lashed open by a long sword, blood gushing like a spring. He raised his hand to cover his neck, but it was of little use.As the senior brother's roar subsided, Lu Ye had already kicked the young maste...Within the Lingxi battlefield, spiritual energy was thick in the air, making the scenery breathtakingly beautiful. A lone figure, accompanied by his spirit and a tiger, traversed the paths, taking in the sights along the way. In terms of experience with the various locations on the battlefield, few cultivators of the same level could rival Lu Ye's vast knowledge.

He left Qingyun Mountain after leaving the second level of Lingxi, embarking on his journey back to Bixue Sect. He traveled until he reached the fifth level of Lingxi, which took him over five months.

This time, starting from the Qitian Sect's territory, another long journey began.

The more you walk, the more you see, and the more knowledgeable you become.

In a bustling marketplace, the dust-covered Lu Ye and Yiyi arrived together.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Unlike the bustling market outside the inner circle, this place is even more vibrant. After all, those who come and go are no longer just small cultivators of the three or four realms. Those qualified to roam within the inner circle are at least at the sixth realm level.

And the name of this marketplace is also quite simple, Tianji Fang, because it was primarily formed by the Tianji Merchant Alliance converging here.

Such marketplaces are ubiquitous in both the inner circle and core circle.

Although cultivators can spend their merits to purchase rare items from the Heavenly Secrets Treasury, they wouldn't use valuable merits for everyday life or cultivation as merits are hard-earned.

Where there's trade, markets will inevitably emerge.

Lu Ye had been to several markets in the outer circle, but this was his first time in the inner circle's markets. As he walked around, he found that it was very different from the markets in the outer circle.

At the very least, the buildings here are more orderly, and the streets cleaner. Many wandering cultivators or disciples from sects come and go here.

As for the inner circle and core circle, there are also some casual cultivators. They may have already gotten used to this lifestyle, or they might be pursuing something personal, or perhaps other reasons altogether. These casual cultivators haven't joined any sects.

Moreover, for a sect like ours, these common cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refinement are no longer suitable for recruitment. After all, who knows if their origins are truly clean What if we inadvertently take in a spy from a rival sect That would be disastrous.

Besides, it's hard to guarantee their loyalty.

Outside the inner circle, those cultivators at the 3rd and 4th realms still have a chance to join the sect. The higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to join the sect.

It's not just the Lingxi Realm that has casual cultivators. There are also casual cultivators from the Yunhe Realm, Zhenhu Realm, and even the Shenhai Realm.

Most wandering cultivators choose to attach themselves to a sect's駐地 for cultivation because the spiritual energy there is rich. However, a small part of the wandering cultivators choose not to affiliate with any sect because besides enjoying the spiritual energy in the resident area, there are no other practical benefits to being under someone else's command, and they even have to obey others' orders.

These scattered cultivators mostly lived around the Heavenly Machine Workshop, earning their cultivation resources.

I have to say, these days as a wandering cultivator are actually quite hard, but they're also very free.

This thing was something he spent a lot of money on originally, it's been about a year now, there must be many changes on the map.

>Although many cultivators might reach the ninth level from the first, they may not be able to accumulate enough merit for a Heavenly-level technique because they can't afford it. As a result, there are quite a few cultivators whose cultivation level is stuck at that of an ordinary ninth-level cultivator.ur final attack, she'll only have death left.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Her mind throbbed like a thousand needles, blood streaming from her seven orifices, black...
