For those young monks, flying directly over a distance of thousands or tens of thousands of miles would cost them half their lives. What if they encountered some dangerous robberies along the way?

It would be much more convenient to spend some spirit stones and just take a ride.

Moreover, how could a fairy boat that is hundreds or thousands of meters long, and that travels back and forth regularly, be fully loaded with cultivators every time? About two-thirds or even three-quarters of the remaining space is occupied by ordinary mortals with little cultivation.

Well, most of them are businessmen, and very few are young people who want to travel and see the world.

After paying a small amount of ship fare, they were allowed to board the ship.

……

Three days later, a fairy boat hundreds of meters long was moving quickly in the vast sky.

After Qiu Yi boarded the ship and experienced it personally, he saw a world of cultivation that was completely different from what he had imagined.

Through the hollow windows, one can see the clouds outside moving backwards and gusts of wind, but the inside of the cabin is as warm as spring, and even seems lively because of a group of people talking and laughing.

In his original expectation, there were both cultivators and mortals on a large ship. Logically, they should be clearly separated. Under the warnings of their predecessors, both sides tacitly agreed not to interfere. After all, the cultivators were too strong. If they were really unhappy, they could kill many mortals in minutes.

But the scene before him surprised him greatly.

In the spacious cabin, merchants with enthusiastic faces sat on the ground in order.

As if to make a fool of himself, he placed some inconspicuous knives, swords, stones, wood... scattered around himself.

The young monks opened their eyes wide and looked around curiously, looking here and there, touching this and that. If they liked something, they would drop a small bottle and take it away. The vendors at the stalls looked overjoyed. It was really an eye-opener for them.

"Sister Xiangyun, what is going on? Are those young monks who have just left home coming here to take advantage of the situation?" Looking at the behavior of those young people, classmate Qiu Yi also wanted to join in.

"That's about right." Sister Qi Ling seemed to have seen this kind of scene many times and was not surprised at all.

“In your mind, probably many natural treasures come from some secret realms or blessed places, but in fact, there are also many good things that are lost in the human world, such as a war that destroyed a sect, a cultivator who died silently, or minerals that broke out of the ground due to the turbulence of the earth veins.

It is true that most of the resources are in the hands of the immortal sects, but the world is so big that there will always be fish that slip through the net and are picked up by mortals. Some are minerals, some are beautiful jade, and some are lost ancient objects and broken ancient artifacts. These things are useless if they are left in their hands, so they might as well be given to those young monks who are determined to practice."

"Oh!"

Qiu Yi held his chin and looked around for a while, and found that this was similar to those antique streets on Earth where people just took their chances.

"Hey, if that's the case, then it seems that they didn't bargain. Mortals contributed the treasures they found, so what was in the small bottle they got?"

"It's just some common elixirs that cultivators don't need."

"Elixir?"

"For example, there are the Peiyuan Pills that strengthen the body and prolong life, the Baijie Pills that heal injuries and illnesses, or the Yangyan Pills that maintain appearance, and the Qiangyang Pills that improve sexual function... It sounds like these pills are very valuable, but using them on cultivators is completely different from using them on mortals. Some small sects even make profits by refining these pills and reselling them to others. So they are so happy that they can exchange these pills for things like scrap copper and rotten iron, so why would they bargain?"

The young man suddenly realized that if this was the case, then there was nothing more to say.

Both parties are willing, and it seems that this may be a platform that the major immortal sects intend to open for communication between mortals and cultivators, so that everyone can get what they need.

The young cultivators hope to try their luck, while many mortals are eagerly looking forward to the immortal medicines, such as the Yuan-nourishing Pill, the Beauty-nourishing Pill, the Yang-enhancing Pill... As long as they pick up something that looks like good stuff, they can exchange it for these treasures from the immortal sect. Who would work so hard then?

Damn, the Immortal Sect has complete control over this, okay?

Qiu Yi also became interested. He mingled among the group of people and kept looking around, touching things like rings, bracelets, stones, iron swords, tiles, etc. He looked at them very seriously, but his eyes were too short to see anything.

"Ahem... Sister, is there any real stuff in here?"

In the end, the young man had to shamelessly ask the spirit sister who was floating above his sea of ​​​​qi and absorbing wisps of Xuanhuang Qi.

"Don't dream. Occasionally someone finds a good treasure, but you think you can get such a good thing? Ninety-nine percent of them are useless garbage. For example, those broken ancient artifacts, can you repair them or what? Those ores with exotic materials, can you forge or purify them? After buying them, you can't even get back the cost, so why waste your energy!"

Ye Xiangyun didn't even bother to look at it, because she had already learned from the previous experience: the owner Ye Junxi ten thousand years ago came back empty-handed, and she didn't believe Xiao Yi would be able to gain anything.

"If you're unwilling, it's okay to give it a try. It won't cost you many spirit stones anyway."

Sister Qi Ling did not try to stop the young man from his impulse. As a young man, you should not turn back until you hit the wall. Only after you have suffered losses do you know what reality is.

"Then I'll take a look."

Seeing that Sister Qi Ling really didn't stop him, he actually started to think about it and studied it curiously as he walked.

then……

Three shriveled seeds. Damn, are you sure they are not just used to make up the number?

What is this green copper block covered with rust? Are you serious, store owner?

The white four-story tower has so many cracks on it that it will probably break into pieces if you touch it. Do you have the nerve to take it out?

And this jar with a ghost face painted on it is so ugly, must it be made by your own hands?

……

After watching all this, Qiu Yi was really numb.

Let's not talk about anything else, at least give me a more shiny and beautiful appearance, okay? With this shabby appearance, you don't really think he will buy it as an antique, do you?

He felt that most of them might be counterfeit and shoddy products produced recently, used to make up the numbers.

The boss of the last stall was the most conscientious of all the bosses. He at least wiped all the things thoroughly, removing all the dirt and dust. It looked much more eye-catching than other stalls.

When he arrived, there were already two young men about his age studying them. Qiu Yi didn't mind. There were more than twenty small objects in total. He squatted down and randomly picked up a jade pendant and a ring to study them.

The jade pendant was trapezoidal in shape and dark blue in color. It didn't look like it was made of good material. There was a pair of flying phoenixes carved on both sides. It was quite exquisite, with some artistic skills, but Qiu Yi couldn't tell what kind of magical weapon it was. He secretly transferred his magic power to it for a long time, but it was of no use. He put it back on the stall without thinking too much.

As for this dull black iron ring, there was nothing special about it, and it didn't transfer any mana...

"Young people nowadays actually have such pure magic power. I have finally waited for you."

Ok?

A voice with a sense of vicissitudes came, making Qiu Yi stare and look at the ring in his hand in disbelief. Was it an illusion or auditory hallucination?

As if the young man was a little dazed, the old voice continued to sound in his mind.

"I was originally a saint, but when I was trying to reach the realm of the Immortal Lord, I was killed by my most valued disciple. Only a wisp of my soul remains in this ring."

Qiu Yi: “???”

"After thousands of years, I finally met my destined person today. Young man, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Qiu Yi: “!!!”

“As long as you avenge me in the future, I will teach you everything I know. I guarantee that you will break through the third realm in five years, the fourth realm in ten years, and fifty years later…”

Qiu Yi: “…”

The taste is too strong!

Where have I seen this plot before?

After being stunned for a while, the boy quickly called out to the spirit sister in the sea of ​​qi: "Sister Xiangyun, come out and have a look, I really found a treasure."

"Is this true? Xiao Yi, you are not lying to me?" Ye Xiangyun, who was about to lie down to rest, was dumbfounded. No way, what kind of luck is Xiao Yi? He even encountered something with a probability of one in a hundred thousand million?

Fake, must be fake.

Qiu Yi communicated quickly with Sister Qi Ling, but the old voice couldn't help but asked: "Young man, have you thought about it? After you become my disciple, you will receive the teachings of a saint..."

But just when both sides insisted and he was about to ask a few questions tentatively, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the ring from his hand while he was not paying attention.

"Brother, you have studied this ring for a long time and still can't make a decision, but I like it very much and fell in love with it at first sight. How about you give it to me?"

A faint laugh sounded beside him. Qiu Yi turned his head and saw a handsome young man. He was playing with the ring calmly, with a strange light in his eyes. He nodded at Qiu Yi and threw a larger jade bottle to the stall owner.

"Boss, I'll give it all to you. No need to look for it."

After saying that, he seemed to be worried that Qiu Yi would come over to bother him, so he quickly took a few steps and disappeared into the crowd, leaving Qiu Yi standing there alone in confusion.

"Sister Xiangyun?"

"Well, I'm here."

"Did I get cut off by someone just now?"

"Yeah, that should be it. Your reaction is too obvious. People can see it right away. Some people are like that. They don't have the ability themselves, so they just stare at the expressions of people like you. Once you show any strange expressions, they will wait for an opportunity to take advantage of you."

"..."

Qiu Yi looked up at the ceiling speechlessly. What was going on? Why did he always encounter such a thing?

Wouldn't it be nice to give him the treatment of a protagonist?

"Don't take it to heart, Xiao Yi. That guy is full of nonsense. Almost none of his words are true. What saint? I think he is barely at the sixth level. He is probably being hunted by someone, and his remaining soul is surviving in a ring, waiting for an opportunity to seize another body. Do you really think that what you picked up is a treasure? Good things also depend on whether you have the ability to enjoy them."

Perhaps because she saw the boy's lost look, Sister Qi Ling had to comfort him softly.

Your self-confidence won't really be hit, right?

"Sister, I can roughly guess it, it's just a little annoying." He smacked his lips uncomfortably. He knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch. It was just that the man's behavior just now was a little disgusting. Then he glanced at the boss who was still setting up the stall.

Is this how you do business?

Do you have any business sense?

"Sir... Sir..." The shop owner was just overjoyed because someone was so generous, but now he found that there was a young man staring at him with a dark face, looking like a real evil star. He immediately trembled all over and broke out in a cold sweat.

Trembling, he packed up the remaining dozen or so small items and handed them to the young man: "My lord, please calm down. I have no choice. How about I give all of these to you? It's also my sincerity."

Qiu Yi took the package and took a look. They were all small items, including jade pendants and earrings, as well as some jewelry such as hairpins.

After looking around, I found that only a bright silver hairpin seemed to be more pleasing to the eye...

Chapter 22 It’s time for me to cheat

The silver hairpin was not that rare, and was even a little too plain. Only the color and appearance were acceptable.

It is about the length of a palm, silver-white all over, with no patterns or carvings, and as slender as a chopstick, with a heavy feeling.

He tried to bend it again, but it didn't budge!

Wow, the quality is really good. I can’t say anything else, but the quality is definitely far better than anything else in the world.

This is one of the rare pearl hairpin jewelry Qiu Yi has seen from the world of immortal cultivation. Although it is not as diverse and exquisitely carved as those on Earth, it also has its own unique characteristics.

By the way, my sister hasn’t worn this kind of jewelry yet, how about giving it to her?

"Xiao Yi, you want to take the things that the roadside stall owner gave you and give them back to the owner?"

As if she had noticed his thoughts, Sister Qi Ling couldn't help but complain a few words.

"..."

Qiu Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately put this unrealistic idea behind his mind.

"How could that be? This kind of thing is not worthy of my sister. I will definitely give my sister a unique treasure in the future."

"Oh, it's just for the master..." Ye Xiangyun said lazily.

"..." The young man calmly increased the speed of refining Xuanhuang Qi for Sister Qiling, and said generously: "Of course, how could I forget Sister Xiangyun? Whatever Sister wants, as long as you say a word, I will pick even the stars in the sky for you."

Sister Qi Ling: “…”

He is so smooth-talking and only knows how to say things that can only fool young girls.

. . . . . .

He was on guard and asked the monks around him for information about the young man who had snatched his ring. Qiu Yi felt that there was no point in staying, so he packed up his spoils and returned to his and his sister's room.

On the cushion, the elder sister in a snow-white dress was meditating with her eyes closed. The Taoist charm flowed around her body, and colorful lights danced, surrounding the elder sister in the middle, making her look like an otherworldly fairy.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi was only amazed for a moment and did not interrupt.

It can only be said that his sister is much more enthusiastic about practicing than him. She meditates and practices when she has nothing to do. Now it only takes five or six days to ride on the spirit boat, but his sister has never left the house once, which makes the young man amazed.

Even Qiu Yi felt that he could not continue to degenerate. After going out for a short relaxation, he did not bother to admire his sister's beautiful face. He sat down beside her in a proper manner and began his own practice.

Ye Junxi curled the corners of her mouth and had no other reaction.

Student Qiu Yi is currently at the third level. If he wants to continue practicing, he will aim for the fourth level, Yuandan.

The third stage is about refining spiritual consciousness and becoming a true cultivator, while the fourth stage, Yuandan, is about cultivating the physical body.

After reaching the peak of the third realm, with the spiritual consciousness being refined, the spiritual veins rumbling, the sea of ​​​​qi nourishing, and coupled with the baptism of thunder and lightning, a Yuandan that gathers the essence of the physical body will be condensed.

If the fifth realm has the Yuanshen, which allows the cultivator to perform more fancy operations, then the Yuandan of the fourth realm is a realm that unilaterally improves combat power.

To put it simply, the fourth realm mainly improves your internal attributes such as agility, strength, spirit, physique, etc. in all aspects, while the fifth realm mainly unlocks various active skills for you that were previously inaccessible.

Qiu Yi was naturally very interested in this realm, and he worked very hard when practicing, but...

"Don't be so anxious. It's only been half a year since you broke through. Why are you in such a hurry to break through to the fourth level?"

Sister Qi Ling, however, held an opposing opinion to the boy's idea.

From ancient times to the present, how many practitioners have been working diligently and cautiously, aspiring to polish every realm to perfection. Unless it is a special case, they can spend twenty years polishing and will never spend ten years to take shortcuts.
