Chapter 307 Height, Appearance, and Identity Badge: All Wrong
Finally, she bent her legs slightly, making her two inches shorter.
The immortals were all dressed in flowing robes, so no one could see how she walked underneath her skirt; they simply assumed that she was naturally that tall.
After sending the City Lord a false message that Zhong Lingxin was still exchanging immortal stones, Zhong Lingxin quickly stepped into the teleportation array.
In a daze, Zhong Lingxin entered the city lord's mansion of Ascension City.
The city lord's mansion is extremely large.
When Zhong Lingxin came out of the teleportation array, she landed in an open space in the southwest corner of the city lord's mansion.
A sign stood in front of the open space, directing the ascending immortals to register in the main hall.
Following the signs, Zhong Lingxin walked all the way to the main hall of the city lord's mansion and came to the window with the words "Ascension Registration Office" written on it.
One of the immortals in charge of registration looked up at Zhong Lingxin and said coldly, "Identity badge."
Zhong Lingxin hurriedly handed over the identity plaque that Zhong Chun had refined.
The immortal in charge of registration placed Zhong Lingxin's identity plaque into a card slot.
The card slot reads the contents of the identity plaque: Wang Meili, Jingjiang Continent, soaked in the Immortal Washing Pool for three and a half days.
The immortal in charge of registration became even colder. He quickly completed the registration for Zhong Lingxin, handed her one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and mechanically said, "Wang Meili, you are now an immortal of our Ascension City. From today onwards, you must abide by the immortal rules of our Ascension City. Go to the window on the right, where you can receive one hundred low-grade immortal stones and a set of immortal robes. The immortal over there will tell you how to survive in the immortal realm from now on."
Zhong Lingxin nodded slightly, said nothing, and silently went to the window on the right.
She could see clearly that behind the Ascension Registration Office, there was a small house, and it seemed as if a divine sense was examining her from that house.
Perhaps it was because he saw her name tag that read Wang Meili that he stayed in the Xixianchi for three and a half days and then ignored her.
Zhong Lingxin pretended not to know and calmly went to the window on the right, where she obtained one hundred low-grade immortal stones and a set of immortal clothes, as well as a small booklet.
She quickly flipped through the booklet.
The booklet contained a survival guide for the immortals who had ascended to heaven.
The clearest explanation is that the ascended immortals can stay in the city lord's mansion for free for one month, after which they must leave the mansion and fend for themselves.
The path to immortality is simple: those with family and friends can seek refuge with relatives or friends, or they can be taken away by others.
Those without family or friends to rely on can work as laborers, guards, or in various shops in the city.
Those skilled in alchemy, talisman-making, and artifact formation can become apprentices in shops in the city. They earn more than the laborers who are immortals, and can also improve their skills, and so on…
The immortal who distributed the immortal stones was also thinking of earning some spirit stones from Zhong Lingxin, so he enthusiastically explained to her how to exchange them for immortal stones.
Zhong Lingxin thanked him, only saying that she had no more spirit stones, as she had spent them on pills and array plates when she ascended to immortality.
The immortal who was distributing the magic stones lost his enthusiasm immediately and casually told Zhong Lingxin that if she wanted to go out for a stroll, she could go out through the side gate on the left, and just remember to come back to stay overnight every night.
Ascension City is strictly managed, with a curfew at night. Wandering the streets at night is strictly prohibited, otherwise one will be whipped ten times and driven out of the city.
Zhong Lingxin thanked the immortal who distributed the immortal stones, then calmly turned to the left side gate, showed her identity badge to register, and slipped into the main street of Ascension City like a wisp of smoke.
As soon as she entered the street, she bought a map and followed it to the vicinity of the teleportation array.
The final teleportation is about to begin.
Zhong Lingxin spent a thousand low-grade immortal stones to board the teleportation array and was transported to the nearest immortal city.
Here, Zhong Lingxin put on makeup again, took the new identity badge made by Zhong Chunlian, and checked into an inn.
Not long after Zhong Lingxin left, Old Wang from the Ascension Pool wanted to send a message to Lord Wang, telling him that Zhong Lingxin had gone there and to catch her quickly.
However, after searching through his storage ring, he couldn't find his communication talisman.
He used his divine sense to sense that the communication talisman was not far ahead.
He thought that perhaps he had left the communication talisman on the ground right after communicating with the city lord.
He turned around and went back to look for it.
In fact, when he used his divine sense to sense the situation, it was precisely when Zhong Lingxin was communicating with Lord Wang.
By the time he realized he couldn't sense anything, Zhong Lingxin had already finished communicating and thrown his communication talisman into the Nine-Story Pagoda.
After Zhong Lingxin entered the city lord's mansion, completed all the formalities, and boarded the teleportation array to the next city, Old Wang hurriedly returned to the city lord's mansion.
Lord Wang was furious when he learned that Zhong Lingxin had slipped away right under his nose.
It must be that Wang Meili from earlier.
She was Zhong Lingxin in disguise!
damn it!
The height, appearance, and identity badge are all incorrect.
How could she be so cunning? How could she escape right under his nose?
The city lord urgently ordered the city to be sealed off.
It's a pity it's too late.
Zhong Lingxin had already entered Wuhe City under the name Mei Shuying.
Wuhe City has a slightly richer aura of immortality than Feisheng City, and it is also a small city on the edge of the immortal realm.
The town has a mild climate, which is suitable for the growth of immortal plants. Therefore, it is a distribution center for immortal plants from dozens of immortal cities in the surrounding area, and many immortals come to buy and sell immortal plants every day.
Many low-rank alchemists reside here, taking advantage of the abundance of immortal plants to learn alchemy.
After entering Wuhe City, Zhong Lingxin first stayed at an inn in the west of the city.
In the celestial realm, the cities are always divided into two categories: the east is noble, the south is rich, the west is poor, and the north is lowly.
Therefore, the inns in the west of the city are not expensive and the security is relatively better, making them Zhong Lingxin's best choice at the moment.
However, she did not plan to stay in the west of the city for long.
She knew in her heart that the Wang family would soon find out that she had come to Wuhe City.
What she needs to do right now is to buy some alchemy materials as soon as possible and give them to Zhong Chun to refine into pills.
She had thought it through clearly: refining weapons was too slow; if she wanted to accumulate immortal stones quickly, alchemy was the fastest way.
Fortunately, Zhong Chun, as a former master of weapon crafting, also had some knowledge of alchemy, so refining some first- or second-grade immortal pills was not a problem for him.
Zhong Lingxin took the list given to her by Zhong Chun and bought a batch of elixirs.
Both first-grade and second-grade are available.
The first-class one is practiced by himself.
The second-grade pill was given to Zhong Chuncheng.
Zhong Chun was extremely fast at refining pills. In just two days, she refined two hundred second-grade Immortal Essence Pills. In order not to attract attention, Zhong Lingxin did not sell the pills in Wuhe City. She quickly put on makeup, left Wuhe City, and went to Wuyuan City.
Wuyuan City is also a small city on the edge of the Immortal Realm, a small city with a large number of weapon refiners.
After entering Wuyuan City, Zhong Lingxin went directly to the South City and stayed in a slightly better inn.
Here, Zhong Lingxin felt a little more at ease, and she could focus on her cultivation.
Only by rapidly improving her cultivation level could she escape the Wang family's pursuit.
Just as she had expected, the Wang family tracked them down to Wuhe City.
They searched high and low in Wuhe City, but only found records of Zhong Lingxin buying elixirs; there were no records of her selling them.
This greatly relieved them.
