Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 67: White turtle’s notes, taking advantage of the situation

There are many demons and ghosts in Qili Lake, and only a few people know about the Day-roaming Spirit Soldiers. They all think that Su Ji is some ignorant Dongxuan cultivator.

Unexpectedly, not only did the clam spirit and pearl maiden and a group of demons rise to greet them, but even the guards Qian Feng and the carp spirit followed.

"Welcome, Day-Traveling Spirit Soldiers!"

"Welcome to God!"

"My benefactor—"

Immediately, many demons and ghosts who were unaware of the situation were completely baffled.

"A wandering spirit soldier, who isn't even the lowest rank among the gods, can still be considered a high god?"

There is also a tacit rule in the Yin-Yang realm: although spirit weapons are noble, they can at most be compared with ghost generals.

They had only ever heard ghost generals refer to spirit officials and spirit generals as supreme gods, but this was the first time they had ever heard of spirit soldiers being called supreme gods.

"Benefactor?"

At this moment, some demons and ghosts couldn't help but have a thought.

"It is said that Qian Feng recently broke into a village and almost died there. Could it be that he survived because of the help of this Day Wandering Spirit Soldier?"

Actually, Su Ji changed his mind a few days ago while on official business.

With the protection of the guardian spirit, these demons, and since he was an outsider, he did not promote the Pearl Maiden, many demons and ghosts did not know his origin.

Su Ji quickly cupped his hands and said, "You're too kind, everyone. This is my first time participating in the Guardian Spirit General's trade fair, and I'd appreciate your guidance!"

He didn't care about the gossip of the demons and ghosts around him, since they weren't on the same side.

He came here for only one purpose: to trade intelligence from the White Turtle Spirit General and then go to the deep abyss at the bottom of the lake to cultivate.

The pearl maiden, a pearl spirit, welcomed the wandering spirit soldiers to the square and began to explain: "When the High God came and went on official business, I was in a hurry and did not explain the details of the trade fair. Today, I will take this opportunity to explain it in detail."

"The trade fair has roughly five stages."

"The first stage is the treasure-bragging. As long as the treasure is approved by the guardian spirit weapon, it can be taken on stage to brag about in the order of registration. It is not for sale on site."

"The second stage is the selection of treasures, which involves choosing the top ten most popular treasures."

"The third stage is the treasure auction, where ten selected treasures will be auctioned off, and the highest bidder wins."

"The fourth stage is seeking treasure. Some people say that if you go out to ask for it, the minimum price you should ask for is one hundred strands of divine power."

"The fifth stage is the city's treasure market, where some people set up stalls to sell, and others browse and buy..."

There is no unified currency in the Yin-Yang realm; it exists in a state of barter, and values ​​are determined by the gods.

One hundred strands of divine power could probably buy a single ordinary mid-grade spiritual material.

It is clear that this trade fair is targeting cultivators at the Ghost General level.

Su Ji's heart stirred slightly, and he even had the thought that he had arrived too early.

On second thought, he felt relieved: "Being able to participate in a complete trade fair is a novel experience!"

The path to immortality is not just about mysteries and principles; it includes the solemnity and "enjoyment" of sacrificial ceremonies, as well as the satisfaction and enlightenment at banquets...

Now, we can experience the local customs and culture of Qili Lake and learn about the ecological environment maintained by the White Turtle Spirit General.

"coming!"

As soon as the demons and ghosts finished shouting, two guardian spirit soldiers, a human and a turtle, appeared, indicating that the trade fair had begun.

The human guardian spirit soldier was a lean old man who seemed to have presided over countless trade fairs. He picked up the list and began calling out to those who wanted to buy treasures.

Soon, a lobster spirit came up on stage and held up its large pincers, saying, "This piece of jade is what I obtained from the second level of the deep abyss at the bottom of the lake. The spiritual meaning contained within it elucidates a wondrous technique."

"With this jade, even if I don't become a high-level cultivator of the Cave Profound Realm, I can at least become a Cave Profound Mage!"

When praising a treasure, one naturally exaggerates its value, but many demons and ghosts immediately recognized the true worth of this jade.

Seeing this, the pearl maiden transformed into a commentator, saying, "These spiritual jade stones are often found in the deep abyss of the lake. The profound techniques recorded on them are varied, but they are all the most common kind. The most precious one is that spiritual essence."

"This lobster was originally just a monster with incomplete intelligence. It must have cultivated its heavenly soul and spirit with the help of this spiritual jade stone, which made it much clearer."

"The Spirit Jade can probably be used about three times. Now that the lobster spirit probably feels it has no use for this Spirit Jade, it's putting it up for sale. Even if it's not chosen, it will definitely fetch a good price in the free market..."

The low intelligence of many demonic beasts is a major weakness. If one can cultivate a Heavenly Soul and Spirit, one's intelligence will naturally increase as one comprehends the universe.

The purpose of spiritual jade is to guide beings with no foundation or even much intelligence in their cultivation.

Even if you don't know what the purpose of doing this is, as long as you find it fun and interesting, you might be able to cultivate a celestial soul and spirit.

Su Ji naturally became more curious... The Spirit Jade Stone has the character "意" (meaning/intention) in it, could it be made by a high-level cultivator from the Cave Profound Realm?
Given his status, it wasn't appropriate to inquire everywhere. Fortunately, he had the Earth God, a highly skilled cultivator, by his side, so it wouldn't be too late to ask later.

Soon, many more demons and ghosts came up on stage to boast, including Yin Qi Pearls that Su Ji was familiar with, Yuan Stones containing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and all sorts of spiritual materials.

According to the pearl maiden's deduction, no treasure could be worth more than three hundred strands of divine power, but this was the norm at the trade fair.

Fortunately, there is a treasure-hunting phase later on, where some demons and ghosts are even willing to give up their entire fortune to obtain some treasures.

The subsequent treasure selection was very exciting. The lobster spirit's spiritual jade stone was evaluated and had two more uses, thus making it into the top ten.

Since the auction items were all selected, quite a few people bid during the bidding process. The Pearl Maiden bid for the Yin Qi Pearl, clearly intending to help Qian Feng restore his cultivation.

Seeing this, Yan Tianchou couldn't help but joke, "Qian Feng is really living off a woman's money; ordinary people really can't learn that!"

Qian Feng's experiences were extremely difficult. Su Ji was his benefactor, and the Pearl Maiden was his benefactor.

Su Ji simply smiled, and a moment later he leaped into the air.

There was no other reason than that it was his turn to seek treasure in the fourth stage. Although Su Ji only transformed into an ordinary set of clothes, he exuded an aura of authority, clearly cultivated by his many days as a wandering spirit soldier.

After taking the stage, Su Ji showed no stage fright and said bluntly, "Two Guardian Spirit Soldiers, I would like to make a deal with the Guardian Spirit General."

If you're looking for treasure, you can state what you want and naturally propose trading directly with the Guardian Spirit General.

The lean guardian spirit soldier nodded and said, "If other demons or ghosts need to have their credentials verified, then please come this way since you are a day-roaming spirit soldier from the local earth god temple!"

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd of demons and ghosts, Su Ji was led to the backstage of the trade fair, where many of them began to murmur amongst themselves.

"This wandering spirit soldier actually wants to trade directly with the guardian spirit general. Could it be a transaction involving more than five hundred strands of divine power?"

"The Guardian Spirit General is a high-level cultivator of the Cave Profound Realm. Could it be that the Day Wandering Spirit Soldier has come to ask for some advice?"

"..."

The daytime spirit soldier incident was just a minor episode; another guardian spirit soldier continued to preside over the trade fair.

Even after the fifth phase, when the market treasures began to be freely traded, the Day Wandering Spirit Weapon still hadn't appeared. The Clam Maidens and their group weren't in a hurry, and instead set up stalls in the square.

Qian Feng was a little shy at first, but he quickly became skilled at calling out: "Mirage Pearl, a good thing for defending against enemies and protecting your life; Dream Pearl, to make your dreams come true; Conch Shell Pearl, to have a house to live in wherever you go!"

A moment later, Qian Feng's expression suddenly changed. It wasn't that the Day Wandering Spirit Soldier had returned, but rather that the catfish demon that had provoked him yesterday had reappeared.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the newcomer was hostile, Qian Feng snorted and was about to step forward with his sword.

"Do not impulse!"

Zhu Nu quickly stopped Qian Feng: "This is the White Turtle Spirit General's trading fair, and it's in the square in front of the Water Mansion. Even if that catfish demon has found help, it won't dare to act recklessly."

"Besides, you're not alone, you have us!"

A group of fairies may not be strong in combat, but they have different methods and can definitely confuse their enemies.

Furthermore, the three-colored carp spirit present was from the same clan as the Water Palace Spirit Official, so those demons and ghosts probably wouldn't dare to provoke them in public.

Qian Feng then suppressed his anger. Yesterday, the catfish demon attacked him while he was out alone. If it weren't for the copper coin sword given to him by the Day Wandering Spirit Soldier, the catfish demon would have succeeded.

Even so, the catfish demon who coveted the beauty of the pearl maiden still spewed vulgarities, and Qian Feng wished he could kill it on the spot with a single sword strike.

By the time Su Ji returned to the square, satisfied, nearly half of the free trading time had already passed.

"Did the transaction with the High God succeed?" the Pearl Maiden asked specifically.

Su Ji nodded in agreement: "Guardian Spirit is knowledgeable and has a rich collection, so this transaction was naturally a success!"

The White Turtle Spirit General is a great demon who has lived for hundreds of years. Naturally, he has often visited the human world for fun and has been very curious about human food. He has also eaten a lot of delicacies from the Yin and Yang realms.

The delicacies from the Yin-Yang Realm that Su Ji presented were delicious and appealing, and were well received by the White Turtle Spirit General. The White Turtle Spirit General not only shared some of his observations but also presented him with a handwritten note about bloodline spirits.

At this moment, Su Ji realized that the three elements of Heavenly Soul, Earthly Soul, and Human Soul actually involved the three most primordial Dao energies.

The Heavenly Soul and Spirit cultivate Profound Qi, which is transformed from the Primordial Profound Qi; the Earthly Soul and Spirit cultivate Blood and Qi, which is transformed from the Primordial Beginning Qi; and the Human Soul and Spirit cultivate Primordial Qi, which is transformed from the Primordial Primordial Qi.

Even Yan Tianchou suddenly realized: "The yang energy of the earth and the yin energy of the earth combine to form the earth's primordial energy, and the yang energy of the heavens and the yin energy of the heavens combine to form the heaven's primordial energy. Only when the primordial energy of the sun and the primordial energy of the moon combine can it form the primordial primordial energy of the primordial spirit."

"Below the Primordial Qi should be the Advanced Primordial Qi, and below that is the Ordinary Primordial Qi."

"The awakening of the Soul Spirit consumes the body's primordial energy, which is why it appears weak internally. To cultivate a second Soul Spirit as soon as possible, it needs to be replenished."

"Primordial Qi doesn't come from nowhere, and obtaining it is quite simple: it comes from consuming various kinds of food..."

Eating is fundamental for bloodline cultivators.

Not only do they need to be full, but they also need to eat well. The higher the cultivation level of a creature's bloodline, the more primordial energy it has in its body. Even if it can only digest one percent, it can still gradually accumulate the primordial energy for the awakening of its spirit.

Su Ji vividly remembered that after the Tiger King killed the pig demon leader, it specifically ate the pig demon leader's internal organs, which were the most concentrated part of the original energy.

The White Turtle Spirit General knows a lot, but it only lives a long time. It does not cultivate the bloodline path. In addition to the fact that it is easy to overdraw its lifespan after the bloodline path is injured, it is also afraid of being eaten as prey.

"The path of bloodlines truly is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak!"

After a moment of reflection, Su Ji noticed a hint of anger on Qian Feng's face and couldn't help but ask him a question.

Qian Feng already regarded Su Ji as his benefactor, so naturally he didn't hide anything from him.

"Coveting the beauty of the Pearl Maiden? Considering you a mortal enemy?"

Su Ji frowned slightly. Love and hate are the most unpredictable things; if the other party said that, they might actually do it.

Zhu Nu couldn't help but sigh: "That catfish demon pursued me in my younger days, but I know its bad reputation. I'm afraid its pursuit was just a pretense; it really coveted my dream-making abilities and treasures."

"Fortunately, the Guardian Spirit is here to oversee things, and I have a group of friends with me, so I was able to barely manage to cope."

"Otherwise, if we fall into its hands, even if we don't die, we'll probably be forced to make money using the Illusionary Dream Path..."

Just like the Dream Pearls sold at street stalls, they can give you everything you want in your dreams.

However, the creation of the Dream Pearl still requires spiritual materials as a foundation, making it much easier for the Pearl Maiden to cast spells using her natal pearl.

"It's so true!"

Su Ji understood the source of Qian Feng's anger, and even felt a hint of murderous intent.

Yan Tianchou immediately came up with a plan: "The catfish demon at the level of a Great Ghost General has ulterior motives towards the Pearl Maiden, and has already regarded Qian Feng as an obstacle. It has even come to the Shouyuan Spirit General's trade fair to show its power."

"Since that's the case, why not turn the tables on them..."

I originally intended to use "qi" and "qi" to distinguish them, but since listening to audiobooks wouldn't make that difference, I'll use "heaven and earth" and "higher and lower levels" to differentiate them instead.
