The Strongest in the Cave of Wonders Chapter 2: The Three Elemental Flames

  The next day, Chu Yi took the more than 5,000 yuan he had accumulated over the past six months and paid his rent. He then rushed to the transaction area in the central district of the city.

  Wherever people gather, there are always businessmen present. In a place where tens of thousands of miners gather, it is no exception, and many industries have also been derived from this. The miner trading area is one of the biggest features here.

  Here, you can exchange the currency from the mining area for gold and silver, or use it to buy some good things that cannot be bought in the mortal world. Although these small things are not worth mentioning in the eyes of cultivators, even in the eyes of a first-level congenital cultivator, they are all magical objects for ordinary people.

  As a miner who has been working hard for only half a year, Chu Yu's current assets are astonishing.

  It's worth mentioning that a ordinary low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten units of supply currency. An average miner, taking ten days as an example, has a mining rate of at most five to ten pieces, and at most can only exchange for around a hundred supply currency.

  There are occasionally some lucky ones who get a low-grade spirit stone with five-element attributes when mining, and they make a fortune, but such good luck is hard to come by.

  Chu Yi, as a newcomer who has been here for less than half a year, was able to accumulate five thousand supply coins in such a short period of time. It's hard not to say that this is a miracle.

  As for the cause of this "miracle", it's actually quite simple. Chu Yi fully utilized his skills as a master builder and tomb raider during excavation, always able to obtain rich rewards with minimal effort at the most suitable locations, completely unlike other miners who rely solely on brute force, digging wherever they see stone.

  If it weren't for Chu Yi always going down the mine alone, not working with anyone, and being cautious when delivering the ore, never appearing three times in a row at the same exit of the mine, his "good luck" would have aroused suspicion from others long ago.

  Although there are more than 10,000 ordinary miners here, where there are people, there is a struggle for rights and interests, which also applies here.

  A total of more than 15,000 miners are roughly divided into three major forces, which are further divided into more than a dozen small forces. In this interval, killing people and robbing mines can be said to be a common occurrence.

  Of course, these evil deeds all took place inside the mine, after all those cultivators guarding this place were not something that some rough miners could contend with.

  Many masters are ruthless, as long as they are not within their protected areas, who lives or dies has nothing to do with them. With a population of 100 billion in the Xuan Yuan Star, there is no shortage of labor force to mine spiritual stones for them.

  Arriving at the trading district, Chu Yi rushed straight to the largest store in the central area. After half a year of hard work, he came here to buy one thing, which was crucial to whether Chu Yi would become a dragon or an insect from now on.

  The shop is divided into two floors, covering an area of over 500 square meters, decorated with gold and jade, it can be said that this is the most luxurious and largest building in the mining area.

  After entering the shop, Chu Yi didn't stay long on the first floor and rushed straight to the second floor. A clerk at the entrance of the second floor stopped him and said: "The second floor specializes in selling cultivation items, do you understand?"

  Chu Yi didn't say much, and directly threw the cloth bag filled with money in front of his partner, calmly saying: "I'm here to buy things for cultivation..."

  The shops here are not the same as other stores in the trading district, but were built by the Supreme Yang Sect. The first floor sells nothing out of the ordinary, just large quantities of yellow and white materials. The second floor sells some low-grade spiritual tools, including talismans, ritual instruments, thunderbolts, spirit elixirs, and even spiritual cultivation manuals, all in abundance.

  Of course, the grades of these objects are extremely low if placed in the Xiu Zhen world. They are so low that even a newly-minted Xian Tian realm cultivator would look down on them.

  Yet, in the eyes of ordinary people, these objects are worth as much as a city.

  Especially in Chuyi's eyes, it is also the only chance for him to live better on this alien star.

  On Xuan Yuan Star, as long as one becomes a cultivator, even if they have just started on the path of cultivation, once they step into this threshold, their status and position will increase by a hundredfold.

  In this mining area, setting up a shop to sell items from the Cultivation Realm is not unprecedented for the Supreme Mysterious Origin Sect. These things that are too precious to discard but too useless to consume can be sold to the miners, which can also be considered a welfare measure for everyone.

  The fellow glanced at Chu Yi with a slanted eye, picked up the cloth bag to check it, and then hung a smile on his mouth, handing the cloth bag back to Chu Yi: "The minimum amount of goods required to enter the second floor is three thousand supply coins. Since you have five thousand, you can naturally go in, please hurry."

  This fellow is just an ordinary man, who has been working here for ten years and has seen over a hundred people accumulate a large amount of money to buy the cultivation manual.

  Although more than a hundred miners bought the Cultivation Manual here, only a handful of them could eventually embark on the path of cultivation. The probability was so low that it was infuriating, but Buddy was a sharp-eyed person. Who would dare to guarantee that this young man with a delicate appearance in front of him would not become a cultivator in the future? Giving a smile couldn't be a bad thing.

  Under the leadership of his partner, Chu Yi's eyes suddenly opened up, and inside, it was divided into five major areas, which were selling elixirs, spiritual symbols, magical instruments, dark thunder, and cultivation secrets.

  The fellow brought Chu Yi in front of a shopkeeper who was about 50 years old and said something briefly before leaving respectfully.

  "What would you like to buy?"

  Although the shopkeeper was old and frail, his eyes shone brightly, his energy was like a tiger's, and he looked like a renowned master of the First Heaven Realm.

  Chu Yi's gaze locked onto the left side where over a dozen bookshelves were stacked with cultivation scriptures, and he said firmly: "Immortal Elder, I am devoted to the path, and have come here solely in search of a single volume of cultivation scripture. I hope that you will grant my request."

  Seeing Chu Yi's sincere words, the shopkeeper nodded slightly and took over the 5,000 supply coins handed over by Chu Yi. He nodded and said: "If you choose yourself, the cultivation secret books on that bookshelf are 3,000 per copy. If you want me to provide you with a list of the easiest-to-practice secret books among the thousands of secret books, it will cost 5,000 per copy. You can consider it yourself."

  "Please also grant me the list..." Chu Yi said without hesitation.

  "Good, you young man are quite straightforward. I'll give you another sentence: your five elements belong to fire, it's best to choose a fire-attribute cultivation manual."

  Anyone who has set foot in the Xiantian realm can already use their spiritual consciousness to distinguish between the five forms of ordinary people. The shopkeeper's words, however, greatly increased Chu Yi's chances of setting foot on the path of cultivating truth.

  Generally speaking, there are two paths to embark on the path of spiritual refinement. One is to be led by a master, which is the easiest way, and anyone with some talent can do it.

  Secondly, self-cultivation is even more risky, and among 100 people, only three to five can successfully cultivate, which is already a very high probability.

  The reason why the risk of self-cultivation is extremely high is related to the quality of the cultivation manual; secondly, whether the personal cultivation manual is consistent with the innate five elements of the individual; thirdly, for those who cultivate on their own, without a large accumulation, they cannot afford to spend the large amount of spiritual stones required to enter the innate realm.

  Chu Yi took over the name list handed over by the old man, which categorized all the cultivation secrets in this place into five major categories. He quickly flipped to the fire attribute cultivation secret, but was dizzy from the hundreds of spell names in front of him.

  "So many, which one should I choose?"

  Chu Yi couldn't help but ask for help: "Immortal Sir, could you give me some guidance?"

  The old shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Just choose the eighth page sixth item listed Gongfa, among many fire attribute Xiu Zhen Fa jue, this method is the easiest to succeed, at your age, maybe you can step into the pre-heavenly initial realm before the age of 60..."

  Following the old shopkeeper's instructions, he found a method called "Three Yuan Li Huo Jue". Chu Yu didn't say much, nodded and said: "Everything depends on Xian Chang's words, let's use this method!"

  He handed over a thin volume with the title "Three Elements of Fierce Fire Decision" to Chu Yi, watching as he walked away with a confident stride. The old shopkeeper couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, thinking back to when he too had been so full of confidence in his own ability to cultivate successfully.

  At the present time, he is already over 70 years old, but his cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Innate Realm. This achievement is still thanks to the fact that the cultivation method he practices is a low-grade Xuan-level technique.

  The "Three Elements Fierce Fire Decision" that Chu Yi took away just now is only a humble yellow-grade technique, and its level is unknown compared to the mysterious grade technique cultivated by Zhang Guan. The chance of successful cultivation is even more slim.

  The Xiu Zhen Fa Jue can be said to be the most important thing in the path of Xiu Zhen. The more profound and high-level the Xiu Zhen Fa Jue, the higher the achievement of the practitioner will be. The Xiu Zhen Fa Jue is divided into four levels: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang, with a total of 12 grades, among which the lowest is the lower grade of Huang, and the highest is the upper grade of Tian.

  Looking at the vast Xuan Yuan star, if one can obtain a terrestrial-level cultivation technique from the very beginning, even if it's a low-grade terrestrial-level technique, it can be basically asserted that this person's future achievements will not be ordinary.

  Looking at the nine major sects that control the Xuan Yuan Star, which one does not have a heaven-level technique to suppress the sect and the school? The nine major sects can have their current supreme status today, and it is also inseparable from the heaven-level techniques passed down by these sects for thousands of years.
