This is Shen Lian’s most intuitive feeling.

He shook his head slightly and suppressed the thought in his mind. Unlike Weng He and Weng Xia, the probability of success was not high.

The Qi training level is still a bit lower than the foundation building level.

What's more, Weng He was only an outer disciple.

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

After half a year of intensive practice, Shen Lian has consolidated his position at the sixth level of Qi training and is almost ready to take the Barrier Breaking Pill to break through to the seventh level.

There is still no sign of lifting the blockade of the city.

The market town seems calm, but there are undercurrents underneath.

There were also more fights in the wilderness outside the market town than before.

Everyone is saying that there must be a great opportunity outside the market.

Everyone wants to be the chosen one who discovers great opportunities.

The Bishui Sect did not comment on everyone's speculation, and the sect's disciples scattered into the wilderness like a pack of wolves, running around everywhere.

All kinds of confusing news were flying around.

But no matter what kind of news it is, it is inseparable from the word "chance".

The seemingly stable market gives people a feeling of calm before the storm.

If this continues, Shen Lian's previous plan to go to Tianxia Tower in Bishuixian City to purchase cultivation techniques will probably be aborted.

Even if he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was not in a hurry to change his practice method, but he was afraid that the market would be blocked for three to five years.

What's worse is that one day the hidden great opportunity will be exposed, causing large-scale unrest.

The ability of Qigong practitioners to avoid wind and rain is too weak and they are easily affected.

For a Jindan cultivator, a little Qi training will destroy you, what does it have to do with you?

"We still have to find a way to leave."

Walking on the main street of Fangshi, I looked up and saw a spirit ship taking off from Yunmeng Mountain and flying towards the distant mountains.

After half a year of observation, he found that it was just as he thought. The Bishui Sect restricted independent cultivators from leaving, but the sect's disciples were not restricted.

Even the magic tools, elixirs, etc. sold in various shops have not increased in price.

This also shows that the supply chain is stable.

Shen Lian had consulted Weng Xia and learned that the shops established by the major vassal families under the rule of the Bishui Sect all relied on the Bishui Sect's spirit ships to transport resources.

The proceeds from the sale of magical instruments and talismans in the shops in the market are not all spiritual stones, a large part of them are raw materials.

These need to be sent back to the family for secondary processing.

There is no such thing as logistics in the world of cultivating immortals. Anyone who receives good things would want to hide them.

The spiritual objects received by each family were also delivered personally by family members between the family and the market.

However, due to the issuance of the ban, the exchanges between these family monks were also slightly restricted.

The family monks who travel back and forth from the market can only exchange storage bags with other family monks after arriving in Bishuixian City, and then return to the market on the spirit ship.

During the entire process, monks from the Bishui Sect were monitoring, and the inside of the storage bag also needed to be checked.

After understanding the situation clearly, Shen Lian also had new ideas.

Can I take advantage of the opportunity to go back with the monks from Fangshi family?

As long as we get close to the Chu State's immortal cultivation world, the worst that can happen is we can just jump ship.

Of course, this is a last resort.

There was a foundation-building cultivator on board the spirit ship. He estimated that as soon as he jumped down, before he even hit the ground, his head would most likely be chopped off by the spirit sword and fall to the ground.

But it’s still possible to have some extra preparation.

Compared to crossing the miasma-filled mountains alone, this method at least has a chance of working.

After having this idea, Shen Lian began to frequently go in and out of various shops in the market town, taking the opportunity to buy some common materials to observe the family cultivators in each shop.

First of all, the strength of the selected family cannot be too weak.

The family of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator cannot do that.

The disciples of the Bishui Sect also look at the people they serve and treat them differently.

The Foundation Establishment Family does not have enough face. Under the decree to close the market town, the family is not strong enough but still wants to bring one more person. They are not so bold.

After repeated considerations, the Jiadan family, which was above the foundation building stage and below the golden elixir stage, became the first choice.

The fake elixir cultivator is second only to the sect's Golden Core Patriarch. He has to give face to him when building his foundation, and the Golden Core Patriarch also has to show some respect to him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to Chu State by using the monk of the fake Dan family became Shen Lian's third backup plan.

The targets are the Lu and Qin families, which have fake elixir cultivators in charge.

The Qin family shop sells general merchandise, covering all kinds of materials. The shopkeeper is very experienced and has reached the seventh level of Qi training.

There was also a clan member in his thirties who was at the fourth level of Qi training in the shop.

The Lu family is the pharmacy where I purchased the pills twice.

Apart from the shopkeeper, there is also the girl who is a bit obsessed with looks, and she should also be related to the inner disciples of Bishui.

In order to verify his idea, Shen Lian went in and out of these two shops many times.

After observation.

The two family monks who run the Qin family shop are calm and steady, very shrewd in doing business, and they want to squeeze out the best out of even a stone.

Lu's shop.

The Lu family's shopkeeper is also very smart. He will squeeze money out of any casual cultivator he catches.

But that girl is really... a face lover.

Shen Lian deliberately used the divine mind talisman to observe quietly. The girl was bored from the counter and kept looking at the monks walking by on the street outside, and she kept commenting on them.

This one is ugly...that one is uglier...

…

The second option is to leave through the connection of the Bishui Sect disciples.

Shen Lian also found out the identities of the foundation-building cultivators who were in charge of the spirit ship. There were two foundation-building cultivators who took turns traveling between Chu State and the market town. Their surnames were Wang and Li respectively.

The Wang family is building a foundation, and they like other people's beautiful girls.

Li is a foundation-building person. He is dogmatic and rigid, does not like to meddle in other people's affairs, and aspires to achieve the golden elixir.

Of the two foundation-building cultivators, Shen Lian has not yet decided which one he wants to attack.

Anyway, from the looks of it, the spirit stones are useless to these two.

One is very cunning, the other is very unkind.

Difficult.

As for option one.

If you can't beat them, join the French.

If the situation really deteriorates later, he will try to join the Bishui Sect.

In the past, he was weak and had no skills, so he was despised by the sect.

Now at least I have reached the sixth level of Qi training and am a top-grade talisman master.

He could show off his superior talent in the art of talismans and go to the Bishui Sect to do odd jobs.

He, Shen, is very willing to contribute to the sect.

…

All the way to Jubao Tower.

Shen Lian stopped thinking about the plan in his mind.

At present, the situation has not deteriorated to the point of unrest. If we wait for another three or four months, the ban may be lifted.

"My brother is here."

Inside the counter, Weng Xia was taking a nap with his eyes closed. When he saw Shen Lian coming, he opened his eyes immediately.

When Shen Lian came to the small counter, Weng Xia came closer and said, "There is an internal auction. Do you want to go and have a look? It is said that there are foundation-building level exercises?"

"really?"

"The news was spread by the sect's outer disciples. Only those who are in the late stage of Qi training and those who are of the first-class upper grade can participate. It should be true."

This time, Shen Lian became interested.

He is in the late stage of Qi training and is a first-class top-grade craftsman. For the market, this auction is of a very high rank.

That is... Can a casual cultivator in the market afford a foundation-building technique? Most likely they won't ask for spirit stones, but for various spirit objects, or other conditions.

"Brother, do you know what the attribute is?"

"Not sure, I only heard there is a foundation-building level technique."

Weng Xia shook his head, then came closer and said, "Brother, you have saved up a lot of spirit stones in the past two years, I wonder if it is enough to buy the skills?"

"Others may not know, but you don't, brother. I have returned all the spiritual stones I earned to your Treasure House. I am just a spiritual stone carrier."

Shen Lian shook his head.

“I don’t know when the auction will be held.”

"It's at the foot of Yagu Mountain, a hundred miles outside Yunmengfang City. The time is two days later."

Shen Lian frowned slightly, wondering why he was outside again.

The two previous black market exchanges I participated in were both organized independently by independent cultivators. In order to prevent sect cultivators from interfering, the locations were set outside.

Because he collaborated with Weng He’s great-grandson to draw a top-grade anti-miasa talisman, Shen Lian now sells mid-grade anti-miasa talismans to Jubao Tower.

Although the profit from each talisman was much less, he could sell at least ten, and sometimes as many as twenty, mid-grade miasma-removing talismans a day.

As more and more talismans were drawn, the cost of a medium-grade miasma-removing talisman was reduced by about one spirit stone.

So, it’s still a big profit.

After selling the anti-miasma talisman in his hand, Shen Lian asked, "Is there any magic weapon that can conceal the breath, preferably one that can cover the face?"

"Yes, Black Cloud Veil, a top-grade auxiliary magical tool that can block spiritual perception."

Shen Lian took a look and saw that it was just a triangular black scarf, which was obviously an auxiliary accessory used by killers who did no-cost business.

After returning to his residence, Shen Lian packed up.

After thinking about it, times are different now.

The ban is far from over, so I can’t rely on buying the skills from Tianxialou.

He planned to go to the auction at Yagu Mountain to see what was going on.

Even if I cannot buy it this time due to insufficient spirit stones, I can at least get a glimpse of the prices of the foundation-building techniques sold in the market town and prepare for future purchases.

Before leaving, he checked his personal equipment and took with him all the wealth he had accumulated in the past two years.

The inside of the Taoist robe, between the legs and on the abdomen, are covered with mind talismans, the legs are covered with walking talismans, and the miasma-removing talismans are hidden under the sleeves.

He changed into a loose black robe, put on a bamboo hat, and wrapped the newly bought triangular scarf around his face.

A disguise talisman was activated, and a little bit of spiritual light fell on Shen Lian.

His body had changed from before, becoming fatter.

Walk--

Yagu Mountain is seventy miles away from the city, and there is not much miasma on the road.

Although the auction would not start for another two days, Shen Lian still set out early to survey the terrain and prepare some necessary means in advance, in order to avoid encountering fellow Taoists who wanted to get close to him and being unable to help them to be reincarnated.
