Suddenly, Ye Luo thought of his talisman craft and wanted to create a talisman that could temporarily enhance his spiritual power concentration.

At the very least, it should be undetectable to others.

Of course, the most straightforward method would be for Ye Luo to use the Seven-colored Power, but since using it diminishes it and it’s hard to come by, it wasn’t necessary for such a small matter.

Fortunately, Ye Luo already had some resources, supplemented by those prepared by Fang Yun, so he wasn’t lacking in resources.

Ye Luo wasn’t concerned with value; what mattered most to him was suitability!

Even if someone gave Ye Luo some higher-quality resources right now, he might not use them.

So suitability is the key.

Relying on his understanding of micro formations, Ye Luo quickly began to ponder, as he hadn’t mastered a talisman that could enhance internal spiritual power concentration before.

However, creating a new talisman is not that simple. Ye Luo failed several times and eventually had to give up.

Yet Ye Luo did not abandon his research; instead, he focused on developing a disguise technique!

Specifically, a talisman that wouldn’t change anything about Ye Luo but would attach to him like a Spirit Power Shield, making him undetectable to others.

After all, as long as the disguise works, it doesn’t matter what method is used!

Soon, Ye Luo found a suitable method and created this temporary talisman.

Unfortunately, due to Ye Luo’s limited understanding of talisman craft, he could only achieve this effect by linking three talismans.

The effect would only last for one hour, meaning Ye Luo had to complete his tasks within that time frame.

Otherwise, being discovered would be unpleasant!

Arriving outside the Yuntang, Ye Luo unabashedly activated the talisman and then boldly walked toward the city ahead.

As expected, the guards only glanced at Ye Luo without suspicion and let him through.

Once inside the city, Ye Luo wasted no time and headed straight for the auction house, as he needed things that only the auction house would have!

The common currency in the Sixth Region is Immortal Stones, as the Sixth Region is already a mid-level region, and according to the Martial Realm, mid-level regions are considered celestial!

Of course, this is just a term and has nothing to do with the gods and immortals Ye Luo heard about on Earth.

In the Martial Realm, terms like gods, immortals, demons, and monsters are simply classifications based on power.

Just like the upper-level regions, the top three regions of the Martial Realm, are referred to as divine!

Soon, Ye Luo found an auction house, though it wasn’t much of one due to its small venue, named the Tongyue Commerce Association!

Every time Ye Luo saw a commerce association, he was reminded of the Commerce Alliance, but now the Commerce Alliance wasn’t worth Ye Luo’s attention.

Entering the Tongyue Commerce Association, despite its small storefront, it had plenty of items for sale, giving Ye Luo the impression that it was just a general store!

Magical treasures, elixirs, cultivation techniques, talisman characters, and other oddities were all for sale here.

Of course, Ye Luo didn’t expect the items here to be of great quality, as it wasn’t a large commerce association.

However, even if the items here weren’t considered good in the Sixth Region, in Ye Luo’s eyes, they were absolutely treasures!

Ye Luo was first attracted to the martial arts manuals for sale.

Basic Alchemy Techniques!

Introduction to Talisman Script Technique!

Essential Knowledge for Illusionists!

Basic Classification and Composition of Spiritual Power!

Secret Realm Exploration Tips!

...

Looking at the array of cultivation techniques, Ye Luo was dumbfounded!

He had been searching for this foundational knowledge throughout the Ninth Region because of his weak foundation, leaving much unknown and requiring self-exploration.

But here, in a small shop in the Sixth Region, was such a comprehensive array of introductory knowledge!

How could Ye Luo not be shocked?

"Boss, how much are these books?"

Ye Luo couldn’t care about his original purpose anymore; these seemingly basic pieces of knowledge were exactly what he needed!

The shop was small, so the owner was just an old man, napping in his seat.

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, he offhandedly tossed a jade slip to him.

"Young man, this is what you want. Judging by your appearance, you probably don’t have much money. Fine, just give me one Immortal Stone and take it, but you should leave soon; if the city guards find you, they’ll surely arrest you."

Ye Luo was taken aback, looking at the old man, not knowing why he said such things.

"What, you thought your methods were clever? Linking three talismans to fool others? Do you think everyone’s blind? You wild folks are just not accepted by Tianzong, that’s all; it’s not a crime. Pay up and take your stuff!"

Ye Luo was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected that his supposedly perfect technique couldn’t fool anyone!

No wonder the guards eyed him!

In fact, with so many people passing through the city gate, why did the guards specifically notice him?

It was just that they had seen through Ye Luo and let him go!

Clearly, this old man had no ill intentions towards Ye Luo, so Ye Luo felt a sense of understanding and had an idea.

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance. However, I have a question, and I wonder if I might ask for your wisdom."

Ye Luo was very respectful; since this old man ran a shop alone and had a kind heart, Ye Luo didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

In fact, opportunities are always self-earned; if one comes and isn’t seized, it simply passes by!

The old man slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Luo: "Alright, ask away. I have nothing to do and don’t mind answering."

Ye Luo smiled slightly, stepped up to the old man, bowed respectfully, and then spoke: "Senior, indeed I just crossed the boundary domain to get here, but as far as I know, those from low-level regions to high-level regions are generally not discriminated against, and many forces are willing to accept such people. So why is it that the Tianzong Nation doesn’t, and instead turns us into wild folk?"

"Haha, that’s an interesting question. But what’s there to wonder? Let me ask you, if you were to choose, would you prefer to recruit disciples normally, treating them well and providing for their cultivation with no guarantee they’ll benefit the sect? Or would you prefer to take them in, sign a slave contract, and have them work for your benefit like cattle? Which would you choose?"
