Chapter 375 Tainan Laohui
The mortal world.

Tainan Mountain is a place shrouded in clouds and mist.

Mo Yu, a mortal who had arrived last night, was not in a hurry to climb the mountain.

Instead, he deliberately waited until the sun rose, so that his Yang spiritual root could receive the amplification, before getting up and slowly walking into the mountain.

He hadn't walked far when a mist began to obscure his vision, making it impossible for him to see which way to go.

"An illusion array... that does have some tricks up its sleeve."

Mo Yu, a mortal, was not flustered by this.

Although his skill in Qimen Dunjia was not high, he still had a basic level.

In addition, within the sea of ​​consciousness, there is the central palace determined by Feng Hou Qi Men, which transforms the 4,320 Qi Men formations into the Four Symbols and Constellations, evolving into myriad phenomena.

This maze-like formation, which seems to be a test, is ultimately just a threshold used to verify whether the visitor is a cultivator.

Cracking it isn't particularly difficult.

After walking about two or three kilometers, the view suddenly opened up.

A huge valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides and seemingly untouched by the outside world, appeared before his eyes.

"That's interesting. Just now I clearly felt like I was climbing upwards, but I didn't expect that I was actually being guided by this illusion array to go around in circles and go downwards."

The mortal Mo Yu murmured, glancing back at the path he had come from, which had already vanished.

This illusionary fog array is clearly not fully activated.

Otherwise, with the meager perception and array formation skills of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators, even if those sect disciples came in person, it would be extremely difficult to break the array.

However, he wasn't worried about it.

At worst, I'll just ask a pro to play for me.

When it comes to Qimen Dunjia, the master of the group is a professional, not to mention he just consumed the Myriad Realms Treasury, a huge experience pack.

It possesses all the experience left behind by the three ancestral masters: Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, and Li Chunfeng.

Give him some time to adapt and learn. At least in this human realm, there should be few formations that he can't break.

As the mortal Mo Yu slowly walked across the square in front of the palace.

His youthful and delicate face immediately attracted the attention of many older men around him, who looked at him with a mixture of surprise and scrutiny.

Mo Yu, a mortal, strolled around casually without making a sound, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators who were either setting up stalls on the ground or chatting in twos and threes.

He discovered that, apart from himself, he had only seen a handful of other young people who were not yet of legal age.

The mortal Mo Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself:

"As expected, such a large place as Lanzhou, a well-known trading venue for cultivators, cannot be open only at specific times."

The reason why the Tainan 'Small' Gathering is held only once every five years is probably because it's a special session specifically reserved for young people.

However, this does not mean that these old cultivators in front of us are actually stronger than the junior cultivators who will come to participate in the Tai Nan Small Gathering two years later.

Anyone with the ability to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining would have long since tried various ways to squeeze into major sects or join powerful immortal cultivation clans.

Those who frequent such low-level rogue cultivator gathering places year-round are basically seasoned cultivators with little strength and no background.

With the current cultivation level of the mortal Mo Yu, who has just entered the ninth level of Qi Refining, plus the amplification from the mutated Yang Spiritual Root and the Pure Yang Technique.

The spiritual energy fluctuations he was emitting at this moment were in no way inferior to those of most of the "old men" at the tenth level of Qi Refining present.

For the younger generation, the real danger of these seasoned veterans lies in their wicked hearts.

"Young man, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

Seeing the mortal Mo Yu stop in front of his stall, an old man with white hair and a youthful face immediately put on a kind and benevolent smile.

Mo Yu, a mortal, casually glanced at the stall filled with all sorts of secret manuals.

The basic techniques of the Five Elements are all included.

However, he wasn't as lucky as Han Laomo. The wood-based cultivation technique here wasn't the "Changchun Gong" that he practiced, but a method called "Shangqing Gong".

"How much does a copy of the Five Elements Basic Exercises cost?"

"Five spirit stones for a single copy. However, I think you look kind and agreeable, so I'll sell it to you for four spirit stones."

The white-bearded old man spoke with a smile, displaying a kind and appreciative look towards his junior.

It just goes to show that the younger generation doesn't have as many tricks up their sleeves.

These old guys are all masters of digging holes.

If it weren't for the fact that the mortal Mo Yu had read the original novel and knew the prices, he would have really been fooled by this old geezer.

"I'll take all five. Ten spirit stones."

Mo Yu, a mortal, took out ten spirit stones from his waist pouch and placed them on the old man's stall.

A flash of surprise crossed the old man's eyes, followed by a pained expression as he stroked his beard and said:

“Young man, if you want all five, I can lower the price a bit more. Fifteen spirit stones is already the cost price. Consider it a good deed to establish a karmic connection with you.”

After a struggle.

The mortal Mo Yu still gave fifteen spirit stones.

However, he now possesses three more secret manuals: Basic Alchemy, Basic Weapon Forging, and Basic Talisman Techniques.

Old Deng, who sold the secret manual, watched the young man's departing figure and couldn't help but stroke his beard and sigh:
"What a promising young man! At such a young age, he can already be so shameless and mercenary. He has a bright future ahead of him!"

However, he didn't lose out either.

These are just basic, common cultivation manuals. Anyone who has been in the cultivation world for a while can easily collect a complete set.

It's a basic manual, but it doesn't emphasize preserving any artistic charm in the writing.

Spend a few taels of silver, buy a pile of paper, and copy it yourself; that's all you need to do.

Not far away, Mo Yu, the mortal who had squandered most of his fortune, had already packed up the eight newly acquired secret manuals and stuffed them into the chat group. [War Maniac: Well done. That money was well spent.]

[Mortal: Hehe, I also think it was pretty worth it. It's just... I've used up all my spirit stones...]

This man, who can be considered the financial backer of this operation, has about ten spirit stones in his possession, all of which were taken from Doctor Mo's estate. They are all spirit stones that have been used up.

It was this person who used his own true energy to fill more than a dozen half-empty spirit stones.

[Qin Shi: I just checked the inventory. There are still quite a few scraps left from the previous top-grade dangerous items. See if you can find a place to sell them.]

Faced with the big shot's "greeting," the mortal Mo Yu naturally complied.

Then, he spent the entire morning running around, visiting more than a dozen stalls.

They talked until their throats were dry, and only then did they manage to exchange those materials for a mere ten low-grade spirit stones.

The battle-crazed master who obtained the basic talisman technique casually spent three talismans.

Because the talismanic arts in the mortal world are slightly different, and in the process, he also had to transform his true qi into spiritual energy.

The first three drawings were poorly done, only reaching a low-to-medium grade.

But, even so.

Even among this group of Qi Refining stage rogue cultivators with little foundation, he is still a highly sought-after commodity!
The mortal Mo Yu was sold out as soon as it was put on display.

Three talismans were easily exchanged for thirty spirit stones.
In an instant, the entire chat group fell silent.

Reselling raw materials, especially those from low-level monsters, doesn't really generate much profit.

[Qin Shi: Give me two days! I'll refine all the leftover scraps into magical artifacts!]

Then, because Qin Shi Moyu did not have the advanced technique of converting his true qi into spiritual power.

To support him in crafting magical artifacts, the mortal Mo Yu sent him all the ten spirit stones he had painstakingly earned, along with the spirit stones he had obtained from selling talismans.

Just as the mortal Mo Yu was pondering how to make a move, he had a few low-level and high-level talismans in his hand.

A fragrant breeze wafted by, and two voluptuous, beautifully made-up women in green robes, who bore a striking resemblance, swayed their slender waists and leaned closer.

"Young master, it's almost noon. Why don't you find a quiet place to rest?"

The slightly older sister, Xu Mei, had a charming and alluring voice.

As she spoke, she deliberately pressed her voluptuous body tightly against Mo Yu's arm, revealing a deep, snow-white cleavage through her high-cut collar, showcasing her unfathomable depths.

"I wonder if my sister and I would be so honored as to invite you, sir, to come and have a chat?"

The younger sister, Xu Yan, held a round fan, seemingly wanting to speak but holding back, perfectly covering half of her pretty face, revealing only a pair of watery autumn eyes, full of affection and sending flirtatious glances.

Mo Yu, a mortal, sneered inwardly, but showed no emotion on his face.

He knew all along that with his youthful appearance and the series of frequent transactions he had just made, and with forty spirit stones in his possession, he was definitely being targeted.

Please don't laugh. Although Mo Yu, a mortal, earns money easily, forty spirit stones are no small sum.

The Yellow Maple Valley, one of the seven major immortal cultivation sects in the Yue Kingdom, has a monthly income of only three spirit stones for its low-ranking disciples.

After deducting daily expenses, being able to save ten yuan a year is already considered pretty good.

The spirit stones he acquired were roughly equivalent to the entire savings of an ordinary sect disciple over four to five years.

Even so, these are disciples backed by a sect, unlike those rogue cultivators who barely have enough to eat and can't be easily scammed.

To these rogue cultivators, using spirit stones to buy so many basic cultivation techniques was almost synonymous with being foolish and rich.

This "stupid" doesn't mean that the person is actually foolish.

Rather, it refers to the fact that their values ​​are different from those of these poor, independent cultivators; they are more willing to spend money than ordinary independent cultivators.

Mo Yu, a mortal, looked up at the sky and confirmed that it was noon, when the yang energy was at its peak.

A bright smile immediately appeared on his face as he looked at the two alluring sisters before him:

“Great. I’m new to Lanzhou, so I’d like to ask you two for some advice on the local customs and culture.”

He emphasized the last four words very heavily.

Her restless little hands went even further, climbing up to the full, rounded curves of her buttocks and giving them a careless squeeze, creating waves of movement.

"Hey~"

Xu Mei was surprised by this sudden attack, but instead of being angry, she was delighted.

With a pair of alluring, dreamy eyes, she leaned down and whispered sweet nothings in the ear of the mortal Mo Yu:

"Young master, you may be young, but you have quite the temper. Don't worry, today I will definitely let you 'fully' experience the myriad charms of Lanzhou."

As she spoke, her delicate tongue brushed against his earlobe like a feather.

"Hahaha!"

The mortal Mo Yu laughed loudly, and then, taking advantage of the situation, climbed towards another full moon.

"Whether our little brother is too small or not, we'll only know after the two older sisters try him out for themselves!"

Xu Yan feigned annoyance, struggled symbolically for a moment, then let the thieving hand roam freely over her body, saying sweetly:
"Young master, you have quite the appetite! Not content with just having laid hands on your elder sister, you now wish for me to serve you as well? Be careful, you might not be able to handle it!"

"Hehe, this young master is more than just a big eater!"

"How annoying~ Young master, you're teasing me again..."

Amidst the envious, jealous, or greedy gazes of the surrounding wandering cultivators.

The young man, with his arms around the two voluptuous and alluring women on his left and right, walked towards the exit.

Not far away, the old man who sold him the secret manual watched this scene and sighed softly:
"Alas, no matter how worldly and shrewd he may be, he's still just a child, with the heart of a young man, full of youthful vigor. What a pity, what a pity."

Although it was still early in the day, many people in the market, like the old man, began to quickly pack up their stalls.

It was as if they all wanted to temporarily close their stalls, have lunch, and then come back to continue setting up their stalls.
