Mortal Cultivation to Immortality: I Have 108,000 Techniques

Among the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, the Hidden Moon Sect is the strongest, followed by the Spirit Beast Mountain Sect.

The remaining five factions are roughly equal in strength.

As for which sect to join?

Zhang Yi had already made his decision; it was naturally Yellow Maple Valley.

The Ascension Order was issued by Yellow Maple Valley.

If Zhang Yi wants to use this item to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, he can only do so by entering Yellow Maple Valley.

Also.

Huangfeng Valley is close to Yuanwu Kingdom and not far from Tianxing Sect Market.

Zhang Yi's visits to the market to purchase materials and ritual implements will be more discreet.

Wan Xiaoshan seems to rarely interact with outsiders.

He didn't care whether it was useful or not, and just blurted out all sorts of things.

Zhang Yi did not interrupt, but occasionally offered guidance, prompting Wan Xiaoshan to say things he did not know.

This made Wan Xiaoshan even more excited, and he kept talking.

The two continued their journey until they arrived at the northern foot of Tainan Mountain, in front of a hillside shrouded in mist all day long.

Wan Xiaoshan, still wanting more, shut up, his eyes shining as he stared at the mist ahead for a long time.

He took out a talisman, made hand seals, chanted incantations, and tossed it into the air.

The talisman transformed into a streak of fire and shot into the mist.

Not long after.

The thick fog suddenly churned and then parted to the sides, revealing a narrow path.

"Brother Zhang, let's go!"

Wan Xiaoshan greeted them excitedly.

Zhang Yi followed behind at a leisurely pace.

A moment later.

As Zhang Yi emerged from the thick fog, his vision cleared.

A valley filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The valley is about a hundred acres in size, with a large number of exquisite pavilions in the center, and many monks in strange clothes coming and going.

In front of them, on the open ground, lay a wide plaza.

It was just like a marketplace in the secular world, filled with stalls.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, and the excitement he felt at officially entering the world of cultivation gradually subsided.

"Brother Zhang, with such a high level of cultivation, you must have brought a lot of good things with you to the Tai Nan Gathering, right?"

Wan Xiaoshan continued, "This is a grand event held only once every five years, specifically for Qi Refining cultivators in Lanzhou."

The Tainan Small Gathering is for lower-level cultivators to exchange information and resources.

The Ascension Ceremony also happened to be held in Lanzhou, making the Tainan Small Meeting particularly lively.

All the Qi Refining stage cultivators in the entire Yue Kingdom are rushing to this place.

Zhang Yi had the remaining pills and over a hundred spirit stones in his hand.

He planned to exchange a few talismans to increase his combat skills.

Most of the talismans obtained from Yan Xue and Yan Han were low-level and low-grade.

There are only three low-level to mid-level talismans, which is obviously not enough.

And that "Corpse Banner".

Zhang Yi had specially fed the banner with the souls of some wild beasts, which greatly changed the aura within it.

Even if Yan Xue were to be resurrected, she wouldn't recognize the origin of this treasure, so he can use it with peace of mind.

With these two superior magical artifacts, and by purchasing some high-level talismans, he would be confident of winning the Ascension Tournament.

"Xiaoshan, you have some nerve! You dared to run out here all by yourself!"

A robust old man's voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

The old man was tall and thin, dressed in a blue scholar's robe, and had a somewhat otherworldly air about him.

However, his face had many bluish patches, which was quite frightening.

"Uncle Qingyan".

Wan Xiaoshan was speaking enthusiastically when he saw the old man and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "I just met Brother Zhang outside the valley; his magical powers are incredibly high!"

The old man also looked at Zhang Yi, a strange look appearing on his face. "Young friend, your cultivation technique is quite extraordinary. You have eleven levels of magical power at such a young age, which is very rare even among cultivation families."

May I ask, young friend, which master have you studied under?

Zhang Yi's expression remained unchanged. "This junior is merely a wandering cultivator in the mountains, without any master or sect."

Master Qingyan nodded slightly, then looked at Wan Xiaoshan and said, "Did you see that?"

When you're out and about, be careful. Don't introduce yourself to just anyone. You should consult with young friend Zhang more often.

"Brother Zhang already said he's a rogue cultivator."

Wan Xiaoshan muttered to himself.

Master Qingyan glared at him, about to reprimand him, but then turned his gaze to Zhang Yi, cupped his hands and smiled, "Young friend Zhang, please don't be offended."

That's just how Xiaoshan is; let him accompany my young friend for a walk in the valley.

Zhang Yi understood that Qingyan Zhenren saw his impressive cultivation level and regarded him as a disciple of a powerful force.

He felt helpless, but didn't explain anything, only humbly saying, "Senior, you flatter me."

Master Qingyan nodded slightly and then instructed Wan Xiaoshan, "The rest of your clan members have arrived. You can take Fellow Daoist Zhang to meet them later."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaoshan's face fell. "Seventh Sister and Ninth Brother wouldn't be here either, would they? I hate their nagging the most."

Master Qingyan said sternly, "Aren't they all doing it for your own good?"

He bowed to Zhang Yi again and then left.

"Let's ignore them for now."

Wan Xiaoshan became interested again. "Brother Zhang, what do you want to buy? I can help you take a look."

Later I will introduce you to a few more fellow cultivators. My ancestor, Wan, was also a cultivator, so we never discriminated against cultivators.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I plan to purchase a few high-level talismans. I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Wan to do that."

Since Master Qingyan regarded him as a disciple of a prominent family, he simply went along with it and accepted this identity.

After he enters Yellow Maple Valley and successfully establishes his foundation, he will need to find materials and pill formulas to refine pills and improve his cultivation.

By then.

The little bit of friendship Zhang Yi had built with the Wan family would come in handy.

A long-standing family of cultivators with profound knowledge and skills must possess pill formulas suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!

Wan Xiaoshan was kind-hearted and naturally unaware of Zhang Yi's scheme.

He felt that Brother Zhang was really patient, willing to listen to him ramble on and on without the slightest impatience.

The two wandered around, looking at each stall one by one.

Most transactions among cultivators use spirit stones as currency, but barter is also common.

The South Pacific Mini-Festival presents a rare trading opportunity.

The items that the monks put out for sale and exchange were indeed quite a few treasures.

Some of them particularly appealed to Zhang Yi.

Just like those stacks of blank talisman paper.

Zhang Yi has mastered many supernatural powers and spells, and has met the basic requirements for refining talismans.

With more practice, he has the opportunity to become a talisman maker!

However, after careful consideration, he quickly dismissed the idea.

The Ascension Ceremony should be the priority now!

Each type of talisman requires extensive practice to master.

No matter how profound Zhang Yi's attainments in magic and supernatural powers were, it was impossible for him to truly embark on the path of talismans in just one month.

Instead of wasting the limited spirit stones on talisman making, it would be better to stick to the original plan and buy a few ready-made high-level talismans.

Zhang Yi remained very calm.

Becoming a talisman maker can certainly bring amazing benefits, but it will also deplete the little spirit stones he has!

He carefully observed the talismans on the stall, occasionally asking Wan Xiaoshan for advice.

The variety of talismans, such as "Thunderfire Talisman," "Fire Dragon Talisman," and "Giant Strength Talisman," is dazzling.

In front of a stall.

"This 'Ice Shield Talisman' has already been used; it'll sell for at most forty spirit stones!"

Wan Xiaoshan argued with the stall owner, his face flushed.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face. Seeing that Wan Xiaoshan looked like a rich young master, he actually made an outrageous demand, asking for one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

Fortunately, Wan Xiaoshan, though simple-minded, was not stupid.

Moreover, because he comes from a prestigious family, he is very familiar with the prices of various talismans and magical artifacts.

With Zhang Yi by his side, a powerful expert at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, he was extremely intimidating!

"Fine! Forty it is!"

The old man waved his hand dismissively.

Wan Xiaoshan immediately picked up the talisman with delight and stuffed it into Zhang Yi's hand.

Zhang Yi flicked his sleeve, and a small pile of spirit stones fell from it.

"Brother Zhang, let's go find another attack talisman."

Wan Xiaoshan seemed to enjoy arguing with others and couldn't wait to make the suggestion.
