Ball Ball Cultivation

A two-foot-wide bluestone path ran down the middle, flanked by street vendors and backed by shops. The market was bustling with people, occasionally asking for prices. If it weren't for the small signs on the stalls, like "Dan" and "Fu," it would have been no different from any other night market.

Mo Yan suddenly said: "Look at the stalls, go to the shops in the center, sell all your elixirs, and then buy what you need."

Qiuqiu thought the same thing. It would broaden her horizons, a poor kid who had only studied Taoism since childhood, relying on pictures and notebooks. As novels often say, street vendors are a prime spot for finding bargains. It's a challenge to one's taste. Hers is average, but she has Huahua. The thought of this made her heart flutter, eager to try. She quickly called Huahua, asking her to activate scanning mode. Huahua, having just woken up thanks to Qiuqiu's advancement, longed for another nap.

At this moment, Mo Yan, who was standing nearby, sensed a wave of movement and glanced at the ball without seeming to care. Before him was the magical treasure area, mostly mortal and low-grade artifacts. The occasional spiritual artifact was a fragment or scrap. He hadn't gained much along the way, not even as much as the dagger he had with him when he woke up.

Then she arrived at the elixir section, where she saw a large crowd of people, not only selling elixirs but also spiritual herbs and spirit wines. Whenever she encountered someone she knew, she would compare her memory with reality. As she listened to the stall owners introduce the items to customers, she tried to memorize their appearance, their effects, and, more importantly, their value. This was her path to long-term prosperity. Fortunately, she recognized most of them, though the names were slightly different. The medicinal uses were essentially the same as in her family records.

At this moment, Huahua's voice came in my mind: "There is a dead grass at the stall on the right. Buy it!"

Qiuqiu slowly walked to the stall, which happened to be selling spiritual seeds and plants.

"Can I exchange my spiritual plants for some spiritual seeds for you?"

The other party was an elderly grandfather wearing a gray robe with a whitish hue. Although his cultivation level could not be seen, it was estimated that he was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining and had not reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"This is a purple ginseng that is over 500 years old, a second-level spiritual medicine." Qiuqiu took out a spiritual medicine that the old man could use.

"Okay, you choose," the stall owner naturally agreed.

Qiuqiu chose ordinary spiritual rice seeds and purple rice seeds. He picked one that looked like a peach core, including the dead grass. He also picked two unfamiliar fruit cores and a few ordinary plants that he didn't have any spiritual fruit seedlings.

"OK?"

The old man looked up at Mo Yan behind him, and guessed that Mo Yan was revealing a hint of pressure to him.

"You can add some spiritual rice seeds. These are the spiritual vegetable seeds that we often eat at home. Do you think they are necessary?" He looked at Mo Yan.

"Yes," Mo Yan nodded.

Qiuqiu immediately handed over the elixir, and the old man took out a jade box, carefully placed the elixir in it, and put it away with an isolation talisman. Qiuqiu put all the things he bought into the space.

I continued to move forward, but didn't gain anything. When I arrived at the talisman area, I saw a wide variety of talismans, such as fireball talismans, ice needle talismans, and other attack talismans, as well as rain talismans, earth-turning talismans, and other auxiliary talismans. I also saw a bad luck talisman, which was marked as only effective for mortals. This one was not as advanced as the bad luck talisman drawn by my ancestors.

There were also vendors selling cinnabar, animal blood, and talisman pens. Suddenly, Qiuqiu saw a stall selling herbs. He took a closer look. The stall owner was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen, only at the third level of Qi training. "Little fairy, do you want to buy some purple daylilies? I just dug a whole patch of them from the deep mountains. You can take them home and grow them. These purple daylilies are great for making talisman paper. You can make your own talisman paper after buying them. Just give me twenty spirit stones, not eighteen, and all these living purple daylilies will be yours."

Before Qiuqiu could come to his senses, Huahua's voice came from his mind: "Buy it."

An older woman at the stall next to him said, "Eighteen spirit stones can buy two stacks of talisman paper. Even if all the purple daylilies you have are made into talisman paper, it won't be more than half a stack."

"Then I'll give you fifteen spirit stones. No less. I'm alive and can be planted!"

Qiuqiu turned to look at Mo Yan, meaning, pay for me and I will pay you back later.

Mo Yan took out a spirit stone to pay, muttering to himself, "I'm hired!" He sent a voice message to Qiuqiu: "Look at their expressions. They're teaming up to sell things. One is selling, the other is finding fault, creating the illusion of selling at a loss. And you're still buying?"

Qiuqiu nodded again. Mo Yan took out fifteen spirit stones to pay the bill. Qiuqiu collected all the purple daylilies and the soil into the space, not even leaving out the weeds.

Continue walking forward and you will see a three-story building with "Duobao Pavilion" written on it. There is also a hidden symbol of a leaf in the lower right corner of the plaque.

Entering the gate, a young man at the third level of Qi Refining came to greet him warmly: "What can I do for you, sir?"

Mo proverb: "Find a private room, there is something for sale."

"Sir, follow me. I'll go call the steward."

Then he led us into a private room. The room was very small, with only a long table and square armchairs. There was nothing else, it was completely empty.

Just as Mo Yan sat down on the chair on the east side, a middle-aged steward with a fair face and no beard came in and said, "Greetings, sir," and bowed and sat down.

Qiuqiu first took out several high-grade spiritual herbs. The steward took out a jade box and placed them one by one on the table. Qiuqiu then took out the piles of lower-grade spiritual herbs from the space. Seeing the large quantity, the steward quickly took out a wooden tray. Qiuqiu kept putting them in, but it was not full. He knew it was a space artifact. Finally, Qiuqiu took out all the lower-quality gold ore he had mined and placed it in another tray, which made the steward's eyes light up. Finally, he took out the monster furs, blood, and poison sacs he had hunted in the past six months, which were used as materials for monster refining.

The middle-aged manager quoted prices one by one, totaling over 1 spirit stones. (Here, spirit stones generally refer to lower-grade spirit stones, with a conversion ratio of 100 upper-grade spirit stone = 100 medium-grade spirit stones = 00 lower-grade spirit stones, and 1 top-grade spirit stone = 100 upper-grade spirit stones. Top-grade spirit stones can be reused, automatically absorbing spiritual energy and forming spiritual veins, rarely circulating.) In the end, Qiuqiu exchanged for three upper-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, and the rest were all lower-grade spirit stones. Finally, he said goodbye to poverty and entered a well-off life! If the other Qi Refining disciples heard this, they would definitely curse. This net worth is even richer than that of the Foundation Establishment stage!

"I want to buy some empty jade bottles, jade boxes, defensive robes, an alchemy furnace, talisman pens, talisman paper, cinnabar, etc. Can you introduce them to me? Also, give me a low-grade storage bag."

The manager led Qiuqiu to the second floor, where they saw a dozen alchemy furnaces of different sizes placed on a shelf against the wall. Seeing Qiuqiu was interested, the manager pointed to the ones below and said, "These are all low-grade magic tools, which can be used to refine second-grade and lower elixirs. The ones above are mid-grade magic tools, which can be used to refine third-grade and lower elixirs. The top-grade magic tool can be used to refine fourth-grade elixirs. These two are low-grade treasure tools, which can be used to refine fifth-grade elixirs." As he spoke, he looked at Mo Yan. He was in the late stage of foundation building, but he could not see through Mo Yan.

Qiuqiu casually looked at the price of a small dark golden low-grade magic weapon, which turned out to be more than 1,200 spirit stones, and suddenly felt the pain in his heart.

He glanced around and saw two alchemy furnaces on a shelf in the corner. He pointed at them and asked, "Are they for sale there?"

"I'm selling them. Those are all broken pieces. Look at that dark green one. It was originally a spiritual weapon, but the formation on it is damaged, and there are cracks on the bottom. I just bought it a while ago. If it was just the formation that was broken, I would send it back to headquarters to repair it. There is a chance that it can be restored to a mid-grade treasure. But the tripod body also has cracks. Without the same material, it is almost impossible to repair it."

"How many spirit stones?" Qiuqiu asked immediately.

"At most, you can refine first or second level pills. I'll give you 800 spirit stones."

Qiuqiu searched inside for a long time and asked Huahua to scan to see if there was anything missing. Although many spiritual objects and formations in the world of cultivation have isolation effects, it is better than nothing.

In addition to the alchemy furnace, Qiuqiu also selected from the pile of miscellaneous items a gaudy wooden handle, a bald talisman brush, a rusty array carving knife devoid of any spiritual energy, and an ordinary, palm-sized jewelry box. She then went to the robes section and selected a simple, light blue robe made of alfalfa silk that could withstand a full-strength attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She also added a matching headband to the robe. This low-grade magical instrument, capable of suppressing breath and creating an illusion, was ineffective against the consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

(Magical weapons are divided into magical weapons, treasure weapons, spiritual weapons, immortal weapons, divine weapons, and innate treasures... Each one is divided into four stages: top-grade, upper-grade, middle-grade, and lower-grade.

Pills are divided into nine grades from one to nine, and each grade of pills is divided into top-grade, upper, middle, lower, waste pills, and various medicinal liquids.

Talismans are divided into nine grades, and the talisman corresponds to the painting of the corresponding spiritual power. Lingbao is a higher grade of talisman.

The formations are divided into grades one to nine, and there are portable recorded formation plates, as well as mountain protection formations arranged according to the terrain.

The cultivation level in the world of cultivation is divided into nine stages: Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, (spiritual world) emptiness training, fusion, Mahayana, and tribulation crossing.
