Chapter 36 The Beginning of Chaos
When Wu Tao walked out of Shopkeeper Yu's weapon refining and spiritual materials shop, he looked at the streets around him. Loose cultivators were walking on the streets, seemingly no different from before.
These casual cultivators have low strength, have no contact with the disciples of the sect, have little information, and have no idea that a war is about to happen.
Hey, no matter which world you are in, there is an information cocoon. You can only know what the people above want you to know. If you don't know something, you will never know it.
Unexamined, as dust under the wheel of historical development, I don’t know when it will be crushed and annihilated by this wheel.
No one knows you.
'If I hadn't established a business channel with Shopkeeper Yu as a weapon refiner, I would have been just like these thousands of casual cultivators. When a catastrophe happened, I would have been crushed to death like an ant. ’
Wu Tao sighed in his heart.
The world is like this, and he can't change it. The only thing he can do is to save his life.
Including the fifteen pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones that Shopkeeper Yu had advanced, Wu Tao now had 3,189 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones. He abandoned his distracting thoughts and immediately headed towards the elixir shop and medicine shop.
Walking on the street, passing by individual cultivators one after another, when approaching the elixir shop, I suddenly heard an exclamation:
"It's the little foundation-building master of Wuquan Mountain."
Wu Tao couldn't help but stop and look up at the sky. He saw a cyan sword light flying across the sky, dragging out a cyan afterimage. On top of it stood a cultivator in purple robes with extremely powerful magic power.
At an extremely fast speed, in the blink of an eye, the Foundation-Building Immortal Cultivator flew into Wuling Xiu Immortal City and landed in the center of the west city of Wuling Xiu Immortal City, where it is said that the Wuquan Mountain Sect guarded the palace.
"A foundation-building immortal cultivator... Such a powerful aura... I feel like the opponent can kill me with just one finger..." A casual cultivator exclaimed.
"Hey, you overestimate yourself, foundation-building immortal cultivator. Just blow your breath and you will be wiped out." Someone retorted.
But there is no doubt that every casual cultivator has a look of envy in his eyes. Everyone wants to build a foundation, but the casual cultivators are innocent, have no resources, and have no inheritance. If they want to achieve foundation building, there is no one among them.
"It would be great if I could become a foundation builder. I would definitely be able to join Wuquan Mountain." Someone murmured in his sleep.
The casual cultivators around him looked at him without laughing, because he spoke out what everyone felt.
Wu Tao withdrew his gaze. He also wanted to become a foundation-builder in his heart, and his face showed envy. But he also thought more deeply. The foundation-builders of Wuquan Mountain rarely left the sect. This foundation-builder cultivated immortals. Coming to Wulingxiu Immortal City must be related to Ghost Dao Sect.
Thinking about this, he kept walking and soon arrived at the elixir shop. As soon as he arrived at the elixir shop, he heard a casual cultivator wailing: "Fellow Taoist, this Qi Condensing Pill is still a thirty-fifth grade spiritual stone when I came here half a month ago." One bottle, why do you need a bottle of fifty lower-grade spiritual stones today?”
The immortal cultivator hired by the elixir shop smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, I can't decide the price. If you think it's too expensive, you can look elsewhere."
"I'll go somewhere else..."
The casual cultivator left, and the hired immortal cultivator looked at Wu Tao and said, "Fellow Taoist, what elixir do you want to buy?"
Wu Tao said: "I'm not busy, I'll go look elsewhere."
After saying that, Wu Tao turned around and left, thinking: This elixir shop must have a background in Wuquan Mountain. Knowing that the war was coming, it had raised the price of elixirs early. I should go to those small elixir shops now to pick up the missing items.
This is an information gap.
This idea was correct. Wu Tao really bought thirty-five pieces of low-grade spirit stone Qi Condensation Pill from a small elixir shop, but the quantity was very small and could not meet his needs at all.
He only bought three bottles of Qi Condensing Pills.
Only enough for one month of practice.
His original intention was to buy enough Qi Condensation Pills for half a year of cultivation, which was eighteen bottles. At this price, it only cost six hundred and thirty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.
continue.
But when he arrived at the second elixir shop, the store owner told him that there were no more elixirs in the store, and they had all been bought by a certain drug store. It was the name of a big elixir shop, and he said that each bottle cost thirty-eight low-grade spiritual stones.
The store owner looked like he was making a lot of money.
Wu Tao couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist, don't you want to postpone the sale for two days? Let's wait and see the market?"
The shopkeeper said: "I have never encountered such a high price in my small business. Yuanling Pavilion is willing to buy my elixir at a high price. I will sell it. If it is too late and the price becomes lower again, I will Wouldn’t it be a loss?”
Oh, this damn information is poor.
Wu Tao wasted no time and continued to browse the market. After looking around, he found that all the pills had been bought by the dozen or so large pill shops in the market.
grass!
Wu Tao cursed secretly, and could only go back to the pill shop where he often bought Qi Condensing Pills, and bought fifteen bottles for the price of forty-eight yuan per bottle of low-grade spiritual stones, for a total of seven hundred and twenty yuan in spiritual stones.
It’s my fault that I went to my grandma’s house.
Next is the medicinal materials shop. Fortunately, he is in the meat refining stage, and the medicinal materials only need thirty years. They are not real elixirs, so even if the price increases, they will not increase much.
Five medicinal materials originally cost one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, but now they cost one hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
One portion a day, thirty portions a month, which is 720 low-grade spiritual stones. He only has 2,364 low-grade spiritual stones left on him. He must keep at least 200 low-grade spiritual stones with him. Just in case.
Therefore, Wu Tao only purchased three months' worth of medicinal bath materials.
There are only two middle-grade spiritual stones and four low-grade spiritual stones left on him.
"Being poor again!"
Wu Tao was walking on the way home. He felt the shriveled bag of spirit stones and his face turned bitter. "We need to store some spirit rice and monster meat. Let's store it for a month. Then wait for the spirit stones from Boss Yu to arrive."
It was impossible for him to spend all the spirit stones.
When buying spirit rice, Wu Tao, thinking of his friendship with Han Tiezhu, told him to be careful during this period. Han Tiezhu immediately thought of the last time he was a demon cultivator and thought it was another demon cultivator this time. He hurriedly said that he had been staying in the fields during this period.
He bought 300 kilograms of spirit rice and 30 kilograms of monster meat. Because there were too many things, he didn't have a storage bag, so he could only hire a porter in the market to help him deliver them to his home on Xinming Street at the price of ten broken spirit stones.
When he got home, Wu Tao locked himself in the house.
All the soundproof and anti-peeping formations were turned on. Looking at the supplies in the room, his heart was finally settled a lot.
"Practice harder, improve your strength, and don't go out unless it's necessary."
Wu Tao made a decision in his heart and immediately opened his personal information.

"Practice!"
After closing his personal information, Wu Tao immediately took out the Qi Condensation Pill and began to practice Sanyang Gong.
Now his life is only about three things: practicing Sanyang Gong, practicing Dragon Spear Technique, tempering the flesh, and refining robes to deliver to Shopkeeper Yu.
…
The next day.
Wu Tao had just refined a Qi Condensation Pill when the soundproof and anti-peeping formation sounded a reminder that someone was knocking on the door outside.
Hearing the knock, Wu Tao was a little nervous, but then he thought that if it was a demon cultivator, they would not be so polite to knock on the door, they would just knock in directly.
He relaxed a little, but still looked through the peeping eye.
What came into view were the cultivators from the Demon Slaying Hall and two cultivators from the patrol team.
