Chapter 29: Sect's Marketplace

  Soon after, Lin Tianyang followed Yi Xiuya into a small shop.

  This shop was a specialty store that sold all kinds of elixirs, and there was an outer sect disciple in the eighth layer of Qi Refining who was standing at attention. As soon as he saw Yi Xiuya, he immediately beamed with a smile and said: "Elder Sister Yi, you've arrived!"

  Although this outer door disciple is nearly ten years older than Yi Xiu Ya and has a higher cultivation, the rules of Lei Yan Zong dictate that outer door disciples must address inner door disciples as "Shixiong" or "Shijie".

  "Have you obtained the elixir I wanted?"

  "Here it is!" The disciple heard Yi Xiuya's inquiry and immediately handed her a small, pale green porcelain bottle.

  After spending more than a dozen spirit stones, Lin Tianyang asked with slight curiosity: "Easy sister, what did you buy?"

  "A special spiritual pill for snakes, for Xiaocai!" Yixiuya patted the spirit beast pouch at her waist and revealed a smile.

  Her smile, although somewhat ferocious due to the half-paralyzed face, seemed especially endearing to Lin Tianyang. Thinking of her not-so-wealthy family background, he asked: "You bought Xianglian Dan for Little Cai, do you have enough dan medicine to upgrade your own cultivation?"

  When Lin Tianyang asked this, Yi Xiuya smiled slightly awkwardly: "The sect's treatment of inner disciples is quite good. I can now receive three Seven Spirit Pills every month, and with the spirit stones in my hand, I can buy some other pills. In such an environment, I think my cultivation speed will be at least twice as fast as before!"

  She said that, Lin Tianyang knew she was still in a difficult situation, and after thinking for a moment, he directly took out a bottle of Qingling Dan from his storage bag.

  Actually, for Yi Xiu Ya, the Seven Spirit Dan is indeed the most suitable for her. The Clear Spirit Dan would be a bit of a waste on her, but Lin Tian Yang doesn't have any dan medicine of that level on him.

  Yi Xiuya took one look at Lin Tianyang pulling out a jade bottle and immediately knew he was giving her medicinal pellets. She hastily declined, saying: "Lin Shixiong, you've already given me so much in the past, how could I possibly accept more things from you?"

  Lin Tianyang himself didn't know why he was willing to help her, if Yi Xiuya were a stunning beauty like Leng Yue perhaps he could say he was tempted by her looks, but Yi Xiuya wasn't.

  Seeing her decline, Lin Tianyang forcibly stuffed the jade bottle into her hand and said firmly: "Yi Shimei, if you acknowledge me as your senior brother, then take it!"

  Listening to Lin Tianyang's somewhat overbearing words, Yi Xiuya was touched again in her heart. Over the years, she had seen all sorts of people, and because of her appearance, there were countless people who ridiculed and belittled her, but never had anyone been so good to her before. Yi Xiuya knew clearly that Lin Tianyang would absolutely not take advantage of her, and she didn't have anything that he could take advantage of either. He was helping her completely out of kindness, and she felt like the corners of her eyes were getting a little wet.

  Yi Xiuya, who had been strong for a long time, held back her tears and tightly grasped the jade bottle, lowering her head and unable to say a word.

  "Yi Shi Mei, are you alright?" Lin Tian Yang asked softly as he saw that something seemed off about her.

  "It's alright, Brother Lin. Thank you, little sister!" When Yi Xiuya lifted her head again, a smile reappeared on her face.

  Lin Tianyang looked at her smile and finally felt a little relieved in his heart.

  After leaving the small shop, Lin Tianyang and Yi Xiuya went directly to the building opened by the sect. Walking in here, Lin Tianyang finally felt the style that a super large school like Lei Yan Sect should have.

  Although this is only a market for cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, everything can be found here. Whether it's elixirs, magical tools, or common items like talismans, or even powerful killing artifacts like Symbolic Treasures, Heavenly Thunderbolts, or Thunderclap Pearls, there's nothing you can think of that isn't available, and nothing you can see that isn't for sale. Lin Tianyang even saw Foundation Building Pills being sold on the third floor of a pavilion, but at a price of 10,000 spirit stones per pill, he couldn't afford it.

  When Lin Tianyang finished strolling through the three floors, he wanted to head towards the fourth floor, but was blocked by two Lei Yan Sect disciples and informed that only foundation-building cultivators could go up to the levels above.

  Since it was a place only open to foundation-building monks, Lin Tianyang didn't have the intention of forcing his way in. However, just as he was about to leave, three people happened to be heading upstairs as well, among whom one was none other than Qu Xuan, the burly man with a beard who had presided over the life-and-death arena in Dengtian Town back then.

  Lin Tianyang saw him, and he also saw Lin Tianyang. He immediately smiled and greeted first: "Young Master Lin, what a coincidence! Running into you here!"

  When Qu Xuan took the initiative to greet a younger generation, a red-haired man beside him looked at him with some surprise and asked: "Qu Shixiong, have you met an acquaintance?"

  Qu Xuan chuckled and said, "Feng Shidi, this is the Lin Tianyang I told you about earlier, who killed Li Mochan on the Life and Death Stage!"

  "Oh?" The red-haired man looked at Lin Tianyang with some surprise when he heard Qu Xuan mention his identity, but the surprise only lasted for a moment before disappearing, and even furrowed his brow.

  Lin Tianyang saw it, felt a bit strange, but facing a cultivator who was one major realm higher than himself, he wouldn't say much, and only asked: "Junior Lin Tianyang, has seen Qu Qianbei, and these two seniors!"

  "Lin Tianyang, we still have things to do, so let's not chat with you for too long. There are still quite a few good things here, if you have enough spirit stones, feel free to take a look around!" Qu Xuan said this on purpose to Lin Tianyang, then went upstairs with the other two people.

  After reaching the fourth floor, the red-haired man couldn't help but say: "Qu Shixiong, you said that Lin Tianyang would soon be building his foundation, but now he's only at the tenth layer of Qi Refining. This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with what you said!"

  Qu Xuan's mouth corner flashed a mysterious and unpredictable smile: "Feng Shidi, I don't dare guarantee anything else, but this matter Qu Xuan can say with 90% certainty. Within a year at most, he will definitely become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. At that time, with his cultivation level and the direct-attack spiritual awareness artifact on him, our trip to Luoyin Valley will increase by at least 30%!"

  Qu Xuan finished speaking, another thin man beside him also followed: "Feng Shidi, Qu Shidi has never believed in empty words. Since he said so, I believe it will definitely not be a problem. Even if he really built his foundation two years later, it doesn't matter. After all, there are still seven or eight years before the Luoyin Valley's poisonous fog disperses. As long as he doesn't encounter any unexpected events, the time we have prepared should be more than enough!"

  "Autumn Shixiong's words make sense, we shouldn't be so impatient. Since he can kill Li Mochan on the life-and-death stage, I believe he is not an ordinary person. If he can't even build his foundation, then it's only his own bad luck!" The red-haired man also revealed a somewhat sinister smile at this time.

  Third watch has arrived, continue to ask for collection!
