After separating from Che Xinyu and the other three, Xue Kong walked alone on the streets of Taotie Beast City. He looked around and found that this Taotie Beast City was quite different from the outside world.
The people here are basically all monks. He has been walking for such a long time and has not seen a single mortal. Even the items sold in the shops are not ordinary.
Not only that, the architecture of this Taotie Beast City also has its own unique features.
A fiery red pattern is imprinted on every building, just like the logo of this city, and it seems to have a meaning that should be known by everyone.
Every few steps, there is a cluster of braziers, and even in broad daylight, flames are burning in the braziers. At this moment, on a stone wall in front of Xue Kong, there is a huge animal bone hanging, from the skull to the two-meter-long tailbone, without any breakage.
There are many similar animal bones, all exposed, hanging, or embedded in the walls.
After a few simple walks around, Xue Kong already had an impression of this Taotie Beast City.
"The market is almost entirely based on monster body parts and various natural treasures. It's not hard to imagine that these people enter this place from other countries through the teleportation array just to hunt monsters and exchange them for cultivation resources."
"The cultivators I've seen have reached both the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages. The most powerful ones have even reached the late Core Formation stage, only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul stage..."
"With such a large group and power, if the Lord of Taotie Beast City is not at the Nascent Soul stage, I'm afraid he won't be able to intimidate the people below, let alone maintain the stability of Taotie Beast City."
Xue Kong could guess this from the well-organized order of Taotie Beast City. The city lord of Taotie Beast City was not only a Nascent Soul cultivator, but his cultivation was probably at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Xue Kong's eyes flickered, his mind racing with thoughts: "The Seven Star Fire Array showed this scene, telling me that this is the place where I can form a baby the fastest. So this city lord... is probably a woman."
Xue Kong thought of this easily.
It was just a coincidence that he met Wu Bei and Shi Ling, and they still used the Immortal Fetus Curse to quickly form a baby. He couldn't compare the speed of the two.
As he walked, Xue Kong stopped in front of an exquisite attic. He looked up at the plaque on the attic and walked in.
The attic was very empty, with not many monks coming and going.
Xue Kong walked straight to the counter and asked, "Do you have any high-level pills for sale?"
"High-level elixirs?" A handsome young man stood at the counter. He glanced at Xue Kong and nodded, "Of course we have."
"High-level elixirs are not displayed to the public. Please follow me to the private room and I will get them for you."
In the elegant private room, Xue Kong picked up a cup of fragrant tea. Not long after, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and the handsome young man walked in again.
Behind him, there were three slim women, carrying trays, and they stood in front of Xue Kong.
"Sir, this is the high-level elixir you requested. Please allow me to introduce it to you."
The handsome young man pointed at the pills on the tray and spoke slowly, "This first one is the Dragon Emperor Blood Pill. It's made from the soul of a Jindan-stage demon dragon, supplemented with thousand-year-old blood lotus, Taiji grass, firebird essence stone, and white crystal beads. It's suitable for cultivators above the Jindan stage."
The boy did not mention the price.
Xue Kong's gaze fell on the Dragon Emperor Blood Pill. It was a blood-colored pill. Just by placing it there, a faint blood aura was released from an inch around the pill.
Moreover, from the inside of the pill, you can vaguely see a blurry shadow flowing. At just one glance, you can tell that this pill is extraordinary.
Xue Kong didn't say anything. This pill did work for him, but it wasn't a big one.
After all, his cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, spirit stones are no longer as effective as elixirs in improving one's cultivation. If Xue Kong wants to improve his cultivation quickly, he must swallow elixirs suitable for the Nascent Soul stage, and this Taotie Beast City can obviously provide them.
"The second one is Tianchi Powder... Strictly speaking, this isn't a pill, but a medicinal powder. It's made by adding Xuanbing Holy Water and the demon cores of three Jindan-stage demon beasts. It's suitable for cultivators in the late Jindan stage and above."
"The third one..."
Xue Kong didn't say anything, and the handsome young man introduced them one by one. Unfortunately, although these pills were first-class, they were all suitable for Jindan stage cultivation, and none of them were suitable for Yuanying stage cultivation.
When the young man was about to continue his introduction, Xue Kong raised his hand to interrupt him: "Enough, I need a higher-level elixir."
"Higher level?" The young man blinked. He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and could not see what level Xue Kong was at. He provided these pills to Xue Kong only because he had concluded from past experience that Xue Kong was at a high level.
At this moment, when Xue Kong said this, he immediately understood: "What you need is a high-level elixir for the Nascent Soul stage, right?"
Xue Kong nodded.
The young man pondered for a moment, then kindly warned, "Senior, your cultivation is unfathomable, but I dare to warn you... If you swallow a pill that is far beyond your own cultivation level, it will not only be useless, but will actually cause harm and harm yourself."
Seeing that Xue Kong was unmoved, the young man walked out of the private room without waiting for his answer and went to look for the elixir.
Xue Kong took a sip of tea. Although he knew that the young man had good intentions, he did not intend to reveal his cultivation level. There were probably very few Nascent Soul cultivators in Taotie Beast City. Once his cultivation level was exposed, it would probably attract unnecessary attention.
He didn't want to be too conspicuous.
Originally, he just planned to come to the Taotie Beast City to see what was so different about this city that could be revealed by the Seven Star Fire Array.
At the same time, he was also quite curious about the scene he saw that day. The woman in the green lotus dress he saw at that time was probably the lord of Taotie Beast City.
The totem behind the other party was probably the same as the fiery red pattern that could be seen everywhere in the city. Considering the talisman technique that Wu Bei practiced, everything in this Taotie Beast City seemed to be closely related to monsters, so he planned to stay here for a while.
Not only can you find opportunities to practice the Demon Blood Treasure Record, but you can also exchange resources for practice by hunting monsters. There are also elixirs that can improve your Nascent Soul cultivation, so your cultivation will not stagnate.
After considering many factors, Xue Kong decided to make himself look more ordinary. After all, although his cultivation was high, his understanding of Taotie Beast City and this forest was definitely not as good as others.
That night, Xue Kong stayed in a tavern-like cave.
Standing by the window, Xue Kong looked at the city that looked like a giant beast crawling in the darkness. Flames shot up into the sky. It was not that the city itself was on fire, but that the braziers placed everywhere illuminated the Taotie Beast City so brightly that it was no different from daylight.
"If I remember correctly, the pattern in the totem should be the ancient mythical beast - Suzaku." Fire flickered in Xue Kong's eyes.
"Taotie Beast City uses the Vermillion Bird as its totem, and the entire city is burning with braziers, as if the city was born in flames. From this, I imagine that the Vermillion Bird Tower is probably something special."
"I'm afraid He Gui's identity is also unusual."
