"Not necessarily!"
Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Foundation Building Pills also appeared in the auction just now. Don't tell me Foundation Building Pills aren't for Aura Refining disciples?"
The city guard replied confidently, "Senior is a Foundation Building cultivator, so you must know the quality of Foundation Building Pills and whether they can be used or not.
But what about body-refining cultivation techniques?
Do you know if they're suitable for your disciples?
I'm afraid you're the only one who knows this kind of cultivation technique, right? "
"Hahaha ~" Xiao Hua laughed. He clapped his hands and took out a few spirit stones, stuffed them into the city guard's hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist is right. I'm really bad!"
The city guard reached out his hand without leaving a trace and caught the spirit stones. Soon after, he whispered a few words to Xiao Hua through telepathy, making him beam with joy.
Right at this moment, a figure rushed out of the auction very quickly. She looked all around with a somewhat anxious expression on her face.
It was the strong but thin female cultivator from just now.
Xiao Hua had already regained his original appearance. Whether it was his face or figure, he had already changed. Only his Daoist robe hadn't been changed.
The female cultivator first saw Xiao Hua's Daoist robe. Her happy expression only flashed for a moment before it was replaced by heavy disappointment.
"City guard, have you seen …" The female cultivator shouted at the city guard and described Xiao Hua's disguised appearance.
"Senior, please know!" The city guard was still respectful. "Junior has never seen a senior with this kind of appearance!"
"Oh ~" The female cultivator nodded and asked Xiao Hua somewhat unwillingly, "Has Fellow Daoist seen him before?
That cultivator wore the same Daoist robe as Fellow Daoist! "
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a smile, "I haven't seen him either. However, is there something Fellow Daoist didn't say inside?
How did you find him outside? "
"Alas ~" The female cultivator sighed and said reluctantly, "I have some matters to attend to!"
Right at this moment, a voice said, "Qiao 'er, Qiao' er, is that guy here?"
"Brother Ming, that cultivator disappeared a long time ago!"
The female cultivator called Qiao 'er turned her head in disappointment. "It's all Qiao' er's fault for acting on my own and provoking a senior from Haoming City. Alas …"
Xiao Hua raised his head to look. A tall and sturdy man who was half a head taller than him slowly walked over. This cultivator was dressed strangely. His arms and legs were exposed, and his skin was covered with black hair. He was like a thick pillar!
"Ah, a middle Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
Xiao Hua's eyes flashed and he looked at the female cultivator. "This female cultivator doesn't seem to be a good person. I don't know what she's planning!"
As a result, Xiao Hua dispelled the idea of continuing to collude with Qiao 'er. He turned around and flew towards the residence of the Aura Refining cultivators.
"Forget it, Qiao 'er. Since we can't find it, then forget it!"
The male cultivator smiled and said, "There are so many Demonic Artefacts. You can just find another one and try to repair it. Why do you only want that one?"
"Sigh, Brother Ming, you don't know," Qiao 'er said as she flew, "That demonic device has an extraordinary origin, and Qiao' er learned about it from the ancient records in her clan!
If it wasn't for the fact that there was something special inside the demonic spear, Qiao 'er wouldn't have been able to imagine it!
How did a weapon that was recorded in ancient times fall into the hands of the Demon Realm?
Furthermore … it has become a demonic artifact! "
"Hehe, so that's how it is!"
That male cultivator suddenly understood and smiled apologetically. "How would I know about these things? Only a skilled craftsman like Qiao 'er in the clan can look up the ancient records in the clan!"
"Sigh, let's go!"
Qiao 'er sighed and said, "Not only did we not get that demonic spear, but we also lost some spirit stones. In this way, there are some things that can't be exchanged!"
"Aiyo, I understand now!" That male cultivator slapped his forehead and said.
"Eh?
Brother Ming, what did you think of? "Qiao 'er asked curiously.
The male cultivator said naively, "Since that guy snatched the demonic spear's tail from you, then he might have seen something. Maybe he also has the same broken spear as you!"
Qiao 'er was speechless. Her thoughts were naturally the same as Xiao Hua's. She also thought of the other party's situation, which was why she was determined to find Xiao Hua.
"Let's go, Brother Ming. Let's go to the shops in Haoming City and see if there's anything that can be exchanged!" Qiao 'er said indifferently.
A moment after Xiao Hua and the others left, Yan Yu flew over and very familiarly walked in front of the city guard. He quietly stuffed a few spirit stones into the guard's hand and whispered a few words. A trace of embarrassment appeared on the city guard's face, but after thinking for a moment, he answered with a smile. Hearing this, Yan Yu's face showed a satisfied expression. Soon after, he handed over a few more spirit stones.
Xiao Hua flew into the area where the Aura Refining cultivators lived. Without waiting for the city guard to come over, just like before, several Aura Refining cultivators came over to strike up a conversation.
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I want to go to Yutian Paradise. Who among you knows?"
Sure enough, a seemingly quick-witted Aura Refining cultivator quickly raised his hand and said, "Senior, this junior knows!"
"En, good, you take I there!"
"Senior, please!"
After saying that, that Aura Refining cultivator led the way and flew up first.
After flying for several breaths, that Aura Refining cultivator asked cautiously, "Senior, what do you always want to go to Yutian Paradise to look for …?"
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Are you very familiar with Yutian Paradise?"
Hearing Xiao Hua's response, a smile appeared on that cultivator's face and he answered, "Yutian Paradise is specially set up by Haoming City for us Aura Refining cultivators. It's for our convenience."
Soon after, he explained in detail, "Senior, you must also know that Haoming City holds auctions of different scales every five years, every ten years, and even every hundred years.
However, we Aura Refining cultivators have a rather urgent need for medicinal pills, yellow talismans, spiritual plants, and so on. We can't compare to Seniors who have a long lifespan, so we can wait.
However, if it's an ordinary shop, it's difficult to distinguish the quality and authenticity of these things. It's even possible that we'll be targeted by bystanders, which could lead to disaster.
Therefore, Haoming City opened this Yutian Paradise in the residences of Aura Refining cultivators. It specializes in purchasing medicinal pills, spiritual plants, and even cultivation methods from Aura Refining cultivators and reselling them to Aura Refining cultivators who need them.
To be honest, this Yutian Paradise is a shop exclusively run by Haoming City!
Junior … Hehe, I don't go there often. The prices of the things there are quite high, and Junior often doesn't have enough spirit stones! "
"En ~" Xiao Hua originally wanted to ask more about the details of Yutian Paradise, but after hearing that this cultivator didn't go there often, he knew that even if he asked, it would only be hearsay. He might as well go there himself, so he didn't ask anymore.
On the contrary, Xiao Hua no longer asked about the cultivator. He was a little anxious and racked his brains to talk about some interesting things he heard.
However, Xiao Hua didn't find these useful. After all, Xiao Hua was passing by Haoming City, and what that cultivator said wasn't what he wanted to know at all!
"By the way, do you know the Rock Border Sect of the Lian State?" Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are there any disciples of their sect in Haoming City?"
"Well …" The cultivator looked awkward and smiled apologetically. "Senior, I seem to have heard of this cultivation sect, but … I've never heard of any of their disciples traveling in Haoming City!"
"En ~" Xiao Hua didn't comment.
"Senior, this is Yutian Paradise!"
The Aura Refining cultivator stopped in midair, pointed at a rather large Immortal's Cave in front of them, and smiled apologetically. "Junior … won't accompany Senior inside. Please forgive me!"
Seeing that the Immortal's Cave was guarded by Haoming City's city guards and that there were many cultivators going in and out, including both Aura Refining and Foundation Building cultivators, Xiao Hua nodded and said, "En, thank you for your trouble!"
After saying that, he flew towards the Immortal's Cave, ignoring the cultivator.
"Senior …" That cultivator was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Hahaha ~" Xiao Hua laughed and waved his hand, causing several spirit stones to fly towards the cultivator.
"Thank you, Senior!" The regret in the cultivator's eyes turned into surprise. He quickly took the spirit stones and bowed to express his gratitude.
When Xiao Hua landed in front of Yutian Paradise, he saw the city guard quickly salute him. Several Aura Refining cultivators going in and out also stopped and respectfully invited Xiao Hua to enter.
Xiao Hua was different from the other Foundation Building cultivators who held their heads high. He nodded slightly at those cultivators and city guards before quickly walking in.
"Oh, it's so big. You're really considerate!"
Xiao Hua entered the Immortal's Cave and saw that the huge Immortal's Cave was divided into several floors. There were many steps on the stone walls leading to different heights, and there were similar shops lined up at each height.
Apart from the shops, there were no shop assistants to welcome customers. Everything was the same as the shops Xiao Hua had seen before.
"Senior, what are you looking for?"
A cultivator wearing a brand-new robe stepped forward and asked respectfully. "Junior is Haoming City's city guard. I'm here to guide Senior and fellow Daoists in this Immortal's Cave!"
"Oh, I want to see Aura Refining cultivation methods. Where are they?"
Xiao Hua knew that the things here had all been appraised by Haoming City's consecrators, so the possibility of him encountering rare things wasn't high. Therefore, he went straight to the point and asked.
The city guard didn't find it strange and said with a smile, "Senior, please go to the fourth floor. There are cultivation methods required by Aura Refining cultivators there. I hope Senior will be satisfied!
Do you need Junior to take you there? "
"Oh?
Is there really even cultivation methods for Aura Refining? "
Xiao Hua was slightly surprised. He naturally thought of his predicament back then when he didn't have any cultivation methods. Then, he shook his head and said, "No need, I will go there myself."
"Senior, please!" The city guard smiled and pointed in the direction to the fourth floor!
Xiao Hua was full of curiosity when he went up to the fourth floor. He randomly found a shop and went in.
"Senior, what kind of cultivation methods do you need?" The person who greeted him was still the same city guard in the same robe.
Xiao Hua didn't say anything. Instead, he looked up and sized up this shop. He saw that this shop was an oval-shaped space that was more than a hundred feet in size. It was divided into dozens of partitions, and each partition had a city guard standing straight as if they were responsible for their own duties.
Xiao Hua was standing inside the shop, facing a crescent-shaped table with several balls of different colors on it. The city guard who greeted him was standing in front of these balls.
"What kind of cultivation methods do you have here?" Xiao Hua asked in return. He was indeed very curious about the cultivation methods he could buy here.
"Senior, please know. The cultivation methods in my Yutian Paradise are roughly divided into five categories: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Senior, please tell Junior what attribute Senior's nephew is, so that Junior can recommend different cultivation methods for Senior!" The city guard was still very respectful.
"Yes, my nephew is of the earth attribute!" Xiao Hua replied.
