between the stars?"
The old man smiled and shook his head, "It's not that exaggerated. Each star looks very close, but it's actually very far away. If you really rely on Heavenly Immortal cultivation to fly through the air, it would take at least several years."
"So long?"
"That's why there are interstellar spaceships. In addition, you can also spend a huge sum of money to take the teleportation array at the Iron Profound Hall."
After listening, Lu Xin didn't expect the gap between Human Immortal and Earth Immortal to be so big. If he accidentally provoked one, it would definitely be difficult to run away.
Fortunately, he had [Divine Concealment], so he could just find a place to hide.
"I wonder what the attack is like?" Putting down his thoughts of exploration, Lu Xin headed towards the merchant guild.
