Immortal Palace Longevity

Most of the cultivators who come and go in Huangshan Market are independent cultivators, and their cultivation is generally not high.

The so-called independent cultivators are half the descendants of small families whose inheritance is about to be cut off, or the descendants of impoverished immortal cultivation families, and the other half are ordinary people who have obtained some immortal cultivation techniques by chance, and have explored and entered the immortal cultivation world by themselves.

The cultivation of these independent cultivators is generally not high, and they can generally only linger in the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, independent cultivators have never been valued by people from sects and families, and they are quite looked down upon, just like the rich families in the secular world look down on the poor and impoverished families.

Independent cultivators have low cultivation, and they are like a pile of loose sand, unable to form a group and alone, and often only believe in themselves and put their own interests first.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and they are completely unable to compete with the immortal sects and families. Therefore, more than 90% of the resources in the immortal world are controlled by large sects and families, which makes it difficult for independent cultivators to take every step. The selfish character of most independent cultivators is also caused to a certain extent by this reason.

The distance from Hanyue City to Huangshan Market is more than 200 miles. With Liu Yu's speed of escape, it took less than two hours to reach the market. What came into view was a valley shrouded in fog.

Although it is called Huangshan Market, the market is actually located in the valley. As for the fog covering the valley, it is just caused by the formation, which can only block ordinary people and has little power.

Liu Yu dropped the escape light, reached out to take out a sound transmission note from the storage bag, put it on his lips and moved a few words, then threw the talisman paper into the air, turned into a white light and rushed into the fog, disappearing.

When the sound transmission note is received by the people in the market, they will naturally open the formation to respond.

There was no fog array here originally, but the Huangshan Market was too close to the secular world. Occasionally, a ray of light was seen by mortals and they would mistake it for an immortal, so there was an endless stream of people coming here to seek immortality and visit the Tao. Even if a few people were killed to scare the monkeys, it still couldn't stop those who came here to seek a glimmer of hope when their lifespans were almost over. The owner of the market was not a demon cultivator, so it was not good to kill them all, so this was the only way.

Liu Yu waited for about half a minute, and the thick fog in front of him suddenly rolled up, and then it was like someone split it with a knife, splitting a narrow path half a meter wide. The other end of the path was endless and seemed very far away.

Liu Yu was expressionless and not surprised at all. He looked at the path for a while before walking in boldly.

This road looked very long, but after only a short while, he reached the end of the road.

When Liu Yu walked out of the intersection, his eyes suddenly brightened and his vision widened. A colorful valley appeared in front of him. The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only entrance and exit was a small road blocked by fog.

The entire valley was hundreds of acres in size, and there was a large group of pavilions and towers in the center of the valley. It looked a bit like a fairy, but it was still far inferior to the layout of Jiatai Market, both in terms of the quality and quantity of the buildings.

There were some people in strange costumes coming in and out of the building, which was quite lively. Of course, there were many people like Liu Yu who wore hats and black veils and did not want to reveal their identities, so he did not attract other people's attention when he entered the valley.

The cultivation of these cultivators was all hovering in the Qi Refining Stage, and there was not a single "expert" in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In the large open space in front of the pavilions and towers, there was a wide square paved with bluestone. On the square, many people set up stalls around like vendors.

Some stalls were crowded with people asking questions and trying to get the stall owners to lower the price by a few spirit stones, but most people just touched and looked at them and left, just for the novelty.

Liu Yu walked towards the building without showing any strangeness, intending to learn about the market of elixirs in this area first. The price of elixirs will fluctuate slightly depending on the distribution of spirit herbs used to refine various elixirs, but generally speaking, the difference will not be too big.

He went in and out of three or four shops, calmly asking about the price of Qingling Pills, asking but not buying, ignoring the strange looks of the shop assistants, and his heart was not moved.

After some inquiries, Liu Yu learned that the price of Qingling Pills in Huangshan Market was seven spirit stones for two, and the price of Ziling Pills in the late stage of Qi Refining was six spirit stones for one, which was slightly more expensive than that of the sect, but the sales were very good. After all, the resources here were scarce and the alchemists were even rarer.

But Liu Yu did not plan to sell directly to the shops this time: First, he had a lot of pills to sell. After all, this was the closest gathering place for cultivators to Hanyue City. He would come to the market to sell pills in the future. There were only five or six shops selling pills in the market. If he sold too many, it would be suspicious. It was inevitable that some people would have some thoughts.

Second, the purchase price was not high. Although only a few dozen spirit stones were lost each time, a small amount would add up to a considerable amount of spirit stones in five years. It would be good to have more. The important thing was that the pills were sold directly to the hands of casual cultivators, and it would be difficult for others to track how many pills he had sold.

As for whether selling pills would cause those shops to counterattack and make a black hand? Liu Yu was not worried. Although he sold a lot of pills, it was only a drop in the bucket compared to the number of cultivators in the market and could be easily digested. With his current strength, he was also enough to deal with ordinary enemies. This was the confidence!

After making a decision in his heart, he immediately took action. Liu Yu walked to the management office of the square to understand the rules of setting up stalls.

After some inquiries, I found out that a certificate is required to set up a stall in the square. The price of the certificate varies depending on the validity period. A seven-day certificate requires two spirit stones.

Liu Yu used a Qingling Pill to exchange for a seven-day voucher, and found an empty space to set up a stall.

He took out a half-zhang long and wide cloth from his storage bag and spread it on the ground. Liu Yu put two bottles of Qingling Pills and two bottles of Ziling Pills on it, and then took out a cushion and sat cross-legged.

Liu Yu looked at it and felt that it was too monotonous to put only two items. He took out the silver ruler and yellow fork from the storage bag. These two magic tools were obtained when he killed the monk couple in Confucian robes. They were only low-grade magic tools. They were not very useful to him now, just like chicken ribs. It would be better to sell them in exchange for some spiritual stones.

Finally, he found a two-foot-long wooden board and stood it in front of the stall, writing the price on it.

His price was slightly cheaper than that of the store, and he believed that he could sell it faster. As for the two magic tools, they were just ordinary low-grade magic tools, so he casually marked 120 spiritual stones and waited for the willing ones to take the bait.

Everything was ready. Liu Yu took out the teapot and teacup from the storage bag, poured a cup and drank it by himself, without shouting and waiting for business to come.

As an indispensable thing in cultivation, elixirs are still in need of many cultivators.

Soon, a casual cultivator came to the stall. The casual cultivator saw the price marked on the wooden sign and his face was happy, but he still tried to bargain. For casual cultivators, even if he could save half a spiritual stone, it would be good.

"No deception, no bargaining"

Liu Yu supervised the casual cultivator, pointed at the wooden sign and said lightly, while releasing the breath of the seventh level of Qi Refining for him to sense.

The cultivation of this casual cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining was very ordinary, and it was estimated that there were at most hundreds of spiritual stones in the storage bag. Liu Yu concluded based on the "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" that he certainly didn't want to argue with an ordinary casual cultivator for a few spiritual stones.

The most effective way to deal with such casual cultivators is to show strength directly, which is simple and crude but easy to use.

The casual cultivator wanted to talk after hearing Liu Yu's words, but then he stopped talking because he felt that his cultivation was far superior to his own.

But this pill was indeed cheaper than the store, which could save a few spiritual stones, so he was reluctant to give it up.

Finally, after confirming that there was no problem with the pill, he took out 32 spiritual stones, bought a bottle of Qingling Pill and left in a hurry.

After the casual cultivator left, Liu Yu took out another bottle of Qingling Pill and put it on the stall, waiting for the next customer.

Time passed slowly, and the sales of Qingling Pill were very good. Only 50 pills were left in two hours. At this speed, Qingling Pill could be sold out today.

Liu Yu came to a conclusion based on the actual situation.

Just as he was thinking, a tall and mysterious cultivator wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat came to the stall.
