Chapter 95 Tianxing City
"We've finally arrived at Tianxing City!"
Looking at the magnificent city before him, Luo Ming was filled with excitement.
Six months ago, he went to Kuixing Island hoping to buy a Dust-Reducing Pill from other merchants, but after seeing the wanted list, he knew he absolutely could not expose himself there.
Although he obtained Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid from Liu Shi, and they had been enhanced by his small cauldron, he knew that he was just an ordinary cultivator with three spiritual roots, and it was not necessarily safe to rely solely on these two things to form his core.
Left with no other choice, Luo Ming still chose to spend half a year traveling to Tianxing City. After all, this was the center of the Chaotic Star Sea, where not only was the spiritual energy far more concentrated than elsewhere, but the resources of various demonic beasts were also extremely abundant. As long as he had spirit stones, he could basically buy them all.
Of course, without the corresponding strength to support him, if he reveals his wealth, the most likely outcome is that he will be secretly killed. You should know that Tianxing City is a mixed bag, with all kinds of cultivators.
"Master should be able to easily obtain the Dust-Reducing Pill in Tianxing City. It won't be long before he becomes a Core Formation True Person who lives to be nearly five hundred years old," Liu Shi's voice, tinged with envy, rang out.
"Core Formation... this is just the beginning; there's a long road ahead!"
Luo Ming sighed, then steered his flying boat, following the surrounding torrent of cultivators, and slowly entered the sacred city of One Star City in the Chaotic Star Sea.
After paying eight hundred spirit stones and obtaining a red ring, Luo Ming finally gained permanent residency in Tianxing City.
Just like when he arrived in a big city in his previous life, Luo Ming naturally went to rent a cave dwelling first. After spending a considerable amount of money, Luo Ming obtained the right to live in a cave dwelling on the thirty-ninth floor for a hundred years.
Although he had spirit stones to rent higher-level cave dwellings, those places were full of old monsters in the mid-to-late stages of Core Formation. Luo Ming was afraid that being too high-profile would attract the attention of some old guy.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is your cave's restriction token. Please keep it safe. I hope that when we meet again, you will have become a Core Formation senior." A white-robed cultivator dressed in Star Palace attire handed a yellow token to Luo Ming and smiled.
In his view, the person in front of him was close to the Pseudo-Core Realm and was most likely here to break through in seclusion. He had encountered this type of cultivator frequently during his years of service here.
Although most of them ended in failure, some soared to great heights from the start, so he could be considered to have made a good connection in advance.
Thank you!
After Luo Ming received the token and confirmed the location of the cave, he did not go to the cave immediately, but instead wandered around Tianxing City for a while.
Perhaps because Tianxing City is located on an island and is home to a large number of cultivators from the Chaotic Star Sea, the streets in the city are not as wide as one might imagine, and are not as spacious as those on Kuixing Island. However, the bustling scene here still greatly impressed Luo Ming.
Just as Luo Ming was overwhelmed by the sights and unsure which way to go, a cautious voice sounded from the side.
"Senior, do you need a guide? I am Jiang Yun, and I am very familiar with this place. It only costs three spirit stones a day."
Turning his head, he saw a boy in a gray Taoist robe looking at him with hopeful eyes.
But we forgot that every place has its share of people like this.
Luo Ming could tell that this person was only at the second level of Qi Refining. His Taoist robe was very large, and his thin figure could hardly support it. It didn't look like his own clothes.
"Okay, take me to a place where I can buy Dust-Reducing Pills first."
Luo Ming naturally wouldn't refuse; spending just a little money would save him a lot of trouble.
"Wow! Senior, are you about to form your core?"
Upon hearing the words "Dust-Reducing Pill," Jiang Yun looked at Luo Ming with envy. He had learned from other guests that this pill was an auxiliary medicine for advancing to the Core Formation stage.
For a cultivator of average talent like him, although the spiritual energy here is abundant, without resources, he would be lucky to even attempt Foundation Establishment in this lifetime, let alone Core Formation.
An hour later, under Jiang Yun's guidance, Luo Ming successfully purchased a Dust-Reducing Pill from Fengle Trading Company, one of the largest trading companies in the area.
He originally thought it would be difficult to buy, but the other party wanted to give it away for free. However, there was one condition: if he could successfully form a core, he would have to promise to help the business do something, and he would receive additional compensation.
Luo Ming naturally wouldn't make such a promise for that small reward, insisting on settling in spirit stones. In the end, he spent a considerable amount of spirit stones to buy one, and also cleared out the junk he didn't need.
"It seems my vision was too narrow before," Luo Ming remarked.
What is a rare and precious pill in the eyes of low-level cultivators is nothing to those powerful forces. As long as you meet the requirements, they will even give you those pills for free, all in order to win over those with the potential to form their core.
For that kind of power, the Dust-Clearing Pill is not actually important; what matters is the Core Formation cultivator.
After leaving Fengle Trading Company, Luo Ming had Jiang Yun pilot the Moyu Flying Boat, which took them for a spin around some famous spots in Tianxing City before returning directly to his cave.
Five days later, when Luo Ming looked at the Dust-Subduing Pill in his hand, which already had pill patterns, he had an idea and looked at the Spirit Gathering Cauldron in front of him.
"It seems that the more concentrated the spiritual energy, the better this item's ability to gather spiritual energy."
So Luo Ming put the Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid back into it, and after a few days he keenly discovered that the spiritual power in it had increased slightly.
This made Luo Ming very happy, feeling that his chances of forming his core had increased. Although the effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill could not yet be fully realized, his accumulated knowledge should be sufficient.
"My mana accumulation is just one step away from completion, and with the blessing of the Spirit Fire Forging Technique, my spiritual strength is now almost as strong as that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator. Add to that these three enhanced Core Formation aids, and if I still can't form my core..."
Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Luo Ming went into seclusion, he has never left his cave. Every day, a large number of cultivators come and go in Tianxing City, witnessing the prosperity of this city.
On this day, two dusty cultivators entered Tianxing City. One was an ordinary-looking young man, and the other was a burly man wearing a bamboo hat. They were Han Li and Qu Hun, who had finally arrived here after traveling for more than half a year.
"Please wait, esteemed immortals!"
A lean man walked up to the two men, his eyes darting around. He could tell that these two were first-time visitors to Tianxing City and were his target customers.
Han Li initially looked at the other person warily, but upon seeing that this person was merely a mortal without magical powers, he relaxed. However, he then frowned and asked, "What is it?"
The lean man immediately put on his professional smile and said respectfully, "I am Lu Er, a native of Tianxing City. I know this place like the back of my hand. Immortal Master, you only need to pay two spirit stones for me to help you find your way."
Han Li was unsure of where to go, and naturally wouldn't object to having someone lead the way, so he stated his need to rent a cave dwelling there.
"So the two immortal masters intend to stay here permanently! That's easy. As long as you have enough spirit stones, the first fifty floors below the sacred mountain can be rented at will."
Led by Nalu Er, Han Li and his companion arrived at a magnificent pavilion at the foot of the sacred mountain and chose a cave dwelling there.
"Senior, this is your restriction token. Please keep it safe." A young man in white handed a yellow token to Qu Hun.
Just as Han Li and his companion were about to leave, they suddenly sensed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was somewhat abnormal, as if it had been summoned by a certain place and was slowly moving towards a certain cave on the holy mountain.
