Chapter 42 Tianxing Zongfang City

Like the Yue Kingdom, the Yuanwu Kingdom is a medium-sized country in the southern part of the Tiannan region and also has its own sects dedicated to cultivating immortals.

However, the difference is that within the Yuanwu Kingdom, the righteous and evil sects are in a stalemate.

The Tianxing Sect is one of the three major orthodox sects in the Yuanwu Kingdom. Its formation techniques are even famous in several neighboring countries.

The territory of the Tianxing Sect happens to be located on the border of the Yuanwu Kingdom, bordering the Yue Kingdom.

On the border of Yuanwu State, there is a fairly large market town.

The market town here is different from those in Tainan Valley and Xuankun Mountain. It is built with a huge building that is twenty or thirty feet high as its center.

The surrounding pavilions are of different heights, surrounding the giant building and forming a circle.

'This Tianxing Sect's market is really bustling!'

Bai Ziye was wearing a deep blue robe, a bamboo hat and a mask, which completely concealed his appearance.

After decorating the cave, Bai Ziye planned to find a formation to cover his cave.

Between the Huangfeng Valley market and the Tianxing Sect market, Bai Ziye chose the Tianxing Sect market without hesitation.

The Tianxing Sect's market is closer to his cave, and the Tianxing Sect's formation is also famous. It can also help him get news about Xin Ruyin in advance, which is a win-win situation for Bai Ziye.

The scale of the Tianxing Sect market is not only much larger than the Tainan Valley market and the Xuankun Mountain market, but the quality of the goods there is also higher.

Of course, the materials for the second-level monsters are still as scarce. After walking around for a long time, Bai Ziye didn’t see many.

Tiannan is not like the Chaos Star Sea where monsters roam everywhere. Monsters above level 2 are extremely rare in Tiannan. Ordinary cultivators cannot even see them, let alone kill them to obtain materials.

Just like in the bloody secret realm of Yue State, there are some second-level monsters, such as the black dragon.

However, only cultivators who practice Qigong can enter the Bloody Forbidden Land. If they encounter a level 2 monster, they will be completely defenseless.

However, although he did not see any monster materials above level two, Bai Ziye still saw a lot of top-level refining materials.

For example, the purple iron that Bai Ziye has always been thinking about.

Zixia Iron is a kind of iron ore in the world of immortal cultivation. It emits purple light all over. It has a hard texture and can absorb spiritual energy.

Ever since he learned about the magical material purple iron from those weapon refining notebooks, Bai Ziye has always wanted to collect some purple iron to upgrade his thieving beast.

However, even in the internal market of Huangfeng Valley and Xuankun Mountain, no trace of Zixia Iron was found.

"Do you still have this purple iron in your store?"

Bai Ziye walked into the store and asked without hesitation.

"Yes, Senior. I just received some of this purple iron not long ago."

The shop owner was an elderly man. He saw that Bai Ziye was a foundation-building cultivator and immediately knew that he could make a big deal this time, so he said with a smile on his face.

"I'll take all the purple iron you have."

Bai Ziye's voice was very calm. He needed a lot of them. Even after upgrading the Devouring Beast, he could still use them to refine other magical weapons.

Therefore, although he doesn’t have many spirit stones in his hand now, Bai Ziye is not worried at all.

Upon hearing this, the owner took Bai Ziye into a side room of the store.

"Senior, please wait a moment!"

After ordering someone to bring tea to Bai Ziye, the owner went downstairs to prepare the Zixia iron.

Soon, the owner returned to the room with a storage bag.

"Senior, the amount of purple iron is very rare, and our shop was lucky to collect some of it."

The shopkeeper took out the purple iron with a smile and placed it on the table. Bai Ziye picked up a piece of purple iron and observed it carefully. Soon, Bai Ziye put down the purple iron in his hand.

"How many spirit stones?"

After confirming the authenticity of the Zixia Iron, Bai Ziye asked slowly.

"Thank you for your patronage. One hundred and twenty spirit stones."

The store manager smiled and announced the amount of spirit stones.

Bai Ziye nodded. The shop owner did not try to cheat him, so Bai Ziye happily handed the spirit stone to the other party.

This amount of purple iron is enough for him to refine a few stealing beasts.

"Thank you, senior!"

Seeing Bai Ziye readily giving the spirit stones, the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, shop owner, I have a question for you. Do you know where the secret shop in this market is?"

After Bai Ziye put the Zixia Iron into his storage bag, he continued to speak to the old man.

He planned to go to the secret shop in the Tianxing Sect's market first to see if he could bid for some higher-level formations.

The Xingchen Pavilion in the Tianxing Sect's market is a shop opened by the Tianxing Sect's monks, which sells a wide variety of formations.

But they were just some low-level formations; the Tianxing Sect would not leak the high-level formations.

After all, the Tianxing Sect relies on formations to establish its existence. If the formations were leaked and the flaws were discovered by other sects, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Tianxing Sect.

Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. In this secret shop, an auction will be held from time to time, and among the auction items will appear the formation plates and flags of the Tianxing Sect.

"This... I do know something about the secret shop, but the auction in this secret shop has unfortunately ended. The next auction will be in a month. If you need anything, I can find someone to take you to the secret shop first."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner hesitated for a moment and then told everyone he knew.

"It's over already? What a coincidence."

Bai Ziye couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

However, Bai Ziye still planned to visit the secret shop. Although the auction of the secret shop had ended, the secret shop would still sell formations.

Although it is not as good as the formations that appear at the auction, it is much stronger than those sold in the Star Pavilion.

Bai Ziye is now setting up a formation to cover up the Spirit Eye Spring in his cave.

"In that case, please wait for a moment, I will go find someone and take you to the secret shop."

The owner said this, stood up and left the room.

An hour later, the owner brought a middle-aged scholar in blue into the room.

"Senior, this Fellow Daoist Wang is a good friend of mine. He also knows about the secret shop. Why don't you let Fellow Daoist Wang take you to the secret shop?"

The shop owner introduced the middle-aged scholar next to him to Bai Ziye with a relaxed expression.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ziye immediately looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Junior Wang Ziling, greetings to the senior."

When the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw Bai Ziye looking at him, he immediately introduced himself with some excitement.

If he could introduce a foundation-building cultivator like Bai Ziye to that secret shop, he could get a lot of commission.

Bai Ziye stood up and said to Wang Ziling, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist."
