I don't know how many days passed, but Wei Ci's perseverance made him feel a little tired of hunting day and night.
The only thing that made him happy was the crazy growth of Jin Shu's energy points and the existence of the "inner palace" that finally had some clues.
Looking inside with mental power, a strange feeling came from a special position in the Dantian.
In Wei Ci's perception, that position seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with a ball of light added to it.
He knew that that must be where the inner palace was.
From this moment on, he has entered the second stage of the second level - endless vitality.
He was not satisfied, but began to guide the vitality in his body to circulate around the sky, and finally converged towards the inner palace.
A trace of vitality successfully settled in the inner palace, but the speed was very slow.
Wei Ci opened the golden book without hesitation, and the fourth page "Plunder-Juyuan" opened.
A steady stream of heaven and earth energy began to gather. He was already familiar with this scene. He started "Gathering Yuan" at this moment, mainly to fill up the inner palace in one go.
Many people fail to find the existence of the inner palace throughout their lives, and in the end they can only look away and sigh, and their realm will always stay in the first stage of the second level.
With the blessing of "Ju Yuan", the rich vitality overwhelmed Wei Ci.
If the body is compared to a funnel, then the inner palace is like a giant kettle with a straw under the funnel.
Although there is plenty of energy, it still takes a lot of time to fill it up. However, Wei Ci does not feel sorry for Jin Shu's energy points at all.
Because of the endless hunting during this period, Jinshu's energy points have skyrocketed from 16281 last time to 41930.
One breath, ten breaths, a hundred breaths... Soon, a full three hundred and twenty breaths passed.
With the influx of the last ray of vitality from heaven and earth, the inner palace was finally filled.
The "Gathering of Yuan" stopped, and the vitality of heaven and earth gradually returned to its original thinness. Wei Ci opened his eyes, and a trace of light flickered in them.
The second stage of the second level is complete!
Next came the third stage of training, and he didn't stop.
Relatively speaking, the third stage of cultivation is much simpler. It only requires the help of the inner palace to temper the body twice and transform the blood, bones, flesh, and skin.
This stage is actually laying the foundation for breaking through to the third level.
Some practitioners have limited potential and make breakthroughs before the third stage of the second level has been completed, and they can also enter the third level.
However, in that case, future achievements will be quite limited.
The inner palace is a magical place.
The body tempering of the first level only absorbs the free vitality of heaven and earth and is tempered from the outside to the inside. The second body tempering of the second level is from the inside out, guided by the inner palace, and uses its own vitality to carry out targeted treatment.
Tempered.
Wei Ci looked inside his body with his mental power, and his inner palace moved according to his heart. The extremely pure vitality surged towards his whole body and began to temper his body.
A heartbreaking itching began to feel deep in his body, but he was completely unmoved.
The tempering of bones is not just about enhancing the hardness and density of bones and joints, but more importantly, it requires blood and marrow replacement, and nothing should be done carelessly.
Wei Ci followed the guidance of the Seven Realms Third Level Cultivation Method and tried while groping.
He knew that if he wanted to temper all the blood, bones, flesh, and skin, the process would be very long.
Several days passed in a flash.
As the surrounding vegetation gradually becomes less and less, the road becomes smoother and smoother, and a rather majestic city wall appears in view.
Lancheng is finally here!
Wei Ci looked at the dense jungle behind him where the roars of strange beasts could be heard from time to time, and was filled with emotion.
Although it felt good to practice and improve while hunting, if he stayed in the cloud forest any longer, he would almost become a primitive man.
As imagined, if you want to enter the city, you must pay 1 medium-grade Yuan Stone. As for other requirements, there are no requirements.
The original purpose of the city's existence was to protect humans and isolate alien beasts. Although it has developed to this day, its nature is no longer that simple.
The noisy sound has not stopped since Wei Ci entered the city gate.
Although strength is respected in this world, in reality, he cannot escape eating, drinking and having fun. Some of the chambers of commerce, teahouses, and small stalls and vendors that belong to this world opened his eyes.
Lancheng is indeed the largest city on Xingyuan Island, far more prosperous than Shize Town.
"Hey, shopkeeper, how do you sell this beast crystal?"
Turning his head, Wei Ci noticed that a cultivator was coming to the shop behind him.
He was happy when he saw the name of the shop.
The people in this world are the same as in the previous life! The name on the store plaque is actually called "Buy Loss and Guarantee Compensation", which is interesting!
"You are blind and can't read? Isn't it written in black and white below?" The shopkeeper replied without raising his head while lying on the chair.
The practitioner's attire was extremely ordinary, but his aura was not even at the first level.
What good products can a first-level practitioner offer?
The shopkeeper didn't even bother to look.
"Huh! If you still do business with such an attitude, even if I have good things, I won't sell them to you." The practitioner glanced at a few inconspicuous price tags under the counter and left with an annoyed look on his face.
Wei Ci glanced at the signs, thoughtfully.
The value of the beast essence crystals of primary, intermediate, high-level and peak level alien beasts here are 1, 2, 5 and 10 low-grade essence stones respectively.
Correspondingly, general-level exotic beasts have 25, 50, 100, and 150 low-grade Yuan stones.
His eyes lit up. Fortunately, the beast crystals of those general-level beasts were not directly absorbed by Jin Shu.
It is indeed worth more when exchanged for Yuan Stone.
The average value of a beast crystal of a general-level primary alien beast in the golden book is about 200 energy points. If it is sold for 25 yuan stones and given to the golden book, it will be 250 energy points.
The difference is mainly reflected in labor costs.
After all, the higher the level of exotic beasts, the fewer they are in number and the more difficult they are to hunt.
The value is too low, and I am afraid no one is willing to risk their lives for hunting.
As for the beast crystals of low-level alien beasts, the hunting difficulty is too low, and the number of alien beasts is relatively large, so the value is extremely low.
At this time, Wei Ci still had a lot of general-level and a small number of king-level beasts left in various materials, but he did not intend to sell them at this store. It was still necessary to compare shopping.
However, after asking around, he was dazzled.
Lancheng is so big that I can wander aimlessly for days and nights without ever reaching the end.
"Fellow Taoist, are you here for the first time and want to find a suitable chamber of commerce to trade items?"
Just when he was about to find a decent chamber of commerce and prepare to sell the materials in his hand, a somewhat tentative voice came from beside him.
Wei Ci turned around and saw that the person who stopped him was a man with a shiny face.
Judging from the appearance, he is much older than himself, but his aura only seems to be that of the first level.
"I'm Liao Wu, I've met fellow Taoist!"
Seeing Wei Ci stop, he quickly raised his hands and bowed.
"Oh? Are you familiar with Lancheng?" Wei Ci thought for a while and asked, it's not unusual for such people to exist in this world.
Liao Wu patted his chest, looking quite confident.
He said loudly: "That's natural. Although my strength is low, I, Liao Wu, have been working hard in Lan City for several years. I am very familiar with all the major chambers of commerce!"
After saying that, he smiled flatteringly and said: "If you are willing, fellow Taoist, you only need 1 middle-grade Yuan stone, and I will definitely help you find a suitable buyer for the transaction.
"In addition, if fellow Taoists have any questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
Wei Ci looked Liao Wu up and down, but did not nod immediately.
If the other party is indeed familiar with this place, he doesn't mind paying a small price to save himself some time, but he is afraid that if he meets a sixth person, he won't be able to help, and will waste his time in vain.
At this time, several mutterings from the crowd around him fell into his ears.
"Look, Liao Wu is deceiving newcomers again." A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes whispered.
Another slightly younger cultivator next to the middle-aged man heard this and mocked: "Bah, a middle-grade Yuan Stone, why didn't he grab it?"
"Even if he is familiar enough with Lancheng, others can take the job for 20 yuan of low-grade yuan stones, but he dares to ask for 1 yuan of medium-grade yuan stones. What kind of idiot would ask him to lead the way!"
"That's right..."
The practitioners' ears were amazing, and even though there were noisy sounds around them, Wei Ci still heard those words word for word.
He glanced at Liao Wu with a dark look on his face and walked away.
I almost got tricked by this guy.
If he really has to spend 1 middle-grade Yuan Stone, doesn't that make him look a little stupid?
"No, no, no, no, fellow Taoist, don't leave. The price is negotiable. Although my charges are high, the quality is guaranteed!" Liao Wu caught up with Wei Ci in a few steps and said beside him.
Wei Ci was unmoved and his steps did not stop.
Liao Wu refused to give up and said: "80,80 pieces of low-grade yuan stones, I, Liao San, guarantee that I will serve fellow Taoists comfortably!"
Wei Ci was speechless.
This guy is so shameless!
But let’s not talk about it. The more you are like this, the easier it is to get things done sometimes.
20 pieces of low-grade Yuanshi appeared in his hand, and he said to Liao Wu: "How about I pay you part first and treat it as a deposit, and then give you the rest?"
Liao Wu's face was filled with joy, and there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Other cultivators would only take out their rewards after finishing their work, but Wei Ci was willing to pay part of it first, which moved him a little.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, whatever you want to do, just leave it to me, Liao San, to lead the way!"
Wei Ci said: "I just went to the Cloud Forest and hunted a lot of strange beasts. I plan to sell the materials first and then buy some training resources. Oh, and I also need to repair an inscribed magic weapon."
During this period of time when hunting exotic beasts, the Qingling Bow was used too frequently, and the bow arms had a few minor cracks.
Although with his current level of cultivation, it could no longer exert Wei Ci's full strength, it was a rare thing that he could use, so he planned to repair it and make do with it for a while.
Once it reaches the third level, Qingling Bow will be eliminated.
The weight of the black iron longbow made it quite laborious to move with his second-level physique. According to his estimation, it would be more appropriate to wait until the third-level before starting to use it.
The long bow that was originally used to learn the basics of archery has been left to gather dust in the Sumeru space. It is time to make its debut.
Liao Wu praised: "My fellow Taoist is young, but he can go hunting alone. He must have extraordinary strength. It is really enviable!"
