After five days and thirty-nine continents, Xiao Lingyu once again arrived at the Liheng Continent.
Along the way, Xiao Lingyu still didn't find any traces of his friends or family. However, he wasn't too disappointed because he was already used to it.
After he walked out of the teleportation array, he entered the city not far away.
Xiao Lingyu walked towards the center of the city with great familiarity. Finally, he stopped in front of a shop called "Kunlun's Rare Treasures".
On Earth, the Kunlun Mountains were a hotspot in Huaxia. It was also a place filled with many fantastical legends. That was why Xiao Lingyu had chosen to walk in front of the Kunlun's Rare Treasures shop. Of course, he knew that this could just be a coincidence. However, the shop did look magnificent and glamorous. Xiao Lingyu had thought that he might be able to gain something from it. He hadn't expected to find the Three Lives Flower here.
Xiao Lingyu didn't linger at the entrance for too long. After he walked in, he went straight to the counter and asked the seemingly old shopkeeper behind the counter, "Shopkeeper, is the Three Life Flower still here?"
The old shopkeeper always had a sleepy look on his face. Most of the business in the shop didn't require him to intervene. Those seemingly young and beautiful female receptionists would be able to negotiate the business deals one by one. Only a very small number of big business deals required him to personally check on them.
When Xiao Lingyu had come to ask about the Three Lives Flower, it had been this old shopkeeper who had greeted him. Unfortunately, the old shopkeeper had shown the incomparably precious Three Lives Flower to Xiao Lingyu. He had thought that the deal would be a success, but Xiao Lingyu had shaken his head and left because he didn't have eight million top-grade spirit stones on him. This had infuriated the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Lingyu and snorted coldly. "You dare come again? Do you want me to find someone to kick you out?"
"Hehe, don't misunderstand, shopkeeper. I left in a hurry last time and didn't bring so many spirit stones with me. That's why I didn't buy anything," Xiao Lingyu explained with a smile.
"Then did you prepare enough spirit stones this time?" the old shopkeeper asked lazily.
"Yes," Xiao Lingyu replied with certainty.
"Oh?" The old shopkeeper stood up slightly and said, "Then let this old man take a look at your spirit stones."
Xiao Lingyu did not hesitate and immediately placed a storage bracelet that she had prepared beforehand on the counter.
Traveling all the way from the Wandering Continent to the Liheng Continent, Xiao Lingyu processed a small part of the medicinal materials he obtained along the way, and also sold a few superb spiritual weapons that he didn't need at all. The number of spirit stones he obtained was so huge that it was absolutely unimaginable for a Dacheng Stage cultivator.
The old shopkeeper didn't reach out to touch the storage bracelet. He just immersed his spiritual sense into it. After a while, his expression changed slightly.
"You have enough Spirit Stones, but even if you have enough Spirit Stones, the Three Lives Flower is not fated with you." The old shopkeeper sat down again and said indifferently.
"Why is that?" Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly.
"Because the Three Lives Flower has already been sent to the main store in the Kunshu Continent. It's said that a cultivator wants to buy it for ten million superb Spirit Stones, so I said that the Three Lives Flower is not fated with you." The old shopkeeper shook his head and said. In fact, he also wanted this business to be done in this store, but he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the main store.
"The Kunshu Continent … seems to be very far away from here." Xiao Lingyu narrowed her eyes and rummaged through her memories.
"It's not that far. If you keep using transportation formations, it'll take about two months to get there." The old shopkeeper shook his head.
"It'll take two months to get there even if you keep using transportation formations, and it's not that far? Plus the time to wait in line for transportation … "
"Hehe, we don't need to wait in line." The old shopkeeper interrupted with a smile.
"So, even if I go to the Kunshu Continent now, I won't make it in time, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked with obvious disappointment on her face. The Three Lives Flower was very precious, and she was very lucky to have found it this time. Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to guarantee that he would be so lucky in the future. Moreover, he wasn't far from breaking through to the chaotic convergence stage, so he didn't have that much time to look for it. If he couldn't find it, then he could only use a substitute.
If he used a substitute, not only would it reduce the success rate of breaking through to the chaotic convergence stage, but even if he succeeded, it would also greatly affect his future cultivation. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xiao Lingyu would never use a substitute.
"The people from the main store have only left three days ago. If you're fast enough, you might be able to make it in time," the old shopkeeper said indifferently.
Xiao Lingyu walked out of the Kunlun Rare Treasures store gloomily. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he hadn't taken a detour, he could have reached here three days ago, and the Three Lives Flower wouldn't have been taken away.
However, it was too late for regrets. He could only try to hurry and reach the Kunshu Continent before the Three Lives Flower did.
The people from the main store of Kunlun Rare Treasures could be transported continuously because the various major forces of the Cultivation World had a tacit understanding. This tacit understanding could also be said to be a rule jointly set by them. The true experts didn't need to wait in line for transportation, and some influential Cultivation World merchants could also use their Trading Path Teleportation Tokens to avoid waiting for transportation.
No cultivator was willing to say much on this matter. After all, no one wanted to offend all the top forces of the Cultivation World at the same time. This rule that specifically served the strong was naturally very welcomed by the strong. No matter where it was, the influence of the weak was very pitiful.
The fastest way to travel in the Cultivation World's starry space was to take a teleportation formation. Unless one was an expert from the Immortal World or the God World, or had a flying magic weapon of immortal or divine weapon quality, even a Ninth Tribulation expert's teleportation speed could not cross a starry field and instantly teleport from one Cultivation Continent to another.
To Xiao Lingyu, the fastest way to travel was also to use a transportation array. However, he wasn't a disciple of any major force, nor was he a merchant of any major merchant. He didn't have the qualifications to use a transportation array without waiting in line.
However, Xiao Lingyu could use the identity of a strong cultivator because his strength was definitely comparable to a Fifth Tribulation expert. Fifth Tribulation experts were already considered strong in the Cultivation World. Most Cultivation Continents didn't have any Fifth Tribulation experts, and most Cultivation Continents had at least a few experts below that level.
Apart from the transit planets, basically all Interstellar Transportation Arrays on Cultivation Continents were guarded by guards. After all, cultivators had to pay a fee to use the transportation array. Naturally, someone had to be at the side of the array to collect the fee.
If a strong cultivator wanted to cut in line, they had to get the permission of the guards.
After Xiao Lingyu left the city, he quickly walked towards the Interstellar Transportation Array on the Liheng Continent. At this moment, there was a very long line in front of the transportation array. There were no less than three thousand people waiting in line. If Xiao Lingyu had waited obediently, it would have taken him at least four hours.
Xiao Lingyu didn't wait in line. He walked along the long line and slowly walked towards the transportation array. Everywhere he passed, people couldn't help but stare at him. Everyone was thinking that he must be a disciple of some large sect who had come out to train.
What ordinary cultivators hated the most were the young disciples of these large sects. This was because these people's cultivation levels were not high, but they relied on the strength of their sects to become arrogant and arrogant. They could also obtain a lot of privileges, so no matter where they went, no one was willing to offend them.
Xiao Lingyu ignored everyone's expressions and gazes. When he walked to the side of the teleportation array, a group of cultivators had just finished teleporting. He said to the two guards at the entrance of the teleportation array, "I want to teleport away now."
There were two rows of guards on both sides of the transportation array. There were also many guards in the plaza around the transportation array. If there was even the slightest movement at the transportation array, they would swarm over.
"Please show your token," one of the guards replied calmly.
"I don't have one." Xiao Lingyu's expression didn't change in the slightest. He looked very calm.
Xiao Lingyu's answer surprised many cultivators.
It turned out that this brat wasn't a disciple of some large sect who had come out to train. Could it be that he was a fifth tribulation expert or even higher?
That guard slightly frowned. The dozens of guards on both sides of the transportation array were staring at this side. If that brat was deliberately teasing them or trying to cut in line by force, they wouldn't be standing still like statues.
"Then please pour a trace of your power into here."
The guard next to the transportation array took out a black iron-like stone that looked like a brick and said to Xiao Lingyu with a grave expression. In his opinion, Xiao Lingyu was most likely not a fifth tribulation expert.
This black brick was set up next to the interstellar transportation arrays of all the cultivation continents. It was very hard and repelled all kinds of energy. It was said that only high-grade energy like immortal spiritual energy or devil spiritual energy could invade it. In other words, only the power of loose immortals and loose devils at the Great Ascension stage or higher could invade it. However, how much it could invade depended on the strength of the cultivator's cultivation.
Therefore, this black brick was set up next to the transportation array. It was specially used to test the cultivation level of experts. As long as a cultivator poured all their power into the black brick, their cultivation level would be clear at a glance.
Xiao Lingyu's strength wasn't bad, but his power level wasn't very high. However, he firmly believed that his power of primal chaos could also invade the black brick, so he dared to give it a try. However, he didn't dare to be too sure, so he immediately poured all his power of primal chaos into the black brick.
At this moment, all the cultivators and guards waiting for the transportation array were staring at the black brick.
What made Xiao Lingyu depressed was that he clearly felt his power of primal chaos invading the black brick, but it didn't move at all.
Cultivators who often used transportation arrays knew that the black brick had been refined by an expert. As long as there was energy invading it, it would overflow with radiance according to the amount of energy invading it. Moreover, it would show the corresponding level.
"So it's a brat who's looking for a beating. Now he's in trouble!"
Looking at the group of guards who had already begun to move and surround Xiao Lingyu, all the cultivators waiting for the transportation array shook their heads with smiles, waiting to see a good show.
"Pretending to be an expert in front of the transportation array, you can either pay a thousand times the transportation fee or have your cultivation destroyed. Which one do you choose?"
