This leg of the lizard goat is great for the Nine Beast Qi Pill.\" The stall owner hovered his cleaver over the leg and said, \"It’ll cost you half a spirit stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a spirit stone?\" Lin Xuan Qi frowned and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was equivalent to five taels of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things that were for cultivators were many times more expensive than those that were for mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand why those clans and families had so many businesses now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is the best price around here, you wouldn’t get a better price anywhere else.\" The burly man tried to persuade Lin Xuan Qi, but Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man plunged his cleaver onto the chopping board and grumbled as he watched Lin Xuan Qi walk further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi continued on and asked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were as expensive as he thought they would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One talisman cost a Spirit Stone while Artifacts started at five Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his goal of getting a storage Artifact was dashed when he got to the end of Wan Shou Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, the atmosphere was much different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators from the big clans and sects were few and far between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around him were rogue cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the stall owners looked much more grumpy than the burly man with the cleaver he had encountered earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi lowered his head and walked up to one of the stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many artifacts on sale but all of them seemed to be broken or had cracks on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any storage Artifacts?\" He asked, and the old man tending to the store lifted his head and frowned at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man couldn’t sense any Spirit Qi from Lin Xuan Qi and thought that Lin Xuan Qi was either a servant coming here on behalf of his master, or a cultivator who could hide his Spirit Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having seen so many things throughout his years, the old man thought that it was the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To live a long life as a cultivator, it was always better to be safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man pointed at a small toad statue with its side chipped off and said, \"That is a storage Artifact, but due to the damage it sustained during battle, the storage area inside it can only hold something as big as this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and pointed to a chest he had behind his stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi saw that the chest was around one meter long and half a meter in width and height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t help much even if he bought the storage Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, he would only be able to store one of his wooden chests inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man shrugged, thinking that Lin Xuan Qi wouldn’t be interested in the storage Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xuan Qi recalled what had happened previously when he used his Five-Element Qi with the turtle shell artifact from Sima Long’s guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is it?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a Spirit Stone.\" The old man replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I have a look?\" He asked, and the old man nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi picked up the small toad statue and directed his Five-Element Qi into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toad statue gave out a bright red glow from the inscriptions that were carved on its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something entered his mind and it was a space the size of a room, instead of the chest that the old man had mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hunch was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his Five-Element Qi, he was able to get many times the effect of someone else using Spirit Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi stopped directing his Five-Element Qi and glanced at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had his eyes and mouth wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time he had seen the toad statue give out such a bright glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi must have been an ancestor who could hide his cultivation level, the old man thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, take this.\" Lin Xuan Qi took out five taels of gold and placed them on the old man’s stall, \"I don’t have Spirit Stones with me so these should do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled, fearing that he would antagonize Lin Xuan Qi, nodded his head and said, \"Yes, it will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi shopped around and got other items from the other stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bought some yellow papers and materials that could be used for talismans, which used up the other five taels of gold he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi planned to begin learning about talismans from the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he was done, Lin Xuan Qi left Wan Shou Fang and headed back to the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, what did that young man buy?\" A rogue cultivator came up to the old man and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man frowned and shook his head, \"I wouldn’t try to be funny if I were you, Seng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rogue cultivator, Seng, smiled and showed his crooked teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sure I need to let the young cultivator know that it is dangerous out here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.971Z",1,"novelbin.me","fadf9607881ddd6dead348e5e3977010964f6d19db9e339c9431dd4aebb20be1","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-360","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-358",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
