SFS Chapter 108 Changes in the Market
Chapter 108 Changes in the Market
He originally thought that such an unimaginable cultivation method as the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" would require at least three or four years to initially complete the transition to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Unexpectedly, with the continuous nourishment of the Golden Ancient Tree Mark, the ample supply of mid-grade wood-attribute pills, and his own unwavering Dao heart, he succeeded ahead of schedule!
His mind sank into his sea of consciousness, gazing once more at the cyan scroll, feeling the new power flowing through his body.
The initial miraculous effects brought about by the Qi Refining Chapter of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" unfolded clearly in his mind like a scroll.
The prototype of the Azure Emperor's Dao Body has been completely transformed, with its flesh, bones, and tendons undergoing a complete transformation, containing boundless and immortal vitality.
A severed finger can regenerate in three days, and the recovery speed of ordinary internal and external injuries is several times faster than that of similar injuries.
Lifespan has increased by 40%!
This isn't even the full extent of the benefits of the technique; it's just the most basic boost it comes with.
With a slight sense, Yang Changsheng clearly knew that his lifespan, originally granted by the Longevity Body Refinement Realm, was about 514 years remaining.
Now, it has skyrocketed to a staggering 716 years!
This far exceeds the lifespan limit of a Core Formation cultivator who consumes longevity-extending treasures and cultivates special techniques.
After the transformation of his magical power, the total amount of the Azure Emperor's magical power was twice that of the seventh level of Qi Refining before the transformation, and the purity was also vastly different.
Its recovery speed is astonishing, as if it possesses an inexhaustible source of life.
Furthermore, the amplification of the power of wood-based spells reaches a terrifying 70%.
This means that when he casts an ordinary entanglement spell, its toughness and binding force may be comparable to someone else's mid-grade or even high-grade wood-type spell.
The Azure Emperor's longevity magic also possesses extremely pure vitality, making it highly effective for healing injuries and even more effective for nourishing spiritual plants.
This cultivation method can be said to have been tailor-made for him, and he has a premonition that after he completes the Foundation Establishment, the Azure Emperor's Dao Body will be nearly fully formed and will undergo unpredictable changes.
After all, Yang Changsheng is an extremely special longevity body due to the imprint of the Golden Ancient Tree. The combination of the two is naturally not as simple as one plus one being greater than two.
Yang Changsheng stepped out of the training room.
The rich spiritual energy of the plants and trees flowing through the courtyard seemed to come alive and converge on him.
Immediately, under the influence of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" circulating within his body, it was easily absorbed and transformed into a pure, vibrant, verdant magical power that nourished his limbs and bones.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the surging magical power in his meridians that far exceeded what one should have at the seventh level of Qi Refining, as well as the abundant blood and qi that made him a powerful physique far superior to others of the same level.
Now, his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining has been stabilized. The transformation of his cultivation of the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" has brought not only a qualitative change in his magical power, but also a subtle improvement in his life level.
A longer lifespan brings with it the unique serenity and tranquility of an immortal.
The mailbox next to the courtyard gate had a few specks of dust on its blue wooden casing.
Yang Changsheng flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of Azure Emperor's magic power, as subtle as a spring breeze, swept over, clearing away all the dust.
I opened the mailbox, and inside lay a pale blue communication talisman.
After activation, Ye Qingxian's lively voice, tinged with a hint of reproach, resounded in his mind:
"Brother Changsheng! When are you coming out of seclusion? Are you practicing some amazing magic again? You've been gone for over four years! The proprietress of Yunhua Pavilion is really worried about you!"
"Hmph, this time it's my turn to host the gathering! Jade Palace 'Listening to the Rain Pavilion,' you choose the time, see you there! Qingxian."
Her words remained lively and unrestrained, as if one could see the bright smile of a young girl.
Yang Changsheng smiled slightly. This girl, eight years have passed, but her personality hasn't changed at all.
He took out a communication talisman and infused it with a trace of magic power: "Understood. If you are free tomorrow at noon, meet me at the Jade Palace."
The talisman immediately transformed into a faint light and disappeared into the sky.
Pushing aside the barriers around the courtyard, I stepped into the market street.
The cacophony of voices and the rich spiritual atmosphere rushed towards me.
Four years of seclusion without leaving the house is not a long time for a cultivator's long lifespan, but for a rapidly developing market, the changes are already quite significant.
"Have you heard? That newly opened 'Hundred Refinements Pavilion' in the west of the city is said to have a master craftsman from the Lu family overseeing it... their first-grade magic weapons are of extremely high quality!"
"That's right. Ever since Fairy Qianxue broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and killed the Wang family's patriarch, the Lu family has been investing more and more here, and the market is becoming more and more prosperous."
"Sigh, the Blood Wolf Gang, who caused such panic a couple of years ago... I heard they've completely disappeared?"
"Shh! Watch your words! Didn't the enforcement team say that although they didn't catch Fan Tu and his gang, didn't they wipe out the 'Black Demons' group of cultivators who committed a bloody crime in Liuyun Immortal City last year? Right outside our market, at 'Fallen Eagle Gorge,' the leader, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, was personally killed by Captain Lu Yuanfeng! Now the market is much safer inside and out..."
"That's right. The Lu family's power is undeniable, and the surrounding Foundation Establishment families no longer dare to provoke them."
The intermittent chatter of passersby reached Yang Changsheng's ears. He walked slowly, seemingly casually, but his divine sense was like an invisible spider web, taking in all the information around him.
The market has indeed returned to normal, and is even more prosperous than it was a few years ago, which shows the Lu family's control over Qianxue Market.
The Blood Wolf Gang, like a shadow sinking into the deep sea, lay dormant for the time being.
However, the Lu family's enforcement team's annihilation of another notorious group of cultivator robbers, the "Black Demons," undoubtedly greatly deterred the villains and reassured the people.
His destination was "Wanbaolou", located in the core area of the market.
After breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he spent more than two years focusing on cultivating the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture," producing almost nothing except for the necessary consumption of pills.
The puppets accumulated before the seclusion, as well as some substandard pills obtained from refining waste pills, spirit fish, and medicinal herbs, all need to be disposed of in exchange for spirit stones.
Cultivating the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture" consumes a great deal of mid-grade wood-attribute pills. Whether it's purchasing magic artifacts, refining more powerful puppets, or preparing for potential battles, a sufficient reserve of spirit stones is required.
The first-floor steward of Wanbaolou was still the same smiling steward, Qian.
Upon seeing Yang Changsheng, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
More than four years ago, this regular customer came once and then almost never left the house, presumably he was in seclusion.
Now that we meet again, his aura is indeed more composed and restrained, indicating that he has made a small breakthrough.
It gives people a completely different feeling than before, like an ancient tree with vitality inside, calm on the outside but containing a powerful force inside.
However, Steward Qian quickly put on a professional smile: "Fellow Daoist Yang, it's been many years! You're even more impressive than before! What good stuff have you brought this time?"
Yang Changsheng didn't say much and handed over the prepared storage bag.
Deacon Qian scanned the area with his divine sense and quickly made a mental estimate.
The first-tier mid-grade puppet archers did not have any breakthroughs in skill, but Yang Changsheng's craftsmanship has always been solid.
Compared to the previous quantities, the total value isn't astonishing, but for a Qi Refining cultivator who has been in seclusion for several years, it's still a decent income.
