Slow and immortal

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

After leaving Xianyumen, looking for a secluded place, Xiao Yao put away the tokens of the inner disciples of Xianyumen on her waist, changed her clothes, and then flew to the southwest with Yujian.

She didn't go to the nearby large market opened by her gate, but chose to be in the outskirts of Yongzhou thousands of miles away from Wanhua Mountain, where there is a small market for immortal cultivators. Although this market is not very large, it is It also has everything. What Xiao Yao is interested in is that this place used to be the foundation of a famous sect of cultivating immortals in ancient times, and there are many books compiled by ancient powerful people.

In the cultivator's market, the coins used by ordinary people, including gold and silver, cannot be circulated. In the world of cultivators, only spirit stones containing spiritual energy are used as currency in circulation.Generally, low-grade spirit stones and middle-grade spirit stones are more common. When it comes to high-grade spirit stones, only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage will use them more. As for top-grade spirit stones, they have probably never been seen in the entire Taiji world. Bar.

In most sects, the allocation of spirit stones is based on the contributions made by the disciples in the sect. Generally, the outstanding disciples with good aptitude and potential will be given priority, followed by ordinary inner disciples, and finally the outer disciples. Disciple.For example, in the Xianyu Sect, it is stipulated that the top-ranking foundation-building disciples in the sect who perform well can get five middle-grade spirit stones a month, ordinary disciples get three, and outer disciples can only get six low-grade spirit stones. stone.

If you usually practice in a sect, it’s fine, after all, the local sect will provide it, and you can borrow exercises and spells within the sect with the contribution points of the sect, but the spiritual stones distributed by the sect outside the sect are far from enough. Those pills, Magical treasures and exercises do not need spirit stones, the higher the grade, the more expensive they are, so except for the most core disciples, many fellow disciples will find ways to earn spirit stones in the sect or outside.

Those with strong abilities can rely on robbing the resources of the weak, and those with special skills, especially those who are alchemy and weapon refining, can rely on their craftsmanship to make a living. Other than that, it is very difficult to earn spirit stones in any other way.Insufficient spiritual energy and a sharp decline in the reserves of spiritual stones are the root causes of these. Today's world of cultivating immortals is no longer as introverted and gentle as it was in ancient times. How can the weak rule the law.

It can only be said that now is an impetuous era of cultivating immortals. The shortage of cultivation items has led to the intensification of resource plundering wars. From sects to cultivators, all follow the principle of power. Although killing and seizing treasures is prohibited in various sects, it is not in the outside world It is often unsatisfactory, and the sect even encourages small-scale fighting and plundering between disciples and other sects, which is called "extraterrestrial experience".There are countless contests and comparisons between sects.

However, these truths were things that Xiao Yao couldn't see when she was arguing for the sect. At that time, she was just a delicate flower well protected by her master. Never had such a vision before.

Someone said: Only when you are at the bottom of the world can you see clearly, so Xiao Yao is weak and poor now, and there are only a few pitiful low-grade spirit stones in her storage bag, and there is only one One magic weapon, the rest of the space is empty and wasted.

Fortunately, she didn't consume much spirit stones, because she couldn't absorb the spirit energy inside, and didn't need to restore mana. Pills and spirit herbs had no effect on her, and she didn't need to buy exercises, which could save a lot.

Even so, when she saw some practical magic weapons, she was still out of pocket. As a result, she never bought a magic weapon in the past 200 years. Almost all the magic weapons she had before were exhausted in large and small battles. The only one left The flying sword "Qingfeng" is a middle-grade treasure given to me by my master after I successfully formed the alchemy.

Magical treasures and spells can't be bought, and exercises are useless. Only some jade slips of experience from ancient powers can benefit me a lot, and I can always have a closer understanding of the Tao.

Less than an hour after flying in the air, Xiao Yao came to a wasteland on the outskirts of Yongzhou city, and stopped in front of an inconspicuous soil slope. In front of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary wasteland, an ordinary mound of soil, but in fact this is The entrance of the market place is just covered with some simple tricks and restrictions. Even if ordinary people approach it, they will be confused and will not enter by mistake. Only immortals can discover it.

I saw Xiao Yao walking towards the slope without hesitation. After passing through a barrier as thin as air, a city appeared in front of her eyes. Through the tall city gate, the bustling market place appeared in front of Xiao Yao's eyes, which was very natural. She quickly blended into the crowd.

The market for cultivators originally existed for cultivators to exchange items with each other. With the development of history, the market has continued to grow, and the exchange has only accounted for a small part of it. In order to form a climate, major businesses will be stationed in the market for a long time, and then attract a group of mobile immortal cultivators to sell or exchange some items.

Of course, the most important and most attractive thing is the auction in the market, because generally rare or top-quality treasures and elixir are not directly sold in the market, they are all auctioned through the auction house, and the highest price wins, so I want to buy Good things must participate in the auction, which is also the highlight of any market. The size and reputation of the market depends on how rare the auction items are. The more rare and top-quality treasures, the more attractive the market will be. Many powerful people.

Usually, auctions are also divided into various levels. For example, there are foundation-building auctions for the foundation-building period, golden-elixir stage auctions, and so on.Most of them cannot participate in the auction across different ranks, but there are still some exceptions. For example, some children with relatively strong identities and backgrounds can enter through special passages.

Xiao Yao didn't have any money, so naturally she wouldn't go to any auctions. She mainly searched around the stalls of these mobile immortal cultivators in the market to see if she could find some good things.

She walked through the stalls with the flow of people, and there was an endless stream of hawkers asking for advice and bargaining in her ears. As long as she got a little closer to some stalls, the stall owners would very enthusiastically recommend items on their stalls to her.

Looking at those strange exercises and elixirs, Xiao Yao always shook her head and smiled. Even if she didn't buy them, she still enjoyed wandering around the market, listening to the cries of selling, watching all kinds of cultivators. those.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone peddling not far away:

"Come and see, in addition to all kinds of top-quality skills, spells, alchemy, talisman foundations, formations, this store also sells all kinds of powerful experience in cultivating immortals, as well as essays and biographies written by famous masters. Maybe you can get an epiphany. Fellow Taoists who have passed by, don’t miss it!”

Hearing the experience essay of a cultivator, Xiao Yao immediately leaned over with interest.

I saw that the stall occupied a lot of space, and the stall was full of jade slips and a few paper books or monster skins. The stall owner was a gray-haired old man over half a century old, but he In the early stage of Ji's cultivation, the most conspicuous thing on his face was his red rosacea nose, and he was wearing a wide Taoist robe, because the Taoist robe was also gray, with some unknown stains on it, making him look a bit sloppy.

Seeing someone approaching, the old Taoist hurriedly put on a smile and said:

"Fellow Taoist, what do you need? Although I dare not say that this is the most complete bookstore in the entire Taigu Continent, it is definitely the most complete in this market. Even the big business houses here can't compare I have all the books here, please choose whatever you like.”
