"Even with our cultivation method that involves twelve meridians, we can only exhale three or four strands of spiritual energy each day."

"ah?"

Because of this "Huh?", the fairy got a beating—by having water splashed on her.

Upon arriving at the lake bay, no law enforcement officers questioned them, but the arrest warrant was still in effect.

As they walked, the three of them overheard some news.

"A while ago, the men's quarters under the Jiyue Sect tried to disguise themselves as the Shadow Man to receive female cultivators, and guess what... they all died!"

"Dead?"

"That's right. He had just become a shadow figure when his head was twisted off by an unknown force. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't survive that."

"Did someone intervene?"

"I heard," the man said in a low voice, "that the person in the shadows has such high cultivation that his appearance cannot be easily changed."

"What level of cultivation could grant such supernatural powers!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Even the immortals couldn't help but be curious.

"My Lord, at what level must one reach to possess such abilities?"

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni also perked up their ears.

[It depends on the cultivation level of the person undergoing the transformation. For example, mortals at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages, who are in the same world, could be considered as Human Immortals.]

The immortal has already connected with heaven and earth; with a turn of his magical power, the heavens and earth where he stands change color.

However, to fully achieve the effect of 'uniqueness', one must become the Heavenly One.

As long as the Heavenly Position is alive, not only will it change, but even a newborn fetus will be corrected by the rules of heaven and earth to avoid becoming similar to the Heavenly Position.

Unless they are biological children or close relatives.

Yang Tianlu is just like Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan.

Besides cultivation level, Li Changzhou also knew about a condition that others could not change their appearance: special physiques, especially physiques so powerful that they were recognized or not by heaven and earth.

This level of physique is equivalent to being registered with the will of heaven and earth, and their physical characteristics are also included. If others take the form of these people, they will be violating the rules of heaven.

The primordial divine body was undoubtedly among them.

It's still the constitution that nature least favors.

Therefore, those who tried to become like Li Changzhou had their heads twisted by an unknown force.

"A human immortal?" Xu Ni asked, puzzled.

"What is the realm of a Human Immortal?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked.

"Compared to immortals, who is more powerful?" Immortal now fully accepts his identity as an 'immortal'.

Forget about the terms "human immortal" and "immortal." Such notions are outside this world and will only harm you.

Li Changzhou stopped speaking and released his divine senses.

In the Three Sisters Market, he buried himself in sorting out what he had gained on his journey to heaven and comprehending the insights gained from his brief ascension to heaven.

At Lake Mingfang, he became more vigilant to prevent players from appearing.

The news of the Black Mist King's presence at Wangyue Lake has definitely spread, and both Yang Qinglan and her group, as well as enemies like the Crown Princess, will react.

Inside Lake Echoes Pavilion, fighting is prohibited—this is obviously no big deal for the players, as their safety is guaranteed, and the three of them will act separately.

Xu Ni went to sell fish and earned 1,000 spirit stones.

It's 200 yuan less.

First, the storage bag wasn't full;

Second, they shipped out large quantities of goods, and the market became somewhat saturated.

Each person receives 10% (100 spirit stones); the market receives 700 spirit stones.

Jiang Xiaoyue set up a stall to sell pills and earned forty-three spirit stones.

According to the contract, she would receive 20%, which was 8 spirit stones and 6 spirit crystals; the market would receive 34 spirit stones and 4 spirit crystals.

The immortal went to sell talismans, various intermediate-level talismans, but dared not sell the high-level ones, and earned a total of 1000 spirit stones.

She takes 50%, which is 500 yuan; the market maker gets 500 yuan.

Final total —

Marketplace: 1124 spirit stones and 4 spirit crystals (to obtain 1234.4 spirit stones, minus 10 spirit stones from Xu Ni's trade and 100 spirit stones from Shen Xian'er's thunder talisman)

Shenxian'er: 700 spirit stones.

Shenxian'er touched the storage bag.

The thought of the 700 spirit stones inside made her exclaim, "My storage bag feels so heavy!"

"An illusion," Xu Ni immediately denied, having only taken 110 spirit stones. "My storage bag was full of scaled crucian carp and it didn't weigh anything."

"It could be an illusion." Jiang Xiaoyue only took 108 spirit stones and 6 spirit crystals.

But her future is promising. She has achieved minor success with the Qi Gathering Pill, and next time she will achieve much more than this.

We still need to buy supplies for our practice, but it's already noon, so we'll eat first.

The three of them knew how to enjoy themselves. After earning money, they went to a restaurant and sat in a private room by the window with a view of the lake. They ate spirit rice, spirit vegetables, monster meat, and a pot of spirit fruit wine.

You have to eat these things in a private room.

After eating, one must refine spiritual energy. Once the restaurant has served the food, it locks the array, and outsiders cannot enter unless the customer opens it voluntarily.

A meal costs 25 spirit stones, paid through the market.

The three felt they had made a huge profit, as if they were using someone else's money.

“We won’t sell the scaled crucian carp for now,” Xu Ni said while eating. “Next time I’ll disguise myself and come alone to set up a stall to sell pills, talismans, and some other spirit fish. I’ll earn a little money, just enough to support our cultivation.”

"Mmm." Shenxian'er buried her head in her food.

When the maids ate, there were eight people at the table, and four dishes. How much they could eat depended entirely on who got to grab it.

When she grew a little older, she was finally able to eat her fill because of her beautiful appearance and was favored by the young mistress.

At this moment, if you bring out the old skills you learned as a child, you can sweep away all sides, sweep away thousands of troops, sweep away the ages, and be invincible at the table.

Last time Xu Ni tried to take it from her, but she won't this time.

"You bumpkin!" she said with a disdainful expression, slowly poured herself a glass of fruit wine, and gazed at Wangyue Lake outside the window, trying to appear cultured.

Xu Ni is someone who's aiming for the upper echelons; she has over 100 spirit stones in her pocket!

Besides... if we couldn't outbid them, who wouldn't try to take it?

Even a horse, though capable of traveling a thousand miles, will lack strength if it is not well-fed, and its beauty will not be outwardly apparent. A horse capable of traveling a thousand miles may consume a bushel of millet in a single meal. Ordinary people need to eat grains to survive, while cultivators need to eat spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, and the meat of demons to cultivate. Even a beautiful face needs to eat something.
