Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

The breakthrough took only about a year, which is quite fast.

Such a fast speed has little to do with his diligent practice.

The main reason is that he has been taking a lot of elixirs, and the recent practice of body refining techniques has also greatly promoted the growth of his cultivation.

In short, the breakthrough was very smooth, which was both reasonable and expected.

His spiritual roots are already excellent, and he has no shortage of resources. He takes elixirs every day like sugar beans, so how can his progress be slow!

However, it will take at least a year from entering the great perfection of Qi Refining to breaking through the foundation-building stage.

When it comes to the critical moment, you should not be too anxious. You should lay a solid foundation and everything will fall into place naturally.

After spending another six or seven days to consolidate his cultivation, Chen Yunhao opened the restriction, passed through the inner city, and came to the market in the outer city.

There is an open-air market in every immortal city, mainly to provide convenience for low-level cultivators.

Chen Yunhao came to the market mainly to buy a batch of spiritual medicines and refine a batch of Tiger Soul Pills. The ones he refined before had already been eaten.

Because the level of Tiger Soul Pill is not high, the elixir can be purchased in this market, and the price is relatively cheap.

It’s the same in all the markets in the world. Whatever is in high demand, there will be more stalls there.

Since arriving in Wanling City, Chen Yunhao has not used any magic weapon.

The first is that he has no shortage of resources or spirit stones. Even when buying elixirs, he exchanges them for spirit stones. This is unlikely to attract people's attention. Of course, he will not go to a store often to exchange them.

In addition, the spiritual medicines he exchanged were at most several decades to hundreds of years old, which could be considered ordinary goods, the only difference was that the quantity was a little more.

Secondly, I am unfamiliar with Wanling City, and it is a temporary stay, so it is better to avoid trouble as much as possible.

I walked around for less than an hour and just bought two or three kinds of spiritual medicine. When I looked up, I saw a familiar figure.

Chen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully and found that it was indeed a cultivator he knew, Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing was a Foundation Establishment cultivator whom he met in Zhenhuang City. The two had done a transaction before and had a good impression of each other.

Chen Yunhao was indeed a little surprised to meet Zhang Qing here.

Because he had made many inquiries in Wanling City, he knew that Zhenhuang City had suffered heavy losses from the beast tide this time.

Not only was the city destroyed, but all the monks inside were killed.

Among the 70,000 or 80,000 monks, it would be considered a lot if only a thousand could escape. He himself could be said to be the first one to escape.

It can only be said that Chen Yunhao was lucky. His cultivation was low, so he did not attract too much attention from the demon clan, otherwise he would not have been able to escape so easily.

Look at those dozens of Jindan-stage cultivators in the city, almost all of them died in that battle.

Chen Yunhao didn't bother to continue shopping, and hurriedly chased after him and called out to Zhang Qing.

"Senior Zhang, please stay..."

Zhang Qing turned around when he heard the voice and saw Chen Yunhao, and was also surprised.

"You escaped too...?"

"Lucky, if Senior Zhang is not busy, I'll treat you to a pot of spiritual tea."

Chen Yunhao's purpose was very simple, he just wanted to understand the battle situation at that time. After all, he was the first one to run out, and he really didn't know what happened afterwards.

Not only did he have this idea, but Zhang Qing also had the same idea.

Zhang Qing also wanted to see how this young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage escaped.

The two of them went to a teahouse near the market town and ordered a pot of top-quality spiritual tea.

It was Zhang Qing who lost his patience first.

"How did you escape, young friend?"

Chen Yunhao took a sip of the spiritual tea and smiled slightly.

"Senior Zhang also knows that I'm a non-combatant. We live far from the front lines. When the monsters attacked the city, I retreated to the city wall..."

Zhang Qing nodded as he listened. This was true.

I just listened to Chen Yunhao continue speaking.

"Senior Zhang also knows that I'm a talisman maker. In preparation for the next round of transactions, I've stocked up on two to three hundred talismans in my storage bag. Fortunately, I'm fully stocked...!"

Zhang Qing looked at Chen Yunhao with some envy and sighed.

"I really regret not listening to my master and learning a few skills..."

"As a frontline fighter, Senior Zhang must have escaped death!"

After hearing this, Zhang Qing sighed again, and his eyes became a little red.

"There were twenty of us in our team. We fought and retreated all the way, but in the end, I was the only one who escaped. What a pity for my brothers who shared life and death with us..."

Chen Hao remained silent. He was well aware of the battle situation at that time.

The number of monsters is several times that of human cultivators. The battle is one-sided, and anyone who can escape has a narrow escape from death.

"I self-destructed two magical instruments, and my own life-defining magic treasure was also damaged. My true essence was depleted, and my internal organs were injured. It took me several months of recuperation in this city to recover..."

Chen Yunhao listened to Zhang Qing's story and roughly understood the situation in Zhenhuang City after he left.

The Jindan cultivators and Yuanying cultivators in the city are the focus of the demon clan's attention, and none of them can leave.

As for the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, it really depends on their abilities and luck.

Zhang Qing was also fighting and retreating at the time, and had already reached the city wall, but there were still countless monsters rushing towards him from behind, and he had given up the idea of ​​escaping.

Everyone has the desire to win, and Jindan stage cultivators are no exception.

At that time, there were two human Jindan cultivators who fought with the demon tribe outside the city.

Perhaps they were forced into a corner and saw that there was no hope of escape, so the two Jindan monks detonated their Jindan one after another.

The power of the golden elixir's self-explosion is extremely huge and terrifying!

After two loud bangs, all the human and demons within hundreds of feet around were cleared out, forming a vacuum zone.

Zhang Qing just happened to cross the city wall and caught up with the Jindan cultivator's self-explosion. He took this opportunity to break out of the siege in one breath.

Like Zhang Qing, many monks seized this opportunity, and hundreds of them escaped at once.

This was the only chance in the entire battle, and the remaining monks were not so lucky.

Because Zhang Qing entered Zhenhuang City from Wanling City, he was very familiar with this place, so after fighting his way out, he went straight to Wanling City.

When Chen Yunhao met Zhang Qing, he was in the market buying some materials to repair his own natal magic weapon.

"Senior Zhang, do you have any plans for the future?"

After hearing this, Chen Yunhao sighed and refilled the pot of spiritual tea.

"Forget it. With my spiritual roots, I'm lucky to be able to build a foundation. Even if I join a large sect, I'll just be a chess piece. I won't go..."

Zhang Qing has completely let go of things. His master is a casual cultivator and has always told him that there are benefits to joining a large sect.

Therefore, joining a sect has always been Zhang Qing's obsession, and going to Zhenhuang City and fighting for his life is also for this purpose.

But now Zhang Qing has begun to think about retiring and is preparing to return to his hometown to marry and have children to continue the family bloodline. Jin Dan doesn't dare to think about it anymore...
