Chapter 1363
As Xiao Hua lamented Yong Shang's bitter experience, he was about to put away the Marrow Cleansing Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills. However, at this moment, Xiao Hua suddenly froze. His mouth revealed a bitter smile as he inwardly thought, "Just now, I was still talking about Yong Shang. Look at me, I already have the Marrow Cleansing Pill in my hands, yet I still want to use it in the future.
While searching for treasures, I need to increase my cultivation. If I don't take it now, when I encounter danger in the Yu Lian Mountains and need magic power in the next few days, wouldn't the heavens and earth be unable to help me? "
Thinking this, Xiao Hua looked at the people nearby who were all closing their eyes and adjusting their breathing. He put a Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into liquid that flowed into his abdomen. Soon after, it was absorbed by Xiao Hua's meridians. Xiao Hua didn't dare to be negligent. He began to circulate the cultivation method of the second layer of the Qi Refining realm and began to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill's medicinal power.
Just as Xiao Hua was concentrating on cultivating, the Reverse Light within the space stopped as usual. An indescribable fluctuation began to surge. At the same time, the starlight in the sky shone down, wrapping Xiao Hua in the center …
After about four hours, Xiao Hua finished refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill. After carefully inspecting it, he found that his cultivation had indeed made some progress. Moreover, the effect was much better than the Marrow Cleansing Pill he obtained from the auction in Jingbo City. It was comparable to more than four months of bitter cultivation.
"En, fortunately, it was useful. It seems that the Marrow Cleansing Pill from before was refined from spirit herbs that were too young.
Yong Shang's three jade bottles contained thirty Marrow Cleansing Pills. According to my previous experience, it should be comparable to ten years of bitter cultivation. I used nearly twelve years of bitter cultivation to advance from the first layer of the Qi Refining realm to the second layer of the Qi Refining realm. I don't know how many years it will take to advance from the second layer of the Qi Refining realm to the third layer of the Qi Refining realm! "Xiao Hua inwardly calculated.
"Hmm, thirty Essence Cleansing Pills … This isn't a small number. Even Shang Huaming couldn't gather that many pills in the past. I wonder how Yong Shang got his hands on them!" Xiao Hua thought about some useless things before popping another Essence Cleansing Pill into his mouth.
The night quickly passed. Perhaps it was because they had been in a hurry the day before, or perhaps it was because they had just experienced a life and death escape, but Li Xiaowen and the others did not immediately get up in the morning. It was only when the sun was high in the sky that they got up and removed the warning talismans. Over the course of the night, Xiao Hua had taken four Marrow Cleansing Pills in one go, which was equivalent to two years of bitter cultivation. The progress of his cultivation was quite obvious.
However, for an ordinary cultivator, two years might be enough to raise their cultivation from the second layer to the third layer, but for Xiao Hua, it was still somewhat insufficient.
Even when Li Xiaowen and the others looked at Xiao Hua, the corners of their brows slightly raised. They were too lazy to even show a trace of astonishment!
"Fellow Daoists, are you ready?"
Li Xiaowen finished tidying up and asked softly, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving. We still have to travel for a day, so I'm afraid we won't have much time to rest!"
Everyone nodded and followed Li Xiaowen as they continued to fly in the direction of Yu Lian Mountains.
Xiao Hua was still the last. After last night's bitter cultivation, his cultivation had improved a lot. Magic power flowed through his entire body like mercury flowing down the ground, very smooth. Under the urging of his magic power, the flying talisman also displayed a greater effect. Xiao Hua's flying speed was also much faster than before.
"Right now, I'm only at the second layer of Qi Refining, but my flying speed is comparable to that of an eleventh layer Qi Refining cultivator. What if I cultivate to the eleventh layer?
Then how fast could the flying speed be?
Wouldn't it be comparable to that of a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Hehe, then even if this young master can't beat them, I can still escape! "Xiao Hua secretly laughed as he flew.
Xiao Hua's thoughts were quite beautiful. If he calculated like this, wouldn't his flying speed be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator when he reached Foundation Establishment?
When he reached the legendary Great Ascension Stage, wouldn't his flying speed … be comparable to that of an Immortal?
For four days in a row, Xiao Hua and the others flew during the day and cultivated at night. Other people didn't say anything, but Xiao Hua's cultivation increased bit by bit. He hadn't even used half of the thirty Marrow Cleansing Pills he obtained from Yong Shang, yet he actually reached the middle stage of the second layer of Qi Refining!
One day, the five of them were flying to the left of a mountain forest when they saw a cultivator in the seventh layer of Qi Refining flying diagonally in front of them. During the past four days, Xiao Hua and the others had been flying through rather remote areas. If they weren't flying through ravines, they were flying through deep mountains and swamps. It was rare for them to encounter other cultivators. Now that they saw this cultivator, they were slightly startled. They secretly slowed down and respectfully waited for the cultivator to pass. The cultivator glanced at them, then ignored them and continued on his way.
After the cultivator left, the five of them flew up again.
Originally, it was normal for them to encounter other cultivators, but … in the next few hours, Xiao Hua and the others met one after another. There were Qi Refining cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, and so on.
Xiao Hua wasn't the only one who found this strange. Li Xiaowen and the others were also puzzled.
In the end, when several cultivators in the fifth layer of Qi Refining like them passed by, Li Xiaowen stepped forward and blocked them. He very politely asked about the reason. The result made Xiao Hua and the others very happy. About two hours to the left of Xiao Hua and the others, there was a small Yi Bazaar tomorrow!
Once those cultivators left, Li Xiaowen and the others stopped flying. "Fellow Daoists, although we prepared a lot of things … we also used up a lot of them in the Southern Color Plain, especially the fire-type yellow talismans. Even though we've already used them up, if we can go to the Yi Bazaar to replenish them, it'll be beneficial at that time.
I want to go take a look. What do you think, Fellow Daoists? "
Everyone was also happy to hear this. They stopped flying forward and looked for a quiet place to cultivate.
On the morning of the second day, they determined the direction and directly flew to the Yi Bazaar.
The Yi Bazaar was quite famous. It was called Fengju because there was a cultivator family with the surname Feng. When Xiao Hua and the others arrived at Fengju, the sun had already risen. Many cultivators who received the news also rushed to the Yi Bazaar. Therefore, although Xiao Hua and the others didn't know the exact location, they still found it by following others.
The Yi Bazaar wasn't located in the small town called Fengju. Instead, it was located in a valley fifty kilometers southeast of the small town.
The valley's entrance had a restriction commonly used in the cultivation world. It was used to distinguish the identity of cultivators. It was similar to the restriction used in the western part of Jingbo City. Xiao Hua and the others were naturally able to enter without any hindrance.
After entering the valley, there were quite a few cultivators strolling around leisurely. There were also quite a few cultivators who placed their items on the ground and sat down cross-legged, waiting for others to come forward to trade. Although the valley looked a bit messy, the noise was much quieter, making it feel very peaceful.
"Seniors, are you here to participate in Fengju's Yi Bazaar?"
A young cultivator with delicate features and a cultivation around the third layer of Qi Condensation stood at the entrance of the valley. When he saw Xiao Hua and the others enter, he very respectfully stepped forward and saluted.
"Yes, may I ask if there are any special rules?" Li Xiaowen asked with a smile.
"Junior is a disciple of the Feng Clan. My name is Discipline Hall.
Senior, thank you for coming to participate in the Yi Bazaar! "
Discipline Hall smiled and said: "My Feng Clan's Yi Bazaar is the same as other bazaars. There are no special rules. Seniors only need to hand over ten low grade spirit stones!"
"Oh, ten low grade spirit stones?" Li Xiaowen nodded: "That's not a lot!"
As he spoke, he took out a mid grade spirit stone from his storage pouch and handed it over: "This is for the five of us. I'll leave the rest for you!"
"Thank you, Senior."
The disciple seemed to be very happy. He thanked him and said: "Do you need Junior to accompany Seniors around?"
"No need, I'll take a look for myself!
Fellow Daoist, go ahead! "
"Yes!" Discipline Hall said. He cupped his hands and left to greet the other cultivators.
"Fellow Daoists, we don't have too much time. This valley's Yi Bazaar isn't very large. Four hours should be enough for us to replenish our yellow talismans!"
Li Xiaowen roughly looked around the valley and said to everyone: "We'll go our own ways. When the time comes, we'll come back here and meet up!"
Everyone nodded and went in different directions. Xiao Hua thought for a moment, turned around, and walked in front of Discipline Hall. He cupped his hands and asked: "Fellow Daoist Feng, I have a matter to ask?"
"Oh, please speak, Fellow Daoist!" Discipline Hall looked at Xiao Hua's cultivation and didn't have any intention of neglecting him.
"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist, in the valley's Yi Bazaar, are there any medicinal pills that can increase one's cultivation?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice.
"This …" Discipline Hall had an awkward expression. He smiled apologetically and said: "Fellow Daoist is giving I a difficult problem. Inside the valley's Yi Bazaar, there are Fellow Daoists from all over the world. They can place their things anywhere they want. I don't know where those medicinal pills are!"
Xiao Hua smiled and took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage pouch. He handed it over and said: "Fellow Daoist Feng is on duty here, so you must have some information. If you can tell me, I'll be very grateful!"
Seeing the mid-grade spirit stone, Discipline Hall's eyes brightened. He took it, looked around, and said: "Medicinal pills that can increase cultivation are rare in the State of Xi. Let alone my Feng Clan's Yi Bazaar, I'm afraid they're not common even in Jingbo City's Yi Bazaar."
Xiao Hua had a smile on his face and didn't say anything. He knew that since Discipline Hall dared to take the spirit stone, there must be some unknown information.
Sure enough, Discipline Hall took out a Summoning Talisman from his storage pouch and handed it over, saying: "Fellow Daoist, please take this Summoning Talisman and send it out in two hours. I still have an errand here. Once I'm done, I'll help you contact them!
However … Fellow Daoist, do you have enough spirit stones or items to exchange? "
Xiao Hua had just received Yong Shang's storage pouch and was rich and overbearing. He rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Feng, don't worry. I definitely won't disappoint you. If I'm satisfied, I'll be extra grateful to Fellow Daoist Feng!"
"Well said, well said!" Discipline Hall smiled and cupped his hands.
Sure enough, Wind Station's Yi Bazaar couldn't compare to Jingbo City's Yi Bazaar. Not to mention that there weren't many items, even the quality of the items was much lower. Moreover, Yi Bazaar's items were generally low and mid-grade spirit stones. High-grade spirit stones were extremely rare. Seeing this situation, Xiao Hua realized that it wasn't because the spirit stones in Yi Bazaar had depreciated, nor was it because Jingbo City's items were too expensive. Instead, it was because Jingbo City's Yi Bazaar was one of the most famous Yi Bazaars in the State of Xi. At that level of Yi Bazaar or Yi Bazaar, mid-grade spirit stones were only the lowest grade spirit stones!
