Chapter 67: Digging a Grave Is Not Easy

Before entering Luoyue Town, Cao Rui made a series of preparations to ensure his own safety and hide his true identity.

Cao Rui first took out an ordinary black gown from the storage bag and changed the blue inner disciple uniform with the logo of the Spirit Beast Sect.

In this way, he could avoid being discovered by others that he was a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Sect disciples are always very conspicuous in the market of casual cultivators.

Then, Cao Rui took out a mask and put it on his face, completely covering his face.

Although cultivators usually recognize each other by remembering the fluctuations of their mana, it is always better to be more careful.

After making these preparations, Cao Rui stepped into Luoyue Town with confidence.

With the cultivation of the late stage of Qi Refining, the deep mana brought by the ancient Mingyu Gong, and many perfect level 0 spells, Cao Rui is still quite confident in his strength.

However, the dangers of the world of cultivation are also necessary to remain vigilant.

Only on the premise of protecting yourself can you be like a fish in water in the world of cultivation.

The scale of Luoyue Town is not much different from that of Heishui Town.

But one is located in Xiao State, and the other is in Yue State. There are obvious differences in the dress and accent of the residents of the two places.

Following the information in the records, Cao Rui finally arrived at the seventh lane of Luoyue Street.

The seventh lane is very long, but after walking to the end, there is only a gray-brown earth wall, which looks like a dead end.

Although the end is blocked by a high wall, Cao Rui still stepped forward without hesitation, and released his spiritual sense to detect.

Just as he approached the range of ten meters, a gray mist suddenly emerged in front of him during the spiritual sense detection, and the entrance was flashing with gray light. Obviously, a formation was set up here.

The dead end on the surface is just to prevent mortals from approaching.

Cao Rui confirmed the location of the entrance with his spiritual sense, and then he carefully rushed towards the entrance. A weak push came from the wall, which seemed to prevent him from moving forward.

However, Cao Rui did not retreat, but slightly condensed his magic power and pushed forward, so that he could step into the magic circle smoothly.

If there were mortals in the alley at this time, Cao Rui's whole body would be integrated into the wall of the alley in his eyes.

But if a mortal tried to do the same as Cao Rui, the thrust of the magic circle would make him feel like he was hitting the wall.

Only those with magic power could step into it.

After stepping into the magic circle, Cao Rui's eyes lit up.

The scene he saw was no different from the outside world, but it was a little different.

This was also an alley, but it was much longer than the outside world.

And the two sides of the alley were no longer dilapidated houses, but cultivators.

They set up a stall every four or five meters, and they sat cross-legged in front of the stall.

Outside the high wall of the alley was a gray area, which should be the magic circle that separated the boundaries of the mortal world.

Cao Rui glanced slightly and saw all kinds of items on these stalls.

Some are flying swords, some are books, and some are spiritual herbs... However, these things are basically low-end immortal cultivation supplies used in the early stage of Qi Refining.

At the end of the alley is a square. You can see the two mountains of Luoyue Town in the distance facing this square.

I think when the moon sets and rises, this square is the best place to enjoy the moon.

On that square, there should be shops.

And this alley plus the square is the entire territory of the immortal cultivation market here.

After all, it is a magic array formed by casual cultivators, and it is impossible to cover a large area.

The manual of the Spirit Beast Sect briefly mentioned this immortal cultivation market and wrote that there is no need to pay any fees to set up a stall in this alley.

And those shops on the square need to pay a certain rent.

Because of this, the goods sold by the shops on the square are usually of higher quality and more specialized characteristics.

For example, a magic weapon shop will only sell magic weapons, a pill shop will only sell pills, and a spiritual medicine shop will only sell spiritual medicine.

Cao Rui's Lingyuan Dan transaction could only be conducted in the shops on the square.

When Cao Rui stepped into the alley, the immortal cultivators in the alley immediately cast their eyes on him and began to look him up and down.

If Cao Rui was a newcomer to the immortal way, he would definitely be greeted with a "warm" greeting.

However, at this moment, Cao Rui did not deliberately hide the fluctuations of his mana in the late stage of Qi Refining.

The many casual cultivators in the alley just glanced at Cao Rui and quickly retracted their gazes.

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, people do not care about seniority or age, the only thing that matters is cultivation.

With Cao Rui's current level of cultivation, he is undoubtedly one of the absolute strong among these casual cultivators.

Facing such a strong man, they would never dare to entangle Cao Rui unless they were looking for death.

Cao Rui walked through the alley, and every step seemed steady and powerful.

The cultivation of these stall owners was ridiculously low, and only a few of the middle stage of Qi Refining were still acceptable.

Cao Rui's spiritual consciousness was like an invisible tentacle, quickly scanning the stalls on both sides.

This allowed him to see the items on these stalls clearly in an instant, whether they were precious treasures or ordinary sundries, they could not escape his perception.

Thinking of the fact that many cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining had done the same thing as himself, Cao Rui could guess that the probability of picking up treasures at the stalls was infinitely equal to zero.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Cao Rui stopped in front of a stall.

Cao Rui's eyes were attracted by an item, and he couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

He looked at the other items on the stall here. This stall owner is interesting. Those spiritual medicines should be homemade to fool people.

After scanning with spiritual consciousness, it can be found that ordinary herbs are stained with spiritual powder to make fake spiritual medicines.

However, the whimsical idea is not bad.

The owner of the stall is a small casual cultivator in the third level of Qi Refining. When he saw Cao Rui stopped in front of his stall, his heart couldn't help but tighten and jumped.

He prayed secretly, hoping that Cao Rui would just take a look and not find the problem with his stall.

After all, if it was a casual cultivator with a cultivation level similar to his, he could barely deal with it, but facing a strong man in the late stage of Qi Refining, he would not dare to provoke him easily even if he had ten courage.

The stall owner pretended to be calm and said carefully: "Ahem, senior, do you like anything? Please choose at will."

He tried his best to make his voice sound calm and natural, and silently prayed in his heart that Cao Rui would not notice his inner uneasiness.

Upon hearing this, Cao Rui waved his hand without hesitation, activated the object control technique, and took the only half of the ancient book on the stall.

The stall owner was slightly relieved to see that Cao Rui did not take the "spiritual medicine."

"It's the recipe for the second-level spiritual medicine, but only one-third of the content."

"And it's a small part in the middle, and this small part doesn't even have the name of the spiritual medicine."

Cao Rui is an entry-level alchemist, and he can still distinguish the authenticity of the recipe.

But to be honest, this kind of ancient recipe is not worth much.

Because in the existing world of cultivation, what is lacking is not the recipe, but the spiritual medicine needed to refine the spiritual medicine.

Because of the decline of a large range of spiritual energy, some spiritual medicines in the world of cultivation have begun to become extinct.

Some spiritual medicines recorded in ancient recipes may not be found.

Many recipes in the world of cultivation today are improved after finding substitutes.

Cao Rui thought for a moment and said, "This item is quite valuable for collection. Where did you get it from? How much is it for?"

The stall owner smiled awkwardly and said, "I picked it up from an ancient tomb. If you want it, how much?"

The stall owner held out five fingers.

Cao Rui frowned slightly and said, "I'll offer one spiritual stone."

The stall owner coughed dryly and made a cautious offer, "Ahem, senior, it's not easy to make some money. Considering that it's not easy for me to dig graves, how about two spiritual stones?"

Cao Rui did not say anything and directly took out two spiritual stones from his storage bag and threw them out, and at the same time put the remaining square into the storage bag.

Then, Cao Rui walked towards the square.

"Senior, take care!" The stall owner said goodbye to Cao Rui and excitedly put the two spiritual stones into his arms.
