Chapter 27
For the sake of the Great Dao, Luo Chen decided to be extravagant!
In the Spirit Herb Pavilion, amidst the smiles of the maid at the counter, Luo Chen took out five hundred spirit stones with a heart-wrenching feeling.
"Five bottles of Qi-Nurturing Pills, welcome to visit again!"
The one thousand one hundred spirit stones he just got were gone by nearly half.
Anyone would feel heartache.
But Luo Chen knew deeply that this spirit stone must be spent at the current stage.
Logically speaking, he should spend the spirit stones on expanding the business of the Myriad Wonder Pills, rapidly improving his proficiency, and then generating huge net profits.
Only in this way could he get rid of his current predicament and move towards a sustainable path of cultivation.
However, the external environment is different now!
He killed two cultivators in succession and looted the heritage of three corpses.
Especially that cultivator surnamed Gao, whose family background was so rich, he might have a great background.
If someone finds him, regardless of the regulations issued by the Yuding Sect in the Dahe Market, and forcibly wants to kill him.
With his strength at the fourth level of Qi Refining, how can he resist?
The Soul-Breaking Nail is indeed powerful, but it is not invincible.
Wang Yuan once escaped calmly after being hit by a nail, and then killed two people in return.
Even if Luo Chen didn't kill the third short-lived ghost at that time, Wang Yuan would definitely have been able to kill him with his knife.
Wang Yuan was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and there are many who are stronger than him.
Therefore, Luo Chen cannot harbor any luck.
Moving into the inner city is one way.
Rapidly improving his cultivation realm is another way.
After experiencing the effect of the Qi-Nurturing Pill last time, Luo Chen knew that he would probably be inseparable from taking pills for cultivation in this lifetime.
He tried it last night, and the improvement brought by the perfection-level Everlasting Spring Art and the first-rank spirit vein did not reach the level of a qualitative change.
If he wants a qualitative change, he has to accumulate it slowly over time.
Time?
Luo Chen, who only has a lifespan of seventy-five years, is lacking time!
So taking pills is a must; he can't do it without taking them!
Putting the five bottles of Qi-Nurturing Pills into his storage bag with great care, Luo Chen's footsteps were slightly hesitant.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the Spirit Source Studio.
Fortunately, he is a cultivator; if he were a mortal gritting his teeth and taking out spirit stones every day, his teeth would have been bitten to pieces.
The Spirit Source Studio is a shop opened by the Five Elements Divine Sect, one of the six great superior sects of the Far East, in the Dahe Market.
The Five Elements Divine Sect is famous for its Five Elements spells, and most of the experts in the sect know an extremely exquisite Five Elements spell.
This is quite unique among cultivators who mainly rely on magic treasures and talismans in battle.
Compared to battle, the Five Elements Divine Sect prefers to use Five Elements spells in production.
Various spirit herb cultivation can be called the leader of the six domains.
Even the Medicine King Sect, which is also good at cultivating spirit herbs, can only slightly suppress the Five Elements Divine Sect in the field of medicinal materials.
Apart from this, the Five Elements Divine Sect has almost no opponents.
Not to mention anything else, the most common spirit rice in the entire Six Domains cultivation world is basically produced by the Five Elements Divine Sect.
Although other sects have more or less private land to cultivate spirit grains, for some reason, the spirit rice they produce is far inferior to that of the Five Elements Divine Sect in terms of taste and the amount of spiritual energy contained.
It can only be said that in the field of spirit herb cultivation, the Five Elements Divine Sect's competitiveness covers the Six Domains.
Luo Chen entered the Spirit Source Studio, first bought ten catties of spirit rice for one spirit stone, and then walked to the counter.
"Can I see the spell catalog?"
The beautiful clerk's eyes lit up, and she deftly took out a book.
"Guest, which kind of spell do you want to buy?"
"Qi Refining middle stage? Have you learned all the necessary spells? If not, then I passionately recommend you choose this set of spells, only five medium spirit stones."
Luo Chen's eyes jumped.
Five, five hundred!
"They all have personal annotations from the experts of my Five Elements Divine Sect, guaranteed to help you get started quickly."
"If you have already learned them, you can also consider the Five Elements spells improved by my Five Elements Sect, for example, this one, the Fire Bird Spell evolved from the Fireball Spell! The spiritual energy consumption is the same, but it is ever-changing. When you need spirit stones, you can also help people set off fire bird fireworks to earn some pocket money."
"This one is also good, the water-type Small Cloud and Rain Spell, very suitable for watering flowers!"
"Price? That is naturally affordable, only three medium spirit stones!"
Luo Chen left the Spirit Source Studio in a daze.
Spells?
He didn't buy a single one!
It was really too expensive; a Fire Bird Spell evolved from a Fireball Spell dared to ask for three medium spirit stones, which is three hundred inferior spirit stones!
He was crazy to spend money to buy this.
As for the several types of spells he truly wanted, the price also made his brain lack oxygen.
It's all because of poverty!
The Five Elements Divine Sect is famous for being good at Five Elements spells, and it also has deep involvement in other spells.
Therefore, in every Spirit Source Studio, some spells will be sold.
Perhaps they are all common low-rank spells, but after the annotations of the experts of the Five Elements Divine Sect, they are very easy for cultivators to get started.
If they are improved spells, they are even more powerful.
So, Luo Chen wanted to come and take a look.
However, the price made him flinch.
"It seems that I can only go to the rogue cultivator market to dig for those three-no spells."
No sect endorsement, no expert annotations, no after-sales guarantee.
Arriving at the rogue cultivator market in the south of the city, the crowd was sparse and slightly deserted.
The big market had just opened not long ago, and the small market would have to wait until three days later.
Luo Chen wandered around the market with the idea of hitting a pole if there were dates or not.
However, after turning around once, it made him slightly disappointed.
It wasn't a small market, it wasn't a big market, and those setting up stalls were some long-term stall owners, selling goods with stable production.
Like cultivation methods and spells, this kind of thing definitely couldn't be counted as stable production.
It all depends on those who lick blood with knives.
"Licking blood with knives every day, aren't you afraid of poison on the knives? Didn't see one today, were they all poisoned to death?"
Luo Chen cursed unhappily and intended to leave.
However, when leaving the market, he ran into an acquaintance.
Seeing him, Luo Chen was overjoyed, and his heart was pounding.
"Brother Wang, my brother!"
Sure enough, my Brother Wang never licks knives with poison!
Wang Yuan glanced at him and walked towards his stall.
Luo Chen followed behind him, looking just like a little follower.
What do you mean like a little follower, he, Luo Chen, is covered by Brother Wang, that's it!
A gray cloth was spread on the ground, Wang Yuan waved his hand, and a large pile of things appeared on the gray cloth.
Various magic tools stained with blood, various books and bamboo slips, and even a yellowed jade slip.
Looking at this large pile of things, the rich smell of blood on them made Luo Chen's eyelids jump.
"Brother Wang, a bountiful harvest recently!"
Wang Yuan's mouth twitched, "They aren't all mine."
Luo Chen had also inquired before, and Wang Yuan really didn't just do things like killing people and seizing treasures or village head fights.
He has a proper job.
That is to handle some dirty goods of unknown origin for the Poshan Gang, from which he can collect a lot of profit.
So Luo Chen could see Wang Yuan every time, regardless of the size of the market.
This is a very promising job.
"No fighting outside lately?"
How can a cultivator's battle be called fighting!
Wang Yuan drooped his eyelids, "Stopped, will fight again in a few days."
Gang fights, so particular about rules?
Luo Chen was a little confused.
But this is a good thing, otherwise how would Wang Yuan have time to set up a stall.
