Chapter 187 Purchasing Pills
Tianhefang City can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first is the booth area. Most of the people doing business here are casual cultivators. It is somewhat like a trade fair held by the Liu family every six months.
It’s just that the stall area here, both in terms of specifications and quality, far exceeds the trade fairs held spontaneously by Liu family casual cultivators.
There is basically no threshold for setting up a stall here. You only need to pay five spiritual stones every day to set up a stall here.
The second part is the construction area. There are various types of buildings here. It is not just a place to sell alchemy and talismans. It is similar to various restaurants, teahouses, or inns for accommodation. They are all available.
Of course, if you want to open a shop here, the number of spiritual stones required is absolutely astronomical, so the Tianhe Sect basically rents out the shops here to those cultivating families.
It’s just that the spiritual stones collected are quite expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary cultivators.
You have to be at least a monk in the foundation building stage to have such financial resources and strength, and some shops in the core area may even have the shadow of some real people who form pills behind them.
The third part is the Dongfu area in the center.
The Tianhe Sect turned an area with the richest spiritual energy in Fang City into a cave. Through the spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy of the earth veins below was pulled, and the concentration of the spiritual energy gathered was even higher than that of the second-level spiritual veins.
It’s just that the cave only allows long-term rentals. Every time a contract is signed, it starts with one year, and the amount of spiritual stones collected is quite exaggerated.
In short, if you want to live here, spiritual stones are absolutely indispensable.
“It’s really eye-opening. I saw three or four shops selling elixirs along the way.”
I just entered Tianhefang City and took a brief stroll. Li Qingcong couldn't help but sigh.
Li Qing ran through the things he needed to buy in his mind as quickly as possible, placing the more important ones at the top.
The first is the elixir that can improve cultivation and spiritual power, which is very crucial for a cultivator with poor qualifications like him.
The second is the spiritual wood of high age. Of course, it is best to have some spiritual wood seeds, because in the world of immortality, no matter what it is, once it is of high age, the price will be impossible. Extremely low.
Although Li Qing currently possesses more than two thousand spiritual stones, if he really puts them in Tianhefang City, he may not even make a splash.
In addition, there are some things related to weapon refining.
The art of weapon refining is ultimately the foundation of one's life.
Now that I have the ability to refine low-grade magical weapons, as long as my weapon-refining methods become more sophisticated, I might consider leaving the Liu family and living in Tianhefang City for a long time.
"Huh! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take your time step by step!" Li Qing clenched his fists, turned around and came to a very impressive building.
Danding Pavilion!
Looking at the three gilded characters on the building, Li Qing quickly recalled the origin and background of this building.
"It is said that this is an elixir pavilion opened by Tianhe Sect in Fang City. It is also the elixir shop with the largest and most complete variety. It is far more reassuring than the shops opened by those cultivating immortal families."
" But even the price of elixirs is a bit more expensive than in other stores."
"Spending spiritual stones here doesn't have to be as sneaky as in the Liu family. I can visit every elixir shop. Once again, spending one to two hundred spirit stones in each shop will definitely not attract anyone's attention."
For those who are in the middle stage of Qi refining, they can spend one to two hundred spirit stones in Tianhefang City. The elixir is definitely not noticeable.
Thinking of this, Li Qing stepped up and walked into the building called Danding Pavilion.
As soon as his footsteps crossed the wooden threshold, a circle of restrictions placed around him lit up slightly.
“Huh?!” Li Qing glanced at this weird restriction in surprise.
"Brother Dao, don't worry, this layer of restrictions is just to isolate the noisy sounds from the outside world. It also blocks the fragrance of the elixirs in the building from leaking out. It is not an exploratory restriction!"
Together! The crisp voice sounded, and it sounded very sweet and pleasant.
Soon, a pretty girl monk with a rosy face came forward.
Her eyes are very clear, she is not very tall, but she seems a little clever and well-behaved.
"Oh! That's it, thank you fellow Taoist for your explanation!" Li Qing glanced at the girl gratefully, and then secretly felt shocked.
Later stage of Qi refining!
As expected of the Tianhe Sect, both humans and ghosts have higher cultivation levels than him!
After Li Qing entered the Danding Pavilion, he found that it was exactly what the girl said.
It was a noisy and noisy environment outside just now, but it suddenly became peaceful and quiet once inside.
And it is filled with a strong scent of elixir, which makes people energetic just by smelling it.
The surrounding furnishings and decorations are nothing surprising, very classical and elegant.
On the shelves next to the wall, there are many porcelain bottles made of white jade, all of which are filled with various kinds of elixirs.
“What kind of elixirs does this fellow Taoist plan to buy?” The girl’s smile was very pure and pleasant, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Li Qing felt uneasy in his heart, and he immediately said: "I want to buy some pills that can improve my cultivation and spiritual power. I don't know."
The girl smiled and nodded, and quickly led Li Qing there. Next to a shelf with elixirs.
“Our Danding Pavilion has three types of elixirs that can improve your cultivation during the Qi Refining period.”
“Fellow Taoist, you are in the middle stage of Qi Refining. I suggest you buy this Zhong Peiyuan Pill and Guangling Pill!”
“I don’t need to say more about Peiyuan Pill. This kind of pill has a significant effect on monks in the late stage of Qi refining.”
"And this kind of Guangling Pill is a kind of pill that was accidentally made by Guangling Zhenren, a supreme elder of our Tianhe Sect in his spare time many years ago. It is characterized by less erysipelas and is useful for the early and middle stages of Qi refining. The effect is obvious, but the effect will decrease a lot in the later stages of Qi refining."
Listening to the girl's introduction, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, elixirs that were rarely seen at the Liu family's casual cultivator trade fairs were now sold in three types at the Danding Pavilion.
"What's the price?" Li Qing asked with concern.
The girl smiled sweetly and took out two porcelain bottles from the shelf. She introduced: "This is the Peiyuan Pill, which sells for fifty-five spiritual stones. This bottle is the Guangling Pill. It only costs thirty-five spiritual stones!”
Not cheap! But within the tolerance range!
Li Qing pursed his lips, then showed a hesitant expression, and finally said with some distress:
"Well, I want five Guangling Pills and two Peiyuan Pills! "
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the girl's face became even brighter, and she immediately prepared the elixir for Li Qing.
"Chenghui two hundred and eighty-five spiritual stones!"
It's a pity that no matter how sweet the smile is, it can't heal the distressed feeling Li Qing felt when he took out the spirit stone.
Two hundred and eighty-five spiritual stones are almost as much as an ordinary spiritual miner’s income from mining spiritual stones for a year!
After clearing the money and goods, Li Qing walked out of the Tianhe Sect's shop with the elixir he had obtained.
Soon, the hustle and bustle outside Fangshi filled his ears again, and Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
“We have to hurry up. I’m taking a month’s leave this time. Excluding the round trip time, I can only stay in Tianhefang City for about seven days at most.”
After receiving the first batch of elixirs, Li Qing did not stop and started wandering around the construction area in Tianhefang City again.
After passing a building similar to a gladiatorial arena, Li Qing could clearly sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy and various cheering sounds coming from inside.
"This fellow Taoist, this is my first time in Tianhefang City. What is inside here?" Li Qing pulled over a monk who had just come out and asked curiously.
"Hey, this is the Colosseum opened by the Tianhe Sect. Some monks who have raised monsters will come here to participate in beast battles. They can earn a lot of spiritual stones every time they win."
“If there are no monsters, you can also participate in betting. If you win the bet, you can also earn a lot of spiritual stones!”
"Hahaha, let's not talk anymore. I just made a small profit. I'm going to visit Lingfeng Tower today."
The monk who earned the Lingshi was obviously in a good mood. After answering Li Qing's question, With ecstatic steps, he rushed towards another suspended island.
Colosseum? There is such a place!
The immortal cultivators in Tianhefang City are really good at playing, and each one’s tricks are fresher than the last.
Li Qing glanced twice and thought of the rice bucket for a moment, but quickly suppressed the thought.
Fantong is a good guy with mixed blood. Although he is a tiger-like monster, his combat power is not necessarily much stronger than other monsters.
The two have been dependent on each other for so many years, but there is no need for him to take risks to earn this kind of spiritual stone for himself.
Li Qing shook his head and casually asked about the conditions for admission.
It turns out that this Colosseum does not open often. After all, monsters are very rare nowadays. It will only be opened once there are enough monsters signed up to participate in the battle.
The battle between monsters can be considered fair. They are all at the same level. It is rare for a monster in the early first level to fight against a monster in the middle of the first level.
This also added a lot of suspense, so much so that countless monks gathered around every opening.
"It seems that the life of an immortal cultivator is not just boring cultivation, but life also needs polishing by other elements." Li Qing sighed, but had no intention of watching.
Because the tickets are not cheap, the admission ticket costs ten spiritual stones!
It’s enough for him to set up a stall in the square’s stall area for two days, and today’s beast fight is coming to an end, so it’s really not worthwhile to buy a ticket to watch it again.
“Let’s watch some beast battles after we leave the Liu family. Time and spirit stones don’t allow it right now!”
Li Qing, who had a clear understanding of his current situation, immediately shook his head and walked towards the shop selling elixirs from other families, preparing to buy some more elixirs for cultivation.
He knows very well how poor his qualifications for the four spiritual roots are. In the world of immortal cultivation, these spiritual roots are called miscellaneous spiritual roots, which are only better than those of pseudo-spiritual monks who have all five spiritual roots. Up some.
At first, Li Qing thought that he had a pretty good qualification for possessing spiritual roots capable of sensing four attributes. Later, when he learned the truth, he was shocked and speechless.
He was short of water in the five elements, so he practiced fire-attribute skills.
For ordinary casual cultivators, without the support of more resources, they can basically be said to be invincible when they reach the late stage of Qi refining.
Li Qing estimated that without the elixir, it would have taken him at least more than twenty years to reach the edge of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and then he would have to be stuck at the bottleneck for a long time, relying on time to polish it.
If you are lucky, you may be able to reach the seventh level of Qi refining when you are sixty or seventy years old, and then it will be even more difficult to improve.
It is worth mentioning that the longevity of monks in the Qi Refining Stage does not increase significantly. Even in the later stage of Qi Refining, it is quite rare to live for more than 120 years.
This can only be achieved by refining one's energy for a lifetime and rarely fighting with others.
If you are injured, your vitality will be damaged, and your life span will naturally be shortened.
After all, in the world of immortality, fighting with others is always inevitable.
Either for chance, or for hatred.
“Grow up steadily and live a low-key life!” Li Qing whispered to himself.
