Time flies, and with his unremitting and hard training, Li Mingyang's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. However, as his cultivation becomes more and more profound, he also realizes more and more that this long road of cultivation is like the vast sea of ​​stars, and there is no end at all. If he wants to go further, it is obviously not enough to rely on his own unremitting efforts alone, and he must also acquire more knowledge and valuable resources.

At this time, a respected elder in the family was going to the nearby Yunmeng City to handle affairs. Hearing that Li Mingyang had been practicing diligently and making remarkable progress recently, the elder was inspired to invite Li Mingyang to go with him. On the one hand, he could gain more knowledge, and on the other hand, he could see if he could find some rare treasures that would help him practice.

Speaking of Yunmeng City, it is really famous! It is an extremely prosperous and bustling city, with all kinds of shops scattered throughout the streets and alleys of the city, selling a wide variety of goods. This is not only a place of wealth that merchants flock to, but also a place where many monks dream of finding treasures.

With a certain expectation for the unknown journey, Li Mingyang gladly accepted the invitation and invited several like-minded friends to join him, and together they started this exciting journey to Yunmeng City. Along the way, they laughed and looked forward to the wonderful experience that was about to come.

When they finally arrived at the famous Yunmeng City, it was as if they had instantly entered a completely different world. As soon as they entered the city, a unique and warm atmosphere rushed over them, tightly enveloping them.

On both sides of the wide street, colorful and various stalls are winding like a long dragon, with no end in sight; and the shops of all sizes are scattered in between, complementing each other. The goods here are dazzling and dazzling. There are stalls filled with daily necessities such as pots and pans, and medicine shops displaying various rare and precious medicinal materials; there are all kinds of weapons and equipment that are cold and sharp, and there are ancient secret books that emit mysterious light and record advanced cultivation methods.

Li Mingyang led his companions to walk slowly among the bustling crowd, moving flexibly like swimming fish. They looked around curiously, and from time to time stopped in front of a stall that interested them, carefully examining the novel items. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and people's cheerful laughter came to their ears one after another, all of which intertwined to form a symphony full of vitality and passion, making everyone in it involuntarily intoxicated and feeling the strong excitement and vigorous vitality.

"I heard that this store has very precious elixirs for sale. Let's go take a look?" Li Mingyang's friend suggested with bright eyes and excited face. He looked so impatient that it seemed as if he had already seen those magical elixirs in front of him.

Li Mingyang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, there's nothing else to do anyway, let's go take a look." After that, the group walked towards the legendary store with great interest.

Soon, they arrived in front of a shop called "Lingyaozhai". The shop didn't look big, but its antique architectural style and exquisite decoration revealed an extraordinary atmosphere. Especially the plaque hanging high in front of the door, with the eight characters "magic medicine, bring back to life" written in a flamboyant style, shining with golden light under the sunlight, which was particularly eye-catching.

Everyone walked into the store with curiosity and expectation, and saw a middle-aged man in a green robe standing behind the counter. He had a kind face and a faint smile on his lips, and was warmly welcoming their arrival.

"Welcome all distinguished guests! Our shop specializes in various magical elixirs, whether it's the rare elixir that can help practitioners break through their own practice bottlenecks and greatly improve their personal cultivation realm, or the wonderful elixir that can easily cure all kinds of strange and difficult diseases and stubborn injuries and illnesses, as long as you have clear needs in your hearts, you will definitely be able to find the best answers here that will satisfy you." The middle-aged man smiled, his tone was gentle and mellow, like a soft spring breeze blowing across the face, which made people feel happy when they heard it.

Li Mingyang looked around curiously and soon noticed that there were many small and exquisite bottles filled with different precious medicinal materials neatly placed on the shelves. These bottles were either transparent or colorful, emitting waves of elegant medicinal fragrance that penetrated into people's noses, as if they had an indescribable magic.

Li Mingyang involuntarily stepped forward, approached the shelf and began to carefully examine several items. After careful selection, his eyes finally fixed on a bottle of mysterious medicine called "Ningyuan Pill". His eyes lit up and he muttered to himself: "Hmm... This bottle of Ningyuan Pill looks quite extraordinary. I believe it will definitely play a great role in improving my current cultivation." Then, he turned his head and spoke excitedly to his companions who came with him.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been observing silently saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce enthusiastically: "Oh, this customer really has a discerning eye! The bottle of Ningyuan Pill you are interested in is the well-deserved star product of our store. It has extraordinary effects, which can effectively help cultivators consolidate their own foundation, and at the same time can significantly increase the body's vitality reserves. So, if a young and talented person like you takes this Ningyuan Pill, you will definitely reach a higher level on the road of cultivation, and your future is limitless!"

After a fierce verbal battle and bargaining, Li Mingyang finally succeeded in obtaining the bottle of the mouth-watering Ningyuan Pill at a relatively reasonable price that satisfied both parties with his excellent eloquence and keen insight.

Then, the two of them continued to shuttle through the streets and alleys of Yunmeng City with great interest, carefully visiting the dazzling shops one by one. In this process, they were like treasure hunters, with sharp and focused eyes, not missing any clues that might help improve their own cultivation. Hard work pays off, and after careful selection, they each reaped a lot of rewards - not only did they select some rare materials necessary for cultivation, but they also found several coveted secret books containing advanced cultivation methods. Moreover, for each item they bought, they repeatedly weighed it, making sure that it could really bring substantial benefits to their future cultivation path.

Just as the two were about to return home with their spoils full of joy and leave the bustling Yunmeng City, Li Mingyang was suddenly attracted by a noisy discussion not far away. Listening carefully, it turned out that several hurried businessmen were talking about a piece of explosive news that had just spread: it turned out that recently, someone accidentally discovered a mysterious cave hidden in the mountains and forests! According to rumors, the cave is dark and deep, with winding paths, as if it hides endless secrets; more importantly, it is said that there are countless rare treasures hidden in it, which are priceless!

This shocking news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, which instantly stirred up thousands of waves, and also made Li Mingyang's already curious heart even more restless. After a brief thought, he secretly made up his mind that when he returned to his family, he must find the respected elders in the family as soon as possible to discuss it and see if it is worth organizing people to go and explore the huge treasure hidden behind the mysterious cave...

This trip to Yunmeng City not only allowed Li Mingyang to obtain a lot of valuable resources, but more importantly, he also made many new friends and gained more knowledge. This experience became a beautiful memory on his path of cultivation, and also laid the groundwork for possible adventures in the future.

On the way back, Li Mingyang's heart was full of longing for the future. He knew that the path of cultivation was long and full of challenges, but as long as there was a dream, nothing was impossible to achieve. And this simple shopping trip might be the key to open the next door.

Li Mingyang dragged his slightly tired body and slowly walked into the house, but he did not immediately rush to the comfortable bed to seek rest like ordinary people. Instead, his heart filled with excitement drove him straight to the study, and he couldn't wait to start sorting out the rich spoils of this trip.

After entering the study, Li Mingyang lit the oil lamp on the desk with ease, and the dim light instantly filled the entire room. He first took out the tightly wrapped objects one by one from his bag, and then carefully placed them one by one on the old but neat wooden table as if they were rare treasures.

These items are of various kinds, including stones of strange shapes, colorful feathers, herbs with mysterious fragrance, and some strange gadgets. Li Mingyang examined each item with full concentration, gently stroking its surface with his fingers, feeling its unique texture and grain, and carefully checking for damage or flaws, not missing any subtle details that might be missed.

At this moment, Li Mingyang's eyes fell on an inconspicuous shell. This shell looked no different from the usual ones, but when his fingertips accidentally touched it, an indescribable feeling came to his heart - as if a strange energy wave was passing through his fingertips. This sudden energy startled Li Mingyang, and he subconsciously retracted his hand, staring at the originally ordinary shell with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

The shell lay there quietly, its surface showing a nearly perfect smooth texture, but its slightly dull color made it inconspicuous among the many spoils. However, when Li Mingyang saw it for the first time, an indescribable intuition surged from deep in his heart - this was definitely not an ordinary shell!

Li Mingyang carefully stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the shell, feeling the delicate and slightly cool touch. Then, he closed his eyes, mobilized the powerful internal force in his body, and slowly injected it into the shell through his fingertips. At first, everything was as calm as water, and nothing unusual happened. However, as the internal force continued to flow into the shell, suddenly, as if a mysterious power was awakened, the whole shell began to tremble slightly.

Then, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the inside of the shell. The light was so dazzling that Li Mingyang had to squint his eyes to avoid being stabbed by it. At the same time, an illusory light and shadow shot out from the shell like a horse that had broken free from its reins, and hovered steadily in the air. The light and shadow flashed with strange colors, sometimes as hot and bright red as a flame, and sometimes as deep blue as the sea water, changing unpredictably and dazzling.

It was a piece of writing that exuded an old and simple atmosphere, as if it came from ancient times. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, like an ancient relic that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, and it faintly revealed a mysterious atmosphere.

Li Mingyang stared at the words in front of him with wide eyes, and a surge of surprise and curiosity surged in his heart. As he looked deeper, he was shocked to find that this was actually a fragment of a page of magic skills! And this skill had a creepy name - "The Netherworld Blood Shadow Technique".

This page of exercises described in detail an extremely evil and cruel way of cultivation: by sucking the essence and blood of others, one can quickly increase one's own strength. The gloomy and terrifying atmosphere revealed between the lines made Li Mingyang feel a chill down his spine. This method, which was completely contrary to the righteous cultivation concept he had always adhered to, made him feel disgusted and resentful.

However, when seeing the tempting scene of being able to instantly gain powerful strength as described in the technique, Li Mingyang's heart inevitably wavered for a short time. After all, for any cultivator, rapidly improving their strength is undoubtedly an irresistible attraction.
