The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao flew all the way, approaching Kui Xing Island as the sun set.

Because he did not conceal his cultivation aura, the defensive array on Kui Xing Island immediately reacted.

Several beams of light rose from the four corners of Kui Xing Island, forming an arc-shaped light curtain that enveloped the entire island.

"A level five defensive array?"

Lu Yao's eyes flickered slightly. With his Yellow-grade high-level array cultivation, he could still discern the grade of this array.

The Five Elements Defense Array is already capable of serving as a protective array for most sects. Even a Core Formation cultivator would need to put in considerable effort to break through an array of this level.

A beam of azure light flew out from Kui Xing Island and landed within the light curtain, only a few dozen meters away from Lu Yao.

Although the two were tens of meters apart, there was a formation between them.

However, for a Core Formation cultivator, this distance makes no difference compared to being right in front of them.

"My name is Mu Long. I greet you, fellow Daoist. May I ask what brings you to my Kui Xing Island?"

Master Mulong, dressed in a green robe with a dragon-shaped wooden vine belt around his waist, looked at Lu Yao with a solemn expression.

Lu Yao's aura was completely unfamiliar to Mu Long Zhenren, indicating that he had never seen Lu Yao before, which made him extremely cautious.

"I am Bingwu, and I greet Fellow Daoist Mulong."

"I've just arrived on Kui Xing Island and wanted to purchase some cultivation resources. I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Mu Long could do me a favor."

Lu Yao smiled, and with a thought, all the aura of the Core Formation stage dissipated from his body, making him appear like an ordinary mortal.

"What a powerful concealment spell!"

Master Mulong was shocked. To conceal his aura so well right in front of him clearly demonstrated that he had mastered an extremely profound technique for concealing his aura.

"I see. Kui Xing Island is an island under the jurisdiction of the Star Palace, and cultivators are not prohibited from entering. Such a formation is just in case. Please do not take offense, fellow Daoist."

When Master Mulong saw that Lu Yao had come to trade, his wariness lessened considerably, and he activated the defensive array with a wave of his hand.

With three Core Formation experts on Kui Xing Island, they were naturally confident in dealing with Lu Yao alone.

"There are two fellow cultivators on the island who are currently cultivating, so it is inconvenient for us to entertain you. Please come aboard the island."

Master Mulong smiled and subtly revealed that there were other Core Formation cultivators on the island, hoping that Lu Yao would not do anything to upset everyone.

Lu Yao naturally understood what Master Mulong meant and didn't care. He followed Master Mulong to Kuixing Island.

"If you are looking to buy resources, I suggest you go to Tiandu Street on the island. There are plenty of resources for sale there, including a good amount of cultivation resources needed for Core Formation. I think you should be able to find what you need there."

Master Mulong, assuming it was Lu Yao's first time visiting Kui Xing Island, explained to him.

"I have come here to purchase some pill formulas for enhancing magical power and demon cores of level five or above. Do you have any recommendations, fellow traveler?"

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and he asked Master Mulong.

"A pill formula? Fellow Daoist, are you an alchemist?"

Master Mulong was taken aback. All the things Lu Yao bought were related to alchemy, which made Master Mulong quite curious.

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Mulong is familiar with Kui Xing Island, so I suppose he can recommend a good deal for me.”

Lu Yao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Master Mulong.

"I didn't expect you to be an alchemist. Pill recipes and demon cores are available for sale on the island. Let me take you there."

Master Mulong's attitude immediately changed, and he became much more friendly towards Lu Yao.

Lu Yao couldn't help but smile knowingly. Clearly, in this chaotic star sea, alchemy was still a sought-after profession.

Master Mulong carried Lu Yao through the skies above Kui Xing Island, and soon they arrived at Tiandu Street.

In fact, there is an anti-flight formation on Kui Xing Island, but it only applies to cultivators below the Core Formation stage. Since most Sovereigns are Core Formation cultivators, it has no binding force on them.

Then, Master Mulong led Lu Yao to a shop called Baishui Pavilion.

"This Baishui Pavilion is owned by Baishui Tower of the Six-Linked Palace. It mainly sells resources such as pills and demon cores."

After landing, Master Mulong turned around and explained to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao knew that at this time, the Six-Linked Palace should not have yet submitted to the Reverse Star Alliance and should still be a subordinate force of the Star Palace.

The Reverse Star Alliance is still in its early stages and has not yet gained much influence, so the Star Palace has not paid any attention to it.

After all, the Xinggong family is large and powerful, and has dominated the Chaotic Star Sea for a long time. There are countless small opposing forces, and few dare to act openly.

"Senior Mulong, what brings you to my humble shop today? If you need any medicine, you could have simply sent me a message."

A beautiful young woman dressed in white walked over with a smile and respectfully addressed Master Mulong.

"Shopkeeper Mu, this is Fellow Daoist Bingwu. He wants to buy some things from you. You don't need to worry about me."

Master Mulong smiled and spoke to Shopkeeper Mu.

"Oh? Senior, what would you like to buy next?"

Shop owner Mu turned around, a smile on his face, and asked Lu Yao.

"Do you have any pills or formulas that Core Formation cultivators use to enhance their magical power? I also need some demon cores of level five or higher."

Lu Yao nodded and explained what he needed.

"A pill formula? Does Senior intend to refine the pills himself? I misspoke, please forgive me, Senior."

Shopkeeper Mu was also slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask a question in return, but he immediately realized that he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so how could he ask a senior in the Core Formation stage a question?

"It's alright, do you have what I need?"

Lu Yao shook his head; he didn't care about the shop owner Mu's reaction.

"Yes, yes, we have pills for enhancing your magical power, such as the Enhancing Essence Pill, the Vast Essence Pill, and the Spirit Ascension Pill. Which one would you like, senior?"

"As for demon cores, our shop has those below level six. If you need more, Senior, Bai Shui Lou can also arrange them for you."

After a moment's thought, Shopkeeper Mu gave a brief introduction to what Lu Yao needed.

Lu Yao was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that there were so many kinds of pills used by Core Formation cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea. It was indeed different from the cultivation world in Tiannan.

What are the prices of the formulas for Zengyuan Pill and Haoyuan Pill?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yao decided to ask about the price.

"The recipes for both types of pills cost 800 low-grade spirit stones each."

Shopkeeper Mu's heart stirred. Since it was someone brought by Master Mulong, she naturally dared not ask for a high price. She only quoted an average market price, after all, Master Mulong had not left yet.

"It's so cheap!"

Lu Yao had previously bought some Foundation Establishment level pill formulas on Kui Xing Island, thinking they were cheap enough, but he didn't expect that the pills used by Core Formation cultivators were also so cheap.

It seems that because the cost of elixirs is not as high in the Chaotic Star Sea as it is in the South, the value of the elixir formulas is naturally lower.

"This is a spirit stone."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao conjured 1,600 spirit stones into the air, clearly intending to buy the pill formula.

After accepting the spirit stones, Shopkeeper Mu took out two jade slips and handed them to Lu Yao.

"As expected, the demon core is the main ingredient."

Lu Yao scanned the pill formula with his divine sense and immediately memorized its contents.
