I can gather experience beads

Before entering Luoyue Town, Cao Rui made a series of preparations to ensure his own safety and hide his true identity.

Cao Rui first took out an ordinary black gown from his storage bag and changed out of the blue inner disciple uniform with the Spirit Beast Sect's emblem.

In this way, he could avoid being discovered by others that he was a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect.

The disciples of the sect are always very conspicuous in the market of independent cultivators.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Rui took out a mask and put it on, completely covering his face.

Although monks usually identify each other by remembering the fluctuations of each other's magic power, it is always better to be more cautious.

After making these preparations, Cao Rui stepped into Luoyue Town with confidence.

Relying on his cultivation in the late Qi Refining Period, the profound magic power brought by the ancient Mingyu Gong, and a number of perfect level 0 spells, Cao Rui is quite confident in his own strength.

However, the world of cultivation is dangerous, so it is necessary to remain vigilant.

Only by protecting yourself can you thrive in the world of cultivation.

The scale of Luoyue Town is almost the same as that of the original Heishui Town.

But one is located in Xiao State and the other is located in Yue State. There are obvious differences between the residents of the two places in terms of dress, speaking accent, etc.

Following the information in the records, Cao Rui finally arrived at the seventh lane of Luoyue Street.

The Seventh Lane is very long, but at the end there is only a gray-brown earth wall, making it look like a dead end.

Although the end was blocked by a high wall, Cao Rui stepped forward without hesitation, releasing his spiritual sense to explore.

Just as he was approaching the ten-meter range, his spiritual sense detected a gray spiritual mist suddenly emerging in front of him, and there was a flashing gray light at the entrance, obviously there was a formation set up here.

The apparent dead end is just to prevent mortals from getting close.

Cao Rui used his spiritual sense to confirm the location of the entrance, and then carefully moved towards it. A weak push came from the wall, as if blocking him from moving forward.

However, Cao Rui did not retreat. Instead, he slightly condensed his magic power and pushed forward suddenly, thus successfully stepping into the magic circle.

If there were any mortals in the alley at this moment, in his eyes, Cao Rui would appear to have merged into the wall of the alley and disappeared.

But if a mortal tried to do the same thing as Cao Rui, the thrust from the magic circle would make him feel like he was hitting a wall.

Only those with magical powers can enter.

As he stepped into the magic circle, Cao Rui's eyes lit up.

The scene you see is no different from the outside world, but it is also somewhat different.

This is also an alley, but it is much longer than the one outside.

Moreover, the alleys were no longer lined with dilapidated houses, but with cultivators one after another.

They set up a stall every four or five meters and sat cross-legged in front of the stall.

Outside the high walls of the alley was a gray area, which should be a magic circle that separated the mundane world.

Cao Rui took a quick glance and saw a variety of items on display at the stalls.

Some are a flying sword, some are a book, and some are a spiritual herb... However, these things are basically low-end cultivation supplies used in the early stages of Qi Refining.

At the end of the alley is a square. You can see the two mountains of Luoyue Town in the distance facing this square.

I think this square is the best place to enjoy the moon when the moon sets and rises.

There should be shops in that square.

This alley and the square together constitute the entire territory of the Xiuxian Market.

After all, it was a magic array formed by independent cultivators, and it couldn't cover such a large area.

The Spirit Beast Sect's manual briefly mentioned this Xiuxian Market, and it was written that there was no need to pay any fees to set up a stall in this alley.

The shops in the square need to pay a certain rent.

Because of this, the goods sold in the shops on the square are usually of higher quality and more specific characteristics.

For example, a magic weapon shop will only sell magic weapons, a pill shop will only sell pills, and a spiritual medicine shop will only sell spiritual medicines.

The transaction of Cao Rui's Lingyuan Dan could only be conducted in the shop in the square.

When Cao Rui stepped into the alley, the cultivators and stall owners in the alley immediately turned their eyes to him and began to look him up and down.

If Cao Rui was a newcomer to the immortal way, he would definitely receive a "warm" greeting.

However, at this moment, Cao Rui did not deliberately hide the fluctuations of his magic power in the late stage of Qi training.

The many wandering cultivators in the alley just glanced at Cao Rui and quickly looked away.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, people don’t care about seniority or age; the only thing that matters is cultivation.

Judging from Cao Rui's current level of cultivation, he is undoubtedly one of the absolute strongest among these casual cultivators.

Faced with such a strong man, they would never dare to harass Cao Rui unless they were seeking death.

Cao Rui walked through the alley, each step seemed steady and powerful.

The cultivation levels of these stall owners are ridiculously low, and only a few in the middle stage of Qi Refining are worth considering.

Cao Rui's spiritual consciousness was like an invisible tentacle, quickly scanning the stalls on both sides.

This allowed him to see clearly the items on the stalls in an instant. No matter whether they were precious treasures or ordinary sundries, nothing could escape his perception.

When Cao Rui thought about the fact that many cultivators in the late Qi Refining Stage had done the same thing as himself, he could guess that the probability of picking up treasure at the stall was infinitely equal to zero.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Cao Rui stopped in front of a stall.

Cao Rui's attention was attracted by an object and he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

Looking at the other items on the stall here, I think this stall owner is interesting. Those elixirs are probably homemade to fool people.

When the spiritual sense scanned it, it was discovered that the spiritual medicine was made from ordinary herbs contaminated with spiritual powder.

But the whimsical idea is nice.

The owner of the stall was a small casual cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. When he saw Cao Rui stop in front of his stall, his heart tightened and he jumped.

He prayed secretly, hoping that Cao Rui was just taking a look and wouldn't notice the problems with his stall.

After all, if it was a casual cultivator with a cultivation level similar to his, he could still barely deal with him, but facing a strong man in the late Qi Refining Stage, he would not dare to provoke him easily even if he had ten times the courage.

The stall owner pretended to be calm and said cautiously: "Ahem, senior, do you like anything? Please feel free to choose."

He tried his best to make his voice sound calm and natural, and silently prayed in his heart that Cao Rui would not notice his inner uneasiness.

Upon hearing this, Cao Rui did not hesitate to wave his hand, activated the object control technique, and took the only half of the ancient book on the stall into his hands.

The stall owner heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Cao Rui didn't take any 'magic medicine.'

"The recipe for the second-level elixir, but only one-third of it."

"And it's just a small part in the middle. Even the name of the elixir doesn't appear in this small part."

Cao Rui was at least an entry-level alchemist, and he could still tell whether an elixir recipe was genuine or fake.

But to be honest, this kind of ancient recipe is not valuable.

Because in the existing world of immortal cultivation, what is lacking is not the elixir formula, but the elixirs needed to refine them.

Due to the widespread decline of spiritual energy, some spiritual medicines in the world of immortal cultivation began to become extinct.

Some miraculous medicines recorded in ancient books and recipes may no longer be found.

Many of the elixir recipes used in the current cultivation world are improved upon by finding substitutes.

Cao Rui thought for a moment and said, "This item is quite collectible. Where did you get it from? How much is it for?"

The stall owner smiled awkwardly and said, "I picked this up from an ancient tomb. If you want it, senior... this amount?"

The stall owner held up five fingers.

Cao Rui frowned slightly: "I'll bid one spirit stone."

The stall owner coughed dryly and made a cautious offer: "Ahem, senior, it's not easy to make some money. Considering that it's not easy for me to dig graves, how about two spirit stones?"

Cao Rui did not say anything. He took out two spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them out, while putting the remaining pieces into his storage bag.

Then, Cao Rui walked towards the square.

"Goodbye, senior!" The stall owner bid farewell to Cao Rui loudly and excitedly put the two spirit stones into his arms.
