In addition, there are scattered independent cultivators living in and outside the city, coming and going, and their cultivation is all in the Qi Refining stage, and occasionally there are even independent cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage.

However, Yi Ming heard all these things from hearsay, from the martial arts figures who ate and drank at Deke Building. Some of them had worked for the four major families, and some had visited areas in the city frequented by cultivators and had interactions with the cultivators.

Therefore, Yi Ming got a lot of news, some true and some false, such as the Li family and the Mu family did not get along well, the daughter of the Hong family married the young master of a powerful sect hundreds of miles away, the Li family always remained neutral and low-key, but the other three families never provoke the Li family, etc.

There is an area in the city where a street is dedicated to serving cultivators, selling things that cultivators can use, including elixirs, magic tools, and restaurants that specialize in selling dishes made from ferocious beasts. It is said that the shops are all owned by the four major families and two other sects in the city, and there are also cultivation forces and independent cultivators from surrounding small towns doing business there.

This aroused Yi Ming's great interest. Although he might not be able to afford anything, it would always be okay to go and see it just to satisfy his eyes, right?

On the second day, everyone in the escort agency was free to move around. Lin Tingyang came here to have some quiet time and was too lazy to look for business, so he went to meet up with some friends. Zhao Xiaopeng and the other two also went out shopping. Yi Ming rejected their invitation and went to a clothing store in the city to buy a robe by himself, then went to a herbal medicine store to buy some materials, and then went back to the inn to tinker with it.

"The Art of Disguise", white, small success, 12/1000.

This is a skill he got from a player. It is said that its function in the game is to allow one to reshape one's face and save it in the face shape library. After use, one can replace the appearance, hide one's own name, and keep it for one hour. It is only effective for players below the level of Swordsman.

After obtaining it and traveling back to the real world, "The Art of Disguise" has become a book that teaches how to use medicinal herbs, and a technical method to change one's appearance by changing the voice and shrinking the bones.

Although it is just a white martial arts book, it is not of high grade and cannot change one's own aura and other fundamental information, but it is enough to deceive ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

Yi Ming spent a whole day preparing the materials, and only finished and put them away just before Zhao Xiaopeng came back.

"You stayed in the inn all day today?"

"No, I went out for a walk, but it didn't seem interesting, so I came back."

"We have been to Hualin City several times before, but we were always in a hurry. This is the first time I have time to take a look around." Zhao Xiaopeng said excitedly, "You know what, Hualin City is more prosperous than Linluo City, and the skills of the jewelry masters are much better than those in Linluo City."

As she spoke, she raised the pearl flower in her hand and gestured to Yi Ming.

"Sure, sure." Yi Ming said perfunctorily.

"By the way, I also found out about the monk area in the city. I plan to go there tomorrow to broaden my horizons. Are you coming?"

Yi Ming raised his eyebrow and looked at Zhao Xiaopeng seriously, "Are you kidding?"

Zhao Xiaopeng licked the corner of his mouth and said a little dryly, “We have no hope of practicing Taoism and refining Qi in this life, but we have never even seen it, and there is always a feeling of unwillingness.

We can just walk around the periphery, not stay in one place, and not deliberately snoop. If we are careful, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

The monk area is a place dedicated to serving people in the cultivation world. Compared to ordinary people, those people are like immortals on land. Although they all live in the city, how can ordinary people contact them at will? If any ordinary person can enter this area to join in the fun, to worship a master randomly, and to see the world, then what is the difference between these cultivators and those who are being watched? Therefore, except for those who serve the shops and monks, other mortals are strictly prohibited from entering this area. Once discovered, not only will you be held accountable by the City Lord's Mansion, but any monk inside may cripple you and throw you out.

This is a lesson countless people have learned at the cost of their blood and lives. Those wealthy guests who boasted at Deke Building yesterday either had the same idea as Zhao Xiaopeng and walked around the periphery cautiously, or worked inside as waiters or service staff.

After all, he is a man of the world, strong and healthy. He can serve plates and wash dishes faster than ordinary people and has greater endurance.

Many people in the martial arts world who want to seek opportunities for cultivation start out as hotel waiters, but most people don't have this opportunity.

"That's fine. Be careful and stay away. There shouldn't be any problem." Yi Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought Zhao Xiaopeng wanted to sneak in there quietly. "But besides occasionally passing by monks, what else can you see?"

"Hehe, I just want to see for myself. Maybe some cultivator will see my extraordinary talent and accept me as his disciple?" Zhao Xiaopeng said with a smile.

"Haha..." Yi Ming sneered. He didn't know how many people had the same hope as Zhao Xiaopeng, so the shops in the monk area were always popular. "Those who went in to work have no chance. Do they just want to have a chance by wandering around the periphery?"

"Just tell me whether you want to go or not!" Zhao Xiaopeng said unhappily.

"No!" Yi Ming refused without hesitation, "I advise you not to go either. What if some cultivator dislikes you and destroys your cultivation with a palm strike? Where can you go to seek justice?"

Zhao Xiaopeng shrank his neck. If he wanted to gain opportunities, he had to take risks. Not all cultivators had good tempers.

"What is opportunity? It's the opportunity that comes to you automatically. If you take the initiative to seek it, it's like seeking death!" Yi Ming advised, "You are going to get married with Xiao Cui soon, why do you want to do such a dangerous job? Isn't it better to be safe and sound?"

"Uh..." When Xiao Cui was mentioned, Zhao Xiaopeng's restless heart seemed to return to rationality.

Patting Zhao Xiaopeng on the shoulder, Yi Ming said with a smile, "I see that you have a unique bone structure and a deep fortune. You will definitely have a destiny where opportunities will come to you automatically. Going to look for opportunities is putting the cart before the horse..."

"Go, go, go..." Zhao Xiaopeng slapped Yi Ming's hand away and gave up the idea of ​​going to the cultivator area to see the world.

No matter how far away you are and how careful you are, it is still dangerous. Otherwise, those heroes in the martial arts world would not brag about the people and things they have seen in the cultivator area.

Yi Ming's hand was slapped away, and he returned to the window with a smile, looking in the direction of what was said to be the monks' area.

He turned around to look at Zhao Xiaopeng, who looked a little discouraged, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Of course Yi Ming did not lie at all when he said that to Zhao Xiaopeng. With a time traveler like him who had a golden finger by his side, he was destined to have opportunities come to him automatically.
