Ninebind City was located on the eastern end of Nadir Hill, close to the border. It was at the intersection of many roads and was in a prime strategic area.

But this was only true for mortals. In the eyes of Immortals, this place's open terrain was sparse in spiritual energy, and in this lacking environment, no natural treasures could form, let alone some Immortal mountain to occupy. Thus, there was little meaning in this area, and while there was a big city here, that was because of mortals. To Immortals, this puny piece of ground was far out-valued by a place like Cloudscrape City.

Every year, cultivators would come here seeking pills and herbs, and on occasion, decent medicines would pop up. It was a place that wasn't too valuable, but where one could occasionally be pleasantly surprised.

The Five Energies Sovereign Essence Pill was one of these pleasant surprises.

Tang Jie's recent activities had made it so that the inspection in places all across Nadir Hill had tightened.

But this level of inspection was useless on Tang Jie, though it managed to catch a lot of smaller fish.

There were two cultivators that specialized in Insight on the walls of Ninebind City, but alas, Ninebind City was of too little value in the eyes of cultivators, so these two were of average strength. Their spiritual light scanned Tang Jie but found nothing. The guards at the gate finished their inspection and let Tang Jie through.

Once they were inside the city, Old Fourth Liu, who was behind Tang Jie, walked up and said, "I still think…"

"Shh!" Tang Jie raised a finger.

Old Fourth Liu immediately dropped his head and fell silent.

The two walked for a while before Tang Jie said, "We can talk now."
