Standing still in front of the bookshelf, Xie Duanyang browsed through it twice calmly, and then randomly selected this thread-bound manuscript to look through.
This is the life note of a casual cultivator. There is nothing unusual about this, except that the other person is actually a rare Buddhist cultivator in the south of the world.
This monk's cultivation level is not very high. In his whole life, he has only practiced Qi for the eleventh or second level at most, and has not even reached the level of foundation building.
This man came from a poor family and was abandoned by his parents early. He was sent to a small temple in the mountains to become a novice monk and do some work like carrying firewood, carrying water and sweeping the floor.
Then by chance, he completed the scriptures passed down in Juan Temple that no one could understand.
Relying on one or two surgical techniques, he became famous in neighboring counties and was widely supported by wealthy businessmen and officials.
The dilapidated temple that was originally neglected became prosperous, and people came and went, and it was very happy for a while.
It's a pity that his qualifications are not very good, and his understanding is only average. There are very few Buddhist practitioners here in Tiannan, and there is no one with whom to exchange experiences.

Soon, Master Fayuan's practice fell into a state of stagnation, with no progress for more than ten years.
So after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind to give up everything and enter the world to experience the mortal world in order to achieve a breakthrough in his state of mind.
On the way, he met two companions.
A hero who was originally a martial arts warrior, after cultivating secular martial arts to the extreme, he accidentally received the inheritance of this casual cultivator and officially entered the door of cultivation.
There is also a civil servant who received the emperor's order to cultivate the Ministry of Ceremony. He is a well-read man, and he also realized the principles of spiritual practice from a rare book in the Taoist Canon, and then abandoned his official position to practice Taoism.
Although the three people have different temperaments, their interests are the same. They have become close friends and have traveled together for more than ten years.
He traveled to most of the famous mountains and rivers in the neighboring two countries, occasionally revealed his supernatural powers, and left many deeds.
In the end, because of his excellent qualifications, Wen Chen also got a chance to be immortal, so he was chosen by a high-level monk and introduced to the mountain gate.
The heroic martial artist was injured in a fight in his early years and his foundation was injured, so he died in a temple.
In the end, only the monk Fayuan was left. He had no intention of traveling again, so he simply stayed in the temple and recorded his experiences in those years one by one.
Most of the travel notes and records in the shop have similar origins, and I don’t know how they collected them.
Although his knowledge of Qi training is of no use to Xie Duanyang now.
He was somewhat interested in the Buddhist techniques practiced by this person, but unfortunately there were only fragments of words in the transcript, which were difficult to connect. They were probably taken away by the Bee Sting organization.
Although Taixu Mirror has the ability to deduce and complete, it is also affected by Xie Duanyang's own knowledge.
Buddhist practice is very different from ordinary practices. If you want to deduce it from scratch, you don’t know how much time and effort it would take.
Although they have tried their best to hide their spiritual consciousness, the monks seem to be much faster than ordinary people.
After a while, he flipped through a thick travel journal and took out a Taoist book from a nearby bookshelf that could be used for true practice.
There is a high probability that it is close to the boundless sea, or it is related to the legacy of the Lanhai Sect.
The Taoist books here include not only martial arts, but also magic spells, with the largest number related to the water system.
There were quite a few low-level spells among them, which he had never seen before.
It was only then that I saw that the bookstore thief was coming.
Those worthless travel notes, etc., can be read for a long time on a piece of spiritual stone.
But for truly precious magic books, although the main text is not covered up, it is displayed openly.
But the most useful tips, experiences, etc. are completely blank.
For casual cultivators without a master, even if they obtain a Taoist book, they will have to spend ten times a hundred times more energy and time to complete it.
What surprised Xie Duanyang the most was that this bookstore actually had the unique inheritance of spiritual arts related to Mulan Grassland.
Unlike Tiannan monks who generally use jade slips as carriers, those magicians are accustomed to using bone fragments, spiritual wood, stones, etc.
The shape looks much rough in appearance, but it also has a simple and primitive beauty in it.
However, the price tag was not as expensive as he imagined, and it was far inferior to other Taoist books.
The system of spiritual arts was developed by the magicians of Mulan Grassland after countless thousands of years, so it is naturally unique and mysterious.
Although many monks in Tiannan are interested in the ability of magicians to easily perform extremely powerful spells.
However, even though the two sides fought for a long time and captured many prisoners from each other, they still failed to crack it.
The prices of these things are naturally greatly reduced because of this, and they are no better than those of landscape travel notes.
Although he was quite curious about this thing, Xie Duanyang didn't show it.
I just took down a few books on spells and spells, and randomly selected two eye-closing techniques and put them aside, and then I picked up a notebook and read it with relish.
This time, not much time passed.
He heard footsteps outside the door from far to near, and then the light in the room dimmed.
After observing the area for a long time and confirming that it was safe, Yao Wanli finally walked in.
He had seen someone come in a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He just walked around the room, stopping from time to time to reach out and look at the cover once or twice.
There was nothing unusual about it, but Xie Duanyang knew that was not the case.
Soon, Yao Wanli had several books of different thicknesses in his hand, stacked together and headed towards the owner of the bookstore.
The white-haired old man barely opened his eyelids and looked at him lazily.
Then he looked in the direction of Xie Duanyang. A halo of light that was difficult to discern with the naked eye spread out from his fingertips, shrouding the two of them and concealing their movements.
There are formation restrictions in the store that limit the detection of spiritual consciousness, but this is not just for Xie Duanyang himself, the shop owner and Yao Wanli are also among them and cannot be spared.
Yao Wanli has barely entered the middle stage of foundation building. The old man is better than him, but he is still limited. The Danjie monk is already a high-level person, so it is impossible to send him to do this kind of joint work.
How could the two of them notice something strange at this time?
While Xie Duanyang was just reading, he was also secretly deducing the changes in restrictions based on his own knowledge of formations.
Although he failed to completely crack and master it, he still gained some success. His spiritual thoughts expanded and penetrated the magic barrier silently, giving a thorough view of the scene inside.
The rustling sound of turning the paper was heard from time to time, and Yao Wanli's fingers seemed to have a rhythm, passing over certain words to form sentences.
The same is true for the old man in white.
Soon, the two sides had exchanged as many as seven or eight sentences.
Jingping paid the bill and put the Taoist book into his storage bag. Yao Wanli turned around and left with a slightly complicated expression.
After the old man looked at Xie Duanyang casually again, he fell down on the recliner, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
Seeing that a cup was approaching, he would continue to close his eyes and rest his mind.
Xie Duanyang then took his travel notes and the Taoist books he had selected before to pay the bill and left, while thinking about what to do next.
This Bee Sting organization is more rigorous than he imagined. It is obviously similar to the center of information turnover and processing, but it may not be directly connected to Yao Wanli's personal connections.
Although he was confident that Yao Wanli could not see through the disguise of his own secret skills, he had finally met him face to face.
His spiritual sense is still very keen. If he continues to chase and meet, he might find something...
Fortunately, he had already gotten a glimpse of the context, and judging from the information exchanged between the two, what Yao Wanli said before was basically true.
"If he wants to reconnect with Stinger, he still needs to go through some tests and certifications..."
Making a decision secretly in his heart, Xie Duanyang stepped out of the bookstore.
Although Yao Wanli's figure had long since disappeared without a trace, it was hard for him to track him, not to mention that he already knew where he was going.
Zhenglanhai Market is where Tian Xinju is among the four major forces.
Wangshui Country is within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Path Alliance, and this market is formed by the gathering of casual cultivators.
Therefore, the four major forces also have their corresponding backgrounds.
Although it is not directly shown on the surface, after being in the market for a long time, some gossip will naturally spread.
The two special businesses of Tumu Pavilion and Caomu Garden are respectively the construction, smelting and cultivation of medicinal materials and the sale of spiritual grains. Behind them, they are inextricably linked to the Righteous Alliance.
Generally, even if a casual cultivator is lucky enough to master its inheritance, it will be difficult for them to become big.
Although there is no Nascent Soul in Wanghai Tower, there are seven high-level casual cultivators at the peak of the late Dan Formation period, and their business scope is all-encompassing.
In addition, it is rumored that there is support from the Nine-Nation Alliance, and the real profits and gains are not mentioned, but the business is spread the most.
If one of the seven people is officially promoted to Yuanying and completely integrates Wanghai Tower, he will definitely become the leader of the four families.
Of course, it does not rule out that it will be suppressed in advance before it develops.
Tianxinju is named after its owner, and its business is the smallest among the four.
Tianxin layman is one of the few Nascent Souls among casual cultivators, and has always had great prestige and appeal among casual cultivators.
It's just that he has been practicing in seclusion for many years, and all his chores are taken care of by his three disciples.
Unexpectedly, it has such a close connection with bee stings.
Master Tianxin is a Nascent Soul, or a Nascent Soul who came from the lax cultivator. He must have a good artistic career at hand. Xie Duanyang immediately stopped the idea of continuing to follow Yao Wanli.
After thinking about it for a moment, he flew away in the direction of Wanghai Tower.
There is no Yuanying here, and the business is the most complicated. It is impossible to find one or two things of interest.
As for the Tumu Pavilion, Xie Duanyang was already good at refining weapons. He would not be willing to show off anything he liked.
He then wandered around, not to mention taking care of the vegetation.
Big.
This was Xie Duanyang’s first impression of Wanghai Tower.
It is said to be a building, but it is actually closer to a whole building community, with pavilions and pavilions connected to each other.
It's not that high, it's only six floors.
However, it occupies a very large area and cuts off the middle of the mountain peak, and is located at the original halfway point of the mountain.
Countless monks who are regarded as gods by mortals are walking in and out of the building like ants.
There are those who buy their favorite things, but there are also those who are disappointed and leave empty-handed.
This time, Xie Duanyang concentrated his magic power to the level of the early stage of foundation building, blending in with the crowd and walking in without showing off.
"Senior."
Almost as soon as he entered, a low-level female cultivator came forward and led him further inside to separate himself from the Qi-training cultivators outside.
However, Xie Duanyang raised his hand, stopped his movement, and dismissed him coldly on the pretext that he didn't need it.
After the peripheral objects for Qi Practitioners were screened through the eyes of the offering palm, there were basically no good ones.
In terms of the number and quality of monks, there are many battlefields in Jinguyuan at Wanghailou.
However, because of the fight with the demon cultivators, what was basically brought in for sale were all kinds of fighting-related magic weapons, elixirs, talismans and other things that could directly increase combat power.
Unlike here, where things from all over the world were gathered together in one place, it was still very eye-opening for him.
After turning around and picking up dozens of materials that were either not popular or even he didn't recognize, Xie Duanyang generously summoned another young female cultivator in gorgeous clothes to take him in.
Walking through the corridor, you get a view every step of the way.
Xie Duanyang did not walk in a hurry, but observed the surrounding pattern with great interest.
It is impossible for a place like Wanghai Tower not to have a formation.
It's just that it is not completely covered by one large formation, but is made up of a dozen small and medium-sized formations with similar attributes.
It's not that powerful, but it's just a little dull.
It's okay to resist the monks who have reached the level of forming pills, but I'm afraid they may not be able to cope with the old monster Nascent Soul.
With just one glance, Xie Duanyang understood that the Wanghailou family was not monolithic, but rather that they were wary of each other.
It seems that the strength is not weak, but if something happens, it may fall apart immediately. I don’t know why it can actually compete with the other three for so long.
Seeing the door guarded by the two foundation-building monks approaching, Xie Duanyang was still not in a hurry to enter, but instead asked the female cultivator who was leading the way.
"I wonder if there are any secret shops in this market?"
As he spoke, Xie Duanyang slowly rotated several spiritual stones in his hand.
This type of question has obviously been asked to the female cultivator many times and she answered it without thinking.
It is impossible for such a large market not to have similar places, and there are even four companies including Wanghailou supporting its opening.
The secret shops here are also different from those in Fangcheng outside.
In the secret shop outside, you must be able to find some exquisite products that are not available in the shops in the city, so that you can continue to attract monks to come in.
However, the value of the goods in the secret shops in Lanhai Market may not be as good as those on display outside, and the prices have dropped by at least 30%.
The reason is the simplest. The secret shops here are basically responsible for dealing with magic weapons and spiritual objects with shady origins.
Many of them were obtained by casual cultivators or sect monks who killed people and seized treasures.
The leaders of the four factions will not take the initiative to identify the offerings, etc. The background behind things is especially taboo to inquire about.
Loss and profit all depend on the monk's own vision.
However, not everyone is qualified to be invited into the secret shop.
Foundation building is the first threshold. Cultivation alone is not enough.
You have to spend a certain amount of time or a certain amount in Wanghailou or the other three houses.
Ordinarily a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, this female cultivator would not leak it casually.
Mainly because she saw Xie Duanyang in the Qi-training monk area and didn't bargain at all.
In just two quarters of an hour, more than ten transactions have been completed. He must be someone who has no shortage of spiritual stones, so he went a little beyond the rules and gave a few words.
I saw the female cultivator saying hello to the two foundation-building cultivators and giving a brief explanation.
The two of them looked Xie Duanyang up and down again, then half turned around, pressed their palms on the bronze beast ring in front of the door, and injected mana into it.
