In the primordial chaos, a powerful formation could make anyone cautious.
Formations often have many restrictions.
For example, they require preparation beforehand and cannot be set up in a short time. They can also be like a prison, limiting freedom of movement. Some formations also require powerful treasures, many hands, and so on.
But the more troublesome the formation, the more terrifying it is!
If a formation is so troublesome to set up, but it cannot transcend its level or fight against many with few, then what’s the point of setting it up?
Therefore, top-tier formations almost all have the ability to transcend their level and fight!
The Primordial Covering Sea Formation that Yu Lei had comprehended this time was no exception.
As a formation comprehended through the law of water, its setup naturally cannot do without water.
To be precise, the more water, the better!
Rivers, lakes, and seas all have different effects.
If Yu Lei set up this formation at sea, its power would be enough to kill all enemies who invaded below the Golden Immortal realm!
Even a Golden Immortal entering the formation’s range could be exhausted to death by its endless power!
Keep in mind, Yu Lei was only a True Immortal.
The terror of a top-tier formation is evident.
Of course, if it was not at sea, but in rivers, lakes, or ponds, the power of this formation would be significantly reduced.
In a waterless environment, this formation would have no need to be set up, as even if it could be set up, it would not be able to exert much power.
However, if Yu Lei could find a Water-attribute Primordial Treasure in the future, providing an endless supply of Water-attribute power, then even on dry land, this Primordial Covering Sea Formation would still have considerable power.
Top-tier formations are often like this, the greater the power, the greater the restrictions.
But Yu Lei was still very excited, at least from now on, he had a powerful tool at sea!
Then, Yu Lei consolidated his gains, stored the Jiao’s corpse, and used his chaotic power to confuse the atmosphere before leaving calmly.
…
Second Immortal Ridge, the largest gathering place for scattered cultivators in the primordial chaos.
Most scattered cultivators in the primordial chaos are human race. After the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with the rise of the human race, there were more and more human race cultivators.
As time passed, they gathered in the Second Immortal Ridge, forming many markets.
Inside the market, there are talismans, pills, formation discs, and so on, making it truly lively.
After killing the Jiao King, Yu Lei strolled around and came to the Second Immortal Ridge.
Looking at the lively market in front of him, Yu Lei couldn’t help but marvel.
He didn’t expect that the primordial chaos now had such a large market for immortals.
Yu Lei had been traveling the primordial chaos for some time now and had accumulated some wealth. Naturally, he became curious when he saw a real immortal market.
He would go in and take a look. With his luck, maybe he could find a bargain!
Yu Lei immediately walked into the market, activated his Void Divine Eye, and looked around.
With his Void Divine Eye and his Great Fortune Technique, it was hard to miss a treasure.
At this moment, a fierce argument suddenly reached Yu Lei’s ears.
“You liar, you sold me water-cloud wood that was struck by lightning as wind-thunder wood? Refund my money!”
“You are slandering me! I, Xiao Sheng, never sell fake goods! I never said it was wind-thunder wood, it was you who thought it was!”
“You! If it’s not wind-thunder wood, why did you sell it at such a high price?”
“Hey, I can sell it at any price I want, what’s it to you? Once the goods are sold, no refunds… Hey hey, just talk, don’t touch me!”
…
Xiao Sheng?
Hearing the argument, Yu Lei was moved and looked towards a stall not far away.
He saw two True Immortal-level scattered cultivators arguing at the stall, seemingly about to fight.
Yu Lei’s gaze quickly swept over the stall and found that it mainly displayed ordinary post-heaven objects of little value.
Until a nondescript copper coin caught Yu Lei’s eye.
The coin was rusty and had no trace of treasure aura.
But in Yu Lei’s Void Divine Eye, this copper coin emitted a dazzling light!
Yu Lei’s breath hitched.
Then he remembered the True Immortal cultivator’s self-introduction as Xiao Sheng. So, this mysterious copper coin was the legendary Falling Treasure Coin!
At this moment, Xiao Sheng obviously had not yet discovered the Falling Treasure Coin’s special nature.
Since this was the case, Yu Lei would not be polite.
Yu Lei smiled slightly and walked over.
“Two Daoists, hold on to your arguing, let me take a look at this water-cloud wood!”
Xiao Sheng and the arguing cultivator both looked at Yu Lei with puzzled expressions.
“What does the Daoist have to say?” asked the arguing cultivator.
Yu Lei smiled, “Daoist, you may not know, my cultivation technique is special and I’ve been looking for water-cloud wood that was struck by lightning. This piece in your hands seems to fit the bill perfectly!”
The two in front of him were stunned.
Yu Lei took the water-cloud wood and pretended to examine it carefully, sighing, “It really is what I’ve been looking for! Unbelievable, unbelievable! But I wonder if the Daoist would be willing to part with it?”
“I heard your argument just now. I’m willing to buy this water-cloud wood at the price of wind-thunder wood, what do you say?”
Water-cloud wood is actually a relatively common post-heaven spiritual wood, and its price is ridiculously low. Wind-thunder wood, on the other hand, is a rare variant of post-heaven spiritual wood, extremely precious, and its price is sky-high.
No wonder the cheated cultivator was so angry.
Now, hearing that someone was willing to take over at the original price, the cultivator was overjoyed and immediately agreed without hesitation.
The two exchanged the goods. Yu Lei bought the water-cloud wood at the previous price.
The cultivator left happily. Xiao Sheng, who had been silent all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Yu Lei, “I am Xiao Sheng from Wu Yi Mountain. Thank you, Daoist, for your help just now!”
Yu Lei smiled, “Daoist Xiao Sheng, you don’t have to be so polite. This water-cloud wood indeed has some use for me.”
Xiao Sheng felt even more fondness for Yu Lei in his heart. Nowadays, there were few people who were willing to be a sucker!
“Daoist, you truly have an eye for treasures! I, Xiao Sheng, like making friends like you! May I ask your name, Daoist?”
Yu Lei smiled, “I am Yu Lei, a mere scattered cultivator.”
Xiao Sheng nodded, “Everyone here is a scattered cultivator, so we are all the same. Daoist Yu Lei, take a look, I have other things you might need! They are definitely high-quality and low-priced!”
Yu Lei smiled and agreed, pretending to look around.
Xiao Sheng enthusiastically recommended this and that to Yu Lei, most of them were common spiritual roots and materials in the primordial chaos, but he exaggerated their virtues.
Yu Lei didn’t bother to expose him and casually chose two items.
It was all the same to him.
Xiao Sheng had made a sale and was even more pleased with Yu Lei.
At this time, Yu Lei finally picked up the inconspicuous copper coin on the stall casually.
“Huh? Isn’t this a human race copper coin? Why did you put it on display?”
Xiao Sheng was in a good mood and spoke the truth, “Haha, I found it by chance. I thought there was something special about it, but it turned out to be just a broken coin. If you’re interested, Daoist, take it to play with!”
Yu Lei smiled slightly and held the coin in his palm.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll be bold enough to accept your generosity.”
