As he plunged into the sea of cultivation, he reminded himself to only look with his eyes, listen with his ears, and do nothing else.
After the first day, the only feeling he had was that he was in a daze!
It was like a grocery store owner who had been idling in a small village. He thought he had some stock, but when he entered the Forbidden City Museum or the Louvre, he could not help but lament when he saw thousands of cultivation methods, secret techniques, tools, spiritual beasts, pills, talismans, and so on. The so-called cultivation was not something a poor person could afford!
He was a little puzzled as to how he had gotten to where he was now. To be able to survive in such a glorious and vast cultivation world, how many sect disciples could he kill?
It was unbelievable!
After a day of shopping, he was a little tired. It was not his body that was tired, but his eyes hurt from looking at all the treasures!
He found a slightly empty corner and sat down. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down. Two hours later, he opened his eyes and his breathing returned to normal.
There was a street stall several feet away from him. The stall owner had just completed a transaction and was in a good mood. Taking advantage of the free time at night, he expressed his concern.
He asked, "Little brother, are you alright?"
Lou Xiaoyi politely returned the greeting. "I'm fine. Just a little dizzy!"
The middle-aged stall owner laughed. "That's normal! It's too normal! I think you're an itinerant cultivator, aren't you? "
Lou Xiaoyi did not hide it. There were many itinerant cultivators in this place. No one would want to talk to someone like him who was not out of the ordinary.
"That's right. Senior, you have a good eye!"
The stall owner laughed. "What's there to see? Looking at your situation, you're a typical rogue cultivator. Let me be frank with you. This place is actually not suitable for rogue cultivators like you to come in. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. He did not think that this person's words were offensive. It was the truth!
"It's my first time here! I didn't come here on purpose. It's just a coincidence. I was passing by Nightly City, but I didn't expect to see such a big scene! At first, I thought that even though I couldn't afford it, it would still be good to have an eye craving. But now, it seems that this eye craving isn't that easy! "
After a day, the stall owner had gained quite a lot. Thus, he had the desire to chat and show off. If it was another time and place, he wouldn't have bothered to give pointers to such a small rogue cultivator.
"That's right. You're blinded by your flowers. You treat cultivation as money! The things in the world of cultivation were endless and fascinating. To put it bluntly, there were only a few kinds of things in the world of cultivation!
Especially people like you who don't have much experience. You can't wait to buy everything to your heart's content. In fact, it's your inner demons!
In the future, when I cultivated, I would always think that some cultivation method I saw in the market seemed to be more suitable for me? In a battle of magical powers, he would think that a certain talisman from the market square was formidable! If this continued, he would start to doubt his own foundation!
Therefore, he might as well not come! In any case, I can't afford it. Messing up my mind is not beneficial to my cultivation! "
Lou Xiaoyi knew that this person's words were crude but not crude. Even if there were tens of thousands of cultivation techniques here, how many could he cultivate at the same time? There were countless talismans, but how many could he throw with both hands? There were as many elixirs as the sea, but how many could he swallow in a day?
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I'll just take a look. If I were to leave just like that, wouldn't that be too cowardly?"
The stall owner nodded. "You can take a look, as long as you stay true to your heart! But it doesn't matter to you. You can't afford it anyway, so what?
Don't think that this place is too high and mighty. In essence, what's the difference between this place and a mortal's market? Swindling, selling shoddy goods as good, passing off fish eyes as pearls, lacking in weight, there's everything!
If you really want to buy and sell something, you'd better go to the big stalls in the center with the sect's Dao symbol. You might not be able to get a bargain, but you'd definitely not be cheated! "
After the stall owner finished speaking, he probably felt that he had said too much. Therefore, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, no longer speaking.
Lou Xiaoyi thanked him again. Taking advantage of the night, he began his search again. This stall owner was right. What he said was true. There were thousands of stalls. To look at them one by one and compare their strengths and weaknesses, their prices, and whether they were useful to him, this was an impossible task for someone like him who had limited experience!
It would be strange if he didn't fall into a trap!
If he wanted to look for treasures here, how much cultivation knowledge and experience would he need? It would tire his heart and mind, and in the end, he wouldn't be able to find anything good!
This shouldn't be his choice, and it wasn't what he was good at!
What was he good at? According to his own actual situation, he could find the right direction, persevere in cultivation, and add his own understanding and changes in cultivation. How much worse could he be compared to others?
He had already killed two people. This was an affirmation of himself!
After all, he had only been in contact with cultivation for a short time. Even if his mentality was not bad, he was still shocked when he suddenly came into contact with the Myriad Cultivator Fair. It was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, no, it was like entering the Imperial Garden.
Fortunately, he was now alert and no longer had the tendency to indulge. It could also be considered a rare experience in his state of mind.
As he walked through the stalls, he mainly had to overcome two things.
Temptation!
First, medicinal pills! It wasn't a pill for him to consume, but a pill for mortals to consume!
He had always wanted to buy some medicinal pills suitable for his mother and Aunt Cai, but he had always been hesitant. It wasn't that he was reluctant to spend the spirit stones, but he was afraid of causing unmanageable trouble!
Spiritual vigor was a great tonic for cultivators, but it might not be so for mortals! Even someone as strong as Liang Kuangren would die if he took too much. Then, what was the most suitable dosage for different mortals? Would there be side effects? These were all things that he had to consider!
There were many medicinal pills in these stalls that could prolong one's life by ten or twenty years, but how could he dare to buy them? It wasn't that these medicinal pills were necessarily fake, but for different people, men and women, old and young, strong and weak, basic diseases, and individual resistance. How could one medicinal pill be used in the world?
Lou Xiaoyi looked at countless of them, but in the end, he still decided that the spiritual vigor he had been studying for the two old people every day was more reliable. At the very least, he could grasp the severity!
If he wasn't proficient in alchemy and couldn't specialize in the art of life, it would be impossible to extend the lifespan of the old people. The scene of swallowing a medicinal pill and turning white hair black and throwing away a walking stick could only happen in legends. Even when he was stung by the white sand worm for the first time and the spiritual vigor entered his body, he was in so much pain that he wanted to die. And this was with the body of a young seventeen or eighteen-year-old with skills!
Could the old people's bodies withstand it?
