First Round of the elimination matches has concluded.
In the Loose Cultivator Alliance, four individuals have advanced to the second round after winning three out of nine matches, along with a pre-reserved spot. They are: Ma Buyi, Tan Zhengxiao, Lin Fangxin, and Yan Da (Xu Feng).
Qin Yougong compiled the statistics halfway through the matches. Wuhua Island achieved seven wins out of nine battles, losing only two, placing them first. Both New Moon Sect and Guo Shan Sword Sect secured six wins, tying for second place. Star River Sword Sect came in third with five wins, while Guiyi Sect surprisingly placed fourth with four wins. The most disappointing performance came from Wan Jian Sect, which was not expected to perform well but ended up with only three wins, falling behind the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
After the First Round, there was a break for each sect to recover and prepare for the next matches.
The second Half-Dead Bao went alone to the conference hall on Wuhua Island, where the seven major sects discussed relevant matters and conducted the draw for the next round.
Mo Shengyuan stayed in the building with the severely injured Yue Xiyang, while Qin Yougong gathered the top nine loose cultivators to explore the Fairy Market on Wuhua Island.
This Fairy Market is a temporary gathering that occurs once every ten years during the Immortal Path Conference, bringing business opportunities to Wuhua Island. They have specifically opened an Immortal Market Island for various cultivators to trade, collecting rental fees that contribute significantly to their income.
The Wuhua Fairy Market is located on the western side of the main island, accessible by strange fish that transport visitors in under ten minutes.
The Immortal Market Island is small, measuring only about four or five miles in circumference and rising about ten meters above sea level. It is covered with evergreen trees, and standing at the entrance of the Fairy Market, one can see across to the end of the island.
Disciples from various sects arrived one after another. At the entrance, they were informed of some important rules regarding the Fairy Market, with a key point being that private fights are strictly prohibited.
Most of those entering to shop were elite disciples from various sects, their wallets full and not short on funds.
When Xu Feng and his companions entered the island, there were already around forty to fifty people gathered in the Fairy Market, including many disciples from Wuhua Island, both participants and non-participants.
There were not many vendors in the Fairy Market. After a quick glance, Xu Feng estimated around twenty to thirty shops. The merchants had likely conducted market research before coming; with only seventy participating disciples from the Seven Sects, transaction volumes would not be very high.
The pedestrian street was quite narrow; it was easy to bump into opponents who had just battled on stage if one wasn't careful. Fortunately, everyone was still following the rules, and patrol teams from Wuhua Island frequently appeared in the Fairy Market, ensuring peace and order.
After entering the Fairy Market, members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance dispersed, while disciples from other sects tended to cluster together, chattering excitedly as they shopped and haggled over prices.
Loose cultivators have their own secrets, known only among themselves, even among those referred to as Tiger Warriors. Once the conference concluded, everyone went their separate ways without much camaraderie—only shared interests remained. In contrast, sect disciples often eat, drink, and cultivate together regularly; they know each other well and have little to hide.
Currently, Xu Feng possesses a Superior Spirit Sword, high-quality armor, along with items like the Wings of the Strange Dragon and the Moon Chasing Spirit Bow. His equipment is exceptional; even an average Golden Core Cultivator might not have such an array of spiritual artifacts.
Although there are not many people at this Fairy Market, it is still a step up compared to the one in Mist City. Several vendors offer mid-grade spiritual artifacts for sale, indicating that they are likely well-established family merchants with considerable strength.
"Give me three high-grade middle-tier attack talismans for twenty thousand spirit stones?" A disciple dressed in the Star River Sword Sect was haggling with a vendor.
"Twenty thousand? Then I'll give you high-grade low-tier ones. Friend, you get what you pay for." The vendor had the upper hand over the disciple.
"Alright then. Uh, Lu Shidi, can you lend me Eight Thousand Spirit Stones? I'll pay you back as soon as I get back..." The disciple asked his fellow junior for a loan.
This was a shop specializing in Martial Talismans. The boss was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who seemed to have received some insider information, bringing over a hundred high-grade Martial Talismans to sell. His business was the best on the entire street, and the narrow passageway was nearly blocked by his customers.
Lin Fangxin's last Martial Talisman strike left many participants feeling apprehensive. They believed that even if a bunch of Spirit Talismans were thrown at them, it would be hard to defend against. Of course, the level and quantity of Martial Talismans like Lin Fangxin's were unlikely to happen, as not everyone could afford such extravagant spending.
Xu Feng also had over ten high-grade middle-tier Martial Talismans in his ring, all left by Yang Chenglin. However, he only had one high-grade upper-tier Martial Talisman; the rest were high-grade low-tier ones, totaling several dozen.
Navigating through the crowd, Xu Feng arrived at an Alchemist Shop. Although it looked simple, most of the items for sale were Fifth-Rank Pills, with only a few bottles of Fourth-Rank Pills available for Refining Qi Stage cultivators.
Last time, in order to quickly advance his Water and Wood Dual Systems Cultivation Method, Xu Feng had exhausted all his Fifth-Rank Pills and even used up one Sixth Level Concentration Pill. It was essential to replenish his Fifth-Rank Pills.
"Boss, how much for this bottle of Fifth-Rank Concentration Pills?" Xu Feng asked, pointing at a bottle of pills. Concentration Pills, like spirit stones, were carriers of spiritual energy and came in various grades.
"This bottle? Fifteen thousand spirit stones per pill," the boss said with a smile, revealing two rabbit teeth. He thought to himself: This kid looks so poor he can't even afford one pill and is asking about 'this bottle.'
"Let me see one." Xu Feng took the pill and felt the layers of spiritual energy within it. "Not bad; I'll take a bottle."
"A bottle?" The Rabbit Tooth Merchant thought he heard wrong. A bottle contained ten pills, which would cost one hundred fifty thousand spirit stones—no small amount. Before Xu Feng could respond, the merchant hurriedly added, "Sure thing! You have good taste; this bottle of Concentration Pills is five years old stock. Selling it for fifteen thousand is definitely worth it."
Xu Feng didn't know about prices from five years ago, but selling Fifth-Rank Pills for fifteen thousand was indeed a common price at the Fairy Market.
"Friend, I also have other Fifth-Rank Pills here; I can give you a discount." The Rabbit Tooth Merchant looked eagerly at Xu Feng; this was a rare wealthy customer he couldn't afford to miss.
Xu Feng wanted to buy but noticed that other disciples from different sects had already taken notice of him. He smiled without answering and after looking at several types of pills, turned around and left.
There were four or five shops selling pills at this Fairy Market, each different in variety and stock. After browsing for a while, Xu Feng arrived at a relatively quiet shop.
All the pills here were fifth-grade and limited in quantity—only about ten bottles available. Aside from detoxification and healing pills, there was only one type meant for replenishing spiritual energy: the Great Recovery Pill. Xu Feng checked its properties and bought a bottle for thirteen thousand spirit stones.
The Boss is an old man, in his fifties or sixties, with the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage, appearing to have just recently established his foundation.
"Friend, I see you have been here several times. Are you perhaps looking to buy some elixirs for your disciples?" The old man mistook Xu Feng for a high-ranking member of a sect.
Having already purchased two bottles, Xu Feng's desire to buy was no longer as strong. He lightly acknowledged the identity with a soft sound.
"I wonder if you are interested in medicinal herbs. I have some high-quality herbs that your sect might find useful," the old man said, pointing to several boxes of herbs laid out in the shop.
Generally, any sect of a certain scale has its own Alchemist who refines some common elixirs, while advanced elixirs are mostly produced by professional Alchemists.
Xu Feng glanced at the herbs he was showing; they were all around a hundred years old, suitable for refining third and fourth-grade elixirs, indeed the main ingredients for large-scale production by sects. However, in Xu Feng's eyes, these elixirs were hardly impressive. Suddenly, he felt a stir in his heart and asked, "Do you have any four-hundred-year-old Blood Ginseng?"
"Four hundred years?" The old man laughed and said, "Friend, if you have it, I would be very interested. Three Hundred Years' Blood Ginseng is a wonderful medicine for refining Fifth-Rank Pill." In fact, it could already be used to refine Sixth-Level Elixir.
"This can be arranged," Xu Feng replied quietly, controlling his voice with spiritual power as he noticed there weren't many people around.
