In Afterglow City, Lou Xiaoyi rarely came into contact with powerful cultivators. However, with the strength of his divine sense, he could sense that there were dozens of weak fluctuations of spiritual vigor in the city.
It was exactly the same as when he was in Pu City on the mother planet. These were all cultivators who were groping their way forward. He did not disturb them. This was the rule of cultivation.
It was shorter than he had expected. It was less than two months. He felt that there was no need to waste his time here.
In the past month, he had passed the language barrier and the local customs barrier. Aside from the fact that it had nothing to do with the quest, it could be said that it was a successful short trip to the mortal world. The only pity was that the people here were too vigilant, and there were not many widows or anything like that.
He carried a bookcase on his back. This time, it was a real one. It was produced locally. The key was that there were some imperial examination books inside. It was enough to pass off as genuine. He also knew that he did not have much time to carry this thing. Next, he would find an identity as a cultivator to blend into the cultivation world here. When that time came, it would be somewhat inconvenient to carry this thing.
It was just fulfilling a childhood dream.
Just like when he first came to Afterglow City, it was still drizzling. It was still a bowl of noodles and a plate of meat. The snacks in this shop were very much to his taste. He chewed slowly. In the late autumn drizzle, there was a different kind of mood.
The shopkeeper hesitated at the counter for a long time. In the end, he pulled the waiter over and gently placed a tray in front of him. There were fourteen blue pearls neatly arranged on it …
"Are you going to leave? It's a pity that there is no wine today! If I knew that you were leaving, I would have left a corner for you …
These blue pearls were not rightfully obtained by this small shop. Please take them back! "
This was an apology for his actions that day. It was just that he was still a little embarrassed. However, Lou Xiaoyi smiled very happily. He finally understood what human nature was. No matter how tough the exterior was, when the hard shell was broken, the inside was still soft. Where was the innate coldness? Innate viciousness?
He reached into the bookcase and took out a pot of wine. This was a trick. In fact, he took it out from the storage ring.
"It's alright. I'll treat you to a drink today!"
He took a cup and poured a cup for each of them. The innkeeper wanted to decline, but the aroma of the wine couldn't be concealed. Who in this line of work didn't like wine? It was easy to tell whether the wine was good or bad with just a sniff. Just from this soft and lingering aroma, one could tell that this was a good wine that they had never tasted before in their entire lives!
Therefore, his mouth did not agree with his heart. While he was declining, his hand could not help but lift the cup to his mouth. He was an experienced drinker and knew how to drink good wine. He only took a small sip and left it in his mouth to savor the aftertaste for a while. When he raised his head again, he felt a hot stream flowing down his throat, and his whole body felt comfortable …
Lou Xiaoyi understood a principle. The important thing was not to find out why people were so cold, but to believe in kindness, even if it was short-lived. This depended on the environment. If the environment was right, everyone would be a saint!
Then, who was the one who created the environment? The local government? Or, the cultivators hiding behind it?
This time, when he left Afterglow, his goal was to go to Zhong Dynasty. Zhong Dynasty was not a city, but an area. It was the richest area of Hasa Star. It had the densest population and the most prosperous city. At the same time, it was also the place with the highest concentration of Dharma veins.
Different from the monasteries of cultivation who were used to living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, if there was a cultivation ceiling and there was an insurmountable barrier, there would be a dead end. In fact, many cultivators preferred to enjoy life.
How could he integrate into the world of Hasa Star normally? He couldn't waste time like he did in Afterglow City. He had to be fast and slow when he needed to be slow. If he entered the circle of Laying Foundation and then Jin Dan, it would be a drag.
However, fortunately, there was a guest organization in the Dharma Veins Alliance of Hasa Star. It specialized in collecting individual Jin Dan cultivators and providing them with resources. It was unreasonable to support a guest from a different sect on a barren planet. Unless there was a reason, such as frequent conflicts!
He didn't want to be a guest himself, but it would be easier to communicate with these guests. His past couldn't withstand a detailed investigation, whether it was his household registration or his Taoist roots.
Here, he no longer hid his identity as a cultivator. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. When his Jin Dan aura was vaguely exposed in front of people, he didn't need to look for it deliberately. Naturally, some people inadvertently approached him, especially those guests of Jin Dan. They stood at the top of the world's food chain, but because there was no way to go up, they were content with enjoying life and doing nothing.
Lou Xiaoyi found a place with the most cultivators and opened a small shop. It specialized in collecting some special cultivation materials, especially receiver crystals.
On Hasa Star, receiver crystal mines were widely distributed. The Sword Vein controlled by Xuanyuan only occupied one of the places with the best production and quality. There were many similar mines on Hasa Star, including the territories controlled by the Dharma Veins!
This was also something that the Law Vein natives were dissatisfied with. Those high-quality mines originally belonged to them, but now they had been taken away by outsiders. They wouldn't be able to obtain a single strand of hair, and they would even have to develop a sword range force. No one would be willing to do such a thing!
The function of receiver crystals was to fuse them into weapons, including flying swords, various magic weapons, spirit weapons, and so on. It could fundamentally change the range of use of the weapons.
For a flying knife, even if it was made of ordinary iron, a cultivator could use his spiritual power to control it to fly around and kill enemies. However, there were limitations in controlling it. It was difficult to control it at will. Moreover, it consumed a lot of spiritual power and couldn't be used for a long time. In the world of cultivation, it was called the Art of Object Control.
The Art of Object Control was at a higher level. In fact, it was like the sword of a Swordsman and the magic weapon of a cultivator of magic. Not only was the Art of Object Control fundamentally different, but more importantly, special materials such as receiver crystals had to be added into the weapons during the process of fusing so as to achieve the purpose of spiritual communication and control.
The crafting technique of the Hasa Star was a kind of crafting technique that used the receiver crystal without restraint. It was widely used. Many of the crafting techniques were unnecessary, but there was no other way. After all, this place produced the receiver crystal.
On the contrary, some of the most common materials in the fifth circle, such as hard materials and materials with the properties of the five elements, were rare and in short supply here. Their prices were much higher than receiver crystals!
Xuanyuan had known about this for a long time. However, there was no barter rule. Under the control of the Sword Vein, who would want to work hard to sell goods here? In particular, it was very difficult to enter and leave Hasa Star!
During the three days of preparation, Lou Xiaoyi was keenly aware of this fact. Anyway, he brought a large number of Storage Tripod with him. Since he had nothing to do, he bought a large number of the most common materials of the five elements in the fifth circle.
Firstly, it was a way to enter the local world of cultivation on Hasa Star. Secondly, it could make some extra money for him.
Killing two birds with one stone!
