After hearing He Shengpei's words and combining them with the letter sent by Xue Yiqing, Han Jieliu understood what was going on.

"In the southern Dianhan Sea, demonic cultivators are heading north, and they will likely have to pass through Linjiang... Judging from the situation, it may still be a demonic disaster at the Foundation Establishment level, which is why Xiaowei Mountain is taking it so seriously."

The so-called demonic cultivators are not those whose cultivation path is any different from that of other cultivators.

Rather, it refers to the lineage of their cultivation, which is mostly the [He Sha] lineage, as well as [Fu Tu], [Xiu Meng], and other lineages that are somewhat associated with demonic paths.

The number of demonic paths is small, and they all belong to a few major lineages.

However, its impact on the cultivation world was profound, including the great war between immortals and demons during the ancient era.

Judging from the outcome, it seems that the orthodox cultivators won the war between immortals and demons, and the demonic path gradually declined and is now in the minority.

"Most demonic cultivators seem to be solitary and independent, but there are also affiliated sects. When they gather in large numbers, they become a demonic calamity for ordinary cultivators..."

"These cultivators came from the sea. I don't know what their purpose is, but demonic cultivators love blood and violence and commit many acts of killing. Their coming here is definitely a bad thing."

Han Jieliu's understanding of demonic cultivators has always come from what he has read in ancient books, but he has never actually seen them. Now he is thinking about the worst possible scenario.

This is a demonic calamity at the Foundation Establishment level. Once it sweeps in, we cannot resist it, we cannot defend Jianzhu Mountain. We may be able to escape, but the Han family will not be able to leave.

Han Jieliu's heart tightened even more, and he slowly asked the question.

"I don't know as much as you do, but I have a letter from an old friend in Xiaowei Mountain, asking me to prepare some magical artifacts that can suppress the blood evil. I'm being extra careful lately."

"That's why we made the guess and prepared in advance... Did the friend mentioned in Manager He's letter explain the reason for the demonic cultivators' northward journey?"

After listening to Han Jieliu's words, He Shengpei pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"My friend did mention some things. It seems that the seal of a certain sect was broken, which allowed the demonic cultivators to escape and head north together."

After these demonic cultivators emerged, they did not scatter but instead converged on Linjiang, which was quite strange.

Han Jieliu couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stopped talking about it and took a sip of tea.

Although He Shengpei was somewhat worried, Zhuolang Pavilion was no longer located in some small Donglu Market, but in Leijun City, where the Hao family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor was stationed. He figured there would be no trouble.

The two stopped discussing the matter and returned to the transaction. He Shengpei took out a small box and said with a smile.

"As for the three paths of cultivation mentioned by Fellow Daoist Han, we do not have any relevant magical artifacts in our pavilion. We do not have any artifacts for the [Pure Qi] path that meet your requirements. However, we do have a magical artifact for the [Fire Virtue] path that may suit your taste."

Inside the box was a small candlestick, covered with a spiritual cloth, through which the jade-white material beneath could be faintly seen.

He Shengpei explained.

"This item is a high-grade magic artifact for refining Qi, called the 'Fixed Light and Nourishing Flame Platform'."

"This candlestick is made entirely of jade and contains a spiritual fire within. It is a top-grade spiritual object called the [Fire of Calming and Dispelling Evil]. Once this candlestick is offered up and magical power is infused into it, a flame will emerge, which can calm the mind, dispel all evil spirits, and burn them away with fire."

"However, the drawback is that it consumes a lot of magical power to activate this platform. It is mostly used to guard the family and harmonize the environment, and it is not good for use in combat. The price is 220 spirit stones."

Han Jieliu looked at the white jade candlestick without saying a word, but he had an idea in his mind.

The biggest drawback of this Light-Stabilizing Flame Platform is that the consumption of mana is not a problem for me, but its characteristics are very effective against demonic cultivators.

If you encounter a demonic cultivator, unfold the Water Palace and let the clay generals delay and surround him.

Then, bring out this candlestick in the hall, dispel the blood demon, and burn it with fire. You can take it down without expending any effort.

"It is indeed a good magical artifact. Even if I don't use it myself, I can use it to guard my home in the future."

But even if you've thought it through, you still need to negotiate the price.

"Although I am now wealthy, I cannot spend a single spirit stone more than necessary," Han Jieliu said immediately.

"That's the item. Shopkeeper, you might be able to get a discount."

"Fellow Daoist Han has done business with my establishment before, so I won't say anything more. You can take it for two hundred spirit stones."

He Shengpei recalled his last business transaction and felt a pang of emotion.

This fellow Daoist Han is truly remarkable; not only did he state the price, but he also asked for several kilograms of spiritual tea before leaving.

Hearing this, Han Jieliu understood that it was all thanks to his bargaining skills last time.

He nodded slightly and pointed out a pile of spirit stones.

He Shengpei took the spirit stones, counted them and found nothing missing. Her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly.

"Fellow Daoist, you have great courage. Be careful when the demonic cultivators enter the county. If you encounter any danger, you can always come to my Zhuolang Pavilion for refuge."

Although there is only one mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator in Zhuolang Pavilion, He Shengpei must have some confidence to say such a thing.

"This reliance must come from the powerful family behind them..."

Han Jieliu nodded, put away the magical artifact in the small box, turned around and immediately took his leave.

After leaving Zhuolang Pavilion, Han Jieliu pondered.

"The cost of the magic artifacts is less than I expected. Next up are a few streams of spiritual water and spiritual energy. These are things that independent cultivators also have. I'll go and inquire about them first."

Han Jie flowed into the crowd of cultivators. This city of Leijun had a unique terrain and a variety of local customs.

There were many cultivators from Fengchui and Donghe County, each with a different aura.

In the northern Fengchui County, there is a Purple Mansion sect called Liaoyuan Sect. It was founded by the Cui family, who were once under the jurisdiction of Xiaowei Mountain. Its main lineage cultivates the Dao of [Benhuo].

He escaped from Xiaowei Mountain in those days, and his Taoist methods are inherited from the past. This path is also passed down from ancient times and is not among the five fires of the new methods of today.

There's no need to elaborate on Tingzi Palace in Donghe County; it belongs to the [Thunder Control] path and has many [Various Thunder] techniques.

But these things have little to do with the clan cultivators and independent cultivators below. After all, they are overjoyed to obtain a cultivation technique that can lead to the Foundation Establishment stage, so they don't care what path it is.

Han Jieliu found a stall with a bottle of "Flowing Breeze and Unrestrained Spirit" on it.

Although it would be convenient to collect this spiritual energy myself, it would require going into the air, and I was afraid that the small black bottle would make too much noise and cause trouble, so I simply bought it directly.

"What is the price of this elegant and unrestrained spirit?"

The most common type of spiritual energy sold on the market is priced fixed, estimated at around forty yuan.

Upon seeing Han Jieliu ask the question, the old man in the early stage of Qi Refining at the stall quickly answered.

"This energy requires forty spirit stones."

Price isn't an issue; with a little more effort, one can easily find the necessary materials for the initiation ceremony...

Han Jieliu nodded, but then suddenly noticed a martial arts manual on the old man's stall called "Yue Fu Asks Chu Scripture," which piqued his interest, so he asked about it.

"Old Master, what's the origin of this cultivation technique you've come across?"
