Chapter 94: Qingzhu Mountain Market (First Order)
"What took you so long to come out? What did you talk about with Master?"

Li Lingyu said that they were the only two Qi Refining disciples under the master, so they would have someone to look after them when they went to other markets to buy spiritual objects.

She had only built her foundation in recent years, and the five elements essence needed to complete the mandatory task was not much, but after building the foundation, she would have to pay for higher-level spiritual objects. She was short of money and might not be able to complete the task.

Therefore, she had the same idea as Ji An, thinking of buying more essences to make a little profit and alleviate her predicament.

For this purpose, she just borrowed more than a hundred spirit stones from several senior brothers and sisters.

"Master tested my magic."

Ji An left his words half-sentence. It was better not to mention the matter of borrowing spirit stones. It might not lead to any bad things. It would be bad if the other party felt unfair or resentful.

"Master has always wanted to train a disciple who can take her place. Several of my senior brothers and sisters are quite talented in alchemy, but almost no one is willing to work hard on planting. Your talent will definitely please Master."

Li Lingyu said softly, with a hint of loss in her words. She felt that despite working diligently for all these years, she was not respected by her master like the other party was now.

“Hey, I’m just a person who takes care of the spiritual fields.

Senior Sister, the sect's flying boat to Qingyun Fairy City only departs once a month, and we have to wait another seven or eight days before the next departure. If we wait, we will miss the opportunity.

I'm thinking of going to the small and medium-sized markets established by the immortal families around the sect and choosing a route that can lead to Qingyun Immortal City. The only thing I don't know is whether such a route is safe enough.

Ji An changed the subject. He could hear the subtle emotion in the other person's tone.

After Wei Songnian goes to Qingyun Immortal City, he will not return by flying boat, but will choose to pass through various markets.

However, they were a group of familiar disciples from the sect traveling together. The safety of more than a dozen disciples in the late stage of Qi training traveling together was guaranteed.

"The sects and other towns have established law enforcement teams to regularly clear out robbers and cultivators in order to maintain order in Xizhou.

Because whether it is for the sect or the various immortal cultivation families, only stable order can lead to better development.

I know the routes of those trading disciples, and their safety is guaranteed.

So, I'll rent a flying beast first. Even if a robbery cultivator sets his sights on us, he won't be able to catch up to us."

Li Lingyu smiled faintly and said proudly:

“In fact, most of the robbery cultivators are just casual cultivators who are doing miserable. Whether it’s the magic spells they master or the magic weapons they hold, they are not as good as disciples of the sect like us.

We are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so if we were to encounter a Tribulation Cultivator, it's not certain who would tribulate whom."

"Senior Sister is right. I need to go to the medicine garden. Where will we meet later?"

Ji An said that he still needed to go back to his residence to get the talismans he had accumulated in the past two months. After arriving at Qingyun Fairy City, he would trade them and have more starting capital.

"Let's meet at the flying boat platform on Luoxia Mountain. There's a small market three hundred miles southeast of Luoxia Mountain that can be our first stop."

The two of them said goodbye. Ji An first went to the medicine garden to give Lao Xiang some instructions, asking him to pay more attention in the next few days. Then he returned to the bamboo house at the foot of the mountain, took the talisman and put it into the storage bag.

Finally, he put the spirit-seeking mouse into a cloth bag, fed the gray-feathered sand goose a spirit-feeding pill, and then rode on it.

Four days later.

Qingzhu Mountain Market is the largest market within a radius of 800 miles. Ji An cleared out the stocks of all the shops selling the Five Elements Essence and Five Elements Spiritual Objects, and did not even let go of the areas where the independent cultivators set up stalls.

As the two of them walked out of the market, he sighed:
“There’s not enough goods!”

He had nearly three thousand spirit stones in his storage bag, and he had only spent more than six hundred, while he was already halfway through the journey.

By this calculation, I can only spend one thousand one hundred or two hundred before arriving at Qingyun Fairy City. It is shameful to borrow so many spirit stones from my master but not use them. It is a waste of purchasing power.

Li Lingyu grinned. She had already spent all her spirit stones at the last market. She asked tentatively:

"Maybe we can return without reaching Qingyun Immortal City?"

She was not surprised that this junior brother was richer than her. She had used all her spirit stones to exchange for foundation-building pills, and the other party was preparing to exchange for foundation-building pills, so it was normal for him to have a lot of spirit stones in his hands.

"We still have to go to Qingyun Immortal City. Senior Sister, have you forgotten that I still need to deliver the talismans to the cooperating shops?"

Ji An smiled and said:
"Senior sister, please accompany me. I don't know the way, and I don't feel safe going to the Immortal City alone.

Don't worry, I won't let you go in vain. I will cover any extra losses and give you a thank you gift."

The sect charges for renting beasts on a daily basis, and we cannot let the other party suffer a loss. In addition, the time cost is also a cost, and these must all be taken into account.

"It's awkward to talk so much between senior sisters and students."

Li Lingyu smiled, the other party's words made her feel comfortable.

She didn't intend to ask for any thank-you gift from the other party, she just asked them to make up for the extra rental costs.

The two left the market and headed towards their next destination.

After flying about thirty miles, Ji An looked back as if he had realized something, and saw an inky black flying boat rushing towards him, only three or four miles away from them.

He immediately became alert. When monks met in the wild, they would stay away from each other if they didn't want to get into conflict.

Li Lingyu also noticed it. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a cold tone:

"It seems to be coming towards us! Ha! There's actually a flying boat.

If they are really enemies, they will definitely catch up with us. Let's land. I want to see who has the guts to do this!"

The two of them were wearing the sect's uniforms and were at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Someone who rushed towards them so openly was definitely an enemy, not a friend.

When she left the sect, she'd said she was being watched, but it was just a joke. She hadn't expected someone to actually come. The two quickly descended into the dense forest. Ji An looked at the gray-feathered sand goose and cursed inwardly. Without a spirit beast bag, there was no way to put this jerk away.

This beast can fly fast, but its combat capability is not that great.

"Run away."

He waved his hand to ask Sha Yan to move away, pulled off the cloth bag from his waist and shook it, and the spiritual rat jumped down.

"You hide first, and then attack when you hear my signal to hold the enemy back."

Xunlingshu nodded, a flash of light appeared on his body, and he sank into the ground.

It is an earth-type monster that has awakened the innate magic of earth-walking.

The black flying boat was extremely fast and reached their landing location in four or five breaths.

“Hehe, the two young friends from the Jinling Sect don’t need to hide anymore.

I only seek wealth. If you hand over the storage bag and magic tools, I will leave without saying anything."

A hoarse voice echoed in the mountains and forests. Zhang Tiezhu, wearing a black hood that only exposed his two eyes, unscrupulously released his spiritual sense to search for the person who was hiding.

Feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from the air and the divine consciousness sweeping across his body, Ji An's face turned very ugly. It turned out to be a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He looked at Li Lingyu, whose face also showed bitterness.

No one will believe what the enemy says. If you hand over the magic weapon, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered. Only by showing enough strength can you scare off the enemy.

"Sister, only by fighting hard can you have a chance of survival. The blue rune is the Water Curtain Talisman, and the golden one is the Gengjin Talisman. They are both top-quality mid-grade talismans. There's no need to be frugal."

Ji An transmitted the message and took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag and handed them to the other party.

He was determined to fight back, and brought more than 1,200 talismans with him today. Unless the enemy could quickly get rid of the two of them, the Foundation Establishment cultivator would also be able to fight.

Li Lingyu's panicked eyes calmed down, and he took the talisman and said:

"Then let us, the brothers and sisters, meet this thief and get out. He has already discovered us."

As she spoke, an umbrella-shaped magical weapon with a very short handle appeared in her hand. She then activated a golden armor talisman to protect her entire body and stepped out to face the enemy.

The magic weapon is the Tianluo Umbrella left by her father, which can be used for both attack and defense.

The umbrella surface made of wind-milled copper and refined iron is a dull light gold color, with dense runes on it and sharp arcs on the edges.

The umbrella may look thin, but it is covered with eighteen layers of magic restrictions, and its defensive power is not inferior to those shield-type magic weapons, and is even stronger.

This magical weapon can be controlled by magic formulas to rotate at high speed. It is extremely sharp and once cut a unicorn python with gifted rock armor into two pieces with one strike.

Ji An pinched his fingers and released the wind control technique, and suddenly felt a light and agile force enveloping his whole body.

He uses the Wind Control Technique many times every day, and it has reached the perfect level.

He raised the stone turtle shield, held a stack of talismans in his other hand, and followed his senior sister out.

"You have courage and insight, worthy of being a sect disciple. It seems that you two want to try my methods."

Zhang Tiezhu is the shopkeeper of the Bailian Pavilion in the market town, and occasionally does business at no cost.

Today, Ji An spent more than a hundred spirit stones in his shop without blinking an eye, which made him greedy. Such a wealthy sect disciple must be a fat sheep.

He later saw that the other party had visited all the weapon refining shops, which made him even more greedy and he really made up his mind to make a fortune.

The mana of the Foundation Establishment Stage is liquidized, and the quality of the mana is one level higher than that of the Qi Refining Stage. The same spell and the same level will have completely different power in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.

Even if he only knew one attack spell for the Foundation Establishment Stage, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with two ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

As Zhang Tiezhu spoke, a fiery red magic sword flew out from behind him, dragging a flame tail and attacking Ji An who had just stepped out. It turned out that his magic weapon had been hovering behind him.

This flying sword is his masterpiece. It has two kinds of fire spiritual objects added to it and a large amount of fire essence is used to nourish its spirituality. It is a top-grade magic weapon.

Not only is it extremely sharp, but it also has fire attribute attacks when attacking.

At the same time, a yellow triangular flag appeared in his hand. After inputting magic power, magical patterns appeared on the flag, and a ball of khaki spiritual light protected his body.

This is another defensive high-grade magic weapon of his, which can stimulate the earth-element spiritual light.

As a weapon refiner, he deeply understands that the quality of magic weapons is more important than quantity.

The moment a ray of flame caught his eyes, Ji An activated the water curtain talisman to block the direction of the attack.

Ever since the Dao Seed that controlled the clouds and rain was generated, he felt that the water curtain talisman he drew had also changed slightly, and seemed to be more resilient.

The pale blue water curtain rises, forming a perfect hemisphere.

Ji An injected his magic power into the stone turtle shield, and an ochre-colored light rose on the surface of the shield. He pinched the magic formula to adjust the position of the stone turtle shield, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward.

He had never experienced the methods of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, but he knew in his heart that if they just passively defended, the two of them would definitely be slowly worn down by the enemy.

They had to pose a threat to the enemy in order to scare them away. Now it depended on whether their attacks could inflict enough damage on the enemy.

The perfect level of water curtain only blocked the flying sword for a moment. As the spiritual light dissipated, the flying sword pierced the stone turtle shield, making a sound of metal striking metal.

Ji An immediately understood that the defensive aura on the stone turtle shield was also pierced in an instant.
