I have all kinds of magical powers

After a while, the old man was very busy.

When he came to the market, he went straight to the book pavilion in the market.

After a long walk, Lin Chen stopped at a place and looked up. It was a single-story attic, about two feet high, with a sign of "Qi Shu Zhai" hanging on it.

From time to time, some monks came in and out, and went in in groups of three or two.

He walked in and looked around. It was only a dozen feet in size, not very big, but the overall style was antique and looked very stylish.

There were seven or eight rows of black wooden bookshelves on both sides. There were even some signs of decay on the corners of the bookshelves, which looked a bit old.

It was a bit old, but it was very neatly arranged. It was obvious that its owner often took care of it.

On the bookshelf were some jade slips, jade books, animal skin books and the like of various sizes.

After taking a glance, Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

He had already searched several study rooms in the market. If he still couldn't find the reason for his failure to break through, he could only change to another market and continue searching.

After two failed breakthroughs, his blood and qi were slightly depleted, and his face looked a little pale, sickly pale.

Seeing a foundation-building cultivator coming in, the shopkeeper also looked over and came to greet him.

The shopkeeper of Qishuzhai was a cultivator who looked like a fifty-year-old man with a thick beard, but a small part of it had turned silver-white.

He wore a spotless dark blue Confucian shirt, revealing a refined temperament from inside to outside.

If it weren't for the spiritual pressure of the foundation-building period emanating from his body, he would be more like a secular scholar who had just retired from the court.

The old man in green first glanced at Zhang Chen, and when he saw his pale face, his eyes flickered, and he bowed and asked kindly.

"I am Li Yuan, the shopkeeper of Qishuzhai. What jade slips are you looking for?"

Lin Chen asked casually.

"I want to find some jade slips about breaking through the bottleneck~"

The old man in green turned his eyes and asked back.

"Oh? Did you fail to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building?"

Lin Chen did not care about what the other party said. After all, his face was pale, which was obviously a slight loss of blood and qi, and he was at the peak of the sixth level of foundation building, so there was nothing to hide.

"Shopkeeper Li has a good eye. That's right. I wonder if there are such jade slips in your store?"

The old man in green said decisively.

"No, not to mention the Qishuzhai, there is no such jade slip in the entire market. All the markets in Black Mountain Country will not have such jade slips."

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned and asked in confusion.

"What does Manager Li mean? Why don't all the markets have such things?"

The old man in green smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, pointed to the table and chairs beside him, and said in a calm voice.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Lin, I will explain it to you. Please sit down~"

Lin Chen sat down with a suspicious face, and the old man in green also sat down, and poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you a casual cultivator? Or a cultivator from a small immortal cultivation family."

Lin Chen nodded in response. In his current situation, he was undoubtedly a casual cultivator, and there was nothing to say.

"In addition to elixir resources and cave dwellings, there is another extremely important thing for cultivators to advance their cultivation."

"What is it?"

"Cultivation insights, breakthrough experiences..."

"There are many disciples in the immortal sects, and fellow disciples can support and communicate with each other. Immortal families also have family elders to answer questions and even pave the way for cultivation, which can save a lot of cultivation time."

"There is mutual suspicion among us casual cultivators. For spiritual resources, there are even many mutual attacks and murders."

"There is an unwritten rule between the immortal sects and the immortal families, that is, jade slips about realms and bottlenecks are not allowed to circulate in the market."

"It is to prevent a large number of casual cultivators from occupying more voices. It is normal that Fellow Daoist Lin cannot find it."

Lin Chen listened, his face became solemn, his brows frowned, and asked back.

"Then there are no casual cultivators who can break through the realm?"

The old man in green said with a chuckle.

"Of course there is, but after the cultivation, why should it be shared for free? The immortal way values ​​privacy, and basically only close people can get a little guidance."

"Even after the independent cultivators have formed the elixir, they will also establish a new cultivation family, and naturally they will no longer belong to independent cultivators."

After listening, Lin Chen fell silent for a while. It is indeed true.

The Immortal Sect

Although they may have some disputes, at least they are still fellow disciples on the surface, and they have to consider some sect rules.

Immortal cultivation families are bound by blood, and their cohesion is even stronger than that of sects.

It is difficult for independent cultivators. Half of them are from small immortal cultivation families whose inheritance is about to be cut off, and some are people who got some immortal cultivation techniques by chance and entered the immortal cultivation world by themselves.

There are also disciples of sects like him who later betrayed the sect.

There are many reasons for becoming independent cultivators, which leads to a mess.

They can only rely on hunting monsters and looking for spiritual objects, which is dangerous and does not get many spiritual stones.

After all, in the end, they still have to sell the spiritual objects to the market built by the immortal cultivation family or the sect, and the bulk of the money is still earned by them.

Not all independent cultivators can have the combat power of Lin Chen. After all, the magical power of Tiangang Disha alone can benefit him endlessly.

Suddenly, his eyes moved. Why would the person in front of him take the initiative to tell him so much when he just met him by chance?

Lin Chen's face froze, and he paused. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he asked.

"From what Shopkeeper Li said, is there a way to get some experience about breaking through the realm?"

The old man in green clothes wiped his beard and said lightly.

"This... Of course there is, but you need Fellow Daoist Lin to come to the wing room to discuss."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and agreed, and followed the other party to the wing room in the inner house.

While walking, he rolled his tongue and held the Lidi Yanguang Flag in his mouth. If the other party had any means of plotting, he would kill him immediately.

In two steps, the two walked into a wing room of only four or five feet in size. There was a set of tables and chairs inside, plus some antique ornaments, which was very consistent with the style outside.

The old man in green clothes extended his hand to invite Lin Chen to sit down, and then he sat down and spoke slowly.

"Li has met many like-minded Taoist friends in this study, and based on this, he has established a group for us casual cultivators to help each other."

"It's called the Fish Dragon Society, and we can also exchange cultivation experiences on weekdays."

"Oh? Daoist Li wants Lin to join in, but what does this have to do with breaking through the bottleneck?"
