Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 12: Enjoying Good Fortune for You

He did not walk towards the south, but headed west instead.

Five miles to the west of Divine Will Sect, there was a market called Ruyi Market.

Just now, he carefully considered it and felt that it was not safe to sell Spirit Rice in Anding Market. There were too many familiar faces there, and it would be hard to avoid drawing attention when selling so much Spirit Rice at once.

For safety's sake, he decided to go to Ruyi Market in the west.

Although it was a journey of over ten miles, he could reach there in no time by using the Swallow Flight Technique.

Moreover, it would also improve his proficiency and wouldn't delay his cultivation at all.

Then, he condensed the gathered spiritual energy into his legs and activated the Swallow Flight Technique, starting to sprint.

Now his speed was comparable to that of an antelope, and even more enduring.

With the remaining spiritual energy in his body, running at full speed for an hour was not a problem.

...

The original owner rarely had the opportunity to come here, so the scenery here was quite novel to Chu Ming.

Running out of the Lingtian area outside the mountain gate, he arrived at the residential area for outer disciples on the east side of Jinlin Mountain's plain.

The residences here were mostly small thatched cottages and bamboo houses, with small yards that were even smaller than his own.

And one house could accommodate four or five disciples, both male and female.

Divine Will Sect had vast land and could actually build many houses.

However, in the world of Immortal Cultivation, there was always the belief in spiritual energy feng shui. Man-made alterations to the environment within the sect would disrupt the feng shui, cut off spiritual veins, and deplete the spiritual energy within the sect.

So, there were only this many houses for the outer disciples, and even if the number of disciples increased, there was no further expansion.

The distribution of the residences was also scattered, with a thatched house by the river, a bamboo house in the bamboo forest, and a wooden house at the foot of the mountain...

There was no large residential area, and each house blended well into the natural environment, appearing harmonious and beautiful.

However, the disciples living inside these houses didn't have it easy, with four or five people squeezed into such a small space.

Seeing the living conditions of these disciples, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Indeed, everything was relative.

Although he was also a low-level cultivator, he was at least a professional with skills. With the convenience of the Lingtian, he could enjoy a spacious courtyard all to himself.

At least in terms of living conditions, he was much better off than these disciples.

On his way, he encountered many cultivators.

Some were meditating quietly on tree trunks, some were practicing the Water Arrow Technique by the river, and some were practicing the Fire Snake Technique in an open space.

There were also many hurrying on their way to their respective tasks.

Looking into the distance towards the north, he could see the seven mist-shrouded peaks of the inner sect. Some inner sect disciples were shuttling through the air on flying swords, rainbows, or riding various Spirit Beasts such as cranes.

Watching this scene, Chu Ming couldn't help but be filled with longing. Compared to them, these outer sect disciples were completely like ordinary people. How could they be considered cultivators?

He felt a tingling sensation in his heart and thought that one day, when he learned to fly, he must fly with great joy.

He activated the Swallow Flight Technique and sprinted to the foot of Jinlin Peak, circling around it before heading north.

At this moment, a vast lake appeared to the west, stretching as far as the eye could see. This was Golden Scale Lake, spanning over five hundred miles, with only a part belonging to Divine Will Sect.

The surface of the lake shimmered with waves, and the misty water reflected the blue sky, as beautiful as a painting.

There are people boating and fishing in the lake, while others walk along the lake or quietly practice their cultivation.

Suddenly, in the distance, a white-robed female cultivator stepped on a giant flying sword and skimmed low over the lake, creating a long string of seven to eight meters high splashes. After landing on the shore, she flew towards a distant peak and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was truly graceful.

Chu Ming, who was closest to her, took a closer look and saw the stunning appearance of the female cultivator, causing him to stop in his tracks and become lost in thought.

Damn, this might be a real fairy. She is too beautiful, just one glance and you will never forget.

Most importantly, her temperament, cold and aloof, unattainable. Mortal women definitely do not possess such temperament.

Is this the Immortal Cultivation World? It has beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women. It truly lives up to the world that countless mortals yearn for.

Once you have witnessed the beauty of this world, the pleasures of the mortal world become tasteless.

After seeing all this, Chu Ming's heart was secretly excited, and his determination to become stronger became even firmer.

At this moment, he glanced at the proficiency panel and found that he had missed several points of proficiency just now.

He couldn't help but curse silently. He was too distracted by the beautiful scenery and women, which caused him to lose focus and not increase his proficiency.

Immediately after, he put on a serious expression, no longer paying attention to the scenery on the road, and focused on using the Swallow Flight Technique to hurry to his destination.

He ran along the lake, and soon saw the market on the lakeside.

There was also a pier by the lake, where many independent cultivators who made a living by fishing gathered.

Entering the gate of the market, he entered the street, with various shops on both sides.

He entered a shop called "Spirit Meat Shop" and took out a hemp bag containing demon bat from his snake skin bag.

He asked the bald strong man, "Fellow Daoist, do you accept this Demonic Beast? The Beast Core is still intact."

The strong man took the hemp bag and looked at it. "A demon bat, this meat is worthless, you should know that, right?"

"At least four spirit stones if you include the intact demon body and the Beast Core."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't deceive me. It can't be that worthless, right?"

"At least six spirit stones, otherwise I'll sell it elsewhere."

The people in the market were all cunning. The Beast Core of this Demonic Beast alone was worth at least three spirit stones. There was no way that so much demon meat and bones that could be used as spiritual materials would only be worth one spirit stone.

After some bargaining, they settled on a price of five spirit stones.

Chu Ming then set his sights on a piece of 20-jin dried demon deer meat. It could replenish qi and blood and had a golden attribute spiritual energy. He could get it for just four spirit stones.

He didn't hesitate and bought it. This meat would greatly benefit his physical fitness, and the golden attribute spiritual energy could also be used to cultivate the Golden Light Slash. Moreover, the enticing aroma of the meat was quite good.

He turned around and looked at the fish pond made of bricks in the southwest corner of the shop. There were several translucent Spirit Fish swimming inside, shining like jade.

Most of them were translucent light blue, the same color as spirit stones, but there were also red, blue, green, and other colors.

"These are the best Spirit Fish. Buy a few. They were just caught from Golden Scale Lake this morning," the shop owner said with a smile.

Chu Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the Spirit Fish.

It is said that once you taste Spirit Fish, you will remember the taste for a lifetime. However, the previous owner had never tasted it in most of his life.

Looking at the price list, one spirit stone for half a jin of Spirit Fish, and five spirit stones for one jin.

The price was acceptable. The bigger the Spirit Fish, the better it tasted and the more abundant the spiritual energy, so naturally, they would be more expensive.

But it was still more expensive than eating Spirit Rice or demon meat.

However, Chu Ming didn't treat himself badly. He took out four spirit stones from the six spirit stones he had saved up and handed them to the shop owner.

"Give me one jin."

At the same time, he silently said to the previous owner in his heart, "Brother, you haven't enjoyed this pleasure, so I'll enjoy it for you."

"Money is not a problem for me."
