Evergreen Forest Town

Yi Fan was convinced that he would not be at a disadvantage after achieving peak mastery of both techniques because he could at least run for his life with The Wind Chaser technique, and his speed was similar to that of the early stages of foundation establishment.

He may not be able to keep up with the foundation establishment stage for a considerable amount of time, but he can run, employ the Ghost Body concealment technique, and then walk away unnoticed.

He got up from the meditation mat and went outside his cave to look for the old man Li. The old man Li was in charge of the labour disciples who were assigned to the cemetery, therefore he needed his permission to go to the town.

Eventually, he arrived at the cemetery's sole residence.

"Disciple wishes to meet with supervisor Li."

"What?"

"Supervisor Li, I want to leave the cemetery for a night."

"You recently joined the cemetery and are already planning your leave. I dislike those who don't finish their tasks."

"Supervisor Li, I've already finished the duty for today, and I'll return before tomorrow's work shift. I won't give you any reason for complaint."

"hmm... Okay, but keep in mind that I will remove you from the cemetery labour disciples if you didn't arrive before tomorrow's work shift."

"Thank you, supervisor Li."

Yi Fan then left the cemetery and headed for the town of the Evergreen Forest. He left from the backside across a little valley because the cemetery was on the backside of the main sect.

Yi Fan then walked away from the cemetery and went in the direction of Evergreen Forest town. The cemetery was on the backside of the main sect, so he left from there by crossing a little valley.

The Heavenly Devi sect and Evergreen Forest were separated by Evergreen Forest town.

The town's name derives from the Evergreen Forest, which remained evergreen due to the presence of spirit veins beneath the forest. The Heavenly Devil Sect was situated on one of their branches of spirit veins.

Due to the resources in the forest, including magical creatures, spirit mines, and spirit herbs, there were multiple different sects present in the vicinity of the Evergreen Forest. Even the empire placed great importance on the town.

Yi Fan did not waste time while travelling; instead, he became familiar with The Wind Chaser technique and unknowingly arrived at the town.

The village was governed by the Pheonix Empire, hence there was no entrance fee. The sale of resources by cultivators and other businesses, including auction houses were subject to taxes.

The Pheonix Empire appointed the town's Lord. All of that didn't pique Yi Fan's interest. The town was still bustling even though it was already evening. Due to the abundance of resources in the forest, there were cultivators from all the sects, dressed differently, as well as many more rogue cultivators.

He first took a stroll to locate the alchemist shops that offered premium herbs and pills. Nearly every sect operated its own store where it sold pills, weapons, and other cultivation goods. But because it might compromise his identity, he didn't want to buy from these sect stores.

He then went to the Divine Merchant Organization, which was founded by rogue cultivators, who later became merchants. Although it may have been founded by rogue cultivators, it has grown to become one of the largest merchant organisations, with many strong rogue cultivators as its core members.

Even powerful sects like the Heavenly Devil sect would be reluctant to get involved with the Divine Merchant Organization.

When Yi Fan entered the store, he was shocked to realise that there were many other cultivators inside, much like him. When he approached a counter, a lovely girl who was almost his age welcomed him.

"Welcome, how may I be of service?"

"I need a Nine Soothing tablet,"

"Sir, we have a Nine Soothing pill in our shop. however because it's the last one, it'll cost a little more.

"How much?"

"Sir, that will be 3,000 spirit stones."

"what! Wasn't the price 2,000 spirit stones?"

"Sir, the cost was 2,000 spirit stones, but as I already mentioned, it's the last one because you already know that only a handful are refined each year, and no new nine Soothing pills will be produced until next year. The main component of the pill is soothing flowers, which only blossom in the spring."

"Ok, here are the 3,000 spirit stones."

"Thank you, sir, here is the pill."

After he got the pill Yi Fan left the store.
