Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists

Chapter 1055: Chapter 909 Beichen

"Indeed not bad..."

Fang Xi felt that since that ’Master Ge’ with Mahayana Level Cultivation could refine ’Storage Talismans’, he also shouldn’t have too many problems, except for the lack of specialized secret techniques for making talismans.

——If one could just simply copy a talisman to create one, then the Talisman Masters of the Cultivation World would have starved to death long ago.

He browsed through again, before eventually asking, "Do you have any True Immortal level talismans here?"

"Are you asking for ’Immortal Mansion True Talismans’?"

The shopkeeper’s eyes grew even brighter, "Of course we do... please have a look!"

On his arm, the light from a ’Storage Talisman’ flashed, and a jade box emerged into view.

Atop the jade box, numerous strange Immortal Mansion inscriptions in the shapes of flowers composed a mysterious seal.

At that moment, thousands of flowers bloomed, and a rich fragrance wafted through the void.

The lid of the jade box opened slightly, and beams of golden radiance eagerly displayed themselves.

Inside the box, what appeared was a piece of talisman paper that seemed to be made of pure gold, with the aura of golden halberds crisscrossing over it, gathering into dense and numerous Immortal Mansion inscriptions that wriggled like tadpoles.

"This is the ’Heavenly Strike Nine Gorges Talisman’, crafted by a True Immortal adept in the Golden Attribute Law. It possesses the power of a single strike from an Immortal, indestructible..."

The shopkeeper said with a hint of sentimentality in his voice, "It’s well-known that we Immortal Cultivators cultivate ’immortality’, and after becoming Immortals, Immortals cultivate the ’Way’. The power of this ’Immortal Mansion True Talisman’ is definitely far beyond the imagination of us Cultivators..."

’Immortal Cultivators cultivate ’immortality’, True Immortals cultivate ’the Way’? Indeed, it’s a fine saying...’

Fang Xi nodded inwardly, then continued to ask, "If traded with Immortal Jade, how much would it be? Are there other Immortal Mansion True Talismans?"

"If it’s with Immortal Jade, it would be ten thousand pieces," replied the shopkeeper with a smile. "As for other Immortal Mansion True Talismans? The store’s capital is limited, so we do not have any..."

In fact, he still had a few talismans of the Immortals in hand, but he at least needed to verify whether this customer was truly able to afford them first.

"Ten thousand pieces?"

Fang Xi was somewhat surprised, not because the price was too high, but because it was too cheap!

It seemed that the value of Immortal Jade in the Immortal Realm might be even higher?

’Immortal Jade can only be mined in the Immortal Mansion Secret Realm... and in the True Immortal Realm, Immortals are elusive creatures... but in the Secret Realms of the Earth Immortal Realm, even corpses of Immortals can be found...’

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up as he suddenly saw a business opportunity.

Trading between these two worlds could be very profitable!

"Ten thousand pieces of Immortal Jade is indeed not expensive."

The shopkeeper was like a silver-tongued orator, "This is an Immortal Mansion True Talisman... There isn’t a single Immortal in the entire Black Marsh Market, and this talisman was acquired by my old employer from ’Fiery Sun Immortal City’ at a great cost and transported here... our store is the only one in the market, without any branches."

Fang Xi snorted and, taking Yi Xi with him, walked out of the Ge Family Old Shop without buying a single talisman...

As for the shopkeeper, he kept smiling and saw them off, showing no signs of impatience.

It’s hard to tell if it was due to his Integration Period Cultivation that had a bit of influence.

...

Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.

The pavilion’s setting was extremely serene. As Fang Xi walked in, he could not see a single book.

There was only a pretty young girl in green, who approached Fang Xi with a graceful bow, "The young lady ’Yanyu’ greets you, Sir. Are you here to buy books?"

"Indeed..."

Fang Xi, unflustered, took a seat with ease and then said, "Books about geography, the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, and even cultivation methods, I would like to take a look at all of them. Do you have a catalogue?"

In reality, what he wanted most were books like the geographical records.

Whatever other Cultivation inheritances they might have, he probably couldn’t afford them now.

And moreover...

’The Kuyong Skills will have no way forward after achieving Earth Immortal...’

’Although there is still a long time in the Mahayana Period, I need to start planning for cultivation methods in advance.’

About how to cultivate after becoming an Immortal, Fang Xi was still utterly confused.

"Of course," smiled Yanyu.

She gracefully took a piece of incense from a box, ground it finely, and poured it into a golden incense burner.

Soon, a wisp of sandalwood scent gently rose.

"Please!"

With a slight smile, Yanyu then surprisingly laid down on the table and fell sound asleep.

"..."

Fang Xi was at a loss for words, but when his Divine Consciousness swept over the fragrance, he suddenly gained much insight and a strand of his Divine Consciousness entered it.

In the midst of obscurity, this strand of Divine Consciousness transformed into a young man wearing a blue long robe, arriving in a library.

As far as the eye could see, the library was packed with densely clustered books, numbering not just in millions but beyond.

"This is..."

Looking at the spiraling bookshelves filled with various types of books, his eyes immediately revealed a trace of delight.

"This is the latest ’Bliss Fragrance’ that our pavilion has purchased from the western ’Bliss Profound Realm’. It is greatly beneficial for Divine Consciousness and can also connect to a ’Divine Consciousness Space’. The pavilion master uses it for storing books. As long as customers purchase the related books, they can directly imprint them into their Divine Consciousness..."

Yanyu’s figure appeared beside him, still holding a peculiar book in her hands.

This book had an eye on its cover, which made even Fang Xi feel uncomfortable when it scanned over him.

"Elder Shu, please take out the geographical records, Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, and related Cultivation techniques," requested Yanyu with a gentle smile. Fang Xi then felt his Divine Consciousness connect with an ’operation platform’. With his experience in The Nine States, he familiarized himself with it quickly and began searching rapidly.

While searching, he could also casually chat with Yanyu: "This Divine Consciousness Space is indeed interesting."

"The pavilion master only purchased the lowest grade, which only has the function of storing books..." Yanyu slowly shook her head: "It is rumored in the Bliss Profound Realm’s ’Divine Skill Pavilion’, one can directly implant Mahayana Level spells or even Divine Skill seeds right into the Immortal Cultivator’s Sea of Consciousness. As long as one has enough Immortal Jade, any Divine Skill can be obtained on a whim, instantly mastered..."

"Truly impressive...however, the Divine Skills from the Divine Skill Pavilion are mostly mediocre. The real powerful and heaven-defying Divine Skills always require one’s own Cultivation," Fang Xi mused internally, maintaining a calm exterior.

"Hehe... If someone possesses a heaven-defying Divine Skill, how could they possibly reveal it easily?" Yanyu giggled: "I really want to settle down in the Bliss Profound Realm. It’s said that there is a Buddha there who made a great vow; anyone willing to chant his true name can go to the real ’Bliss World’. Even a mere mortal can enjoy endless pleasures there. Everything from wealth and power, to celestial concubines, and even achieving Cultivation can be easily obtained, inherently complete."

’This sounds a bit like The Nine States’ virtual space, but it seems much more advanced... Moreover, with so much to gain, the price to pay later must be steep.’

Fang Xi was wary inside, but his face showed a smile: "To have such a Bliss World is indeed desirable..."

He had a premonition that, though the True Immortal Realm seemed ordinary, the disparities between individuals, even within the same realm, could be unimaginably vast.

For instance, the human communities he had infiltrated here still resembled an ancient feudal society.

But commoners in the Bliss Profound Realm had already gained access to more advanced Buddhist technologies than The Nine States, even directly transplanting Divine Skills and spells!

’The True Immortal Realm... it really inspires anticipation.’

A smile emerged at the corner of his mouth as he observed the book titles revealed after several searches: ""Beichen Geography","Wanderings of Dream Creek Immortal","The Complete Collection of 365 Talismans","Mysterious Array Layout Secrets of Langhua","Wood Life Skill Volume One"..."

Each of these titles had its own price tag.

After considering with Immortal Jade in mind, rows of figures began to emerge.

"Beichen Geography" and "Wanderings of Dream Creek Immortal" were the cheapest, costing just over thirty pieces of Immortal Jade.

The inheritances related to Talismans and Arrays, however, could cost thousands of pieces of Immortal Jade and it was explicitly stated that they only reached the eighth order.

As for the last"Wood Life Skill Volume One"...

"It actually requires tens of thousands of Immortal Jade?"

Fang Xi took a sharp breath: "This technique is so expensive?"

"Cultivating the Wood Attribute Law with Wood Life Skill is a top-level technique... Volume One encompasses everything from Qi Refining Foundation Establishment to achieving the True Immortal of Origin Soul. Being a legacy of the Human Immortal, it naturally commands this price..."

Yanyu answered with a pleasant smile: "Moreover, this technique belongs to ’Divine Wood Palace’. If Sir cultivates it to achieve Mahayana or even True Immortal status, you may have the chance to be accepted into Divine Wood Palace and acquire subsequent inheritance..."

"I see... True Immortal, eh."

Fang Xi had never heard of the ’Divine Wood Palace’, but it must be a renowned power in the vicinity.

Therefore, his face immediately showed an expression of shock and envy.

"Yes... Immortals who have achieved Immortality can guarantee a sect or power to prosper through the ages, their legacy unending..."

Yanyu also showed a wistful look: "Even if they are not Earth Immortals or Human Immortals... even Ghost Immortals and Divine Immortals can also achieve Immortality, they just won’t be able to progress further. For us Cultivators, to become an Immortal and achieve Immortality is already a life without regrets..."

After expressing her sentiments, she looked towards Fang Xi: "May I ask which book the guest wishes to purchase? According to the rules of our pavilion, guests can browse the first 10% of each book."

Since this was within the controlled Divine Consciousness Space of another, actions such as forceful seizure or secretly circumventing restrictions to browse were naturally impossible, assuring both security and confidentiality.

Fang Xi certainly wouldn’t refuse and pointed with his finger.

A flash of white light passed, and a jade book floated before his eyes.

This was a ’Immortal Mansion Jade Book’, which had been unearthed in many ruins of Immortal Mansions. Now it seemed it truly was a jade slip from the True Immortal Realm.

His incarnation of Divine Consciousness browsed swiftly, and numerous pieces of information surfaced:

"So it turns out, the place where I am is the Beichen Immortal Domain of the True Immortal Realm. This Immortal Domain is unimaginably vast; the ’Immortal Peng Bo’ once took flight through Beichen Immortal Domain on a whim, wishing to explore the enormity of heaven and earth. He flew east-west for ten thousand years, and north-south for eight thousand years... Why so idle?"

Reading the record in the geography book, Fang Xi was speechless, wondering if Immortals were supposed to be this idle?

But then he thought that Immortals were inherently Immortal, and if they were Divine Immortals or Ghost Immortals, they didn’t even have to consider Cultivation anymore, so wouldn’t they be idle?
