Lu Xia Tian listened attentively to what the man with the furrowed brows and several other Foundation Establishment cultivators had said. Then, he mentioned his intention to cancel his cave abode. In Lan Ming City, ordering a cave for transcending tribulation generally required a two-month non-refundable spirit stone deposit. For periods exceeding two months, only half the spirit stones were refunded. Typically, the time spent by Foundation Establishment cultivators entering and leaving this place wouldn't exceed three to five months. Someone like Lu Xia Tian, who stayed for about a year, was indeed rare. Several people checked the mountain where Lu Xia Tian's cave abode was located. The small hill had been struck by tribulation lightning, reducing its height. After deducting the cost of rebuilding the cave abode, Lu Xia Tian received less than six hundred middle-grade spirit stones back, which amounted to less than sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This point of spirit stones is naturally of little use to a Golden Core cultivator, it's almost negligible.

Lu Xiaitian received the spirit stones and, following the directions of the men with the thick eyebrows, quickly arrived at the marketplace of Lan Ming City.

>

When Lu Xiaocen arrived at the city market, he truly witnessed the bustling nature of Lanming City's marketplace. Compared to Wangyue City back home, it was worlds apart. After all, in Wangyue City, most cultivators were Qi Refiners, and Core Formation cultivators rarely set up stalls in the marketplace. However, in Lanming City, some nascent Golden Core cultivators who had just recently crossed the tribulation wanted to sell off some unnecessary artifacts or spirit items, then buy Liwu Lingcao to refine their artifacts and hope to quickly enhance their strength. Some also purchased pills used in the early stages of Golden Core to solidify their cultivation base. After all, they had just formed their Golden Cores, and most of them who were from scattered cultivators were already running low on funds. They needed Liwu Lingcao to refine their artifacts and boost their strength before they could hunt for demon beasts again. Seventh-order demon beasts were too powerful for most newly ascended Golden Core cultivators, while those below the seventh order didn't offer much profit, failing to meet the needs of Golden Core cultivators for spirit stones.

There are also some trading alliances stationed here, specializing in selling various magical artifacts used by foundation-building cultivators to cross the tribulation. There are even some formations, but the price is relatively high. The liquid mist spirit grass needed for a golden core cultivator to cross the tribulation is not difficult to find, but the price is not cheap. Lu Xia Tian looked at several shops and found that it cost nearly 800,000 low-grade spirit stones per plant. He was speechless about this. The liquid mist spirit grass with a shorter cultivation year would generally not be collected by cultivators because only golden core cultivators could use it, and even if the cultivation year was short, it wouldn't work. It was useless to collect it.

Therefore, he thought about intentionally collecting seeds of these spiritual herbs from some foundation-building cultivators. This wasn't an easy task either. With good luck, it could be done in a few days or a month or two. If unlucky, it might take three to five months, or even over a year. Lu Xia Tian didn't have the time to do this kind of thing. After looking at the prices of liquid mist spiritual herbs from several businesses, he found they were all the same. Lu Xia Tian looked around, pondering where to set up his stall, and decided to sell his condensed gold pills and a few rejuvenating pills to exchange for some spirit stones.

“Senior, are you perhaps looking to sell something” A black-faced young cultivator at a stall obsequiously looked towards Lu Xiaodao.

“Not bad, but it seems there are quite a lot of people here. Finding a good spot won't be easy.” Lu Xia Tian nodded.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Just so happens my things are almost sold out, why don't you, senior, just take over my stall and keep selling I’ll go to a friend’s place to pick up some magic artifacts and formation discs and come back to continue setting up.” The youth with a black face said with bright eyes.

"This, will it work" Lu Xia Tian asked in surprise, "I don't have that much stall fee for you."

“No, no, no, this junior wouldn't dare charge the senior for their stall fee. All I ask is that the senior helps me hold this spot. When I return, in at most an hour, I will be back. After I return, until the senior sells all their wares, you can continue to occupy this position.” The youth with a black face stated.

Lu Xiaitian immediately understood the other person's plan. They wanted him to hold the stall for them, so they could come back later without someone else taking it. After all, this location was pretty good, with a lot of foot traffic. Otherwise, his magical artifacts and other spiritual objects wouldn't sell so quickly.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you to return. By the way, your main area of study is water-based techniques, right I happen to have a few extra Water Condensation Golden Pills here that I'm selling. If you're interested, you can stay and bid on them."

Although this black-faced youth was merely doing a favor, Lu Xia Tian reciprocated the gesture. He had many condensed gold pills on him, covering all five elements. It wouldn't make much difference which one he sold, so he decided to give this young man an opportunity. This black-faced youth was only at the seventh level of foundation building and hadn't cultivated any special techniques to conceal his aura. Lu Xia Tian could naturally see through his fluctuations in mana with a glance.

“What, what, several water-system Gold Core Pills” The black-faced youth was just about to turn around and leave, going to collect some more artifacts to set up his stall. However, after hearing Lu Xiaoteng’s words, he suddenly felt like he couldn’t move his feet. Like other Foundation Establishment cultivators, he worked so hard to earn spirit stones, naturally hoping to one day be able to advance to the Golden Core stage like Lu Xiaoteng. Just except for a very small number of exceptionally gifted prodigies, most cultivators need Gold Core Pills to help them complete the final leap before ascending, attracting the lightning tribulation. Even in the Azure Demon Sea region where spiritual creatures are so abundant, Gold Core Pills are rare and wouldn’t be easily released from those sects onto the market.

Thus, besides those cultivators who wished to form golden pills, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators preferred to spend some spirit stones entering Lan Ming City. They sought that sliver of a chance to obtain the Golden Core Pill. Although most cultivators who had already formed their cores would not easily sell any excess Golden Core Pills they had, after all, even these Core Formation cultivators, despite having formed their cores, still had relatives and friends. However, there were some cultivators with no ties who, because they no longer needed them and urgently needed to improve their strength, sold their Golden Core Pills within a short period of time.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators ventured to the offshore islands for adventure. Due to their good fortune, they reaped abundant harvests. Thus, they came to Blue Myriad City to try their luck, engaging in some buying and selling to support their daily cultivation while collecting the Golden Core Pills they desired. The black-faced cultivator before them was such a case.

Lu XiaTian probably also had this kind of situation, just like in the story "A Solemn Immortal" by Sheng

Most foundation establishment cultivators could prepare one or two Jindan for crossing the tribulation, which was already considered good. The golden core senior in front of him, who didn't seem much older than him, actually had three more Jindan in his hands.

“Many thanks, senior, for the reminder. This junior naturally needs to refine Golden Pills. I wonder what price, senior, has in mind” The young man with a black face’s eyes lit up at this moment, rubbing his hands together, looking eager and impatient.

"Of course, we'll bid against each other. The highest bidder wins." Lu Xia Tian flashed a smile on his face. He saw through the cultivation method of the young man with a black face and reminded him that he had already returned the favor from earlier. Now that Lu Xia Tian was also short on spirit stones, he wouldn't be a fool and do something out of kindness.

"Yes, yes, what the senior said is true." The young man with a black face suddenly came to his senses and nodded hurriedly.ther. The Fire Poison Flying Ant's nest should be nearby, but because it was close to this gloomy place, some of the ants had been steeped in the ghostly aura for years, causing them to mutate. 。“Loo...
