Chapter 116 The Battle of Alchemists

Zhou Tian shook his head and put the iron piece containing the information about the Moon King's inheritance back into his storage space.

He was not greatly moved by the ancient powerful being's pretentious attitude.

While a cultivation level at the Refinement stage is invincible in Qingzhou City, it is not considered top-tier in the entire cultivation world.

"The Mahayana stage...that's a good goal."

A smile curved Zhou Tian's lips, and a wild glint flashed in his eyes.

Once he is powerful enough, he will easily conquer any Moon King or Moon Queen, and they will obediently submit.

Pulling his thoughts back, Zhou Tian sat cross-legged and began circulating the "Secret Records of the Purple Mansion".

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhou Tian slowly opened his eyes, and the spiritual energy around him receded into his body like a tide.

After a night of cultivation, his cultivation level had steadily advanced from the early stage of Void Refinement to the peak of the early stage of Void Refinement.

He was just one step away from reaching the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Zhou Tian hasn't cultivated on his own for a long time.

However, it must be said that if Zhou Tian were to cultivate the Purple Mansion Secret Manual, he could significantly increase his combat power.

"Today is easy."

Zhou Tian stood up, changed into an ordinary blue robe, and concealed all his aura.

At this moment, he looked like an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, nothing special.

His task for today was simple: to visit the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

Now that they have accepted Ziyun as their Daoist partner, they naturally need to integrate her influence into the Tai Xuan Sword Sect's system.

Make Ziyun Pavilion the most powerful force in Qingzhou City.

It can not only provide Zhou Tian with a stable supply of resources, but also establish a solid outpost for the Tai Xuan Sword Sect in this area.

"Liu Mei and Bai Hua should stay at the Liu family to consolidate their cultivation."

Zhou Tian's thoughts stirred slightly, without alerting anyone.

The next moment, his figure rippled like water and disappeared into the room.

Shrinking the earth to an inch.

This is a spatial teleportation technique that only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage can master.

Although it's not true teleportation, it can still cover distances of tens of miles in the blink of an eye.

......

Ziyun Pavilion is located on the most bustling South Street in Qingzhou City. It occupies a vast area and has five floors.

With its carved beams and painted rafters, it is magnificent and imposing. A gilded plaque hangs in front of the gate, bearing the three large, elegant characters "Ziyun Pavilion".

Zhou Tian stood across the street, his Golden Eyes of Truth silently scanning the entire building.

"They mainly deal in talismans and elixirs...that's quite comprehensive."

He could see clearly that the first floor of Ziyun Pavilion was the talisman area, the second floor was the pill area, and the third floor and above were the VIP area and warehouse.

The number of cultivators coming and going was endless, and the business was booming.

Compared to comprehensive auction houses like Tianbaoge, Ziyunge is clearly more specialized.

Zhou Tian straightened his robes and stepped into the Ziyun Pavilion.

As soon as you enter, a faint fragrance of medicine and the unique spiritual energy of talismans waft towards you.

The hall was spacious and bright, with various talismans displayed on both sides.

From the most basic fire talismans and ice cone talismans to advanced earth-遁 (earth-遁) talismans and invisibility talismans, everything is available.

"Welcome to Ziyun Pavilion, sir!"

A maid in a light purple dress quickly approached, her smile sweet, her cultivation level around the sixth level of Qi Refining.

She glanced at Zhou Tian and, seeing that he was dressed plainly and had an ordinary demeanor, greeted him according to the usual procedure.

"What would you like, sir? Talismans or elixirs? Our shop has a full range of items at fair prices."

"Just browsing."

Zhou Tian said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the display shelves.

The maid's smile remained unchanged upon hearing this.

"Please make yourself at home, sir. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

After speaking, he stepped aside, but his gaze still occasionally swept over.

Zhou Tian didn't mind and slowly strolled around the hall.

It must be said that Ziyun Pavilion's goods are indeed much more abundant than Tianbao Pavilion's.

There are dozens of varieties of talismans alone, and each variety is further divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.

The medicine section was even more dazzling, from healing pills to cultivation aids like Qi Gathering Pills, and breakthrough pills to help break through bottlenecks—everything was available.

"The fourth-grade elixir, 'Golden Condensation Pill,' is priced at eight hundred spirit stones."

Zhou Tian stopped in front of a counter, looked at the golden pill in the jade box that emitted a faint fragrance, and nodded slightly.

The Condensing Gold Pill is a commonly used auxiliary pill for Foundation Establishment peak cultivators when breaking through to the Golden Core stage, and it can increase the success rate by 10%.

This price is considered fair in Qingzhou City, after all, alchemists are rare, and those who can refine fourth-grade pills must at least be at the Golden Core stage.

Just as Zhou Tian was about to go upstairs to take a look, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

"Danxia Sect is conducting business; all unauthorized personnel must immediately withdraw!"

The voice was sharp and piercing, carrying an undisguised arrogance.

The guests in the hall frowned, and many showed signs of disgust.

But upon hearing the words "Danxia Sect," they all held back and silently retreated to the sides.

Zhou Tian noticed that the purple-clad maid who had just greeted him changed her expression and quickly said to Zhou Tian.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, but we've encountered some trouble. If you're not in a hurry, you can take refuge on the second floor for now."

"trouble?"

Zhou Tian raised an eyebrow, but instead of leaving, he asked with great interest.

"What's the trouble? Tell me about it."

The maid hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice.
