Chapter 187 Purchasing Pills
Tianhe Market can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first is the stall area. Most of the people doing business here are independent cultivators. It is a bit like the trade fair held by the Liu family every six months.
However, the stall area here, both in terms of specifications and quality, far exceeds the trade fair held spontaneously by independent cultivators of the Liu family.
There is basically no threshold to set up a stall here. You only need to pay five spirit stones every day to set up a stall here.
The second part is the building area. There are various types of buildings here. It is not just a place to sell elixirs, weapons, arrays and talismans. It is similar to various restaurants, teahouses, or inns for accommodation, etc., everything is available.
Of course, if you want to buy a store here, the spirit stones required are absolutely an astronomical figure, so Tianhe Sect basically rents out the shops here to those immortal cultivation families.
However, the spirit stones collected are also quite expensive, which is definitely not affordable for ordinary independent cultivators.
At least one must be a cultivator in the foundation-building stage to have such financial resources and strength, and some shops in the core area may even have the shadow of some Jindan Zhenren behind them.
The third part is the cave area in the center.
Tianhe Sect turned the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the market into a cave. Through the spiritual energy of the lower ground veins drawn by the spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy gathered is even more concentrated than the second-level spiritual veins.
However, the cave is only allowed to be rented for a long time. Each contract is signed for a year, and the spiritual stones collected are also quite exaggerated.
In short, if you want to live here, spiritual stones are absolutely indispensable.
"It's really eye-opening. I saw three or four shops selling elixirs along the way."
Li Qing, who had just entered the Tianhe market and had a simple stroll, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Li Qing went through the things he needed to buy in his mind at the fastest speed, and put the more important ones at the front.
The first is the elixir that can improve the cultivation and improve the magic power, which is very important for a cultivator with poor qualifications like him.
The second is the high-year spiritual wood. Of course, it is best to have some spiritual wood seeds or something like that, because in the world of cultivation, no matter what it is, once it is high-year, the price cannot be low.
Although Li Qing now has more than 2,000 spiritual stones, if he really puts them in Tianhe Market, I am afraid that he can't even splash a splash.
In addition, there are some things related to refining.
Refining is the foundation of one's life after all.
Now that he has the ability to refine low-grade magic tools, as long as the refining skills become more sophisticated, he may consider leaving the Liu family and living in Tianhe Market for a long time.
"Huh! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take it step by step!" Li Qing clenched his fists, turned around and came to a very imposing building.
Dan Ding Pavilion!
Looking at the three gold-plated characters on the building, Li Qing quickly recalled the origin and background of this building.
"It is said that this is a pill pavilion opened by Tianhe Sect in the market. It is also a pill shop with the most and most complete varieties. It is much more reassuring than the shops opened by those immortal cultivation families."
"But the price of pills is also more expensive than other shops."
"Spending spirit stones here does not require the same tiptoe as in the Liu family. I can visit every pill shop once, and spend one to two hundred spirit stones in each shop, which will definitely not attract other people's attention."
With the cultivation level of the middle stage of Qi Refining, spending one or two hundred spirit stones to buy pills in Tianhe Market will definitely not attract attention.
Thinking of this, Li Qing walked into the building called Danding Pavilion.
As soon as his footsteps stepped over the wooden threshold, the circle of restrictions arranged around it lit up slightly.
"Huh?!" Li Qing looked at this strange restriction with some surprise.
"Brother Dao, don't worry. This layer of restriction only blocks the noise from the outside world and blocks the fragrance of the elixir in the building from leaking out. It is not a detection type of restriction!"
A crisp voice sounded, which sounded very sweet and pleasant.
Soon, a young girl monk with a rosy face and a very cute appearance came forward.
Her eyes were very clear. She was not tall, but she looked a little smart and well-behaved.
"Oh! So that's it. Thank you for your explanation, fellow Daoist!" Li Qing looked at the girl gratefully, and then was secretly shocked.
Late stage of Qi Refining!
As expected of the Tianhe Sect, whether it is a human or a ghost, his cultivation is higher than his!
After Li Qing entered the Danding Pavilion, he found that it was exactly as the girl said.
Just now, the outside world was still a bit noisy and noisy, but it became quiet and peaceful inside.
And there was a strong fragrance of elixir inside, which made people feel refreshed just by smelling it.
The decorations around were nothing special, very classical and elegant.
On the shelf against the wall, there were many white jade porcelain bottles, all of which were various kinds of elixirs.
"What kind of elixirs does this Taoist friend plan to buy?" The girl's smile was very pure and lovely, making people feel like being bathed in spring breeze.
Li Qing's heart was calm, and he immediately said: "I want to buy some elixirs that can improve my cultivation and improve my magic power. I wonder."
The girl smiled and nodded, and soon led Li Qing to a shelf with elixirs.
"There are three kinds of elixirs in Danding Pavilion that can improve the cultivation of Qi Refining."
"Fellow Daoist, you are in the middle stage of Qi Refining. I suggest you buy this Peiyuan Pill and Guangling Pill!"
"I don't need to say much about Peiyuan Pill. This kind of pill has a significant effect on cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining."
"And this Guangling Pill was accidentally made by Guangling Zhenren, a great elder of our Tianhe Sect, in his spare time many years ago. Its characteristic is that it has less pill poison and has a significant effect on the early and middle stages of Qi Refining. In the late stage of Qi Refining, the effect will decrease a lot."
Listening to the girl's introduction, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the past, the pills that were rarely seen at the Liu family's casual cultivator trade fair were sold in three kinds at once in this Danding Pavilion.
"What is the price?" Li Qing asked with concern.
The girl smiled sweetly and took out two porcelain bottles from the shelf. She introduced: "This is Peiyuan Pill, which sells for fifty-five spirit stones. This bottle is Guangling Pill, which only costs thirty-five spirit stones!"
Not cheap! But within the affordability!
Li Qing pursed his lips, then showed an expression of hesitation, and finally said with some heartache:
"Well, I want five Guangling Pills and two Peiyuan Pills!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the girl's face became even brighter, and she immediately packed the pills for Li Qing.
"Sincerely, 285 spiritual stones!"
Unfortunately, no matter how sweet the smile was, it was difficult to soothe the pain Li Qing felt when he took out the spiritual stones.
285 spiritual stones, almost catching up with the spiritual stone income of an ordinary spiritual miner in a year!
After the money and goods were settled, Li Qing walked out of the Tianhe Sect's shop with the pills in his hand.
Soon, the hustle and bustle outside the market filled his ears again, and Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have to hurry up. I'm taking a month off this time. Excluding the time for the round trip, I can only stay in Tianhe Market for about seven days at most."
After getting the first batch of pills, Li Qing did not stop and started to wander around the building area in Tianhe Market again.
After passing a building similar to a gladiatorial arena, Li Qing could clearly sense the spiritual power fluctuations and various cheers coming from it.
"My fellow Taoist, this is my first time in Tianhe Market. What is this place?" Li Qing asked curiously, pulling over a cultivator who had just come out.
"Hey, this is the Colosseum opened by the Tianhe Sect. Some cultivators who raise monsters will come here to participate in the beast fighting. They can earn a lot of spirit stones for every win."
"If you don't have a monster, you can also participate in the betting. If you win the bet, you can also earn a lot of spirit stones!"
"Hahaha, let's not talk about it. I just made a small profit. I'm going to visit Lingfeng Tower today."
The cultivator who earned spirit stones was obviously in a good mood. After answering Li Qing's question, he walked towards the direction of another suspended island with a dazed pace.
Colosseum? There is such a place!
The cultivators in Tianhefang City are really good at playing, and their tricks are more novel than one.
Li Qing took a look and thought of Fan Tong for a while, but quickly suppressed this idea.
Fan Tong, this hot guy has mixed blood. Although he is a tiger-like monster, his combat power is not necessarily much stronger than other monsters.
The two have depended on each other for so many years, there is no need to let it take risks to earn this kind of spirit stones for itself.
Li Qing shook his head and casually asked about the conditions for admission.
It turned out that this Colosseum was not often opened. After all, monsters are very rare nowadays. It will only be opened once when there are enough monsters registered to participate in the battle.
The battle between monsters can be considered fair. They are all at the same level. It is rare for a monster in the early stage of the first stage to fight a monster in the middle stage of the first stage.
This also added a lot of suspense, so that every opening attracted countless cultivators.
"It seems that the life of a cultivator is not just boring practice, but also needs other elements in life." Li Qing sighed, but he didn't want to watch it.
Because the ticket is not cheap, the admission ticket is ten spirit stones!
It is enough for him to set up a stall in the stall area of the square for two days, and today's beast fight is coming to an end. It is really not worth buying a ticket to watch it.
"Let's watch some beast fights after I leave the Liu family. Time and spirit stones are not enough now!"
Li Qing, who had a clear understanding of his current situation, immediately shook his head and walked towards the shops of other families selling elixirs, preparing to buy some more elixirs for cultivation.
He knew very well how poor his qualifications were with four spiritual roots. In the world of cultivating immortals, such spiritual roots were called mixed spiritual roots, which were only slightly better than the pseudo spiritual root cultivators with five spiritual roots.
At first, Li Qing thought that he had four spiritual roots that could sense the four attributes, which was a very good qualification. Later, after learning the truth, he was hit speechless.
He lacked water in the five elements, so he practiced the fire attribute technique.
For ordinary casual cultivators, without the support of more resources, it can basically be said that practicing to the late stage of Qi Refining is the limit.
Li Qing estimated that if there were no elixirs, he would probably have to spend at least more than 20 years to touch the edge of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and then he would have to be stuck at the bottleneck for a long time, relying on time to polish.
If you are lucky, perhaps you can cultivate to the seventh level of Qi Refining when you are in your sixties or seventies, but it will be more difficult to improve after that.
It is worth mentioning that the life span of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage is not significantly increased. Even if a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage can live to be 120 years old, it is quite rare.
This can only be achieved by those who have been practicing Qi Refining for a lifetime and rarely fight with others.
If you are injured and your own vitality is damaged, your life span will naturally be shortened.
After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, fighting with others is always inevitable.
Either for opportunity or for hatred.
"Grow steadily and live a low-key life!" Li Qing whispered to himself.
