Chapter 108 Spiritual Stone

It is normal that cultivators of the same level cannot see each other's realm clearly as long as they do not fight.

If Chen Yu wanted, he could also display any level of spiritual energy fluctuations in front of the Qi Refining cultivators.

He looked normal on the outside, as if he was a familiar customer entering the thick fog.

There are many cultivators in Leiyang Lake, and they will use different identities when entering the market.

So no matter whether it is the shop owner, the stall owner, or the customers passing by, no one would notice such a stranger.

The feeling of being there in person is indeed different from the perspective of spiritual consciousness.

There were a lot of people in the market town, but few made any noise.

Accents vary greatly, but there are always people who can recognize the original accent.

Unless you have an argument with a stall owner or store owner, it is better to talk less and observe more.

As for communication between souls, the probability of being recognized is actually greater.

The shops on the left and the stalls on the right seem clearly separated.

The main business of the various treasure pavilions managed by the immortal sect is to purchase raw materials and sell talismans, magic tools and elixirs with higher added value.

Of course, there are also shops that resell the collected spiritual herbs and fruits, but the quality is guaranteed and the price is much higher.

Those setting up stalls are all independent cultivators, or cultivators from sects who hold spiritual objects of unknown origin.

Generally they sell freshly harvested elixirs, and sometimes you can also see damaged or even bloody magical instruments.

The transactions here mainly use a small stone rich in spiritual energy as an intermediary, which is called spiritual stone.

Bartering is also the norm, but Chen Yu does not have any spiritual objects that can be used for exchange.

The spiritual plants in the space were afraid that someone would find their source and then discover the existence of the spiritual beads and jade bottles. If the dragon's corpse was released, it would probably cause a sensation here.

Chen Yu walked around the market town but didn't see any treasures that excited him.

Coming all the way from Chengshui, I have collected almost all the spiritual objects that can be collected.

For these cultivators whose highest cultivation level is only the eighth level of Qi Refining, the probability of finding good things is extremely small, and even if they have any, they dare not come to the market to make trouble.

The building in the center of the city is an equipment pavilion, which shines with precious light. It is also the most luxurious shop in the city. Chen Yu can see traces of formations there.

It is said that this is the place where Lingyi Zhenren was in seclusion. For fear of being discovered, no spiritual consciousness went near it.

The shops in the market town all have owners. Ninety percent of them belong to the four major immortal sects, and another ten percent belong to the immortal cultivation families around Danhua Island.

To set up a stall, one needs to pay one spirit stone every day, and there is no place to live.

If he wanted to settle down here, he would need to prepare at least two thousand spirit stones, and he would also have to wait until there was an opportunity when the immortal cultivation family fell into decline.

Chen Yu only had a spirit stone in his hand, which was a leftover piece that had been used for most of the time and was almost worthless.

Without spirit stones and unable to exchange them for spiritual objects, he decided to leave this place temporarily.

As for the fishing enforcement method, which is to lure the scattered cultivators into the trap, although this method is good, Chen Yu does not want to use it.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

If you hook a fish bigger than you, it's your own fault.

The only time he had done this was when the courtyard was overflowing with spiritual energy, attracting evil cultivators.

But that was not his original intention. Afterwards he specially deduced a spirit-isolating formation to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

After leaving the market, Chen Yu traveled around Danhua Island. The world of immortal cultivation was vast, and perhaps there were other places more suitable for settlement.

Unlike Daning, the concentration of spiritual energy here is high, often showing a state of immortals and mortals living together.

The dynasty has the support and suppression of the immortal sect behind it, so no chaos will break out.

As long as you don’t go too far, the immortal sect will turn a blind eye.

The best interests of the Immortal Sect are to maintain secular stability, increase population, and provide more immortal seedlings.

As the connection point between immortals and mortals, there are innate warriors that are rarely seen in Daning in a hundred years, and each royal family here openly has at least one.

The strength of a congenital warrior is comparable to that of a warrior in the early stage of Qi training, but the road ahead is blocked, and he can only turn to the practice of immortal cultivation.

A cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining still has the chance to be surrounded and killed by mortals or acquired warriors.

Once one reaches the middle stage of Qi Refining, the possibility of controlling spiritual energy to fly briefly in the air becomes almost zero.

When one reaches this level, they will generally pursue a higher path to immortality and will not waste time in the dynasty.

The pleasure brought by raising one's realm to a higher level is much more comfortable than mastering worldly power.

As for those immortal cultivation families, they actually also belong to the category of independent cultivators.

There are at least a few and at most no more than a hundred Qi-refining monks, who are no different from penned pigs and sheep in the eyes of the immortals.

Their way of survival is naturally to send the outstanding children in the clan into the immortal gate, so as to seek the protection of the upper sect.

Because some things are easier for subordinates to do, the Xiuxian family has coexisted with the four major sects in this special way for thousands of years.

The proportion of spiritual roots over five inches long is about one in hundreds of thousands.

Compared with the massive population of the mortal world, it is not a lot, but the total amount is also very considerable.

Moreover, the requirements for spiritual roots of ordinary immortal cultivation families are not as high as those of the four major immortal sects.

If the standard is lowered to 4.5 inches or even 4 inches, the number of people who meet the requirements will increase greatly.

For a family of immortal cultivators that controls a population of up to one million, it is not difficult to gather a dozen Qi-refining cultivators.

Others simply form groups of independent practitioners and gather together in the name of a family.

The advantage of doing this is that it can avoid sneak attacks and bully lone monks.

However, cultivators are often selfish, and small groups usually cannot go very far before they end up killing each other due to various temptations.

After a quick tour around the island, Chen Yu decided to exchange some spirit stones.

The only thing he had that he could use was the spiritual gold.

According to his observations these days, this blue spiritual gold is considered to be a relatively common type of spiritual gold.

Of course, the price is not cheap either.

An inch square of blue spiritual gold weighs about seventy kilograms and is worth fifteen spiritual stones.

In general, spiritual gold is only used on the blades of cultivators' magic weapons, while the main body is still made of hundred-forged steel.

There are also wealthier monks in the sects whose magical instruments are made entirely of spiritual gold and are worth hundreds of spiritual stones.

Chen Yu planned to exchange two hundred cubic inches of spiritual gold for some spiritual stones and sell them in five or six batches.

The target buyers are those immortal cultivation families who have enough financial resources to take over and will not pose a threat to him.

It is worth about three thousand spirit stones, which is a considerable number among the four major immortal sects.

For an average immortal cultivation family, the annual turnover is only between three to four hundred spirit stones.

Back then in the market, he didn't dare to take out his spiritual gold rashly. Not to mention exchanging spiritual gold for spiritual stones, only very wealthy cultivators would do that.

Chen Yu could not predict whether the four major sects would break the rules because of these interests.

But the best way is to keep your wealth hidden.

He wouldn't divide it into too many batches, so the trouble is secondary.

What’s important is that there must be communication between cultivators, and immortal cultivation families are more likely to have frequent contact.

Five or six times is not a big deal, but if it happens too many times, your whereabouts will inevitably be exposed.

Being so timid will only make people more suspicious.
