Chapter 200: The Killing Formation on the Dark Stone Scale Armor! The Difficulties of a Loose Cultivator!

"What I need most now is a second-level spiritual medicine seed or an active second-level spiritual medicine, especially one with fire attribute!"

The fire-attributed elixir is the basis for him and Yaya to quickly improve their levels.

Originally, a first-level advanced fire-attribute spiritual plant could be cultivated for five hundred years, but the growth efficiency was too slow. Qi Ping estimated that it would be at least four or five times slower.

Although life expectancy is longer now, it is impossible to waste so much time on these things.

"And the spirit stones are also a problem."

The purchase of the second-level formation and the first-level skills and spells not only used up all of Qi Ping's remaining spirit stones, but also consumed a lot of star essence.

Now Qi Ping can be described as penniless.

"It's just that it's not easy to get a second-level elixir now."

Not long ago, Meng Yan conveyed the news that he was in charge of one of the large spiritual veins ceded by Tianhuo Pavilion. As one of the persons in charge, he was in charge of the planting and leasing business therein, and he no longer had extra time to raise these resources for Qi Ping.

This is also an opportunity for Meng Yan himself to gain experience, and it is also the key for him to step into the core position of the sect step by step.

Therefore, Qi Ping didn't want to bother Meng Yan anymore and distract him from his own affairs.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that Qi Ping didn't dare to go to the territory of Tianhuo Pavilion. After all, he had killed many talented disciples of Tianhuo Pavilion before. The large spiritual vein that Meng Yan was responsible for must be the place with the most open and secret struggles now. Going there would be too risky.

"So I won't bother Brother Meng this time. The Star Essence and Moon Essence appearing too frequently in his hands also poses a risk."

"It just so happens that Qingtian Territory has recently issued a lot of trade policies and tax reduction policies. Many merchants will come out, and maybe we can receive some good things!"

Thinking of this, Qi Ping couldn't help but become interested. It just so happened that the security of Qingtian Domain was now basically guaranteed, so it would be nice to go out for a walk at this time.

Post-war reconstruction, everything needs to be rebuilt!
Qi Ping is still somewhat interested in the post-war reconstruction of the world of immortal cultivation. It would be a good opportunity to see the various aspects of life and to temper his Taoism. Anyway, at this point in time, as long as he is careful and cautious, basic safety should be no problem.

"Then let's go out for a while!"

After staying in the territory for so long, he felt a little bored.

It's nice to go out and relax and look around.

After making the decision, Qi Ping began to prepare seriously.

First, he engraved a [Mysterious Gold Killing Array] on the [Dark Stone Scale Armor]!
Today, after years of forging and tempering by the Ghost Iron Tree, the Ghost Stone Scale Armor is no less powerful than a second-level intermediate spiritual weapon, and is even stronger.

The spirituality contained in it is even more extraordinary, and an extremely special golden energy surrounds it.

On this basis, Qi Ping, with the help of the [Natural Sanctuary] and [Farming Field], engraved the second-level intermediate [Xuanjin Killing Array] on it.

Once Qi Ping chooses to activate it, he can use the spiritual power in the [Ghost Stone Scale Armor] and his own spiritual power to briefly burst out a power slightly weaker than the black gold killing array in the territory.

But even if its power is weaker, it is still enough to pose a considerable threat to cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

In addition, he has already perfected the foundation-building spell "Sword Controlling Technique" and based on it, he has improved it into a more suitable "Armor Controlling Technique" for himself. With the added ability of "Golden and Stone Body" to control metal, his current Armor Controlling Technique can be described as elusive.

After mastering the Youshi Scale Armor, Qi Ping further improved the "Fetal Breathing Technique" and "Disguise and Bone Shrinking Technique" into a technique called "Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations" that was perfectly suited for him to change his appearance, body shape, and aura.

The name of this spell also represents Qi Ping's possibilities for the future. Naturally, it must reach a state where he can change in a myriad of ways so that no one can lock onto his true identity.

However, in order to make the aura and changes more realistic, "The Thousand Changes Art" must be practiced one form at a time to ensure the highest degree of realism.

After making all the preparations, Qi Ping chose one day to step out of the Yunwu Mountains.

This time, Qi Ping transformed into a middle-aged man with a weathered face, and under his thin clothes was a body that had been weathered by wind and snow.

In terms of aura, Qi Ping retained the realm of the initial stage of foundation building, but he hid his Taoist state of mind and his understanding of the true meaning of the law.

After all, what he went out to buy this time was a second-level elixir. If the aura was that of a Qi-refining cultivator, it might bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For example, questioning why a small Qi-refining cultivator would buy a second-level elixir?
For example, if a Qi-refining cultivator buys a second-level elixir, isn’t that just like a child carrying gold through the market?

These actions can easily lead to unnecessary conflicts, and Qi Ping is not interested in taking the initiative to do such things.

In addition, Qi Ping also brought along Crow, who had broken through to the middle stage of the second order with the help of the Fiery Sun Wood, the Hundred-Eyed Flower Demon, who had broken through to the early stage of the second order after systematic training, and a colony of ground bees that had practiced an improved version of the battle formation.

In addition, Qi Ping also brought his own [Phantom Stone Scale Armor] and a set of exquisite spells. At the first stop, Qi Ping chose the Qingshifang Market, which was closest to him.

On the way to Qingshifang City, Qi Ping saw many independent cultivators, including old men from Qingshi County and many foreign cultivators.

"It seems that Qingyuan Sect's method of attracting foreign cultivators has worked. In less than a year, it has attracted so many foreign cultivators!"

Qi Ping keenly sensed a sense of vitality and hope in these people, and his eyes became more energetic.

"It seems that as long as the environment is good, the most abundant thing for the immortal cultivation world is ordinary independent cultivators."

"Other places are inward-looking and stressful. Qingyuan Sect now offers preferential rent and tax policies. I can save dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones a year. Under such conditions, there is really no reason not to come."

If you ask yourself, if Qi Ping had such an opportunity when he was an ordinary cultivator, he would inevitably be tempted. It can be predicted that in the many years to come, as long as there is no war, now is the best time to enter and make money.

As they walked, with Qi Ping's strength in building his foundation, they soon arrived at Qingshifang City.

Looking at the lively scene inside, Qi Ping couldn't help but marvel at the tenacious vitality of the independent cultivators.

Qingshi County lost the suppression of the three major families, and the vigorous attitude of the group of independent cultivators seemed to be even more enthusiastic than before the war.

After entering the market town, Qi Ping did not deliberately suppress or release his aura. When those wandering cultivators saw Qi Ping, they voluntarily made way for him.

No matter who Qi Ping is, the aura of a Foundation Establishment Stage person alone is enough to make them feel awe and fear.

There was no one who was so foolish as to provoke Qi Ping. Some even waited respectfully for Qi Ping to pass by before leaving.

After Qi Ping walked a long way, these monks began to discuss in a low voice:

"Who is this foundation-building monk? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I have inquired about all the foundation-building cultivators in Qingshi County, but it seems that there is no such person?"

"Could it be that he is a foundation-building cultivator from outside?"

For a while, there was endless discussion, and envy, awe, and fear were revealed in everyone's eyes.

This is the deterrent power of foundation-building cultivators among casual cultivators!
After walking for a while, Qi Ping chose the most luxurious "Jubao Chamber of Commerce" in Qingshifang City and stepped in.

This Chamber of Commerce has been open in Qingshi County for hundreds of years. Qi Ping didn't even dare to take a step forward before, as he was so poor and incompetent at that time.

But this time it was different. As soon as Qi Ping stepped into the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, the people inside sensed Qi Ping's presence, and the most beautiful female cultivator in the store came up to him enthusiastically, asking Qi Ping warmly and carefully what kind of tea and snacks he liked.

This time, Qi Ping also experienced the change in status brought about by the foundation-building stage.

Indeed, for the foundation-building cultivators, beautiful female cultivators without talent are no longer rare in their eyes. As long as they are willing, a large number of female cultivators will come forward to serve them.

After Qi Ping and others waited for a while, a steward who had reached the peak of Qi training came out in a hurry and respectfully invited Qi Ping to the private room.

"Senior, please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"

Although this manager had reached perfection in Qi training, he knew clearly that this was an insurmountable chasm that he would never be able to overcome in his lifetime!
"Don't worry about that. I just came here to buy some things today."

Qi Ping told them to relax, he didn't expect that he would receive such a high-level reception just for buying something.

"Excuse me, senior, what would you like to buy? I will give you the biggest discount within my authority!" said the steward respectfully.

"I want to buy some second-level spiritual medicines! What second-level spiritual medicines do you have for sale?"

Qi Ping's requirements for these are not high. He can buy some second-level spiritual medicines to make it easier for the pharmacist bee to study honey. Spiritual medicines with fire attributes are best.

But as soon as Qi Ping finished speaking, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the manager's face, and he said nervously.

"Senior, our store doesn't have any second-level spiritual medicine for sale."

"Huh? Your store should be one of the best stores in Qingshifang City, how come you don't even have second-level spiritual medicine?" Qi Ping looked at the manager in confusion.

"Senior, is this your first time in Qingtian Territory? To be honest, the production of second-level spiritual medicines here is scarce, and the resources are strictly controlled. If you want to buy second-level spiritual medicines, you can only buy them from people in the Qingyuan Sect at a high price. Or they are occasionally sold in larger cities."
