Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

The Federation's cultivation techniques are truly a game-changer in this world!

Judging from this, the cultivators of the Dao Platform in this realm are probably not very strong, Chu Xuan thought to himself.

Stepping into the market town, Chu Xuan looked around and saw that this so-called market town was not much larger than Xu Family Village. There were two main roads that intersected at the center of the market town, neatly dividing the entire market town into four parts. Two-story buildings were located on both sides of the streets.

Further on, there were small courtyards, the only difference from Xujia Village being that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was much richer, about 30% richer than that of Xujia Village.

Although it's not much, it's not a small amount either. Staying here long-term can be quite beneficial.

The environment is nice, but the cultivation level of the people coming and going is rather low. At a glance, they are all at the first level of Body Refinement, and very few can reach the second level of Qi Refinement.

Of course, this is calculated according to the Federation's standards. Chu Xuan doesn't know much about this world, so he can only make a rough estimate.

If one is practicing a low-level cultivation technique, a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Induction is roughly equivalent to the first level of Qi Refining.

The moment this idea came to mind, even Chu Xuan felt it was somewhat absurd; it was truly outrageous.

Even if the Federation's cultivation system is superior and its techniques are of a higher level, the gap between the two shouldn't be this large. This is, after all, a cultivation world; it shouldn't be this bad, right?

However, upon further reflection, it seems to make some sense. I am cultivating immortal scriptures, so I cannot judge others by the standards of immortal scriptures.

In the Federation, completing a proper cultivation method requires the condensation of four Dao Seals, while ordinary cultivation methods in the Federation only require the condensation of one Dao Seal.

The number of Dao Seals differs by four times between the two, although the increase in magical power gradually decreases as the number of Dao Seals increases.

The second Dao Seal increases the power of the Dharma by only half that of the first Dao Seal, the third by only 30%, and the fourth by only 20%.

Even so, condensing four Dao Seals can double the amount of spiritual energy in the body, making the first level of Qi Refining in cultivating immortal scriptures no worse than the second level of Qi Refining in cultivating ordinary techniques.

In addition, the Federation's cultivation system is much stronger than that of this world. The Federation's Qi cultivation method uses the twelve meridians, the Qi Sea, the Descent Palace, and the Niwan Palace, which are the three major dantians, while this world's Qi-guiding method only uses the Qi Sea of ​​the dantian.

If you calculate it this way, it seems quite reasonable that my first level of Qi Refining is equivalent to the initial stage of Qi Induction in this world.

While constantly comparing the cultivation systems of the two worlds in his mind, Chu Xuan didn't stop walking and merged into the crowd.

He spread his divine sense to gather information from the conversations of those around him.

After walking around the main road twice, Chu Xuan had a pretty good grasp of the situation in the entire market.

The entire market is roughly divided into three areas, with the most central one being the market center, which is the core of the entire market and where the foundation of the market's grand formation is located.

The outer sect stewards of the Xuanming Sect, who guard the market, are also stationed there. In addition, there are four shops directly run by the Xuanming Sect: Lingbao Pavilion, Baifu Tower, Lingzhen Garden, and Baicao Hall, which sell pills, formations, runes, and magical artifacts.

It is the place with the highest quality and most complete variety of goods in the entire market.

An enforcement team composed of outer disciples of the Xuanming Sect was also stationed there, making this area the undisputed core of the entire market.

Next are these two-story buildings on the crossroads of this market town. Each floor is a shop selling various items.

There are shops selling demon beast meat, spirit wine, puppets, spirit beasts, and even shops selling fellow cultivators at specific times. Of course, the most common types of shops are those selling pills, arrays, talismans, and artifacts.

Even with the four Xuanming Sect directly operated stores in the city center, pills, formations, talismans, and magic weapons are the four major categories of cultivation arts and are the hard currency among cultivators.

Those four shops cater to the high-end market, leaving a large market share in the mid-to-low-end segment, while this shop has taken over the mid-range market.

As for the low-end market, we need to talk about the bottom level of the market. In the alleys around the main street, you can see stalls everywhere. As long as you don't block other people's doorways, you can set up your stall however you like.

The cultivation levels of the cultivators in the market are also quite impressive. Eighty percent of them are at the early stage of Qi Refining, and very few are at the middle stage. Once they reach the middle stage of Qi Refining, they can basically become shopkeepers.

As for the late stage of Qi Refining, Chu Xuan has never seen one. People like that are unlikely to be loitering around on the streets.

After walking around, Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. This Qingyuefang was far weaker than he had imagined. If it was only this weak, let alone his current self, even when he had just graduated from high school and reached the third level of Body Refinement, he could have come here to make his way, and might even have been considered a master.

It is important to know that Qi Refining has twelve main meridians, while Body Refining only has nine physical transformations. Although Qi Refining is good at ranged attacks and Body Refining is good at close combat, overall, at the same level, Body Refining is stronger than Qi Refining.

The third level of Body Refinement is comparable to the fourth level of Qi Refinement. Of course, while they may be comparable, in a real fight, the winner will depend on their skill.

Even a late-stage Body Refinement expert is just a target if they can't get close. Once they do get close, even a high-level Qi Refining cultivator might not be able to defeat a low-level Body Refinement cultivator.

Back when he was at the third level of body refinement, he was still practicing the Immortal Scripture, and in this market, he was considered a powerful figure.

Having a general understanding, Chu Xuan headed straight for the target shop. The shop was very close to the core area of ​​the market. There was no plaque at the entrance, only a signboard with the four large characters "Cave House for Rent".

As soon as they reached the door, a smiling young man greeted them, "This humble servant greets the Immortal Master!"

"Immortal Master, please come inside. We have all the cave dwellings in Qingyuefang. Whatever kind of cave dwelling you want, we can provide it for you."

"We can rent individual houses, courtyard houses, and even shops. Once you've chosen one, we'll take you to the garrison headquarters to sign a spiritual contract. It's backed by a celestial sect, so it's trustworthy and reliable."

The young man's mouth moved like a machine gun, quickly and thoroughly explaining the details of renting a room.

They're all real estate agents; their sales skills are top-notch.

"Your eloquence is quite good. Come on, take me to see it."

"Thank you for your praise, Immortal Master. We have all kinds of cave dwellings here, but I don't know what kind you prefer so I can recommend one for you."

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's find a small courtyard house, somewhere I can live alone, a bit far from the main street, but not too close to the edge of the market."

"I understand. You're looking for a secluded and elegant cave dwelling. We have one here; it just became available last month. Shall I show it to you?"

"good!"

"Okay!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the array jade."

The young man ran back to the shop and soon came out with a piece of spirit jade. Chu Xuan glanced at it and saw that it was inscribed with "Xuan Seventy-Seven"!
