Jiang Yuebai found the cheapest inn in the city and booked a room for only three days.
If she couldn't earn any spirit stones in three days, she would have to dig a hole in the mountains.
After sealing the inn room, Jiang Yuebai returned to the Lotus Cave.
This time when she entered the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, she still saw the lotus platform emitting a green halo, and the base that was originally used to make the lotus platform invisible had been damaged. However, the lotus platform caused space fluctuations the moment she entered.
Jiang Yuebai didn't have the image-recording jade on her, so she had to let Xiaolu out. With the help of Xiaolu's ability to record images, she kept staring at the Five Elements Lotus Platform to see whether the lotus platform would remain in place or disappear after she went in.
After the small secret realm was taken over, a quarter of the originally barren cave heaven's territory was covered by the mountain of the small secret realm. It would take some time for it to merge with the land of the cave heaven.
Other places are still barren, with only grasslands transformed by chaotic energy.
At this time, all the little monsters, bee colonies and spirit beasts in the cave moved to the mountain of Yinxianmen, and Jiang Yuebai directly named it Yinxian Mountain.
In the dilapidated square halfway up the mountain, weeds grew out of the cracks in the broken blue bricks.
Jiang Yuebai gathered everyone together, explained the situation, and asked the spirit beasts to "voluntarily" lend her some spirit beast blood in exchange for start-up capital to make money.
These spiritual beasts were picked by Yun Shang for her. They were left roaming in the cave without much care, and she only provided them with the basic things they needed for cultivation.
On the one hand, it was because the spirit beast's growth rate could not keep up with her cultivation, and on the other hand, it was because she did not have time to raise it.
Now that I think about it, it was such a waste.
Previously, in the stone chamber of the Hidden Immortal Sect, she found a recipe among those ancient recipes for an elixir that could quickly improve the cultivation level of spirit beasts. When she had money to buy medicinal materials, she could try to refine some and train some spirit beast thugs.
The various exotic insects that Yunchang cultivated with great difficulty, as well as the green-armored bee colonies and the thunder hound are very good.
Before leaving, Jiang Yuebai specifically instructed two dragonfly demons who acted as housekeepers to lead other demons and spirit beasts to help repair various buildings on Hidden Immortal Mountain.
She doesn't keep idle animals here. The auspicious little cubs also have to move bricks, and the tree dragon Hongye also has to take care of two grass dragon eggs and learn the human language and knowledge with the grass dragon eggs.
Back in the inn room, Jiang Yuebai checked the scene that Xiaolu had observed. As she had deduced, the lotus platform had changed. After it entered, the force of the surrounding space fluctuated and it disappeared directly.
Xiaolu tried to look for the place where the lotus platform disappeared, but found nothing.
This is a good thing for Jiang Yuebai as it increases safety. At least, the existence of the lotus platform cannot be detected during the Nascent Soul stage. It is not known whether cultivators above the Spiritual Transformation stage can detect it.
After selling the spirit beast's blood, Jiang Yuebai bought some blank talisman paper and many medicinal materials for refining Peiyuan Dan.
With this kind of Qi-refining cultivator's elixir, she could close her eyes, take a frying pan and refine it with her feet, and she could produce nine top-grade pills in one furnace.
Even though the profit was small, it could add up to a lot. Who told her that she didn't have enough capital and really had nothing to sell? Xiyun City had the most Qigong practitioners, so naturally she had to make money from them.
Jixiang and Hongye's blood was too high-level, so she didn't dare to attack them casually. She could only bully those low-level spirit beasts. She only took a small bottle of blood from each beast, and they could recover in two days.
Unable to afford an alchemy furnace, Jiang Yuebai borrowed an old wok from the inn's kitchen, which still had a smell of pepper and numbing pepper.
In addition to making money, she has been able to calm down these days and continue practicing the "Chaos Nirvana Kung Fu".
The chaotic energy in the Lotus Cave Heaven is enough for her to practice for a while. Before it is used up, she doesn't need to eat anything specifically to refine the chaotic energy. But she just feels hungry, and she wants to take a bite of anything with spiritual energy.
"No, no, I have to control myself!"
Jiang Yuebai tried hard to suppress her hunger and returned to the main topic. She thought that her exploration of the chaotic energy was not deep enough, and she had to work with Bai Jiuyou to make more attempts and verifications and record all kinds of data.
To ensure that she can exert the strongest effect of the chaotic energy in the future, so as not to waste the acquired chaotic body that she risked her life for.
Speaking of chaotic body, Jiang Yuebai has been thinking about a question these days: is she still considered a human being now? In short, she is not a pure demon now.
In fact, this question is no longer important to her. Just as she said, as long as she is Jiang Yuebai, it is enough.
Now the chaotic body can be transformed at will. If she wants to be a human, she can be a human. If she doesn’t want to be a human, she can become a monster. If she doesn’t want to be a monster, she can still be a demon for two days.
There are several different experiences on the road, which is also good!
Next, in order to better control the chaotic body, the accumulation of "Dragon God Transformation" must be used as soon as possible to improve physical strength.
After what happened last time, Jiang Yuebai felt that if she didn’t have the ability to kill a god-transforming cultivator across levels, as well as the physique and spiritual treasure to withstand the attacks of a god-transforming cultivator, she would not be able to sleep or eat!
"There are several kinds of elixirs in those ancient recipes that can be used in the Nascent Soul stage and can instantly heal injuries, as well as poisons that can affect Spiritualization cultivators. We must learn all of them. There are also one-time secret treasures that can kill enemies of higher levels and are extremely powerful. We must also collect billions of them."
Jiang Yuebai hugged himself tightly, feeling weak and pitiful, as he didn't even have a robe, and felt very insecure.
For this reason, she decided to restart the practice of "The Secret Book of Fire Refining the Sky".
The nine fire talismans selected by True Lord Canghuo in this practice are fully functional and easy to use. She had practiced them hard before, but gave up after forming the elixir, which was a pity.
Now there happens to be the "Ning's Talisman Technique" from the Big Dog Thief family, which has something in common with this skill. It can use the fire dragon's essence and blood to re-refine and improve the original nine fire talismans in the body, and then integrate the Netherworld Ghost Fire and Phoenix True Fire.
She just didn't believe it. With such strong Yin and Yang fires, plus the backup of the chaotic energy in her body which far exceeded ordinary spiritual energy, if she couldn't burn someone in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation to death, then at least she could burn someone in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation to death. There should still be a chance, right
If there is still no chance, then we will have to wait for her to integrate the White Dragon Spear into the essence and blood of the Candle Dragon and refine it into an acquired spiritual treasure!
She had read descriptions of the power of the domain created by acquired spiritual treasures in many books and had long wanted to experience it for herself.
In the inn room, Jiang Yuebai rubbed her hands in anticipation, full of energy. She made all the plans, used the white vine to create three clones, and did four things at once, proceeding step by step.
The original body was practicing, one clone was refining medicine in a frying pan, and one clone was drawing talismans at the table.
The last clone took the new "Collection of Five Flavors" and looked for the trace of Wuweishanren in it. She would not stay in this world for long.
As for Bai Jiuyou, he used the remaining dragon bones and dragon blood in his hands to repair his puppet clone in the Lotus Cave and completed the final transformation.
It could have been completed long ago, but because I was unable to complete the final part of the design with Jing Chujun, it has been delayed until now.
Thinking of Jing Chujun, Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but feel regretful. During the journey of cultivation, she was the first person who made Jiang Yuebai feel that she was "like-minded" and "like-minded".
"Don't think about it, just get to work!"

Two months later, Xiyun City.
Lu Wenquan, an alchemist in the middle stage of foundation building, spent half a year refining a large number of Peiyuan Pills for late stage Qi refining cultivators. Today, he went to Xiyun City specially to sell the pills in exchange for spirit stones to buy spiritual medicines for his practice.
Arriving at the largest Baidanfang in Xiyun City, Lv Wenquan walked in with full confidence. There are a lot of Qi-refining cultivators in Xiyun City, accounting for 90% of the city’s population, and Peiyuan Pills are often sold out.
Lu Wenquan walked in and threw the storage bag full of pills onto the counter.
"Do you want to take the Pei Yuan Pill?"
“No!”
"I have a large quantity, so your price is... What? You don't want it?"
Lv Wenquan was stunned. The guy who was counting the inventory behind the counter didn't even look at him. "We can't sell all the Peiyuan Pills in our store right now. We won't be collecting them for the time being."
Lu Wenquan couldn't believe it. "You have a fixed alchemist? Are you still hiring from other places?"
The clerk said, "There's an alchemist in the city with a very high delivery rate recently. He has bought all the Pei Yuan Dan in the city and won't accept it from other places."
a bolt from the blue!
Lu Wenquan was extremely shocked. How powerful an alchemist must be, with how high a delivery rate he must have, to be able to buy up all the Peiyuan Pills from the eighteen shops in the city
"No, doesn't the city regulations stipulate that a single person is not allowed to monopolize a business? How could this person ignore the city regulations?"
The clerk looked up and chuckled, "You don't understand this. That alchemist is a very powerful person. The city regulations alone are not a problem for her."
Before the guy could reply, a man walked in and said, "Hey, give me three bottles of the spicy premium Peiyuan Dan."
"Sir, that's called Fire Yuan Dan in our store."
"You guys, here's the spicy Huo Yuan Dan, the osmanthus flavored ones in the west of the city are called Jiu Yuan Dan, and the sesame and red bean flavored ones in the south of the city are called Dou Yuan Dan. With all these fancy tricks, aren't they still Pei Yuan Dan?"
Lv Wenquan was shocked when he heard this. How could they exploit the city regulations like this? Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The names were different, the tastes were different, how could they be said to be the same pill
"Sir, if you buy ten bottles at a time, we will give you the very popular "Collection of Witty Sayings" in the city. It's sold out outside."
Lu Wenquan: What is "Collection of Witty Sayings"
The guest who came in was visibly excited. "Is it the one that doesn't use any swear words, is very easy to understand, and is very irritating?"
“Yes, yes!”
"Then give me ten bottles!"
"The pills are over there, please take them." The waiter pointed casually.
Lü Wenquan: …
Are those small hills of top-grade Peiyuan Pills piled up over there
Seeing this, the two bottles of top-grade medicine in his hand were not worth showing off.
Lu Wenquan felt like crying but had no tears. It was just spicy. Wait, he would go back and prepare roast duck and soy sauce-flavored Peiyuan Dan!
However, before leaving, Lu Wenquan also bought ten bottles of "Fire Yuan Dan" and took away a copy of "Collection of Witty Sayings". After reading it, he won nine out of ten arguments with others and was no longer bound by the city rules.
*
At that time, Jiang Yuebai had just delivered the last batch of goods and finally took out all the letters.
She still had some spirit stones in hand, so she didn't plan to refine Peiyuan Pills anymore. Currently, the price of Peiyuan Pills in Xiyun City had been lowered by her, and the profit would be too low and inefficient to continue.
She was ready to leave Xiyun City; this place was giving her a headache!
A few days ago, she woke up in the middle of the night from practicing. She felt a little uneasy and wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. However, she was trapped in the room because of the bad rule of "no going out at night".
She could break the rules by force, but it was too eye-catching, so she just endured it.
Fortunately, the city regulations did not require her to stay in bed at night, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything else.
Holding the letter, Jiang Yuebai walked out of the Northern Star Alliance headquarters. Opposite her was the "Iron Mouth Prediction" stall. No one was queuing at the moment. A skinny old man with a goatee was leaning back in a chair, actually looking at the "Collection of Witty Sayings" that she had sold.
Jiang Yuebai suddenly had an idea and walked straight to the stall.
The Supreme Elder said that her fate was intertwined with Lu Xingyun's, so others could not predict her fate.
The cultivation panel has been taken out from the depths of her soul, and she wants to know if she can still calculate it now.
If so, does it mean that the connection between her and Lu Xingyun is broken
During this period of time, she couldn't help but wonder what Qi Siheng's purpose was in targeting her. On the surface, it seemed that Qi Siheng wanted to muddy the waters in the Qinglong Realm.
But Jiang Yuebai felt that it was not that simple. Qi Siheng’s target was not Bai Jiuyou. Otherwise, after recognizing Bai Jiuyou, why didn’t he recognize him or take Bai Jiuyou away
Therefore, Qi Siheng’s real target is most likely her.
Jiang Yuebai thought about it many times. Considering that Qi Siheng might be an old monster from Zhu Jiuyou's era, Jiang Yuebai felt that the only thing about her that was worth Qi Siheng's concern might be her intertwined fate with Lu Xingyun.
Such a guess was arbitrary and there was no direct evidence, but Jiang Yuebai's intuition told her that she was right.
The fortune teller Buxu Sanren who runs a stall is very famous in Xiyun City. Many foundation-building cultivators say that his divinations are extremely accurate. No matter whether he can calculate anything or not, they would like to give it a try first.
Jiang Yuebai walked to the fortune-telling stall and secretly looked at Buxu Sanren. His apparent cultivation level was at the initial stage of foundation building, but Jiang Yuebai felt that there was something strange about his spiritual aura and thought that his cultivation level should be more than that.
If it is a hidden master, that would be even better. Jiang Yuebai sat on a chair in front of the stall.
It was not known whether Buxu Sanren noticed her or not. He stroked his goatee and watched with great interest.
"Great! It's really a series of witty remarks!"
"Ahem, fortune-telling."
Without even raising his head, Buxu Sanren pushed a piece of paper in front of Jiang Yuebai.
"Birth date."
Jiang Yuebai looked at the paper. She never liked to reveal her birth date, but today, she would give it a try.
She took the brush next to her, wrote down her birth date and placed it in front of Buxu Sanren.
Buxu Sanren turned the page of the book and glanced at it. "This person has an unlucky fate. He is lonely and helpless, and he died at the age of six."
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled slightly. This was not wrong, but...
"May I ask, are there any more behind?"
Buxu Sanren put down the book, squinted his eyes, leaned forward, and looked at Jiang Yuebai carefully.
Jiang Yuebai felt a little guilty, her face was fake.
It was unknown what Buxu Sanren saw, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he pointed at the birth date and time.
"Write down when you died."
Jiang Yuebai didn't understand, but still wrote down a new date. That was the day she met Lu Xingyun, and it was also the day she was supposed to die.
She remembered everything about that day very clearly.
If Jiang Yuebai was dead before that, then she now is reborn at that moment.
After rewriting it, Buxu Sanren picked up the paper and looked at the time, stroking his beard and frowning.
"Tsk~ you...hiss...this...ah!"
Jiang Yuebai was so anxious that he was scratching his head. Was this a fortune-telling trick
Is it the kind of routine where he first tells you that your forehead is black and you will have a bloody disaster, and then you have to buy his things and do things according to his instructions in order to ward off the disaster
If so, isn't it okay for her to fall for it? !
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Jiang Yuebai urged.
Buxu Sanren put down the paper and looked up at the sky inexplicably. Jiang Yuebai also looked up at the sky. It was clear blue and cloudless.
"Girl, I really can't say this directly, so let me give you two words."
Mr. Buxu picked up the brush and a piece of gold-sprinkled paper, and with his pen moving like a dragon, he wrote down the two words with great momentum.
After Jiang Yuebai saw it clearly, he was shocked.
Sinking boat!
When she entered the city, she used the name Bai Yue'er. No one in this world knew her Taoist name. Is that a coincidence
My stock of manuscripts has been used up, and I will start writing code tomorrow morning, so the update will be around 12 noon tomorrow, not 8 a.m.
