The Qingli Sea is over ten thousand miles away from Lushan County. With a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s Sword Control speed, it would take at most one day to reach it.
Lu Yuanshan wasn’t heading to the Qingli Sea for the first ti.
Traveling alone, Lu Yuanshan did not choose to use the Flood Dragon Boat but directly rode the sword light and flew towards the Qingli Sea.
After flying for eight or nine hours, Lu Yuanshan entered the territory of the Qingli Sea.
His gaze overlooked the endless blue sea, with nurous island outlines visible afar, resting upon the vast sea region.
Hidden Mist Island is located to the south of the Qingli Sea, close to Cyan Simurgh Island.
Since he planned to attend the Hidden Mist Island’s Trade Conference, Lu Ping had already gathered clear information about the location of Hidden Mist Island and even its historical origins.
Continuing to fly three thousand miles in the direction of Cyan Simurgh Island, when he saw a massive island looming ahead, shrouded in ethereal mist, it ant Hidden Mist Island was about to arrive.
As the second largest island in Qingli Sea, second only to Cyan Simurgh Island, Hidden Mist Island is a mix of all kinds, ho to several Cultivation Families, and even has seven Cultivation Markets.
The Hidden Mist Island Comrce Association is the organizer of this conference, involving the participation of several large Cultivation Families from other islands.
Due to the flight restrictions over Hidden Mist Island, with the no-flight order being enforced for a millennium, Lu Yuanshan had to retract his flying sword and landed at the southern entrance of the island along with so other arriving cultivators.
There are a total of four such entrances on Hidden Mist Island, divided into east, west, south, and north gates.
Hidden Mist Island is also equipped with a Tier Five Grand Five Elents Qiankun Array, capable of resisting attacks from Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Though described as an island, Hidden Mist Island is rather a land seated upon the Qingli Sea.
The area of the island is almost equivalent to Lushan County.
Lu Yuanshan entered through the south gate alone and stepped into a market.
This market, nad Purple Cloud Market, was freely established by the many Loose Cultivators on Hidden Mist Island.
The Cultivation Market established by loose cultivators imposes no restrictions on who can enter. Whether one is a cultivator or a mortal, or even an Evil or Demon Cultivator, anyone can enter freely.
Purple Cloud Market is just one of the seven great markets on Hidden Mist Island, where trade is free, lacking governance, and without a strong cultivator overseeing things, considered a rather chaotic area within Hidden Mist Island.
However, due to this chaos and absence of oversight, items of mysterious origin, such as stolen magical artifacts, magical treasures, spirit pills, and so forth, often appear here.
Even demonic magical artifacts and demon cultivation techniques can be purchased.
It is indeed a great place for treasure hunting.
Upon arriving at Purple Cloud Market, he was surrounded by random market stalls, where more than ten divine senses swept over him openly, probing his cultivation level.
Among these divine senses, there are so Foundation Establishnt divine senses, the rest mostly being of the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Noticing the mid-stage Foundation Establishnt aura emanating from Lu Yuanshan, those Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators quickly withdrew their divine senses, like touching a red hot iron, not daring to examine Lu Yuanshan again.
The few Foundation Establishnt cultivators, after detecting Lu Yuanshan’s cultivation level, rely glanced at him more attentively.
Within Purple Cloud Market, many new faces appear daily.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yuanshan started observing the cultivators’ auras around him and noticed that their attire varied widely as they originally ca from across Celestial South.
Only occasionally did he see a few family cultivators in matching attire.
Sect disciples were yet to be found.
Regarding the dazzling treasures on these market stalls, Lu Yuanshan glanced curiously at a few items.
Most were Tier Two magical treasures, talismans, demonic beast materials, spirit grass, and so on, with rare appearances of Tier Three-level treasures.
Lu Yuanshan discovered that the prices in this market were much cheaper compared to Qinghe Market.
For instance, a Tier Two middle-grade Purple Reishi in Qinghe Market typically sells for three hundred spirit stones.
Here, the price is only two hundred and thirty spirit stones.
Moreover, any item related to demon beasts, such as inner cores, flesh and blood, claws and teeth, and refining materials, are considerably cheaper than in the Chu Kingdom, with an abundance of choices.
Various demon beasts abound, many of which Lu Yuanshan couldn’t na, seeing them for the first ti.
It’s not surprising such a situation arises.
Unlike the Mainland Cultivation Realm, the Qingli Sea is rich in water domains, with vast seas breeding over billions of demon beast species, making it a demon beast paradise, dangerously more than the safety of the Mainland Cultivation Realm.
Many demon beasts across the Mainland Cultivation Realm were cleared due to the cultivators’ continuous exploration, establishing sect territories long ago.
Various Spirit Mountain Blessed Lands have been occupied early on.
Human Race Cultivators rely on these resources, developing prosperous Mainland Cultivation Realm civilizations by utilizing mountains and waters.
The ocean cultivation realm is too vast, with countless sea demon beasts, making their number difficult to estimate.
The sea area itself is a haven for demon beasts, making survival here extrely difficult, and creating a vast territory for cultivators to peacefully settle is even harder to achieve.
Countries are challenging to establish here.
Locally born, native cultivators often fight sea demon beasts, growing amidst bloodshed and learning to communicate with demon beasts.
Without resource support, loose cultivators solely rely on themselves for their cultivation lives; thus, killing demon beasts to obtain cultivation resources becos the most effective and straightforward thod.
Such circumstances lead to an abundance of demonic beast spiritual materials in Purple Cloud Market, with more than half of the goods being related to demon beasts.
With a high quantity of similar goods and more demonic beast materials constantly flowing in, prices for these items naturally drop.
The Tier Two demon beast inner cores requiring two hundred spirit stones at Qinghe Market fetch only 60% less here.
Upon seeing such inexpensive demon beast inner cores, Lu Yuanshan compared the prices among several surrounding stalls and without hesitation bought so demon beast inner cores.
These Tier Two demon beast inner cores can be used for refining Tier Two elixirs or cultivation.
The demon beast at, once consud, strengthens the body and nourishes the divine soul, aiding cultivation, and is considered rare and precious food ingredients.
Intending to improve the sect disciples’ als, Lu Yuanshan also purchased so demon beast at ingredients, planning to make delicacies after the Trade Conference ends to let the disciples enjoy.
Completion of buying demon beast food materials, while Lu Yuanshan is still observing, a stall filled with items nearby has a sitting cultivator actively starting a conversation with him.
"Fellow Daoist, you’ve co at the right ti."
The cultivator was petite, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, his exposed aura fluctuated around the Second-Layer Foundation Establishnt.
From his casually matched clothing, he seed to be a Loose Cultivator.
