Blood Qi Merging Pseudo-Core at the Hundred Li Grand Market
Lu Zicong took the initiative to give in, and Gao Changgeng did not continue to be aggressive. After a few pleasantries, he turned around and left with his own Junior Sister.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful, why didn't they start a fight?
Therefore, I heard from Guardian Origin True Person before that Law Technique and Spirit Artifact of Eastern Domain are particularly powerful.
So he was just ready to watch a big show.
Since defeating Eastern Domain, he has not seen the local Golden Core cultivator fighting style with his own eyes, so it is not easy to evaluate his true combat power.
It's a pity that Lu Zicong slipped up at the critical moment and didn't even get angry when he was ridiculed on his own territory.
Although Alchemist's actual combat ability has always been weak, he has strong connections.
It's a pity that Xiao Chen looked at the other party like that. Although his face was a little worried, he didn't seem to have any intention of trying to make trouble.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame.
There is also a new Alchemist on the high platform for display, but the audience in the square suddenly decreased a lot.
Firstly, they had just seen a better one, and secondly, some disciples felt angry and left voluntarily.
Besides, if we calculate the time, the market in the afternoon should already be open.
So Xiao Chen followed the flow of people and went to East City.
In order to celebrate Sea Spirit Festival, a street was built here many years ago that leads directly to the outside of the city. It is thirty-six feet wide and can't be seen to the end at a glance.
It is said that the entire street is a hundred miles long.
The twenty miles inside the city are all kinds of shops, and the eighty miles outside the city are all the stalls set up by casual cultivators, known as Hundred Li Grand Market.
In addition to Sea Spirit Festival, it will also be used in other major celebrations such as the opening of the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm, which is a very famous landscape of Hundred Herbs Island.
Xiao Chen also heard various discussions along the way.
"Do you think there will be fights among casual cultivators this year over the stalls?"
"Definitely. No need to think about it. In the past three years, I have been beaten to death for those good positions near the city gate."
"I don't think so. Didn't it say that the city lord will add Patrol Team this year?"
Most of the people setting up stalls outside the city are Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and very few Golden Core appear.
Therefore, Xiao Chen is not very interested in the outside of the city. He is still planning to take a good look at the shops in the city first.
However, as soon as I entered the first house, I heard a series of exclamations, basically shouting that it was expensive.
He glanced at the Mid-Grade Magic Tool Flying Sword on hand, and was shocked to see the high price of one thousand six hundred Spirit Stone marked below.
Hiss~!
What is the concept of this price? If you add 400 Spirit Stone, you can buy a High-Grade Magic Sword of similar quality.
Besides, you must know that most of Qi Refining Cultivator are not rich.
I can't even get enough Spirit Stone to buy Foundation Establishment pills, so I don't have any spare money to spend on Flying Sword.
Of course, this does not mean that this Flying Sword has no benefits at all. It has reserved Spirit Stone slots, which can greatly save Law Power, and its power is also quite close to High-Grade Magic Tool.
Qi Refining Cultivator, who is not short of money, bought it, which is enough to beat one against ten monks at the same level.
The main function is to wear it on the body, which can effectively show the identity and background.
Identified as a luxury product.
Xiao Chen looked at Flying Sword with twinkling eyes.
Seeing the big from the small, Eastern Domain is indeed several times better than Southern Domain as rumored.
Although this Flying Sword seems to be nothing more than that to him, the concept of luxury goods itself represents something extraordinary.
In a place like Southern Domain where a piece of Spirit Stone can be broken into two halves, basically all monks are very concerned about cost-effectiveness when buying Law Artifact.
There is basically no market for all kinds of luxury goods.
That is to say, a few Golden Core True Person will order some Law Artifact as ornaments to decorate the facade.
However, here, such things are openly displayed in stores for sale.
Before, Xiao Chen went to the Ten Thousand Immortals Pavilion in the Xi Lai Kingdom, and it seems that Eastern Domain is not just like that, it does not have the prosperity as rumored.
Now it seems that it is just because Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance itself is an alliance of casual cultivators and specializes in serving all kinds of casual cultivators, so it looks relatively ordinary inside.
Now that we have arrived at a place of real wealth, we can understand what extreme luxury is.
High-Grade Magic Shield only looks better in appearance, but Spirit Stone charges an extra five hundred.
There is a top-grade Magic Robe that is only embroidered with a first-level orb engraved with Bright Light Art, so I dare to add an additional one thousand Spirit Stone.
Walk quickly to the second floor.
The first one to bear the brunt is a pair of Cloud Carved Peach Lingzhi Patterned Jade Belt, priced at 100,000 Spirit Stone.
There is also an introduction below, which states that this is a third-level spiritual ornament.
He also listed in detail a total of sixteen precious third-level materials used to make this jade belt, and invited several Artifact Refining Master to work together to create it.
But if Xiao Chen takes a closer look, the main function of this thing is--it looks good!
Then it also comes with some functional small Law Technique, such as Fire Avoidance Spell, Cold Avoidance Spell, Calming Spirit Technique, Dust Removal Technique... and so on, a total of twelve types.
The rest are as big and small as desired, permanent and undamaged, as warm and moist as grease, as brilliant as a mirror... etc., a total of seven characteristics of the jade belt itself.
Then it's gone.
According to Xiao Chen's understanding, the most useful thing here should be the permanent characteristic, which may be used as a soft whip.
Although there are a lot of other functions, they can only be described in four words - flashy.
If this thing is placed on Southern Domain and the price is 10,000 Spirit Stone, then this is robbery.
Fortunately, not everything is so outrageous.
In other words, the store may have intentionally placed this most gimmicky thing outside.
The rest of the things are much more normal.
For example, Youth Preservation Pill, which is said to help monks stay young forever after taking it once, has a price tag of 20,000 Spirit Stone.
For example, one of the characteristics of Eastern Domain, Portable Array Plate with third-level Defensive Formation Nine Apertures Interlocking Grand Formation, has a price tag of 240,000 Spirit Stone.
Another example is the Mystic Light Plated Cloud Spirit Shield that requires 60 True Yuan to drive. The Mystic Light Plated Cloud Spirit Shield with Spirit Ascension Form is priced at 320,000 yuan for Spirit Stone.
Although they are not cheap, they are much more practical in comparison.
Xiao Chen fell in love with that set of arrays. After all, he is now almost the same as a casual cultivator. He has no fellow practitioners to help warn him when he sleeps, and no one to protect him while he is practicing.
Although there is Night's Edge, you can't rely entirely on this trump card.
If you can place Defensive Formation in your resting place, you can effectively improve your own safety.
Then he visited many stores in succession.
I have seen all kinds of spiritual ornaments, Spirit Beast, Spirit Wine.
"Oh, White Jade Little Azure Dragon."
In a time-honored winery, Xiao Chen also saw this Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago specialty that can help condense the true essence.
As expected, the price is not too expensive. A small portion in a gourd only costs 300 Spirit Stone, and a full jar only costs 2,000 Spirit Stone.
He decisively asked for the eight altars. Anyway, now that he has Vast Sea Ring and Storage Space, he no longer has to worry about not being able to fit them.
After drinking these eight jars of wine, I guess I can almost touch Mid-stage Golden Core.
.
Speaking of which, Xiao Chen should now make plans in advance for Minor Bottleneck's problem.
If you don't want to be like other monks who spend many years in Early-stage Golden Core, you have to collect spiritual objects that can help you practice in advance.
There is a significant difference between the cultivation process of the Golden Core Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm.
That is, there is no nine minor realms, only four levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage and Great Perfection.
That's not always the case.
According to the records of Yellow Springs Secret Canon, by the Golden Core Realm, only Heaven-Grade Technique and part of Earth-grade Technique still retain the division of the nine-level small realm.
Of all the Xuan levels and Yellow-grade Technique, there are only four levels left.
The advantage of this is obvious, that is, there is no need to break through layer by layer.
As long as the monks practice step by step according to Cultivation Method, they can directly practice the current stage to perfection.
But there is also a problem, that is, the lack of layer-by-layer separation is equivalent to superimposing all the difficulty of breakthrough on the subsequent Minor Bottleneck.
Although it is not so exaggerated that it is difficult to break through, it can be slowly polished over time.
But generally speaking, monks are often held back by Minor Bottleneck for decades, or even one or two hundred years.
It is not uncommon to encounter unexpected situations along the way and be stuck for the rest of your life.
Xiao Chen, well, I don't have much hope for my invincible talent and amazing understanding.
He knew very well that if he wanted to break through quickly, it was best to prepare early.
I hope you won't have too bad luck this time when you go to the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.
In addition to Purple-Gold Bodhi, it is best to encounter a suitable third-order Wood Element Spiritual Material.
In addition, Eastern Domain has many Secret Realm.
In addition to the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm, which is about to open, there are many good places.
After that, you can't always practice behind closed doors, you should go out and walk more often.
Get to know a few comrades, inquire about this information, and take the initiative to fight for fortuitous opportunity.
"Hey, what is that?"
Just when he thought about practicing cultivation, Xiao Chen saw a six-foot-tall stone tablet out of the corner of his eye.
He leaned over and took a closer look, and found that this thing was quite big.
It is a sword monument left by the famous Silver-faced Lord of Fenshen Sword Pavilion four thousand years ago.
The several marks on it were all carved by the other party's own hands, including a part of Sword Intent.
If any Sword Cultivator can understand the Sword Intent in it, it will be of great help to your own practice.
However, although there are not many items left by True Lord and Sword Intent, they are not particularly few either.
Because of this, the price marked below this piece of Sword Tablet is not particularly expensive - 40,000 Spirit Stone.
"This is no coincidence."
Xiao Chen's eyes immediately lit up, what a good thing.
He had successfully created Wind Thunder Pair Swords Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism before, but unfortunately he lacked time and did not have any suitable spiritual objects at hand.
I have been putting it off until now and have not completed the ritual training.
Since I met Sword Tablet today, I definitely can't miss it.
I think it won't be long before I can have two more pieces of Spirit Artifact.
But when it comes to Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism, Xiao Chen thinks of his own Pseudo-Core.
After breaking through Golden Core, all the Law Power in the Dantian was transformed into true essence.
But the problem is that the original Pseudo-Core still stores Law Power, so it becomes almost useless in an instant.
The initial role of Pseudo-Core was to provide a direction for improvement for Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who had no hope of forming a pill.
The reason why the quantity of Southern Domain Pseudo-Core is so small is besides the cost issue.
It's also because many Heavenly Spirit Root good seedlings don't even think about Forming Pseudo-Core and waste time, and just rush straight to Golden Core.
"I almost forgot about the real thing."
Xiao Chen had already married Pseudo-Core, so naturally he couldn't bear to waste it like this. "It's just a big gathering today, so I'll go and find out if there is any solution."
Although he had not heard of the relevant method in Southern Domain, Eastern Domain is more developed and might be able to find a solution.
Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace.
For the dazzling array of things at the gathering, I just took a quick look at them and gained some knowledge, without going into details.
However, after visiting dozens of stores, I still couldn't find the relevant secret technique.
Even here at Eastern Domain, few people would study how Pseudo-Core can be promoted.
At the same time, during the search process, Xiao Chen also unexpectedly discovered that he saw almost no spiritual objects related to cultivation.
The quantity of spiritual materials similar to Scarlet Refinement Fire Marrow and Spirit Jewel Vermilion Bird Jade is visible to the naked eye.
It's not just these Top-grade Spirit Material that are missing, even the ordinary Third-Order Spirit Material.
Especially Tier 3 Spirit Grass, I haven't seen a single one.
Even the second-order Spirit Herb is very rare, and most of them are varieties with relatively special effects.
"Fellow Daoist, why didn't I see Spirit Herb in the store?"
If you don't understand, just ask. Xiao Chen was curious, so he went to a nearby Zhike and asked, "If I want to buy Tier 3 Spirit Grass, where should I go?"
The other party looked at him curiously. "Could the guest be Alchemist?"
"If you want to buy Spirit Herb to refine the elixir, you can go to the Hundred Herbs Hall opposite City Lord Manor."
"If the customer just needs elixirs, our store has common types. Some rare elixirs also support customization. Customers can discuss face-to-face with Alchemist in our store."
"No, thank you."
Xiao Chen waved his hand, turned and left.
Yes, this is Hundred Herbs City. Spirit Herb must have been used to refine Pill Formation medicine.
Unfortunately, I am still Alchemist, and I didn't even think of this at the first time. I usually don't pay much attention to this skill.
In fact, it's not that I don't pay attention to it, but that I really don't have enough time.
When you have some free time later, let's practice the formation and alchemy skills carefully.
Then after looking through the shops in the city, Pseudo-Core still couldn't find any way to advance.
It seems that there is little hope.
"We've all come this far, let's try our luck outside the city."
Under East City, Xiao Chen thought about it and decided to do his best first and then listen to fate.
Coming out of the city gate, the beautifully decorated shops disappeared and turned into street stalls one after another.
At the same time, there were shouts one after another.
"Come and take a look, Fire Refined Yellow Sand produced by the Yellow Sand Secret Realm is sold cheaply."
"Fellow Daoists, look over here. We have here all fine elixirs refined by Hundred Herbs City inner disciple. They are of high quality and low price, and they are of good quality."
"Stone Milk Dragon Saliva Incense, one piece only costs one hundred Spirit Stone. This opportunity is rare, don't miss it if you pass by!"
Although Spirit Herb is still not visible, in comparison, the number of various spiritual materials outside the city is obviously much larger.
And the prices are basically between tens to hundreds Spirit Stone.
Xiao Chen I walked around the city for more than an hour and saw thousands of things at every turn.
At this time, I suddenly saw hundreds of Spirit Stone things, and I actually felt that these things were very cheap.
He quickly shook his head and threw away these strange thoughts.
Then I continued to search for Secret Method.
.
"Hi~, I should have learned to refine weapons back then."
Looking along the way, Secret Method couldn't find it, but Xiao Chen saw a vast number of different categories of spiritual materials.
Perhaps in order to have their own characteristics and attract more customers, many stalls have made articles about spiritual materials.
Spirit Artifact is too expensive, the elixir requires connections, and Spirit Herb is not easy to save.
Only the unit price of spiritual materials is cheap, the acquisition channels are simple, and there are almost no requirements for storage conditions.
Anyway, these gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, jade and the like will not be damaged even after being stored for hundreds of years.
And the prices of these spiritual materials are very cheap, far lower than Southern Domain.
It can also be deduced from this that the overall number of weapon refiners in Eastern Domain should be quite large, after all, the cost of training is obviously much lower.
"There is no more Secret Manual. It seems like there is really no chance."
Walking to the end of Hundred Li Grand Market, Xiao Chen looked around and saw that there were no Secret Manual or Jade Slip stalls nearby.
It seems that the promotion of Pseudo-Core has to be put on hold for now.
Based on the principle of come what comes.
He planned to take a look at the remaining street stalls and take it as a break.
As a result, when I reached the last stall, I saw a figure hurried over next to me.
Before he could stand still, he took out a big red cloth from his arms, unfolded it and spread it on the ground with a "swish".
Then he quickly took out four stones and pressed them on the corners, setting up a new stall.
The movements are skillful, and it seems that this is not the first time he has done this.
The key is that it still looks familiar. If you take a closer look, it's the same Sword Child--Ling Tianyi who brought Ink Flood Dragon to earn Spirit Stone.
Why did he come here?
Xiao Chen suddenly became interested and walked over to see what he was going to sell.
"Hey, what does this Daoist friend want?"
Sensing that someone was coming, Ling Tianyi took something out from Storage Ring and greeted with a smile, "The stall has just opened. You are the first customer. No matter what you buy, I will give you a 10% discount."
Xiao Chen glanced at it and saw that most of what he took out were various spiritual materials.
Although there are two items that are relatively fresh, I don't use them myself.
So he shook his head. "No, I just came over to take a look."
He originally thought that the other party might be selling some special items, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
"Hey, don't bother me."
Ling Tianyi But he didn't want to let go of the successful customer. "Since you've come to the market, fellow Daoist, you must have something you want to buy, so you might as well tell me about it."
"We are destined to meet each other. Maybe what you want happens to be in my hands?"
He had just quickly looked at Xiao Chen.
Although he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, he has Vast Sea Ring on his finger, which means he obviously has a lot of money.
Such people generally only spend money in the city, and there will definitely be demand when they go outside.
Xiao Chen heard this, and his heart moved.
If ordinary people said this, he would definitely not believe it.
But I heard that Gao Changgeng say before that Ling Tianyi is the contemporary Sword Child of the Demon Subduing Sword Pavilion.
Then he should be able to come into contact with the Scripture Pavilion of the Demon Subduing Sword Pavilion. He is naturally well-informed and may actually have relevant experience.
So Xiao Chen sighed softly, "Oh, I have a friend who I married Pseudo-Core in the early years."
"Later, after breaking through Golden Core, I found that Pseudo-Core was useless, but I was reluctant to abandon Pseudo-Core."
"I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Ling Tianyi heard this and immediately smiled and said, "I see, this is not a coincidence, I really have a good idea here."
"Not only can Pseudo-Core be used properly, but there is also another mystery."
"What am I talking about? This is fate."
Huh?
You actually have a way?
Xiao Chen asked, "I don't know what to do? How many Spirit Stone are needed?"
I heard before that Demon Subduing Sword Pavilion is inherited from Ancient Times. It turns out that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There are countless Secret Methods in the door.
"This secret technique is not expensive to begin with. It only costs Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones. But..."
Ling Tianyi paused for a moment, and then changed the topic. "Fellow Daoist, I don't know, this Secret Method involves some secrets of my sect."
"Normally, it's not easy to spread the news."
This reason sounds like nonsense.
The translation is three words - you have to pay more!
Xiao Chen was a little speechless. "Fellow Daoist, you might as well say clearly, how many Spirit Stone are needed?"
Ling Tianyi heard this, his eyes flashed.
He wanted to offer a high price, but was hesitant.
The main reason is that he himself knows that although this Pseudo-Core promotion secret technique is indeed mysterious, it is very old.
Its origin has long been unknown, but it must be traced back to at least hundreds of thousands of years ago. It has two obvious flaws.
One is that it is expensive and requires a large amount of spiritual materials.
The second is that the training conditions are harsh. Either the monks must be no more than a hundred years old and are in their prime years of Qi and blood; or the monks must have Body Refining foundation and strong Qi and blood.
The reason why there are Qi and blood requirements is that this secret technique evolved based on the method of High Antiquity Body Cultivator Qi and blood holding elixir.
Ling Tianyi glanced at Xiao Chen in front of him.
The other party looks to be middle-aged, probably around 250 years old.
She has a thin body, white and tender palms, and she doesn't look like Body Cultivator.
If you sell it to the other party at a high price, it is almost equivalent to cheating money.
As for so-called friends, everyone understands them.
After hesitating for a while, Ling Tianyi took the initiative to explain the disadvantages.
Then he said, "If fellow Daoist don't mind these two shortcomings, I will sell this Secret Method as Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones."
"It's just that we agreed first. If we fail to practice in the end, we can't regret it."
"No problem." Xiao Chen nodded decisively. "I just need fellow Daoists to send Dao Heart Oath, and you can't intentionally conceal your inner thoughts Mnemonic."
Dao Heart Oath For ordinary monks, it may not be binding.
However, it is still very useful for Genius Cultivator, which is expected to be Nascent Soul Formation.
"Okay!"
Ling Tianyi agreed immediately, then swore an oath, then took out a blank Jade Slip and burned Secret Method into it.
Finally, he reminded, "This Jade Slip can only be read once before it will be damaged. Be sure to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment when using it."
Xiao Chen took out Spirit Stone to complete the transaction. "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for reminding me. I've written it down."
Secret Method is in hand, and Hundred Herbs City has been turned around in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
He returned directly to the inn courtyard and arranged Nine Apertures Interlocking Grand Formation according to the array diagram.
Then Jade Slip was activated, and immediately a message flowed into the sea of consciousness.
"Blending Qi and blood... holding the true sun..."
Not long after, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. "That's it, what an exquisite design!"
This Secret Method is named <Melt Yang into Core True Method>, which can almost be regarded as Breakthrough Secret Method of Body Cultivator.
Not only can it solve Pseudo-Core's problem, it can even help his Body Refining Cultivation to go one step further.
Although I originally had <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Art>, I still need some accumulation if I want to break through the third level in Body Refining.
But now that we have this secret technique, Qi and Blood can be just around the corner.
For the next half month, apart from sleeping, Xiao Chen spent all his time concentrating his energy and blood and practicing <Melt Yang into Core True Method>.
Even when eating, I would eat Sea Fish Meat raw and just eat Spirit Wine.
On the eighteenth day, I finally felt that my energy and blood were condensed and Yang Qi gathered all over my body.
The conditions for a breakthrough have been reached and you can start trying to close Pseudo-Core.
