Chapter 257: Infinite Mirage

In the Lingxi battlefield, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, so the scenery in various places is extremely beautiful. A group of people, one spirit and one tiger, walked and saw along the way. In terms of the experience of various places in the battlefield, no cultivator of the same level is more than Lu Ye.

He left Qingyun Mountain from the second level of Lingxi and embarked on the journey back to Bixue Sect until the fifth level of Lingxi, which took more than five months.

This time, it was considered to be starting from the territory of Qingtian Sect and starting a long journey again.

Although other cultivators occasionally go out to travel, they spend most of their time in cultivation.

Walking more and seeing more, naturally knowledgeable.

In a market, the dusty Lu Ye and Yiyi came hand in hand.

Unlike the market in the outer circle, this place is more prosperous. After all, the people coming and going are no longer those small cultivators in the third and fourth levels. Those who are qualified to venture into the inner circle are at least at the sixth level.

And the name of this market is also very simple, Tianjifang, because this is a market formed by the Tianji Business Alliance.

Such markets are everywhere in the inner and core circles.

Although the monks can spend merits to buy some rare items from the Tianji Treasure House, they will not use precious merits for daily life or cultivation, after all, merits are hard-earned.

Where there are transactions, the market will naturally come into being.

Lu Ye has been to several markets in the outer circle, but this is the first time he has been to the inner circle market. After walking around, he found that it is very different from the outer circle market.

At least, the buildings here are more neat and the streets are cleaner. Many casual cultivators or cultivators from sects come in and out here.

There are also casual cultivators in the inner and core circles. Because they are used to it, because of personal pursuits, or for some other reasons, these casual cultivators have not joined any sect.

Moreover, for the sect, these casual cultivators who are generally at the seventh or eighth level are no longer suitable for being accepted into the sect, because no one knows whether the origins of these casual cultivators are innocent enough. It would be bad if they accepted a spy from a hostile sect.

Furthermore, it is difficult to guarantee their loyalty.

In the outer circle, those cultivators at the third and fourth levels still have the opportunity to join the sect. The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to join the sect.

Therefore, there are not only scattered cultivators at the level of Lingxi Realm, but also cultivators from the Yunhe Realm, Zhenhu Realm and even Shenhai Realm.

Most scattered cultivators choose to practice under the residence of a certain sect because the spiritual energy of the residence is rich. However, there are also a small number of scattered cultivators who do not choose to rely on any sect, because relying on others, in addition to enjoying the spiritual energy in the residence, there is no other practical benefit, but they have to obey the orders of others.

Most of these scattered cultivators live around Tianjifang and earn their own cultivation materials.

It must be said that the days of these scattered cultivators are actually very hard, but they live freely.

Lu Ye came to Tianjifang mainly to rest here for one night and update his own ten-point map.

He bought this thing at the beginning at a high price. It has been almost a year, and there must be many changes in the map.

At the same time, he also had to deal with the unused spoils, such as the things he got from Yin Guang Island. These things took up a lot of space in the storage bag. Most of them had been sold to Tianji Treasure House on Yin Guang Island. The remaining little was used to exchange for cultivation resources.

He walked into the Tianji Business Alliance leisurely. The internal structure was the same as the business alliance he had visited before. Under the guidance of a steward, he entered a compartment.

He put forward his own requirements and took out the things he wanted to trade. The steward took them and left.

While waiting, Lu Ye poured himself a cup of spiritual tea. This brought back some of his memories. He thought about how he would drink tea every time he entered the Tianji Business Alliance, because this spiritual tea contained some spiritual power that could be used to improve his cultivation...

At that time, he was really poor. He had to count the spiritual pills used for cultivation every few days, for fear that they would run out one day.

Now he doesn't have to worry about spiritual pills. If there are no cultivation materials, he can just rob them. Even precious things like merits, Lu Ye has saved a lot.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the steward returned and handed back the updated Ten-Point Map, as well as a bag of spirit stones and spirit pills.

Lu Ye counted the money and the money was paid.

He asked the steward for accommodation and was properly received.

After a while, in the Tianzi No. 3 room on the third floor of the Merchant Alliance, Lu Ye sat cross-legged and checked the changes in the Ten-Point Map, but after looking around, he didn't see any difference from before.

I think the changes are not big.

However, from the location, it will take another half a day to enter the Fenghuayuan's resident area.

With previous experience, Lu Ye decided to be straightforward this time and go directly to other people's mining areas. He was at the seventh level before, and he had just arrived in the inner circle, so he couldn't be too arrogant. Now he is at the eighth level, and it shouldn't matter if he is a little arrogant. Anyway, if he can't beat them, he can run away.

Well, that's the decision.

Putting away the Ten-Point Chart, Lu Ye took out a thick book and flipped through it while constructing and deciphering spiritual patterns on his palm. His diligent practice every day made him more skilled in doing this than before, which also meant that his attainments in the way of spiritual patterns were gradually improving.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, after getting enough rest, taking a shower, and changing into clean clothes, Lu Ye walked down from the third floor in high spirits.

The hall was surprisingly deserted. Apart from the people from the Merchant Alliance, no other cultivators were seen.

Lu Ye didn't think much about it and walked out of the Merchant Alliance with Yiyi. When he looked outside, he found that there were not many people in the market outside.

It seemed that all the cultivators here had run away overnight.

Lu Ye frowned, not knowing what was going on.

Yiyi said, "I'll go ask?"

Lu Ye nodded.

She turned and came to the female cultivator who was in charge of reception at the door, and called sweetly, "Sister, what happened here?"

The female cultivator said, "I heard that it seems that the Infinite Mirage Realm appeared."

"What is that?"

The female cultivator shook her head, "I don't know much either." She was just a small cultivator of the fourth level. If it weren't for the relationship with the Tianji Business Alliance, it would be impossible for such a cultivation level to appear in the inner circle.

Lu Ye had already stepped into the Business Alliance and randomly found a manager: "Do you have any information about the Infinite Mirage Realm?"

The manager smiled and said, "Of course there is. What level do you want..."

"The most expensive one!"

Today is different from the past. Back then, you had to be ruthless to buy a copy of the Ten Map. Now Lu Ye is not short of money.

"Please wait a moment." The manager left quickly.

After a moment, he returned and handed a jade slip to Lu Ye: "Thank you for the nine hundred spirit stones."

This price... is indeed a bit outrageous.

Lu Ye said nothing, counted out nine hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the steward, and walked aside to check the information of the Infinite Mirage Realm.

After half a cup of tea, he put down the jade slip, noticed Yi Yi's gaze, handed the jade slip to her, and Yi Yi also checked it.

According to the information revealed in this jade slip, the Infinite Mirage Realm is an independent small space, similar to the chess sea, but not as vast as the chess sea.

And there is more than one kind of Infinite Mirage Realm, it has many kinds, some of which have beautiful environments, some are spooky, and some are unpredictable.

But without exception, every Infinite Mirage Realm has good things, or genius treasures, or secret techniques and secret books, and even some people have obtained heaven-level skills in it.

The cultivation techniques in Jiuzhou are polarized. Below the heavenly-level cultivation techniques, including the earthly-level cultivation techniques, are all commonplace. This is why Lu Ye was able to buy the Red Lotus Soaring to the Sky Art from Xuanmen for only a few spirit stones.

This earthly-level cultivation technique is only sold for a few dozen spirit stones, which is not expensive.

But the heavenly-level cultivation techniques cannot be bought outside, and can only be obtained in one way, that is, to exchange them from the Tianji Treasury with merit points.

To exchange a heavenly-level cultivation technique, the merit points consumed are at least thousands of points, and because of the Tianji supervision, the heavenly-level cultivation techniques exchanged from the Tianji Treasury cannot be passed on to others, otherwise the Tianji will punish.

Thousands of merit points are not much for Lu Ye, because he kills enemies easily, and with the identity of the garrison commander, he occasionally opens a small stove for himself and pays a monthly salary.

But even if many cultivators accumulate merits from the first level to the ninth level, they may not be able to accumulate enough merits for a heaven-level technique, because they cannot afford to buy heaven-level techniques, and there are many cultivators whose cultivation is stuck at the ordinary ninth level.

But this thing cannot be missing, because the heaven-level technique is related to the key for cultivators to break through the Lingxi realm and advance to Yunhe. Simply put, without the heaven-level technique, there is no way to advance to Yunhe.

This is also the reason why the cultivators of the two camps are willing to fight each other. Killing the enemy will gain merits, and merits are related to their own future.

Therefore, the boundless mirage realm is very attractive to cultivators. If you get a heaven-level technique in it, it is equivalent to picking up thousands of merits for free.

The information about the boundless mirage realm sold by the Tianji Merchant Alliance is very comprehensive, because every time the boundless mirage realm appears, they will spend spirit stones or spirit pills to buy information from the surviving cultivators and record and summarize it.

So there is a reason why it is expensive.

According to the jade slip, the Infinite Mirage will randomly appear in any part of the Lingxi battlefield. The entire Lingxi battlefield is so large that even if the probability of its appearance is not low, it is a kind of luck to encounter it.

Under normal circumstances, once the Infinite Mirage appears, nearby cultivators will enter it to seek benefits.

This is also the reason why there are suddenly fewer people in the market.

However, the Infinite Mirage appears for a very short time. From its appearance to its disappearance, it takes only about one day. Counting its discovery and the delay of information transmission, not many people can enter it every time the Infinite Mirage appears. There was even one time when the Infinite Mirage was not discovered until it was about to disappear. As a result, when the person who discovered it ran to the place, the Infinite Mirage had disappeared, which made that person regretful.

After digesting the information he had obtained, Lu Ye led Yi Yi out.

After asking the female cultivator who received him at the door a few more questions, Lu Ye sacrificed his small boat spirit weapon and took Yi Yi to the sky.
