I still meditate and practice at night, but compared to the beginning, the feeling of practicing was very different.

The exercises of the Mai Fighting Art forcibly expand the meridians in the human body. Every time the spiritual energy enters the body, it is painful, as if the body is about to be torn apart from the inside!

Yang Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged, was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, and his muscles trembled rapidly at a visible amplitude of the naked eye. His surface was covered with blue veins, and he endured unimaginable pain.

The pain at this level is much less eased than when I first started practicing the Pulse Fighting Art. Yang Xiu could not imagine how much perseverance it would take if he did not start the foundation of the Spiritual Enlightenment Chapter but directly practiced the Pulse Fighting Art.

However, forcibly expanding the meridians is also beneficial to practice.

After these days of persistence, Yang Xiu's meridians can accommodate more and more spiritual power, and the number of times he can practice every day has also increased. From the first cycle of the world to three times a day, the cultivation speed has also improved by leaps and bounds.

"call……"

After completing the last spiritual energy cycle, Yang Xiu then breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes and felt the spiritual power in his body carefully. As long as he practiced like this day after day, he made a little progress every day and would get closer to the goal. Thinking of this, Yang Xiu felt a sense of accomplishment.

Get up and wash, put on his favorite gray robe, Yang Xiu came to the corner of the house and took out a small stack of paper pieces about inch square from a large wooden box. The Chinese characters on the paper are vigorous and powerful, which is the Taoist talisman that Yang Xiu specially prepared to defend himself.

Liu Xian's previous words reminded Yang Xiu that as the saying goes, the intention of being on guard is necessary, so Yang Xiu wrote these simple Taoist talismans in advance just in case. Tomorrow is the day when the new disciples of Tianshu Pavilion are introduced, and Yang Xiu doesn't want any accidents now.

Everything was done. Yang Xiu went to Huzi's house for breakfast and went out with Huzi. Aunt Liu was still nagging a little worriedly, asking the two of them not to go home too late.

If it were Yang Xiu, who used to be, would have responded impatiently, but now Yang Xiu agreed happily, enjoying the feeling of being cared for by his elders, and wondering whether he should buy two maids for Aunt Liu to come back, but Auntie would definitely not agree, and would criticize me for being extravagant and wasteful...

...

In the evening, Shanyin City was still bustling with lights and people were surging on the streets, and the hawkers were yelling at the top of their voices. Naughty children were hiking around in the crowd, holding the candied haws I just bought and laughing and playing. The whole Shanyin City was filled with a lively and joyful scene.

Tomorrow is the day when this year's disciples officially enter the Tianshu Pavilion. Today is the annual temple fair in Shanyin City. Vendors and shops within a radius of hundreds of miles will gather in the city, which is the second only to the New Year in Shanyin City.

Yang Xiu was not interested in the temple fair, but in the evening of the temple fair, there was a place where Yang Xiu had to go.

At the temple fair every year, the annual Shanyin Fair is organized next to the Wendao Wall, which is led by the Tianshu Pavilion. At the fair, many items that only cultivators can use, such as high-quality weapons, various primary elixirs, etc.

Before officially entering the sect, this is the only opportunity to buy the Fire Spirit Pill in advance.

The improvement of the initial stage of body tempering cultivation is recognized by the immortal cultivation world. When Yang Xiu thought that after purchasing the Fire Spirit Pill, the effect of daily cultivation could be greatly improved, he couldn't help but be excited.

"Brother Yang, your health is completely healed,"

Hu Zi followed Yang Xiu and said happily: "I can't compare to you a few days ago. Are you about to become a god?"

Yang Xiu smiled and didn't say anything. He dragged Hu Zi through the crowd quickly, thinking that one day he would succeed in his cultivation, he would definitely find a way to cure Hu Zi's disease. In this way, there was no need to worry that Aunt Liu would not be taken care of and let them live a real good life.

"Brother Yang, can you take me out of the city to play when you become a god?"

"Where do you want to go to play?"

"Well... they all say that the capital of Ningguo is very large, with a lot of people, and there are many delicious food and fun things. Then we will take our mother to go together!" Hu Zi said in a muffled voice with an excited face.

"Haha, okay, then I will have the fairy sword, and I will fly over with you 'swoosh'~"

"I want to buy candied haws when I get there..."

...

The two of them were laughing and happy all the way. They arrived at Wen Daobi not long after.

The temporary high platform was more than 1 zhang high, with extraordinary momentum and colorful flags flying, occupying almost half of the square. There are warriors holding weapons in the four corners of the high platform. These people are real immortal cultivators, and were specially sent by the Tianshu Pavilion to maintain the fair.

Yang Xiu looked at the shining weapons in the hands of those cultivators, and he couldn't help but fantasize about when he could have his own magic weapon. The competition in the world of cultivators is cruel, and killing and robbing people is common, and to enhance his strength, a handy magic weapon is indispensable.

However, thinking of the purpose of this visit, Yang Xiu quickly gathered his mind and stepped to the entrance of the platform.

"Stop!"

The guard at the entrance had no expression on his face, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and stopped Yang Xiu's face and said expressionlessly: "Those who are not cultivators cannot enter!"

Yang Xiu was slightly stunned when he heard this. Because it was his first time to come to the trade fair, Yang Xiu didn't know that there was such a rule, so he had to turn around and explain a few words to Hu Zi, so that the other party would not have to wait for him and go home before dark.

Then Yang Xiu took out the wooden sign of the Tianshu Pavilion, and the guards proved it correct, and then let it go.

The platform was made of bamboo poles as thick as thighs. As soon as he walked into the mouth, Yang Xiu felt a warm breath coming to his face, which was exactly the same as when he took the Immortal Arts Examination.

The platform was very empty, and the temporary shops set up by bamboo were three meters away from each other. They were full of cultivators with different outfits, which made Yang Xiu, who had seen this scene for the first time, dizzy.

The trade fairs are all the most basic products, and most of the cultivators who come here are in the early stages of body tempering. Yang Xiu has seen many literary students who take the exam at the same time, basically all of them are rich children. Like Yang Xiu, they are excited to choose their first cultivating items.

After walking around the trade fair, Yang Xiu found that there were many stalls selling fire spirit pills. It can be seen from the clothes and dress of the stall owners that these people were disciples of some immortal cultivation sects. They obtained fire spirit pills through various methods in the sects and sold some money from the secular world.

After all, cultivation itself is very boring. Occasionally, you have to use money to find fun in the world. Not everyone can focus on their minds and concentrate on cultivating immortals from beginning to end.

After careful comparison, Yang Xiu discovered something strange: the prices of fire spirit pills between different stalls are different, and the most expensive one is as high as 200 taels of silver than the cheapest one! Yang Xiu, who was puzzled, asked a stall owner carefully and then understood the key.

The main ingredient of this Fire Spirit Pill is to cherish herbs. The age of herbs and the method of refining elixirs will affect the efficacy of the medicine. The best Fire Spirit Pill is enough to match two or even three ordinary elixirs, which also involves the issue of cultivation time and efficiency, so the best elixirs are more expensive but are absolutely worth the money.

Yang Xiu rubbed his frown and thought for a moment, and decided to buy the best Fire Spirit Pill: Now he has the skills to forge the pulse in his hand, using the best pills to maximize the advantages of advanced exercises, and striving for the fastest cultivation speed is the wisest choice.

These days, the thousands of words were sold, and Liu Xian donated money yesterday, Yang Xiu had already made a considerable amount of money, but he was still a little short of money to buy a high-quality fire spirit pill, only enough to buy sixteen pieces...

In fact, Yang Xiu didn’t know that even those formal disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, most people take less than five fire spirit pills every year, let alone the best fire spirit pills. There are very few people like Yang Xiu who can make a lot of money with a complete thousand-character text and decisively spend silver on the blade.

After all, it is one thing to be able to practice the Spiritual Enlightenment Chapter, and it is another difficulty to be able to record it in full in the immortal texts. Otherwise, the number of various immortal cultivation scriptures would not be so rare.

After turning back and forth, the silver notes in his arms were spent one by one, and Yang Xiu finally bought sixteen top-quality fire spirit pills.

The best fire spirit pill is the size of a soybean and is bright red all over. Yang Xiu held the small pill in his hand and could vaguely smell a scent of scent. Just by smelling this smell, Yang Xiu could feel the spiritual power in his body being ready to move and full of vitality. He couldn't help but look forward to the efficacy of this pill.

Carefully put the elixir into the celadon bottle and hide it close to the body. The stone in Yang Xiu's heart finally fell to the ground. He subconsciously clenched his fists and thought to himself: With these elixirs, the speed of cultivation will definitely be higher, and strive to enter the fourth level as soon as possible and enter the middle stage of body tempering!

The lifespan of immortal cultivators in the body tempering stage is no different from that of ordinary people. They compete with God every day for time. No matter how good the talent is, it is useless to not enter the Qihai period before their life span is exhausted. Yang Xiu’s sense of urgency is not aimless.

There are also many good things at the trade fair, such as the long sword forged by fine steel. The two and a half feet of sword body is engraved with simple immortal texts, which is equivalent to strengthening with Taoist talismans, cutting iron like mud, but...

Yang Xiu glanced at the price of the sword and completely extinguished his thoughts of buying a baby.

Fortunately, the main purpose of this trip had been achieved, and Yang Xiu was about to leave directly. But after just a few steps, Yang Xiu accidentally found that the crowds around him were gathering in another direction, surrounding the three layers inside and three layers outside in the northwest corner of the platform, causing a lot of commotion.

Looking at the flag on the high platform, it is the symbol of the Tianshu Pavilion.

"The stall in Tianshu Pavilion?" Yang Xiu murmured, after thinking for a moment, he decided to go over and see the situation.

Surrounded by the crowd was a small high platform, with several desks on the platform, complete with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and did not look like they were selling things. Several cultivators in white robes stood on the stage, and the white-clothed scholars in the head were majestic, which was the Liu Wenzhong who appeared in the air during the Immortal Arts Examination.

At this time, Yang Xiu found that the future senior brother was also a handsome man: he was fluttering in white, straight figure, and his heroic facial features exuded a scholarly atmosphere, and had a unique temperament of heroic posture.

Yang Xiu's old acquaintance Yang Shaotian was also standing on the stage, smiling and talking to a senior brother from Tianshu Pavilion. He looked in a very good mood.

Yang Xiu was puzzled, so he asked a yellow-faced middle-aged man beside him politely: "Fellow Taoist, I wonder what happened here?"

"Don't make a noise, I'm busy..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently, but he glanced at Yang Xiu's wooden sign hanging on his waist, and his heart skipped a beat. When he saw Yang Xiu's young face, he immediately smiled, "Ah, he is a fellow Taoist from Tianshu Pavilion, haha~ You are the outer disciple of this year. This is a famous stall in your sect. I'll tell you..."

It turns out that at every annual trade fair, the disciples of Tianshu Pavilion will set up this shop, not selling elixirs or weapons, but ask visitors to write lyrics and poems on the spot.

Those with excellent literary talent have the opportunity to be invited to the Tianshu Pavilion and receive considerable rewards. It may be the top-grade Fire Spirit Pill, or the weapons and armor used by immortal cultivators in the body tempering stage.

The reason why so many immortal cultivators come here is that in addition to the reward mentioned above is mostly because of an immortal cultivator named Lin Shuangchen of the Tianshu Pavilion.

This senior sister Lin has achieved the middle stage of physical tempering at the age of ten, and has reached the middle stage of physical tempering at the age of thirteen. It is said that her cultivation has long reached the late stage of physical tempering, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that she has entered the Qihai period.
