"Senior, would you like a guide? One low-grade Spirit Stone per day is all you need!"
Just as they stepped into the area covered by the fourth-order grand formation of the Ascension Immortal City, a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old swept over.
This person's aura is around the Early Stage of Qi Refining. There are many guides around her soliciting business, all of whom are teenagers around seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Do you have a map of the Immortal City here?" Fang Yu asked directly.
"Yes!" the girl said, taking out a Jade Slip. "It only requires one low-grade Spirit Stone. If you hire me as your guide, this map will be yours!"
Fang Yu took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense, immediately sensing the layout of the entire Ascension Immortal City.
This immortal city is divided into four Spirit Vein: a fourth-level core area, a third-level Golden Core area, a second-level Foundation Establishment area, all based on the pathways of the fourth-level Qi Refining. Each area is marked with a different color.
The different levels of regions are not completely separate; rather, they are intertwined. For example, a mountain range next to a third-level Golden Core cave abode might be a first-level region.
Fang Yu's gaze then fell on the area marked ' Heavenly Market '. "Are you familiar with Heavenly Market?"
The girl immediately replied, "I grew up near Heavenly Market and know the area very well. Whatever you want to buy, I can find you the cheapest and best shop."
Fang Yu lightly raised his hand, and a small boat appeared. "Come on up and show me the way!"
"Okay!" The girl boarded the ship with delight, then formed hand seals and cast Law Technique. A pale blue bird gathered and flew forward, leaving a faint trail of light in its wake. "Senior, just follow Little Blue!"
Fang Yu's mind raced, and the flying boat gave chase. "What's your name?"
"Just call me Jixiang, senior!"
"Hmm!" Fang Yu knew it was a code name as soon as he heard it. "Give me a detailed introduction to the Immortal City!"
"Alright!" Jixiang introduced, "Ascension Immortal City was built by the Ascension Immortal Sect. It's less than 300,000 li away from the Ascension Immortal Sect's mountain gate. True Disciple of the sect often come to the city's Heavenly Market to purchase various spiritual items. Sometimes, treasures from within the sect are also transported out."
Just a couple of years ago, a Law Treasure discarded by a True Disciple was put up for sale in the Immortal City and sold for a sky-high price of ten million mid-grade Spirit Stone... The fourth-tier area within the city is the place where the city's Nascent Soul Ancestor ' He Qianshan ' and his disciples cultivate in seclusion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Although outsiders are not strictly prohibited from entering the residence of a third-tier Golden Core cultivator, there are many and strict Law Enforcement Team there. Anyone flying even a little high will attract the Law Enforcement Team.
The second and first tier areas are quite lively, and the Law Enforcement Team aren't as strict. Each area basically has its own small market, so unless you're buying rare spiritual items or Law Artifact, you generally don't need to go to the Heavenly Market...
Fang Yu listened to Jixiang's introduction, occasionally asking a few questions, and soon he had a fairly good understanding of the basic situation of the Ascension Immortal City.
This Ascension Immortal City covers an area of a thousand miles, which is exactly the limit of the Nascent Soul stage monster's Divine Sense. Most of its area is formed by residential areas around three-tiered Spirit Vein.
Cultivators entering the city can directly rent or buy cave abode in various areas. The better the location of the cave abode and the more abundant the Spiritual Qi, the more expensive it is. A second-tier cave abode can easily cost millions of first-tier Spirit Stone. However, renting is much cheaper.
The Heavenly Market is located in the central area of the Immortal City, about 500 miles away. After Fang Yu finished asking his questions, he arrived at the Heavenly Market.
"Senior, please look. That Jun Mountain Tower over there is run by the Junshan Merchant Alliance. Whatever you want to buy, you can buy it there, and the quality is guaranteed. However, the prices are relatively much higher."
"Really?" Fang Yu glanced at a shop on the side of the street and casually asked, "Can you buy fourth-tier spirit items there?"
"Fourth tier!" Jixiang immediately shook his head and said, "Fourth tier Nascent Soul level spiritual items are naturally unavailable for purchase. How could such heaven and earth spiritual items circulate? Even the most prestigious auction houses don't have them."
"Oh!" Fang Yu was slightly disappointed, but upon reflection, it was normal that it hadn't spread. After all, the Ascension Immortal City only had one Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. If a fourth-tier spiritual object appeared, it would definitely attract other Nascent Soul cultivators. They were all at the same cultivation level, so how could they be suppressed? Even if it really existed, Ji Jixiang was just a guide at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, so how could he possibly know about it?
"Come on, take me inside and have a look around!"
Guided by Jixiang, Fang Yu entered Jun Mountain Tower, strolled around for a while, chatted with the receptionist, and learned about the general products and services offered. He then took the 'Treasure Catalog' and left, before moving on to the next shop.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye as he strolled around, and Fang Yu had visited almost all the shops in the Heavenly Market. His Storage Bag was now filled with a large stack of various 'treasure catalogs', ' Spirit medicine catalogs', 'immortal material catalogs', ' Cultivation Method catalogs', and so on.
"Let's call it a day!" Fang Yu said, waving his hand and taking out thirty-three low-grade Spirit Stone to give to Jixiang.
"Thank you so much, senior!" Jixiang happily put away the Spirit Stone. "Senior, if you ever need my Jixiang in the future, please feel free to call me anytime!"
After sending Jixiang away, Fang Yu found a broker in the Heavenly Market and rented a third-tier cave abode, settling down temporarily in the city.
The cave abode dwelling is located on a third-order Spirit Vein and is called Spirit Yue Residence. It is a three-courtyard complex with a large space, and he has no problem living there by himself.
After tidying up the courtyard, Fang Yu took out his tea table, brewed a pot of tea, and carefully examined the catalogs from various shops in Heavenly Market while drinking it.
These booklets contain a wide variety of treasures, basically everything imaginable, from Cultivation Method and Law Treasure to spiritual materials.
Fang Yu watched while making plans in his mind.
Now that he has advanced to the Golden Core Early Stage, he needs a Fire Element Cultivation Method that can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm stage. There are many choices for this Cultivation Method; most of the Cultivation Method sold in various shops can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and there are quite a few that are suitable for Cultivation Method.
The next step is to refine his natal magic Law Treasure. He is still using the ' Flowing Flame True Fire Sword ' and the ' Sun Gold Wheel '. Although these two have been nurtured within the Yuanchen Pearl and their quality has reached the peak of Spirit Artifact, they are still Spirit Artifact and not Law Treasure. Using them now is somewhat unworthy of his Golden Core status. Therefore, he needs to tailor-make a set of natal magic Law Treasure for himself, and they should be the kind that can grow, so that he won't have to change them when he advances to the Nascent Soul.
Another issue is the inheritance of fourth-tier cultivation techniques, which is a bit troublesome. Surprisingly, not a single merchant in the entire Heavenly Market sells any related inheritances. He had also made some inquiries indirectly...
There are no fourth-tier 'Danfu Array Artifact' Grandmaster residing in this city; one can only come into contact with such top-tier fourth-tier skill cultivators within the Ascension Immortal Sect.
