The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 44 Tianxing Kingdom

Tianxing Kingdom, the only dynasty located in the Nan'an region, has Jimo as its only royal surname for thousands of years.

As for how they managed to maintain the Jimo surname lineage for so long, I don't know.

From the time their ancestor, Emperor Mao of Jimo, conquered this land and established the nation, to the present seventeenth emperor, Emperor Zhengyuan of Jimo, the Jimo family has never ceased to control the imperial power.

Its powerful army and sound governance allowed it to stand firmly in the Nan'an region, and every year on the national birthday, the Baiyue people would come to pay tribute.

It is now close to the birthday of the Tianxing Kingdom, and for the past month, the main city has been bustling with delegations from all over the country coming and going, making the streets big and small incredibly lively.

The famous Zhaiyunlou Restaurant, located on the most bustling street, was also constantly crowded with customers, but most of them were visiting delegations from other places who had come because of its reputation.

After all, having come all the way to Tianxing Kingdom, one must come and see this world-famous building with one's own eyes.

Zhaiyun Tower has twelve floors in total. It adopts the style of the time of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and also incorporates some modern architectural styles.

However, what made it famous was not its architectural style, but its unparalleled cuisine.

Every dish offered at Zhaiyunlou is unique, leaving a lasting impression and proving that no one can replicate its flavor. This is how it earned its reputation.

Meanwhile, Liu Xingxing was eating these legendary dishes in the best private room of Zhaiyun Tower, and she tasted a familiar flavor.

These dishes, imbued with spiritual power, are of course impossible for ordinary people to replicate!

I thought he was some culinary god descended to earth, but it turns out he's just a fellow villager from the cultivation world.

But where did this person get so many vegetables and animals imbued with spiritual power?

Moreover, the reputation of Zhaiyunlou has been passed down for more than ten years.

In this world, the spiritual energy she could sense was negligible, yet this person was able to sell spiritual energy like ordinary vegetables.

Actually, it's not exactly ordinary. A single dish here, in mortal terms, would cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of taels of silver. It's practically like eating money.

"What, you don't like it?"

Seeing Liu Xingxing's disgusted expression, Ji Mochuan assumed that the food was not to her liking.

That makes sense, after all, she's an immortal from Penglai Stream, how could she be interested in mortal things?

Let's go back to three days ago, when Liu Xingxing arrived here and was immediately soaked to the bone.

After a few seconds of brainstorming upon hearing Ji Mochuan's question, Liu Xingxing immediately came up with a solution.

Now that he knows about Penglai Stream, things will be much easier.

"What imperial advisor? I don't know what you're talking about. I came here to find my senior brother who had run away. I was passing by on a cloud when I inexplicably fell down."

"Oh, looking for my senior brother? Are you sure you're not here to see the Imperial Advisor?"

"I already said I don't know any imperial advisor. Why don't you let me go up first? My clothes are all wet and I feel uncomfortable."

Liu Xingxing said this, but she didn't care whether he agreed or not. She bypassed the person blocking her way and climbed up using both hands and feet.

Just as he was about to use the spiritual power stored in his body to perform a hand seal to dry himself off, the guy next to him grabbed his hand that was about to make the seal.

Liu Xingxing looked at him speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

"You still say you're not an assassin? What kind of hidden weapon are you preparing to use?"

Liu Xingxing was speechless again.

"Brother, is your life worth that much? I already told you it was an accident, I don't want to kill you."

Seeing that the woman's tone didn't seem fake, Ji Mochuan released his hand with some doubt.

"You claim to be an immortal from Penglai Valley, how can you prove it?"

In truth, Ji Mochuan was already mostly convinced, since such beauty had never existed in the mortal world, and only the explanation of immortals could explain it.

"That's what we're going to prove, isn't it? Look, watch closely."

Liu Xingxing flipped her hand and made a hand seal, and steam immediately rose from her wet clothes. In a short while, her clothes were completely dry from head to toe, and her clothes were neat and her hair was back to its meticulous state.

After casting the spell, Liu Xingxing felt that the spiritual energy in her dantian was slightly lacking and did not automatically replenish itself as usual.

It seems she'll have to conserve her spiritual energy until she finds the boundary barrier, as the spiritual energy in this world is practically zero, making it impossible to absorb.

But the premise is that she knows absolutely nothing about this place. Looking at the person with a surprised and inexplicably excited expression, Liu Xingxing came up with another idea.

"Well, since you refer to yourself as 'this king,' you must be a prince of this dynasty. Does that mean you wield considerable power?"

"Of course, Immortal Liu wants to ask me for a favor?"

Seeing how Liu Xingxing had just cast the spell, Ji Mochuan had a plan in mind.

Since Heaven has sent him such a wonderful person, he naturally won't let her leave easily. It's like someone bringing you a pillow just as you're about to fall asleep.

"Um... could you tell me about the situation here? Anyway, I can't find my senior brother for a while. He loves the prosperity of the mortal world. If you tell me, maybe I'll get some clues."

"If we're talking about prosperity, what place in this world can compare to my Tianxing Kingdom..."

Ji Mochuan didn't do anything else and began to speak.

Liu Xingxing gradually learned what this world was like, and also learned that this guy's name was Ji Mochuan, and that he was the brother of the current emperor, Ji Mozhengyuan.

They also had three other brothers, who were each made kings, and several sisters, two of whom married, one of whom died, and a young one who lived in the palace.

I also learned that the Grand Preceptor was named Baili Shu, and that he wielded considerable power. The current emperor had been in power for seven or eight years and was in poor health.

The other princes were getting restless, including Ji Mochuan. Liu Xingxing gleaned a lot of meaning from his words, as well as some intentional or unintentional guidance.

What is he trying to do? Is he trying to get her help? Or is he after her abilities?

Please, they've only known each other for less than an hour!

If it weren't for the fact that she was unfamiliar with the place and needed to extract information, Liu Xingxing would have left immediately. If she weren't so clever, she would have been swayed by his words.

Moreover, she might even be able to use his power and influence to help her find clues about the realm, and it seems he wants to keep her here.

Realms aren't something you can just find anywhere, and during this time, there were people willing to provide her with food and drink, so she was happy to be at ease.

And so, the two hit it off immediately and began to work together, each with their own agenda.

On the surface, Liu Xingxing asked Ji Mochuan to help her find a non-existent senior brother, but in reality, she was subtly implying that she should reply to her if there was anything unusual.

Ji Mochuan was much more straightforward. He would help her on the condition that she help him deal with his brothers, preferably by ousting the Grand Preceptor so that she could take over. After all, the Grand Preceptor had declared himself to be the Emperor's man, and without his help, the Emperor would die within a few years.

Tsk tsk, the stench of power struggles within the imperial court.

Although the Tianxing Kingdom has always been ruled by the Jimo clan for thousands of years and has never fallen into the hands of someone with a different surname, it doesn't stop them from fighting to the death within their own lineage.

It wasn't until things were settled tactfully that Liu Xingxing was assigned a fine room in the Prince Xu's mansion. She looked in the mirror and realized that the illusion she had cast on her face had long since stopped working, but it didn't reveal Liu Jun's true appearance.

The illusion hadn't completely lost its effect on this face, giving it a surreal, dreamlike quality. It revealed a sliver of Liu Jun's features, combined with some mortal appearances and faces she had previously created. It was unbearably vulgar, a hodgepodge of elements that, surprisingly, looked quite good.

She was both innocent and alluring, like a fox spirit reincarnated, innocent yet cunning.

"Grass!"

At this moment, Liu Xingxing only had one sentence she didn't know whether she should say or not.

……

On the first day, Ji Mochuan took Liu Xingxing on a tour of his mansion and assets. Whenever they passed by someone, he would stare at her face intently, determined to find something interesting about her.

The next day, Liu Xingxing was greeted warmly by Ji Mochuan's followers in turn.

On the third day, which is today, a perfectly good dish almost landed on Liu Xingxing's head. Luckily, Liu Xingxing dodged quickly, and the person who was supposed to hit her lost their balance and fell over.

Liu Xingxing commented that women are truly terrifying, especially those with a "Sichuan" brain.

"First, I have a name, but I'm not called a vixen. Second, I have no relationship with Ji Mochuan. At most, we're just business partners. Stop making up all that nonsense. Third, if you don't control your rotten love affairs, I don't mind finding someone else to work with."

Looking at the person standing by watching from the sidelines, Liu Xingxing felt extremely uncomfortable and this wasn't the first time she couldn't help but take action directly.

"Also, wasting food is really shameful!"
