Cultivating immortals is a hard job

Time flies, and it’s a month later.

As for what the beast tide was about, Mo Xun naturally had no intention of asking.

On this day, after putting on a slight disguise, he came to a place called "Hongjin City".

This is the largest city within tens of thousands of miles.

One of the main reasons for coming here is that there are higher-level caves for rent and sale here.

Now, of course, he has to prepare for the pill formation!

According to his original idea, he would find a secluded place and then try to make a breakthrough.

But after talking to Ram, he immediately changed his mind.

Forming a pill is different from building a foundation. It is to trigger celestial phenomena and overcome the four or nine heavenly tribulations.

Although the Core Formation Thunder Tribulation cannot be compared with the Nascent Soul Stage, it is also extremely dangerous.

On the one hand, it is best to overcome the tribulation in a place that can help resist thunder and lightning, which can increase the success rate. However, only special thunder-resistant caves will be built in such places.

On the other hand, be careful not to disturb you when you are going through the tribulation. If there is no one to protect you, Xiaoxiao will inevitably take advantage of the loophole.

He naturally needs to be fully prepared for something like this that concerns his destiny and future.

After decades of cultivation, he didn't want to be ruined because of a moment of carelessness!

After paying a sum of spiritual stones at the gate of the city, he immediately found a guide and rented a cave for ten years in a residence specially provided for monks in the city.

Compared with what he had opened up in the barren mountains before, this place not only has all kinds of facilities, but also has extremely complete formation protection.

But the price of three thousand spirit stones is really not low!

Fortunately, the place is big enough, with a radius of ten miles, which is enough for him to deal with.

After not staying long in the cave, he hurried to Chengzhongfang City.

In a shop called "Tianhai Pavilion", as soon as Mo Xun stepped through the door, a man in his thirties and at the tenth level of Qi Refining hurriedly greeted him.

"Senior, please go directly to the second floor. Someone will greet you upstairs."

Mo Xun knew that in shops like this, the downstairs mainly sold Qi training supplies, and the higher-level items were all placed on the second floor, so he didn't think much about it and followed the man's guidance and went straight upstairs.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived on the second floor, I heard a gentle voice, and a faint fragrance came from my nose.

"I, Ye Xiaozhu, have met fellow Taoist!"

This is a young woman in her twenties, with a cultivation level in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Her appearance is not beautiful, but she is more delicate.

Between the eyebrows, it gives people an extremely comfortable feeling.

Mo Xun nodded politely, his eyes only stayed on the woman for a moment, and then looked aside with interest.

There are some scattered shelves around, but the contents inside are much less than those downstairs.

But every piece is of the highest quality.

Moreover, formation fluctuations were faintly emitted around each block.

"I wonder what you call your friend?"

As the woman spoke, she led Mo Xun to sit next to her. At the same time, with a wave of her hand, a maid brought tea, and Ye Xiaozhu personally served it.

"You're welcome, Fairy Ye. My surname is Su!"

Ye Xiaozhu sat down slowly, and after looking at Mo Xun for a moment, he said with envy: "If I am not mistaken, my Taoist friend is about to enter the realm of pill formation, right?"

Mo Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that easy, but coming here this time is really to prepare for the next breakthrough."

"As I am here, I would like to wish you, fellow Taoist, a speedy success in forming elixirs, so that I can add another golden elixir monk to our Hongjin City."

"Haha, let me borrow the fairy's lucky words!"

The two of them went back and forth and chatted.

"But with the fairy's cultivation, this day must not be far away!"

Ye Xiaozhu sighed softly and said with a sense of loneliness: "My Taoist friends don't know something. I have been stuck in the current state for more than 20 years. I may never have the opportunity to be on the great road in this life."

Mo Xun fell silent for a while. He could fully understand the other party's thoughts.

Without the help of the green gourd, he might not even be able to achieve the perfection of Qi refining, not to mention forming pills.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Ye Xiaozhu immediately smiled and said, "It's my fault that has ruined fellow Taoist's interest. Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you need when you are here today?"

Mo Xun blurted out without thinking: "I wonder if there are magic weapons or treasures that can withstand lightning disasters?"

"Of course we have this, our store..."

During the next stick of incense, Ye Xiaozhu introduced various magic weapons and formations like a treasure trove, which made Mo Xun's ears buzz, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a sharp mouth for business.

In the end, due to the other party's deception, Mo Xun suffered another massive bleeding and spent 6,000 spirit stones.

But for him now, he would rather spend more money than he can to be as foolproof as possible. If there is a problem in any link, no amount of spiritual stones can solve it.

"Do you need something to calm your mind?"

"Concentrate?"

Ye Xiaozhu smiled sweetly: "That's right. Although forming pills is not as good as condensing Nascent Soul, you need to overcome the calamity of inner demons, but entering concentration before advancing is also indispensable. Our store has the best ones from the Central Region, which are also good for your heart." Friends, you might as well come and get some!”

Mo Xun thought about it secretly, and it made sense.

But when Ye Xiaozhu brought the sandalwood and quoted the price, Mo Xun almost jumped out of his chair.

Just such a piece of wonderful incense is worth two hundred spirit stones!

Seeing Mo Xun's face turned dark, Ye Xiaozhu hurriedly explained.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that this incense is made from more than a hundred kinds of precious spiritual medicines. It has a very good effect on holding your breath and concentrating your mind. Many late Daoists in this city will use this incense to stabilize their minds when they are forming a pill."

Hearing this, Mo Xun gritted his teeth and bought ten sticks immediately.

He was like a drowning man who had lost his judgment. In order to survive, he was unwilling to give up even a straw worth a sky-high price.

After paying the spiritual stone, Ye Xiaozhu asked immediately: "Does fellow Daoist need a pill to replenish mana when forming a pill?"

Speaking of pills, Mo Xun couldn't help laughing. Does he still need to buy pills?

"This... No need. I still have a lot of spiritual medicines to restore mana."

Ye Xiaozhu smiled: "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you don't know that ordinary pills that restore mana have too strong spiritual energy and are not suitable for taking when forming a pill."

When Mo Xun heard this, his eyebrows raised and he immediately became interested.

"Please teach me, fairy!"

Just like that, under the other party's unremitting sales promotion, Mo Xun spent thousands of spirit stones and bought twelve of the so-called Xuling Pills.

"By the way, Daoist friend, do you have medicine to recover and heal injuries after the thunder tribulation?"

Hearing this, Mo Xun hurriedly said: "I do have this, thank you for your kindness, fairy."

Seeing that Ye Xiaozhu wanted to say more, Mo Xun quickly stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave!

This woman really took advantage of this fat sheep of his and slaughtered it as much as she could!
