He successfully received the hundred mid-grade spirit stones that belonged to him. Other than that, there was nothing else. He had to rely on these resources to distribute his cultivation. How much to buy, how much to buy, how much to buy, how much to buy, how much to buy, how much to buy, and how much to operate, all belonged to the cultivator's own freedom. No one would interfere!
He heard that the Xuanyuan Sword Sect wasn't like this in the past. They also distributed a lot of other things, such as all kinds of medicinal pills, talismans, and even a good quality sword embryo to the Swordsman. However, as the Xuanyuan Sword Sect became stronger and stronger, the number of members increased, and the logistical pressure multiplied. As a result, they only distributed spirit stones and left the rest to the market economy of the cultivation world. The results were very good. They saved a lot of management personnel and no longer had to continue with this kind of boring work. They also left a lot of business space for the cultivators, killing two birds with one stone.
No one made things difficult for him. How stupid would a staff member of a sect have to be to embezzle in this kind of open and aboveboard place?
However, his request to see Gu He and Gu Gang in the Ascension Hall was rejected because he couldn't give a convincing reason. Of course, the management of tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't waste it on trivial matters. Although Lou Xiaoyi didn't think that Gu Bei's matter was trivial.
He also met a few acquaintances.
"Senior Brother Cigarette Case, Senior Brother Ashtray, I haven't seen you for half a year. I miss you very much!" Lou Xiaoyi greeted them from afar.
It was almost inevitable that he would bump into them because they entered the sect together! It was just like in his previous life when he received his salary. The usually idle, the sick, and the old would all come out at the same time.
"Junior Brother Cigarette Butt, I trust you've been well since we last met? Are you here to receive relief? "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Yes, yes. There's no overnight food at home. Even a person's fart smells good … Why are there only a few of you here? Where are the other senior brothers and sisters? "
The few of them chatted for a while before going their separate ways.
The few of them had grouped their Immortal's Caves together, so they traveled together. The others didn't know either. If there were people who liked to gather together for warmth, then there would definitely be people who preferred to be alone. No one could force them.
But in his short conversation with them, he obtained an important piece of information. Among the ten people who came with him, one of them was lucky enough to successfully capture the sword orb and become the enviable Swordsman!
This person was the only Infant Mother who came from the same realm as Lou Xiaoyi, Gong Xiaodie!
He was a little surprised, but that was all. Could it be that the sword pill was in love with its mother?
It had nothing to do with him!
He patted the two hundred or so mid-grade spirit stones in his storage ring. This was all he had after scrimping and living frugally. Cultivators relied heavily on medicinal pills for cultivation, especially those cultivators who placed their main cultivation techniques in the direction of battle. The reason why they chose cultivation techniques that could increase their battle prowess was because they could supplement it with medicinal pills. This was also a very normal strategy.
Because of his personal reasons, he chose the Star System cultivation technique. And this cultivation technique, because of his powerful mental strength, was very likely to help him obtain spiritual opportunity that surpassed cultivators of the same realm in the future. Therefore, medicinal pills were not very urgent.
Regarding the matter of consuming medicinal pills, he was neither enthusiastic nor averse to it. But since he was tight on money now, there was no need to waste it. He didn't know how much he would have to spend to understand the matter of external swords and flying swords!
This was a necessary expenditure that could not be saved. He also hoped that during this process, he would be able to find an external sword technique that was suitable for him!
What if he couldn't find it? He never considered this problem. To him, it was as if everything related to the sword was not a problem at all!
An inexplicable self-confidence!
First of all, the first step was to choose a sword embryo, which was a sword embryo. It meant that it was an unpolished sword without a sword formation engraved on it. It didn't even have an edge. It was a sword embryo that had nothing at all.
This kind of thing could only be bought from a specialized shop. In principle, it could not be replaced by a foot-long metal rod in the mortal world. This was because the materials used were completely different!
Even the worst sword embryo used by cultivators was forged from cultivator materials. Its value was directly related to the value of the materials used and the number of materials used. A good sword embryo, other than its basic attributes such as hardness and sharpness, also had advantages such as ease of engraving, sensitivity in the transmission of mana, high variability in sword formations, and being suitable for the transmission of mental strength.
If an ordinary soldier used cultivator materials to engrave a sword formation on it, the result would basically be the same. The formation would be destroyed and the sword would break!
This kind of thing should be left to the professionals. Lou Xiaoyi would not be so idle as to look for materials to refine it himself. Then, he would buy and sell the sword embryo to earn his first bucket of gold. He did not have the economic brain, nor did he seem to have such a golden finger.
The only golden finger he had was the ball of luck that was hidden in his sea of consciousness. It was half dead and half alive. It would occasionally work, but most of the time, it was as if it did not exist!
There was a market under Qianxiu Peak, and it was the biggest one in Xuanyuan. This was because Qianxiu Peak was the main peak of the Outer Sword. It was also the only place where the Outer Sword could suppress the Inner Sword. In the entire Xuanyuan, there were seven or eight markets, big or small, and the Outer Sword market was the top five. There was no other reason. The Outer Sword had an overwhelming number of people. Ninety percent of the Swordsman were Outer Swordsmen. It was easy to imagine the strength of the Outer Sword.
Unfortunately, in Xuanyuan, quantity did not determine quality. On the contrary, quality dominated quantity. It was very embarrassing. Logically speaking, a proud Swordsman would not tolerate this. However, if this person was lost for tens of thousands of years, he would not care!
The Outer Sword was arrogant, but the Inner Sword was even more arrogant!
The Outer Sword was aggressive, but the Inner Sword was even more aggressive!
It could not be helped. There were two brothers born from the same mother. One could spit fire, while the other could only poop. There was no comparison!
There were hundreds of shops and hundreds of stalls in the market. There was a dazzling lineup of all kinds of things. Lou Xiaoyi did not even look at the stalls. He went straight to the biggest and most eye-catching shop.
He had his own way of buying things. He would not waste his time on picking up scraps from the stalls! This was because he knew his own capabilities. If he spent a lot of time doing this, the chances of him being cheated would be much higher than picking up scraps. It was not worth it!
The biggest advantage of doing business here was that there was no need to worry about being robbed or targeted. They were all fellow disciples, and they were all on the same side. If anyone dared to play tricks here, there was no need for professionals to deal with them. These hot-tempered Swordsman could poke holes in people in the market and turn them into sieves!
There were not many customers in the market. This was because the timing was not right. Usually, after the Big and Small Sword Conventions in Xuanyuan, business would be the busiest. This was because there would be a large number of damaged flying swords. The flying swords of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not have a sword spirit. Therefore, they could not repair themselves and could only be replaced with new ones. This situation would continue until the Jin Dan realm. Only when a cultivator reached the Yuanying realm would a sword spirit appear in his flying sword.
Even if business was slow, no one was in a hurry to attract customers. Lou Xiaoyi was not the only one who hated traveling merchants. In fact, most Swordsman were the same. However, a portion of them were forced by their cultivation and had no choice.
Swordsman worshipped purity. They were not willing to touch anything other than the sword. However, in actual cultivation, how many people could achieve this? Except for those true second generation cultivators!
Lou Xiaoyi could not come into contact with these people!
He walked to the counter that specialized in selling sword embryos. There were rows and rows of sword embryos. They all looked about the same and were about a foot long. The hilts were almost invisible and there was no sword case at all. If you insisted that it was a rod, there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, there were very few sword embryos that were the same shape as ordinary long swords. It was just that their proportions were much smaller.
He really did not know much about sword embryos. He could not tell whether the materials were good or bad, nor could he tell the refining method. If the Sword Song of Four Seasons did not clearly state the requirements for sword embryos, he would not have had the courage to walk in.
He could only walk to the cultivator behind the counter and say, "Senior Brother, I want a sword embryo that is balanced with five elements. If you really don't have it, you can have a sword embryo with four or three elements."
A cultivator's flying sword would eventually reach equilibrium. However, that was only for high-level cultivators. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the most important thing was its characteristics! It specialized in a certain aspect. For example, the Ice Soul Cold Light Sword focused on the ice element and had outstanding characteristics. The Heavenly Fire Sword focused on the fire element and had obvious advantages. The Heavenly Cycle Stellar Sword focused on the star element and was very unique.
Correspondingly, the Cold Light Sword Embryo needed cold jade as its material. The Heavenly Fire Sword Embryo needed metal as its main material. The Stellar Sword Embryo needed the rare Stellar Steel … Lou Xiaoyi was experimenting. Of course, it was best to start with the Stellar Sword Technique as it was the most compatible. However, Stellar Steel was very expensive. He could not afford a sword embryo with Stellar Steel as its main material. This was the reason why he chose the Sword Song of Four Seasons.
There were only two possibilities for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to choose a sword embryo that was balanced with five elements.
Either they were extremely wealthy and had extraordinary talent. They dared to try to balance the sword body while still in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Either they were extremely poor, or they were greedy for cheap things.
This was because there were two choices for a sword embryo that was balanced with five elements. One was to use five different precious materials, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, to refine it with a special refining method. It was extremely expensive!
The other was to find an inert material to replace it. It could adapt to all five elements, but each of them would be at a disadvantage. The five elements were indeed complete, but all of them were lacking in weight and could not unleash their full power.
The surrounding cultivators who were picking out swords all looked over to see which type of cultivator this bragging cultivator belonged to.
