Chapter 154 includes information about ancient demons and news from Fallen Immortal Valley.
The Ice and Snow Valley Market in the Southern Yue Kingdom.
Underground city.
Lin Li walked down the street, holding a piece of dark beast bone in his hand. He began to try to infuse it with spiritual energy, hoping to cultivate a wisp of blood and evil energy from it.
Despite continuously infusing it with spiritual energy equivalent to that of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, the beast bone still showed no reaction whatsoever.
It was like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Upon seeing this, Lin Li felt a surge of joy.
This may indicate that the item's quality is not low.
If just a little bit of spiritual energy can make this beast bone react, then it means that the quality of this item is not very high. For Lin Li to be valuable, it must be at least a bloodline of the third rank or above.
"Give it a try."
Lin Li was moved.
Furthermore, Lin Li also planned to inquire about the Fallen Immortal Valley, and decided to rent a cave dwelling in the Ice and Snow Valley Market for the time being.
Before this.
Lin Li continued walking down the street, his divine sense, comparable to that of a Core Formation stage cultivator, swept over the spiritual items on the stall. After walking through several streets, he gained nothing.
Most of the items on this stall are Qi-refining materials. There are very few second-tier spiritual items for those above the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if there are, most of them are just fragments of second-tier magic weapons or spiritual materials and ores that can barely reach the second tier.
The best items were still controlled by the merchants' associations within the market.
Lin Li did not linger and headed straight for the Blood Droplets Merchant Guild in the Ice and Snow Valley Market.
The Blood Droplets Merchant Guild is backed by the Blood God Sect. All matters, including the rental of cave dwellings, within the entire market can be handled through the Blood Droplets Market.
If you want to rent a cave dwelling or gather information, you can't avoid the Blood Drop Merchant Guild, as it is the only guild that knows the most.
Lin Li also wanted to buy several second-tier or higher spirit pills, one of each attribute, so that he could confirm what attribute the demon bone in his hand was.
Immediately, Lin Li adjusted his aura to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which would make it easier to buy pills and rent cave dwellings.
The entrance to the Blood Droplet Merchant Guild appears to be an ordinary gate, but inside it is quite spacious, with at least dozens of floors above the basement.
Enter.
After Lin Li revealed his identity as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Qi Refining cultivator led him to a private room on the second floor.
Inside the private room was a female cultivator in a blood-red robe who had reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation.
The whole process went very smoothly. Lin Li's request was fulfilled in just a quarter of an hour, and a second-tier alchemy room was rented.
The alchemy rooms beneath the Ice and Snow Valley market are all connected to the underground spiritual fire.
The elixir and the information have been purchased.
Having achieved his goal, Lin Li hurriedly left the Blood Droplet Market. As for asking about the essence blood and spirit of the Core Formation stage demon race, Lin Li did not ask any further questions.
This place is, after all, the market town of a Nascent Soul stage power, and he is just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. It would be rather unusual for him to openly inquire about matters related to the Core Formation stage.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to be cautious.
After all, purchasing so many spiritual items at once is a huge expense for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it might attract the attention of other Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The one who oversees this Ice and Snow Valley is a Core Formation stage cultivator.
...
Soon after.
Inside the Blood Droplets Workshop.
The top floor is located there.
The room was filled with spiritual plants of the second rank or higher. Looking around, there wasn't a single one that was lower than the second rank. Deep within these spiritual plants was an old man in green robes sitting cross-legged on a futon.
In front of the other party was a small cauldron, no more than three feet tall, which was enveloped in a ball of spiritual fire, as if something was being refined inside the cauldron.
now.
A communication jade slip flew into the top-floor pavilion and hovered in front of the green-robed old man, Shen Zhou.
Shen Zhou frowned slightly, and then released a wisp of his divine sense to probe into the jade slip.
"What a bunch of useless trash."
"Jiang Yujun has already left the Blood God Sect's territory, yet she's still being suspicious here."
A flash of anger crossed Shen Zhou's eyes.
The work done by those Foundation Establishment stage cultivators was extremely slow.
The Blood God Sect's bounty on Jiang Yujun had already been withdrawn two months ago.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the noodle market were still informing him about this person who resembled Jiang Yujun.
Immediately, Shen Zhou sent out a Core Formation stage divine sense imprint, which landed in the communication jade slip, and then threw the jade slip out of his room.
Next, Shen Zhou focused his attention on the small cauldron in front of him. Inside the cauldron, a third-grade low-level pill was being nurtured. If he could nurture it for a few more days using his own alchemical fire, the medicinal power of the pill would be even stronger.
As for the Foundation Establishment cultivator who spent more spirit stones to buy pills, there's no need to make a fuss.
After all, their Ice and Snow Valley Market is connected to the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea Kingdom. Among the batches of cultivators who come from the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea Kingdom, there are many Foundation Establishment cultivators who have a lot of spirit stones.
This only cost a few more spirit stones; there's absolutely no need to report it.
They're using Jiang Yujun as an excuse; who knows what other motive they might have?
...
Inside a second-tier cave dwelling in the Ice and Snow Valley Market.
Lin Li sat cross-legged in front of a pill-refining furnace that was about ten feet tall. He raised his hand and made a series of skillful hand seals. After the hand seals landed on the pill-refining furnace, the spiritual patterns deposited on the furnace began to brighten.
now.
Lin Li raised his hand and threw the piece of demon bone into the alchemy furnace. At the same time, he took out several second-tier pills of various attributes from his storage bag and put them into the furnace as well.
The power of the elixir was unleashed, almost simultaneously surrounding the demon bones within the alchemy furnace.
Second-tier spiritual energy coiled around the demon bone, continuously nourishing it.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten breaths had passed.
The power of the Five Elements Elixir did not react to the demon bone.
Fortunately, Lin Li also purchased other types of spirit pills, including those with Yin and Yang attributes. However, they were quite expensive. Fortunately, this place belonged to a branch of a Nascent Soul stage force; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to purchase second-tier spirit pills with Yin and Yang attributes.
Two low-grade second-tier spirit pills, one black and one white, were then thrown into the alchemy furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace.
Yin and Yang energies swirled around the demon bone, with the Yang-attribute spiritual energy subtly encountering rejection.
Only the Yin-attribute spiritual energy seemed to have encountered something familiar, continuously pouring into it. In just a quarter of an hour, the second-grade low-level Yin-attribute pill was completely consumed.
But that section of demon bone still showed no signs of life; it remained utterly lifeless.
We can only continue to buy these Yin-attribute pills.
The next day.
After leaving the cave, Lin Li did not disguise himself as one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Ice and Snow Valley market, nor did he purchase many Yin-attribute pills from other large and small merchants.
Both first-tier and second-tier pills were available, but only a very small number of second-tier pills were purchased.
Even so, Lin Li had to travel to many markets to purchase it. After all, the Ice and Snow Valley Market was not a very large market. If it weren't for the fact that it was a transit point between the two major cultivation kingdoms, it certainly wouldn't have attracted a Core Formation stage cultivator to be stationed here.
After carefully purchasing the pills, Lin Li returned to his cave dwelling.
Upon returning to his cave, Lin Li immediately resumed refining pills, throwing a large quantity of Yin-attribute pills he had purchased into the furnace at once.
They were then refined into streams of Yin-attribute magic power, and nearly a hundred streams of magic power were poured into that section of floating demon bone.
After the demon bone completely devoured the visible yin-attribute spiritual energy.
Lin Li then released his Core Formation stage divine sense, carefully staring at that lifeless demon bone.
hum!
Like a tender green branch growing on a long-desolate land, a wisp of gray-black spiritual energy was born from the depths of the demon bone. The spiritual energy on that demon bone was so small that it was about the size of a hair.
Immediately, Lin Li moved his divine sense and extracted a wisp of spiritual energy from the demon bone, refining it into his body.
[Fourth-tier inferior bloodline (Ancient Demon), Black Bone Demon!]
In an instant.
On the Reincarnation Plate, a new figure appeared: a Black Bone Demon Saint, clad in ancient black armor, wielding two slender black bone knives, with bull horns on his head and some blue-faced fangs.
The Black Bone Demon was surrounded by a demonic aura.
As soon as they appeared on the Reincarnation Disc, the two Gu worms that were originally in the center wisely left their central positions and hid to the side.
"Bloodline potential at the early Nascent Soul stage!"
Although Lin Li was prepared that the owner of the black bone must have an extraordinary bloodline, he did not expect it to be an ancient demon bloodline at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
In the next life, I will at least have the aptitude of a Nascent Soul stage bloodline.
I made a profit!
After all, the cultivation resources required to acquire the bloodline potential of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator are not many.
Lin Li put away the piece of black bone with satisfaction. Although this piece of Nascent Soul stage bone had no spiritual energy left, it could still be considered a treasure to some Core Formation stage cultivators.
This item can be kept until it is traded with other Core Formation stage cultivators, at which point it can be taken out.
At last.
Lin Li took out the jade slip containing information about Fallen Immortal Valley. He had been preoccupied with the remains of the Black Bone Demon, but now it was time to learn about Fallen Immortal Valley.
A few breaths later.
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Li's face.
The fourth-order restriction deepest within Fallen Immortal Valley was detected three months ago by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect within the Southern Yue Kingdom, who then notified the other Nascent Soul cultivators within the Southern Yue Kingdom.
A total of six Nascent Soul stage cultivators gathered and entered Fallen Immortal Valley together.
When they came out of the valley, they spread the word that the deepest fourth-order restriction in Fallen Immortal Valley had been opened. It seemed that the other party had used a method to conceal their marks, making it impossible for them to detect them.
As for what emerged from the depths of that fourth-order restriction, that remains unknown.
"Did Lin Chuan from Xuan Du Cave escape?"
Lin Li never expected that his previous plans would be completely disrupted.
Wandao Lake!
Wang Jingchu.
Lin Li also has a route related to Xuandu Cave. Wang Jingchu's cultivation level was not high before, and he is suspected to have the reincarnation soul of a senior brother from Xuandu Cave in his body, which is extremely important.
After Lin Chuan from Xuandu Cave comes out, his next step will definitely be to go to Wandao Lake to find Wang Jingchu.
"But what if they've already taken Wang Jingchu away?"
Lin Li pondered to himself.
But apart from that, he has no other connection to Xuandu Cave.
'A large number of positive spiritual objects.'
At this moment, Lin Li seemed to have thought of something.
When Zhou Jing left Fallen Immortal Valley, Lin Chuan instructed him to find a place where a large number of yang spiritual objects existed.
Isn't this a clue?
Even if Linchuan is gone, perhaps some other small arrangements remain in that Fallen Immortal Valley.
"Let's go there and see."
After thinking it over for a while, Lin Li made a decision.
...
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
A hundred-foot-long flying boat swept away from the Ice and Snow Valley Market, transforming into a streak of azure light and heading straight for the distant, layered mountains.
at this time.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Li had no shortage of spirit stones, so he chose a relatively spacious cabin on the flying boat where he could meditate and cultivate, and was served by maids, and enjoyed spiritual fruits every day.
This flying boat was heading to Jubao Market in Yunzhou. It was because the opening of the fourth-order restriction in the Fallen Immortal Valley had caused a stir in the cultivation world within the Southern Yue Kingdom.
After all, no one knows what kind of thing escaped from that fourth-order restriction.
The fact that the other party managed to escape even under the watchful eyes of so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the Southern Yue Kingdom is enough to show that the cultivator imprisoned within the fourth-order restriction was at least a Nascent Soul stage cultivator; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to conceal the restriction setup by so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Although the cultivator trapped in the barrier escaped, the place still exists.
Furthermore, due to the opening of the fourth-order restriction, the Fallen Immortal Valley secret realm gradually began to merge into the main world, and the secret realm was forcibly pulled into the main world.
Therefore, outside Jubao Market, numerous second-tier and even third-tier or higher spiritual veins were created.
All these factors attracted cultivators from various markets and districts within the Southern Yue Kingdom, who all wanted to go and see if they could find an opportunity. If they could occupy a second-tier spiritual vein, they could establish a Foundation Establishment family.
However, second-tier spiritual veins are not easy to obtain; everything depends on the battle between them.
But one thing is certain: this Treasure Market is now teeming with experts, including quite a few Core Formation stage cultivators.
After understanding it.
Lin Li's cautious mind began to race, and he tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.
If there are no backup plans, you can leave directly.
This journey will take about half a month, during which time Lin Li's bloodline will surely be able to be elevated to a higher level.
At that time, he might be promoted to the fourth-order Nascent Soul level, which would be considered worthy of Lin Chuan's approval.
