This time, already at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had enough power to protect himself in the market, and if he wanted to acquire the recipe for the Golden Yuan Pill, then the actions of his alias Chen Sheng would inevitably be different.
Liang Sheng based on the market situation, extrapolated countless scenarios. Unless a mighty cultivator above the Golden Core Level would kill him without asking questions, his plan could not possibly have any significant mishaps.
Now, Liang Sheng confidently went about his usual routine – registering his identity at the Administration Office and then renting a medium-sized Cave Mansion with a Concealment Formation. He left amidst the surprised gazes of the registering cultivators.
There were not many Loose Cultivators at the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation who rented medium-level cave mansions. Although the others were surprised, they didn’t comment much. After all, they were profiting from it.
This time, Liang Sheng, who was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, finally saw through the three-story small building to the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator above. The latter was no longer Ding Yizhen of the Xuanmen Sect.
More than twenty years ago, Ding Yizhen of the Xuanmen Sect had already completed his duty of guarding the area and returned to his sect. At this moment, Liang Sheng was unsure about the identity of this new Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Liang Sheng did not question Huang Yifan or the other two about the current situation in the market. He chose to maintain a mysterious persona in front of them. All they needed to do was to be efficient farmers.
Liang Sheng wasn’t too concerned about it, knowing that in the coming days, he would gather all the basic information he needed.
The identity that Liang Sheng currently held was selected thoughtfully. His goal was to let the market know that a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer Alchemist like him exists.
Having reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Liang Sheng possessed the confidence to protect himself. Those who would scheme against him, as long as they were not of the Golden Core level, would…
Face certain death.
Moreover, the market at most would have one Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from the Three Sects and Six Orders. Liang Sheng’s decision was already thoroughly thought out, having no risks.
Naturally, Liang Sheng was doing all this in preparation for breaking through to the Golden Core level. While he knew he still had a long way to go before reaching the Golden Core Realm, it never hurt to be prepared.
As for the recipe for the Golden Yuan Pill, he needed a reliable method to acquire it. Hence, the identity of an Alchemist was the most suitable choice.
He did not want his Alchemist identity to be too conspicuous, which is why he decided to disguise himself as a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator.
This cultivation level was neither too high nor too low – it was just right.
All he needed to do in the future was to act within the rules. Besides, Alchemists wielded a certain level of prestige in the market.
Some loose cultivators couldn’t afford the elixirs sold at the shops of the Three Sects and Six Orders. The alchemists among the Loose Cultivators naturally became the sources for their cultivation elixirs.
As he walked, Liang Sheng contemplated his future plans, such as how to safely reveal his identity as an Alchemist. He eventually moved into his new Cave Mansion.
Indeed, it was better to have the Concealment Formation, which ensured the privacy of his cave mansion. As an Alchemist, the privacy was of utmost importance.
Liang Sheng was satisfied with his new cave mansion.
Now, everything was ready, all he needed was an opportunity.
A new Alchemist had arrived in the market.
This news quietly spread across the market. His pills were of extremely high quality and yet were very reasonably priced, which was very appealing to the general public.
He even offered high-grade elixirs, to the delight of many, giving the high-level Qi cultivators in the market another option to purchase high-quality elixirs.
Early in the morning, as Liang Sheng stepped out of his cave mansion, he caught sight of the smiling face of the owner of the cave mansion opposite his. Throughout his route, all the loose cultivators he encountered were extremely friendly towards him.
Though Liang Sheng appeared emotionless, the people around him didn’tt think too much of it and waited for him until he left.
Once he arrived in the central area of the market, there were only a dozen or so stalls in total. As soon as Liang Sheng arrived at his own, someone greeted him.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, you’re here. Let’s set up our stalls together.”
The person speaking was a Qi-Training Seventh Level Loose Cultivator, but when he looked at Liang Sheng, his demeanor was that of an equal. Liang Sheng, who appeared aloof just now, greeted him back with a smile.
Qin Chen, an Alchemist at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
As for the Artifact Refiner whose stall was not far from them, his booth was filled with several magical weapons. His expression was also emotionless.
Not far away, there was a Talisman Maker, an Array Master…
Simply put, this place was the high-end vending spot in the market. Each vendor had a special skill set. For instance, Qin Chen and Liang Sheng, who were excellent Alchemists.
If one didn’t have enough abilities, they wouldn’t be able to set up a stall here. In other words, they were definitely some of the best craftspeople in the market.
For instance, at a talisman booth a few steps away from Liang Sheng’s booth, there were many likely attack talismans, much better than Zhou Sheng’s talismans regarding quality.
Even though these people might not have the highest cultivation levels in the market, their skills ranked among the topmost in the market.
Even the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer loose cultivators treated them with due respect—after all, no one could be certain if they would need someone else’s skills one day.
At that time, Qin Chen took Liang Sheng aside, disregarding the pills on their stalls, and began discussing the method of refining pills with Liang Sheng.
Just then, a loose cultivator who wanted to buy pills arrived at the booth. Seeing the situation, he felt slightly awkward.
Despite being a guest, he didn’t dare interrupt Qin Chen. Should Qin Chen become unhappy, it was possible he wouldn’t be able to buy his pills.
The elixirs sold at the shops of Three Sects and Six Orders were priced higher, and he couldn’t afford them. Therefore, all he could do was to smile awkwardly and wait for Qin Chen’s and Liang Sheng’s conversation to finish.
Luckily, Liang Sheng spoke, easing his awkwardness, “Fellow Daoist Qin, why don’t we let this Daoist friend purchase his pills first, then we can continue with our discussion?”
