The street stalls in Shanhai City were bustling like never before. The stall in the middle, named the Healing Station, was distributing elixirs to replenish one's spirits.
It is said to be free, but it is just a name, and it does not mean that there is no cost.
The healers at the Healing Station have placed a unique magical instrument at the entrance. Customers wishing to receive a free Replenishing Elixir simply need to stand before the instrument, and the crystal embedded in its front will light up randomly. If it's red, the recipient is ineligible; if it's green, the recipient meets the criteria.
The monks who meet the requirements can inject spiritual power into the magic weapon until it exceeds a certain value. The magic weapon will then spit out a spiritual pill for the monk who injected the spiritual power to take away.
The monks provided spiritual energy, and the healing station provided spiritual elixirs. This was originally a voluntary, non-compulsory arrangement. However, after the healing station opened, many monks came here, attracted by the use of the mustard seed space and other factors. With so many people, chaos easily arose, and some minor disturbances occurred.
…
After the comprehensive purchase restrictions were implemented at the Healing Station, for most of the time, the only business left was to purchase various spiritual herbs and exchange spiritual pills for spiritual energy storage balls.
Originally, Eryi did not expect to accumulate enough spiritual power for three thousand different cultivators in a short period of time.
After explaining how to use the spiritual energy storage ball, Eryi handed over all the tasks to his employees and went to do other things.
"Standing here, you can find out whether your current spiritual power is sufficient to replace a spiritual replenishing pill." Jiang Wenxia was explaining the use of the spiritual power storage ball to a cultivator whose cultivation level was much higher than his own.
The monk in front of her suddenly changed expression, as if he felt offended by her words. He shouted, "You little Qi-refining cultivator, how can you not speak? What do you mean by 'Is your spiritual power sufficient?' Tell your shopkeeper to come out."
"Our boss is busy." Jiang Wenxia replied politely.
"Heh." The monk chuckled and released all the pressure from his body towards Jiang Wenxia, but Jiang Wenxia didn't care.
This was within their master's magical instrument. The foundation-building pressure that normally could easily force her to her knees was exerted here, like a gentle breeze blowing against her face.
Seeing no effect, the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had exerted the pressure seemed somewhat incredulous, his gaze casually glancing to the side. Jiang Wenxia followed his gaze and saw a familiar-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator standing there, which made him laugh.
Here we go again. No wonder you can find fault with any random sentence.
This Foundation Establishment cultivator had caused a minor altercation at the Healing Inn earlier. Beyond the commotion, he hadn't taken any real action. However, in the world of cultivation, eloquent speakers were rare; they were either teaching a lesson from a certain sect or working as shop assistants or shopkeepers. Judging from his cultivation level, he didn't seem like a lobbyist.
She had no idea where these two men came from or why they came to the Healing Inn to cause trouble, nor did she need to know. As their boss had said, they simply disliked their shop, so she ignored them.
Seeing that the pressure from the foundation-building cultivator was like nothing, the people on the side became interested.
Now it’s going to be fun.
Jiang Wenxia shifted her gaze away from the Foundation Establishment cultivator, still smiling, but in the eyes of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was very dazzling.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator gathered his spiritual energy and took out his magic weapon, looking as if he was about to destroy the shop. However, the magic weapon flew out of his hand and fell to the ground. The Foundation Establishment cultivator also suddenly collapsed, rolling to a stop right at Jiang Wenxia's feet.
She turned a blind eye and continued explaining to the monk beside her how to use the spiritual energy storage ball.
However, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator lying on the ground began to gradually change, including his appearance and the direction of the surrounding spiritual pressure...
A green-robed monk emerged from the crowd and quickly carried the "foundation-building monk" away.
Jiang Wenxia glanced at the cultivator's face and then looked away: "The green light is on, which means that you have enough spiritual power. If you want to exchange it for a spiritual elixir, you can inject your spiritual power into this magic weapon until the number on it shows three hundred." She was not surprised by the fate of the foundation-building cultivator.
It was because their boss once said, "No one can hurt you guys within this magic weapon." She believed it very much.
Two months ago, she was an ordinary four-spiritual-root Qi-refining cultivator near Tongshan. She started to draw Qi into her body at the age of nine, and after more than ten years, she had only raised her cultivation to the third stage of Qi-refining.
As a cultivator with four spiritual roots, there wasn't much she could do. At her current rate of cultivation, it was unclear when she would reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Not to mention how a casual cultivator could possibly gather the spiritual stones needed to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill.
No need to use the foundation-building pill to build the foundation? That is the business of the chosen ones, and has nothing to do with these useless spiritual roots.
She had originally thought that she should cultivate in the area around Tongshan. If she was lucky enough to reach the foundation-building stage, she might gain the favor of a certain family or be accepted into a second-rate sect. But if she unfortunately stopped at the foundation-building stage, she might never leave Tongshan.
Asking about immortality? What does it have to do with her? She just wants to live a better life.
She knew very well how dangerous it was for a female cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage to be alone outside.
They have to face not only demon cultivators and devil cultivators, but also human cultivators.
Yet now, she had crossed fifteen markets and arrived at what the casual cultivators called Shanhai City, and in the future, she would travel throughout the entire Qingling Realm. All this had changed simply because two months ago, while she was on her way to Tongshan Market to exchange spiritual herbs for spiritual stones, she somehow stumbled upon a healing inn and became a clerk there.
What originally attracted her to work at the Healing Station was the monthly payment of three low-grade spirit stones and one bottle of low-grade spirit-replenishing pills, but compared to what she actually gained here, these were nothing.
However, in just two months, the experiences she had gained were enough to allow her to advance a small realm, entering the fourth stage of Qi Refining. Furthermore, a month ago, because she had worked at the Healing Station for over a month, she had learned a medical technique called Spring Breeze Technique.
Mastering magic wasn't easy, and although she hadn't yet mastered it completely, the master had told them that the Spring Breeze Technique could be used to cultivate spiritual energy. Once they mastered it, they could cultivate spiritual energy for cultivators at the next highest level.
She said, "If you don't want to work for me anymore, after learning this technique, you can follow my example and open a clinic."
Jiang Wenxia didn't know what the other two companions who came to work at the treatment station with her thought, but she would not leave.
Shanhai City, a certain cave.
A Jindan cultivator was stunned: "What, Master Qian was defeated?" After a moment, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Who was it that killed him?"
The friend who was visiting hesitated and said, "A newly opened store... no, a street stall?"
"Why would Master Qian go to a street stall?"
"It's a long story."
To be called a true person, one’s cultivation must be very high. The one with the surname Qian is a Nascent Soul cultivator.
When this cultivator reached the Nascent Soul stage, something clicked in his mind, and his personality changed drastically. He became particularly fond of playing the fool and eating the tiger, suppressing his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage, or even the Qi Refining stage, changing his appearance, and then going to various shops to cause trouble.
In the world of cultivation, it is inevitable that people will be treated differently based on their status. When the waiters in the store saw that the troublemaker was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or even a Qi Refining cultivator, how could they give him any face? A fight was inevitable.
At this time, Master Qian will take off his disguise, reveal his true form, release his powerful pressure, and overwhelm the opponent.
He was a Yuanying Zhenren, so which shop could afford to do that? They could only compensate him with spirit stones. If he liked a good item in the shop, they would have to grit their teeth and let him take it.
As for running into tough opponents, that was out of the question. Master Qian always assessed the situation before taking action. Even those who ran shops in Shanhai City, even if they were truly advanced in cultivation, would spend most of their time away from their shops. The toughest opponents were only at the Nascent Soul stage, just like him.
As long as he doesn't anger the city lord, he can do whatever he wants.
Master Qian was quite sensible and knew the Shanhai City Lord's bottom line. He would only attack the same shop once at most, and he enjoyed playing the pig and eating the tiger, and he could get rid of it with just a few spirit stones.
"Originally, no one knew it was him. They just thought he was an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator causing trouble..."
The Jindan cultivator was surprised: "You mean, you've never seen anyone take action?"
"The girl at the door who is receiving guests is only at the Qi Refining stage."
"But she was not affected by the pressure." The Jindan cultivator touched his chin: "Not right, could this person be like Master Qian?" In fact, he was a cultivator with a high level of cultivation.
"Let's not talk about that." The friend took out a pill mysteriously: "What I want to tell you is this, the Soul-Replenishing Pill."
The Jindan cultivator held the Soul-Replenishing Pill in his hand and examined it. "This doesn't look like any Soul-Replenishing Pill I've ever bought. Where did it come from?"
"That's right," the friend said. "This is what I found at the healing station." This item is incredibly effective, completely different from ordinary elixirs. Not only does it contain no toxicity, but it also penetrates the meridians extremely quickly, without the buffering time required by ordinary elixirs.
He had exchanged two of these at the Healing Station while watching the fun. Unlike Foundation Establishment cultivators, Golden Core cultivators, after possessing their Golden Core, automatically gathered spiritual energy with every breath they took, which was then refined by the Golden Core and transformed into their own spiritual power.
In addition, they were in Shanhai City, where they couldn't even fly, so the places where they could use their spiritual power were really limited. He had a lot of spiritual power, so using it to exchange for something was nothing.
He took one of the two soul-replenishing pills he got in exchange, and gave the other one to his friend.
Although the monks at the treatment station had mentioned to him that this item could only be taken by himself, but things like the Soul-Replenishing Pill were everywhere, and since it wasn't a life-saving magic weapon, how could it be differentiated by user?
He didn't take it seriously.
He wasn't the only one who didn't take it seriously.
