Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

The younger the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is, the more likely it is that there is a powerful sect behind him.

Those who establish their foundation after the age of sixty are most likely to be casual cultivators.

Of course, this is not absolute. There are also people in the sect who are born with poor aptitude, and some who take more than sixty years to build their foundation.

Ma Han's family is good at making talismans, so he usually makes a living by making talismans and selling them at a stall. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford to rent this small courtyard.

Another cultivator with a cultivation level similar to Chen Yunhao's is called Wang Qian. According to him, he is a pure casual cultivator.

It was just by chance that he obtained the inheritance of a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, and thus embarked on the path of cultivation.

Chen Yunhao didn't quite believe this, but every cultivator has his own little secrets, and no one would delve into them.

Including Chen Yunhao's own story, which was also made up, saying that he came from a small family and was good at refining weapons.

Wang Qian seemed even more mysterious to Chen Yunhao. He was neither seen setting up a stall to sell goods in the West City Market, nor was he rarely seen purchasing resources.

Every now and then you could see him drinking tea alone at Lai Fu Teahouse to kill time.

Where do these cultivation resources come from? Unless one is wealthy, the excuse of being a casual cultivator is not credible.

The three of them had different purposes for going to the teahouse, the only thing they had in common was that they were alone every time.

We met more often, nodded to each other, and finally invited each other to sit together and chat.

The three of them had similar cultivation levels and ages, and they all lived near the West City Market, so they had a natural affinity for each other.

Now, the three of them would meet at Lai Fu Teahouse every half a month or so.

Today is another day for the three of them to get together. Actually, there is nothing big to do. They just drink tea, chat, and find out some news from each other.

The three of them were sitting by the window on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, Chen Yunhao glanced out the window.

As luck would have it, I saw the female cultivator named Yun leading two unfamiliar male cultivators walking from the West City Market towards the West City Gate.

The female cultivator named Yun was still very attractive among the crowd, and was not comparable to ordinary female cultivators.

Following Chen Yunhao's gaze, Ma Han also glanced outside and then spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Chen! Even heroes are tempted by beautiful women, but sometimes beautiful women are like the sting of a scorpion, capable of taking one's life..."

It was obvious that Ma Han knew something about the inside story, and there was something else behind his words.

After listening to this, Wang Qian also leaned out to take a look.

"She knocked on my door a few days ago, but I ignored her."

Chen Yunhao withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.

"It's all greed that's to blame!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Have some tea..."

After three rounds of tea...

"Brother Ma, have you made any progress on the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Chen Yunhao put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Ma Han smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The Five Elements Sect auction will be held next month. I'm still short of spirit stones. I heard the starting price has gone up again this year..."

It is said that the starting price of each Foundation Establishment Pill is more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and it is not certain that you can get it.

Some small immortal cultivation families or small sects are the main purchasing force, and they often drive up the starting price very high.

Therefore, if a casual cultivator wants to bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill, it is far from enough to prepare only 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. He needs to prepare 15,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Ma Han said that there is a big difference, and that is indeed a big difference, at least three to five thousand yuan.

Chen Yunhao and Wang Qian were powerless to help in this matter. In theory, they were both struggling casual cultivators.

Take Chen Yunhao himself for example. He has saved up quite a bit of spirit stones recently, but it’s only more than 2,000 pieces.

The three chatted for a while and then changed the subject.

It was mainly Wang Qian who was talking, while Chen Yunhao and Ma Han were listening.

Although Wang Qian is young, he has a lot of experience.

At this moment, he was talking about some things on the Zhongyuan Continent, and Chen Yunhao and the others were listening with great interest.

In this world, there are five continents, divided into east, west, south, north and center by huge oceans.

The continent where Chen Yunhao and his friends are located is called Beiyuan Continent, which is said to be the weakest continent.

Go out to sea from Yuxian City and cross the ocean for tens of millions of miles to reach the Zhongyuan Continent in the center of the ocean.

The distances between the continents are so far that there are no inter-continental teleportation arrays.

However, there are powerful chambers of commerce between the continents, and transoceanic flying boats are available for travel.

The cost of travel alone is not something that ordinary monks can afford.

At this moment, Wang Qian was talking about some interesting things on the Zhongyuan Continent.

Before meeting Wang Qian, Chen Yunhao had no intuitive understanding of the structure of the entire world.

After listening to Wang Qian several times, I realized how vast the world is!

Moreover, Zhongyuan Continent is the real paradise for cultivators to practice. It has more techniques and richer resources, which is far beyond the reach of their Beiyuan Continent.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao sometimes speculated about Wang Qian's identity and wondered if he had come all the way from Zhongyuan Continent.

How could a mere Qi-refining cultivator cross a distance of tens of millions of miles? It was said that the cost of crossing the sea was enough to bankrupt a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

Speculations aside, Chen Yunhao didn't have any bad intentions.

In his opinion, who says that cultivating immortals must involve fighting and killing, and stealing treasures?

With the ancient mirror he has now, if he keeps a low profile and develops slowly, he will be able to ascend to the spiritual world. He is confident about this.

The three of them chatted for the whole morning and then went their separate ways.

This is a change of pace in life. Chen Yunhao cannot become an ascetic monk.

Cultivating immortals does not rely on hard work and practice, but on good innate talent and constant resources. If you follow the steps, then cultivating immortals will not be difficult.

This day, Chen Yunhao went out early again and went to the West City Market.

Trading once every two weeks has become a habit.

A few days ago, I spent a thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy myself a set of armor at the market.

This is the most expensive and highest-level magic weapon in his hands.

This armor is a top-quality mid-grade magical weapon, and its raw materials also come from a kind of mermaid skin in the ocean.

Just take the defensive power of this armor for example, it is more than twice as strong as the tortoise shell shield in his hand.

Normally, the armor is worn close to the body, with robes on the outside, as well as a tortoise shell shield. There is also a first-grade mid-quality Vajra Talisman in the storage bag.

This level of protection can be said to be top-notch among monks of the same level and is absolutely luxurious.

Chen Yunhao is very careful about his life and never hesitates to protect his own safety.

It’s just that I haven’t exchanged the flying sword in my hand for a better one, but there’s still a long way to go!

Today, Chen Yunhao’s storage bag contained a copied set of armor, two flying swords, two sets of robes, and three tortoise shell shields.

It's not that he doesn't want to copy more. Firstly, he has to consider leaving some surplus in the ancient mirror, and secondly, the quantity of goods sold each time cannot be too large, so it's better to keep a low profile.

Of course, he had disposed of his original storage bag long ago. The storage bag hanging around his waist now was a new one he bought later, and it has more space.
