Chapter 394 Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator
```
Cultivation knows no years, and before he realized it, Yu Qingtan had already been in closed-door cultivation for over a year.
In the year 7104 of the Lichuan Calendar, September, the twenty-year-old Yu Qingtan was a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, approaching the peak of this stage, with the divine sense of his individual clones covering a range of one hundred and fifty li.
Because over this year, Yu Qingtan's Affection Value had once again accumulated to thirty million, which allowed him to use all three Fifth Stage Cultivation Upgrade Cards from the system store, increasing his cultivation progress by nine million.
Additionally, with the aid of the Myriad Beasts Blood Pool, Yu Qingtan's body refinement cultivation had also broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage of body refinement; however, without upgrade cards available, it was just barely a breakthrough.
Even so, Yu Qingtan's Blue Star Dharma Aspect had strengthened by more than tenfold. Moreover, thanks to the Five Elements Primordial Immortal Body, Yu Qingtan had attained the second layer of understanding in the gold, wood, fire, and earth origins.
[Age: 20/3888]
[Spirit Root: Immortal-grade Five Elements Spirit Root]
[Cultivation Level: Nascent Soul Late Stage 9,000,000/10,000,000, body refinement Nascent Soul Late Stage 100,000/10,000,000]
Fully satisfied, Yu Qingtan closed the system interface and ended his seclusion.
After leaving the cultivation room, Yu Qingtan returned alone from Yueqing Immortal City to the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard of the Wendao Sect, only to find that nobody was around; they had likely all gone out to gain experience.
Yu Qingtan looked at the Five-Star Ascension Tree in the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, with more than a dozen small green fruits hanging on it.
Over the past year, Yu Qingtan had used the Five Elements Spiritual Pulp refined from the essence of the innate five elements to nourish the Five-Star Ascension Tree, and it had grown into a Fifth Stage spiritual plant.
These Fifth Stage Five-Star Ascension Fruits would take a few more years to mature, which would be of great benefit to Yu Qingtan's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation stage.
Nonetheless, the investment was also substantial. At present, in addition to the Five-Star Ascension Tree, maintaining "Love's Sharing" required spirit stones, and developing the Sect of Commoners and Tan Immortal Fan Club needed spirit stones, leaving Yu Qingtan's available resources exhausted by eighty percent.
Furthermore, in Yu Qingtan's system store, there was a Lifebound Artifact upgrade to a Middle-grade Dao Artifact card that required one hundred million Affection Value, and the current speed at which charm points and Affection Value were being harvested seemed too slow compared to this number.
All things considered, Yu Qingtan had more acts to carry out.
This time, Yu Qingtan chose the Eastern Region as his destination, partly because he had a grudge against the Dongyu Qian Family and was familiar with the Eastern Region, and partly because the circumstances in the Eastern Region were suitable for him.
The Eastern Region had two dominant forces, one being the Qian Family and the other the Eastern Branch of the All-World Academy. Additionally, there were over twenty forces at the Divine Transformation level, but typically each having no more than three cultivators at that stage.
Among them, the Eastern Branch of the All-World Academy was the strongest force in the Eastern Region, its sphere of influence covering almost half of the region's territory. The Qian Family occupied thirty percent of the remaining Eastern Region, the Demon Race ten percent, and the rest of the forces the remaining ten percent.

The goal of the All-World Academy was to spread the immortal laws throughout all nine domains of Lichuan and help all sentient beings understand the myriad paths to the Great Dao. As the birthplace of the All-World Academy, the Eastern Region was where it had achieved its most successful development.
In its heyday, the territories of the human race in the Eastern Region were all under the influence of the All-World Academy.
Regrettably, later on, the All-World Academy produced an exceptional genius with the surname Qian, who broke through to the late phase of Divine Transformation directly in the Outer Realm, and his strength far surpassed those of the same stage, making him invincible in the Outer Realm.
He betrayed the ideals of the All-World Academy, established the Dongyu Qian Family, and developed it to its current state.

After leaving Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, Yu Qingtan went to find Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun and Venerable Shenfeng to inform them of her plans to go out and experience the world, requesting that they send another Nascent Soul True Lord to take over her duties in the management of the Immortal City of Yueqing.
"Qing Tan, since you are planning to go out and gain experience, there happens to be a matter you could take care of," True Lord Kongbei said to Qing Tan.
"What matter?" Yu Qingtan asked in confusion.
"Qingying has gone missing, and her Soul Lamp has become very weak, indicating that she might be in danger. We were just preparing to send someone to investigate," True Lord Kongbei explained.
"What?! How could this happen?" Fairy Duan Qingying, currently a disciple of the Wendao Sect's Wood Vein, participated in the fighting competition between Wendao Sect and Extreme Path Demon Sect previously, and her relationship with Qing Tan had become quite close as a result.
"More than a month ago, Qingying accepted a mission to hunt members of the Sea Clan. The deadline was one month, but she has yet to return. Moreover, her Soul Lamp suddenly dimmed yesterday, but the specific circumstances are still unclear," True Lord Kongbei said with a frown.
"Where was her mission supposed to take place?" Yu Qingtan inquired.
"In the sea region near Haifeng Immortal City!" True Lord Kongbei replied. Haifeng Immortal City, situated near the Lichuan Inner Sea in the Southeast Region, lies at the border between the territories of Wendao Sect and Extreme Path Demon Sect. Because of its strategic location, neither sect has taken control; instead, it is occupied by several Nascent Soul Stage Loose Cultivators.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingtan felt a surge of shock.
Back when Fairy Qingying was at Qunfang Pavilion, Xing Ye, the second-ranked Loose Cultivator on the Pride of the Heavens List, pursued her. But he failed due to Yu Qingtan's interference, and when he left, he mentioned that if Qingying ever changed her mind, she could find him in Haifeng Immortal City.
"I understand. I will find Fairy Qingying!" Yu Qingtan promised earnestly.
After leaving Mount Wendao, Yu Qingtan sent her Innate Divine Power Shadow Clone to the Immortal City closest to Haifeng Immortal City where she had left a Soul Marking Seal, then hurried to her destination, arriving at Haifeng Immortal City within half a day.
Haifeng Immortal City, this bustling port metropolis, was exceptionally busy due to its special geographical location. Outside the city, various colored Escape Lights crisscrossed, like dazzling ribbons, showcasing the abundance and activity of the Cultivators here.
When Yu Qingtan arrived in the city, it was dusk. The setting sun's afterglow scattered upon the city walls, casting mottled light and shadows. Both above and below the city walls, teams of Cultivators patrolled vigilantly, their eyes sweeping the surroundings to ensure the peace of the city.@@novelbin@@
Yu Qingtan concealed her aura, disguised herself using the Reincarnation Mantra as an ordinary female Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, and entered the city. Shops lined the streets on both sides, selling all sorts of rare spirit herbs, Magical Treasures, and elixirs, attracting the attention of the passing Cultivators.
Then, Yu Qingtan made her way to a property agency, demonstrating the fluctuation of spiritual power at the Late Stage of the Golden Core, signaling her intention to buy a house.
The property manager at the Foundation Establishment Stage was very enthusiastic in showing Yu Qingtan around, treating her as an important customer.
Yu Qingtan indeed wanted to buy a house; in every new Immortal City she visited, she would purchase a property and leave her Soul Marking Seal there—it was almost a habit for her now.
"A Liang, do you know of Xing Ye?" Yu Qingtan casually inquired of the manager, named A Liang, during the purchasing process. She had an intuition that Fairy Qingying's disappearance might be related to this Xing Ye.
"Young Master Xing? Of course, I know of him; he is the pride of our Haifeng Immortal City. He was the second on the last Pride of the Heavens List, a favored disciple of the Second City Lord, Venerable Yuyu. Unfortunately, he exceeded the age limit of thirty this year and withdrew from the rankings.
Senior, did you come to Haifeng Immortal City specifically for Young Master Xing?" A Liang looked at Yu Qingtan somewhat gossipy.
"No, it's just that I've met him before and heard that he's from this city, so I asked. Is he here in the city now?" Yu Qingtan asked with a hint of "embarrassment."
