164: Entering Nantianmen
Li Haotian held Mu Mu in his arms and followed Qingfeng Daoren as they flew towards the direction of the South Heaven Gate.
When he put Xiaotian into the Yupei Cave Heaven, the two of them were clearly stunned for a moment, feeling a bit surprised that Li Haotian actually had a portable cave heaven.
Although they didn't know how large this portable cave heaven was, portable cave heavens were things that were hard to come by, and anyone who possessed such a thing was bound to have an extraordinary identity.
Li Haotian didn't mind; in this world, he was already an invincible existence, and he wasn't afraid of these secrets being discovered.
On the way, Li Haotian checked the storage rings of more than a dozen loose immortals and took out an identity jade token from inside.
As Qingfeng Daoren had said, after dripping blood to recognize it as his master, this jade token would be his.
Because this identity jade token was refined from materials found inside the South Heaven Gate, the jade token would react when entering the South Heaven Gate.
Li Haotian had more than a dozen such jade tokens in his hand, and another dozen belonging to the South Sea Spring Eye, which Li Haotian hadn't used for now.
In addition, there were quite a few supreme grade profound heaven spirit treasures in the storage rings, as well as about twenty half-immortal artifacts, all of which could be enhanced into low-grade immortal artifacts and middle grade celestial artifact; Li Haotian was very happy.
The most abundant items in the storage rings were nurturing essence immortal pill and Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit; combined with what Li Haotian had obtained from the exchange, there were a total of one hundred and ten thousand Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit and as many as one hundred and fifty thousand nurturing essence immortal pill.
There were many outlets for these items; whether it was Dongfang Jinli, Ye Fanchen after becoming an immortal, or even Lu Yuan, they would all need these resources.
Li Haotian was going to scout the way this time, making it convenient for future entry.
Even Li Jia would come here to trade in the future; he wanted to investigate the situation inside before deciding.
The entrance to the South Heaven Gate was actually above the Ten Thousand Mountains, concealed by a hidden formation, so almost no one knew that the South Heaven Gate was actually here.
Li Haotian felt a bit annoyed; he should have thought it would be here long ago, but he had always thought it must be in some corner of the Ten Thousand Mountains and hadn't considered the sky.
In the sky, Qingfeng Daoren took out his jade token and channeled immortal essence into it; a ripple appeared in the sky, and the three of them quickly entered it.
Qingfeng Daoren quickly said, "fellow daoist, quickly give your cat an identity jade token; it is also a living being and must have an entry pass."
Li Haotian nodded slightly, took out a jade token, and had Mu Mu drip blood to recognize it as her master; the blood recognition was quickly completed.
At this time, the three people and one cat had already arrived in a very spacious space.
The immortal spirit energy in this space was dense, the environment was also very good, and there were even millions-year-old spirit medicines all around, which no one had picked.
Li Haotian asked, "Are these things all ownerless?"
Qingfeng Daoren shook his head and said, "The South Heaven Gate is divided into three areas. Unless you can purchase a mountain peak to become your own territory, otherwise, all resources in this area belong to the owner of this area and cannot be mined arbitrarily."
"Also, one more thing, fighting is not allowed after entering the South Heaven Gate. If there are any disputes, you can go to the life-and-death arena. The security of this South Heaven Gate is quite good."
Li Haotian nodded. Having cultivated to their realm, even if there were some conflicts, they wouldn't go to the life-and-death arena unless there was a deep-seated grudge.
Suddenly, Li Haotian asked, "You said buying a mountain peak, does that mean all the resources on the mountain belong to you after purchasing it?"
Qin Fengtian shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Although you buy the mountain peak, you still need to pay a fee every year, which is equivalent to three-tenths of the total income from the resources on that mountain."
Li Haotian shook his head. In that case, even if you buy a mountain peak, you're just working for someone else, which isn't cost-effective.
It seems it's better to get your own Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven and cultivate your own resources, so you don't have to worry about being exploited.
There are many Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit, and the cores can be used as seeds to plant; they grow in five hundred years, bloom in five hundred years, bear fruit in five hundred years, and mature in five hundred years, becoming edible in two thousand years.
This is much faster than those million-year-old spirit medicines; however, this Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit needs to grow in a place with immortal spirit energy.
As long as Li Haotian cultivates an Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven, he can cultivate a large amount of Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit, thereby obtaining a large amount of High Grade immortal fruit.
High Grade immortal fruit are very valuable and cannot be bought with immortal spirit crystal, after all, they are immortal fruit that golden immortal experts use to improve their cultivation.
Qin Fengtian said with a smile, "Li Daoyou, why don't we go to our mountain peak to rest for a bit, and then we can take you around?"
Qin Fengtian and his companion were both ten tribulation loose immortals and close friends who had faced life and death together, so they bought one mountain peak.
After all, after they passed their twelfth celestial tribulation, they would either leave this place to a descendant or abandon it; buying too much was not cost-effective.
After a loose immortal passes the twelfth celestial tribulation, no one will choose to stay, because after ascending to the immortal realm and condensing a physical body, they can instantly break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
If they stay in the lower realm, they might be considered a Twelve Tribulation Loose Immortal, with a True Immortal Peak cultivation.
Li Haotian said with a smile, "Alright, then let's go see the dojo of the two fellow daoists."
Hearing Li Haotian's words, they also became happy. A dojo, that is something only a mighty cultivator's cave dwelling can be called.
In the entire South Heaven Gate, only the cave dwellings of the three celestial immortal experts could be called dojos; other places could only be considered areas with dense immortal spirit energy.
Led by Qingfeng Daoren and his companion, Li Haotian, holding the spirit cat Mu Mu, followed them into a small mountain.
This mountain did not look large, and it was filled with Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit trees; only at the peak of the mountain were there two palaces, which should be where their cave dwellings were located.
The left side was inscribed with Qingfeng Hall, and the right side was Fengtian Pavilion.
The three people and one cat walked into Qingfeng Hall. Qingfeng Daoren took out immortal fruit and immortal wine to entertain them; here in the South Heaven Gate, it was very easy to buy immortal fruit and immortal wine.
Li Haotian silently thought, "System, enhance the immortal wine!"
"Ding, enhancement failed, insufficient immortal spirit crystal."
A hint of excitement flashed in Li Haotian's eyes; he could actually enhance the immortal wine.
This immortal wine was just the lowest grade lower grade immortal wine; if enhanced, it could at least become middle grade immortal wine, which would definitely sell well.
Thinking of this, Li Haotian asked, "This is quite good, how do you sell it?"
Qingfeng Daoren said with a smile, "This is brewed from Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit; one hundred immortal fruit brew one tael, it's called Essence Cultivation Immortal Wine, and its value is one hundred and fifty Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit. The utility value isn't very cost-effective."
Li Haotian nodded. It was indeed not very cost-effective, but for him, it was different.
Since it was brewed from Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit, this Essence Cultivation Immortal Wine should be able to be enhanced into High Grade immortal wine.
Many people don't like to consume immortal fruit directly and prefer immortal wine; if there is High Grade immortal wine, that would be even better.
"I can buy some back for the members of my li family to try. Where can I buy it?"
Li Haotian felt that he should first buy some back for Dongfang Jinli, Ye Fanchen, and Lu Yuan to try and see if he could open up the market.
If he could open up the immortal wine market, that would be even better.
Qingfeng Daoren said with a smile, "That is possible. When we go to the market later, there will be shops specializing in selling immortal wine. I'll take fellow daoist there."
Li Haotian nodded slightly, sat down, and ate a bite of the immortal fruit. His heart stirred, and he asked, "What kind of fruit is this? It feels like the immortal energy inside is more abundant than Nurturing Essence Immortal Fruit."
Qingfeng Daoren said, "This is Gathering Immortal Fruit, the supreme grade among lower grade immortal fruit. The quantity is scarce; on my mountain peak, thirty fruits can be produced every three thousand years. These are what I have accumulated over the years."
Li Haotian's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the price of this Gathering Immortal Fruit?"
He remembered that one of the main ingredients for refining the Immortal Breaking Pill was Gathering Immortal Fruit. The Immortal Breaking Pill was also a very precious resource in the immortal realm, which could be seen from the fact that Lu Yuan only produced ten in two transactions.
