Li Shiming rejected Wang Fan's kindness, he just wanted to take a look at the environment.

When he arrived at the streets on the hillside of Wuqing Mountain and walked on the bustling avenue, he finally came into contact with the world of immortal cultivation in Dongqi Continent.

This market not only has shops, but many monks also sell their spiritual objects on both sides of the street.

Considering that only those who can enter here have tokens, and there are also Nascent Soul ancestors guarding here, it is no wonder that the business here is so good.

Li Shiming walked and looked around. He naturally looked down upon the things on the stalls, but he also indirectly understood the situation of this continent through the spiritual objects on the stalls.

He stopped in front of a shop called Wanshuge.

Wanshuge is four stories high and is considered a relatively large store on this street.

"Senior, please go to the third floor for the Jindan period classics!" As soon as he walked into the shop, a clerk came over and said respectfully.

Since they were in the market town, they could not use their spiritual thoughts at will, but Li Shiming used his 'Divine Eyes' to scan the first floor and found that what was sold here were the classics of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

The classics of Qi Refining cultivators are mostly paper-based and placed on shelves like ordinary books.

Li Shiming nodded to the waiter and went up the stairs to the third floor.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you need? Do you want me to introduce someone?" The person who was receiving you on the third floor was a cultivator in the early Jindan period. When he saw Li Shiming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

This early Jindan cultivator sensed the aura of Li Shiming in the late Jindan stage, which means that Li Shiming only revealed the aura of the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', otherwise the aura of Li Shiming, the Jindan Grand Elder, would have caused a greater impact.

"I need some books on formations. Are there any books like travel notes?" Li Shiming asked with a smile.

"There are eight kinds of formation books and sixty-five kinds of travel books on the third floor!" The early Jindan cultivator was very clear about the books he was in charge of and answered like a treasure trove.

"How many spirit stones are there in total?" Li Shiming was a little surprised. The number of formation books and travel books exceeded his expectations, so he asked out loud.

This also reflects that the foundation of the immortal cultivation world in Dongqi Continent is much stronger than that in Beishu Continent. This place is just a place for casual cultivators, but there are so many Jindan-level formation books and travel books.

If one could join a large sect, one would be able to access so many classics!

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoist. Let me do the math!" The Jindan early stage cultivator did not expect Li Shiming to take all of them. He was slightly startled and said, then he silently calculated in his mind and quickly continued, "Fellow Daoist, just give 4,500 mid-grade spirit stones. The eight formation jade slips are more valuable, and the 65 travel notes jade slips are considered as a gift to you!"

The travel notes were not worth much in the first place, but he did not bargain for the eight formation jade slips at all. He also saw that Li Shiming was wealthy, and such a generous Jindan cultivator was rare.

Li Shiming did not bargain. He took out four thousand five hundred medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to the Jindan early stage cultivator. The Jindan early stage cultivator put a pile of jade slips into a storage bag and handed it to him.

"Are the books on the fourth floor for the Nascent Soul stage?" Li Shiming pointed upwards and asked after the transaction was completed.

"Yes, if you want to buy Nascent Soul classics, I will take you up!" The early Jindan stage cultivator hurriedly replied when he heard that Li Shiming was still interested.

Under the guidance of an early Jindan cultivator, Li Shiming climbed to the fourth floor.

On the fourth floor, there was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, not the Yuanying ancestor he thought.

Come to think of it, there are only two Yuanying ancestors in Wuqing Mountain. No matter what, it is impossible to let one Yuanying ancestor run the store here.

"Pavilion Master, this fellow Taoist wants to buy the Nascent Soul Classics!" The early Jindan stage cultivator saluted the late Jindan stage cultivator and said with a wink.

"You go down first, I will receive this distinguished guest!" said the Pavilion Master, waving his hand.

"Wei Kewei greets fellow Taoist. May I know your name? I know all the fellow Taoists in the late Jindan stage in Wuqing Mountain?" Pavilion Master Wei asked Li Shiming with a cultivator's salute.

"Li Shizhen greets Pavilion Master Wei. I have just arrived at Wuqing Mountain and was about to pay a visit to all of you Taoists!" Li Shiming said with a smile and returned the greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Li is a thunder cultivator, and he has a strong thunder aura. Although Wanshu Pavilion has many treasures, there is no technique that is suitable for you!" Pavilion Master Wei complimented with a smile.

A thunder cultivator in the late Jindan stage, such a being is almost equivalent to the combat power of several late Jindan cultivators.

Pavilion Master Wei was deliberately trying to make friends with Li Shiming.

"I'm interested in battle formations and travel notes knowledge. By the way, if there are any alchemy books, I also need them!" Li Shiming stated his needs.

"These are the jade slips related to all the formations, travel notes, and alchemy in this pavilion. The jade slips on this level require high-quality spirit stones to settle the accounts!" Pavilion Master Wei sent out his divine thoughts, and jade slips were pulled from all directions and landed on the table in front of him.

It seems that there are not many Yuanying level classics in the Wanshu Pavilion. There is only one formation jade slip, six travel jade slips, and one alchemy jade slip.

Li Shiming was not polite either, and his spiritual sense extended into the jade slip.

Although he only stayed in each jade slip for three breaths in order to make his attitude clear, for an ordinary Jindan cultivator, it would only be a beginning, but with his natal magic weapon IBMz15, these three breaths were enough to copy all the contents into IBMz15.

"I want this alchemy jade slip!" Li Shiming didn't know the value of the knowledge of the Nascent Soul stage, and he only had a little over a thousand high-quality spirit stones on him, so he only took the alchemy jade slip.

"This is the alchemy inheritance acquired by Wanshu Pavilion. If there is spiritual fire, it will be enough to become an alchemy master. I will give you 110 high-quality spiritual stones in exchange for it!" Pavilion Master Wei said with a smile on his face.

Li Shiming glanced at Pavilion Master Wei. Although this alchemy inheritance was extremely good, what he had in his hand was not a unique copy, but a copy from the Wanshu Pavilion. It could be said that as long as the Wanshu Pavilion sold it once, any subsequent sales would be a net profit.

Although he didn't know the purchasing power of top-grade spirit stones, he only found less than a thousand top-grade spirit stones in Han Xiao's mustard seed ring, which showed that the value of top-grade spirit stones was probably not low.

"Master Wei, whatever you say is fine!" Li Shiming smiled faintly. He did not bargain, but he had made up his mind that if Master Wei asked him to refine the elixir in the future, he would be able to get it back from the reward!

When Pavilion Master Wei saw that Li Shiming agreed, he was delighted. The Jindan cultivator on the third floor had just given him a secret signal, indicating that Li Shiming was a big fat sheep.

So when he quoted the price, he doubled it.

While he was happy, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong.

Li Shiming handed over the top-grade spirit stone, took the jade slip and left the Wanshu Pavilion.

This alchemy book has no name, so its origin may be questionable, but the content is very real, covering everything from first-grade elixirs to fourth-grade elixirs.

There are also several secret methods of alchemy. Although the secret methods of alchemy are somewhat different from the alchemy inheritance of Shushan Sect, the principles are similar.

This alchemy inheritance is of a similar level to the Shushan Sect's alchemy inheritance. In the Northern Shu Continent, this kind of alchemy inheritance is only found in large sects, and only alchemists certified by the large sects have the opportunity to access it.

But in the Dongqi Continent, this kind of alchemy inheritance is sold openly.

He believed that the alchemy inheritance of the major sects in the Dongqi Continent must be more advanced, far superior to the alchemy inheritance he purchased.

Li Shiming shook his head. If the restrictions on alchemists were not so severe, the alchemists of the Northern Shu Continent would not be able to compare with the alchemists of the Eastern Qi Continent. The quality of their inheritance was too different.

But this has nothing to do with him. His alchemy ability is limited by his realm. Among people of the same level, he has almost reached the theoretical limit. No alchemy master can be stronger than him.

Li Shiming read the elixir recipes in the alchemy heritage and discovered the peculiarities of alchemy in Dongqi Continent. In addition to refining elixirs with traditional spiritual herbs, elixirs are also refined with the assistance of demon herbs.

There are also magical pills that can be used to refine elixirs in the Northern Shu Continent, but the recipes are extremely rare, unlike the alchemy inheritance in his hands, which has formed a complete system.

The development of demon pills in Dongqi Continent has far exceeded that of Beishu Continent.

Li Shiming asked his lifelong magic weapon IBMz15 to analyze and study the alchemy heritage, especially the part about demon pills.

If he wants to gain a foothold in the Dongqi Continent, he needs the help of alchemy skills, and when it comes to alchemy, he needs to consider using demon pills to make pills.

IBMz15 has made the refining of demon elixirs a subject, first building a simulation scenario and using calculations to reduce errors as much as possible.

He walked into a shop called Baodan Pavilion and went straight to the fourth floor.

He had observed that Baodan Pavilion was the largest store specializing in elixirs in Wuqing Mountain. It was also a four-story shop, which gave him some expectations for Baodan Pavilion.

"Yu An greets fellow Daoist. What elixir do you need?" Yu An, who was guarding the fourth floor, was not surprised that Li Shiming, a late Jindan cultivator, came here. He asked with a smile.

"Is there any fourth-grade elixir that can help one advance to the Nascent Soul stage?" Li Shiming asked directly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. This kind of elixir may only appear at the grand auction held every five years!" Yu An had actually guessed this a long time ago, and said with a smile and shaking his head.

Li Shiming was slightly disappointed. He also knew that any fourth-grade elixir for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage was extremely precious.

But when he heard Yu An talking about the grand auction that would be held every five years, he was no longer disappointed. He planned to take advantage of the opportunity of refining the elixir to save more high-quality spirit stones for use in the auction.

Who would have thought that in the Dongqi Continent, the monetary value of spirit stones was so important.

Of course, even in the Northern Shu Continent, the number of high-quality spirit stones is extremely limited. High-quality spirit stones are generally used in the large formations of various sects and are prohibited from circulation in the Northern Shu Continent as strategic spiritual objects.

"Are you selling alchemy furnaces here?" Li Shiming asked when he noticed an alchemy furnace nearby.

That alchemy furnace had the aura of a fourth-grade alchemy furnace and was also a general-purpose alchemy furnace.

The so-called universal alchemy furnace refers to an alchemy furnace that can be used without recognizing an owner.

This type of alchemy furnace is usually a public item provided by various forces and sects to alchemists. It would be very troublesome if it were to recognize the owner, so this kind of universal alchemy furnace was specially refined.

When using it, you only need to perform temporary refining and cancel the refining when you leave. Even if you don't cancel it, the next alchemist can easily overwrite the previous one's refining when he comes.

Li Shiming was attracted by the fourth-grade quality. This level of alchemy furnace was also a general-purpose alchemy furnace, so he could use it.

Using a fourth-grade alchemy furnace to refine a fourth-grade elixir can shorten the refining time of the fourth-grade elixir. The normal ten-day refining time can be shortened by one or two days, and the success rate of refining the fourth-grade elixir can also be increased a little.

"In addition to selling elixirs, Baodan Pavilion also sells various alchemy materials and related instruments!" Yu An looked at the fourth-grade alchemy furnace and answered. He thought of something, turned to look at Li Shiming and asked, "Could it be that fellow Daoist is an alchemy master?"

The reason for asking this is that anyone who can use a fourth-grade alchemy furnace must be a master alchemist.

"Yes, my alchemy ability is average!" Li Shiming nodded.

"Look at me, I've been talking to you so much that I even forgot to ask you your name!" Yu An suddenly became enthusiastic and said, patting his head lightly.

"My name is Li Shizhen. How much is this alchemy furnace for sale?" Li Shiming asked after giving his name.

“This is a fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Cauldron. The soul of a Fire Phoenix is ​​imprisoned inside the cauldron. It can enhance the power of the spiritual fire. Although it cannot reach the level of refining pills of higher levels, it can save time in refining fourth-grade spiritual pills.

If Master Li wants to buy the fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Treasure Cauldron, there are two options. One is to pay 5,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the other is to sign a cooperation agreement with Baodan Pavilion. The fourth-grade Fire Phoenix Treasure Cauldron can be rented to the master for use! "Yu An said with a smile.

Li Shiming suddenly found himself very poor. This feeling had not appeared for a long time.

He had no intention of signing any agreement with the Baodan Pavilion. If the Baodan Pavilion was a big force, he might be willing to do so, but he really had no interest in a shop owned by a scattered cultivator.

"I'm short of money, I'll wait for a while before coming back to buy it!" Li Shiming looked at the Fourth-Rank Fire Phoenix Cauldron with some regret. It's not easy to come across an alchemy furnace that you like.

The refining materials needed for the alchemy furnace are very special, and not everyone who can refine a tool can make it. Generally speaking, an alchemy furnace can only be refined by a refiner who has studied it.

"Master Li, why don't you consider joining Baodan Pavilion? Behind Baodan Pavilion is the ancestor Yu Songquan of Wuqing Mountain!" Yu An smiled and revealed the background of Baodan Pavilion.

Li Shiming was not surprised at all. Among all the businesses in the world of immortal cultivation, selling elixirs was the most profitable.

Wuqing Mountain has the largest medicine shop. How could it let other forces run it? Of course, it wants to make the money itself.

To be honest, even though the Baodan Pavilion had the background of a Nascent Soul ancestor, he still did not take it seriously.

The forces of independent cultivators are the forces of independent cultivators, so what even if they have Nascent Soul ancestors.

Under Yu An's regretful gaze, Li Shiming left Baodan Pavilion. He strolled around the market town again, and he deeply felt the importance of spirit stones.

At the same time, he also discovered that although middle-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged, and one hundred middle-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone, in fact no cultivator is willing to exchange middle-grade spirit stones for high-grade spirit stones.

Medium-grade spirit stones are the currency for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, while high-grade spirit stones are the currency for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
