Ji Li just planned to return to Lingdan Pavilion to buy some books on alchemy. Unexpectedly, a sneaky person suddenly came over at this time, which made him frown slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Haha, don't worry, young master, I am from an underground wasteland city. We have a lot of things there, including spiritual elixirs and talismans, and we even have many more special things, and the prices are much cheaper than here. Young master might as well go and take a look." The thin man said with a kind smile. He could see that Ji Li was very young and guessed that he might be someone who came to participate in the selection of the Holy Academy.

"Underground black market?" Ji Li was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a thing here.

"What are you doing!" At this moment, the guards of the Lingdan Pavilion also saw the thin man and shouted immediately.

While nodding and bowing, the man whispered to Ji Li: "Young master, come with me quickly, you will definitely not disappoint you."

"Where is it in the city?" Ji Li asked after pondering for a while.

"Yes, it's very safe in a courtyard in the city. You can rest assured." The man saw Ji Li's concern and promised with a smile, while walking forward towards Ji Li.

Ji Li nodded, and then followed him. He thought that there were indeed not many bad coins on him now, and he also wanted to see what the underground black market was like. Of course, now he came to the Tianmu tribe and saw that there were many strong people here, and safety was the first priority. He paid attention to the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, and he would retreat immediately when there was danger.

After all, he didn't know if this man would be a thief, so he deliberately led him to rob him.

"This is the first time that my young master has come to Tianmu Tribe?" The man on the road seemed quite kind and talked to Ji Li.

Ji Li just nodded gently again.

"Haha, the Tianmu Tribe is indeed a good place, but you can't stay here without the waste coins. You have to spend a lot of waste coins here every day, so we have to come up with various ways to make money. It is too difficult to open a shop in the Tianmu Tribe, so we have a wasteland city like us." The man explained again.

Ji Li can understand that in the Tianmu tribe, it is forbidden to the night. When it comes to the early morning of the evening, people who have no residence will be expelled from the tribe, or even killed on the spot. It can also be imagined that the residence here must be very expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

"Young Master, you should also be here to participate in the Holy Academy selection? It's more than a month before the actual selection begins. At that time, our preliminary competition in the East Region will be held in the Tianmu Tribe. There will be more and more people in the Tianmu Tribe. During this period, the prices of hotels will definitely increase a lot, and all kinds of things will cost money. You can give you a lot of money when you come to our deserted city." The man said with a smile again.

"The preliminary round of the Eastern Region is held in the Tianmu Tribe?" Ji Li was stunned when he heard the most important message in the other party's words. He always thought he was going to the Holy Capital.

"Yes, don't you know? It's not that easy to participate in the Holy Academy selection. It is said that there will be more than one million people participating in the selection this time, but not all of them will flock to the Holy Capital. Qi Realm warriors can directly enter the re-examination, but the Ability Realm warriors are the ten royal tribes in the four major domains responsible for the preliminary selection." The man said.

"There are millions of people participating in the East Wilderness..." Ji Li was shocked, but he didn't expect that the selection of the Holy Academy would be so intense this time. There are so many geniuses in the entire Great Wilderness world, like stars. A warrior under the age of eighteen can be called a genius in the Fire Bird tribe, but it can be said that nothing is wrong here. There are countless people who have reached the seventh level of the Energy Realm, and it takes millions to calculate.

At this moment, he felt that he was so small.

It would be difficult enough to pass this primary election.

Fortunately, he learned the news now, otherwise he would be in vain to rush to Shengdu directly.

"It's here. Welcome the young master to our deserted city. If you are satisfied this time, please come and visit us for more and introduce it to your friends in the future." At this moment, the man stopped and pointed to a magnificent courtyard and said.

Ji Li raised his head and found that there were guards inside and outside the courtyard. These guards were at least at least the eighth level of the energy realm. Occasionally, many powerful people in Qi realm appeared. It can be said that it is unlikely to make trouble here.

Before entering the deserted city, he had to pay ten deserted coins first, which made him feel a little painful, and he sighed that no matter how much money he had to come here, he was not enough to spend.

I didn't hear much noise outside, but when I walked into the deserted city, I could see that it was quite lively inside, with many people coming and going, and there were many stalls on the ground in rows, with a seller in front of each stall.

This is actually the free trade market.

Ji Li walked around and found that there were indeed everything here, and the price was much cheaper than outside. Of course, some elixirs and talismans are not as high-grade as outside. After all, the more powerful the alchemist and talisman masters are, the higher the status, and they rarely put down their figure and come here to set up stalls.

After walking for a while, he stopped next to a stall.

The stall sells some things related to alchemy. There are no elixirs, but there are some basic books on alchemy and also some elixirs. They are exactly what he needs.

"Do you need something?" The stall owner was a young man who looked a little down and out. He seemed to have been selling for a long time but no one cared about it. Seeing Ji Li stopping, he asked quickly. In fact, most of the people who come here buy spiritual pills. It is difficult to become an alchemist. People who have no spare money will not buy these things, because they may become rags after buying them.

Ji Li squatted down, looked at the simple introduction to alchemy books, and then looked at the black alchemy furnace that looked a little rusty. This alchemy furnace is not big, the size of a football, and it is not conspicuous on the outside, because it looks very cheap because it is rusty.

However, he felt that the alchemy furnace was a little attracted to him, so he raised his head and looked at the young man and asked casually: "Are you an alchemist?"

"No, these are all my father's things. He is barely considered an alchemist. He has only been in contact with the alchemy for more than ten years and has only been able to refine ordinary medicine liquids and medicine powders. He has never refined a real medicine. Until last year, he just refined a real spiritual elixir. I didn't expect that at the moment of becoming a pill, I didn't know if he was overly excited and suddenly died." The young man shook his head sadly, and then said honestly.

"It turns out that you have to become a pill to be considered a real alchemist?" Hearing this, Ji Li understood in his heart. No wonder elixirs are so expensive. It turns out that not everyone can refine elixirs. Thinking that the young man's father could not successfully refine real elixirs for more than ten years, it can be seen that the threshold for this alchemy is so high.

This young man probably doesn't have the talent in this area, so he took out all these things and sold them.

Ji Li then asked about the prices separately, three books about the introduction to the alchemy path plus a elixir furnace, two books that are said to be the old man’s alchemy notes, some medicine stones that are said to be used to increase the success rate of elixir formation, and the alchemy flint carbon used to refine alchemy. The total amount of these things is worth 650 coins.

Finally, after bargaining, the transaction was finally sold at a price of 500 coins. Because these things are all old goods, they will be cheaper. If they are a complete set of new ones, they will not be able to get the price of Lingdan Pavilion for less than three or four thousand.

The coin he had just obtained was almost cleared again, making Ji Li seem painful. But he also knew that if he wanted to learn to refine elixirs, it would not work without some investment. Moreover, once he refined the elixir, the return on the money would be very fast.

Of course, he just casually looked through the introduction manual of the alchemy and felt that this art was very profound. Although he had strong mental power, it was far from as easy as he had begun to imagine that it was.

I spent a long time in the deserted city, and although I also liked some things, I was short of money and could not buy anything.

In the end, he had to leave helplessly, intending to go back and make some martial arts talismans and earn some coins before coming.

However, just as he was about to walk out the door, he suddenly felt a faint burning heat coming from the blood-colored fragments in his arms, which had never been before...
