The forces dominating the world were quite formal.
Apart from tokens, there were also unified profound-tier robes.
The greater the reputation of a force, the fewer people dared to provoke it.
For instance, among the top ten forces, only they dared to engage in combat with each other.
Members of other forces were advised to steer clear when encountering them.
After registering, the four received the "newcomer gift pack" from the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion.
In addition to ten mystic crystals, it included a uniform and a jade slip.
This jade slip contained the rules of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion, as well as the distribution of forces in the dominant world.
This city was called Reception City, and warriors from all realms entered through it.
There were many teleportation arrays in this city, which could send people to the territories of their chosen forces.
However, these teleportation arrays required mystic crystals to use.
Each use cost five mystic crystals.
Five mystic crystals might not sound like much, but in reality, it was extremely expensive.
Joining the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion only granted ten, which showed how precious mystic crystals were.
"Do we take the teleportation array or fly there ourselves?"
"According to the map, it will take at least three months to fly to the territory of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion," Long Zhu asked.
"Let's take the teleportation array."
"To reach the territory of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion, we'll have to pass through the domains of at least three forces."
"If these forces happen to have grudges against the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion, our situation will be very dangerous," Baili Laozu said.
"Yes, for safety's sake, let's not worry about these five mystic crystals," Axiang also agreed.
Having reached a consensus, the four went to the nearest teleportation array together.
Each person paid five mystic crystals, and they vanished into the teleportation array.
When they opened their eyes again, the four had arrived at the city of the Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion.
After identity verification, the four were permitted to enter the city.
Fortunately, the city accepted original stone cards for accommodation payments.
If accommodation also required mystic crystals, the remaining mystic crystals for the four of them would likely not last more than a few days.
Qin Hanchu and Axiang were married, so they shared a room.
Sitting on a stool in the room, Qin Hanchu asked, "Is your immortal treasure far from here?"
"It's not far, but I can't go there now."
Qin Hanchu was puzzled, "Why?"
"My resources are hidden beneath the ground of this Ancient Dao City."
"And the passage to enter is in the back garden of the City Lord's mansion."
"There are several immortal and divine powerhouses in the City Lord's mansion, and it's impossible for us to enter under their surveillance."
"We need to wait for the right opportunity to retrieve the immortal treasure."
After Axiang's explanation, Qin Hanchu exclaimed, "You hid it beneath the City Lord's mansion? That's truly a case of the most dangerous place being the safest."
"I was severely injured at the time and had to take a risky approach," Axiang sighed. "It's precisely because it was hidden beneath the City Lord's mansion that I had enough time to reincarnate."
"Let's not think about that for now. Let's sleep," Qin Hanchu got up and walked behind Axiang, then hugged her waist.
"What do you want to do?" Axiang asked shyly.
Qin Hanchu kissed Axiang's cheek and smiled, "Of course, I want to do something meaningful."
"No," Axiang huffed.
Qin Hanchu bent down, picked Axiang up, and walked towards the bed. "You say no, but your body is honest."
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you."
...
When they woke up, it was already the next morning.
The four changed into their Ancient Dao Immortal Pavilion attire and left the inn.
"Let's first see what missions are available and earn some mystic crystals to buy immortal artifacts."
"Without immortal artifacts, our strength will be much weaker."
Axiang and the other two had their immortal artifacts left in their immortal treasures.
Now, they could only earn mystic crystals to repurchase them.
Among the four, only Qin Hanchu possessed an immortal artifact.
However, Qin Hanchu's immortal artifact could not be used casually.
The Mu Qing Sword was a top-tier immortal artifact, and revealing it could easily attract trouble.
"Can I exchange immortal artifacts of the Mad Thunder Law for immortal artifacts of other attributes?"
"I have six useless Mad Thunder immortal artifacts and over ten Five Elements Law immortal artifacts."
Qin Hanchu and the other three had already signed a dao oath contract.
They were essentially on the same boat.
Enhancing their strength meant enhancing their chances of survival.
Because of this, Qin Hanchu was willing to offer his useless immortal artifacts to help them exchange for immortal artifacts.
"You can ask at the Ancient Dao Treasure Pavilion. I don't know if they have suitable immortal artifacts," Axiang said.
The four of them went to the Ancient Dao Treasure Pavilion together and walked inside.
As soon as they entered, a salesperson greeted them, "What do you need, sirs?"
Qin Hanchu got straight to the point, "I have a few immortal artifacts that I don't need. Can I exchange them for immortal artifacts of other laws?"
"What level and law are your immortal artifacts? And what laws do you wish to exchange for?"
Qin Hanchu replied, "One mid-tier Mad Thunder Law immortal artifact and several low-tier Mad Thunder immortal artifacts, as well as Five Elements immortal artifacts. I wish to exchange them for three Reincarnation Law immortal artifacts and one Life and Death Law immortal artifact."
"The store has one mid-tier Reincarnation Law immortal artifact, but it requires you to exchange it for one mid-tier Mad Thunder immortal artifact and one low-tier Five Elements immortal artifact."
"Besides that, low-tier Life and Death immortal artifacts and low-tier Reincarnation immortal artifacts are exchanged at a one-to-two ratio."
Ordinary Mad Thunder Laws were only one level stronger than Five Elements Laws, making them one level lower than Reincarnation and Life and Death Laws.
This was why the exchange was at a one-to-two ratio.
"One Mad Thunder immortal artifact along with one Five Elements immortal artifact?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Yes," the salesperson nodded.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hanchu directly took out the immortal artifacts from the Thunder Immortal Hall.
First, a mid-tier Mad Thunder Law immortal saber, along with a metal-attributed immortal artifact.
Receiving these two immortal artifacts, the salesperson went into the back hall and brought out a mid-tier Reincarnation Immortal Disk.
After receiving the immortal disk, Qin Hanchu directly gave it to Axiang.
Long Zhu and Baili Laozu could understand, after all, Qin Hanchu and Axiang were married, and good things naturally went to his wife.
Next, Qin Hanchu took out three low-tier Mad Thunder immortal artifacts and three Five Elements immortal artifacts.
Receiving these six immortal artifacts, the salesperson returned to the back and brought out three more immortal artifacts.
These included a Life and Death immortal sword and two Reincarnation Disks.
Although there were other immortal artifacts of the Reincarnation Law, the Reincarnation Disk was the most common and suitable Reincarnation Law immortal artifact.
With this low-tier Life and Death immortal sword, Qin Hanchu finally had a usable immortal artifact.
After putting away the Life and Death immortal sword, Qin Hanchu gave the two Reincarnation Disks to Long Zhu and Baili Laozu.
"I'll repay you later," Long Zhu accepted the immortal artifact and said without politeness.
"Just give me some good stuff when you get your immortal treasures," Qin Hanchu said jokingly.
"Let's go accept missions now and earn some mystic crystals to tide us over," Baili Laozu said.
Qin Hanchu transmitted his thoughts, "Can we kill people and steal their treasures here?"
"Yes, but the risk factor is too high."
"It's better to focus on missions. If a suitable opportunity arises, then we can act," Long Zhu said.
