The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles-Chapter 619 - 311 Qinglian Marketplace

Chapter 619: Chapter 311 Qinglian Marketplace

Through a synthesis of various pieces of information, Lin Yi inferred that the testing and examination of the Tai Xuan Dao Palace indeed existed in reality. After all, this kind of thing could easily be verified by asking someone, and no organization, no matter how powerful, could possibly bribe everyone.

He suspected that among the Spirit City Guards responsible for the testing here, there must be members of the hostile organization of the Creation Method, and some might even hold high ranks.

After all, in the visions of Predict Crisis, there were quite a few Refining Void Cultivators wearing armor, and the so-called test would certainly be tampered with. Instead of testing one’s abilities, it was more about testing the spiritual power of Creation.

Those people could coax Cultivators of the Creation Method into their ranks, so detecting traces of practicing the Creation Skill would presumably be a simple matter for them.

However, he was not going to run away just because of this little issue. With the protective cover provided by the title Path of Survivor, no one would be able to detect the aura of the Creation Method.

In the time before those Tai Xuan Divine City Guards arrived, he would also use the title of Predict Crisis every day to foresee any potential dangers that might come his way.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi decided to get a detailed map of the area first. Even if he had to make a run for it in the future, he would at least know the direction and not blunder into the territories of the Demon Tribe or Demon race.

He did not bother wearing a mask or changing into inconspicuous clothing; it wasn’t necessary. The identity of Invincible East was not one to hide easily.

After leaving the Flying Spirit Hall, he recalled the map of Qinglian Spirit City from the Jade Slip, and flew on his Flying Sword toward the eastern market. The Demon Tribe was in the north, while the location of the Demon race was still unknown to him, as he had not yet seen a map of the entire Spirit Profound Realm.

If they were to the south, that would be somewhat tragic. With the Demon Tribe in the north and the Demon race in the south, if they formed an encirclement and trapped the Human race inside, relocating would be impossible.

On the way, he encountered many Cultivators flying on their swords, a testament to the bustling activity of the Spirit City.

Despite the numerous Cultivators flying in the sky, there were no collisions. Those able to control swords here were at least Golden Core Monks with very sharp reflexes. They could naturally avoid each other and not crash head-on.

Moreover, the Spiritual Artifacts used by Foundation Building cultivators already possessed a certain level of intelligence, not to mention the weapons of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators. Even without control, the Flying Swords could fly safely.

This market was built against a mountain, with many of the stones in the cliff hollowed out to construct various shops, looking quite magnificent.

Most of the Cave Mansions in the city were located to the south, far from the lands of the Demon Tribe, and very safe. He guessed their prices would be quite attractive.

Previously, upon the city walls, Lin Yi could see high mountains piercing the clouds on both sides. The Qinglian Spirit City was built within a mountain valley, relying on the natural fortress of the mountains to prevent the Demon Tribe from encircling from the sides and only allowing them to attack from the city gates.

Other Spirit Cities were likely in similar situations, each benefiting from geographical advantages. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to withstand the combined forces of the Demon race and Demon Tribe for so long.

Since it was his first visit, Lin Yi descended at the entrance of the market. As soon as he entered, some people gathered around. “Senior, it’s your first time here, right? Whatever you need, I can introduce you to the most suitable shops, guaranteed to have the lowest prices in the whole market.”

Looking at the people who crowded around, many of whom were Foundation Building cultivators, he couldn’t help but feel that it truly lived up to being the Upper Realm. Here, in the Heng Yuan World, Foundation Building Cultivators were esteemed, yet in the Upper Realm, they were competing to be guides.

The life of the lower-tier cultivators in the Spirit Profound Realm wasn’t that comfortable either. But anyway, it was still more comfortable than the life of Qi Refining Cultivators in the Lower Realm, especially since the Spiritual Energy that permeated the city was enough to satisfy the Cultivation of both Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Lin Yi glanced around and noticed a girl in the Qi Refining middle stage being pushed out by the crowd and falling to the ground. He let out a cold snort, and all the surrounding Cultivators turned pale and stood still, not daring to approach further.

He walked past these cultivators and helped the young girl up. She appeared to be just over ten years old and looked very well-behaved.

Seeing him come to help her, the girl quickly shook her hands, “Senior, there’s no need, no need. I can stand up by myself.”

Lin Yi, nonetheless, pulled the girl to her feet. “What I want to do isn’t something you can stop with just a few words,” he said.

Then, he continued to ask, “Are you familiar with this market?”

The girl’s face lit up with excitement as she eagerly replied, “I am, very familiar! Shops selling Pills are more common on the left side of the market, while towards the right, there are more stores selling various grades of Spiritual Artifacts and Cultivation Technique Manuals. The middle area has a more assorted variety. It includes all kinds of rare and precious materials.”

“Good, then follow me,” Lin Yi said with a nod. Apart from buying a map, he also wanted to get a sense of the prices of various Pills in the Spirit Profound Realm.

“Thank you, Senior. Just, there is a fee of five Lower-grade Spirit Stones for guiding…” the girl hesitated before saying softly, but when she saw Lin Yi’s brow furrow slightly, she quickly corrected herself, “Three, three will do.”

“As long as you satisfy me, Spirit Stones are not a problem,” Lin Yi said indifferently.

“Thank you, Senior. May I ask if you came to the market to buy or to sell?” the girl asked promptly, bowing with her hands clasped.

“Let’s just look around first, and head for the Pills,” Lin Yi decided after thinking for a moment, not in a rush to buy the map and wanting to explore the market first.
