After Li Yan's eyes flashed a few times, he stepped into his room and opened the ban at the same time.
Inside the room, Li Yan stood by the door. When he looked around, his spiritual sense had already begun to scan carefully. After dozens of breaths, he relaxed his gaze slightly and walked forward. He did not find anything unusual.
Although it is just a room, the space is more than twenty feet, which is considered very large.
Although there were no isolated rooms inside, there were beds, tables, and wooden shelves, all neatly arranged in certain areas, and they were spotless.
Even in a five-meter area that was as clean as new, there was only a cushion on the ground, which was used by the monks to meditate and practice.
After Li Yan thought about it, he waved his hand lightly, and suddenly four formation flags flew out from his sleeves. Silently, they landed on several corners of the house, disappeared in a flash, and went under the ground.
Then, a faint green halo rose from the ground along the base of the wall, and disappeared in just a breath.
Then Li Yan clasped his hands together again, and a soft "hum" sound was heard in the room, and then everything returned to silence.
After Li Yan sensed it with his spiritual sense, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
This small formation can serve as a warning against the invasion of cultivators, but it is useless for defense.
Now the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" can no longer keep up with his realm of use. In addition, Zi Kun remains in the lower realm, so the formation can no longer exert its full power.
The strongest "Yuanqi Taiqing Formation" that he had originally obtained was also left at the bottom of the swamp on Fengshen Continent. As a result, Li Yan had no good formation in his hands.
"I happened to come to the market this time. The scale of the businesses here is much larger than the two markets I have been to before.
Let's see if we can find a good defensive formation here, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes when we are outside in the future."
Li Yan thought to himself that without a good formation in hand, there would be many inconveniences when he was outside, especially with his personality, he demanded everything to be done to perfection as much as possible.
After Li Yan arranged the room, he went straight out of the room.
Now that he had come to the market, he would of course walk around, on the one hand to inquire about information; on the other hand to see if he could come across a suitable formation, or good things like raw materials.
After walking out of the room, Li Yan glanced to the side and saw that the fence outside Shangguan Tianque's room was still there. He didn't know whether he had already gone out or stayed in the room.
Just when Li Yan was holding the jade pendant and had just opened the restriction on the fence wall again, suddenly a cloud of mist surged on the fence wall diagonally opposite.
This made Li Yan, who was about to leave, stop subconsciously, then turned around and looked over.
The place they rented was not an independent courtyard, but because the rent here was very expensive, even for these two rooms, they paid two hundred medium-grade spirit stones in half a month.
According to Shangguan Tianque, there are some cheaper inns in the market town, but none of them have as good a reputation as the "Shuiyunjian" inn, so he would rather spend more spirit stones and stay here.
Li Yan didn't care about this. He would have no objection if you asked him to find a place in the market to meditate for half a month.
But even if they lived in the "Shuiyunjian" Inn, the living conditions they had could only be considered makeshift. The inn had better separate courtyards and even more luxurious accommodation.
But it is common for dozens or even hundreds of high-quality spirit stones to be spent there in a day, which is not something they can afford.
Amid the rolling clouds and mist on the opposite side, a fenced gate appeared, followed by a tall woman in a black dress who appeared diagonally to the side of Li Yan.
The man had a pair of bright autumn eyes, black eyebrows like scissors, and black hair flowing like a waterfall. Every strand of hair was as smooth as silk and sparkled with a healthy luster.
The streamlined hair fell naturally along her cheeks, and a few strands of long hair were braided into thin braids that fell naturally.
Under the black skirt, one could vaguely see her fair skin. She was wearing long boots with strange patterns on her feet, revealing a small piece of her snow-white and warm jade, making her look as light as a giraffe.
What attracted the most attention was that she was wearing a silver mask, which looked like a half-moon, revealing only half of her flawless face, adding a sense of mystery.
After Li Yan glanced at the other person, he immediately turned around and walked out.
He only paid attention to it because of the changes in the opponent's formation.
After all, the other person lived in the same courtyard with him, and he knew what kind of people lived here, so of course he would pay attention to him. As for the other person's appearance, Li Yan simply ignored it.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are also women with extremely ugly appearances. This is either because of the cultivation techniques they practice, or because they have suffered some kind of blow and have lost the desire to protect their appearance, and have focused solely on cultivation.
But most women pay great attention to their appearance. Even if they originally have ordinary looks, after practicing immortal skills, their temperament, skin, etc. will undergo earth-shaking changes, thus leading to changes in their appearance.
Therefore, it is very common to see fairy-like female cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, but Li Yan has no interest in it.
"In the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the fluctuations in his aura seem to carry some water-based skills..."
At this time, Li Yan was quickly judging the other party's cultivation level and martial arts in his heart.
The female cultivator in the black dress looked at Li Yan's disappearing back, her body paused for a moment, and she quietly withdrew her spiritual consciousness. After looking at the room where Li Yan lived, she also walked out.
"This person is at a similar level to me, but looks very unfamiliar. He should not be a Nascent Soul cultivator from a nearby sect or immortal cultivation family. He is most likely just passing by here..."
In her heart, she was also observing the people who lived in the same courtyard with her, and was equally cautious.
After Li Yan left the inn, he looked at the people coming and going on the street. After a quick glance, he immediately chose a direction and walked forward...
More than two hours later, Li Yan walked out of a shop again. His face was still calm, making it impossible for others to tell what he was thinking.
During this period of time, he had taken a fancy to several formations here, but no matter which one, the price offered was too expensive. The cheapest formation required 40,000 high-quality spirit stones.
Even considering Li Yan's wealth, he was still shocked.
Except for a few top-grade spirit stones, if all the other spirit stones on him were exchanged for high-grade spirit stones, plus the 30,000 high-grade spirit stones given by Shangguan Tianque, he would only have a little over 100,000.
This is what Li Yan got after he killed many people in the lower world and once defeated Mang Yan and the other man.
These are not the most important things. After Li Yan carefully examined the formations with his spiritual sense, he felt that they were not worth the price.
He had also been to two other markets, and after comparison, he felt that the prices in the Fairyland Market were too inflated and often not worth the money.
This may be related to the fact that there are too many truly high-level cultivators here. In a place where even cultivators of the Void Refining and Fusion stages appear, high-quality spirit stones are nothing at all.
Once these old monsters make a move, top-grade spirit stones may appear in some transactions.
Li Yan could still afford tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones, but these arrays could be used temporarily for emergency situations. Overall, he was not very satisfied. He had to get value for money for the spirit stones he spent. Therefore, after thinking about it, he gave up the arrays he liked and wanted to look for more before making a decision.
After visiting many shops, Li Yan had some guesses about this market. He felt that this market might be aimed at cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Realm and below.
Because among all the magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. that he had seen, the strongest ones were basically at the level of incarnation.
"There is another level above the Refining Void Realm. They should have their own market, but this is simply beyond my understanding at this level."
Li Yan stood on the street, touching his chin with one hand, still thinking continuously in his mind.
He simply didn't care about the magic weapons and formations at the Nascent Soul level. There weren't many magic weapons at the Incarnation level here, and most of them were offensive, with very few defensive ones.
The defense of several formations is acceptable, but the price makes Li Yan feel that it is too high.
With his current strength, the Nascent Soul cultivators pose basically no threat to him, and he is unwilling to confront the God Transformation cultivators head-on. Of course, he wants to find a treasure that can resist the attacks of the God Transformation cultivators.
Now that he has not encountered a suitable treasure, if he meets a spirit again next time, without any constraints in his heart, he will definitely choose to escape first and will never fight head-on again.
"I also went to a few big shops and got some understanding of the situation here, but there is still no news about 'Guiqulaixie'..."
Another thing that made Li Yan equally depressed was that he still couldn't find out about "Guiqulaixi". After hearing this name, some of the merchants even asked him if he was looking for an inn.
Li Yan wanted to send some news to the underworld as quickly as possible, and the only way he knew of that could possibly achieve this goal was to "return home", but he just couldn't find the other party.
Afterwards, Li Yan secretly inquired whether there was any way to pass the message to the lower world. Those servants or guests all said that there was no way to communicate between the upper and lower worlds.
By now, Li Yan also knew how difficult it was for him to return to the mortal world. Even finding the spatial node to return to the lower world would not be a matter of a day or two.
Moreover, since he has integrated the rules of the fairy world, even if there is a node in front of him, he must have a way to circumvent the rules.
And all of this is something he is simply unable to do at the moment.
To conceal the aura of rules, one must either have special magic weapons or have extremely high cultivation levels to conceal some of the secrets of heaven.
After a while, Li Yan collected his thoughts and walked towards a place, which was a free market street he had passed by before.
There are basically some small stalls set up by individuals inside, and the items sold are things that can only be used by foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators.
There are even quite a few low-quality spiritual tools that are only used by young cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage.
Li Yan is still very interested in this kind of free market. There are both real and fake things in it, and occasionally some good things can appear, but that depends on one's vision and luck.
Since he couldn't find what he wanted, Li Yan walked towards that place.
As he walked, his aura had quietly dropped to the middle stage of the Golden Core, so he would not be conspicuous there.
In the bustling crowd, all kinds of hawking sounds are heard, making it very noisy and chaotic. In the middle is a constant stream of people, and on both sides of the road are stalls of all sizes.
The expressions of the monks here are also different. They often sit cross-legged on one side of the road with a yellow or red cloth spread in front of them.
There will be some things of different sizes placed on it, including medicinal herbs, finished pills, bones and furs of monsters, cultivation techniques and spells, etc.
Some people were enthusiastically soliciting business from passers-by, while others were meditating with their eyes closed, and only said a few simple words when asked, appearing very aloof.
For a moment, Li Yan seemed to have returned to the Peiyang Market, and he seemed to see that weak and timid girl again.
"I don't know what realm Senior Sister Bai Rou and Sun Guoshu have reached, and what their current situation is? And whether Min'er and Master's Wife have successfully formed a baby..."
Li Yan walked slowly in the crowd. From the stalls in the market, he thought of Bai Rou and the other person he met at the beginning, and then he thought of Zhao Min and the others. For a moment, he was in a state of confusion...
Slowly, as Li Yan walked, his mood gradually returned to normal.
He began to release his spiritual sense and searched for things on the stalls on both sides. With the strength of his spiritual sense, the search speed was extremely fast. Here he was not worried that anyone would discover his spiritual sense.
Just like that, after walking among the crowd for about a quarter of an hour, Li Yan suddenly stopped.
Then, he slid and turned, and walked slowly towards a stall on the side. There was not much expression on his face, as if he was just strolling here casually.
Soon, he came to a stall. Behind the stall was a middle-aged fat monk whose cultivation was in the late foundation building stage. At this moment, he was talking in a low voice with an old man.
Seeing that there was one more person staying in front of the stall, the middle-aged fat monk took a quick look with his spiritual sense, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately put on a respectful look.
The old man also sensed someone approaching from behind, and he also scanned with his spiritual sense, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
He was just a foundation-building cultivator. After he took a fancy to something, he was bargaining with the other party.
Sensing Li Yan's cultivation level, he couldn't help but worry whether the other party also took a fancy to the thing in his hand. If so, then he would have no hope at all.
Even if the opponent doesn't use strength to bully me, he can kill me with spirit stones alone.
"Senior, if you see anything you like on the stall, just tell me directly!"
The middle-aged fat monk was also nervous, but he was also very tactful. He suppressed his uneasiness and spoke respectfully.
"Oh, go ahead, I'm just taking a look!"
Li Yan waved his hand, then stood in front of the stall and looked through the piles of things.
After the two heard what Li Yan said, the old man was the first to feel relieved. As long as the other party was not coming for the things in his hands, it would be fine. He had been searching for a long time and just happened to find what he wanted today.
However, the next transaction between the two was not as slow as before. After just a few quick words, they ended the bargaining and completed the deal quickly.
After all, there was a Jindan cultivator standing next to them. Although he allowed the two of them to do as they pleased, they could only feel uneasy.
The two wanted to complete the transaction as quickly as possible. The old man wanted to leave early, while the middle-aged fat monk wanted to come and respectfully receive this senior as soon as possible.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and they all tacitly give in to the bargaining...
After the old man left, the middle-aged fat monk stood there with a flattering smile on his face, but he did not dare to interrupt Li Yan's searching gaze.
