Yan Hong suspected that Jiang Li wanted to do something with the color, but the spirit stones that could be earned from doing something with the color were obviously not enough to meet the exaggerated demand for the burial coffin. He still had to think of another way based on his own advantages.

It was also the first time for Jiuyou's clone to get married. Originally, she was just a carefree tree, but now she had to think of ways to make money for her original body.

This experience of its is probably unique among all its peers.

The clone was busy doing market research in the city that never sleeps, while Jiang Li's real body left the Sutra Valley once again.

After the competition, Jiang Li followed the team back to the sect, and then he worked hard on training. It took him a week to make his physical training technique, the Zhuangshan Sutra, take a step forward and reach the ninth level, which is on par with the Jiuyou Daojing.

Next, he just needs to wait for an opportunity and he can try to build the foundation at any time.

Just then, Elder He found him and gave him an exquisite little sword about the length of a palm.

That is the token of the Shushan Five Elements Peak, the number one sect in Dachong Mountain.

According to Elder He, Shushan invited him to the event in order to thank him for saving Shenshan Qiuhua's life.

He also specifically instructed Jiang Li to come before building his foundation.

Elder He obviously knew something about this, but he didn't say much. He only told Jiang Li that Shushan Five Elements Peak wanted to give him an opportunity, which would be of great benefit to building the foundation of his Taoism, and he just needed to treat it well.

Jiang Li held the small sword in his hand and could only sigh helplessly. There were many opportunities in the Shushan Gate alone, and the things left by their ancestors were simply inexhaustible. No wonder they were the leader.

"Rayquaza, full speed ahead!"

Jiang Li patted the wooden dragon under him. The first wood demon named Rayquaza flew towards the distant sky while swinging its tail.

Yes, with Jiang Li's careful training, this wooden dragon that was still ignorant a few days ago can now fly.

After all, Jiang Li was the biggest contributor to this Dachongshan monk competition. Naturally, he was received again by the Valley Master Wushe Zhenren after the competition.

In addition to a large number of regular rewards, Master Wushe was also very polite and told Jiang Li to make any requests he had.

If it were an ordinary disciple, he would probably express his loyalty first and then politely refuse. This should have been a very safe promise.

But Jiang Li is different. If you dare to give, I dare to take it. Without any hesitation, I directly put forward my request.

His request was not difficult, he just wanted the sect's weapon refining hall to do him a favor and give his demon wood dragon a full set of rune engravings according to the standards of a warship or flying boat.

The elders of the Equipment Refining Hall who were present at the scene immediately turned pale. The Valley Master made a promise, but in the end, they had to pay for it. It was really bad luck.

But even though they complained, they did their work without hesitation. After several days of hard work by the people in the Equipment Refining Hall, the current Rayquaza was established.

All over its body, every piece of bark and every leaf are covered with dense and intricate carvings, making the already majestic-looking wooden dragon look even more mysterious and elegant.

This wooden dragon was created by Jiang Li using the nine spirit ghosts' spiritual energy. It was already at the foundation-building stage when it was born. Now it has been endowed with the warship spirit engraving, plus Jiang Li's soul-surging technique package, it is already a very qualified mount.

The huge wooden dragon swayed its body, which was made up of a large number of leaves and looked a bit like the tail of a broom, and gradually lit up.

The acceleration runes on the leaves lit up one by one, and the thirty-meter-long wooden dragon began to accelerate continuously, galloping into the distance.

The distance between Sutra Valley and Shushan Five Elements Peak was not too far, but Jiang Li flew at full speed on the back of the Sky Splitting Seat and it took him four days and three nights to finally arrive. In his previous life, this would have taken him two circles around the earth.

As sunset approached, Jiang Li saw from afar five sword-shaped peaks standing in the rosy glow.

Even though he had seen it many times through the eyes of the sword cultivator's clone, witnessing such a spectacular scene with his own eyes still shocked him deeply.

It is truly a wonder of nature! No matter who sees this scene, there will be no doubt that these are the five fairy mountains.

He patted Rayquaza on the back and made him retreat from his high-speed flight.

Although the Shushan Five Elements Peak is beautiful, the Five Peaks Formation is no joke.

What if he accidentally triggered the formation and was killed by a sword? That would be so unfair to him.

"Jiang Li from Sutra Valley is here to visit you!"

Jiang Li controlled the wooden dragon to stop at the outskirts of Shushan. He took out the small sword and injected spiritual energy into it. The small sword immediately emitted a ray of spiritual light and shot towards the direction of Shushan.

Soon, several sword lights flew towards him from inside Shushan.

"Junior Brother Jiang, when I saw the wooden dragon I knew it must be you. I didn't know you would arrive at this time. I am so sorry for not welcoming you."

As Jiang Li won the first place in the Qi Refining Competition, the wooden dragon beside him also became famous. Does anyone else have a similar mount? Now this Sky-Splitting Seat has become one of Jiang Li's symbols.

The people who came were Chang Wanzhou, the Golden Light Sword, and several other sword practitioners who seemed to be on duty.

However, he actually saw a familiar face in the team.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Chang, you are still as charming as ever. I am sorry for being so rude to visit you."

"Also, Senior Brother Yin Qiu, do you still remember me?"

After Jiang Li exchanged some pleasantries, he suddenly greeted a fire sword practitioner who was on duty nearby.

The sword cultivators on duty were also in groups of five. The other four immediately looked at Yin Qiu in surprise, with question marks in their eyes.

They also didn't expect that their mediocre teammates actually knew the contemporary number one person in the Qi Refining Stage in Dachongshan.

"Ahem, hello, Junior Brother Jiang Li, long time no see."

Yin Qiu smiled awkwardly and greeted Jiang Li.

This fire sword cultivator was actually the first Shushan sword cultivator Jiang Li had ever seen. At that time, Jiang Li was a rookie with only a few pitiful bonuses and was very weak.

There was a brief conflict between him and the Fire Sword Master, but he ended up fighting to a draw with a slight advantage.

This is also the only draw he has had since his debut.

"Do you know each other?"

Jiang Li nodded and did not say that he and he had only met once, but instead said that they were friends.

Chang Wanzhou was also a little surprised. Jiang Li was such a brilliant person. It turned out that there was someone in the sect who knew him. Could it be that Yin Qiu was also a buried genius? It seemed that he had to pay more attention to this person in the future.

"Junior brother Jiang Li, you have come a long way and it is getting late. I will take you to rest first. Elder Wei has already arranged a place for you to stay. Please follow me."

Shushan invited Jiang Li, so naturally they would not let him be turned away for nothing. After saying a few polite words, he led Jiang Li into the mountain.

However, his Golden Light Sword Chang Wanzhou turned around and brought Jiang Li to the Water Peak. The moment he landed, feeling the water attribute aura around him, he knew that this place must be the Water Peak.

However, this Elder Wei is also the leader of the Golden Sword Peak, so why is the residence arranged for him to be at the Water Walk Peak?

"Oh, it's like this, Junior Brother Jiang Li, your spiritual root belongs to the wood element, and metal overcomes wood. It is really not in accordance with etiquette for you to live on the Golden Sword Peak, so it is most appropriate for you to live on the Water Peak."

Then, under the watchful eyes of a group of female water-based sword practitioners, Jiang Li was arranged into a separate guest room courtyard.

It's like going to a girls' school and living in a girls' dormitory. It's really exciting.

. . . .

The city that never sleeps.

After leaving Man Jiang Hong Inn, the clone returned to its original appearance and wandered around this city that never sleeps, thinking objectively about what is still missing in this city that never sleeps and what business markets have loopholes.

As the Misty Mountains gradually opened up to foreign trade, the number of resident monks here has decreased to a certain extent.

However, as an old trade center, the city's status will not be shaken at least in the next few decades.

Jiang Li's trip lasted for several days.

So, in this city that never sleeps, there appeared a Jindan monk with a golden token hanging around his waist. He had nothing to do all day long and just wandered around the streets. No one knew what he wanted to do.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Jiuyou's clone's actions made many people who were secretly watching him angry for several days.

After all, if a Jindan with an unknown identity and no ties decides to do something out of despair, the consequences could be disastrous.

But you know what, after wandering around for the past few days, he actually discovered a business opportunity. A business opportunity that is only suitable for him, Jiang Li.

Then rent out the meditation room, or sell spiritual energy! Jiuyou's clone, who transformed into Qingshan hermit, stopped several monk caravans that were about to leave the Never-Sleeping City and head to the Misty Mountains.

The other party was originally very dissatisfied, but after seeing the golden token on Jiuyou's clone's waist, he calmed down instantly, gathered all the caravan members together, and waited for Jiang Li's next words.

However, Jiang Li had no intention of robbing them and had no ill intentions. He simply wanted to capture them and ask these monks who had spent most of their lives in the City That Never Sleeps what they thought of this city.

And what was the reason that attracted them to leave and head to the secret realm of the medicine garden.

After discovering that Jiang Li’s clone was not planning to forcibly “collect taxes”, the leaders of these caravans breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though they are all in the Jindan stage, the Xudan realm and the Jindan realm are completely different concepts.

He immediately told everyone he knew.

For these forces and businessmen who already have a certain amount of capital, their target is of course the large amount of high-year spiritual materials produced in the secret realm.

They actually had no intention of giving up the City That Never Sleeps, they just wanted to open another base in the Misty Mountains.

These answers were all the same and meant nothing to Jiang Li.

However, he also noticed that there were also many low-level independent cultivators following in these caravans.

They are the ones who really want to move to the Misty Mountains and try their luck.

These casual cultivators have either practiced Qi training or built foundation, and their strength is average.

For those who don't have many spirit stones on them, even though the Misty Mountains are a new beginning, it is still difficult for them to seize any opportunities.

This relocation is most likely just a matter of luck.

But after careful questioning, they told Jiang Li that there was actually one more point, which was the real reason why they decided to abandon the familiar environment and prepare to develop in another place.

That is the concentration of spiritual energy in the misty mountains, which is much higher than that in the outside world. Even if you achieve nothing there, practicing in that spiritual environment every day will definitely improve your cultivation faster.

At the very least, you can save a lot of Qi-nourishing Pills.

Yes, in the great holy land of immortal cultivation and trade, the city that never sleeps, the concentration of spiritual energy here is actually no different from that in the wild.

This involves the knowledge point of the spirit gathering array.

In this world of immortal cultivation, there are magic arrays that can gather spirits, but most of them are ineffective and have too small a range.

Small spiritual magic arrays like that one do have good effects, but they are basically luxury items that need to be inlaid with high-quality spiritual stones, rather than relying on gathering the surrounding spiritual energy to work.

But high-quality spirit stones are so expensive that most people cannot afford them.

There are also large spirit gathering formations that are large enough to cover an area and increase the concentration of spiritual energy in a large area.

The Shushan Five Elements Peak and the Misty Mountains Medicine Garden are among them.

However, this kind of large-scale formation is too expensive to build, and often requires the use of natural terrain, or simply a spirit stone vein buried underground, to achieve significant results.

In this regard, even the Sutra Valley, which was built to protect the Sutra Hall, has not yet made any changes, let alone the City That Never Sleeps.

So now there is a Misty Mountain with a large spirit gathering formation open to the public. Even if you can't earn spirit stones there to change your destiny, then practicing in an environment with more abundant spiritual energy is a sure win.

Jiang Li was thinking, if he could provide such a superior cultivation environment, could he let others pay for it? No one would refuse to use low- and medium-grade spiritual stones in exchange for high-grade spiritual energy.

The amount of spiritual energy that gushes out of the body every day, if calculated in units of top-grade spiritual stones, would be about twenty top-grade spiritual stones a day.

Converted into low-grade spirit stones, that would be two hundred thousand, enough to scare someone to death.

It is hard to say whether the daily output of the spirit stone mines of the four major sects can reach his number.

As long as a part of this spiritual energy is diverted and exchanged for spiritual stones at an equivalent or discounted price, the profit from the conversion will be enormous.

Create something out of nothing and gain spiritual stones every day.

Just thinking about it really makes me a little excited.

Of course, affected by the spending power of the monks, the actual profit cannot be that much, but it is already a business that can make Jiang Li rich in a short period of time.

Because, he has no cost!

Jiang Li immediately used his identity as Qingshan layman to buy large tracts of land in both the inner and outer cities. Using the identity of a Jindan cultivator, it was very simple to do this. As long as the rental fee was paid, all the procedures were almost passed in seconds.

This kind of big business, with two Qi Refining Stages, would definitely not be able to start even with the Sutra Valley as a backer. There would be countless vicious dogs smelling the smell of profit and coming to trouble them! Therefore, this business must not be left to Man Jianghong, and it can only be done by Jiuyou's clone himself. A Jindan Stage cultivator is barely qualified to take charge of this business.

On the rented land, the clone took action personally, and powerful and terrifying Nine Ghosts' aura surged out, and large wooden houses and buildings rose from the ground.

Although the golden elixir of the clone is of ice attribute, the attribute of the Nine Nether Wood itself is still Yin Wood. With the powerful ghost energy of the Nine Nether Spirit, the power of these two series of spells will be even stronger.

Comrades, I have no desire to do that anymore, what should I do?
