Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Over the past three years, almost everyone in the entire Tianpeng Holy City knew the name of Xiao Changsheng, the new Holy Son. Therefore, before leaving Bai Ning's cave, Lu Tian used the Thousand Illusions Pearl to disguise his cultivation level to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. As for his figure and appearance, he changed into a handsome man in his thirties with silver wings on his back.

In just a moment, Lu Tiandu arrived at the edge of the holy city and walked straight to a strange building built against the mountain.

This building is next to a steep mountain wall about a thousand feet high, and a huge rectangular square protrudes directly from the mountain wall. At one end of the square, an arched stone gate about a hundred feet high is opened on the mountain wall.

On both sides of the giant gate, there were more than a dozen fully armed guards standing in a row, and in the middle, many Tianpeng people were coming in and out, making the scene very lively.

This is the trading center in Tianpeng Holy City.

Just as Lu Tiandu flapped his wings behind him and turned into a ball of silver light and entered the trading hall, several guards in front of the door glanced at Lu Tiandu, their faces suddenly changed, and they saluted respectfully.

This was naturally because Lu Tiandu's current cultivation level was that of a mid-level Flying Spirit Marshal. After all, there were not many cultivators in the entire Tianpeng clan who could reach the level of a mid-level Flying Spirit Marshal.

Lu Tiandu nodded slightly to him and flew straight into the giant gate. The next moment, his eyes lit up and the building behind the giant gate appeared in his sight.

The long passageway that could not be seen at a glance had tall buildings like palaces on both sides. Upon closer inspection, these buildings were divided into more than ten floors, each floor was thirty feet high, and every hundred feet of each floor, there would be another palace door more than ten feet high.

Countless Tianpeng people flew in and out, up and down, between these buildings. It seemed that the inside of the palace gate was where the Tianpeng people conducted transactions.

Since Lu Tiandu had asked Bai Ning about the situation in the trading hall before, he did not stop and went straight to the second-floor square.

This is a small square with an area of ​​several hundred feet. The sound of hustle and bustle can be heard from time to time. Looking around, there are shops of various sizes around Lin Luo. Hundreds of Tianpeng people are entering and leaving these shops.

In the middle of the square, there was a bluestone pillar more than ten feet high. The surface of the stone pillar was divided into two in the middle, covered with densely packed words, half of which was flashing red, and the other half was glowing green.

Under the stone pillar, there was a middle-aged man with the cultivation level of a high-level Flying Spirit General who was guarding the pillar, sitting cross-legged with his eyes half closed. In addition, there were a dozen Tianpeng people who raised their heads to look at the things on the pillar and discussed something in a low voice.

As Lu Tiandu approached, the middle-aged man sensed Lu Tiandu's cultivation and quickly stood up and bowed respectfully:
"Meet the Master. I wonder if the Master is posting information or checking it?"

"No need to be so polite. I'll see if there's anything useful."

Lu Tian nodded without caring and looked directly at the stone pillar.

There are red and green texts on the stone pillars, similar to the scrolling screen in the previous life. The texts appear and disappear, scrolling in turn.

As for the Feiling language, Lu Tiandu had learned dozens of scripts of other ethnic groups in the wilderness before entering the wilderness, so he was naturally very familiar with the Feiling language.

These words represent the names of various cultivation resources, and the red font represents the purchase list of resources posted by monks or shop owners.

Of course, if you want to post information on this bulletin board, you will have to pay a small amount of spirit stones.

The green text column is a list of goods for sale posted by shop owners in the trading hall. As for individuals who want to temporarily sell something, there is another small square where they can set up a stall by paying a small amount of spirit stones.

Lu Tiandu came to the Tianpeng clan's trading hall mainly for the Qingluo fruit in the hands of the fish shop owner.

As for posting a request to purchase supplies, what he needed at the moment were basically rare items that even the five combined cultivators of the Tianpeng clan might not be able to collect, so he looked directly at the green column of supplies for sale.

"Qingluo fruit!"

"Ninth floor, Wanleifang!"

The items for sale were not too rare, so Lu Tian was not disappointed.

However, when he saw the information about the sale of Qingluo Fruit, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I didn't expect that the fish shop owner has already opened a shop in the Tianpeng tribe. This is good news!"

"Are we talking face to face? I don't know what spiritual object this person needs in exchange for this fruit. But with my wealth, it's not difficult to trade for this object!"

Information about the fish shop owner flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind and he smiled slightly.

Lu Tian had long heard of Qingluo Fruit being the main ingredient for refining the legendary holy medicine "Tianluo Dan", and it was also what he had been looking for.

Unfortunately, in the past three hundred years, neither the human nor the demon races, nor in the many transactions with the Saint Maiden Qianqiu of the spirit race, had any information about this item.

Taking the Tianluo Pill alone can only help a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage to break through the bottleneck. However, any cultivator who knows about the magical effects of this pill will not waste it so easily.

The main value of this pill lies in its auxiliary effect in helping high-level cultivators break through bottlenecks. Especially for cultivators above the fusion level, the value of this pill is immeasurable to a certain extent.

This is because Tianluo Dan has very unique medicinal properties and can be perfectly integrated with most spiritual medicines without any conflict of medicinal properties.

The most incredible thing is that if Tianluo Dan is taken together with other finished elixirs and magic medicines, there is a certain chance that it will increase the efficacy of other elixirs and magic medicines by 30% to 50%, which is a miraculous effect.

For example, if a cultivator in the fusion stage obtains a certain elixir that can increase his magic power by a hundred years at a time, and wants to fully utilize the medicinal effects of this elixir, Tianluo Dan is an opportunity.

If this elixir is taken together with the Tianluo Pill at the same time, there is a certain probability that the cultivator taking this elixir will increase his cultivation by 130 to 150 years.

Moreover, this effect is generally useful for elixirs of any level, except for a few rumored elixirs that have not been tested and there are no confirmed cases yet.

In this way, for the fusion and Mahayana cultivators, if they get an elixir of incredibly valuable and rare value, they will naturally want to find a Tianluo Pill to take together with it to make the elixir exert its perfect effect.

If by some chance I were lucky enough to increase the effectiveness of the elixir by several times, I would be happy even in my dreams.

As for the probability of Tianluo Dan taking effect, it is really hard to say.

Someone once took three or four of these elixirs in a row, and each one greatly increased the effectiveness of the elixir taken together.

Some people even spent all their money to buy seven or eight Tianluo Dan pills in one go, ready to take a gamble.

However, none of the pills that caused the man to vomit blood were effective.

Although the probability of Tianluo Dan assisting other elixirs to increase their effectiveness is so strange, this elixir has driven countless cultivators crazy since its miraculous effect was discovered.

Take the Qingluo fruit near the human race for example. In just over a thousand years, all of them were picked up.

Moreover, the Qingluo Fruit takes five or six thousand years to mature, and each spiritual tree can only produce one fruit. Once picked, the entire fruit tree will completely lose its spiritual energy and become an ordinary tree from then on.

In addition, the core of the Qingluo fruit, which is also its seed, is also a rare spiritual medicine. Once the flesh is used as medicine, the core cannot be preserved for too long. It must either be used to refine medicine or planted quickly, or its spiritual power will be wasted.

For all these reasons, even if there are major sects and powerful forces that want to spend time and effort to cultivate this fruit in large quantities, it is simply not worth the cost.

Therefore, in the countless years that followed, except for the occasional cultivator who found a few Qingluo fruits from the depths of the wilderness, this fruit rarely appeared in the market.

Even the appearance of these Qingluo fruits has caused high-level cultivators to fight for them, and most of them have fallen into the hands of cultivators above the fusion level. Lu Tiandu had been looking for this item before, mainly to match it with the fusion holy medicine "Nine Spiritual Ganoderma" in his hand.

The Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma originally has the miraculous effect of increasing the chance of fusion by 30% and protecting the cultivator from the calamity of the inner demon. If it is taken in conjunction with a Tianluo Pill, which can just allow the pill to take effect, it can be said that the chance of breakthrough can be more than 40% after taking the Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma.

And this extra 10% or 20% chance of breakthrough, converted into spirit stones, is worth more than 200 to 300 million spirit stones.

This is still for the advancement of Void Refinement cultivators to Fusion. For Fusion cultivators, the crucial bottlenecks are the early stage of Fusion advancement to the middle stage, and the middle stage to the late stage. If there is Tianluo Pill assisted by other rare elixirs to break through the barriers, the amazing benefits will be unimaginable.

It can be said that if there is a steady supply of Tianluo Dan for high-level cultivators to take with rare elixirs, the overall strength of any major force will undergo an astonishing change.

Lu Tiandu originally intended to strengthen the strength of the human race, and it goes without saying that Tian Luodan is a great help.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Tiandu flew all the way and soon arrived at the trading hall on the ninth floor.

The layout of the ninth floor is not much different from the previous floors, except that the cultivators who open shops on the upper floors have higher cultivation levels, and the value of the items they sell or purchase is also higher, so naturally there are fewer cultivators who can come up to trade.

Lu Tiandu swept his spiritual sense and walked towards a medium-sized shop in the corner of the hall.

This shop is divided into two floors. The door is covered by a layer of misty green light curtain, and a light red jade plate is hung at the door, with three large characters "Wanleifang" flashing on it.

With a flash of his figure, Lu Tiandu entered behind the light curtain inside the door without hesitation.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and an empty room about thirty or forty meters in size appeared in front of him.

This is a shop that looks a bit messy.

A shiny black wooden table, several light yellow wooden chairs, and seven or eight broken wooden shelves piled with some messy goods; this is all the furnishings here.

On a wooden chair in the room, a skinny middle-aged man who looked like the shop owner was sitting on a wooden chair, holding a jade slip in his hand and thinking deeply.

This skinny man and Lu Tiandu are disguised in the same way, with a pair of silver roc wings behind them.

"Is this Taoist friend here to buy something or do you have something that I need?"

Seeing Lu Tiandu coming in, the fish shop owner didn't even raise his head, put away the jade slip as if nothing had happened, and said coldly.

He himself was a high-level Flying Spirit Marshal, so he would naturally not be polite to Lu Tiandu who was disguised as a mid-level Flying Spirit Marshal.

"I just happened to see the trading information posted by Daoyou, and heard that Daoyou has the 'Qingluo Fruit'. I wonder how I can trade for this fruit?"

Lu Tiandu didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point.

"Qingluo Fruit? You have a good eye, fellow Daoist. This is one of the most precious things in our store. I guess you want to use this fruit to break through to a higher level, right?"

The fish shop owner still spoke indifferently, "The value of this fruit is beyond words. As long as you can give me something that satisfies me, I will naturally be willing to give you the Qingluo Fruit!"

"There's no need to tell your friends about the use of this thing!"

Lu Tiandu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please tell me how to trade!"

"If you can take out any one of the Netherworld Lotus, Dark Blood Crystal, or Thunder Source Fruit, I can trade this fruit to you."

"If there is no such spiritual object, if you can take out five or six hundred top-grade spiritual stones, I can reluctantly sell you a Qingluo fruit."

The fish shop owner heard Lu Tiandu's confidence and looked at him carefully while he spoke.

"Hey, five or six hundred top-grade spirit stones? Is this fish shop owner taking me for a fool or is he crazy about the spirit stones?"

Lu Tiandu sneered secretly when he heard this.

Five or six hundred million spirit stones. That was the price for the immature Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma that was auctioned at the Tianling City auction.

Normally, the value of this Qingluo fruit is at most one or two hundred top-grade spirit stones.

These five or six hundred top-grade spirit stones may not be available to an average cultivator in the early stage of fusion.

Lu Tiandu looked at the fish shop owner meaningfully, and he remembered the fish shop owner's behavior in the original plot where he tricked Han Li and the other two.

In order to cultivate the thunder beast, the fish shop owner used up the Qingluo Fruit himself on the thunder beast. He then used fake Qingluo Fruits disguised as fruit cores and other treasures to trick Han Li and the other two into helping him subdue the thunder beast. After the task was completed, he decisively prepared to kill the three men to silence them.

If the fish shop owner had not been seriously injured in the process of subduing the thunder beast and his cultivation level had not declined, and Han Li also had many cards up his sleeve, and finally resisted the fish shop owner and got the fruit core, otherwise the three of them would have had a hard time escaping his clutches.

As for the three treasures of the Qingluo Fruit, in fact, except for the Qingluo Fruit core which is real, the others are just illusions created by the fish shop owner using some unique secret technique of the Five Lights Clan.

As far as the fish shop owner himself was concerned, not to mention other treasures, just the extremely rare Qingluo Fruit, a spiritual fruit that he himself didn't even have enough of, needless to say he had never thought of trading it with others.

This fruit is hung brightly on the bulletin board just as bait to attract monks to come and give what they need.

Judging from his actions, not only did he make no-cost business from beginning to end, but he also showed no mercy when it came to killing people and robbing treasures afterwards.

I wonder how many monks the fish shop owner has cheated with this kind of "bait" behavior?
As for why he is so bold, he has his reasons. Even if others turn against him, he is not afraid at all.

Although the fish shop owner seems to be only at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, his strength should not be underestimated.

In the original plot, about a thousand years later, the fish shop owner, who was in the early stage of fusion at that time, stole the rare mineral veins in the seventh layer of the Earth Abyss and secretly escaped to the underworld with the help of Han Li's power, met Han Lao Mo, who was in the middle stage of fusion at that time and was able to rival Han Lao Mo, who was in the late stage of fusion.

As a result, the fish shop owner revealed the true form of the five-colored peacock, and with the help of the five-colored peacock's real blood, he performed a secret technique, which increased his cultivation by two small levels at once, reaching the late stage of fusion. He fought back and forth with the old demon Han, and it was difficult to determine the winner.

Later, he integrated his combined cultivation into the incarnation of a thunder beast, and his cultivation directly reached the early stage of Mahayana, which made the old demon's face change madly. If it weren't for the Ti Hun, who had taken the Qilin essence and also advanced to Mahayana, who suddenly appeared and killed the enemy, the old demon Han might have died at the hands of the fish shop owner.

The time now has been advanced three hundred years. It is not known whether the fish shop owner has cultivated the thunder beast, but even if he has cultivated the thunder beast, he has probably not yet tamed it and refined it into an incarnation.

After all, according to him, before he asked Han Li and the other two to help him subdue the thunder beast, he sought help from many people who were proficient in thunder magic, but without exception they all failed.

In this way, although his cultivation level is in the late stage of Refining Void, the use of the Peacock Secret Technique can improve his cultivation level by two small realms, which means he has the combat power of a mid-stage of Fusion. No wonder he does not take ordinary Refining Void cultivators seriously.

"I hope this old bastard doesn't lie to me!"

This thought suddenly flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind. (End of this chapter)
