Li Shiming never thought that he would be targeted. In his opinion, he should be a pacifist, so he left all the fighting to his clone Li Yuanba. Although he was powerful, he mainly focused on refining pills and accumulating resources for cultivation.

The clone Li Yuanba would not be able to get here very quickly, so he decided to go meet Yin Shilan first. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Since he had plenty of time, he enjoyed the scenery along the way while flying.

There is no need to worry about resources, this kind of immortal cultivation life is really comfortable and pleasant.

He casually took out a jade slip. This was a map provided by the sect, exchanged for contribution points. Its content was much richer than that of ordinary maps.

"There's a big market up ahead, we could go take a look!" Because of the 'Purple Air Coming from the East', he had been in a semi-secluded state and had hardly ever left the mountain gate. Naturally, he wanted to see more this time he went out.

Now, he can confidently say that spirit stones are just numbers and he is not interested in them.

As a high-level alchemist who produces elixirs in large quantities, the high-level elixirs in his space ring alone would amount to an astronomical figure if converted into spirit stones.

As he was thinking about it, he was already close to the sky above the market town. He descended and stopped outside the market town.

He uttered a spell, and the formation of the market town opened and he walked in.

"Whose market is that?" Ji Hongbo, who was monitoring Li Shiming from afar with secret methods, asked in a deep voice.

Ji Hongbo's father is a Jindan elder, and he has the Yuanying ancestor as his backer. Normally, he would never go to such a market, and he has never even paid attention to it.

"That's the Hang family's market!" a cultivator nearby immediately replied.

"The Hang family, is it the family of Hang Jian who has a good relationship with my father?" Ji Hongbo asked after thinking for a while.

"It is Senior Hang's family!" The cultivator next to him did not dare to call a Jindan cultivator's name directly like he did, so he bowed and answered.

"Go and ask if Hang Jian is here?" Ji Hongbo's eyes flickered and he waved his hand and gave the order.

Even though he didn't have much respect for Hang Jian, he was still very wary of a cultivator in the early Jindan stage.

If Hang Jian was in the market town, he could not guarantee that he could persuade Hang Jian to help him deal with Li Shiming.

You should know that although Hang Jian is on good terms with Elder Ji, their relationship has not yet reached the level where he would deal with Elder Su's direct disciple just to please Elder Ji, and that direct disciple is the true master of alchemy from the Shushan Sect.

If something like this happened, the Hang family would be wiped out.

"Senior Brother Ji, Senior Hang is not in the market town. Currently, Hang Yuqing is in charge of the market town!" It didn't take long for the cultivator to come back and report the situation.

"God helps me!" Ji Hongbo laughed.

Li Shiming entered the market town, which was quite lively. In addition to the shops in the pavilions on both sides, many cultivators were placing the spiritual objects they had obtained in front of them on the roadside for sale.

Looking around, there are at least nearly a thousand cultivators in the market town, and more than half of them are foundation-building cultivators. This is a market town that mainly relies on resources from foundation-building cultivators.

He couldn't help but sigh that only in an environment like Beishu where people cultivate immortality could there be so many foundation-building cultivators.

Most of the foundation-building cultivators here are not from sects, but what are commonly known as independent cultivators.

This can be distinguished from the details on the monks. The monks of a sect will have the sect mark on their bodies, and they will not put away the sect mark unless they are deliberately hiding it.

Li Shiming did not hide his face. He walked past various stalls with his mind bound into a line so as not to affect other cultivators. He only observed the spiritual objects being sold.

Independent cultivators have their own ways, and many strange and bizarre spiritual creatures can be seen here.

It did open his eyes, and he would buy some spiritual items from time to time.

"Fellow Daoist, the things here are what I just got from an abandoned mansion. That is the abandoned mansion of a great monk!" A thin cultivator in the early stage of foundation building saw that Li Shiming had spent a lot of money at other stalls, and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Shiming's spiritual sense swept over the spiritual objects on his stall and he couldn't help but shook his head.

The abandoned mansion of a great monk is not something that a monk in the early stage of foundation building can explore. The spiritual objects placed on the ground, although they look old, some of the tampering can be seen clearly under the divine sense.

The so-called great cultivator is a respectful title given by lower-level cultivators to Nascent Soul cultivators. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, only cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage can truly be called great cultivators.

No matter what title a great cultivator is called, he is not someone that a foundation-building cultivator can covet.

The last time he explored the remains of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon, he nearly lost his life there.

"Fellow Daoist, I really have something good. Take a look at this jade slip. It's an ancient jade slip!" The lean cultivator in the early stage of foundation building saw that Li Shiming had no intention of buying it, and he rolled his eyes and continued speaking.

He took out a jade slip and placed it in front of Li Shiming. The jade slip was indeed extremely ancient, and its style was very different from modern jade slips.

Li Shiming's divine sense swept across the jade slip, which made him a little curious. The jade slip had traces of repair. The level of repair was very high, but it was not enough to conceal the scan of the divine sense.

The jade slip was damaged. It was indeed an ancient jade slip, but it was hard to say whether it could be used.

However, the lean cultivator in the early stage of foundation building placed the ancient jade slip so close to Li Shiming that Li Shiming's spiritual sense easily entered the ancient jade slip and checked the contents inside.

The content inside the ancient jade slip is not fluent and uses ancient characters. Judging from the damage to the ancient jade slip, it is very likely that the damage to the ancient jade slip has caused problems with the content.

But Li Shiming didn't see it that way. With his divine sense, he felt a trace of the remnants of the realm barrier, which meant that this ancient jade slip originally had a realm barrier.

Jade slips with realm barriers are basically inheritance jade slips, and one needs to reach a certain realm before being able to view the corresponding contents.

This method is the most commonly used method in the world of immortal cultivation. It is designed to prevent people from forcibly checking high-level techniques without reaching a certain level of cultivation, which may cause problems in cultivation.

"How many spirit stones?" Li Shiming asked casually.

"Five hundred spirit stones!" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the lean cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and he gritted his teeth and said a high price.

Li Shiming was just about to accept it, as he was not short of spirit stones. This ancient jade slip was worth studying, and five hundred spirit stones were not a big number.

"Qi Bao, you actually dared to come to the Hangjia Market!" An angry shout was heard, and a white-faced beardless cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building came from a distance and looked at the thin cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

"Master Hang, I don't dare anymore!" The thin cultivator in the early stage of foundation building named Qi Bao's face tightened and he begged for mercy without any explanation.

"My fellow Taoist, this Qi Bao often uses some tricks to deceive some unsuspecting monks!" Young Master Hang turned his gaze to Li Shiming and explained with a bow.

Li Shiming did not feel the slightest bit of gratitude towards Young Master Hang who suddenly intervened. No matter what the reason was, it was extremely rude to rashly interrupt a private transaction.

There are no fools who can reach the foundation-building stage in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, he was wearing a robe with obvious Shushan Sect logo. It was very likely that this Young Master Hang jumped out to make friends with himself in this way.

"Five hundred spirit stones, and I'll take the jade slip!" Li Shiming took out five hundred spirit stones, threw them to Qi Bao, and took the ancient jade slip from his hand.

His movements were extremely fast, and he did not give Young Master Hang any face at all, which made all the cultivators present stunned.

Qi Bao secretly glanced at Young Master Hang who looked unhappy, then quietly shrank back and quickly disappeared into the group of monks.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems that I have been meddling too much. Please allow me to apologize!" Young Master Hang suppressed his displeasure and soon put on a smile. He pointed to a loft not far away and continued, "What do you want to buy in the market? There are no good things here. The market is mine, and that is my shop. It even has third-grade spiritual items in stock. How about I take you there for a cup of tea as an apology!"

Li Shiming felt something strange, and he did not reveal his identity, even though he was now famous, but Young Master Hang did not call out his name, so he thought he recognized him.

Just relying on the identity of a Shushan Sect cultivator, he cannot make the owner of this market town be so humble.

"So fellow Taoist is the owner of this market. I wonder which senior is guarding here. I should go and pay my respects to him!" Li Shiming did not move, he asked tentatively.

Now that he was in the bustling area of ​​the market town, even if the other party had any ideas, they would not dare to deal with him here.

Not to mention his identity as a cultivator of the Shushan Sect, even if a casual cultivator was targeted for no reason by the owner of the market town, the reputation of the market town would be affected.

The market town can attract monks entirely because of its reputation. If it loses its reputation, no monks will come to the market town anymore.

"My father is out meeting friends. I'm the only one in the market right now. You're welcome, fellow Taoist!" Young Master Hang smiled and made an inviting gesture again.

"Since the host has invited me so much, it would be unkind of me if I don't go. Lead the way!" Li Shiming said calmly.

He heard that the monk guarding the place was not there, and by observing Young Master Hang's expression, he was sure that this was true.

Besides, he had learned the 'Lotus Blooms with Every Step', so he was very confident of escaping. Even if there were Jindan cultivators around, he had the ability to save his life.

He was extremely curious in his heart. Why did Young Master Hang keep inviting him over?

Young Master Hang led Li Shiming towards the attic with a smile. Li Shiming didn't even need to use his divine sense to find that the formation in this attic was extremely powerful. It was a formation aimed at Jindan cultivators.

Such an array definitely requires third-grade materials as array materials, and it needs the help of an array master to set up.

I didn't expect that such a market could use third-grade materials to set up formations. I think the spiritual objects inside must be very extraordinary.

Li Shiming glanced at Young Master Hang who was smiling happily. He tried to release a divine thought, but Young Master Hang did not notice anything.

This made him shake his head. After all, he was not a cultivator from a sect and had not practiced any technique to sense divine thoughts.

After knowing that Young Master Hang could not detect his divine thoughts, he let go of them with confidence, and the IBMz15 in the computer room began to calculate the spiritual power line data of the formation here.

Li Shiming deliberately slowed down his pace and observed the first floor of the attic for a while. The first floor was full of magical instruments and first-grade materials, and was specially opened to Qi-refining monks.

By the time he walked to the second floor, he already had an understanding of the magic circle in this shop.

This gave him more confidence in dealing with Young Master Hang's thoughts, and a faint smile also appeared on his face.

"The second floor displays spiritual weapons and second-grade materials. Let me take you to the third floor to see the third-grade materials, and then come back to take a closer look at this place!" Young Master Hang introduced with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.

In the entire shop, the strongest formation is on the third floor, where his father usually sits.

If you want to trap Li Shiming 100%, then luring Li Shiming to the third floor is the best option.

Young Master Hang naturally knew that if Fangshi wanted to survive in this area, he needed to have a background.

His father was a cultivator in the early Jindan stage. He was able to suppress the market, but he was unable to expand it.

He had met Ji Hongbo before. Ji Hongbo was the biological son of the Jindan elder of Shushan Sect and a true disciple. To curry favor with such a true disciple of Shushan Sect would definitely be the best help for the Hang family.

Ji Hongbo sent someone to find him, wanting him to cooperate in dealing with an ordinary disciple of Shushan Sect who had offended Ji Hongbo.

If Young Master Hang's father was here, he would definitely not agree. Come to think of it, the Shushan Sect disciple that Ji Hongbo had to personally deal with could not be an ordinary disciple.

But Young Master Hang was short-sighted and was deceived and bribed by Ji Hongbo, so he agreed without much thought.

Going up to the third floor, Li Shiming was slightly startled. There were actually two third-grade spiritual objects locked at the nodes of the formation on the third floor.

I didn’t expect that the Hang family’s business was so big that they actually sold third-grade spiritual objects.

In fact, these two third-grade spiritual objects are not only the nodes of the formation of this attic, but also the core of the formation of the entire market town.

Although the two third-grade spiritual objects are not non-saleable, they will not be sold unless the price is so high that the Hang family Jindan cannot refuse.

Li Shiming's spiritual thoughts followed the spiritual power line and approached two third-grade spiritual objects. His eyes flickered with a hint of joy.

His status in Shushan Sect was getting higher and higher, but even as a high-level formation master, he was unable to access third-grade spiritual objects at his foundation-building stage.

Even if there are contribution points, the sect will not open the third-grade spiritual objects to foundation-building cultivators for exchange.

You should know that every third-grade spiritual object can enhance the strength of a Jindan cultivator to some extent. The rarity and scarcity of third-grade spiritual objects means that even a large sect like the Shushan Sect needs to consider the rationality of using third-grade spiritual objects.

Therefore, although Li Shiming has no shortage of contribution points, he is currently unable to exchange them for third-grade spiritual objects from the sect.

Especially the third-grade five-element formation materials that he needed most. He only had this kind of third-grade earth-attribute material, which was obtained by his clone Li Yuanba when he killed a true disciple of an outer sect.

And just now, his divine sense discovered that the two third-grade spiritual objects on the formation node on the third floor were actually two third-grade five-element formation materials, which were exactly what he had been looking for.
