In an inn in the east of the city.

In the seemingly simple house, a second-level medium-grade ordinary formation was operating.

Inside the formation, a middle-aged figure was sitting cross-legged and practicing.

At the same time, under the several feet of soil below the house, there is a thick reef.

When he scanned with his divine sense, he found that this reef was no different from the other reefs under the soil on the island.

But inside the reef, there is a small cave, which is surrounded by a thousand phantom shadow formation.

Once this formation is activated, it can produce a powerful concealment effect based on the surrounding environment.

After being improved by Shen Lian, even a fake elixir cultivator whose spiritual power was stronger than his would find it extremely difficult to penetrate the cover of the formation.

Inside the quasi-third-level illusion array, there is also a five-element forbidden array in operation. Inside the double array is where Shen Lian practices.

There were often sneak attacks from sea creatures off the coast of Fuqiu, so he did this for double insurance.

After preparing the defense, Shen Lian began to retreat and improve himself.

Before, at the Siren Islands, not only his physical body was shaken, but also his sea of ​​​​consciousness was impacted.

It was very difficult for a fully armed cultivator like him to escape. Unless the remaining fellow foundation-building cultivators had the same means as Saitama, they would have probably sunk into the sea as well.

In Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness, there was a diamond-shaped jade talisman floating. It was the Small Town Soul Talisman he drew to help stabilize his own sea of ​​consciousness.

Currently, the power of this jade talisman has not yet reached the expected effect. If the five elements of spiritual power are blessed with the power of heaven, the power of the jade talisman will be comparable to that of a real third-level magic weapon.

Of course, by that time, Shen Lian would also search for the third-level gem to draw the soul-calming talisman, which would definitely be more powerful.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Shen Lian, who was inside the small cave, slowly calmed down his aura.

Sixth level of foundation building.

He did not have to worry about bottlenecks when advancing to a higher realm, as his two perfect spiritual roots had already suppressed the drag of the remaining three spiritual roots.

After being promoted to the sixth level of foundation building, his spiritual power once again increased by nearly four hundred feet.

Shen Lian's spiritual power increased to over 2,500 feet in one fell swoop.

The sixth level of foundation building, divine consciousness is two thousand five.

If this were to be made known to others, someone would definitely catch me and investigate me thoroughly.

It was not the first time that Shen Lian had doubts. Could it be that his body possessed some kind of physique related to the soul?

"Next, I have to find spiritual medicine related to physical cultivation. After this promotion, I feel like my soul wants to leave my body again."

"Could it be that my soul has mutated and is no longer compatible with my body, so I have to look for herbs to improve my body?"

After some thought, Shen Lian couldn't find the right thing to do, so he pulled his mind back.

"We still have to find a large immortal city, preferably one with abundant resources and stability, so that it will be convenient to collect spiritual materials for making our life magic weapon."

"By the way, the medicinal herbs must also be relatively abundant. After the seventh level of foundation building, you need to change the pills to ensure the best training efficiency."

"When I was in Cape Fairy City before, I took pills continuously and my body developed drug resistance. It's best to be near a place with many monsters, so that we can fight the monsters if a similar situation occurs again."

"In addition to collecting spiritual materials, the bloodline improvement and advancement of Dahei and Sanqian should also be put on the agenda."

…

Shen Lian thought of various scattered thoughts bit by bit. He took out a blank jade slip and wanted to write down his thoughts on it.

However, just when he was about to record it, he was suddenly stunned, and thought of the Hou Tu talisman before, and densely packed words appeared in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

I can separate my spiritual thoughts and send them to the puppet figure, so it is not difficult for me to write some memos in the sea of ​​spiritual thoughts.

Not long after, ripples appeared in Shen Lian's sea of ​​consciousness, and illusory lights and shadows appeared, each of which had some thoughts recorded in the form of text.

In a moment, the light and shadow disappear, and in a moment, they reappear.

The monk's divine thoughts are very effective.

"Use the Tianyan Fire Region and Earth Region to assist the bloodline evolution of Dahei and Wufengdan. Remember this. Sanqian will have to wait until the Tianyan Water Region appears."

After being promoted to a higher realm, Shen Lian had no intention of hatching the black phoenix egg. This area was still not very stable. He would hatch the black phoenix egg after finding a place to live for a long time.

"Tianzhu Mountain Mining Area."

Shen Lian finally summarized the cave conditions he proposed into one place.

The largest mining area in the southern regions of Tiannan Continent.

This area is vast, said to be several million miles in radius, and is located at the junction of several major domains. In addition to bordering the human area, it also borders the demon area.

As the main production area of ​​high-level ores for several major Yuanying sects in the southern part of Tiannan Continent, the Tianzhu Mountain area has gathered too many cultivators.

There are demons and human cultivators, so you can imagine how chaotic the order is here.

But precisely because it is the mining area of ​​the Yuanying Sect, many mining cities have been built along the mining area, and each sect has sent strong men to take charge to ensure the stability of the mining city.

Just like the fairy city at the end of the sea.

The city is full of peaceful and order-abiding monks, while outside the city everyone is busy, vying to perform well for the King of Hell.

A truly stable world of cultivation almost does not exist. It can only be said that whoever reaches a higher realm will be more stable.

It was just like on the Siren Island Chain, where the white-robed monk entered the monster's nest alone and slapped the monster king in the face. The other monster kings just lowered their heads from afar, unable to say a word.

Who can say that the white-robed monks are not secure?

After locking onto the Tianzhu Mountain mining area, Shen Lian leaned against the rock wall of the cave, squinting his eyes and began to think.

As the largest mining area in the southernmost part of Tiannan Continent, this mining area not only produces fourth-level spiritual materials, but also produces 70% of the third-level ores in the southern realms of immortal cultivation.

It can be said that most of the refining materials commonly used by cultivators can be found in Tianzhu Mountain.

At this moment, he suddenly realized a big problem, that is, he was right in preparing the spiritual materials to create the third-level life magic weapon.

But now he didn't even have an idea of ​​what kind of magical weapon to create.

Different magic weapons require different spiritual materials.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the magic weapon created is a five-element magic weapon.

In order to hide the body shape, it would be best if this magic weapon could be disassembled and used separately, so that the magic weapon with the right attributes could be used in the right situation, and it would also be convenient to hide one's own five elements spiritual roots.

There are too many spiritual materials that can be used to create five-element magic weapons. He can't just collect them one by one.

Others collect spiritual materials according to the methods used to refine magical instruments, but he is doing the opposite.

"You must first become a weapon refiner, so that you can collect spiritual materials with a purpose."

Shen Lian rubbed his head. Tianzhu Mountain produced more than 70% of the third-level spiritual materials, but he couldn't collect all of them.

"Tianzhu Mountain is the mining area of ​​all Yuanying sects in the southern continent. The Jindan Zhenren stationed there are far from comparable to those in Wanxinghai Xiancheng. My Tianyan Jade Talisman still has a chance of winning against the early Jindan. If it is higher, it will be a bit..."

I have never seen anyone who would walk around an ant when they see it under their feet.

No one would look back after crushing an ant.

Shen Lian also wants to be a serious human being, but in the eyes of high-level cultivators, he is still that little ant.

For example, in this Siren Island crisis, a casual act by a high-level monk brought a devastating disaster to the entire spirit ship.

"The Tianzhu Mountain mining area has a magnificent topography, with many mountains and steep ridges. If we arrange the formation based on the topography of the mountains, we will be able to exert a more powerful power."

…

After the promotion was completed, Shen Lian stayed in the cave and thought for a long time, and he made a preliminary decision in his mind.

He is planning a big move!

Go to Nanya Fairy City and open a shop.

If I don’t accumulate enough points of insight this time, I will be stuck in Nanya Immortal City.

Third-level formation and third-level refining equipment.

It is the main target of this big move.

A day later, outside the Moon Floating Island, a spiritual boat sailed across the ocean and headed north.

There are many monks making a living in the Fuqiu Sea area, and you can see many monks traveling on the sea in spirit boats.

They are all wary of each other and will disperse at a distance. Of course, there are also foolish cultivators who follow along the way. These are the ones who choose targets to do business with without any cost.

"Once you reach the Golden Core Stage, you can buy a small spiritual ship."

Seeing everyone riding on the spirit boat, Shen Lian couldn't help but think.

Even a large spirit boat cannot compare with a small spirit ship. It is said that some spirit ships have a kind of prying spirit ban. Once activated, it can independently detect the breath of living creatures hidden near the spirit ship.

With this function, you can discover ambushes on spirit ships in advance.

The journey to Nanya Fairy City is not short, and Shen Lian is not in a hurry to travel. When he encounters some islands on the way, he will enter the city on the island to take a look and selectively buy some spiritual objects.

When we entered the coastal waters from the Fuqiu Sea, we finally saw more islands, and some of them were inhabited by mortals.

The closer they got to Nanya Immortal City, the more spirit boats and fleets they encountered. Later on, Shen Lian could see huge fleets passing by every once in a while.

The entire Nanya Immortal City is like a magnet, attracting monks who make a living from the inner and outer seas, and gathering the spiritual objects they obtain from various places into the city.

Its prosperity is even greater than the Cape Fairy City in the inland sea.

When Shen Lian saw the outline of Nanya Fairy City on the sea, the sea in front of him was filled with warships and sails like a curtain.

Fleets and spirit boats gathered from all directions and gathered here, and the port was bustling with traffic.

Seeing Shen Lian flying over in the spirit boat, the Qi-cultivating monks on some small treasure ships and spirit boats all made way.

Although we encountered many foundation-building cultivators along the way, looking inside and outside the sea, Qi-cultivating cultivators are the bottom level.

However, the outer sea is rich in resources but fraught with dangers, and only cultivators who have established their foundation can go deeper into it. This is why most of the people encountered in the beginning were cultivators who have established their foundation.

Nanya Fairy City is a city that is half land and half sea, and it presents an undulating staircase shape from south to north.

The northern half of the city was built on a flattened mountain, and the southern half was built in the sea.

The city wall standing in the sea is two hundred feet high, like a giant ridge spanning the sea.

In the center of the city wall, there are three huge gates that are hundreds of feet high. They are like the big mouths of deep-sea monsters, swallowing and spitting out spirit boats and treasure ships.

Outside the city, dozens of docks stretched across the sea like sharp swords, each one a hundred miles long.

Even so, the dock was crowded with ships coming and going.

“It’s so prosperous.”

Taking in the entire scene of Nanya Fairy City, Shen Lian thought for a long time before uttering four words.

Along the way, while visiting various islands along the way, he also bought some introductions and notes related to the South China Sea.

It is understood that there are currently three city lords in Nanya Fairy City, all of whom are Jindan Zhenren.

The city lord is Yunshang Sect’s sixth elder, Yunlong Zhenren, a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

The remaining two deputy city lords, True Man Yunding and True Man Qingfeng, are both mid-stage Jindan cultivators.

The first five powerful elders of Yunshang Sect were all Jindan Great Perfection cultivators. Yunlong Zhenren was only one small realm lower, but his strength was generally recognized to be no worse than that of Jindan Great Perfection cultivators.

In addition to Master Yunlong's own combat power, he also has a third-level green water mirage dragon.

One man and one dragon killed a third-order great perfection demon king in the Tianzhu Mountain mining area. This is a real achievement.

It is said that in the eyes of many cultivators in the South China Sea, Yunlong Zhenren's probability of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage is higher than the previous five Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators in the sect.

As a great immortal in the late Jindan stage, Immortal Yunlong would naturally not take care of the affairs of Nanya Immortal City himself.

In fact, he never came to Nanya Fairy City at all. He was busy advancing to the Golden Elixir Perfection.

Normally there are only two deputy city lords in the Immortal City, but even so, the prestige of Master Yunlong still covers the Immortal City and shocks all directions.

After knowing the deeds of the Immortal City Lord, Shen Lian secretly said it was a bad omen, and then entered the Immortal City in a low profile.

Still doing the old business, copying the Black Whale model, finding a place to open a pill shop, hoping to live a few years of peace and stability under the protection of Master Yunlong.

…

A month passed in a flash.

On Huaha Street, which is located at the junction of the land and water cities of Nanya Fairy City, there is a new alchemy shop called "Benxin".

The meaning of "original intention" is to follow one's own heart, bear in mind the virtues of the alchemist, and devote oneself to providing high-quality elixirs for the cultivators.

This is Shen Lian’s newly opened alchemy shop.

After much investigation in the fairy city, he chose this street.

There are many cultivators in Nanya Immortal City, and there are even more cultivators who practice Qi. Opening a small pill shop is like a small wave in the sea, which cannot create much waves at all.

Not to mention anything else, the number of alchemy shops in the city alone exceeded Shen Lian's expectations. There were Zhang family, Wang family, Li family, Sun family, Bailian, Qianxun... the names of all kinds of alchemy shops were dazzling.

There are a large number of alchemy shops, and many of them are luxuriously decorated. The powerful ones have built alchemy buildings and towers. Some alchemy shops even have signs that a second-level alchemist is in charge of the shop.

A certain alchemist once refined a certain number of medium-quality pills in one furnace.

There was also a sign written in large gold-plated characters outside the shop saying, "Our Danlou can make foundation-building pills for you."

Unlike these large pill shops, Benxin Pill Shop is only two feet and two feet long, with two doors and a small window on each side.

Shen Lian uses the name of his shop to show his true intentions. He does not engage in empty talk and relies on his "true heart" to make good pills for his fellow Taoists.

In the small corner of one of the windows, there was a small sign with the words "Happy Dan, Limited Supply" written on it in crooked letters.
