Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 122 Even Nascent Soul disciples aren't as wealthy as me (Seeking monthly votes)
"You have practiced the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique for one hour, and your experience points for the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique have increased by 9."

"You practiced the Golden Light Thunder spell for two hours, and your Golden Light Thunder (Tier 2) experience points increased by 19."

"You practiced sword control for one hour, and your sword control (second tier) experience points increased by 16."

"You have cultivated the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Second Stage, for one hour. Your experience points for the Demon Blood Body Refining Technique, Second Stage, will increase by 10."

"You practiced Vajra Fist for one hour, and your Vajra Fist (Tier 2) experience points increased by 12."

"You have practiced the second stage of the 'Spirit Forging Visualization Technique' for one hour. Your experience points for the second stage of the 'Spirit Forging Visualization Technique' have increased by 9."

"You practiced Illusion Spell for one hour, and your Illusion Spell (Tier 2) experience points increased by 15."

"You failed to draw a Tier 2 low-grade amulet. Amulet (Tier 2 low-grade) experience points +6."

"You have successfully drawn a Tier 2 low-grade amulet. Amulet (Tier 2 low-grade) experience points +10."

"..."

Since the effects of the second-grade top-quality Divine Essence Pill he took expired, Yang Feng clearly felt that his efficiency in gaining experience points, whether it was cultivating cultivation techniques, practicing spells, or drawing talismans, had decreased by at least two or three times compared to before.

Previously, Yang Feng could gain at least 30 to 40 experience points for every hour he practiced his technique, but now he can only gain about 10 experience points.

At this rate, it would probably take him at least seven or eight years to raise his main cultivation techniques to the proficiency level.

Yang Feng couldn't bear the thought of spending so much time to raise his proficiency in several martial arts techniques to the mastery level.

Therefore, in order to shorten the time, Yang Feng had no choice but to buy another second-grade top-quality Divine Essence Pill.

However, due to Yang Feng's large expenses during this period, he currently has less than 20 million spirit coins left in his savings.

However, in the Xia Kingdom's Ministry of Resources, a single second-tier top-grade Divine Essence Pill is priced as high as 28 million spirit coins.

Yang Feng wanted to buy a second-tier top-grade Divine Essence Pill, but he was still short about ten million spirit coins.

This left Yang Feng somewhat perplexed.

He was torn about whether to spend the next two or three months drawing more talismans and saving up 30 million spirit coins before buying Divine Essence Pills.

He decided to sell some of the unusable first and second-tier magic weapons and rare treasures on the black market to raise 30 million spirit coins to buy Divine Essence Pills.

If you choose to draw talismans, it will take at least two or three months to accumulate 30 million.

Moreover, every month I spend at least four to five million on cultivation, purchasing cultivation resources, and hiring private tutors.

In this situation, even if you save up 30 million, you will still be short of money later.

However, if one chooses to take some first- or second-tier magic weapons and rare treasures that one no longer needs and sell some of them on the black market, one can quickly raise enough money to buy a Divine Essence Pill.

But it involves some risk.

As for borrowing ten million from someone, or taking out a loan from the Immortal Sect, to buy Divine Essence Pills.

Yang Feng hadn't considered it.

After all, whether you borrow money from someone or take out a loan from a bank, you have to pay it back sooner or later.

Moreover, borrowing money from others means owing them favors, and borrowing from banks involves complicated approval processes.

Yang Feng thought that he had now mastered many second-tier spells to the proficiency level, especially the Flame Spell. With the support of the fire seed spirituality in his body, he could exert combat power comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In addition, he recently obtained a second-tier high-grade puppet from the system, whose strength is comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, Yang Feng also obtained a set of second-tier high-grade attack magic weapon of the soul type from the system - the Divine Shadow Needle. Yang Feng nurtured it for several years, and its destructive power can also pose a great threat to cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In addition, Yang Feng recently obtained a high-grade second-tier defensive magic weapon of the soul type from the system.

It can be said that with the methods Yang Feng has mastered, dealing with two or three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would not be a problem.

This gave Yang Feng some confidence, making him believe that with his strength, selling an item worth ten or twenty million on the black market should be enough to protect himself.

Moreover, Yang Feng also possesses a mid-grade second-tier versatile mask, which allows him to change his appearance and identity.

Selling your items on the black market will reduce the risk of being targeted.

After weighing the options in his mind, Yang Feng decided to go to the black market and sell some of the items he no longer needed to get money.

And after making a decision in my heart.

Yang Feng then asked one of the teachers at their academy to get him a pass to enter the underground black market trading area of ​​their Tianlan Immortal City.

Although Yang Feng usually stays at his residence in Tianhe Daoyuan to cultivate most of the time.

However, it wasn't that I had absolutely no contact with some of the teachers at the Taoist academy.

Moreover, he had been living in Tianlan Immortal City for six or seven years. Over the years, he had purchased various cultivation resources from various shops in the city and had come into contact with many people. Therefore, he had long heard of the underground black market trading market in their city.

After obtaining the permit, Yang Feng waited a few days before receiving news of the market opening.

Yang Feng put on a disguise mask in advance, disguising himself as an old man whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Then, following the directions on the pass, they arrived at a lake about 100 kilometers away from Tianlan Immortal City.

According to the pass, this lake is the location for this black market transaction.

Using his divine sense, Yang Feng could vaguely see that the lake in front of him was formed by an illusion array.

Furthermore, a hidden formation was set up inside the illusion array, preventing Yang Feng from seeing the scene inside.

Therefore, Yang Feng did not rush in, but instead concealed his aura and waited patiently nearby for half a day.

It was only after they discovered that a number of Qi Refining Realm cultivators, as well as a few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, were using their passes to enter the illusion array in front of the lake, and that cultivators were also emerging from the lake from time to time.

After observing for a long time and confirming that cultivators could freely enter and exit this black market, Yang Feng held his pass and followed its instructions to a lake shore before stepping into the water.

The next second, his figure disappeared into the lake. When he reappeared, Yang Feng found himself in front of a large flying boat.

"This is a large, third-class airship!"

Yang Feng glanced at the flying boat in front of him and saw that the entire flying boat was hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters high, enough to accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Seeing the scene on the flying boat, which resembled a market with hundreds or even thousands of cultivators setting up stalls or trading, Yang Feng flew onto the flying boat.

After browsing through some stalls on the flying boat, Yang Feng discovered that the items sold at these stalls were all precious resources that could not be bought on the market, or talismans, magic tools, pills, puppets, and so on, made by cultivators themselves.

Among them, first and second-tier pills that can enhance cultivation in terms of law, body, and spirit are very expensive on the black market because purchasing them through official channels in Xia Kingdom requires certain qualifications and authorization. Yang Feng even saw Foundation Establishment Pills for sale, with each pill costing as much as 20 million spirit coins, more than double the price Yang Feng paid from the Xia Kingdom's Ministry of Resources.

And then there are some first and second-tier talismans, pills, magical artifacts, or puppets, etc.

Because selling through the Xia Kingdom's official channels requires paying various taxes, some artisans try to avoid taxes and earn more money.

They would then sell their self-drawn talismans, elixirs, magical artifacts, puppets, etc., on the black market at prices lower than those through official channels.

After learning about the prices of various talismans, magical artifacts, pills, and puppets, Yang Feng didn't want to waste time, so he rented a stall and set up a shop to sell the items he no longer needed.

So he went to a few shops that looked relatively large and planned to sell them the items he no longer needed.

After some haggling, Yang Feng gradually gave away some of the first-tier high-grade items, first-tier top-grade magic weapons, and the second-tier low-grade puppet that he had obtained from the system.

In addition, he sold several large shops in batches, using methods such as changing his appearance and cultivation level, to dozens of second-tier low-grade talismans that he had recently drawn.

Yang Feng only stopped when the total value of the sold items exceeded 15 million. He then changed his appearance again and left the black market as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It's worth mentioning that the dozens of second-tier low-grade talismans he drew were sold to black market shops for nearly 20% more than they were sold to the Xia Kingdom's Ministry of Resources.

"call out……"

As Yang Feng emerged from the black market, he sensed several subtle divine senses sweeping over him.

However, when they sensed the powerful pressure emanating from him, which was that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the other cultivators were so frightened that they quickly withdrew their divine senses.

They were terrified of being targeted by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng, seeing that those cultivators were only at the Qi Refining stage and there wasn't even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, didn't bother with them.

He then rode the escape light back to Tianlan Immortal City.

This is the benefit of having strong cultivation.

Upon returning to Tianlan Immortal City, Yang Feng discovered that his savings had reached over forty million.

So he went to the resource department of Tianlan Immortal City and spent nearly 30 million to buy a second-tier top-grade Divine Essence Pill.

Yang Feng didn't see any second-tier top-grade pills like this being sold on the black market.

After taking the Divine Essence Pill and raising his comprehension to a level comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yang Feng tried cultivating again.

They discovered that the efficiency of gaining experience points was more than double that of cultivating without taking the Divine Essence Pill.

This finally put Yang Feng's mind at ease.

"At this rate, it will only take me three or four years at most to master all three main cultivation techniques and several second-tier spells."

"Not only will my cultivation speed and overall strength increase significantly, but I'll also receive a large amount of second-tier top-grade treasures from the system..."

Based on the amount of experience points he gained each day, Yang Feng estimated it in his mind and secretly looked forward to it.

However, Yang Feng felt a pang of regret when he thought about how he would have to buy a Divine Essence Pill every year to maintain such high cultivation efficiency.

After all, taking one Divine Essence Pill every year costs nearly 30 million spirit coins.

And if you add in the cost of hiring a private coach, and the need to purchase various cultivation and recovery resources during your regular practice, etc.

Yang Feng estimates that these expenses alone would probably cost seventy to eighty million yuan a year.

If one were to purchase elixirs from the Xia Kingdom's Ministry of Resources to enhance spiritual root aptitude, the annual cost would be even greater.

With such a huge expense, let alone ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, Yang Feng estimated that even some True Core cultivators or even Nascent Soul cultivators from aristocratic families might not be able to enjoy such good treatment.

"Alas, it's a pity I'm too old."

"If only I could have transmigrated into a teenager's body back then, broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in my twenties, and gone to the Holy Immortal Academy for further studies like Yang Ningning..."

Yang Feng recalled that his sister had called him a few days ago and told him that at the Holy Immortal Academy, she could not only earn credits but also purchase a certain amount of various precious resources from the academy.

Moreover, during her regular cultivation, she can also seek guidance from True Core Realm cultivators every month for free.

This made Yang Feng extremely envious.

In Yang Feng's view, in the world of cultivation, in order to go further on the path of cultivation, in addition to talent, having a strong network of connections is also very important.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about acquiring some precious natural treasures to improve ourselves.

It is much easier for cultivators with powerful backgrounds than for ordinary cultivators.

Just like buying a Foundation Establishment Pill, in the eyes of a cultivator with a strong network of connections, it might only cost a few million spirit coins, or even nothing at all, to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

But for a cultivator without connections or background, he might not be able to afford it even if he worked hard all his life.

Similarly, the same applies to purchasing various rare and precious materials that enhance one's spiritual root aptitude.

For cultivators like Yang Feng, who lack strong connections and backgrounds, even if they manage to obtain the corresponding status and permissions, it still requires a significant amount of money to purchase high-level resources from the Xia Kingdom's resource department.

However, some cultivators with powerful backgrounds are able to purchase these resources at extremely low prices.

Therefore, even though they both reach the Golden Core realm, Yang Feng estimates that the money and resources he will need to spend in the future will be far more than those cultivators with powerful backgrounds.

Fortunately, Yang Feng can obtain a lot of rewards from the system; otherwise, relying solely on grinding experience points would not have been enough for him to catch up with those cultivators with powerful backgrounds, no matter how hard he tried.

……

Before he knew it, it was time for Yang Feng to schedule an appointment with Master Qingfeng for guidance.

That day, Yang Feng arrived at the manor where Qingfeng Zhenren lived, the magic practice field.

Following Master Qingfeng's instructions, he cast the Golden Light Thunder spell once.

During these two months, Yang Feng also spent money to consult other teachers for guidance.

In addition to the effects of the Divine Essence Pill that Yang Feng took, as well as his own diligent practice.

In just over two months, Jin Guanglei's experience points increased by more than 4,000.

Such great progress naturally surprised even Master Qingfeng, deepening his impression of Yang Feng and making him more diligent in guiding Yang Feng.
