The West Continent was considered a desolate land in this world. There was a lack of Spiritual Qi. It was the sphere of influence of the Iron Sword Sect, Heavenly Star Sect, and Fairy Spirit Valley.

Inside the library, Cheng Siqi was replenishing the knowledge that he desperately needed, as if he was in the middle of a long drought.

Under the astonished gaze of the shopkeeper and many others, Cheng Siqi stayed in the library for a full five days. Every day, the moment the storekeeper opened the door, he would be the first to enter, only coming out after closing the door. In the span of five days, Cheng Siqi had read almost all of the books in the shop. Under the astonished gazes of the others, he appeared calm and self-sufficient.

"The road is long and endless, I will look up and down for you!" Walking out of the library five days later, Cheng Siqi sighed and muttered to himself.

A year later, on the easternmost part of the Western Continent, on a tall mountain near the edge of the Stellar Sea, looking at the endless sea shrouded in clouds, Cheng Siqi muttered to himself, "That should be the Western Xuan Region right!? I wonder how Father and Li Yuan are going to be. Grandfather and Grandfather Nan are still fine, right?! "

Cheng Siqi knew that he still couldn't cross this boundless sea. From the information he had, this sea area had countless aquatic beasts. Moreover, there would also be monstrous sea winds from time to time. The situation was extremely terrible. If one wanted to cross this sea, one must take the big ferry, otherwise, one will be buried in the sea. The big ferry was in the hands of Iron Sword Sect and the other three forces, and this big ferry was not an ordinary fishing boat. It was said that it had reached the level of a spirit treasure, and only this type of ferry could withstand the attacks of the Stellar less Sea's wind waves and sea beasts. It was said that the price to get on this type of ship was astonishing, and one had to get a quota.

After determining the direction, Cheng Siqi rushed towards Xi Yang City.

Xi Yang City, a large city near the Stellar Sea on the Western Yuan Continent. On the Western Yuan Continent, all the people of the Western Xuan Region were gathered at the place where the ferry was sent to the Western Xuan Region.

As he approached Xi Yang City, Cheng Siqi was dumbfounded. This city was so big that it exceeded the knowledge of both his lives. Upon entering the city, he saw a bustling crowd and countless shops.

As usual, he first entered the pharmacy and sold all of the herbs for 20 gold coins. Cheng Siqi was already used to it since the herbs were getting cheaper and cheaper along the way.

After arriving at a secluded corner, a moment later, Cheng Siqi, dressed in a beggar outfit, squeezed into the crowd.

Relying on his age and cleverness, Cheng Siqi soon got mixed up with the two beggars.

The two of them, one in his sixties and the other in his twenties, were not natives, but they had already been in Xiyang City for a long time, especially the old beggar Xu Gengfa, who had stayed there for nearly thirty years. The martial marshal, the martial king, had once dreamed of going to the Western Xuan Region, but now that they were here, they knew how difficult it was to go there.

At the same time, he also got a general idea of the problems he was most concerned about. The Great ferryboat would only be dispatched once every twenty years, and it would take at least three years to cross the Stellar Sea to the Da Xi Xuan Region. Each time, there would only be five hundred placings, and there would only be less than twenty placings for the outside world.

There was only one way to obtain these 20 slots: submit an application to the West Sun City or the West Yuan City Lord's Mansion. Only after the application is approved can the participants participate in the auction.

However, because of the number of experts in the Western Xuan Region, very few people would participate in the auction. Even if there were, they were experts among rogue cultivators.

"Seems like I can only cultivate with my feet on the ground!" Cheng Siqi thought to himself.

Perhaps it was because during this year, Cheng Siqi had been busy running away and training less. Her cultivation was only at the level of Martial General Level 8, which was already very shocking for a teenager who was no older than fourteen. However, Cheng Siqi herself was clearly very unsatisfied.

Thinking of the problem of cultivation, Cheng Siqi hesitated. He didn't know what to choose.

Joining a local sect would allow him to obtain some cultivation resources. This was definitely something normal people would choose, but Cheng Siqi was a little worried. The local sects were the outer forces of several big forces like Iron Sword Sect.

After hesitating for a few days, Cheng Siqi still felt that, just to be safe, he should cultivate by himself.

After greeting the old beggar, Cheng Siqi left.

In the past half month, Cheng Siqi had already roughly checked out the situation in Xi Yang City. He found a quiet place and put on a wide gray robe and a large felt hat that he had prepared beforehand.

A short while later, at the entrance of a shop called the "Amazing News Pavilion", a short and thin old man wearing a large felt hat walked in.

"Are you here to buy books?"

Inside the shop, a waiter wearing a formal suit came up and asked.

"Let's see if there's anything suitable!" The old man's hoarse voice sounded.

"We offer 50 gold coins to read for one day, feel free to do so!" The waiter said respectfully.

If the waiter could see the face of the short elder under his felt hat, he would definitely be shocked. This was no other than the real Cheng Siqi, a teenager who was not even 14 years old.

This store was not big. It was about 30 square meters. Cheng Siqi walked in front of a shelf marked with a local gossip and started flipping through the books on the shelf.

As the sky darkened, Cheng Siqi walked out of the Pavilion of Wonders with a questioning look on his face.

"Spirit stones?"

In Xi Yang City, many transactions could only be conducted with Spirit Stones. What were Spirit Stones? There was no mention of them in the report, but it seemed that one could not rely entirely on books. One had to be practical with them. Thinking of doing so, Cheng Siqi walked straight toward a brightly lit street.

This street called the market street was full of trading manuals, weapons, and pills. Of course, there weren't any high level pills here, only some low level ones such as the Fast Recovery Pill, which could speed up the healing process.

Cheng Siqi's goal wasn't to see the pills, but to walk straight into the largest trading shop on this street. From the old beggar, he learned that there was practically everything in this trading shop. As long as you wanted to buy something, you could buy it here.

He was here to see if it was possible to see spirit stones. According to the information in the book, the energy in the spirit stones could be directly absorbed to speed up cultivation, this was what Cheng Siqi wanted. Right now, raising his cultivation level as soon as possible was the most important thing.

As he walked into the pavilion called the Profound Heaven Trading Company, a middle-aged man in a blue robe welcomed him.

"Senior, what do you need?!" The blue-robed middle-aged man asked with a puzzled expression.

Only now did Cheng Siqi realize that this trading firm was very large and there were many people inside. However, judging from the faintly discernible auras these people gave off, their cultivation bases should be at least Martial King.

"Oh, I'm just taking a casual look. Let's talk about it when there's a suitable one!" Cheng Siqi cupped his fists and said to the middle-aged man with an aged voice.

"You can take a look around, but the transaction here only costs Spirit Stones!" The middle-aged man bowed to Cheng Siqi before turning around to leave.

After more than a year, Cheng Siqi had become very skilled in the use of soul consciousness. Although the range was very small, this was still his greatest asset because so far, other than discovering that the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect had a soul consciousness, he hadn't discovered anyone else who had a soul consciousness.

He found it strange that he already had a spiritual sense, but he did not investigate it too deeply. After all, this was a good thing, and he did not discover anything wrong with his body to make it convenient for him to act.

Looking at the items on the counter, he was obviously very surprised. This place really didn't accept gold coins, just a large steel knife. Although it was quite expensive outside, one could buy it with gold coins. However, two Spirit Stones were required here.

When he arrived at the pill area, a pill inside a transparent jade box attracted Cheng Siqi's attention.

"Isn't this the pill stored in the ring? Gray, thumb-sized, with three faint white lines on it!" Cheng Siqi was very surprised.

Noticing Cheng Siqi's gaze, a young man in a blue robe walked over.

"Oh, it's so expensive. I really can't afford it. Can this little brother introduce the effects of this pill?" Cheng Siqi said in an old, hoarse voice.

In fact, Cheng Siqi's heart was already bursting with joy. It was truly like looking for a broken iron shoe without any effort at all. It turned out that elder Dong had left him a lot of Pei-Yuan pills. He could only blame himself for not recognizing Mt. Tai.

"This is a high level pellet. It can increase the power of those with a cultivation level of Martial King or higher!" The young man said with a smile.

At the same time, Cheng Siqi suddenly discovered that there was a burly man in black clothing standing five to six meters away from him. He held a cloth bag in his hand, and a weak energy fluctuation appeared.

Cheng Siqi's expression immediately changed slightly as she inwardly exclaimed, "Isn't that the energy crystal inside the ring?" Could this be a spirit stone? "
