Preparations for war are complete, charge into the Tower of Demons! (Seeking monthly tickets!)

  Ye Chen and Zhu Dahu, Qian Er the three of them chatted for a while about setting up the Chamber of Commerce, then the three of them left separately. Zhu Dahu and Qianshan Li went to do their own things, there were still many preparations that needed to be done in Zhongzhen Yao Ta.

  Ye Chen walked alone on the bustling street, preparing to buy some things.

  He is now at the fifth level of Qi refining and lacks a set of intermediate-level Fa Yi Ling equipment. Also, take a look at buying a formula for a second-order Yuanqi Dan.

  He was walking when he saw a girl selling secret books on the street, "Yun Xin!"

  "Yè dàgē, didn't you go to Qīngshānhú two months ago? How did you come back from Qīngshānhú?"

  Yun Xin was leaning on her chin, lost in thought, having stood guard at the street stall for half a day, and had barely sold any of the secret recipe books. She was just about to doze off when she suddenly heard someone calling out, and she couldn't help but be taken aback. Seeing Ye Chen appear in front of the stall, her eyes blinked once, and she felt an unexpected surprise, hastily standing up, her expression somewhat flustered and discomposed.

  "Oh no! ... I forgot, the Town Demon Tower is about to be stormed. If you're at the third level of Qi Refining, you should try it out! Hmm, Brother Ye, you've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

  Yun Xin's expression changed extremely quickly, having just stuck out a light pink tongue, she discovered Ye Chen's cultivation and her eyes immediately became round.

  "Why is this? When I first met you, you were only at the first level of Qi Refining. Now I've reached the second level of Qi Refining and was thinking about when I could break through to the third level. You're already at the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

  She stood there for a long time, her eyes slightly red with a hint of grievance.

  "In the Lingquan Pavilion of Qing Shan Lake, cultivation is especially fast. It's several times faster than normal speed! You'll understand when you go to Qing Shan Lake later!"

  Ye Chen smiled and explained.

  In his eyes, Yun Xin was like a little sister.

  "I just returned to the city. I'm planning to buy a few spellbooks. Knowing that you have quite a few here, I came to take a look."

  Ye Chen nodded and smiled.

  "My secret recipes are all here, which one do you want? If it's not here, I'll go back to the store and get it for you!"

  Yun Xin quickly recovered from her depression and smiled. She stretched out her jade finger and pointed to more than a dozen small magic manuals on the ground stall. The types of manuals on this stall were not many, all were common small magic manuals, such as "Fireball" and "Wind Control".

  "Water Margin and Fire Eye, are they available? I remember you had a copy of Fire Eye last time!"

  Ye Chen said.

  "Water Concealment", this water-based beginner concealment manual is rarely seen! The warehouse should still have some stock left.

  Yun Xin was taken aback, thought for a moment and said, "The 'Fire Eye' can see through the likes of 'Water Concealment' invisibility techniques, but very few people use it, so it's not easy to sell! The last copy of 'Fire Eye' didn't sell out, I left it in the warehouse. How about this, go to my home warehouse and take a look, there are many secret books, go find one."

  "Alright!"

  Ye Chen nodded slightly.

  Yun Xin put away the secret book and the two of them arrived at the Yun family's shop, which was not far from the street.

  Yun's Secret Recipe Shop, in Tianyun Xianyuan City, is only a small to medium-sized secret recipe shop. The shop occupies nearly an acre of land, with over ten counters displaying a dazzling array of secret recipes. Inside the shop, there are several apprentices guarding the premises.

  "Big sister!"

  "Are you here with a guest to buy a secret recipe? Do you need my help introducing it?"

  The shop assistant, seeing Yun Xin and a young monk enter, hastily smiled.

  "No need, I'll treat myself, you guys go ahead!"

  Yun Xin waved her hand and took Ye Chen to a small warehouse behind the store.

  Ye Chen took a glance at the small warehouse, which was somewhat cluttered. Row upon row of bookshelves were stacked with old, dusty secret manuals.

  "There are many secret books that are hard to sell, so they've been piling up in the warehouse. Let me help you look for them first. The two volumes of 'Water Hiding' and 'Fire Eye'! You take a look yourself, if you find something suitable, just take it out."

  Yun Xin finished speaking and began searching through the bookshelves.

  "Go!"

  Ye Chen is browsing through the bookshelves casually.

  Yun's family secret recipe shop mainly sells primary small spells, a small amount of intermediate spells are used by Qi refining period cultivators and foundation building period cultivators. High-level techniques that can only be cultivated by Golden Elixir cultivators cannot be seen. Those kinds of secret recipes are probably only sold in the Grand Exchange Hall.

  "Usury Technique!"

  Ye Chen flipped through the secret book, and pulled out a volume of spells from the bookshelf.

  "Intimidation Technique", a technique without any specific name! It doesn't conceal one's figure, but it can gather and suppress the aura of one's spiritual energy, magical power, spiritual pressure, and divine sense, lowering their actual strength and making it difficult for others to perceive their true abilities.

  Ye Chen glanced over the introduction on this spellbook and his eyebrows jumped involuntarily.

  Confuse the opponent, misjudge strength. This trick may come in handy at times! Especially when encountering a strong opponent, one misjudgment can make all the difference in the outcome.

  Ye Chen thought silently.

  "Ah, I found a copy of 'Water Margin'! There are indeed still some in stock in the warehouse!"

  Yun Xin searched for a while on the bookshelf and finally found a copy of "Water Concealment" spell manual in the corner.

  As for that book "Fire Eye", it was hers in the warehouse and soon found.

  She came out and saw Ye Chen had also picked up a copy of "Breath Control Technique", and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You want to learn Breath Control Technique? This technique can't completely suppress one's aura or hide one's presence! It can only reduce one's strength by about 30%, it doesn't have any special use! Moreover, if others know your cultivation level and strength, then suppressing your aura is useless too, it won't be of any use on the battlefield!"

  "A 30% reduction is already sufficient!"

  Ye Chen smiled.

  Enough to frame someone.

  He also saw various secret manuals of gongfa in the warehouse, used for cultivating yuan Shen.

  But he didn't take it.

  After clearing the Town Demon Tower, I received a reward from Tianyun Xianyuan City, and naturally, I got the Gongfa Secret Book. Moreover, I believe that the Gongfa Secret Book in the treasure library of Xianyuan City will be much better than the small shop of the Yun family.

  Ye Chen took the three volumes of "Water Concealment", "Fire Eye" and "Breath Holding" spellbooks, and went out of the warehouse with Yun Xin to the counter outside.

  "Water Concealment is very useful and rare, taking it out will definitely have many water-based cultivators rushing to buy it, I'll give you 90 spirit stones for it. Fire Eye is average, I'll give you 20 spirit stones for it. Breath Control is hard to sell, I'll give you 10 spirit stones for it. In total, that's 110 spirit stones. Considering you often buy secret manuals from me, I'm giving you a big discount! If it were someone else, I'd at least charge 134 spirit stones! Do you have enough spirit stones?"

  Yun Xin smiled and quoted a price.

  "Just enough!"

  Ye Chen smiled bitterly and pulled out 110 spirit stones from his storage bag. After spending this amount of spirit stones, he still had over ten spirit stones left in his pocket. The original 1,500 spirit stones he obtained from selling the Seven Leaf Spirit Ginseng were almost all used up during these two months of cultivation in the immortal mansion, spent on making spiritual wine and spiritual pills, leaving only this small amount of spirit stones in his storage bag.

  Ye Chen bought three volumes of secret books and then bid farewell to Yun Xin and left the Cloud House store.

  Yun Xin's face fell slightly, and she looked somewhat sulky.

  Several shop assistants gathered around, speaking in a strange tone, "Young lady, you've sold three books at once, earning over 100 spirit stones! Why are you still sighing? Are you dissatisfied with the earnings?" "It's that book 'Water Hiding', just raise the price a bit and ask for a few more tens of spirit stones, it's not a difficult task!"

  "It has nothing to do with the Spirit Stone."

  Yun Xin shook her head.

  She let out a sigh in her heart.

  She still remembered when she first asked Ye Chen in the Sunset Prairie, why he wanted to cultivate immortality. Ye Chen said that it was just a habit of such a cultivation life, without any reason or special thoughts.

  She actually knew there must be a reason, he just didn't want to say it.

  Otherwise, how could he be so diligent and hardworking in his cultivation! A lone cultivator, without paying out dozens of times more effort than ordinary people, how could he possibly stand out in a place like Tianyun Immortal City and become a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator!

  Niu Chen returned to his own small inn in Xian City.

  This month, more and more cultivators have gathered at Tianyun Xianyuan City, with an endless stream of cultivators arriving from all over Yunzhou.

  The fairy city of Xun Tu Xun Ling Shi is exceptionally hot, and all the large and small luxurious and simple inns are almost fully booked, with no empty rooms to be found. Foreign monks often have to squeeze several people into one room just to barely find a place to stay.

  Fortunately, Ye Chen had already booked a single room, otherwise it would be a worry just to find a place to stay in Xian City.

  Ye Chen returned to the inner chamber and opened the three secret books, absorbing the three small law seals.

  Then seize the time and cultivate these three spells.

  Only more than ten days are left before the departure from Zhongyao Tower, but it can't be delayed. These three volumes of spell manuals can still produce some effect. These three volumes of manuals are not attack-type spells and do not need to go outside for practice, which can also be done indoors.

  Ye Chen rarely went out. Apart from cultivating magic, he only grew low-grade spiritual herbs and medicine in the immortal mansion, exchanged them for some spiritual stones to use as pocket money, and got a set of better-quality magic robes.

  Ye Chen devoted himself to practicing magic.

  More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

  On the day of the arrival at Chong Town's You Tower, at dawn when the sky had just brightened, the streets of the entire Immortal City became bustling and lively. As the most important event of Tianyun Xianyuan City every year, the cultivators of the city were extremely concerned about this matter.

  The monks in the city all rushed to the streets, waiting for the start of the Town Demon Tower in the immortal pavilions and wine houses. While drinking and laughing, they discussed which big family monks, small family monks, and scattered cultivators could seize the top 90 places this year.

  "Those big clans' disciples who are rushing to the tower, Ken An is able to enter the immortal gate! The problem is just the ranking order, which affects the status and face of various major Xian families in the Immortal City. In order to fight for a better ranking, they don't mind fighting to the point of bloodshed, that's a common thing!"

  "Descendants of great families can still enter the immortal gate, no matter what. Those small family descendants are truly having a hard time! Among hundreds of medium and small families, only a few with strong strength can have the opportunity to rush into the top 90."

  "As for those countless scattered cultivators who 'listen to heaven and follow their fate', being able to join one of the nine great immortal sects is absolutely a matter of burning high-quality incense, with their ancestors' spirits rising up in joy!"

  Tens of thousands of young monks under the age of twenty-five got up early and took to the streets.

  Ye Chen did the same, getting up early and leaving the inn.

  Zhu Dahao, Qian Shanli and Feng Yan, a small group of cultivators, had already gathered outside the inn, discussing the matter of the Chong Town Demon Tower. "Today, no matter what, we must give it our all!" "I only have this one chance left, next year I'll be over the age limit!" "I'm almost there too!"

  They were somewhat excited and nervous, competing for the limited 90 spots among so many monks, under tremendous pressure.

  "Brother Ye is out!"

  This small group of monks saw Ye Chen come out of the small inn and hurriedly bowed their hands in greeting.

  I've finally finished writing this chapter.

  PS: Urgently need monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, keep the rankings!!

  The most intense plot of the Demon Tower in "Xian Fu Zhi Yuan" is finally about to unfold. Everyone knows that I'm not good at writing passionate and sentimental scenes, it's my weakness. But this time, I've tried my best to write it out, making this plot burst forth and surge forward!
