Chapter 155 The Egoist (Please Subscribe!)

"I have the Ascension Order in my hand."

"It's just right that I can join the Yellow Maple Valley through the Ascension Conference."

With Yang Chen's five spiritual roots, it is impossible for him to join a sect of immortal cultivation, so he can only pass the Ascension Order.

This way, there is no need to choose.

The only sect he could join was Huangfeng Valley.

"Joining the Yellow Maple Valley has its advantages. At least I'm familiar with the situation in the Yellow Maple Valley. I've already fallen into all the traps that Han Li in "Mortal" was about to fall into..."

After Yang Chen arrived at Tainan Mountain, he learned from the villagers that there was a mysterious slope on the north side of Tainan Mountain that was shrouded in thick fog all year round.

Anyone who enters this strange slope will lose their way. This place is related to immortal cultivators and is where Tainan Valley is located.

"Brother Yang, are you also here to attend the Tainan gathering?"

In the small village where he was staying, Yang Chen met Wan Xiaoshan.

Wan Xiaoshan took the initiative to invite Yang Chen to go to Tainan Valley together. Yang Chen knew this person's background and decided to go with him.

Wan Xiaoshan just thought that Yang Chen was a casual cultivator who knew nothing, and smiled as he shared some common sense about the world of cultivation with him.

For example, the realm of immortal cultivators is divided into the following levels: the lower levels include Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Dan Formation, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation.

The middle realms include Lianxu, Heti, and Mahayana;
The higher realm is to transcend tribulation.

Lifespan is closely related to realm.

In addition, Wan Xiaoshan also kindly told Yang Chen that there are seven major sects of immortal cultivation in Yue Kingdom, such as Yanyue Sect, Huangfeng Valley, etc.

As well as relevant information about the immortal cultivation family and spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots are divided into five elements, and there are distinctions such as "pseudo spiritual roots", "true spiritual roots", "heavenly roots", and "mutated spiritual roots".

Moreover, spiritual roots are likely to appear in blood inheritance, thus forming a cultivation family and a semi-monopolistic cultivation class.

Yang Chen already knew all these things by heart.

"We've arrived at Tainan Valley!"

Wan Xiaoshan and Yang Chen arrived at the strange slope.

Wan Xiaoshan used a communication note to notify the support in the valley.

While waiting, Wan Xiaoshan introduced that the Tainan Small Meeting is a trading event held every five years specifically for the younger generation of Lanzhou.

This trade fair will have more participants because Lanzhou will hold the Ascension Conference in a month, and the number of participants will be even greater.

Wan Xiaoshan asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what items do you plan to trade at the Tainan Fair?"

To be honest, he couldn't quite see through Yang Chen.

This is also the reason why he is so enthusiastic about Yang Chen.

"just looking around."

Yang Chen smiled and said that he had not prepared any special items for trading. Then the fog parted and the two entered Tainan Valley.

Tainan Valley is full of exotic flowers and plants, with a palace-like pavilion in the center. In the square in front of the pavilion, cultivators set up stalls to trade.

"Master Qingyan, this is Yang Beichen."

Wan Xiaoshan introduced Yang Chen to True Man Qingyan, who was a close friend of Wan Xiaoshan's father.

This Tainan small meeting was hosted by True Man Qingyan and several other seniors.

"At such a young age, he has already mastered the wood-attributed technique to the eighth level. His future is limitless!"

True Man Qingyan smiled and praised.

Afterwards, the two separated temporarily because Wan Xiaoshan's family was looking for them. Yang Chen observed that the square was full of young cultivators and realized that older people generally did not participate.

"Would you like to join my team?"

Yang Chen was invited by Taoist Qingwen and other independent cultivators to join the group so that they could look after each other at the Tainan Conference.

Taoist Qingwen introduced the group members.

Including the brothers Hei Mu and Hei Jin, Hong Lian San Ren, Master Ku Sang, Hu Ping Gu and Xiong Dali couple.

Yang Chen is not interested in joining any group.

Taoist Qingwen thought it was a pity, but still gave Yang Chen a talisman, telling him the location and usage of the small building where his group was staying, and introduced the trading methods of Tainan Club (barter and trading with spirit stones) and some taboos and conventions.

"If fellow Taoist is interested in joining, you can bring this talisman to find me in the small building." Taoist Qingwen said with a smile.

Yang Chen watched him leave.

"I don't have any spirit stones."

Spirit stones are stones full of spiritual energy. There are four grades with various properties. They play an important role in the cultivation, formation, and casting of spells by cultivators, and are the circulating currency in the world of immortal cultivation.

Yang Chen saw various talismans and talisman papers on the stall. Although he was tempted, he lacked spirit stones and exchangeable items.

Later, he found someone selling the "Flying Talisman", which was quite effective and could be exchanged for elixirs such as those for strengthening the essence and nourishing the body.

Yang Chen used the "Yellow Dragon Pill" and "Golden Marrow Pill" to trade with the stall owner, and finally successfully exchanged them for the "Flying Talisman", a dozen talisman papers and an old book that recorded basic spells.

"After the Tainan Conference, there are often wandering cultivators disappearing!"

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to join us and go to Tianwutai to participate in the Ascension Conference?"

Someone saw Yang Chen's generosity and said with a smile.

Yang Chen refused with a smile.

Everyone really treats him as a fat sheep.

Although he was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, if they really came to blows, even if he was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, he would not be Yang Chen's match.

The man was rejected but didn't take it seriously. Seeing that Yang Chen was a stranger, he thought that he didn't know anything about the Ascension Conference.

So, he introduced him to Yang Chen with a smile.

"You may not know, fellow Daoist, that the Immortal Ascension Conference is a grand event held every ten years in the Yue Kingdom. Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage compete in a competition for the chance to join the seven major sects and obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

As he spoke, the man also introduced the entry requirements, procedures, and intensity of the competition in the Ascension Conference.

Unfortunately, even after he had talked himself into submission, Yang Chen still refused, and the man had no choice but to retreat.

Yang Chen lightly touched the bottles of pills in his arms.

Thinking of exchanging medicine for other things, I planned to exchange them for some more items.

As we walked along, our eyes wandered around, and we were dazzled by the dazzling array of materials, talismans, and strange magical instruments on the stalls.

Suddenly, Yang Chen stopped in front of a stall and stared at a thin book with a price tag:

"Eternal Spring Skill, a basic wood-attributed cultivation technique, worth two low-level spirit stones."

My Qingdi Muhuang Gong has not yet fully transformed into a mortal cultivation system, and needs the reference of Changchun Gong.

Yang Chen leaned over to take the book, flipped through a few pages, and after confirming that it was Changchun Gong, he looked up and said calmly:
"I want this book."

"Two spiritual stones!"

A clear female voice came, Yang Chen looked up and saw that the stall owner was a sweet girl. Could it be Han Yunzhi?

A name flashed through Yang Chen's mind.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

The young man asked, "Is there anything missing from the book?"

The girl answered generously:

"The techniques from the first to the thirteenth level are complete and intact."

Yang Chen nodded, flipped through a few more pages, closed the book, and asked directly:
"Can I exchange it for a pill?" "It depends on what kind of pill it is."

The girl was slightly startled, her eyes wide open:
"The medicine for healing is not valuable."

Yang Chen's mind moved, and he took out a bottle of "Yellow Dragon Pill":
"This pill strengthens the essence and strengthens the foundation, and can improve the magic power."

The girl's expression changed slightly, and she leaned closer to smell the medicine carefully.

Yang Chen was standing on a high vantage point, and when he saw her jade neck and smelled her elegant body fragrance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Immortal cultivators are indeed different from ordinary women.

Everyone loves beauty, and Yang Chen is no exception. However, for him, the pursuit of eternal life is more important than anything else.

He is a complete egoist.

He appreciates beauty, but it is difficult for him to be distracted by it. Of course, if beauty can bring him enough benefits, he doesn't mind playing with it.

After a moment, the girl said in surprise:
"It's truly a elixir for improving your magical powers! If you still have any, you can take your pick from my stall, and I'll even buy you some spirit stones."

After saying this, he tightly grasped the medicine bottle, his eyes burning.

Seeing her eagerness, Yang Chen smiled secretly and said:

"Miss, please be patient. Let's complete this transaction first."

The girl suddenly realized and blushed:
"Excuse me. This book and two of these medicines will do."

The price was fair. After Yang Chen accepted it, he glanced towards the stall and saw a small gray cloth bag.

Yang Chen picked up the cloth bag, and the girl said hurriedly:
"You have a good eye, this is a seed of Seven Star Grass. Seven Star Grass that is over ten years old is the best for making talisman paper."

Yang Chen picked up the cloth bag and placed it in front of him.

He looked at the stall again and said:
"I don't need anything else."

"This transaction ends here."

The girl was unwilling and recommended:

"The Ice Talisman is powerful, and the Rejuvenation Talisman can restore physical strength..."

Yang Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute and naive look.

The girl asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I want to buy cinnabar and a talisman pen."

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said frankly:
"Unfortunately, the girl doesn't have it here."

The girl frowned, pondered for a moment, and said resolutely:
"I don't have cinnabar, but I have a fine talisman pen made from the hair of a golden-eyed ape's neck. It's just expensive. I wonder if the elixir is enough?"

Sure enough, this girl is Han Yunzhi...

Yang Chen finally confirmed it and replied with a smile:

"If the talisman pen is good, there will be enough pills."

The girl smiled in relief, took out the talisman, drew it in the air, and threw it into the air. It disappeared in flames.
"My brother will send the foreshadowing immediately. Please wait a moment."

"It's okay, good things are worth waiting for."

Yang Chen smiled.

After that, the two were silent and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.

Yang Chen is handsome and has unparalleled temperament. It can be said that he is exactly the ideal Taoist partner that the girl has always dreamed of.

The boy was intoxicated by the girl's fragrance.

The girl lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her neck.

"younger sister!"

A loud shout broke the silence, and Yang Chen looked back.

A burly giant came running over, knocking over many cultivators along the way. The girl looked helpless when she saw this.

The giant man rushed over and handed a long, thin wooden box to the girl.

The girl handed the wooden box to Yang Chen and gestured for him to open it.

Yang Chen glanced at the girl, opened the lid, and saw a golden pen. The girl introduced it to him:

"This is a golden brush.

The tip of the pen is made of golden-eyed ape neck hair, and the pen holder is made of gold essence and black iron, and it was refined by a foundation-building monk for three days."

After saying this, he looked reluctant.

Yang Chen stroked the pen gently, saw the words "Jin Zhu", and asked:
"Miss, are you really willing to exchange this rare treasure?"

The girl hesitated for a moment and explained the reason:
“This pen is a relic from my ancestors.

But my brother and I have no talent for making talismans, and my brother needs elixirs to help him break through his bottleneck and participate in the Ascension Conference."

Yang Chen took the golden pen.

He exchanged three bottles of "Huanglong Dan" and four bottles of "Jin Sui Wan" for this treasure and the seeds of Seven Star Grass, and also bought cinnabar. He happily set out on the journey back to the building, intending to start the business of drawing talismans.

Return to your residence.

Yang Chen tried to draw a calming talisman, but failed many times.

"I didn't expect my talent for talisman making was so poor!"

Yang Chen was helpless. It seemed that all his talents and understanding were focused on cultivation, and he knew nothing about other aspects.

“In fact, people like me are the norm.”

"In the world of immortal cultivation, the difficulty of making talismans and the high cost of training talisman makers are self-evident."

Although Yang Chen failed in his attempt to make the talisman, he was not discouraged.

As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent. Having a small green bottle is equivalent to having unlimited resources, and you can pile them up to develop talent.

Just like Han Li in "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", why does he seem to be omnipotent? In addition to his own talents, doesn't he also have the opportunity of unlimited trial and error with the little green bottle?

"Now, I can only give up making talismans temporarily."

"I have to improve my cultivation first!"

Yang Chen made plans.

After that, he practiced Changchun Gong during the day and practiced new spells at night, and finally succeeded in breaking through to the ninth level!
"My five spiritual roots are really rubbish. I've been taking so many pills, but I'm only at the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Yang Chen was simply too exhausted to complain.

His five spiritual roots are extremely weak.

If there were no little green bottle, Yang Chen would not know how to cultivate immortality. The five spiritual roots were really rubbish in the early stage!

In the later stages, there is an additional benefit of not having to gather spiritual roots to cultivate the Yuanci Divine Light to advance to the God Transformation stage or the Refining Void stage.

But then again.

How many people with five spiritual roots can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, obtain the Yuanci Divine Light, and cultivate to the Refining Void stage?
The four stages of foundation building, elixir formation, Nascent Soul, and spirit transformation have long blocked the five spiritual roots. Do you want to break through to the realm of refining emptiness?
Unless he is the most destined child among all the destined children!
"Ninth level of Qi Refining is not bad."

"Han Li is probably only at the third level of Qi Refining right now."

Yang Chen comforted himself silently.

He could vaguely feel that the elixirs were not taken in vain, and the spiritual medicines from the world of Zhatian and other worlds were slowly improving his physique!

Perhaps as his realm improves...

A useless body with five spiritual roots may one day become a five-element holy spirit root, or maybe even an immortal spiritual root!
"Not only that, the five spiritual roots have all five elements, and are naturally suitable for practicing the Great Five Elements Technique. If I had a wood-attributed spiritual root, I could only practice the Green Emperor Wood Emperor Technique!"
