Heaven-Supporting Peak, Qinggang Market.

The barbarian wizards of the Jiuli World have ranks from Ninth Grade to First Grade, with Ninth being the lowest and First the highest. This classification was established by the Taoist sects of the Jiuli World in the past.

Before this, wizards did not have specific ranks.

Above First Grade is the Great Wizard.

The Great Wizard corresponds to the Heavenly Immortal of the Taoist sects.

Of course, this is just a rough comparison, as the methods of combat between the two differ. The forms of destructive power are also different.

A First Grade wizard is at the Ghost Immortal Creator level, though in the Taoist sects of the Jiuli World, they prefer to call it "Yang God."

The Qinggang Clan, as one of the major tribes in the Black Water State, hosts a Third Rank wizard. It is said that there is also an ancestor at the Second Grade wizard level who has shut themselves in for a life-or-death retreat.

Even in some powerful states, it is not considered a weak force.

Moreover, since the appearance of the third sun in the Black Water State, the potential has naturally skyrocketed.

If the Qinggang Clan continues to develop, it's only a matter of time before a First Grade wizard emerges.

However, in the Jiuli World, only tribes with a Great Wizard can truly prosper and have the qualifications to become one of the decision-makers of the Jiuli Tribe Alliance.

Otherwise, they can only rise and fall with the battles and shifts between tribes.

But the appearance of each Great Wizard is unique, without any trace to follow. Many First Grade wizards, until their physical bodies decay, cannot find the path to become a Great Wizard.

In contrast, with Taoism's Yang God, as long as there are no accidents, one can naturally advance to Heavenly Immortal after perfecting their practice.

This is also why the Taoist sects once flourished in the Jiuli World.

Compared to the elusive Great Wizard, the path of the Taoist Heavenly Immortal is clearer.

Many exceptionally talented barbarians of that era joined the Taoist sects to refine Qi and take medicine.

But eventually, it led to the brutal attacks and reckoning from the Jiuli Tribe.

Over the span of millions of years, one Taoist Heavenly Immortal after another turned into the suns of different states in the Jiuli World. Some barbarians felt it was like hanging the heads of the Taoist Heavenly Immortals in the sky, showcasing the splendid martial prowess of the Jiuli Tribe as the absolute dominant power.

But Xu Xuanhu believed it was not so simple, because the sky of every state was a star map corresponding to the cosmic stars.

This clearly seemed more like a magic ban of the Taoist sects.

However, matters on this level were far beyond Xu Xuanhu's current capabilities.

He needed to at least reach the level of a Third Generation Old Demon to have the qualifications to understand its mysteries. He also wanted to know if the other two suns in the Black Water State were the First and Second Generation Old Demons.

Why did the Third Generation Old Demon come to the Black Water State of the Jiuli World to become a sun?

These are major mysteries.

He temporarily set aside these doubts and focused on the current situation.

Xu Xuanhu, dressed in a black robe without any tribal insignia, walked in the Qinggang Market.

He quietly sensed the aura of Xing Shi that had sold that bag of Spirit Rice.

Unfortunately, after making a round, he discovered nothing.

At this moment, a chubby old wizard approached him, "You seem unfamiliar, are you not a wizard from the Great Black Mountain?"

"Senior, you guessed right. I came from the Fufeng Tribe to travel." Xu Xuanhu didn't fabricate, he had carefully considered this identity.

In fact, most wizards are indifferent to each other.

It's rare to see someone like this chubby wizard actively engaging with a stranger wizard.

Xu Xuanhu felt a bit wary inside.

But he did not show it.

"I saw you circling the Qinggang Market; could it be that not even the market with the most abundant products in the Great Black Mountain has what you want?"

"I am young and inexperienced. I traveled here to broaden my horizons, not to buy anything," Xu Xuanhu replied neither humbly nor overbearing.

The chubby wizard smiled slightly, "I happened to find a good item."

He took out a small leather bag from his sleeve.

A familiar aura wafted out.

Xu Xuanhu quickly lowered his head, a trace of fluctuation appearing in his eyes.

Spirit Rice!

Countless thoughts churned in his mind.

Who is this person?

"What do you think?" the chubby wizard offered.

"Senior, what is inside this?" Xu Xuanhu feigned ignorance.

The chubby wizard smiled, "It's Spirit Rice. I trust you can recognize it."

Xu Xuanhu's gaze turned cold; from the chubby wizard's words, he sensed a hint of danger.

"I don't understand what you are talking about," Xu Xuanhu denied.

He was already calculating in his mind how to leave Qinggang Market.

The Wind Thunder Wings were ready to activate at any moment.

"Help me with one task, and I'll return this bag to you. Otherwise, you know what could happen," the chubby wizard transmitted his voice.

Xu Xuanhu suddenly calmed down, realizing that, for whatever reason, the other party definitely knew his true identity. He couldn't fathom where he had made a mistake.

However, since the other party had not exposed his disguise immediately, it was evident that they found him useful.

Xu Xuanhu decided to pretend for a while. After all, if the matter of the Spirit Rice leaked out, the Qingshui Clan might have to immediately flee.

He didn't want to see that happen.

"What business does senior have? No need to scare the junior," Xu Xuanhu neither admitted nor denied.

"The array base in the southeast part of Qinggang Market has been damaged. I need your help to use this Thunder Talisman there."

The art of arrays is also inherited from the Taoist sects and is used by many wizards.

Because wizards can naturally communicate with the heavens and the earth, they can comprehend the mysteries of it.

Moreover, practicing arrays is also beneficial to the wizard's cultivation.

"As fellow students of the Taoist sects, I believe you would be willing to help me with this favor."
