Mortal Cultivation: I Have a Mirror of Absurdity

Chapter 23 23 Kuixing Island (modified)

When he first arrived in Chaotic Star Sea, Wang Geng decided to visit some small islands where monks opened shops.

One is to find out some information about various aspects of the Immortal Cultivation World in Chaos Xinghai, and the other is to see if there is any chance to buy some foundation-building elixirs or herbs.

The Immortal Cultivation World of Luan Xinghai was completely different from Tiannan in all aspects. He had to reorganize the details of various Immortal Cultivation knowledge, so as to avoid making some ridiculous mistakes in future cultivation.

So in the next month or so, Wang Geng followed the map and found more than a dozen inhabited islands. On six of them, there were small grocery stores built by monks.

Wang Geng went to the island and visited these shops one by one. While inquiring about the information, he also recorded the prices of various items and materials in the shops on a jade slip for future reference.

It's a pity that none of these small shops have elixirs or herbs that monks in the foundation-building stage can use.

During this period, Wang Geng also found out a piece of news that surprised him.

Fortunately, the elixirs in the early stage of foundation building are very abundant in Chaotic Star Sea, so he can practice the mountain-moving method to the first level without any burden, and then advance to the middle stage of foundation building. Surprisingly, in the middle and late stage of foundation building, The elixir is extremely rare like Tiannan, and it can even be said to be hard to find.

According to common sense, Luan Xinghai has already used demon pills to replace the herbs from the previous year as the main medicine. Pills in the middle and late stages of foundation building should not be so scarce.

After some on-site investigation, Wang Geng found that he was completely wrong to think so.

Refining the foundation-building elixir requires the use of level five demon elixirs.

The fifth-level monsters have a strength comparable to that of human monks in the early stages of pill formation. Only a few late-stage foundation-builder monks or a dozen powerful mid-stage monks can join forces to kill monsters and obtain pills. As for early-stage monks, most teams hunt them. I won't take you with me at all when I'm a monster.

Therefore, monks who are not strong enough and want to obtain elixirs can only take the old path and continue to look for herbs from previous years to refine elixirs.

As we all know, the concentration of spiritual energy in a place determines the number of years that herbs can grow there.

On most islands in the Chaos Star Sea, the concentration of spiritual energy is enough to produce herbs that are two to three hundred years old. These herbs can be used to refine early-stage foundation-building elixirs. Therefore, there is no shortage of early-stage elixirs in the Chaos Star Sea, but they can produce three to four hundred years old elixirs. The number of spiritual veins in Lingshan that are older than 400 years old has suddenly decreased by more than half, and there are only a few fairy mountain caves left that can produce herbs that are more than 400 to 500 years old.

Without exception, those Lingshan Spiritual Veins and Fairy Mountain Cave Mansion are all occupied by some medium and large forces in Chaotic Star Sea.

For example, the Star City occupied by the Star Palace, the Inner Twelve Star Island and the Outer Twenty-Four Star Island are all full of spiritual energy. It is natural to circle several medicinal gardens and produce some medicinal herbs that are three to five hundred years old.

But Star Palace will never give away these medicinal herbs and mid-to-late stage elixirs, nor will other forces. They will only provide most of the resources to the monks in the sect, and then the remaining few resources can There is a chance that it will leak out and benefit many small forces and casual cultivators in Chaotic Star Sea.

Even so, the prices of these outflow resources are often sky-high, prohibiting many casual cultivators, and it also requires considerable luck to encounter them.

It's too early to think about these troubles now, so Wang Geng frowned and put them down immediately.

He had better buy enough elixirs first and practice until he reaches the middle stage of foundation building before worrying about this matter.

After collecting enough information, Wang Geng went straight to Kuixing Island.

Wang Geng had not seen many monks' escaping light during the several days of flying with his royal weapon. From this, it can be seen that although Kuixing Island is one of the twenty-four star islands outside the inner star sea, it is located in the southwest border. There are actually not many monks there.

It wasn't until a huge island appeared in front of him that Wang Geng saw many monks flying past with their weapons in the sky around him.

Kuixing Island has arrived.

No one knows how big Kuixing Island is. They only know that there are dozens of cities and towns on the island, with a population of tens to nearly one million.

The most famous one on the island is Qingyun Mountain. The average height of the mountain is over a thousand meters. A looming cloud layer has been entrenched on the mountainside for many years. Only the three peaks on the mountain, Tianzhu Peak, Tianmen Peak and Tianxiao Peak, can steadily reach the top of the clouds.

Looking from a distance, the three peaks are illuminated by the sun and emit bursts of dazzling golden light. People can't help but marvel, this is really a fairyland and a fairyland scenery.

Although the scenery was beautiful, Wang Geng did not stay much outside Kuixing Island. Instead, he bypassed the three giant peaks in his sight and headed west.

After Qingyun Mountain and further to the west, there is Kuixing City, which is the destination of his trip.

Wang Geng came to Kuixing City, firstly, to buy a map of the entire Chaotic Star Sea, and secondly, to see if he could buy a sufficient amount of early-stage foundation-building elixirs here.

The map he bought on Huangsha Island earlier was a map of Sanxing Island. Wang Geng would not stay at Sanxing Island for too long and would be going somewhere else soon, so he had to buy a map of the entire Chaos Star Sea in advance.

As for the pills for the initial stage of foundation building, there is no rush, but if you can buy them here, you don’t have to wait until the next day.

Kuixing City is a stone city made entirely of white stone walls. It occupies a vast area and is extremely huge. Nearly half of the people on the island live in Kuixing City.

Kuixing Island does not have an island protection formation, but Kuixing City does have a city protection formation, and there is a no-fly ban.

Still more than two hundred meters away from Kuixing City, Wang Geng felt the shuttle magic weapon under his feet sink, and then slowly fall to the ground.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were mortal guards checking the island's residence token. Since Wang Geng had just arrived and was a monk, he was guided by the guards to a two-story stone building next to the city gate.

Entering the stone building, Wang Geng saw a bearded monk in his fifties or sixties, sitting cross-legged behind a desk with his eyes closed and meditating.

After hearing his footsteps, the man suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two stern gazes as bright as lightning. He was obviously using the Sky Eye Technique to observe Wang Geng's cultivation.

"I wonder why this strange fellow Taoist comes to my Kuixing Island?"

Monk Huabeard is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, one level higher than Wang Geng. He is also a Star Palace cultivator, so he speaks with a natural arrogance.

"Fellow Taoist, I'm here to invite you. I'm passing through Guidao on my way down. I want to go to the market to buy some items. I'd like to ask you, Taoist, for your convenience."

"According to the rules of this island, foundation-building monks need to pay twenty spirit stones when entering the city, and then issue a voucher. They can stay for up to three days during this period, and must leave after three days. If they change their minds midway and want to stay in the city, they can return here. Register again. If there are no objections, fellow Taoists can fill in the form, pay the spirit stones, and receive the voucher."

After finishing speaking, the bearded monk placed a paper form and a pen on the desk and pushed it to Wang Geng's side.

After Wang Geng completed the form and handed in the spirit stone, the bearded monk handed over another blue talisman.

It is a monk's identity certificate. It can be worn on the wrist and can be shown when inspected by patrolling monks in Kuixing City.

After three days, the talisman will burn into a pile of ash.

After walking out of the stone building, Wang Geng took the blue talisman in his hand and looked left and right, but he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know how such a simple thing could prevent counterfeiting, but the Star Palace could use it for thousands of years. For a long time, it is enough to show that it has a very deep knowledge and is not afraid of others imitating it.

After entering the city gate, Wang Geng found that the road under his feet was paved with bluestone, and the houses on both sides were also built with blue and white stone. The mottled marks on it showed that Kuixing City had experienced a long time.

Because Kuixing City is very big and cannot fly with weapons, it took Wang Geng half a day to reach Tiandu Street.

This is where Kuixing Daofang City is located. There are hundreds of shops of various sizes. There are a dazzling array of all kinds of immortal cultivation items. The varieties are so vast that no one can count them all.

Wang Geng was walking on the streets of Tiandu and saw countless monks of all kinds coming and going. It was extremely lively and the noise was even worse than that of a busy city on earth.

He did not stop in front of some small shops, but went directly to the center of Tiandu Street. There were several tall stone buildings here, which were decorated in an extraordinary manner.

One of the stone buildings called the "White Water Tower" was the closest, so Wang Geng walked in casually.
