Chapter 389: Barter Meeting!

Mountain Ape Holy City.

This is the most central immortal city of Yueling Continent. It is named so because before the path to ascension was cut off, the last cultivator to ascend in the world of immortal cultivation was a mountain ape.

And this old monkey ascended here.

When a cultivator ascends, strange phenomena will occur in the sky, and cultivators who are close to him will also gain some immortal fate.

Therefore, in the past, every time a cultivator ascended, a large number of cultivators would come to watch the ceremony.

And the place where the cultivator ascends, because it is blessed by the essence of heaven and earth, will also carry a part of the rhyme of Tao, so that the cultivators here can gain some opportunities during the practice.

To this day, the Mountain Ape Holy City has long lost its immortal fate, but as the place where the last cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation ascended, it has long become a symbol.

The huge immortal city is full of mountains and rivers, the immortal palace floats in the sky, and the spirit ships coming and going gather.

As one of the four places that can go to the core eighteen continents, Yueling Continent gathers the top cultivators from the three hundred immortal cultivation worlds in the middle area and even the marginal areas.

Let's put it this way. Except for a few places like the Tiannan Xiuxian Realm, in most of the Xiuxian Realm, any high-level Nascent Soul cultivator who still has some aspirations, the goal is the four ferry continents.

In addition to the Mountain Ape Holy City, there are a total of 108 places in the Yueling Continent, each of which can be regarded as an independent force like the Snow Palace.

The same is true for the other three ferry continents, each with 108 regions.

The four continents add up to 432 independent forces, but there are only 49 places for each entry order. These 49 places are not evenly divided, but are snatched by strength.

Once when the quota was scrambled, only three of the 108 forces in the Yueling Continent won the entry quota.

All foreign forces who want to snatch the entry quota can only join one of the four continents. As for how to join, whether it is cooperation, scramble, or sneak attack, no one cares.

The premise is that when you fight for the entry order, you have to keep your power.

As for the proof of holding power, it is the power token. Each power has a token, and those who have the token are qualified.

In a boat-shaped restaurant suspended in the air, Shen Lian occupied a large private room alone. In the private room, a group of fairies at the Jindan level, wearing cool gauze skirts, their snow-white bodies looming, dancing in front of him.

Beside him, there were similar female cultivators pouring wine and picking up dishes attentively.

There were wine, dishes and fairies, and this scene was quite beautiful.

He followed Cui Shaoqing all the way from the Snow Palace Fairy City to the Mountain Ape Holy City, during which he overheard a lot of news.

The circle of the Divine Transformation cultivators is the Divine Transformation, and the news revealed by the Divine Transformation cultivators in a few words is very useful to him.

He didn't expect Cui Shaoqing to have good friends, and there were three cultivators of the same level at once.

And these three cultivators of the same level are like Cui Shaoqing, who have sealed their realms and suppressed them at the Nascent Soul level. They are here to participate in the auction.

It is said that several spiritual objects flowed out from the Eighteen Core Continents.

During this period, Shen Lian tried to perform the True Mistletoe Technique, constantly parasitizing the spiritual leaves on Cui Shaoqing's body. The effect was better than he imagined. One tenth of the entire spiritual leaf had been eroded by his parasitic technique.

After half a day, the graceful fairies retreated, looking at him with big watery eyes, with a tender look, wanting to undress for him.

In response, Shen Lian was as firm as a rock and did not give in at all. With a wave of his hand, the decadent atmosphere in the box dissipated. He came to the window and looked at the mountain ape holy city that was undulating like a giant beast.

The holy city that came into view was vast and boundless, and the spiritual energy rolled like a dragon. There were many Yuanying among the cultivators coming and going, and the Jindan was not as good as a dog.

Occasionally, you can also sense a cultivator in the late Yuanying period passing by.

Of course, these Nascent Soul cultivators are nothing in Shen Lian's eyes now, but the problem is that there are too many Nascent Soul cultivators.

At least under the external appearance, he did not see the so-called resource depletion.

Especially following Cui Shaoqing from the northern Snow Palace area all the way south, passing through the territories of several other regions on the way, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators is far beyond his understanding.

High-level cultivators from all over the world are gathering here.

At this moment, Shen Lian even suspected that he was sucked in by the huge vortex, and it was not accidental.

"Advancement order, forty-nine places."

Shen Lian squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He needed to change his next cultivation strategy. Coming to Yueling Continent was completely different from what he imagined before he left Tiannan.

The strange phenomenon of the wilderness before attracted hundreds of Nascent Souls from dozens of nearby areas, but this place is like a magnet, attracting high-level Nascent Souls from the entire cultivation world.

"Advancement Order, this is the Dragon Gate, the top Nascent Souls gathered from all four continents compete for the opportunity, but I don't know if there is a dragon behind the Dragon Gate, or a big pot."

"They are all in the God Transformation stage, but they are still hiding it. Is it just because of the rotten smell?"

At this moment, Shen Lian couldn't figure out many things. Was the decay of his body due to the advancement to the God Transformation stage?

After all, he was not far from the God Transformation stage.

Diving into the Yueling Immortal Cultivation World, he found that the water here was very deep.

"First, push the parasitic technique left on Cui Shaoqing to perfection, and completely control his movements and the communication between other God Transformation cultivators, so as to explore more secrets."

After a brief thought, Shen Lian made a decision in his heart.

Cui Shaoqing is equivalent to the circle of the God of Transformation that he has integrated into, and is a path for obtaining information.

And what he has to do next is to prepare for his advancement to the God of Transformation.

Find the old clam and auxiliary spiritual medicine to refine the Sea Rising Moon Pill.

As for the gap in the physical cultivation realm, in fact, if he advances to the God of Transformation, it will be easier to search for physical cultivation spiritual objects in turn.

…

Five years later.

In the Holy Ape Blessed Land, in a high-level cave, Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes, and a majestic vitality surged in his lower dantian, surrounding the Fuyao wood, outlining a phantom like a crabapple spiritual leaf.

It's done.

The spiritual leaf on Cui Shaoqing has been completely parasitized by him.

The parasitic Fuyao wood can absorb the vitality of the spiritual leaf. If this spiritual leaf is taken back in the future, the spiritual energy in the spiritual leaf can be directly transferred to the Fuyao wood.

"Strange, Cui Shaoqing is a sword cultivator, even if his perception is imprisoned, he shouldn't be so slow, is it because I am too strong?"

In the process of letting the parasitic seed completely control the spirit leaf, no accidents happened, which made Shen Lian a little suspicious.

For two years, Cui Shaoqing and his friends stayed in the Mountain Ape Holy City, waiting for the so-called auction.

Shen Lian also took this opportunity to walk around the Mountain Ape Holy City. It is worthy of being a place where all four directions gather. Many things that he has never heard of in Tiannan were encountered here.

The auction that Cui Shaoqing mentioned also started in the ninth year of coming to the Mountain Ape Holy City. The participants were all forbidden spirit masters like Lao Cui, and the number reached 23.

Moreover, this is only on the Yueling Continent. The auction was opened in a special space. There are teleportation arrays and spirit manifestation arrays in this space, which directly communicate with the four continents where the ferry is moored.

Including the other three continents, the number of spirit masters participating in this auction reached 100.

As he was surrounded by many incarnations, Shen Lian did not dare to mobilize the parasitic spiritual leaf. He could only wait quietly for the auction to end and listen to Cui Shaoqing and others' communication on the way.

This auction auctioned more than 20 spiritual objects, of which there were a total of four spiritual objects flowing out from the core continent. Shen Lian only passively heard the names of three of them.

A Three Thousand Tribulations Spiritual Leaf.

A Three Decays Spiritual Secret Method.

A fifth-level lower-grade longevity pill.

At this moment, he just knew that the parasitic spiritual leaf was called Three Thousand Tribulations and came from the Fairyland.

Cui Shaoqing and several fellow Taoists came here without gaining anything. They gathered and dispersed.

...

Shen Lian did not leave with Cui Shaoqing. The true mistletoe technique was very magical. The mutual induction was not entirely based on divine thoughts, but also on the spirituality of the spiritual plants. Therefore, he was not afraid of Cui Shaoqing leaving.

→

The reason why he did not leave was that the Holy City was the core area of ​​the Moon Spirit Continent, and it was blessed by the reputation of the last ascended cultivator. Some new Yuanying from the outside world would come here, not for anything else, but to get some good luck for their cultivation power.

The gathering of cultivators from all sides naturally brought with them the precious or unique spiritual objects in their respective cultivation worlds.

The owner of the Holy Ape Blessed Land saw this opportunity and organized an exchange meeting for the internal practitioners of the blessed land every once in a while, and as the host, he would only charge 10% of the fee.

This was equivalent to collecting money on the spot, but everyone was happy to do it.

The reason why Shen Lian moved into the Holy Ape Blessed Land was for this internal exchange meeting.

In the cave.

Shen Lian's fingertips were surrounded by colorful colors, and the power of the five elements was intertwined in his hands. Each strand of these five-color rule threads could be materialized and transformed into a certain object within the attribute.

However, these manifested objects were all illusory, and he had not reached the state of turning the virtual into the real.

The number of rule threads he brought back from the wilderness was more than 500 in total. He was able to have so many thanks to the farmer spirit master. All the rule threads collected by the old man were cheap for him.

To comprehend the rule threads is not to refine them into the body, but to comprehend them first and then learn the method of the evolution of the rule power, and then integrate them into one's own magic power and transform them into one's own combat power.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, had a colorful halo on his head. The five elements were intertwined inside the halo, and each attribute manifested different spiritual objects, such as the wood attribute derived the scene of the essence of grass and wood, and the water attribute was a vast ocean.

After the five different scenes merged into one, they did not break after colliding with each other, but formed a scene of mountains and lakes, wild grass fire, and looming gold and stone.

At this moment, he had reached a bottleneck in the comprehension of the five elements, and the next step would be the first transformation.

Shen Lian was thinking about how to make the five elements and the yin and yang rules communicate smoothly. He had mastered a trace of the yin and yang rules before, but there was no yin and yang rule in the thread of rules he obtained.

What he had to do now was to make the five elements derive yin and yang and communicate with each other.

In the process of comprehending the five elements, Shen Lian also had a new understanding of the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth. The five elements circulate, and yin and yang are not fixed yin and yang.

For example, the withering and flourishing of plants and trees is the reincarnation of life and death, which is also the external manifestation of yin and yang. The vitality of the cultivator is the yang energy, and the decay after sitting will cause breeding, which can be extended to the five elements.

Shen Lian felt that he had touched the changes between the five elements and yin and yang, but he could not break through this layer of window paper for a while.

A small copper bell hanging outside the cave made a crisp sound, awakening him from his comprehension, and then Shen Lian tapped the talisman paper on the table in front of him.

The talisman paper lit up with spiritual light, and the little man carved on the talisman paper slowly stood up, and then swelled up like a balloon, turned into a little man in green clothes, stretched his muscles and bones, and flew out of the cave.

The copper bell rang, which was the call signal of the exchange meeting.

As for why a puppet little man at the Jindan level was asked to participate in the exchange meeting...

It was mainly to follow the crowd.

The Holy Ape Blessed Land covers a vast area. Under the area is a fourth-level high-grade spiritual vein that is separated from the fifth-level spiritual vein. All the caves are built around this mountain range.

Each cave has an independent fourth-level high-grade protection and breath-retaining formation to ensure the safety and secrecy of the cultivators.

The puppet little man was attached to Shen Lian's divine consciousness. After flying out of the cave, he saw the streams of light everywhere.

On the left, a kind-looking old man sat diagonally on a donkey.

"Daoyou, long time no see."

The donkey spoke and greeted with a smile, but the kind old man closed his eyes to rest.

This is the art of attaching spirits to a tomb. The donkey and the old man are actually made up of the same entity.

Shen Lian nodded, "Daoyou Mao, long time no see."

On the right, the tip of a flying sword pointed at the void and flew through the air, like a zombie on the road.

Then, a curly-haired sturdy man rode on the neck of a puppet that looked like a girl and flew over with an arrogant look.

The donkey and the flying sword were normal, but there were also abnormal ones.

For example, two kidneys were bouncing in the distance. As for paper figures, monsters, etc., they were even more common. Shen Lian's puppet was handsome.

I don't know when this rule was passed down. All Daoists in the exchange meeting of the Holy Ape Blessed Land participated in the stand-in.

After each exchange meeting was opened, a group of monsters and ghosts were patrolled throughout the venue, and they were very harmonious.

The green-clothed puppet entered the venue. Shen Lian had participated in six consecutive meetings and bought some ores and spiritual medicines.

The participants looked like monsters, but the host was not. She was a normal beautiful woman in red. She had a great figure and her eyes were full of charm.

Luo Shangxia glanced at the dozens of strange faces gathered in the venue and was not polite.

"Old rules, those who have something will come up and show it directly."

"Those who dare to cheat will be crushed to death. If you don't believe it, come and try whether my knife is sharp."

...

There was nothing in the venue, but a stream, a pavilion, a rockery and strange rocks, but each place had a number, starting from the beginning.

The monks who came in could choose the number at will, and when exchanging objects, the monks who occupied the trumpet would start to show.

Then a goat with bloodshot eyes jumped close to the beautiful woman.

"Dear Taoist friends, I'm throwing out a brick to attract jade."

As he said, the goat opened his mouth, and a beating organ flew out. The organ was lingering with demonic energy and surrounded by a wisp of illusory figures.

"The organs of the fourth-grade top-grade old demon, in exchange for a fourth-grade top-grade defensive talisman."

"I'll trade with you."

A voice came from a blood coffin that fell into the water.

...

Sitting in the pavilion by the water, Shen Lian was not in a hurry. He could get one or two useful things every time he would exchange things. This was just the beginning.

"I have a blood soul heir that can help fellow Taoists successfully give birth to children with spiritual roots. As for the grade, I can't be sure, but I can only guarantee that there are spiritual roots."

A skinny old woman walked onto the stage. She was just a paper man, holding a blood-colored peach in her hand.

When this was said, it attracted the attention of many cultivators.

It is too difficult to give birth to children after practicing to the Nascent Soul level, and everyone came to the Yueling Continent and understood the dangers here. If they could give birth to children, it might be a good way out.

"I want to change the news. Is there any cultivator who knows how to sneak into the Void Sky Abyss?"

The old woman's dry and pale face looked a little weird, and her empty eyes could not see any changes in her expression.

After she finished speaking, as if she had lost her spiritual power, her paper body swayed in the wind.

Hearing this, Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. Although the Void Sky Abyss was dangerous, it had attracted many cultivators over the years.

But he couldn't understand why cultivators had to enter the core eighteen continents. Is there really a way to ascend there?

This reason was untenable to him.

In addition, Shen Lian found after research that the so-called entry order, the regional forces of the continent, etc., further increased the possibility of fighting among the top cultivators gathered from all directions.

The result was the same. Every time the battle for the entry order was opened, the first killing on the continent would start. Everyone had to compete for a force to obtain the qualification.

Then, these qualified forces would fight further to obtain the last forty-nine places.

After two battles, the high-level Nascent Soul cultivators who gathered from all directions were cut down like leeks.

If the core eighteen continents were really a fairyland, why would Cui Shaoqing and other gods be banned from entering the realm? Wouldn't it be better to just kill them all?

One update today.
