Ten Thousand Grass Hall
The Wind-Thunder Layers separating the nine heavens of the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm are extremely thick and distant, and pose a certain degree of danger, especially the Wind-Thunder Layers between the seventh, eighth, and ninth heavens. Although they pose little danger to Yang Tianyou, crossing them would take a considerable amount of time, making it more convenient to use Teleportation Formation.
To facilitate communication across the Nine Heavens, the Three Great Imperial Dynasties established over a dozen Teleportation Formation in each of their Dao cities, allowing direct teleportation to any of the First Heavens. The cost of using these Teleportation Formation was not exorbitant, as they were primarily intended for cultivators at the Void Refinement or higher, rather than those at the Sage Manifestation, Spirit Transformation, or even Nascent Soul and Golden Core Level. For these mid- to Low-Rank Cultivators, traversing the Wind-Thunder Layer was fraught with danger, making the Teleportation Formation far more cost-effective.
The area in front of the Teleportation Formation was bustling with activity, as many cultivators waited there. The Teleportation Formation would only be activated once a certain number of cultivators had gathered.
Yang Tianyou disguised himself as a Void Refinement cultivator and obediently waited in line.
There were no Formations in front of the Teleportation Formation to check your cultivation level, nor did they ask about your identity. As long as you paid, you could ride it.
Of course, Devil Cultivators are a different story. There are special Formations here to detect Devil Qi. Once it is found that the Devil Qi contained in a cultivator has reached a certain limit, guards will come to inquire about the situation.
It doesn't necessarily mean shouting for violence. If someone has only slightly cultivated Devil Cultivation Method but hasn't committed heinous crimes, or if they only have strong Devil Qi because they were injured by Demon Dao Divine Ability, their case will be simply recorded and they will be released.
And so, time passed slowly as they waited. After about half a month, the group was complete, and all the cultivators stepped onto the Teleportation Formation. As spatial Array Mark appeared, a beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through a huge spatial vortex in the air before disappearing into the Unseen.
Eighth Heaven, Zhélóng City, is the largest and most prosperous city under the under the Zhélóng Dao Sect that Tribulation Transcendence.
The Zhélóng Dao Sect is not like the Huchen Sect or the Wushang Hall, which are at the bottom of the Tribulation Transcendence forces. It has as many as eight tribulation -Bandit Cultivators within its sect, two of whom are great cultivators who have undergone Tribulation Transcendence twice. And this is only what is on the surface. There must be more hidden trump cards. This is the consistent style of major forces.
At the bottom of the Tribulation Transcendence level, sects like Huchen Sect and Wushang Hall would immediately hold a grand celebration for each new Bandit Cultivator to highlight their strength and increase their influence. However, the Zhélóng Dao Sect had long since passed this stage and had begun to develop in a mysterious and unpredictable direction.
A flash of teleportation light appeared, and cultivators with various expressions appeared on the teleportation platform. Guided by disciples arranged by the Zhélóng Dao Sect, they walked down the Teleportation Formation one after another. Yang Tianyou followed the flow of people and arrived at the central street of Zhélóng Dao City.
On both sides of the exceptionally wide road, shops lined the streets, each one gleaming with dazzling light, creating a magnificent and prosperous scene.
Yang Tianyou casually walked into a shop selling spirit medicine. A friendly servant greeted him and asked what kind of spirit medicine he wanted to buy. Yang Tianyou named several commonly used spirit medicine and some rare and special spirit medicine, and then asked the servant about their prices.
He wasn't there to sell the spirit medicine he obtained from the Wushang Hall; rather, he wanted to conduct market research to understand the general price range of spirit medicine in the Eighth Heaven, so he wouldn't be scammed.
The servant was quite forthcoming, rambling on and on. Yang Tianyou nodded in satisfaction and tossed him an Upper-Grade Spirit Stone before leaving.
Yang Tianyou wandered through the streets and alleys of Zhélóng Dao City, visiting various shops, and quickly figured out the price difference between Eighth Heaven and Seventh Heaven spirit medicines.
In the high-end spirit medicine market, the Eighth Heaven is cheaper. After all, the Spiritual Qi here is more concentrated, and the essence of heaven and earth is more abundant, which is conducive to the growth of spirit medicine. In addition, there are more and stronger powerful forces in the Eighth Heaven, and the corresponding cultivation techniques are more complete and refined. Overall, the supply of high-end spirit medicine is more abundant, so the price will be slightly lower than that of the Seventh Heaven, and the variety will also be more complete.
Of course, this low price is quite limited. After all, there are many experts at the Eighth Heaven, and their consumption is also greater. The real price difference between high-end spirit medicines and those at the Seventh Heaven is significant at the ninth level.
However, the Nine Heavens are very particular about status. If you don't have enough status or connections, they simply won't sell you spirit medicines, and you'll be ripped off when it comes to selling spirit medicine.
Overall, the spirit medicine market in the Eighth Heaven is the best for small and medium-sized forces and Rogue Cultivators. That is why Yang Tianyou chose this place as the region for selling spirit medicines.
After getting a general understanding of the spirit medicine market in Zhélóng Dao City, Yang Tianyou left and flew southeast in his Escape Light.
There are many forces in the Eighth Heaven that are proficient in cultivating spirit medicine, but if you ask the leader, anyone with a little knowledge will name it Ten Thousand Grass Hall!
With a history spanning 800,000 years, it has been presided over by grandmasters of Spirit Plants in every generation, maintaining a leading position in the spirit medicine industry for hundreds of thousands of years.
They are among the few major powers in the Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm capable of mass-producing Ninth-Tribulation Heavenly Thunder Flowers, which gives you an idea of how terrifying such a power is.
The Eight Great Mountain Estates under the Ten Thousand Grass Hall are also the most frequent trading areas for spirit medicine and Pills in the Eighth Heaven and even the entire Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm. Relying on their abundant spirit medicine resources, they have attracted countless Alchemists to settle here.
When all advantages are combined, economies of scale are created, Pills here are not only more complete in variety, but also cheaper and easier to buy.
The spirit medicine in Yang Tianyou's hands might be conspicuous in other areas, but in the Eight Great Mountain Estates, they wouldn't cause much of a stir. After selling the spirit medicine, he could also conveniently purchase some Pills.
The location of the Ten Thousand Grass Hall Mountain Gate is an extremely exquisite and rare feng shui layout.
Named "Ten Thousand Trees Bring Spring Nine Suns Configuration," it centers on the main mountain gate, with Eight Great Mountain Estates as its suppression, and nine Ninth-Tier Spirit Veins as its foundation. It draws upon the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon to generate the spiritual Spiritual Qi of ten thousand trees. This is a Spiritual Qi of extremely high quality, especially beneficial to the growth of Spirit Plants. It not only promotes their growth but also produces a Bloodline Metamorphosis effect, turning decay into wonder. The fact that Ten Thousand Grass Hall has been able to thrive for so many years and maintain its leading position in the spirit medicine industry is not only due to its extensive network of connections and inherent strength but also largely thanks to the "Ten Thousand Trees Bring Spring Nine Suns Configuration." It has been coveted by countless powerful forces.
As they approached the Eight Great Mountain Estates, the number of Escape Light in the Firmament gradually increased, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
Yang Tianyou's senses were even more acute. He noticed that as they approached the heart of the Ten Thousand Grass Hall, the Spiritual Qi energy permeating the world became more active and gentle, full of vitality, giving people an extremely warm and comfortable feeling. Cultivating here would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.
"If only we could take over this place..." Yang Tianyou had the same thought that other powerful figures would have when they first came to the Ten Thousand Grass Hall.
But as he looked up, a bright sun came into view.
It shines with golden light, illuminating the world, and appears warm, but in reality, it contains an extremely terrifying power.
"This is... the Nine-Ring Immortal Sun!"
