Chapter 5: The Market

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Just as he was about to leave the Qingzhu Mountain market, a sudden commotion erupted in the street

Even so, Fang Xi caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and saw the 'Little Thunder Talisman' located right in the center, surrounded as if by a host of stars encircling the moon

Unfortunately, other traversers are all thriving between two worlds, living in such comfort and ease. How did I end up in this situation?

However, the price of elixirs is generally higher than that of talismans

In that case, let's add one more low-grade 'Golden Light Shield Talisman'

However, as long as there are top-tier cultivation techniques, combined with the power of elixirs, it is highly likely to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within five to ten years

Upon arriving at the entrance of the market, Fang Xi saw a layer of faint white mist. This was the protective formation of the market, which was said to be able to withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators for a considerable period of time

Foundation Spirit Object

Immediately, the commotion seemed to spread contagiously, continuously radiating outward in all directions

The talisman master sighed

At least ... ... I must wait until the late stage of Qi Refinement, no, at least the mid-stage of Qi Refinement ... ...

Alas, isn't this... another pregnancy at home!

Fang Xi curled her lips in disdain

Vivid and varied, they are numerous and diverse

The innate spiritual root is not particularly outstanding, merely of a low-grade wood attribute. The cultivation method practiced is also a common one, the Changchun Formula. Even after another sixty years, it may not be possible to reach the perfected stage of Qi Refinement, making it impossible to break through the foundational barrier.

He glanced at the various stalls and began to trade the stone dragon and other materials he had accumulated during this period

The talisman master shook his head, harboring unspoken doubts in his heart, yet as cultivators place great importance on privacy, he did not voice his questions

Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through their spiritual roots, enabling them to perform various incredible feats; however, they face considerable difficulties in having offspring

Brother Liu, let me tell you, such a well-preserved stone dragon is truly not expensive... Moreover, this spiritual and literary grass of mine was almost found after running out of breath...

Fang Xi has always been very cautious in dealing with trade between the two realms

Standing in front of a stall selling elixirs, Fang Xi's footsteps seemed to take root.

Carrying a negative sword, shouldering a wine-red gourd, accompanied by spiritual birds, riding on a demon beast

Given the concentration of spiritual energy in that place, it is fundamentally impossible to make significant progress in cultivation techniques, let alone to break through to a higher realm

This is a couple's stall, and on the less than half a meter wide table, various types of talismans are displayed.

On the main road, scattered cultivators passed by.

What? A small secret realm has been discovered in Ziyou Mountain, suspected to be the relics of an immortal cultivator? Cultivators have already brought out ancient cultivation techniques and foundational spiritual objects from it?

By now, his perspective on issues has become more profound

It is a bottle of 'Earth Fire Evil Qi'! It is of great use for breaking through the barriers of vital energy and blood. The male cultivator murmured with a face full of longing and desire

The former Fang Xi stood there for a long time, unable to regain her composure upon witnessing this scene, and was mocked as a country bumpkin

It has long been rumored in the cultivation world that after the age of sixty, the probability of a cultivator establishing their foundation will significantly decrease

Only after confirming that I could barely protect myself in the Great Liang did I feel at ease to slightly reveal some aspects of the cultivation world

The talisman master appears to be around thirty years old, with a tall and stout build, fair complexion, and two small mustaches. He has a very friendly smile, resembling a businessman in the secular world

The tragic experiences of a middle-aged man in his previous life vividly manifest in the figure of the talisman master, even leading him to feel that the other's head of hair shows signs of premature balding.

Fang Xi paused his steps slightly and immediately heard a piece of news from the mouth of a nearby cultivator

Although this talisman can withstand one or two spell attacks at the early stage of Qi Refinement in the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is not so simple in the Great Liang World

Ancient Martial Arts

However, in the realm of cultivation, he did not dare to reveal any extraordinary abilities

Fang Xi has always been cautious and meticulous in handling matters, and after obtaining an extraordinary opportunity, he has become even more so

"The master of the sect, has the price dropped again?" Fang Xi's eyes lit up, resembling a bargain-hunting aunt from a past life

After trading several talismans, he asked again: "Do you still want the Ice Talisman? I can give you a better price, three spirit crystals for one..."

It is preferable to avoid conflicts, to cultivate steadily and smoothly until reaching the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages... Who in their right mind would want to engage in life-and-death battles over magical powers

He did not dare to be negligent and took out a bamboo plaque, on which the identity information of the spiritual farmer was recorded

Fang Xi's face showed a look of embarrassment: "I wonder if it could be a bit cheaper?"

Fang Xi nodded and said: "Give me a few more 'amulets'..."

What is a foundational spiritual object?

Qingzhushan Fangshi is named after 'Qingzhuh', and most of the buildings are stilt houses made of the fine material Qingzhuh.

The world of cultivation is such that low-level loose cultivators may lead a life of mediocrity, and may not necessarily even touch the fringes of foundation establishment

This couple, with the woman handling the talisman papers and the man drawing the talismans, has been living quite comfortably thanks to their affordable and high-quality offerings. However, recently, it seems they have encountered some issues, as the pressure from the spiritual stones has noticeably increased.

However, it seems that the local Qi and blood martial arts do not tend to have a long lifespan

Let us go, let us go; continuing to look only adds to the sorrow

Fang Xi responded with equal pain.

"Where can one find the Foundation Establishment Pill in ancient times?" A scholar nearby chuckled softly, "The people of today may not be inferior to those of ancient times. This Foundation Establishment Pill, crafted by Master Shutong, the foremost alchemist of the past thousand years, is the premier spiritual pill for Foundation Establishment. It harmonizes the three barriers of Foundation Establishment as one, and can be broken through in a day or night... It can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by a full thirty percent!"

In the end, he successfully obtained the 'Minor Thunder Talisman', which is comparable to a strike from a mid-stage Qi Refinement expert, along with several low-grade talismans.

Even if one is born, there is still the possibility of being an ordinary person without any spiritual roots

Fang Xi had also encountered a Daoist companion who delivered talisman paper and materials to him, a Kun practitioner with the surname Lu, and he had a deep impression of this woman's figure

Drunken Immortal Tower, Hundred Refinements Workshop, Dan Ding Pavilion, Hundred Crafts Building, Thousand Mechanisms Hall

The talisman master was exhausting himself over the few spirit beasts at home that consumed spirit stones when he suddenly heard Fang Xi ask, "May I know the price of this 'Little Thunder Talisman'?"

The talisman master was momentarily taken aback, and then immediately displayed a pained and reluctant expression: "This mid-grade talisman was painstakingly drawn by me, wasting an unknown amount of talisman paper. If you truly wish to have it... take it for one and a half spirit stones..."

... ...

Fortunately, holding the golden light shield talisman in her arms, Fang Xi felt much safer

This is also one of the most important trading places in the market, with the number of spirit stones transacted daily reaching hundreds or even thousands

It must be said that female cultivators and ordinary maidservants give a completely different impression

He identified his location and arrived at a square, making his way to a stall with familiarity.

This is the opportunity that countless cultivators have sought after with great difficulty

Trivial flattery, do not think you can disturb my resolve!

If the first-tier low-grade talisman is merely equivalent to the spell attack of the initial stage of Qi Refinement, then the mid-grade talisman has undoubtedly reached the level of the mid-stage of Qi Refinement

Fang Xi nodded, the descendants of the two immortal cultivators from https://mhetushucom.com, and they might even become three, this pressure... it is like three towering mountains

Elderly, women, children

Alas, the world of the Great Cool is not long-lived

It is akin to the difference between the standard version and the PRO MAX version of a mobile phone in a previous life

One and a half

As a result, not only was the money spent on materials for this market sale completely depleted, but a significant amount of savings was also sacrificed

This talisman is only used for protective closure, one piece and one spirit crystal, yet I do not understand why this young man needs so many

However, if one were to obtain a celestial opportunity, acquiring ancient treasures and miraculous elixirs, one could soar like the Roc, riding the winds for ninety thousand miles in a single day, and in the future, become a celestial being!

However, this is not his concern

Incredible, during this bitterly cold winter, the power of the Ice Symbol is subtly increasing, and the Stone Dragon has nowhere to escape...

This is something they may not obtain even after a lifetime of striving

The strength of this cultivator is paramount, making it truly difficult to navigate through life

Fang Xi would certainly not consider surviving in a small world unless he was driven to a dead end

Several of the largest buildings suddenly came into view

This message ignited the desires within the hearts of all cultivators, akin to gunpowder

Oh, it is you, Fang Xiaoyou

My ice talisman and fire talisman are excellent for both protecting oneself and exterminating pests

Fang Xi glanced at the 'Drunken Immortal Tower', subtly adjusted his waist, and then turned around without changing his expression, as if the seductive sounds by his ear were nothing out of the ordinary

Good example of the evening

The talisman master asked with a smile: "How effective is the ice talisman you recommended last time against the demon insects?"

He is currently in a stage of vigorous advancement, and with the assistance of elixirs, he might be able to break into the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, entering the mid-stage of Qi Refinement

He smiled and congratulated the vendor at https://wwwhetushucom.com

If it were not for financial constraints

Even though it is named a market, in reality, there are only a few dozen buildings, barely forming a street. Along with the mobile stalls that are squeezed in on both sides of the street and in the square, they collectively constitute the most prosperous gathering place for cultivators within a radius of several hundred miles.

Indeed ... even if there are a few in the initial stage of Qi refining, they are merely servants and juniors brought out to see the world ...

After all, one's own cultivation is too weak, while cultivators are often versatile; there may very well be some unique methods of exploration available

A female cultivator's eyes turned red as she grabbed the male cultivator next to her, who was in the know, and loudly inquired.

"Unfortunately, it is not a Foundation Establishment Pill," sighed an old cultivator beside him.

First-tier inferior "Amulet", "Ice Rune", "Flame Rune" ... ...

Faintly, sounds of 'relics', 'treasures', and 'martial arts' can be heard

It is said that the Situ family is very interested in the Zongfu Master and wishes to borrow his seed, but their request was politely declined

"Still want it cheaper?" The talisman master glared, but then seemed to be bent by the weight of life, his expression softening: "Unless you buy a few more low-grade talismans."

Such a small quantity is laughable to sell in large stores; it can only be consumed in places like this

Master of Talismans, congratulations on successfully drawing a first-tier medium-grade talisman

It is now the fourth pregnancy

Confucian scholars, monks, Taoist priests

Middle stage of Qi refining, middle stage of Qi refining, late stage of Qi refining

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and the mist on both sides immediately dispersed, revealing the originally blurred architecture in the center

After a long time, Fang Xi had almost exhausted his saliva before finally obtaining three spirit crystals.

However, the Zongfu Master is an exception, having already produced three offspring, two of whom possess spiritual roots

If possible, he would certainly want to linger in the vast world of the cold.
