Chapter 44 Preparing for the Lottery
Wang Ziling took Bai Ziye around in the Tianxing Sect market, and finally they came to an inconspicuous little shop in a remote area.

In the small shop, there was only a young woman in the middle stage of Qi training. She had an ordinary appearance and looked inconspicuous.

"Madam Zhang, this senior wants to go to the secret shop to buy some things."

After Wang Ziling and Bai Ziye entered the room, they spoke hurriedly without waiting for the young woman to speak.

"Yes, that's more reasonable. Although I asked you to bring the guests here, you can't bring just any human here. At least you should be like this senior."

Upon hearing this, the young woman looked at Bai Ziye behind Wang Ziling with some surprise. Only when she saw that this man was a foundation-building cultivator did a slight smile appear on her face.

After hearing this, Wang Ziling's face turned red, but he didn't say much. He just left the shop silently.

"Sir, you came at an unfortunate time. The monthly auction has just ended. However, there are still many monks doing business in the secret shop. I will take you down now."

Mrs. Zhang closed the door of the shop and then went to a corner of the house.

He just pressed the ground, and then a yellow light flashed on his hand, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground.

Mrs. Zhang greeted Bai Ziye and walked down the stairs in the cave.

Bai Ziye did not hesitate and followed Mrs. Zhang down the stairs in the cave.

The stone staircase was very short, and after only about ten feet, you reached the end.

At the end was a tightly closed stone door, in front of which stood two foundation-building monks dressed in black and wearing masks.

The two foundation-building monks seemed not to see Bai Ziye and Madam Zhang, and allowed them to push open the stone door and walk in.

Behind the stone gate is an oval hall with vermilion carpets, snow-white jade walls, and high-hanging palace lanterns, which make the entire hall look magnificent.

In the hall, there were many monks dressed in black and wearing masks, who were trading with each other.

Seeing someone coming in, many cultivators looked at Bai Ziye.

Bai Ziye felt a little heavy in his heart. Among these cultivators, most of them were foundation-building cultivators, and only a few were in the late Qi training stage.

Bai Ziye was fearless and walked straight into the crowd.

The woman left the hall quietly and returned to the small shop that she used as a cover.

At this time, because the auction was over, many monks in the secret shop began to take out the things they didn't want, intending to trade some spirit stones or items they needed.

Among them, the defensive formation that Bai Ziye needed was included. Unfortunately, the best formation among them could only defend against cultivators in the late stage of foundation building.

Formations that can defend against Jindan-stage cultivators are extremely rare, and are only occasionally put up for auction at monthly auctions.

In desperation, Bai Ziye had to temporarily choose a formation for the Foundation Establishment Period to make the transition.

After several rounds of selection and comparison, Bai Ziye finally chose a formation called Xiaoyunluo Huanzhen.

This set of illusion array can hide his cave. Unless one is a Jindan cultivator, no one can find the location of Bai Ziye's cave.

Although this formation is only effective against cultivators below the Jindan stage, it still cost Bai Ziye hundreds of spirit stones.

At this point, Bai Ziye had few spirit stones left.

After obtaining the formation, Bai Ziye did not continue to stay in the secret shop, but chose to leave.

Bai Ziye planned to leave the Tianxing Sect market directly to see if he could find any trace of Xin Ruyin.

Bai Ziye only remembered that Xin Ruyin's home was on a small hill in the northwest direction.

However, Yuanwu State is very large, no smaller than Yue State. Trying to find Xin Ruyin's home in such a large territory is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Bai Ziye plans to use his money ability.

Bai Ziye found Wang Ziling, who had taken him to the secret shop earlier. "I wonder if you have any dissatisfaction?"

Wang Ziling said to Bai Ziye with some trepidation in his heart.

After all, he was just a casual cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage, and he didn't want to offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator for no reason.

"Not really. I want you to help me find someone."

Seeing Wang Ziling's attitude, Bai Ziye suddenly burst into laughter.

These are the lowest level of cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, the Qi training stage cultivators. Not only do they have to run around for cultivation resources, but they also have to be very cautious and not dare to offend others.

Of course, he was not much better. Only by becoming a Jindan stage cultivator could he have a certain status in the world of immortal cultivation.

"I wonder who you are looking for, Senior?"

Knowing that he had not offended the other party, Wang Ziling felt relieved.

"A formation master named Xin Ruyin. If you can find information about this person, I will reward you handsomely!"

Bai Ziye believed that Wang Ziling, as a cultivator from Yuanwu State, must have his own ways to find out about Xin Ruyin more quickly.

And if Wang Ziling really found Xin Ruyin, Bai Ziye would not mind rewarding him handsomely.

"It is an honor for the younger generation to be able to serve the seniors!"

Wang Ziling did not refuse. After all, if he could establish a relationship with a foundation-building cultivator, it would only benefit him.

After reaching an agreement with Wang Ziling, Bai Ziye left the Tianxing Sect market and returned to the cave residence in the Taiyue Mountains of Yue State.

The first step after returning to the cave was that Bai Ziye removed the maze formation he received from Huangfeng Valley and replaced it with the small Yunluo magic formation he bought in the Tianxing Sect market.

When the magic array was activated, the area within several hundred meters around Bai Ziye's cave was covered by it.

Even if a cultivator in the late foundation building stage came here, he would not be able to find where Bai Ziye's cave was hidden.

After changing to the Xiaoyunluo Illusion Array, Bai Ziye finally felt much more at ease.

What made Bai Ziye regretful was that he did not meet Xin Ruyin during this trip to the Tianxing Sect market.

However, Bai Ziye thought that he had gone to the Tianxing Sect market several years earlier than Han Li, and perhaps Xin Ruyin was still learning the formation now.

Bai Ziye no longer thought about those trivial things. Instead, he took a bath in the cave and changed into Huang Fenggu’s clothes.

Bai Ziye was planning to draw a lottery. After breaking through to the foundation-building stage, Bai Ziye got one chance to draw a lottery.

Originally, Bai Ziye planned to use his lottery draw chance after he solved the formation and got to know Xin Ruyin.

Unfortunately, he didn't even meet Xin Ruyin in person this time, so he could only come back regretfully and use up his lottery draw times first.

Bai Ziye called up his personal panel.

Host: Bai Ziye
Spiritual roots: wood, water, gold
Cultivation: Early stage of foundation building

Prizes: Star Sea Bottle, Divine Machine Hundred Refinements

Number of draws: Once

Bai Ziye clicked on the lottery section and started the lottery.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the prize..."

PS: My grandma is much better now. Thank you very much.
