Chapter 289 Ready

After leaving the teahouse, Gu Xia came to a market. There were vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road. When he saw pedestrians entering from the street entrance.

The shouts came one after another.

But this place is different from ordinary markets.

Gu Xia heard.

"Fellow Taoist, stay! Take a look at my flying swords! They are all made of century-old peach wood! They are all second-grade top quality!"

"Selling all kinds of magic weapons, accepting payment in gold and silver!"

"The blood-patterned steel is on sale! Four or two are sold for one black crystal!"

"Selling Five Elements Talismans! Various types are available, one dozen and a half Xuan Crystals, three dozen and one Xuan Crystal."

"..."

That's right, those who set up stalls and sell goods here are basically soul cultivators.

The Taoxian Celebration is not only a celebration of Taoxian Mansion, but also a gathering of Yunzhou soul cultivators, so there are many soul cultivators exchanging the resources they need.

For a long time, Taoxian Mansion set aside a street specifically for these soul cultivators for trading.

On the street, customers stopped to ask about prices from time to time, followed by intense bargaining sessions.

These soul cultivators don't look like immortals at all, but are almost like ordinary philistine businessmen.

Gu Xia also saw a vendor selling spiritual stone mines on the roadside, which was a method of gambling on stones or opening blind boxes.

He originally wanted to use Xingchen's scanning function to make a small profit, but when Xingchen scanned them, he found that those were genuine rocks, with no mysterious reaction at all.

"You profiteer! Pay me Xuanjing!"

Suddenly there was a quarrel ahead.

I saw two people standing in various positions in the distance and starting a "scuffle" full of soul cultivation characteristics. One of them was a vendor and the other was a customer.

It seems to be a dispute over fake goods.

Both of them were in the Object Control Realm, so they each used a flying sword to fight.

Gu Xia thought to herself: "What a coincidence, it saves me the trouble of taking the initiative."

He took out the timer and started timing, and at the same time, the surrounding soul cultivators gathered around him, proving once again that it is human nature to watch the excitement.

The two flying swords collided in the air, and the battle was very tense for a while.

"ah…"

Gu Xia couldn't help but yawned, and said in her heart: "Stop fighting, you can't kill someone like this!"

Da da da…

At this time, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a group of Wuling Guards rushed over.

"Stop! Private fighting is strictly prohibited in Taoyuan City!"

The captain at the head was a big man with a lot of energy and blood. He was full of murderous aura. He stood nearby and roared. The two flying swords were so charged by the warrior's energy and blood that they were almost crumbling and almost out of control.

Then the captain of the Wuling Guard came over and lifted the two soul cultivators one by one like little chickens.

"You two, now you have two choices!

1: Go to the grudge platform to sign the certificate of life and death, and then have a life-or-death showdown!

Two: Come with me to Taoyuan Prison! "

The two had a temporary quarrel, but when they heard about the situation of life and death, they both got cold feet and went to the prison obediently.

Seeing that the excitement was gone, people dispersed.

Gu Xia, who was on the street, glanced at the timer in his hand.

"In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Lingwei's reaction speed was quite fast."

He put away the timer and continued shopping.

…

Two days later at night, Gu Xia returned to the inn.

"How's the work I asked you to do, Xingchen?"

"Master, the modeling has been completed."

"let me see."

Soon the stars connected to Gu Xia's optic nerve, and a virtual model that only he could see unfolded before his eyes.

It was a model of a city covered by a dome. The model was quite detailed. Every building in the city had its own model. There were airships in the sky and teams of guards patrolling the roads.

This is the modeling of Taoyuan City, but only the outer city area.

The inner city, where the Peach Immortal Mansion Sect is located, is not open to outsiders for the time being. It will not be open to outsiders until the Peach Immortal Celebration officially starts in three days.

Gu Xia has visited almost the entire outer city in the past two days. He is like the collection vehicle of the real-life map in his previous life, using himself to collect data for the stars.

Now he has figured out the patrol patterns of Feizhou and Wulingwei, and their projected positions on the star model are similar to their positions in reality.

Moreover, during this period, Gu Xia witnessed several conflicts between soul cultivators, and also understood the reaction mechanism and speed of Wuling Guards and patrol flying boats.

After mastering these, he can start hunting with confidence.

"It starts tomorrow..."

Gu Xia opened the window and looked at Taoyuan City under the moonlit night. In his eyes, this place had become a hunting ground.

"But before that, let's try out the Xuanxiu magic circle."

He took out a gold and jade disc with a diameter of 9 inches and 9 from his storage bag. It was engraved with various mysterious patterns and there was a groove in the middle.

Gu Xia took out a mysterious crystal and inserted it, and the magic circle was activated.

For a moment, he closed his eyes and felt it, and sure enough, there were a lot of black energy particles in the air.

That array is called Xuanxiu Array, also called Fake Cave Heaven.

The function of this array is to enrich the profound energy of heaven and earth in a certain area, achieving an effect close to that of a heavenly paradise.

But as the so-called equivalent exchange means, to enrich the mysterious force, you have to pay for the mysterious force, so this magic circle needs to be inserted into the mysterious crystal to be used, and ordinary Xuanliu warriors cannot afford it.

If Gu Xia hadn't obtained a batch of mysterious crystals from Han Wenxuan before, he wouldn't have considered this array.

Moreover, with the "middleman" of the magic circle, every time a black crystal is paid, the black power converted into power by magicians during the validity period of the magic circle is often far less than the black power of one black crystal.

The efficiency of ordinary Xuanxiu magic circles is around 60%, and the efficiency of junk ones is even only 30%.

Gu Xia couldn't see any good products in Xianfu City before, so he never bought them.

Today, I saw that the refining shop under Taoxian Mansion sold a 70% efficient Xuanxiu array, so I spent 5 Xuan crystals to buy one.

As for why not directly absorb the power in the Xuan crystal for cultivation, why bother?

Because the power of Xuan crystal cannot be directly absorbed too much.

Xuan crystals are mined from the earth veins, and will be contaminated with a trace of earth evil spirit.

Xuanliu warriors can't use too many Xuan crystals, and there is not much impact.

Ruzang warriors can contact more Xuan crystals. If they absorb too much, the earth evil spirit in their bodies will gather.

This thing is not harmful, but it will make it difficult to break through the realm. It's like the innate unpolished jade is contaminated by the mortal world, and it is difficult to return.

(The blood demon evil spirit will not affect the difficulty of breaking through the realm, but the side effects of this thing are in a sense much more terrible than the earth evil spirit.)

In fact, all kinds of elixirs that accelerate cultivation and improve skills have similar side effects.

Taoxian Mansion's Lingtao is very popular because it can improve cultivation at no cost.

Of course, this no cost is only in the acquired realm.

All the cultivation gained by the cultivators through tricks will eventually become a barrier when they advance to the Xiantian realm, preventing them from entering the Xiantian realm.

Only the cultivation gained through meditation is the most in line with the will of heaven, so the ambitious Xuan cultivators will try their best to simulate natural cultivation.

Gu Xia’s talent is too poor, so he will take shortcuts without hesitation. No matter how thick the bottleneck of the realm and the Xiantian barrier are, he must be able to see them first.

However, since it can be avoided a little, it is better to avoid it as much as possible. He has already provoked the blood evil, so it is better to avoid this earth evil.

Then, Gu Xia closed his eyes and meditated in the magic circle area, allowing the stars to start practicing automatically and naturally.
