Three years later, Ling Tian successfully broke through the sixth level and reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. All his abilities increased exponentially. Such rapid cultivation was due to the Dan Teng Liquid. Unfortunately, after three soakings, the effect was minimal and there was no point in using it anymore.
In the past few years, apart from practicing in seclusion, Ling Tian went out twice, both times to Stone City to collect soil and see if there was any news about spiritual objects. He was lucky. Among the thousands of people who were sent out to search for spiritual objects all over the world, someone actually found a gradeless spiritual medicine, the Poxu Jiuxianju.
This is an extremely peculiar spiritual medicine. It is classified as of no grade because it is too peculiar. Although it is a kind of spiritual medicine, the Nine Immortal Chrysanthemums that are less than 100,000 years old have no medicinal value at all. But once they enter the 100,000-year-old era, it will be different. The nine immortal chrysanthemums will bloom instantly, and each one will condense a drop of spiritual liquid. As long as you collect the spiritual liquid and wipe your eyes, you can gain the Eye of Breaking the Void, which is a fairy art that can see through all nothingness.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the rarity of the Nine Immortal Chrysanthemums of Breaking the Void can be said to surpass that of immortal products. What is even more magical is that there is only one of them in the world. After the nine chrysanthemums bloom and wither for 100,000 years, they will grow out from other places. So it is very difficult to obtain it. Even if you are lucky enough to come across such a divine object, who can refine the Eye of Breaking the Void? I don’t know how many immortal cultivators would have died in 100,000 years.
Moreover, such a rare item needs to be nourished by essence and blood. Once it is replaced by someone else's essence and blood, it will immediately wither and disappear. Therefore, it is impossible for future generations to obtain the immortal art. The only recorded time was the Eternal Emperor billions of years ago. Since then, no one has been able to obtain the Eye of Breaking the Void.
Ling Tian was thrilled for several days when he first acquired it, but after learning about its effects from a book of unofficial history obtained from Jiang Rui, he was speechless. A hundred thousand years? He wasn't sure if he could even survive a thousand years. Even with a space with four times the flow rate, the chances were slim. He could only treat it as an ornamental elixir to enhance the space.
On this day, Ling Tian left the cave again and went to Stone City. The current Stone City is extraordinary. Its scale has expanded dozens of times. The development in the past few years has attracted tens of thousands of survivors to join. It is clearly developing into a million-level city. However, there are only two cultivators, Lei Zeyu and Zhao Yongnuo, so it is easier for them to manage the city.
Both of them had much better talents than Ling Tian, but Ling Tian controlled their cultivation techniques and only provided them with the first two levels. Although they behaved very respectfully, he would not put himself in danger. Unless they reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would not give them subsequent techniques.
Ling Tian was not in a hurry to enter the City Lord's Mansion, so he transformed himself into an ordinary person and walked around the trading market in the city. There were quite a lot of items, but most of them were items from before the end of the world. There were also a few strange and bizarre items. These were things obtained by the expedition team during their adventures, and the way they traded was also quite novel. They could only use foods like sweet potatoes and taro, which were their trading currency.
Speaking of this, Ling Tian had to admire Lei Zeyu. He borrowed the same operation of issuing currency by the country before the end of the world. The City Lord's Mansion directly controlled the grain and arable land. Only work could get food. Private planting was strictly prohibited. Once discovered, the death penalty would be executed. This also eliminated the possibility of private individuals owning too much wealth. To put it bluntly, they were afraid of rebellion.
"Boss, come and take a look. This is a good thing that has just been unearthed."
Ling Tian was stopped by a small vendor. He turned around and squatted down. Looking at the gold and jade, Ling Tian had guessed that they must have found a big tomb. After digging for a few times, he found that the gold, silver and jade were not attractive at all.
Seeing Ling Tian about to leave, the stall owner hesitated for a moment, then called out to Ling Tian, saying in a very low voice, "Brother, I have something special here. Are you interested?"
"Special? How special?"
"Don't worry about this. It depends on whether you are interested or not."
"If it's something really special, I'd be interested. Show it to me."
In fact, when the man was speaking just now, Ling Tian had already used his divine sense to scan his body, and he really found a trace of imperceptible spiritual power fluctuation, otherwise he would not have stayed.
"I need to verify my credentials first to avoid wasting time."
When Ling Tian was strolling around just now, he already knew what this "zi" meant. He immediately turned his back to the man and reached into his clothes, pretending to take out some money. In fact, he had already used it to bring out a few sweet potatoes from the space.
"Well? Now you believe it?"
"That's all, too little!"
"If you think it's too little, forget it."
Ling Tian played hard to get and showed an indifferent expression. He turned around and walked away. Just after taking two steps, the man called him, "Come back, buddy. I didn't say I don't want to sell it. Why are you in such a hurry? But this is not a place for transactions. How about we go over there?" The man pointed to an alley not far away and said.
Of course Ling Tian wasn't afraid. He could easily manipulate such a mortal. He was just trying to dispel the other party's doubts. Maybe he could gain something even greater.
