Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 836 Temporary Measures

For four or five days in a row, Chen Yunhao came to the Fairy Market every day, and each time he would walk around it from beginning to end.

Firstly, it's to broaden my horizons, and secondly, it's to find some treasures that can be helpful to me.

Another point is that he also wants to get to know some other immortals here.

Sometimes, information can be found not in ancient texts, but rather by talking to immortals.

There were many good things in the Immortal Market, but unfortunately Chen Yunhao was short of money. He looked around a lot but bought very little. He only managed to get a few more jade slips and a dozen more Earth Origin Pills.

This Earthly Essence Pill is a special elixir developed for Earth Immortals, and it can at least allow Chen Yunhao to reach the mid-stage of Earth Immortal.

Earth Origin Pills are much more expensive than Vitality Pills; one Earth Origin Pill is worth the price of twenty Vitality Pills.

In the past few days, Chen Yunhao communicated with the spirit of the artifact several times and got a general understanding of the current situation of the ancient mirror.

Currently, there hasn't been an opportunity to upgrade the ancient mirror, so its abilities are limited.

At present, these elixirs cannot be replicated, and neither can immortal artifacts.

However, if Chen Yunhao wants to replicate a small number of items, there is another way: he can collect a large number of immortal stones and provide them to the ancient mirror so that it can absorb a large amount of immortal energy, which can also solve the temporary problem.

Once the ancient mirror has absorbed all the immortal energy, it can no longer replicate, so the number of treasures that can be replicated is limited.

Chen Yunhao certainly didn't want this temporary solution; he wanted a permanent solution.

He also did a careful calculation: if the ancient mirror absorbed twenty immortal stones to replicate the Yuanqi Pill, it could replicate a maximum of three pills.

In other words, he could get one more than if he bought it directly with immortal stones, which could be considered as having a surplus, but not much.

But no matter what, there will always be some left over, and he can make a profit from it. That's the only way to do it for now.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao gave 80% of the immortal stones in his hand to the artifact spirit, letting it devour them.

As for the Vitality Pills that Chen Yunhao bought, he had already taken them, and now he takes one every two days.

As expected of a divine pill, each pill has an effect that lasts for two days, and even if he doesn't meditate or cultivate, the effect continues to be released.

This also means that his cultivation level is increasing little by little, albeit very little.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao, who was already short of money, had even fewer extra immortal stones. Most of the time, he would just broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.

He's not like he was when he first started out, when he was a complete novice.

I now have some understanding of the immortal realm, but the more I learn, the more I realize how insignificant I am.

I am now in the state of an immortal, but I am at the very bottom among immortals, only slightly stronger than those cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage.

I never imagined that the immortals who were admired by everyone in the mortal realm would be nothing special once they actually arrived in the immortal realm.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao decided to stay in Anfeng Immortal City for a while and not leave for the time being.

In the past few days, he has been running around that ordinary market for several days, exchanging ordinary resources from the lower realm for some immortal stones, not many, only five or six thousand.

With his inexhaustible resources, exchanging them for tens of thousands of immortal stones would not be a problem.

However, given his personality, it's best to keep a low profile. After all, he's not alone; he has the Ancient Mirror behind him. He absolutely cannot expose himself, or he will face utter ruin. These are the Ancient Mirror's exact words.

He was already very cautious in the mortal realm, and he had to be even more so in the immortal realm.

Having immortal stones in hand, staying at an inn is no longer appropriate, as this inn is for ordinary cultivators.

Anyone who has reached the Immortal Realm rents a cave dwelling upon arriving in Anfeng Immortal City, as it greatly aids their cultivation.

The cave dwelling was located in a mountain range dozens of miles outside the city, not within the city itself.

Because the city is small and there are no spiritual veins, it is impossible to set up a spirit-gathering array.

The mountain range outside the city has spiritual veins, and the sect behind Anfeng Immortal City has deployed a large-scale spirit-gathering array, turning the entire valley into a blessed land.

The place is filled with a misty, ethereal atmosphere, making it perfect for immortals to cultivate. The only downside is its high price.

The annual rent is 10,000 immortal stones, so Chen Yunhao rented it for three months first.

Although he said he plans to stay temporarily, it won't be a permanent stay; about three months should be enough.

If it's just about seclusion and cultivation, even three years might not yield any significant progress.

Once they reach the level of immortals, arduous cultivation is no longer very meaningful; they mainly rely on opportunities and comprehending the Dao and the laws of nature.

Therefore, once you reach the Immortal Realm, there are only four stages: early, middle, late, and perfect. There is no longer a distinction between the first to the ninth level. This is enough to show that advancing in the Immortal Realm is not entirely based on gradual accumulation.

Of course, things aren't absolute. The fact that even immortals like to seek out blessed lands suggests that it does offer some degree of help.

Forty or fifty cave dwellings have been carved out on both sides of the valley. Each cave dwelling occupies about two acres and has a small spiritual field inside, which is convenient for cultivators to plant.

Each cave dwelling is protected by a first-class immortal array, so safety is not an issue.

Chen Yunhao chose a cave dwelling that he liked, where he meditated and cultivated while digesting the books he had recently bought.

The immortal energy was indeed very strong, which was slightly helpful to cultivation, but the progress was minimal and negligible.

However, by carefully studying the ancient books he received, he gained a better understanding of the northern border of Yunhuang, though it was only partial information.

There isn't a single ancient text that can clearly describe the entire northern border of Yunhuang.

After all, the largest sect in the entire northern part of Yunhuang can only control the surrounding tens of millions of miles, which is just a drop in the ocean for the entire northern part of Yunhuang.

Because there is no unified sect, the entire northern border of Yunhuang is like a fragment, controlled by the human race, so there is no complete map of the northern border of Yunhuang.

No cultivator would travel all over the entire northern border of Yunhuang just to draw a panoramic map; it's impossible and unrealistic!

The map bought in the Fairy Market is indeed relatively comprehensive, but it only covers more than ten million miles at most.

This is already quite good. We can collect it again when we reach the next immortal city.

Chen Yunhao hadn't been cultivating much these days. Apart from taking a Qi-building pill every two days, he devoted himself to studying the classic texts and finally finished reading them in half a month.

After reading these classic texts, he was also considering his next steps.

Heading south is a must. Once you reach the southernmost point of the northern border of Yunhuang, there is an even larger immortal city, which is the third largest immortal city in the entire northern border of Yunhuang.

Although it is also located on the border, and even a city built on the edge of the Chaos Void Sea, it is completely different from the north and south. It is a paradise for immortals to cultivate, extremely prosperous!
