In an endless dark space, with strong and turbulent winds, a huge meteorite with an area of more than a thousand feet is quietly suspended in the void. In front of the meteorite, there is a horizontal line formed by five-colored light waves in the sky, like a gap of dozens of feet in the dark sky, which makes this endless dark world seem to have an exit.
In the front of the huge meteorite, there are three people with long hair hanging down to the ground sitting cross-legged. They are dressed in tattered clothes, their faces are gray and shriveled. At this moment, the three of them are staring at a line of aurora in the sky ahead.
"We've received news that two of the three 'Boundary Breaking Pearls' have been found, but because of the long time, the seal is unbreakable. We still need to find a rare elixir and refine it into a medicine before we can hope to melt it. This matter will be delayed for some time." An old voice sounded in a low voice among the three.
"I have no doubt about cooperating with them. We have gone through many hardships to get here, but once here, we still cannot break out. When will they be able to open this place? Senior Brother, have you asked?" A weak voice suddenly asked from another person with long hair hanging to the ground.
After he said this, there was a moment of silence. Later, the old voice said, "They only have simple information to pass to the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm may have given us all the information, or may have kept some secrets. After all, we cooperated and each took what we needed, just as we were wary of them. But according to the news, it should not exceed four years at most. Only one 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' was found before, and the other one was discovered when it was about to be obtained. The thief was captured and disappeared. The other 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' was obtained some time ago, but according to their tests, it is not known whether it has been sealed for too long or the operation method is improper. The power is not enough to open the space channel here, so it needs to be re-refined. Even so, what was originally done by one 'Boundary Breaking Pearl' may require two 'Boundary Breaking Pearls' to open a space channel."
"If that's the case, we must ask them to break through the space barrier here as soon as possible. We can't get through the cracks in the Yinmo Cliff. That place must be heavily guarded by monks. It's not so secretive and reliable." The weak voice was determined this time.
"Of course I don't care about this matter. You don't need to tell me, Sixth Junior Brother. We have lost more than 200 disciples in order to come here." The old voice said in a deep voice. Then he looked behind him through the gaps in his messy hair. There was a large group of thin and ragged people sitting cross-legged. These people just stared at the three people in front of them silently, but their eyes were more focused on the horizontal line of light in the sky. Their black blood pupils flashed with bloodlust...
Li Yan stood on the street and looked around. This place was really full of willows and shops. There were many monks in strange clothes walking in groups of three or two, or alone. When they sensed that Li Yan was looking at them, some of them glared back at him, as if they would fight if they disagreed with him. Some of them quickly avoided Li Yan and walked away. There were also some people dressed in exotic styles. Some of the beautiful women would even cast flirtatious glances at Li Yan from time to time when they saw him looking at him.
Li Yan quickly withdrew his gaze. The cultivators here were not like those in the small towns or markets he had seen before. The cultivators here were mixed, and there were even quite a few demon cultivators who swaggered around with horns on their heads or wagging their long tails, unscrupulously walking around.
This made Li Yan very curious for a moment, but after just a few glances, he even withdrew his spiritual sense. Although most of the people on the street were Qi Condensation cultivators and first-level monsters, second-level monsters and foundation-building cultivators also accounted for a small half. His gaze attracted some dissatisfied glares, especially when a strong aura occasionally passed by here, and it turned out to be a Jindan cultivator. Although it was very rare, how could Li Yan dare to scan with his spiritual sense
Li Yan was pondering what Ouyang Jinfei had said before. Half an incense stick later, Li Yan followed Ouyang Jinfei and his two disciples into a majestic temple in the city. Ouyang Jinfei took him straight to a side hall with familiarity, where a Zen master was meditating with his eyes closed. Seeing Li Yan and the other three coming, he nodded with a smile, asked the four to pay the spirit stones for entering the city, and briefly explained some rules of the city, such as no fighting and no killing in the city, and then let them go. This is the sphere of influence of the Pure Land Sect, and there is a Buddha sitting here, but there is no blind cultivator who is so idle as to make trouble. As for the Yuanying old monster, they are people who are hard to find. If someone really shows up suddenly, it is estimated that it will definitely attract the attention of the master of the Pure Land Sect. No force will ignore the appearance of a Yuanying cultivator in their sphere of influence, which is extremely dangerous.
After Li Yan and his three companions entered the city, or rather, entered the secret city of immortal cultivators, Li Yan's eyes suddenly became clear, and a house layout that was completely different from the one outside the temple just now appeared before his eyes.
Since Ouyang Jinfei got the poison pill he needed, he has been even more respectful to Li Yan. He pointed to the north of the city and said, "There is a courtyard over there. It is where the Buddha is guarding here. How about I accompany Brother Jiang Hai there?"
Li Yan smiled and shook his head, "This is my first time here. I want to get familiar with the environment first, and then I can go there by myself. There is no need to trouble Brother Ouyang." Ouyang Jinfei no longer had any doubts at this moment, and of course he laughed, "Brother Jiang Hai is right. This is not a place where ordinary cultivators gather. It is an important city of the Pure Land Sect. Whether it is the market or the auction house, they are quite good. They often do not disappoint foreign cultivators, and they can even find some rare items. As for the Buddha's courtyard, it is easy to recognize. Go north and you can see an independent and magnificent courtyard. It is very conspicuous."
Li Yan smiled and nodded when he heard this. He stopped talking and bowed to Ouyang Jinfei.
Ouyang Jinfei didn't understand what was going on, so he bowed and said, "I just heard that fellow Daoist Jiang Hai will often come here to trade with the Pure Land Sect in the future. So I hope you can leave more pills for me next time. The price is naturally negotiable. Daoist friend just needs to leave a message at the Fenglin Pavilion. The owner of that shop is a good friend of mine and will notify me as soon as possible. Well, that's it. I won't bother you anymore. I have some things to deal with here, so I'll say goodbye now." After Ouyang Jinfei finished speaking, he walked forward with two disciples. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and turned back again.
Li Yan looked at Ouyang Jinfei who had turned around, feeling somewhat unhappy. He had already sold the elixir to him. If the other party still insisted on going with him, then he would be letting the other party know how powerful he was. However, his face remained expressionless, and he just looked at Ouyang Jinfei who had walked a few steps back to him.
"Oh, I just heard that you are going to the market. I guess you have something to buy. If it is ordinary medicine refining materials, they can be easily found. If it is more rare raw materials, the market here is not small. Fellow Daoist Jiang Hai will have to search one by one, which will inevitably be a lot of trouble. I heard that there will be an auction in the auction house here in the next two days, and some of the items auctioned are said to be very extraordinary. They are all excellent raw materials for refining medicine. If you are interested, you may go and have a look. The price will definitely be much higher than the market, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed, guaranteed by the auction house. Every year, the auction house will hand over a lot of spirit stones to the Pure Land Sect. Since the opening, there has never been any inferior or fake things. In the market, you can only rely on your personal vision and luck. If you buy the wrong thing and can't catch the other party on the spot, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck." Ouyang Jinfei pondered for a moment and said something to Li Yan.
This made Li Yan's heart move. Along the way, the markets were not too big. Although he had been to the auction house, he did not find anything suitable for him. The Yuguan City in front of him was several times larger than the towns he had seen before, which gave him hope. Ouyang Jinfei came back to tell him about this, which meant he wanted to make friends with him.
"Oh, then does Brother Ouyang know what is being auctioned this time?" Li Yan's smile became even more intense.
“I actually came here for the auction this time, but… I just come here to pick up some bargains. With the strength of our sect, we can only look at the real good things. But even if it is just to see them, it will be beneficial for cultivators like us. Moreover, some of the more rare materials may not be needed by anyone, so I might be able to get them by luck. But there are many people who think the same as me, hehe…” Ouyang Jinfei showed a trace of helplessness on his face. The items at the auction are often unsalable, and their small sect is just looking for an opportunity. But this time he has no confidence at all. It cost him nine thousand spirit stones to buy the elixir from Li Yan before, which made him heartbroken. But the price of elixir, except for low-level elixir, has always been shockingly high, not to mention two poison elixirs. He doesn't want them, and he believes that someone will rush to buy them at a higher price.
The 'Fine Iron Pill' that Li Yan took out could kill a cultivator with just a tiny scrape of it. This pill was not meant to be used all at once and was very scarce. However, for Li Yan, this pill was not as effective as the fragmented toxins he could easily get, so he sold it at more than double the price.
After spending nine thousand spirit stones, the elder of Qianfeng Mountain had spent twenty percent of his family fortune. He had accumulated these spirit stones for decades. A third-rate sect could only earn tens to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a year. He also had to practice every day, and these spirit stones were earned bit by bit. Now he had even less confidence in the auction, but he believed that when the time came he only needed to sell one of the pills to the sect, and he would be able to make it back. The poison pill of the Hu Chen family was a good thing that the sect could not get no matter how hard they tried.
Ouyang Jinfei was thinking in his heart, but he kept talking, "I heard that there is a pair of eyes of a second-level golden dragon python. It should be a second-level initial material, right? Or it may be of some other grade, but I don't know; there is also a set of water magic weapon 'Water Linking Sword'. I heard that this treasure has reached the initial and middle stages of the refining, so it must be very popular; as for the others, I don't have much information. It seems that there are some refining materials, such as 'Crystal Bone Water' and 'Moon-gazing Rhinoceros Tooth', but I don't know the grade of these materials. Go straight ahead from here to the auction house. Do you see the shop with a big flag? Turn right from there and go forward about two miles, then ask, and you can easily find it. However, the auction seems to start the day after tomorrow. Daoist Jiang Hai can go around the market here after finishing his business in the next two days."
When Li Yan heard what Ouyang Jinfei said, his heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He just nodded with a smile.
