Chapter 70 Sand Scorpion, Giant Shadow City
In the blink of an eye, three days later, at the hour of Wei (1-3 PM).
Thousands of miles east of Baiquanhu Fangshi, on a vast sea of sand.
A nearly twenty-foot-long azure flying boat was flying past at a height of a thousand feet, moving forward at an extremely fast speed. Many Qi Refining cultivators in the desert would choose to detour or hide in the sand to conceal their figures when they saw it from afar.
At this moment, there were many figures on the deck of the flying boat, chatting and laughing with each other, exchanging cultivation experiences.
"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Gusong had such a profound understanding of alchemy. This discussion has truly been incredibly beneficial!"
Lin Li, standing on the deck, bowed to the middle-aged man, Gu Song Zhenren, who was dressed in a blue robe and had a goatee.
Lin Li hadn't expected that Fellow Daoist Gu Song's alchemy skills were already very close to those of a second-tier lower-level alchemist. After talking with him about some of his alchemy techniques, he gained new insights into many things he hadn't understood before.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you flatter me."
"Fellow Daoist, you are also highly accomplished."
"We both gained something."
"I am quite modest," said Gu Song.
It is indeed extremely difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Master Gusong to advance to the Foundation Establishment realm.
Moreover, he was quite tactful in his dealings with others, always wearing a smile and treating everyone with politeness.
"Haha, if Fellow Daoist Liu and Fellow Daoist Gusong are able to refine second-tier spirit pills in the future, then when Fellow Daoist Zishuang and I go to ask for pills, we'll have to give us a discount!"
Guan Che, who was standing to the side, said with a smile.
At this moment, a woman in yellow who appeared to be around sixteen years old stepped forward and poured spiritual tea for the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.
"nature."
"nature."
Gu Song responded with a cupped-hand salute.
"The little disciple behind Fellow Daoist Guan exudes a more profound aura of poison than before. He has successfully tempered his spirit and his next step should be to attempt Foundation Establishment."
Zi Shuang glanced at the woman in yellow behind Guan Che and said thoughtfully.
"Nothing can escape Fellow Daoist Zishuang's eyes. To be honest, my little disciple possesses a poison-type spiritual body. This time, I went to Shadow Gate Market to see if I could encounter a poison-type Foundation Establishment spiritual object."
Guan Che seemed to make no attempt to conceal the purpose of his trip.
After all, as old neighbors, they had both witnessed their apprentice's growth.
Zi Shuang's cultivation technique was also a poison technique, and so were the younger generation in her cave.
Like Guan Che, Zi Shuang also needed a poison-type Foundation Establishment spirit item for this trip to Yingmen Market.
"Gentlemen, we have a guest."
"Looks like old friends, the second and third leaders of the Sand Scorpion clan. These two old geezers dare to block our path? They're asking for a beating!"
At this moment, Guan Che seemed to sense something. He frowned, stood up, and looked towards the northwest, his tone tinged with killing intent.
After all, there are four fellow cultivators on this flying boat now, and with four against two, they have the advantage no matter what.
Even the Sand Scorpion King, whom they were most wary of, couldn't sense the other party's presence.
On the deck, Lin Li, Gu Song, and the other two sensed two powerful spiritual cultivators of the same level approaching their flying boat at a rapid speed.
Zi Shuang frowned. She was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been a Spirit Scorpion, but she was not on good terms with the native Sand Scorpion clan.
After more than ten breaths.
Two wisps of black smoke-like wind instantly appeared in front of the flying boat, blocking its path.
From the two plumes of black smoke were two burly, bald men with scorpion-shaped lower bodies and thick black plate armor on their upper bodies. Their exposed arms and faces had dark blue stripes on them.
Both of them exuded a thick aura of ferocity. After glancing at the figures on the flying boat, the two early Foundation Establishment stage Sand Scorpions revealed a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Huh!?"
"It's quite lively here, there are actually four fellow Daoists here."
One of the Sand Scorpion's second-in-commands, who had a deep red bloodstain on his forehead, spoke in a slightly solemn tone.
"Fellow Daoists, please calm down. We are not here to fight."
"I was thinking of making a trade with some fellow Daoists. If you can exchange one of the spiritual pills mentioned on this jade slip from the Shadow Gate Market this time..."
"Our Sand Scorpion clan can exchange it for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item."
After the second-in-command of the Sand Scorpion Clan finished speaking, a ball of deep blue spiritual liquid, about the size of an apple, appeared on his right hand. The crystal-clear spiritual liquid emitted an extremely pure spiritual energy fluctuation.
This item was collected from the countless sand scorpions of their clan, who painstakingly extracted and refined the evil energy within their bodies for over a hundred years to gather even one portion.
This is also why their Sand Scorpion clan's Foundation Establishment spiritual cultivation tradition has been passed down continuously.
However, their eldest brother is now seriously injured.
Without the aid of medicinal pills to heal the wounds, it would be difficult to recover completely, and the chances of breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in the future would become even slimmer.
When the second-in-command of the Sand Scorpion Clan took out the Netherworld Spirit Liquid, both Zi Shuang and Guan Che felt a ripple in their hearts. They both needed a poison-type Foundation Establishment spiritual item.
"Fellow Daoists, farewell."
After saying this, the second and third leaders of the Sand Scorpion Clan quickly rode two gusts of demonic wind and sped away from the flying boat, their escape speed even faster than when they arrived.
After this brief incident, Guan Che continued to steer the flying boat towards Shadow Gate Market.
on the deck.
Lin Li took one of the jade slips and brought it to his front. As usual, after confirming that there were no extra restrictions on the jade slip, he released a wisp of divine sense to probe into it.
Inside the jade slip.
There are five kinds of pills, all of which are mid-tier second-order spiritual pills. Each one is quite valuable, and the amount of spirit stones required is not small.
There's no need for a multitude of poison-type Foundation Establishment spirit beasts, but Zi Shuang and Guan Che will definitely keep an eye out for them.
After flying through the night for three days,
They had just arrived at the location of Shadow Gate Market, Giant Shadow City.
This city is built on a branch of a third-order spiritual vein, and many cultivation caves with third-order spiritual energy environments have been opened up within it.
Most of the cultivators in Giant Shadow City are disciples of the Thousand Shadows Pavilion's own sect, as well as some Foundation Establishment forces affiliated with the Thousand Shadows Pavilion, who are also placed in Giant Shadow City for cultivation.
Generally speaking, the city gates are only opened during the once-a-decade auction, and no spirit stones are collected from cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage to enter the city.
Although the Yingmen Market is open to the public at other times.
However, cultivators who are not from Thousand Shadows Pavilion and its affiliated forces have to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones each time they enter the city. Moreover, for non-Thousand Shadows Pavilion disciples, the prices of various spirit talismans and pills sold in the shops are several times higher.
at this time.
Looking out from the deck, the walls of Giant Shadow City are made up of ancient trees, each nearly a hundred feet tall, arranged side by side, creating an astonishing sight.
Amidst the lush foliage, flocks of sparrows fluttered about.
Many beams of light darted back and forth among the treetops, and one could vaguely see what appeared to be some wooden houses built on the branches.
Outside the city was a moat several hundred feet wide. Even within a few miles, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the flying boat could feel an extremely strong suppressive force of the formation.
"Fellow Daoists, we have arrived."
"Then please make yourselves at home. We will meet at the Drunken Immortal Wine Shop in the city a month from now."
Guan Che floated into the air on the deck, formed a hand seal, and the flying boat beneath his feet quickly shrank and was put away.
"it is good."
After Lin Li nodded in response, he and the other figures behind him transformed into streaks of light of various colors and flew towards Giant Shadow City.
