Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 191 Arrival at the Underground City

Lightning bead?
Lin Chen's heart moved slightly.

The lightning-attracting bead is a special magic weapon that can weaken the thunder tribulation to a certain extent, while purifying the pure energy in the thunder tribulation.

The pure energy is used to refine the body and soul of the monks. The principle is completely different from that of lightning rods.

If used during a thunderstorm, it would indeed be a significant help.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked:
"Fellow Daoist, how many spirit stones does this lightning bead cost?"

"One hundred thousand spirit stones for one." Xie Huaying interrupted at this time, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Chen.

"My fellow Taoist, you look familiar. Have we met before?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked and said, "Girl, your way of chatting up girls is a bit old-fashioned."

"Ah?" Xie Huaying was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face blushed and she said no more.

She really felt that Lin Chen's eyebrows looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

But after being interrupted by Lin Chen, she had no time to ask.

Lin Chen took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it over.

"Here are one million spirit stones. Give me ten."

After hearing this, Xie Huaying nodded and handed over a jade box containing ten lightning-attracting beads.

"This lightning bead is usually placed in the jade box, don't take it out easily."

"When the thunder tribulation comes, consuming the lightning beads can purify the thunder tribulation's body-tempering effect..."

Xie Huaying gave a reminder, and then handed over a black jade pendant.

"My fellow Daoist has considerable financial resources. If you want to purchase rare resources in the black markets of Didao and Tiandao City in the future, you can show this jade pendant."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, took the jade pendant, and turned to leave.

After saying hello to Xie Huaying, Yang Caier left with Lin Chen.

While walking on the road, Lin Chen asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Cai'er, how did you know about this black market?"

Yang Caier thought for a moment and said:
"In fact, the guides in the city know something about this black market. It's no secret..."

"And I like to come to this sweet water shop to drink honey water... I got to know Sister Hua after a few visits."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. Yang Caier’s words deepened his guess.

"Senior Zhou, it's still early now. How about I take you to the upper city for a stroll?" Yang Caier volunteered.

Lin Chen nodded, and rode his flying sword to take Yang Caier to the upper city.

……

By the evening, Lin Chen had roughly figured out the upper city area.

"Senior Zhou, it's getting late today... If you have any questions in the future, you can always come to me."

Yang Caier stretched out her right hand, revealing a white ring on her finger.

"Senior, the residence certificate of Humane City also has the effect of transmitting sound. As long as you are within a hundred miles of the city, it can be used, similar to the sound transmission jade slip."

"Cai'er's is a temporary residence certificate. I used 100 spirit stones to upgrade the communication function. But your permanent residence permit has this function directly."

As she spoke, Yang Caier touched Lin Chen's black ring with her ring.

Sure enough, Lin Chen sensed that there was an extra node in the ring that could be contacted at any time.

Lin Chen was amazed when he saw this. In the Righteous Alliance, even cultivators in the late stage of foundation building might not be able to afford communication jade slips.

But in this humanitarian city, it seems that communication has become a means of communication for the public.

"However, this ring communication is issued by Humane City after all...it might be secretly monitored."

"Some basic information can be exchanged, but confidential information must not be transmitted through the ring."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Then he took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Yang Caier.

"Thank you for what you did today. I'll come back to you if I need anything later."

Yang Caier took the bag of spirit stones, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Senior, this...this is too many spirit stones!"

"Cai'er doesn't need so much..."

The bag of spirit stones that Lin Chen gave to Yang Caier contained exactly 10,000 spirit stones.

It was enough for her to obtain permanent residency in Humane City.

Just leading the way is naturally not worth so many spirit stones.

But the medicinal materials for the three sets of Infant Refining Pills helped Lin Chen a lot and were worth ten thousand spirit stones.

Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"Please keep it. If I need anything later, I may have to trouble you..."

After saying that, Lin Chen turned into a streak of light and disappeared on the spot.

……

In the evening, Lin Chen returned to the inn alone.

After setting up a formation to isolate spiritual consciousness, Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

"10:56."

There are less than 11 hours left before we return to Blue Planet.

Lin Chen took out the resources he purchased today.

In addition to the medicinal herbs and lightning beads for refining the Infant Refining Pill, Lin Chen also bought a lot of other medicinal herbs and equipment.

The raw materials in the Humane City are undoubtedly of much higher quality than those from the Righteous Alliance.

Lin Chen could even buy a lot of high-end equipment for making treasures.

Of course, the price is also very expensive...

"Guangyuan Town and Changchun Mountain Market are only 800 miles apart, but there is a price difference..."

“And the distance to Humanity City is nearly 100,000 miles, which is an insurmountable distance for Qi Refining or even Foundation Building cultivators… Only Golden Core cultivators can possibly reach Humanity City from Yanlai Country…”

Lin Chen shook his head. It took him ten days to get from Yanlai Realm to Rendao City, because his speed was fast enough.

But for a foundation-building cultivator, this time would be extended to a year or even several years...

It was so far away, and there were many dangers along the way. Lin Chen alone encountered several groups of robber cultivators.

Therefore, it is unlikely that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can come to Humanity City, let alone a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage...

As for Wendao City, it is still more than 100,000 miles away from Rendao City...even farther away.

Only some large chambers of commerce, such as the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, would travel across mountains and rivers to conduct transactions in Qingzhou.

"Well, it's rare for me to travel so far this time, so I should buy some more medicinal herbs, exercises, etc..."

Lin Chen touched his chin. Behind him, an entire high-level martial arts world was crying out for food, waiting for him to bring back valuable resources.

However, it is better to go back and ask the think tank about what specific ones you need to buy.

“It would be best to bring the herbs for the Infant-Forging Pill back to Blue Star for cultivation. If all goes well… we’ll be able to get a lot of Infant Peach Fruits and Heart-Shou Grass in a few years, which will be just in time for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.”

Lin Chen thought silently.

This time he went out to conceive a baby, and he needed to prepare a lot.

The Infant-Forging Pill and the Lightning-Attracting Pearl have been found, so the next step is to look for the Thunder-Avoiding Pill.

In addition, the more elixirs and magical tools such as calamity shields that can help one overcome mental tribulations, the better.

"I still have eight million spirit stones on hand, but I don't know if they are enough..."

Lin Chen put all the supplies into the nano bag and waited quietly for the time of crossing to come.

……

Daxia Kingdom, Martial Arts Palace.

After Lin Chen returned, he handed the supplies to Wang Lishan, and then asked him to prepare a list, which was roughly the supplies that the country needed to purchase.

After he returned to the world of immortal cultivation, he could just make some large purchases along the way.

After doing all this, Lin Chen went into the alchemy room.

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and a ball of green liquid split into dozens of strands and entered the alchemy furnace.

Then he added many auxiliary medicines and started to refine the elixir...

An hour later, hundreds of round pills flew out.

Lin Chen picked and chose, and selected more than a dozen top-quality chalcedony qi-boosting pills.

"Yes, on average, ten kilograms of jade can produce hundreds of jade tonic pills..."

"The temperature and timing of the instrument have been adjusted to the best. It's just that the yield is still a little low."

Lin Chen nodded slightly and put away the top-grade jade marrow qi-boosting pill.

He will naturally give priority to those with good quality.

The remaining Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Pills were also very valuable and beneficial to cultivation. They were left for the highly gifted cultivators of the Great Xia Kingdom to take.

After refining pills for three full days, Lin Chen was able to control the rate of high-quality pills to about 10%.

He refined hundreds of top-grade chalcedony qi-boosting pills and kept them for later use.

This can help him break through to the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir faster.

Afterwards, Lin Chen spent another three days refining hundreds of chalcedony bone-tempering pills.

After refining the two kinds of elixirs, Lin Chen gave the elixirs to the country and asked them to help test the effects of the two kinds of elixirs.

In Lin Chen's opinion, the Jade Marrow Bone Tempering Pill is definitely a martial arts treasure that is no less precious than the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

However, further experiments are needed to determine the specific effect.

……

Soon, a month passed.

Lin Chen stayed in the Humane City for a full month and obtained the pass to the Underground City.

During this period, Lin Chen saw many monks from the Demon Subduing Temple in the Upper City, but unfortunately he did not see Li Tianhan.

On this day, Lin Chen felt that it was time to move on to the next checkpoint, so after saying hello to Yang Caier, he left Rendao City.

Having stayed in this city for only one month, Lin Chen did not have too many concerns and did not even make any new friends.

He just purchased a lot of medicinal herbs and refining materials, spending nearly one million spirit stones.

After doing all this, Lin Chen flew towards the underground city.

Another three days passed, and Lin Chen flew over 30,000 miles and finally arrived at the underground city.

The layout and rules of the three cities are roughly similar.

The Underground City is also divided into two urban areas, the upper and lower urban areas. Lin Chen spent 10,000 spirit stones to buy a permanent residence permit for the Underground City.

First, he obtained the pass to Tiandao City, and then Lin Chen went to the black market in the lower city.

After showing the jade pendant, Lin Chen successfully met the person in charge of the black market in Didao City.

"My fellow Taoist, what would you like to buy?" asked the person in charge.

Lin Chen got straight to the point and said, "Do you have the Thunder God Pill, the spiritual shield needed to survive the thunder tribulation?"

The thing Lin Chen wanted to buy was too distinctive. The person in charge looked at Lin Chen deeply and said:
"Yes, an ordinary Lightning-Proofing Pill costs 500,000 Spiritual Stones, and a mid-grade one costs 1,0 ... Spiritual Stones..."

"As for the spirit shield, it depends on its power, ranging from 100,000 to 1 million spirit stones."

After hearing this, Lin Chen smacked his lips. The price of forming a baby was really too high.

Not to mention anything else, just preparing the most basic Infant-Forging Pills, Thunder-Proof Pills, magic weapons, etc. would require at least millions of spirit stones.

Regardless of whether the infant formation is successful or not, millions of spirit stones will be wasted. How can an ordinary Jindan cultivator afford it?

However... Lin Chen could just buy the herbs and make them himself.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said:

"Do you have the medicinal materials for refining the Thunder Avoidance Pill?"

After hearing this, the man nodded and took out two purple spiritual herbs.

"Thunder Spirit Grass, one plant costs 100,000 Spirit Stones..."
