Lingxi State is part of the Water and Wood Continent, where forests, lakes, and rivers are everywhere. Viewed from high above, the mountain and river landscape presents a lush and beautiful scene, with abundant water and soil.
After Elder Jiang controlled the flying ship and quickly flew out of Chu Kingdom’s territory, Lu Ping and the four of them discussed for a mont and decided to first head to Hidden Mist Island to purchase so resources.
The enormous flying ship broke through the sky, and in just half a day’s ti, it flew out of the Lingxi State continent territory and entered the vast blue sea.
Having visited Qingli Sea multiple tis, Lu Ping always felt a different sensation each ti he ca here.
This ti at Qingli Sea, Lu Ping was still full of curiosity about this sea region, with infinite yearning and anticipation in his heart.
He hopes to make so achievents in Qingli Sea, obtain so opportunities, and breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage soon.
Compared to the mainland Cultivation Realm, Qingli Sea Cultivation Realm is more prosperous, with extrely developed alchemy and artifact refining techniques flourishing. It is also a paradise for demon beasts, with various demon beasts all over the place, full of unknown dangers.
Even the team of four Golden Core cultivators, including Lu Ping, did not dare to lower their guard.
"Hidden Mist Island is a bustling area in Qingli Sea, and there must be many high-tier cultivators living on the island. We should be discreet and avoid causing unnecessary trouble," Elder Jiang reminded Lu Ping and the other three while controlling the flying ship.
Hidden Mist Island is the largest island in Qingli Sea. Not only is it expansive, matching the area of Chu Kingdom, it is also the most prosperous cultivation spot in Qingli Sea, where tens of thousands of cultivators gather, including Golden Core and even Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Remarkably, the largest cultivation market in Qingli Sea is located here, nad Hidden Mist Island Market, renowned across the sea, attracting cultivators from all places to co here and seek fortune.
Hidden Mist Island Market is open year-round, positioned in the eastern region of Hidden Mist Island. Its level of prosperity is unmatched even by Qinghe Market, Guangde Market, and other markets combined within Chu Kingdom.
This is why Elder Jiang suggested coming here to purchase combat and cultivation resources.
Elder Jiang’s self-founded Nine Cold Mountain Market doesn’t even match a tenth of Hidden Mist Island Market.
Entering Hidden Mist Island Market doesn’t require paying spirit stones; cultivators only need to release their cultivation to demonstrate they are cultivators.
The market is very inclusive, welcoming both sea and land cultivators to co and go. Occasionally, Golden Core Demon Kings who transform into human form also co here to purchase magical artifacts, elixirs, etc.
To avoid attracting attention, before reaching Hidden Mist Island Market, the four of them jumped off the flying ship and discreetly controlled a magical artifact to fly towards Hidden Mist Island Market.
Soon, the four arrived at the entrance of Hidden Mist Island Market, which was a castle-like structure, surrounded by fluctuating ripple-like restriction patterns.
Such restrictions not only serve as defense, blocking attacks from cultivators, but also have a simple detection effect.
Once a cultivator steps inside the market, the restriction automatically detects whether the cultivator possesses any cultivation.
Of course, the restriction only checks for the existence of cultivation, not the specific state of cultivation.
"Hm, there have been more and more cultivators coming to us these past few days."
At the market entrance, a stationed Foundation Establishnt cultivator remarked, glancing at Lu Ping and the four, curious upon seeing their attire.
"Hmm, these four seem to be outsiders based on their clothing; they must have co here because of its reputation."
...
Together with him was a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt female cultivator, looking nineteen or twenty years old, very young, both dressed in Mist Concealnt Sect disciple robes.
It is worth ntioning that not only does Hidden Mist Island have the largest cultivation market in Qingli Sea, it is also ho to the renowned sect Mist Concealnt Sect.
These two Foundation Establishnt cultivators were carrying out sect-assigned tasks, fulfilling a one-year duty guarding this entrance.
They were guarding against demon beasts and evil and demon cultivators.
And inside Hidden Mist Island Market, there are constantly more than three Golden Core cultivators stationed. If any cultivator violates market rules by fighting, picking fights, or disrupting order, they are imdiately expelled from the market.
Severe cases may even be killed on the spot.
With such rules in place, Hidden Mist Island Market is very safe, leading to its increasing prosperity, attracting cultivators, rchants, factions, sects, families, etc., to conduct business here, also supporting many loose cultivators.
Compared to Lingxi State continent, loose cultivators in Qingli Sea have an easier life.
Since Qingli Sea is filled with various demon beasts, loose cultivators seeking cultivation resources can totally strive to slay demon beasts, selling demon pills and beasts to obtain spirit stones.
Living by the sea, these loose cultivators are generally stronger than inland loose cultivators, possessing more battle experience and knowing how to fight demon beasts.
Entering the market, with a broad main path at the center, there are four branching roads extending out, stretching far into the distance.
This market is composed of five streets: central, east, south, north, and west. The central street mainly deals with demon-related transactions, such as demon pills and demon beast flesh.
The remaining four major streets are divided into four major areas.
The East District is for magical artifact transactions.
The South District is for elixirs.
The North District is for talismans.
The West District is for various cultivation resources, including but not limited to arrays, jade scrolls, storage bags, cultivation techniques, etc.
Such division not only allows for better managent but also makes it convenient for cultivators to purchase. If they want magical artifacts, they go directly to the East District.
Being here, Lu Ping and the four certainly wouldn’t limit themselves to purchasing just magical artifacts.
The four of them had clear purchasing goals, so after strolling through the market for a while, they decided to split up and buy their respective needed materials.
Lu Ping stepped into the East District to purchase magical artifacts.
The East District was filled with various magical artifact shops, like Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Divine Weapon Workshop, Celestial Craft Tower, and others.
Lu Ping surveyed the area and walked into the Divine Weapon Workshop.
Upon entering the shop’s door, he saw that it was quite cold and unoccupied.
Though the number of magical artifacts displayed was limited, each piece was at least in the Tier Three category, clearly catering to Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators and above.
Lu Ping eyed the shop’s items, not in a rush to call for assistance.
He examined several Tier Five magical artifacts, including flying swords, gourds, mountain seals, shields, each with its own distinct characteristics.
Among them, a small, irregularly shaped, black object about half a palm in size caught Lu Ping’s attention.
