Li Shiming even saw several stalls selling elixirs, which were also rare on Tianhai Island.
Alchemy on Tianhai Island rarely appears among casual cultivators. Even if there are casual cultivators who study alchemy, it is also the lowest level of elixir.
Most of the elixirs that are actually provided to monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining require the preparation of sea beast inner elixirs, which are not accessible to casual cultivators.
But here, he had already seen the pills provided to monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining, which were still on the stall.
Li Shiming walked through the first fixed store, which sold magical artifacts. He did not go in. He only used his spiritual sense to probe in and see clearly what was going on inside.
The store has a full range of magical instruments. From low-grade magical instruments to high-grade magical instruments, the prices are clearly marked on the first floor.
Each magic weapon has a picture scroll. The shape and size of the magic weapon are clearly marked on the scroll. There is a description of the magic weapon below, without any hiding. The spiritual stones for sale are also marked on it.
At a glance, it also blocked some monks who wanted to make a counter-offer because they didn't have enough spiritual stones.
He had seen the value of the magical artifacts, and there was only one word "expensive". The value of all the magical artifacts was 30% higher than that of Tianhai Island, especially the value of the high-grade magical artifacts was more than double.
Li Shiming passed several shops, and his understanding of the world of cultivating immortals in Beishu was also deepening.
It seems that because Beishu has more resources and a larger number of monks, the resources here are richer than those on Tianhai Island. However, because of the large number of monks, the competition for resources is more intense.
This makes the value of magic weapons higher, and only those with stronger magic weapons can gain the right to speak in the competition.
On the contrary, the price of cultivation resources, such as elixirs, is relatively low, which makes it easier for monks to cultivate.
On Xiangtian Island, only monks with sufficient talent can gain the right to join a sect. Other small sects have lower talent requirements, but those with talents such as Five Spiritual Roots can be recruited into small sects on Tianhai Island. Then He is also a handyman and has almost no qualifications for cultivation.
But in Beishu, as long as one is found to have talent, it is possible to practice.
Those with poor qualifications cannot join large sects, but many small sects or cultivating forces will accept children with spiritual roots.
No matter how bad his spiritual roots are, with the supply of elixirs, it is not a problem for him to become a monk in the early stage of Qi refining.
After becoming a monk in the early stage of Qi Refining, you can earn spiritual stones for the power, or have secondary jobs, or open mines, etc.
In areas with sufficient spiritual energy, mortals cannot survive for a long time. Physical labor such as spiritual mines is performed by monks.
While comparing, Li Shiming walked into a shop selling classics.
An old man at the fifth level of Qi Refining in the shop raised his eyes and glanced at him, without saying anything, and returned his gaze to the book in his hand.
All books are placed on the shelf behind the counter with their covers facing out. There is a description and price below each book.
There are various exercises and spells for the Qi refining period, as well as introductory exercises for each deputy position, and even cultivation experiences written by the monks themselves, etc. If he hadn't known that this was a classics shop, Li Shiming would have thought that he had entered a certain store. The sect’s hidden merit pavilion.
What surprised him the most was that there were several jade slips placed in the middle position, and the introduction below turned out to be about the foundation-building techniques.
Good guy, the foundation-building techniques are just there for the monks to buy.
But if you think about it, you know that the exercises that can be sold here will naturally not be very good. But for casual cultivators, as long as they have a foundation-building exercise, there is hope.
Li Shiming saw what he wanted, a book and map with a price tag of seventy spirit stones.
He could afford seventy spirit stones, but he still felt that prices in Beishu were high. If the book and map were placed on Tianhai Island, the most expensive ones would not exceed seven spirit stones.
"I want this book!" Li Shiming took seventy spirit stones and pointed at the book and map.
"This is a map perfected by the monks in our clan. It covers information as far as ten thousand miles away!" The old monk took down the book and looked at Li Shiming with a look in his eyes that told him he knew what he was doing.
After giving the spirit stone, Li Shiming took the book.
The map is comprehensive, not only showing the geographical situation, but also the distribution of various forces and the locations of various cities.
More importantly, this is a map mainly for monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and danger marks are marked in all areas beyond the realm of Qi Refining Stage monks.
Li Shiming nodded and put the map away.
Just as he was about to leave the store, he suddenly heard a roar outside, and it seemed that the ground in the city began to shake.
His expression changed, and the formation Starlight Sea sensed strong fluctuations in the formation, which was caused by the formation being attacked.
There was actually a monk forcibly attacking the formation outside Fang City, and the monk's strength must have exceeded the Qi refining stage, otherwise he would not be able to cause such a big movement.
"Don't act rashly. Everything will be solved by the Wei family monks!" The old monk was also frightened. He looked at Li Shiming warily and warned.
It seems that the old monk is worried that Li Shiming will take advantage of the situation, and Li Shiming's cultivation is much better than him.
Li Shiming didn't say much, he exited the shop, and the old monk quickly closed the door of the shop.
At this time, the market was in chaos, and all the shops were closing. The customers and stall owners in the market were all running, some were running towards the exit, and some were approaching Wei's residence, hoping to be there. Get safe shelter.
Li Shiming knew very well that it was best not to go to both sides at this time.
When the situation is unclear, the best option is to find a place to hide first.
His figure came to the valley wall, which was covered by the formation and prevented any monks from approaching.
However, he took strange steps with his feet and entered the formation along the direction of the spiritual power line.
Then he took out a few formation flags and stuck them on the valley wall, forming a small isolation formation centered on his body.
Because Wei's formation was used as a cover, it was not easy to discover his small isolation formation.
"Is this just watching from the sidelines?" Li Shiming said to himself with a smile.
He didn't have much to worry about. It was not like he had never seen a foundation-building monk before. Even in the worst case scenario, he could escape by relying on his sword escape and control of the formation.
At this time, Taniguchi's formation was broken, and three foundation-building monks led more than thirty Qi-refining monks into the city.
"The Tie family is doing business. All monks are not allowed to move. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!" A group of Qi Refining monks shouted loudly to the panicked monks at Taniguchi.
There were only a dozen monks in Taniguchi, and none of them were even in the foundation-building stage. Facing such a powerful Tie family, they were all frightened and could not dare to resist.
A group of Qi Refining monks from the Tie family easily subdued these monks without even a fight.
The door of the fixed shop was closed, but soon after the group of Qi Refining monks from the Tie family issued the warning, they opened the door again one by one, and the monks inside also came out, obediently tied up.
It was very quiet at Wei's station. Even the dozen or so monks who escaped were blocked from the station. No Wei monk came forward.
The Tie family monks moved very quickly and controlled all the monks. As long as they did not resist, there would be no killing.
This made the monks who were involved in the dispute feel a little relieved, but this time their property losses were doomed.
Each monk's storage bag and belongings were searched, leaving only clothes on his body.
The Tie clan's monks soon arrived outside the Wei clan's residence, with three foundation-building monks standing in three directions.
"Wei Lin, don't wait for the other monks of the Wei family. The Hu family has already been surrounding and killing them before we come!" the foundation-building monk in the middle said with his spiritual power.
"Have the Tie family and the Hu family united? This formation of my Wei family was built by a senior formation master. If you have the strength, attack slowly!" Wei Lin suppressed his angry voice from the station.
"Your Wei family occupies Fangshi, and you actually want to occupy the spiritual mine. Wei's ambition is too great. You are seeking death. Do you think you can stop us with this formation?" Tie family's foundation building period the monk shouted.
After saying that, the three foundation-building cultivators of the Tie family all used super-grade magic weapons to attack Wei's resident formation. Every attack would cause the formation to shake. However, after dozens of consecutive attacks, they still could not move. This formation cannot be broken.
Li Shiming, who was watching from the wall, saw the mystery. This formation was arranged very cleverly, and the core of it should be the spiritual veins.
Wei's station should have a high-grade spiritual vein, and a defensive formation with the above-grade spiritual vein as the core. As long as the upper limit of the attack does not exceed the power of the peak foundation building, it will be difficult to break through the protection of this formation.
This formation is not afraid of long-term attacks. As long as the spiritual power in the formation is not consumed all at once, the high-grade spiritual veins will continuously replenish the spiritual power in the formation.
No wonder the monk named Wei Lin was still able to remain calm when he heard that other monks in the family were being besieged. It turned out that he was protected by this formation.
Li Shiming became somewhat interested, mainly because the danger was not great. Only one of the three foundation-building monks was in the middle stage of foundation-building, and the strength of the other two foundation-building monks was only in the early stage.
The three foundation-building monks all majored in ordinary skills, which can be judged from the power of the attacks.
Since none of these monks are proficient in formations, he might have a chance to sneak into Wei's residence to take a look.
Whatever he wanted to do, he put away the formation flag and moved on the valley wall towards the direction of Wei's station.
He came to the junction between Wei's station and the valley wall. Further forward was the defensive formation of Wei's station.
Li Shiming carefully detected a trace of spiritual thought and contacted the defensive formation. Fortunately, there were three Tie family foundation-building monks who were constantly attacking the formation, making the person controlling the formation unable to detect other abnormalities, which gave him a chance.
IBMz15 analyzed the information sensed by the spiritual mind and started calculations based on the knowledge of the formation.
In Li Shiming's spiritual thoughts, he quickly received the data support provided by IBMz15, and the spiritual power lines revealed under his spiritual thoughts.
This formation was created by a senior formation master, and its level is extremely high. If it were a normal senior formation master, it would still be a lot of trouble to break through this formation.
Especially when the monks inside are not alerted, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Li Shiming was simple. When the three Tie family foundation-building monks attacked again, he stepped into the defensive formation.
There are countless spiritual power lines running through the formation. If any one of them is moved rashly, the result will be an attack from the formation.
He uses his spiritual thoughts to continuously guide the spiritual power lines around his body, which requires extremely complex calculations to support. Otherwise, as long as there is any slight conflict between the spiritual power lines and the entire formation, it will be discovered by the formation host.
In the short distance of one meter, Li Shiming and IBMz15 performed massive calculations together before entering the station quietly.
After passing through the strictest defense layer, the spiritual power lines inside are not that complicated, allowing him to travel through the spiritual power lines, which also greatly increases his movement speed.
Wei's station hired formation masters to arrange the layout. The entire station's buildings were built in the direction of the formation, and each building was a node.
Li Shiming didn't know what Wei's ability was to invite such a high-level formation master to take action. He was amazed by the formation here.
The monks from Wei's station are all gathered in one place, right at the entrance of the station, where there is a defensive formation facing the Tie's monks.
This gave Li Shiming more opportunities without worrying about being discovered.
The spiritual energy in the station is extremely rich, which prevents mortals from appearing in the station.
His figure flashed between the buildings, and his spiritual thoughts were carefully released, sweeping across every area.
The defensive formation of this Wei's garrison already has a general design drawing in IBMz15, and it is constantly being improved as he continues to extend his spiritual thoughts in the garrison.
Li Shiming also has a clear goal, unlike before.
He approached the mountain behind Wei's residence. The closer he got, the more cautious he became.
His spiritual sense sensed a slight fluctuation of aura, and there were actually monks stationed at the spiritual veins of Wei's residence.
He hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind immediately.
He threw the seventy-two formation flags in his hand. As soon as each formation flag touched the ground, it was integrated into the defensive formation of the station and disappeared.
Soon all the seventy-two formation flags disappeared, and the formation near the mountain was completely under his control, and the connection with the formation leader was also cut off. The seventy-two formation flags continuously sent messages to the formation leader. Falsified information.
After doing this, he walked towards the wall of the back mountain. A secret door hidden by the formation did not stop him at all, allowing him to walk into it.
This is a cave, and the spiritual vein is in the center of the cave hall, where a monk in the early stages of foundation building is sitting cross-legged.
"Who are you?" The monk was startled, raised his head, and looked at Li Shiming, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil, and asked in a deep voice.
He saw that Li Shiming was a Qi Refining cultivator and something he could control, so he didn't take action immediately, but instead asked.
However, Li Shiming saw the aging of this monk in the early stage of foundation building. The faces of monks generally age very slowly, and monks generally do not pay much attention to their appearance, so they rarely practice techniques to maintain their appearance, which is a waste of time. own spiritual power.
The aging of this monk in the early stages of foundation building is not just about his appearance, but the exhaustion of his vitality, and he is about to reach the end of his life.
