I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 129 - 37: Visitors from the Central Domain Sacred Land
Chapter 129: Chapter 37: Visitors from the Central Domain Sacred Land
After a moment, Li Jizhou shook his head and stopped thinking about the purpose of the Yu family.
However, he was quite tempted by the mask Yu Ziyu had just worn.
Ordinary Disguise Skills, if the opponent’s Divine Sense is not very different, even if it can’t see the true appearance, can still feel the opponent is using a Secret Skill.
But with the mask Yu Ziyu wore, Li Jizhou couldn’t detect any disguise anomaly; the entire aura was naturally seamless. If not for his lifespan sensitivity feature, he wouldn’t have been able to discern Talisman Master Shen’s anomaly earlier.
It must be a powerful exotic treasure.
This kind of treasure has a great attraction for him.
“Holy Sect? Yan Kingdom?” Li Jizhou gazed into the distance at the Purple Vine Mountain Range spanning the entire northern part of the Qi Kingdom.
The Purple Vine Mountain Range is considered a watershed in the Eastern Desolate Southern Domain.
Further north lies one of Southern Domain’s only two cultivation countries, Yan Kingdom.
Within it, there are three Tier Four Spirit Veins, adjacent to Qinzhou’s cultivation world in the Central Domain, resources are relatively abundant, and because of the century-long chaos of the Demon Dao, now several major superpowers within Yan Kingdom have sealed their sects away from worldly matters, creating little monopoly, with a relatively free market, indeed a dreamland for many unsupported Loose Cultivators in small cultivation countries.
However, below the Foundation Establishment Stage, one cannot expect to safely pass through the Purple Vine Mountain Range.
The deeper one goes, the more Demon Beasts roam free; Tier Three Great Demons were frequently seen, and unlucky Fake Pill cultivators encountering Tier Three Great Demons easily perish.
Yan Kingdom may be a dreamland for other Loose Cultivators, but for Li Jizhou now, it is not a good place.
The highest cultivation within Qi Kingdom is Late Stage of Golden Core, whereas Nascent Soul is the ceiling in Yan Kingdom, which is very dangerous for Li Jizhou.
Putting aside the miscellaneous thinkings and waiting for another half month, Li Jizhou set out again to purchase at Golden Crow Immortal City.
This time, the Immortal City was much less crowded.
This wasn’t an issue with Golden Crow Immortal City, but due to most of Qi Kingdom’s cultivators being drawn to the underground treasure vault of Inverted Mountain in recent years.
Especially two years ago when the second level of the underground treasure vault was breached, revealing a large number of Tier Two materials and treasures, and the third level’s Restriction teetering on collapse, indicating a wealth of Tier Three treasures beckoning to them, even many cautious cultivators couldn’t help but be tempted.
Once the Upper City District was filled with those discussing Dao, now most have gone.
By chance, meeting the Upper City District’s manager Jin Mei, he learned that Talisman Master Shen left with a group of beautiful wives and concubines half a month ago, whereabouts unknown.
Li Jizhou didn’t get involved with other matters, completed his purchases, and returned swiftly.
Three months later, a Tier Two high-grade puppet emerged.
Its realism almost identical to a real person, the bones and fur of Tier Two Demon Beasts processed using special Artifact Refining techniques nearly resemble human skin and hair.
Driven by ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones, its power could match an ordinary Fake Pill.
But its Spirit Stone consumption is somewhat large.
However, if only using it as a substitute for Guagua in Alchemy, one Middle Grade Spirit Stone is enough to sustain it for three to five years.
Freeing Guagua, Li Jizhou casually glanced over the latest seasonal report.
Suddenly, a purchase notice made him pause slightly.
[Large acquisition of Melted Spirit Sand, five hundred Spirit Stones per cubic meter, the more the better!]
Then at a glance at the purchase address: the alliance hall of the Three Sects of Inverted Mountain!
“The people from the Body Refining Sacred Land of Central Domain have come?”
This was Li Jizhou’s first reaction.
Memories from his past life surfaced, with fears about the Body Refining Sacred Land making him slightly serious.
Only refining the body, not cultivating magic, devoid of any Magical Power aura, yet capable of a single punch instantaneously killing his former Foundation Establishment self.
“Eventually they came!”
Early in the Thunder Spirit Crystal Ore outbreak, Li Jizhou predicted that, sooner or later, people from the Sacred Land would be attracted by a vast quantity of Melted Spirit Sand.
It’s just that since the main business range of Celestial Secret Tower was expanding southward into Qinzhou’s cultivation world, it was delayed for so many years.
This was also why he, in the early stage of Qi Cultivation, did not choose to openly purchase in the marketplace back then, but rather went down into the mine personally.
At that time in the early stage of Qi Cultivation, even disguise would be seen through by the present Foundation Establishment cultivators, attracting unnecessary attention.
Yet going to Spirit Pearl Mountain’s marketplace in disguise to acquire a few years ago, wouldn’t be seen through, thus left no latent problems.
However, that incident with the big man selling him fifteen cubic meters of Melted Spirit Sand might have drawn the attention of Body Cultivators from the Sacred Land.
Back then, Li Jizhou acquired it as Tier One Artifact Refining materials, giving the big man only ten Spirit Stones per cubic meter. Now, the other party’s offer of five hundred Spirit Stones would certainly make him angry, potentially talking about it.
Should the Body Cultivators from the Sacred Land become aware of the matter, they would surely investigate thoroughly.
Calmly, he reviewed the details of his purchase of Melted Spirit Sand in the marketplace of Spirit Pearl Mountain from years back.
Li Jizhou was confident he hadn’t left anything traceable to him, and felt assured.
However, he dared not be completely careless.
Immediately took another trip to the Immortal City,
Spending a great fortune to purchase the fastest Tier Two supreme Flying Ship Magical Artifact that a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment could pilot.
Keeping an escape route, being prepared for all eventualities.
In case he had to leave, at least with his current cultivation at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, various trump cards,
A return to his former life’s home of Liang Kingdom would be untroubled.
Back then, the rescue information from Liang Kingdom disappeared, and with the methods available to cultivators within Liang Kingdom, they may not forcibly break the techniques he had established.
The greatest chance from his past life, the Heart-Burning Furnace with seventy-two Inscriptions, should definitely be reclaimed.
Moreover, the most crucial is to confirm the timeline of past and present life.
If the timeline is close, perhaps on this return, he might even be able to see those people.
After purchasing the Flying Ship, Li Jizhou took a trip to Celestial Secret Tower,
To avoid information delay, immediately upgraded the seasonal report to a daily one.
Thus quickly to comprehend the news of the cultivation world in the Qi Kingdom.
As Li Jizhou exited Celestial Secret Tower, unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance he thought he’d never see again in this life.
“Hua Yanshi? Normally, weren’t you taking your young brother to mundane countries?” Seeing Hua Yanshi’s radiant appearance, Li Jizhou felt quite surprised.
“Haha, Pill Master Li, long time no see. This matter is a long story, but it’s all thanks to you!” Hua Yanshi was even more cheerful upon meeting Li Jizhou again.
After a narrative, Li Jizhou slightly raised his brows.
It turned out that years ago, after Hua Yanshi completed all matters at the Immortal City with Hua Tianyang, he returned to the ancestral land of his family to honor the ancestors.
Then unexpectedly discovered that the descendants of the Hua family were determined to rebuild the Hua family,
As a Tier Two Puppet Master, Hua Yanshi was quite wealthy and felt guilt over past events, thus decided to temporarily aid his descendants.
He passed on puppet techniques within the clan and provided financial assistance.
Until a few days ago, when preparing to take Hua Tianyang to a mundane country, he happened upon several individuals claiming to be from the Central Domain Sacred Land,
Discovering Hua Tianyang had a unique constitution that might suit Body Refining.
Physical sublimation, likewise can verify the Dao.
This delighted the Hua brothers immensely.
Yet, Hua Tianyang was already old, missing the best time for Body Refining, the hope of physical verification was slim.
However, as long as there was a ray of hope, Hua Tianyang did not want to give up, immediately pledging to those Body Cultivators for a chance.
Ultimately, Hua Tianyang followed the Sacred Land’s Body Cultivators away.
Hua Yanshi finally released even the last shackle in his heart, intending to stay in the newly established Hua family to offer his little effort, this time coming to procure resources for the family.
Li Jizhou finally understood why when he helped Hua Tianyang heal the Dragon Vein before there was such an unusual feeling,
It turns out that perhaps Hua Tianyang’s childhood aptitude comparable to Celestial Spirit Root wasn’t actually Spirit Root aptitude, but physical aptitude.
Even if the Dantian is destroyed, it doesn’t hinder Body Refining!
This made Li Jizhou sigh at the unpredictability of the world.
Bidding farewell to Hua Yanshi,
Returning once again to Xiaogang Peak, Li Jizhou activated shut-in mode.
Outside normal cultivation, almost all spare time was spent crafting Talismans.
The five sheets of late-stage Tier Two Demon Beast skins obtained from the Rong family, one was used for the shell craftsmanship of the puppet.
The remaining four, he intended to craft into high-grade late-stage Tier Two Talismans.
They would be his trump card against a Fake Pill Master.
