My group members have a promising future

Chapter 56: Class Iron Curtain
-------
Cultivation is sometimes very strange. Without someone to guide you, you don’t know why certain situations occur.

That's Xu Zhuo.

He practiced some time ago, and the vital energy in his body can now extend one-fifth of the length of his meridians, which means that the experience bar of the third stage of Qigong has reached 20%.

But as he continued to practice, the energy in his Dantian Qi Sea increased, but the energy in his meridians decreased, which was sometimes very confusing.

A quick search online shows that there are no free resources at all, only advertisements. Even questions I asked were deleted.

He was also unable to log into the networks of some spiritual schools. The Xuan Kingdom intended to isolate the spiritual world from ordinary people.

As for the high school Qigong teacher?

They are all a bunch of lifelong Qigong masters who have practiced the second degree. I have never heard of a Qigong master who has practiced the third degree as a teacher.

If one can cultivate to the third stage and practice Qigong, even if one has just entered the third stage of Qigong, as long as one can mobilize the vital energy, the physical strength can be increased by more than ten times. With such power, why would one want to be a high school teacher?

When I went up to the second floor, my ears suddenly became much quieter, and the lively atmosphere on the first floor disappeared in an instant.

The decoration on the second floor is quiet and elegant, with a light floral scent in the air that makes people feel relaxed and attentive. The lighting is not as bright as on the first floor, and green plants are placed in some places, casting shadows that complement each other.

A woman who was not wearing revealing clothes came over. She actually had a Qigong magnetic field. She was obviously a Qigong practitioner who had reached the third stage. Her Qigong magnetic field gave people a faint burning feeling.

The quality of the second floor is higher than that of the first floor.

"Hello sir, do you need anything?"

The woman didn't have a uniform, but she had a name tag with the name Chen Jia written on it. She must be a shopping guide here.

It’s my first time here and I’m not very familiar with it.

"I want to see something suitable for the third stage of Qigong." Xu Zhuo said.

"Do you need elixirs for cultivation, or weapons and equipment?" asked the shopping guide Chen Jia.

"Elixir."

Weapons and equipment can be put off for a bit, if not, let Ye Fan get some.

Imperial weapons and holy weapons are not easy to get, but there must be four extreme weapons, right? Ye Fan has fought so many people and got a lot of spoils.

"Okay, please follow me."

Xu Zhuo took a look at the layout of the second floor, free shops, skills sales, elixir area, auction room...

"What's your surname, sir?"

"May."

The shopping guide brought Xu Zhuo to the area where elixirs were sold. It was designed as a long bar with some fixed high stools, where some customers were looking at the elixirs.

"Mr. Xu, please take a seat."

She herself entered the counter, behind which were shelves of pills with name labels on them, and provided face-to-face service.

She first served Xu Zhuo a cup of tea, and then she took out a bottle from a compartment behind the counter with the word "Jing Yuan Dan" written on it. It was made of crystal and contained ten white bean-sized pills.

"Mr. Xu, this is the most commonly used Essence Pill. Most Qigong practitioners at the third stage will use this pill to practice. It is safe and pure, without any side effects."

Xu Zhuo looked at the small bottle of medicine. The distance was close enough that his soul power could sense the energy contained in the medicine out of his body.

Very little.

It is higher than Baicao Liquid, but its energy density is much lower than that of pure source.

Xu Zhuo shook his head slightly and asked, "How much is this bottle?"

"The price of Essence Pills is set by the Pill Association. One hundred thousand per pill. We dare not change the price." The shopping guide replied with a smile.

Seeing Xu Zhuo just shook his head slightly, she continued, "How about I change it for you? I guess you are not practicing low-grade Qigong. Middle-grade Qigong has attributes, and the effect of Essence Pill will be worse. I wonder what kind of Qigong you are practicing?"

Xu Zhuo's Dantian Qi Sea is suppressed by the Black Emperor's Water Emperor Talisman, which can lock his breath, and the Qigong magnetic field is restrained, making it impossible to tell his true identity.

Xu Zhuo could see the Qigong magnetic field of this shopping guide. There was a hint of fire in her aura, which should be the fire-attributed technique she was practicing. However, she could not tell Xu Zhuo's true identity.

"I practice water-attributed Qigong." Xu Zhuo said.

"Okay, the most commonly used medicine for practicing water-attributed Qigong is the Water Yuan Dan." She turned around and took out a bottle of light blue pills. Each pill contained a vapor of water, which Xu Zhuo's Black Emperor Water Emperor Qigong could sense.

"The price of Shui Yuan Dan is 150,000 per pill. What do you think?"

Xu Zhuo felt that this pill was fine for practicing Qigong. His Qigong had worked, so it was obvious that this pill was more suitable.

But again, the energy density is low and the price is not cheap.

"Is there anything better?" Xu Zhuo asked.

Just asking but don’t rush to buy, learn more about it first.

"Shui Yuan Dan is the most basic elixir. The better ones are special elixirs that are specifically designed to strengthen the properties of Yuan Qi. For example, Gui Shui Zhen Dan is a elixir that strengthens the quality of Yuan Qi. Just taking one pill can add a stronger Gui Shui Zhen Yi to the Yuan Qi of water-attributed Qigong. Similar ones include Ren Shui Zhen Dan, San Yin Xuan Shui Dan, Huan Yun Han Wu Dan, etc. However, the prices of these elixirs are all above 20 million."

She just explained and didn't take any samples.

"Do you have to go through the Alchemy Association before selling pills?" Xu Zhuo suddenly asked.

"Of course, any elixir that wants to be put on the market for sale must be approved by the Alchemy Association. It is illegal for alchemists and customers to trade privately and use unapproved elixir recipes."

The scope of control is quite broad and it is almost a monopoly.

"What about Qigong and weapons? Are there associations for them too?" Xu Zhuo asked again.

"Qigong techniques and secret skills also need to be certified by the Xuan Guo Wu Jing before they are eligible for sale."

Xu Zhuo was a little unhappy.

The order is strict, so there are few loopholes for him to exploit. It is difficult to cash in things from the group members' world here, at least there is no channel that he can easily find.

"I want to see the Qigong here." Xu Zhuo changed his request.

The shopping guides here were well trained. At least even when Xu Zhuo didn't buy anything, they were still smiling and serving. They used a projection screen to introduce things to Xu Zhuo. "You have practiced middle-grade Qigong. Do you still want to see the Qigong exercises? Or do you only want to see the secret techniques and practice experience?"

Xu Zhuo took a quick look.

The low-quality Qigong sold here starts at one million yuan, while the medium-quality Qigong starts at ten million yuan.

The price of secret techniques of various levels is basically only one-tenth of the price of the techniques.

"Don't you have any high-grade Qigong?"

Xu Zhuo took a quick look and found that only low-grade and medium-grade Qigong were for sale.

"The purchase of high-quality Qigong requires certification. Of course, if you can apply for the qualification to participate in the auction, you will automatically obtain certification."

"So how do you qualify for the auction?"

"Generally speaking, as long as you have no criminal record, a capital verification of 20 million will suffice," said the shopping guide.

Twenty million?
After all, money is still needed.

Xu Zhuo thought for a moment and asked, "Well, is borrowed money okay?"

"Of course, being able to borrow money is also a skill."

Understood.

Xu Zhuo plans to take a look at this auction, and the good stuff should be there.

"Don't you have the right to see the list of auction items? Even advertisements and the like will do."

"Sorry, relevant content can only be pushed to you after you are qualified for the auction."

Iron Curtain!

Iron Curtain!
There’s no need to block the lower level so strictly!
[Xu Zhuo: "Brothers, all the good things in my world are at the auction. I think I might have to go to the auction to take a look."]

[Ye Fan: "Do you need me to provide you with some auction items to sell? I have quite a lot of spoils of war that I don't need myself."]

【Xu Zhuo: "Not for now, let me find a way to check it out first."】

In addition, he really needed to buy a fighting skill from this world.
