Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.
Chapter 46 Settling in the Market
Chapter 46 Settling in the Market
"What? Brother...you...you haven't given up yet?" Chen Zhaohu was quite surprised by Li Jian'an's farewell.
During this year, whether it was the situation in the gathering area or the part-time independent cultivators in the team, it was enough for him to face the reality.
He actually wants to cultivate immortality!
Li Ji'an sighed, "You can't achieve immortality by refining your body."
"Immortality...you still want immortality?" Hearing Chen Zhaohu's voice, the teammates who were packing up their equipment and preparing to set off gathered around him.
Chen Qingling burst out laughing.
He had had this kind of fearless idea before, but after he really started practicing, he no longer dared to have such delusion. If he could become a master of the late stage of Qi training in this life, he would be worthy of his brother's efforts.
"Old Li, you don't know yourself very well. Not to mention other things, there are countless people who have set foot in the Fallen Dragon Ridge wasteland to practice cultivation, but those who can break through the middle stage of Qi training are already outstanding among the crowd. Anyone who has reached the late stage of Qi training is the solid combat force and backbone of each family, but their lifespan is only 150 years, immortality...tsk tsk." A casual cultivator at the third level of Qi training was also a little amused.
"To tell you the truth, I regret it now. If I had known how difficult it would be to cultivate, I would never have given up my father's shop to become a cultivator of this ditch!"
"Work hard on your body training, and you can become a prominent figure in this gathering area and live a leisurely and comfortable life."
……
Everyone started to persuade him.
Some of them were persuading him based on their own personal experiences, while others were reluctant to let the mascot mentioned by Chen Zhaohu leave. Li Ji'an could tell the difference.
Li Ji'an said that everyone was right.
But he was still determined to leave.
He insisted on leaving, so Chen Zhaohu naturally couldn't keep him.
"Okay, okay, since you still refuse to give up, then go ahead. But remember, the door of my place, Chen Zhaohu, is always open to you. You are always welcome to come back."
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Li Ji'an bowed.
"Qing Ling, go with your brother Li. When we get to the market, please take good care of him for me."
"Brother Li, you are steady and thoughtful. Please help me keep an eye on this brat and make sure he doesn't do bad things in the Immortal House." Chen Zhaohu gave instructions to Chen Qingling and Li Ji'an respectively.
Chen Qingling frowned, somewhat reluctant, but did not dare to disobey his brother's words, and nodded helplessly.
Li Ji'an agreed with a smile. He needed a guide to go to the market town. Compared with a stranger, he felt more at ease with his brother Chen Zhaohu, with whom he had been together for a year.
"Old Li, if you want to buy pills in the future, you can come to me. I have a way to get them. They're much cheaper than in the store..."
"Brother Li, once you enter the market, what you need to worry about most is not cultivation, but earning spirit stones. Everything there requires spirit stones, so you should consider this as soon as possible."
……
At this point, other people also began to offer suggestions.
Not long after, Chen Zhaohu personally sent Li Ji'an and Chen Qingling to the post station.
"Old Zhou, please."
Chen Zhaohu paid the spirit horse driver twenty taels of spirit sand, then walked up to Li Ji'an and secretly stuffed a small bag into his hand: "Brother, the market is full of spirit stones, life is not easy, I don't have much, so take these."
The touch of it made Li Ji'an feel a little happy. There should be ten spirit stones.
"Thank you!" Li Ji'an looked at him seriously and remembered this friendship in his heart.
In five lifetimes, if a person can maintain good relationships with others unless there is a conflict of interest or he doesn't want to make friends, otherwise there must be problems with his character and emotional intelligence.
Making good friends is not just talk.
Lao Zhou's spirit horse was purchased from the beast taming family Liu in the north. It is a first-level primary horse with low-grade wild blood. It is mainly used for long-distance travel and can travel a thousand miles a day.
In order to do this business, Lao Zhou even borrowed spirit stones from Chen Zhaohu.
In less than an hour, Li Ji'an was already standing at the gate of Lianhefang Market.
The United Market was a relatively recent development, having been developed simultaneously by two pioneering families eighty years ago. Subsequently, to secure this first-grade, lower-grade spiritual vein, the two shallowly rooted Qi Refining Stage families engaged in a fierce battle.
During this period, various means emerged.
However, in the end, the fisherman benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.
In order to compete for this spiritual land, the two Qi-training families each tried their best to win over other families who had successfully opened up the wasteland earlier.
As a result, the two Qi-training families were defeated, and these families stood up.
Afterwards, the two Qi-training families disappeared into the dust of history, and the United Market came into being, with eight families jointly managing and operating it.
Passing by the gate of the market town, Li Ji'an paid the entrance fee of five taels of spiritual sand, and Chen Qingling took out the jade token of his residence in the market town.
"Hey, let's make a deal first. Don't meddle in my affairs. Just answer my brother's questions. In exchange, you can ask me if you don't understand anything. Of course, you have to exchange it with fried chicken wings!" Chen Qingling said first as they entered the city gate.
Li Ji'an nodded, which was exactly what he wanted.
The scale of the market town is slightly smaller than that of the gathering area, simply because its spiritual vein is only at the primary level of the first order and cannot cover a large area.
Even at this scale, it's already a bit excessive. The spiritual energy in the outermost areas is almost as thin as that outside.
But it is enough for beginners of Qigong practice.
"South Street is the commercial area, and most of the businesses here belong to the eight major families. There are also scattered shops of foreign powers. They have elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays, but you don't need them for the time being, so there's no need to go there.
Beida Street is a street stall area where mostly independent traders sell goods. The quality is definitely not as good as those in well-known shops, but the price is cheaper.
Don't go to the West District unless you have nothing to do. There are mostly residences of nobles, residences of major families, and the dojos of independent practitioners. The spiritual energy there is also the most abundant.
We’ll stay in the East District…” Walking on the main street of Fangshi, Li Ji’an sensed the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein while listening to Chen Qingling’s introduction.
I have to say that there is a big difference between the spiritual vein land and the spiritual poor land outside. Although the spiritual energy here is not so rich, it is very pure.
"Remember, you are not allowed to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation in the market unless you are in a Taoist temple you rent. If you are caught, you will be fined spirit stones." Chen Qingling, who was introducing the situation in the market, suddenly found that Li Ji'an was sensing spiritual energy and hurriedly reminded him.
As soon as he said this, he realized that he had not yet started practicing cultivation and had no qigong techniques to practice, so it was unnecessary for him to absorb the spiritual energy of a ghost.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Xiao Lingzi." At this moment, the three young men opposite saw Chen Qingling and walked over from a distance.
Chen Qingling's face froze, and he lost his usual sense of superiority towards Li Ji'an. He subconsciously took a step behind Li Ji'an and shrank his head, "Brother Quan."
The man opposite then looked at Li Ji'an, and the playful expression on his face subsided a little: "Oh, your brother came to see you?"
Chen Qingling nodded stiffly.
"Then we won't bother you anymore. See you later." The three of them turned around and left.
Li Ji'an looked at the scene calmly, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Hmph, it's all your fault. If I hadn't brought you here, how would we have met them!" After watching the three people walk away, Chen Qingling didn't even look at Li Ji'an, but he felt that Li Ji'an must be looking at him, so he immediately took the initiative and tried to stop Li Ji'an from asking questions.
In fact, Li Ji'an didn't even look at him, nor did he want to ask what he was thinking.
"I warn you, you must not tell my brother about this." Chen Qingling still felt uneasy and reminded him deliberately.
But this time Li Jian did not agree.
He can ignore it, and it is not his job to care, but it is necessary to inform Chen Zhaohu about this matter.
It is normal that Chen Qingling, a fourteen-year-old child, is ignorant and cannot handle such things properly, but with Chen Zhaohu's personality and physical training strength, he can definitely handle it well.
"Did you hear me? You can't tell my brother, otherwise... otherwise my brother will suffer. Do you know who that person is? He's from the Yan family!"
