Cultivating a family of immortals

A spirit boat slowly landed in Tea Horse Town.

Xu Wanghe and the others stepped off the spirit boat.

Lin Wan did not come today; it was Fang Shouzhuo who protected Xu Wanghe.

After the three paid three low-grade spirit stones, they entered the market.

In the past two years, Xu Wanghe had also come to the market with Fang Shouzhuo and knew about the situation inside.

The shops on both sides of the market belong to the Haoran Immortal Sect and the Chaoyang Immortal Sect.

The stalls in front of the shops were mostly set up by independent cultivators, while the remaining people were disciples of the two sects selling small magical artifacts or pills they had made.

In short, there is a wide variety of items for sale.

Even more extreme are cultivators at the Qi Refining stage who casually craft small magical artifacts, set up stalls, and deceive cultivators of lower cultivation levels.

However, there is one thing to be aware of: whether you are selling things or just strolling around here, you must not cause any trouble.

The payment and goods were settled, and neither party owed the other anything.

Because there was a cultivator at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining guarding this place, no one dared to cause trouble.

As planned, upon arriving at the market town, Xu Wanghe said with a smile:

"Master Fang, come with me to see some spiritual herbs. I also have some spirit stones here; I wonder how many I can buy."

Fang Shouzhou smiled and said, "Alright, Guan Yi, what about you?"

Xu Guan smiled and said, "I'll go look elsewhere to see if there are any suitable small magical artifacts."

Fang Shouzhuo knew perfectly well what was going on.

These small magical artifacts are usually exquisite, resembling ordinary people's ornaments. They do not possess any special means of attack and are generally used as gifts for women.

"You should pick some nice ones."

Xu Guanyi smiled shyly.

The two groups dispersed.

After walking a distance, Xu Guanyi casually found an empty spot, took out a prepared coarse cloth, spread it on the ground, and placed a Qi Condensation Pill on it.

Most of the cultivators coming and going would just glance at the stall and quickly find what they wanted.

Unexpectedly, just as Xu Guanyi finished placing the Qi Condensation Pills, an old Taoist priest's eyes lit up. He walked over and asked with a smile:

"Young man, how much are your Qi Condensation Pills?"

Xu Guan looked up and saw that the old Taoist was dressed in plain clothes, had a goatee, and his aura was refined. His cultivation level was much higher than his own. So he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Senior, although my Qi Condensation Pill is of low grade, it is better than low grade. You can tell by looking at its quality."

The old Taoist priest reached out, picked up the Qi Condensation Pill, and examined it in his hand. He smiled and said, "It's indeed quite good."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Senior, you..."

"Don't panic, I'll buy this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist frowned and let out a muffled groan, barely managing to suppress the effects of the medicine.

"I've been taking too many Qi Refining Pills lately, hence the slight discomfort. How many do you have? How many spirit stones do you want for each pill?"

Xu Guan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that there were no problems.

"Each one sells for...70 spirit stones! There are nine left!"

The old Taoist priest was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Ordinary low-grade Qi Condensation Pills only sell for sixty spirit stones, but yours costs seventy. Alright, seeing that your pills are quite good, I'll take them all."

Xu Guan was overjoyed and quickly stood up to take out all the pills from his storage bag and hand them to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest took the pill and casually asked, "May I ask where you are from, young man?"

Xu Guan smiled slightly, but inwardly he wondered, "Why is this person asking this? Should I conceal my identity or tell the truth?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Guan smiled and said, "I am an inner disciple of the Haoran Immortal Sect."

"So that's how the Vast and Immortal Sect is."

The old Taoist nodded, reached into his robes for his storage bag, then took Xu Guanyi's storage bag and used a spell to transfer the spirit stones into it.

"There are a total of seven hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Please count them."

Xu Guanyi took the storage bag, immersed his divine sense into it, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, thank you, senior."

"I should be thanking you," the old Taoist priest said with a smile as he left.

Xu Guanyi perked up and quickly packed up his stall.

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly.

Qi Condensation Pills are indeed in high demand and short supply.

Xu Guanyi smiled and began to stroll through the market.

After browsing around, it became clear that most of the stalls set up by Xu Guanyi and other independent cultivators sold miscellaneous items and did not contain any cultivation techniques.

After thinking for a moment, he headed toward the shop that Senior Sister Lin Wan had taken him to earlier.

As soon as they entered, they saw the cultivator they had met that day.

This cultivator was also very perceptive; he recognized Xu Guanyi at a glance, knowing he was an inner disciple and had a close relationship with Senior Sister Lin Wan. So he immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Junior Brother has arrived? Is there anything you would like?"

Xu Guan smiled and said, "Junior brother, do you know where I can find excellent cultivation techniques?"

"Cultivation techniques? Are they prepared for members of your family?" The cultivator understood and said with a smile, "Senior brother, you've come to the right place! Our Qingyun Pavilion may not have much else, but we have all kinds of cultivation techniques, from south to north. Whether it's techniques from our sect, those damned Chaoyang Sect, or those from independent cultivators, as long as it's not a hereditary technique, I have it all here!"

Xu Guan raised an eyebrow and said with delight:

"Oh? You have them all?"

"Almost all of them! As you know, junior brother, the sect's inherited cultivation techniques are usually taught to the direct disciples. This is related to the sect's inheritance, so no one dares to sell them for spirit stones. Other cultivation techniques are different. The cultivation methods are generally similar, so selling them is fine."

Xu Guanyi had his own inherited cultivation methods within the sect, but he was unaware of the intricacies of these methods, so he asked out of curiosity:

"What grade are they roughly?"

The cultivator was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that his words had caused a misunderstanding among his junior brother.

"Junior brother, let me put it this way, the cultivation methods here are for cultivation of spiritual roots of three or less, that is, four and five spiritual roots. No matter what the attribute is, metal, wood, water, fire, or wood, water, fire, earth, I can find a suitable cultivation method. In terms of grade, they are all yellow-grade cultivation methods."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Guanyi's eyes.

"How does that compare to our sect's [Five Elements Spirit Guiding Technique]?"

"【Five Elements Spirit Guiding Technique】? Junior Brother, don't you know that even dogs don't practice that technique?" the cultivator retorted.

Seeing that Xu Guanyi's expression was abnormal, the cultivator cleverly smoothed things over.

"However, for families without power, the Five Elements Spirit Guiding Technique is the easiest cultivation method to obtain, which is perfectly normal."

Xu Guanyi shook his head with a wry smile, "As long as it's better than that, that's fine, but..."

Xu Guan thought for a moment and said:

"Although my brother and sister-in-law have spiritual roots, we don't know what kind of spiritual roots they have or how many. If the cultivation techniques they buy don't match the attributes of their spiritual roots, it will only hinder their cultivation."

"In that case, it would be better to temporarily cultivate the [Five Elements Spiritual Energy Induction Technique]. Although the cultivation speed is slow, at least it can absorb enough spiritual energy from the five elements."

Xu Guan smiled and said, "Does the shop have a spirit-testing instrument?"

"A spirit-testing disc? What does Junior Brother need that for?"

As the monk spoke, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
