Chapter 343 Auditory Hallucinations
Chapter 343 Auditory Hallucinations
It is said that Tianhuo Fairy City got its name from a huge ball of fire that fell from the sky one year and created a huge pit here. It is one of the three fairy cities on Jinbo Island.
Tianhuo Xiancheng was founded by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who called himself Tianhuo Shangren. He had thousands of cultivators under his tutelage and was a major force on Jinbo Island.
Duan Renjie has lived in Tianhuo Xiancheng for many years, so the shops in the city that he is familiar with will not give him cheaper prices.
It is basically safe once you get on the island. Although the people on the island are in a state of disarray, the strongest monks on the island have formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
That is, people are not allowed to rob and kill each other at will on the island, otherwise they will be hunted down by several major forces on the island.
Duan Renjie sneaked all the way back to Tianhuo Immortal City and went straight to the spiritual material shop he was familiar with.
It is not safe to carry so many treasures on your body. You need to get rid of them as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, it's been a while since we last met..."
The shop owner is a middle-aged cultivator who is in the late stage of foundation building.
"Shopkeeper Wang, we went a bit further out to sea this time and gained quite a bit. This time, you'll have to raise the price for me..."
"That's fine, as long as the stuff is good..."
Duan Renjie took off all three storage bags on the left side of his waist and handed them to Manager Wang.
These three storage bags contain certain parts of the sirens, including first- and second-level sirens.
As for the third-level siren, its cultivation level is comparable to Duan Renjie's, and he is not yet sure he can kill a third-level siren alone.
The higher the level of the siren, the higher the price of the spiritual materials on it, so most of the spiritual materials inside are from level 2 sirens.
"Look, Fellow Daoist Duan, this pair of pliers is worth two hundred spirit stones, this pair of shark fins is worth one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and this sea monster gallbladder is of a lower quality, so fifty spirit stones..."
Shopkeeper Wang would quote the same price to Duan Renjie for every item he took out.
Duan Renjie is familiar with these prices. They cannot be said to be the highest prices in the market, but they are one or two cents higher than those in ordinary stores.
There are dozens of scattered spiritual materials, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, after being converted into medium-grade spiritual stones, there are only about four or five hundred.
There is no way. As the old saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. On this island, there are many sources of spiritual materials from the sirens, and they really cannot be sold at a high price.
Although Duan Renjie was born in Tianzhen Temple, he did not have a fire-attributed spiritual root and had never learned alchemy. He only learned his master's winemaking technique, but it could not be exchanged for many spirit stones.
Without any skills, if one wants to raise resources for cultivation on his own, he can only risk going out to sea, sleeping in the open for two months, and only get a few hundred medium-grade spirit stones in return.
However, Duan Renjie was already very satisfied and recalled the time when he was in Tianzhen Temple.
Although life is relatively comfortable and uneventful, it is definitely impossible to earn four or five hundred medium-grade spirit stones in just two months.
It is precisely because there is no resources for cultivation that the cultivation level has stagnated and there has been no progress for many years!
With these more than 400 medium-grade spirit stones, plus the little he had saved, he could buy four Jade Luodan pills.
Yu Luo Dan is one of the third-level medium-grade spiritual pills. Usually, one Yu Luo Dan of low quality requires 150 medium-grade spiritual stones. He can barely gather 600 spiritual stones.
Although he could only afford low-quality Jade Luo Dan, four pills would surely be enough for him to break through from the first level to the second.
As for the upper-middle quality Jade Luo Dan, Duan Renjie didn't even dare to think about it, because each pill was worth more than 300 spirit stones, and there was no market for it.
After all, there are very few alchemists who can refine third-level mid-grade elixirs. If you want to refine mid-to-high-grade elixirs, I'm afraid only Master Shao can do it.
Master Shao is the number one alchemy master in the overseas cultivation world, and is known to all the independent cultivators and sects overseas.
But Master Shao is just one person after all, and how many elixirs can one person refine?
Therefore, the elixirs taken by overseas monks were all bought back from the mainland after being transferred many times, and more than 70% of them were produced by Yaowang Valley.
Duan Renjie counted the number of spirit stones, stuffed the storage bag into his arms, turned and left.
"Fellow Daoist Duan, if you have any good stuff next time, bring it over and pay a high price..."
Shopkeeper Wang was giving earnest instructions behind him.
Duan Renjie carried five or six hundred medium-grade spirit stones and walked quickly to a spiritual medicine shop on another street.
So many spirit stones are a huge sum of money for him. Although he has been in the martial arts world for decades, he has always lived a tight life.
Even with so many spirit stones in my arms, I have to spend them as soon as possible to exchange them for spiritual pills, only then will I feel at ease.
Tianhuo Dan Pavilion is the largest elixir shop in Tianhuo Xiancheng and is said to be the property of Master Tianhuo.
Duan Renjie had been interested in Yu Luo Dan a few months ago and had also looked up relevant books. He knew that Yu Luo Dan would be helpful for spiritual root breakthroughs like his.
The Tianhuo Dan Pavilion was bustling with people coming and going, especially the first and second floors, which mainly received cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
As a Jindan cultivator, Duan Renjie naturally went straight to the third floor after entering.
Because the third-level elixir is already a high-level elixir, it is not a common item and cannot be placed on the lower two levels.
"Does your store have Bixia Dan?"
Duan Renjie had just reached the third floor when he heard a middle-aged monk asking the shop owner.
"Senior, you're joking. The Bixia Pill is a third-grade, top-grade elixir. Not only is it available on our remote Jinbo Island, but even on the mainland, Medicine King Valley might not have it readily available. It requires custom-made elixirs from a master alchemist..."
"Indeed, it seems I have no choice but to travel all the way to Tianzhen Temple..."
Duan Renjie suddenly stopped in his tracks, and for a moment he thought he had misheard.
Jinbo Island is far away from Tianzhenguan. Not to mention overseas, even many cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent have never heard of this small immortal cultivation sect, Tianzhenguan.
"Brother Daoist, the Tianzhen Temple you just mentioned is the Taihua Prefecture in the Northern Yuan Continent..."
"Yes, this fellow Daoist has also heard of Chen Yunhao, the name of Master Chen?"
Jinbo Island is isolated overseas, and the wandering cultivators on the island are those who cannot make it on the mainland.
Moreover, Jinbo Island is thirty to forty thousand miles away from the mainland, and there is no direct teleportation array.
Even if you travel in a straight line from Jinbo Island to Beiyuan Continent, it is still nearly two million miles to Taihua Prefecture.
In addition, Chen Yunhao is a rising star who has only emerged in the last ten years, so most overseas monks have never heard of his name.
"Chen Yunhao, Master Chen, this..."
For a moment, Duan Renjie's mind seemed to be filled with paste, and he was confused and seemed to be hallucinating!
When he left, his master had already passed away, and his junior brother had been missing for many years. Most people in the temple believed that his junior brother was no longer alive.
How did he suddenly become a master? Could it be someone with the same name?
Duan Renjie was in a state of confusion and puzzled. Seeing that the middle-aged monk was about to leave, he did not even bother to buy the elixir and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Brother, please forgive me. I would like to invite you to drink a pot of spiritual tea in the teahouse in front. I also want to ask about the affairs of Tianzhen Temple..."
