More than a month later, within the borders of the Kingdom of Xuan and the Yun Chuan Continent, there was a huge meandering valley. The place was bustling with activity, and it was a scene of peace and prosperity.
At this moment, a young man in a grey robe with an ordinary face was walking on a stone street in the valley. As he walked, he looked at the shops on both sides of the street.
It was Liu Ming, who had left the Barbarian Ghost Sect.
After learning about the Qinzhou Market from Gui Ruquan, Liu Ming left the Sect, determined the direction, and headed straight here.
Speaking of which, as one of the three major markets jointly established by the sects of the Kingdom of Xuan, the Qinzhou Market was quite famous in the Yun Chuan Continent compared to the Wei Zhou Market.
This was because Qinzhou, where the Xuan Chuan Mountain Range was located, was very close to the Yun Chuan Continent. Due to the war with the Sea Race in recent years, under the pressure of the powerful Sea Race, the human Sect on the Yun Chuan Continent united against a common enemy and jointly established the Yun Chuan Alliance. The relationship between the major Sect was not as hostile as before.
Therefore, in the Qinzhou Market, cultivators from the Yun Chuan Continent often came to trade, bringing many special items that the Kingdom of Xuan didn't have. This attracted many Loose Cultivators and clans, making the place extremely lively.
The entire Qinzhou Market was in an east-west direction in the valley. The buildings were high and low, some were tall, some were small, and there were inns and restaurants.
Although it was jointly established by the five Sect of the Kingdom of Xuan, because it was the closest to the Nine Enchantment Sect, a small part of the market was personally supervised by the disciples of the Nine Enchantment Sect. The other part was rented to the clans and Loose Cultivators who did business here.
A few days ago, after landing nearby, Liu Ming didn't immediately enter the valley. Instead, he changed into a grey robe and put away all the items that could show that he was a Spirit Master of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. After making himself look like a normal Loose Cultivator, he entered the market.
At this time, Liu Ming had already sold the skin and fangs of the Fiendish Python that he had obtained in the Demon Subduing Tower of the Prime Devil Sect in several shops, exchanging them for about 50,000 to 60,000 spirit stones.
Although the Fiendish Python's skin was a very good material for refining soft armor as a beastkin of the Condensation Period later stage, it was far inferior to the Crimson Hydra Leather Armor that Liu Ming already had. As for the Fiendish Python's fangs, Liu Ming already had a few good quality spiritual weapons, so he sold them all after a little consideration.
Even so, when the shopkeepers saw the materials Liu Ming took out, their fervent gazes were enough to show how precious they were.
After all, there were not many beastkins of the Condensation Period in the entire Yunchuan, not to mention the existence of the Condensation Period later stage that was close to the Crystallization Period.
As for the fist-sized Fiendish Python's eye, it was handed over to a well-known Condensation Period alchemist in the market to refine the Spirit Master level elixir "Wuhua Pill".
When he learned alchemy from Fan Baizi in the capital of Da Xuan City, he had seen Fan Baizi refine this elixir. It was said that it needed to use the eyes of the Fiendish Python as the main material. It belonged to the intermediate level elixir. After taking it, it could clear one's mind and see through the fog within several feet. It was very effective in cracking some formations and illusions.
The Fiendish Python's eye came from the Fiendish Python of the Condensation Period later stage. Although it had some effect of clearing one's mind and eyes after swallowing it, it was not as obvious as the effect after refining it into elixir. Liu Ming had a small achievement in alchemy. Although he had a seventy to eighty percent success rate in refining some elixirs of the Spirit Apostle Stage, Wuhua Pill was a Spirit Master level elixir. Firstly, there was no elixir recipe, and secondly, he lacked experience. It was better to hand it over to an experienced alchemist to refine.
Not long after, Liu Ming came to an inconspicuous pavilion in the northeast corner of the market. He narrowed his eyes and immediately stepped in.
"Senior Qian, Elder Liu has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me." As soon as he entered, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming nodded slightly and followed the man through the pavilion. Along a gravel path behind the building, they came to the door of a stone cave about twenty feet high built along the mountain.
The man took out a token and swept it over a dent on the side of the door. The stone door opened slowly, and a faint smell of elixir came from inside.
"Senior Qian, Elder Liu said that when you arrive, you can enter directly. He is waiting in the Pill Hall. Please."
"Thank you."
Liu Ming nodded calmly, then he entered the cave alone. After passing through a corridor, a lobby of several ten feet wide appeared in front of him. There were several other passages behind the lobby. It seemed to be a different world.
There was a round stone table in the middle of the lobby. An old man in linen clothes with a long white beard was sitting there. He was holding a slightly red pill in his hand and carefully examining it. The joy on his face was indescribable. There was a long and narrow jade box in front of the table.
"Mr. Qian is really a punctual person. This is the Wuhua Pill you asked me to refine."
Seeing Liu Ming come in, the old man in linen clothes changed his expression. He didn't say any nonsense. He just pushed in the air with one hand, and the jade box on the table flew to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming reached out and caught the jade box. When he opened the lid, he found three pale red elixirs that were the same as the old man's hand lying quietly in it. A rich and refreshing elixir smell came to his face.
"Not bad, thank you Elder Liu this time."
It seemed that the Wuhua Pill was quite successful. Liu Ming was also happy. He casually glanced at the elixir in the old man's hand and bowed to the old man in linen clothes.
"The grade of Fellow Qian's Python Eye is truly rare. Therefore, although the cauldron of Five Magnificence Pills refined from it is only a mid-grade pill, its grade is far from what an ordinary Five Magnificence Pill can compare to. As for its specific effects … you'll know a thing or two after you consume it. According to the agreement, no matter how many elixirs are refined, one of them will be counted as a reward. "
The old man in linen clothes nodded slightly and said lightly. His eyes returned to the elixir in his hand and didn't look at Liu Ming anymore.
Liu Ming casually closed the jade box, put it in the storage amulet, and left.
Subsequently, Liu Ming went directly back to the temporarily rented inn. He took out several colorful formation flags and inserted them in every corner of the room. After making a gesture with one hand, he took out the jade box from the storage amulet.
Opening the jade box, three pale red elixirs were still lying in it. Bursts of elixir smell came to his nose, making him feel refreshed.
Liu Ming thought for a while, then he reached out to take one and put it in his mouth.
As soon as the elixir entered his mouth, it melted into a sweet and fragrant warm current. Then, a warm feeling rose from his stomach and rushed straight to his eyes.
Liu Ming suddenly felt that his eyes were wrapped by a cool feeling, which was very useful.
After a few hours, when he opened his eyes again, Liu Ming could clearly feel a trace of refreshment in his eyes. Looking at the sky outside the window, it was obvious that compared to before he took the medicine, he had a feeling of being able to see through the clouds.
"After taking the Wuhua Pill refined by the eye of the python in the early stage of the Condensation Period, it should be able to see through the mist within a few ten meters. If it's refined by the eye of the python in the later stage of the Condensation Period, the effect should be about three hundred meters."
Liu Ming recalled the sweet fragrance in his mouth, and he was very satisfied with the effect of Wuhua Pill.
Immediately, Liu Ming took out a storage amulet and shook it toward the jade box containing the two Wuhua Pills. After a white light flashed, the jade box was kept away. He then took out another storage amulet and shook it on the ground. After the white light faded, a few large bags of ten meters in size appeared.
When one of the bags was opened, the temperature in the room dropped sharply in an instant. A cold feeling escaped from the bag, and it was filled with red-black fine sand.
"Sure enough, it's worthy of being a big market that has connections with the inland. It can purchase so many 'Red Yin Sand' with yin attribute. Plus the materials purchased recently, it should be enough for half a year."
Liu Ming looked at the red-black fine sand in the bag, and his face flashed with joy. After looking at it for a while, he put away the bag and sat cross-legged again.
A few days later, when Liu Ming came out of the "Jiu Qiao Pavilion" opened by the Jiu Qiao Sect, he already had two brown balls transformed by iron ape puppet beasts on his body.
Speaking of these two iron ape puppet beasts, on the first day when Liu Ming entered the valley, he accidentally passed by the "Jiu Qiao Pavilion". After a little inquiry, he learned that the market was adjacent to the Jiu Qiao Sect, so the Jiu Qiao Sect set up a shop here to provide customized business of all kinds of puppet beasts.
Of course, the cost was quite high. After all, the Jiu Qiao Sect was also unique in the aspect of puppet refining in the entire Yunchuan.
With a thought, Liu Ming spent thousands of spiritual stones and specially requested to customize two iron ape puppet beasts that were strengthened in terms of strength. He agreed to pick them up half a month later.
Previously in the capital of the Da Xuan Dynasty, Liu Ming also learned some basic puppet control methods and mastered some simple methods to control puppet beasts. Although it couldn't be compared to the control methods of the Jiu Qiao Sect, it was more than enough for these two puppet beasts that were specially customized according to his requirements.
After these were done, Liu Ming came to the entrance of the valley, turned into a ray of light, and left the Qinzhou market.
Half a month later, on a chain of mountains in the south of the Da Xuan Country, a cyan mechanical flying boat was flying hundreds of feet high in the sky.
On the front of the flying boat stood a young man in a gray robe with his hands behind his back. He looked indifferent. It was Liu Ming.
After a ray of cyan light, the flying boat stopped at the foot of a mountain. Liu Ming looked around and narrowed his eyes.
This place was far away from the major Sect of the Da Xuan Country. Compared to the Sect, the spiritual energy here was definitely incomparable. But fortunately, there were few people, so he could avoid disturbance.
Moreover, the Dragon Tiger Hell Prison that Liu Ming was practicing now mainly relied on external forces to strengthen his body for a long time. It didn't need too much vitality, so it should be enough.
After looking for a while, Liu Ming nodded with satisfaction. With a flash of light, he plunged into the mountains.
In a small misty valley in the mountains, Liu Ming easily opened a hole in an inconspicuous stone wall. He then released the Golden Spirit Sword. A golden light flashed, and a narrow stone wall passage appeared in the hole, leading straight to the belly of the mountain.
