Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 221

[221. Chapter 221 Secret Shop (asking for monthly ticket)]

The area of Dajing’s immortal cultivation world is ten times that of Qi State, and the same is true for its immortal cultivation resources.

There are eight Yuanying sects alone, with both good and evil mixed together.

They are the Nine Infants Sect of the evil path, the Blood God Cult, the Wan Gu Village, and the Zi Yang Sect.

As well as the righteous Xuantian Sect, Prajna Sect, Fentian Valley, and Qiankun Dao.

Among the eight major sects of righteousness and evil, there are countless Jindan forces, some of which are affiliated with one side, or secretly form alliances, which can be said to be a mixed bag.

It is said that if you go further east in the Dajing Immortal Cultivation World, you will reach a vast expanse of blue ocean, which the Immortal Cultivation World calls the “Hanhai”.

The vast sea is a dangerous place that cannot be crossed except by the Yuanying True Lord.

And on the other side of the vast ocean, there is an even more vast world!

The source of the Tianjian Sect and other major sects of good and evil is a group of pioneering monks from that world!
…

The Nine Infants Sect, on the ‘Perilla Prairie’ under its jurisdiction.

A blood cloud with a mighty momentum, with a sense of keeping away from strangers, swept over several nomadic tribes at a very fast speed and entered a farming area.

“The lives of the mortals in the Dajing Immortal Cultivation World are pretty much the same as those of the mortals in Qi Country… just as bad!”

“However, we can barely survive, and there are secular government management. After all, cultivators need spiritual roots. The larger the base, the higher the probability of producing top-grade spiritual roots…”

“Even if some demonic monks need corpses and blood for their cultivation… In fact, there are many mortals who die naturally every year. We can also collect ‘blood tax’ from mortal families, and promise a family that they can use young and strong people of appropriate age or even people with special fates to offset taxes and labor service… There will definitely be mortals willing to do it, and they may even flock to it.”

These are the information Fang Xing obtained from the jade slips given by the outer hall.

His current destination is ‘Mo Yun Immortal City’.

As for why the trading city of demon cultivators is also called the ‘Immortal City’, it is probably because the ultimate goal of all cultivators is to ascend to become immortals and achieve immortality, right?

After all, even the Tianjian Sect only claims to be a righteous sect, not an immortal sect.

Whether cultivating immortality or cultivating demons, the goal is actually the same.

Good and evil are just differences in ideas, but becoming an immortal is the eternal goal!

…

Mo Yun Immortal City is located in the heart of the Nine Infants Sect and is extremely dangerous for righteous sword immortals.

But Fang Xing came over in a swagger, and no demon cultivator came forward to question him.

Perhaps he felt that the Jindan demon in the blood cloud was difficult to deal with, and was afraid that he would become a part of the blood cloud…

Outside the Immortal City, Fang Xing collected the magic weapon “Blood Cloud Bag”, transformed into a big man in a black robe, and landed heavily on the ground.

“You are polite, senior.”

Several Qi-cultivating monks at the city gate hurried over to pay their respects. “I wonder why you came to Moyun Immortal City? We are all local guides and are very familiar with all the shops. We only need a low-grade spirit stone to hire you…”

“A low-grade spirit stone, the price is skyrocketing.”

However, when Fang Xing scanned with his spiritual sense, he found that this fairy city did not charge any admission fee.

Even in the city, there were occasional flashes of light from fighting. It was obvious that this fairy city did not prohibit fighting.

He randomly picked the one that looked the most pleasing to the eye: “Let’s pick you, what’s your name?”

“My humble self, Mo Yue, is honored to meet you, Senior.”

A young man with a delicate appearance and dressed like a servant bowed and smiled: “Senior, please… This city does not prohibit fighting, but after killing someone, you must pay a fine of spirit stones to the law enforcement team, otherwise you will be hunted down… In addition, you cannot fight in the major shops on the main street, please remember this…”

He gave a brief introduction and took Fang Xing into the fairy city.

“How come you, kid, have cultivated such a righteous technique?”

The reason why Fang Xing chose Mo Yue was because he was different from those evil guys and was actually practicing the righteous way.

“Senior, you have a keen eye. The Five Elements Technique I practice is a family tradition. My family was poor at the time and I could not afford to choose other methods, so I could only practice this… After the middle stage of Qi training, the cost of changing to another method was too high, and I might even fall back in realm, so I was delayed.”

Mo Yue hurriedly explained.

Although cultivators like him who practice non-demonic techniques can survive under the rule of the Nine Infants Sect, their status will always be inferior to others.

As for why the Nine Infants Sect tolerated it?
Fang Xing could probably guess that it was simply because the essence, blood, and souls of cultivators…had better effects than those of ordinary people.

Anyway, the philosophy of the magic path is to raise poisonous insects. If a disciple dies in such a poisonous insect breeding farm, it can only be regarded as bad luck for the other party. It depends on whether he wants to take revenge or not.

“I want to make some large transactions. Which local store has the best reputation? When will the big auction be held? Are there any secret shops of high-level monks?”

Fang Xing didn’t ask any further questions and directly stated his needs.

“If you want to trade on a large scale, the local ‘Zhengbao Store’, ‘Bayin Chamber of Commerce’, and ‘Gong Family Old Store’ are all good targets… This Immortal City’s grand auction is held every five years, and there is still a year to go before the next one…”

“As for the secret shop of high-level cultivators, I do know one. Many fake Dan Zhenren trade there, but the owner has a bad reputation and his credibility is a bit questionable…”

Mo Yue didn’t dare to hide anything and told them all.

“Then let’s go to Zhengbao Store first.”

Fang Xing made a decision.

He was full of murderous aura which was accumulated from killing many fake dan and jindan cultivators. Ghosts and gods were afraid of him when he walked on the road.

Even the monks who were fighting hurriedly avoided him when they saw the high-level monk in black clothes and full of murderous aura coming.

It was a rare opportunity for Mo Yue to have such a highlight moment, so he immediately held his head high and led the way.

In front of Zhengbao Bank.

“Please come in, senior. I’ll be waiting here.”

Mo Yue bowed.

He was just a small figure. If he knew too much, he would surely die. This was the awareness of many casual cultivators who made a living at the city gate.

“Um.”

Fang Xing walked into Zhengbao Store and came out after a long time: “Let’s go to the next store, ‘Bayin Merchants Association’…”

Mo Yue didn’t ask anything and continued to lead the way.

After that, there is the ‘Gong Jia Laodian’ and several other large stores.

After coming out of the last shop, Fang Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

The mountains of various low-level magic materials in his storage bag were cleared out this time and replaced with a small mountain of spirit stones.

Of course, most of the spiritual materials processed are first- and second-level spiritual materials.

As for the third-level materials and those magic weapons, they will definitely be kept for barter.

For high-level monks, this method is the mainstream transaction.

“Take me to that secret shop and you can leave.”

Fang Xing snapped his fingers and a low-grade spirit stone fell into Mo Yue’s arms.

“yes!”

Mo Yue put away the low-grade spirit stone with a look of joy on his face and led the way.

He led Fang Xing to a shop that looked very old and was built with huge stones, and bowed to the ground: “The owner of this secret shop calls himself ‘Stone Taoist’, and he is a fake Dan Mo cultivator. Please be careful, senior.”

“Um.”

Fang Xing looked calm as he walked into the shop.

The shop was very deserted, with only a skinny old Taoist sitting on a cushion.

His skin was grayish white, as if it had turned into a layer of stone, and looked extremely strange.

“Fossil Magic? This is one of the eight lower-level skills of the Nine Infants Sect’s unique skill, the ‘Heavenly Infants Heart Method’. It seems that this Taoist Stone has some connections with the Nine Infants Sect. With connections, there are channels and good stuff.”

Fang Xing felt a little excited.

“This fellow Taoist…”

Taoist Shi slowly opened his eyes. He had a pair of impressive bright yellow pupils. He said in a muffled voice, “What brings you to my shop?”

“Yes, I want to collect some high-level spiritual objects. I wonder if you have any?” Fang Xing went straight to the point.

No matter what secrets this Taoist priest Shi possesses, he will not be afraid even if the other party is the Nascent Soul old monster from the Nine Infants Sect.

This strong confidence immediately moved Shi Daoren: “So you are an honored guest. I wonder what kind of spiritual object you would like?”

“Thousand-year-old stone milk, the more the better… Also, do you have any third-level body-refining spiritual objects?”

Fang Xing looked at the stone skin on the stone Taoist’s body and his heart moved.

‘Fossil Magic’ is a well-known body-refining technique in the magic world. It is normal for this person to have several body-refining spiritual objects.

“Thousand-year-old stone milk? I only have a dozen drops of this stuff… Is it a third-level body-refining spiritual item? Have you heard of ‘Vajra Fruit’?”

The stone Taoist moved his eyes and replied.

“You actually have diamond fruit here? Not bad, not bad… and thousand-year-old stone milk, although the quantity is a little small, but I’ll take them all.”

Fang Xingduan is very wealthy.

When he entered the city, he examined the spiritual energy of the Mo Yun Immortal City, which appeared to be of the third-grade upper grade.

It is enough to form the elixir.

Of course, he would not choose to form the elixir here immediately. This only shows that the spiritual vein resources are abundant in Dajing.

At that time, you can find any force and rent a cave with third-level spiritual energy to condense the golden elixir.

As for which one to choose? Of course, you need to do a careful investigation before deciding.

“You are indeed a distinguished guest, but have you ever heard of the rules of our inn?”

Taoist Shi smiled.

“What rules?” Fang Xing asked casually.

“I have no shortage of spiritual stones. If you want to buy spiritual objects, you can either do something for me or bring out spiritual objects that I’m interested in…”

Taoist Shi said lightly.

This made Fang Xing, who had just received a large sum of spirit stones, look froze.

After a moment, he spoke: “What do you need, fellow Daoist? If the value is too different, I may not be willing to give it to you. After all, I am not short of spirit stones, and I don’t care about the price difference!”

Taoist Shi’s eyes moved, and he took out a jade slip: “Daoyou, please take a look…”

Fang Xing took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, nodded slightly, and patted his storage bag.

A jade box and several jade bottles appeared in his hands.

“I happen to have two things that meet your needs…”

“oh?”

Taoist Shi’s eyes shone brightly, and he opened a jade box with great interest: “Hmm… This Yin Zao is full of spiritual power, it is really top-grade…”

He opened another jade bottle, and a strong smell of blood emerged. “This kind of blood essence cannot be made without tens of thousands of strong men, and the blood essence of a large number of Qi training and foundation building cultivators… This method is not bad. Which sect did you come from?”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

Fang Xing’s expression turned cold: “Where are my goods?”

“Don’t worry, Taoist friend. I run this shop and I’m honest with everyone.”

Taoist Shi also slapped his storage bag, and a jade box and another jade bottle appeared in the void.
