Chapter 53 Tier 2 Spirit Crystals, Spring Lake Market
An endless expanse of sand.
Amidst a sandstorm that swept across more than ten miles, a streak of blue light streaked across the sky, flying straight to the top of a forest of stone pillars, where a row of pillars emerged from the blue light.
"Sir, this is the place."
Mo Feng behind him spoke respectfully.
At this moment, Lin Li released his divine sense, which enveloped the large area of stone forest below. Within a range of more than three miles, he did not sense any treasures or anything that were full of spiritual energy.
"go."
"lead the way."
After Lin Li finished speaking, Mo Feng beside him responded and transformed into a gust of demonic wind, heading towards the stone pillar forest below.
The same was true for Er Gou on the other side.
After more than ten breaths.
Mo Feng and Er Gou arrived at a secluded corner of a forest of stone pillars. Mo Feng used his sharp claws to lift up the boulder piled at the base of the stone pillar and saw a piece of amethyst the size of a millstone attached to the surface of the pillar.
Inside the crystal-clear interior, one can see a beast egg about the size of a baby's fist.
It looks like an insect.
"Can this crystal block divine sense from probing?"
Even at such close range, Lin Li's divine sense was unable to detect the beast egg inside the crystal.
"This is good stuff!"
Lin Li immediately understood the value of the crystal. If he could create a crystal armor to cover himself, wouldn't he be able to block the senses of cultivators of the same level?
It's an absolute top-tier weapon for ambushing cultivators of the same level from the shadows.
It can also be used to evade pursuers, and has many other uses.
"Mo Feng, you and Er Gou step aside, let me test the strength of this crystal."
Lin Li looked at the crystal. It could shield against the detection of second-tier divine sense. If its strength could also reach the standard of a second-tier magic weapon, that would be even better.
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, Mo Feng and Er Gou were startled. They quickly conjured a gust of demonic wind and fled hundreds of steps away, cautiously setting up their demonic energy shields.
Swish!
Lin Li took out his second-tier low-grade bamboo spirit flying sword. After a blue fish circled around him a few times, it transformed into a sharp blue sword aura and pierced towards the amethyst beneath the stone pillar in front of him.
Bang!
The sword energy raged, stirring up a frenzied whirlwind that swept around.
Lin Li's loose white robes billowed in the wind, creating an astonishing aura.
Mo Feng and Er Gou, who were hundreds of steps away, were pushed back another hundred steps by the residual force of the sword energy before they finally stopped. The two demons looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The power of this Foundation Establishment sword energy is outrageous; one strike could easily take down ten of them.
"I used seven or eight tenths of my strength, and only a small sword mark was left."
"What a wonderful baby!"
"This Er Gou truly lives up to his lineage as a Treasure-Gathering Spirit Dog; he managed to encounter such a treasure. He has great potential!"
Lin Li looked at the almost intact amethyst on the stone pillar in front of him.
However, the stone pillar to which the amethyst was attached had become cracked and was about to collapse after that blow.
"This material is at least of mid-tier second-order quality."
Lin Li raised his hand and put the unknown amethyst into his pocket. As for the unknown beast egg inside the crystal, he would have to wait for another opportunity to open it.
The market celebration will take place three days later.
Then they went to ask the two Fellow Daoists Qin and his companion if there were any reliable second-tier weapon refiners around.
Alchemy, puppetry, weapon crafting, talisman drawing... you have to learn all of these.
If he were a second-tier weapon refiner, he could refine such a sturdy second-tier magic weapon that could shield divine sense himself.
However, each of these plans for cultivating immortality and various arts requires investing hundreds of years of lifespan in cultivation, so it must be done gradually.
then.
Lin Li did not linger there any longer. Instead, he used a second-tier escape technique to quickly leave the place with Mo Feng and Er Gou.
Upon returning to the sacred land of Sanyangquan, Lin Li instructed Er Gou and Mo Feng to rest before continuing their search for treasures on the sandy sea west of Sanyangquan. He also gave them two protective talismans.
Lin Li had imbued the talisman with a Foundation Establishment divine sense, which would protect the lives of any other Foundation Establishment cultivators it encountered.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At 9:00 AM, the sky was bright.
Clear skies.
A streak of azure light shot out from the Sanyangquan spiritual land and headed straight for Baiquanhu Market, the center of the gathering place.
Lin Ligang approached the market.
Qin Shanmian came out to greet him.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, we've finally been waiting for you, the main character."
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please!"
"Fellow Daoist Gu is currently entertaining a fellow Daoist, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a Foundation Establishment sect near our market. This fellow Daoist is named Guan Che, and his nickname is Wind Demon."
"His second-tier demonic escape technique is extremely fast, even faster than a sword cultivator's escape light."
"When you can't beat someone of the same level in a duel, you can always run away, and they can't catch you."
"Fellow Daoist Guan has heard that there is another Foundation Establishment cultivator in the market, so he specially prepared gifts to come here."
Qin Shanmian enthusiastically led Lin Lifei into the market and explained why Gu Jinghe hadn't come out.
at this time.
As Lin Li stood above the market, he began to take in the market of Baiquan Lake. The streets were bustling with people, and basically two or three out of every ten people were Qi Refining cultivators, although most of them were at the early stage of Qi Refining.
However, the ratio of cultivators to mortals is extremely high.
This market town is thriving, with over a hundred families from the surrounding area practicing alchemy as its source, and business within the market is booming.
When the divine sense swept across, one could also see some strange ironwood demon puppets on the street, and at the same time, one could also see a few spiritual cultivators who had transformed into half-human forms from time to time in the market.
This market does not exclude spiritual cultivators from entering, but they need to be detected by a malevolent spirit talisman. If a person is a malevolent demon with a strong aura of malevolence, the market will not allow them to enter.
After more than ten breaths.
Lin Li then saw the White Pine Mountain in the center of the market. The mountain was shaded by green trees, with flocks of cranes flying around, and was full of spiritual energy.
Furthermore, it is protected by a second-order formation inside, making it the only place in the Hundred Springs Lake area where a second-order spiritual vein is located.
This mountain can accommodate several Foundation Establishment cultivators for their practice.
Led by Qin Shanmian, the two streaks of light flew directly into the main hall at the summit.
Before even entering the hall, Lin Li sensed two Foundation Establishment auras within. One was Gu Jinghe, and the other was a green-robed old man exuding a faint demonic aura.
The green-robed old man, Guan Che, was slightly hunched over, with a large, bulbous nose and a pair of pale red eyes on his wrinkled face. He was currently sizing up Lin Li, who had emerged from the white light.
The fox-headed human-bodied creature, adorned in a gleaming white robe, exuded an extraordinary aura.
Meanwhile, three large white fox tails swayed gently behind him, adding a touch of eeriness to his appearance.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Liu. He is indeed extraordinary after meeting you today."
"This old man is Guan Che, greetings to fellow Daoist!"
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Liu, on joining Baiquanhu Market."
"If Fellow Daoist Liu ever needs anything from me in the future, just go to the Wind Shadow Sect. I will do my best to help."
Guan Che said in a rather enthusiastic tone.
