Chapter 27: My Brother Wang Never Licks Poisonous Knives

For the sake of the Great Dao, Luo Chen decided to be extravagant!

In the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, under the smile of the counter maid, Luo Chen took out 500 low-grade spirit stones with a painful heart.

"Five bottles of Qi-Nurturing Pills, welcome next time!"

The 1,100 spirit stones he had just obtained went away by nearly half.

Anyone would feel heartache.

But Luo Chen knew deeply that this spirit stone must be spent at the current stage.

Theoretically, he should spend the spirit stones on the expanded operation of Zhongmiao Pills, quickly improve proficiency, and then produce huge net profits.

Only in this way could he get rid of the embarrassing situation and move toward a sustainable path of cultivation.

But the external environment is different!

He killed two cultivators in succession and looted the legacy of three corpses.

Especially that cultivator surnamed Gao, whose assets were so rich, he might have a great background.

If someone comes to the door, regardless of the regulations issued by the Yuding Sect in Dahe Market, and forcibly wants to kill him.

With his strength at the fourth layer 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 hadn't killed the third short-lived ghost at that time, Wang Yuan would definitely have been able to behead him with his knife.

Wang Yuan was only at the seventh layer of Qi Refining, and there were many who were stronger than him.

So, Luo Chen cannot hold onto luck.

Moving into the inner city is one way.

Rapidly improving his realm is another way.

After experiencing the effect of Qi-Nurturing Pills last time, Luo Chen knew that he would probably be inseparable from taking pills for cultivation in this life.

Last night he tried, the perfect-level Changchun Technique plus the first-order spiritual vein, the improvement it brought him did not reach the level of qualitative change.

To achieve qualitative change, one must use time to accumulate slowly.

Time?

Luo Chen, who only had 75 years of lifespan left, was short of time!

So taking pills is a must; if you don't take them, it won't work!

After carefully putting the five bottles of Qi-Nurturing Pills into the storage bag, Luo Chen’s footsteps were slightly hesitant.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked toward the Spirit Source Studio.

It was fortunate that he was a cultivator; if he were a mortal biting his teeth and taking out spirit stones every day, his teeth would have been broken.

Spirit Source Studio was a shop opened in Dahe Market by the Five Elements God Sect, one of the six great upper sects of the Far East.

The Five Elements God Sect was famous for its Five Elements spells, and most of the experts in the sect could use extremely exquisite Five Elements spells.

This was quite unique among cultivators who mainly relied on magic treasures and talismans for combat.

Compared to combat, the Five Elements God Sect preferred to use Five Elements spells for production.

Various spiritual plant cultivation could be called the leader of the six regions.

Even the Medicine King Sect, which was also good at cultivating spiritual plants, could only slightly suppress the Five Elements God Sect in the field of medicinal materials.

Besides this, the Five Elements God Sect had almost no opponents.

Not to mention anything else, the most common spiritual rice in the daily life of the six-region cultivation world was basically produced by the Five Elements God Sect.

Although other sects had more or less private land to cultivate spiritual grains, for some reason, the spiritual rice they produced, whether in taste or the amount of spiritual energy contained, was far inferior to that of the Five Elements God Sect.

It could only be said that in the field of spiritual plant cultivation, the Five Elements God Sect’s competitiveness covered the six regions.

Luo Chen entered the Spirit Source Studio, first spent one spirit stone to buy ten catties of spiritual rice, and then walked to the counter.

"Can I look at the spell catalog?"

The beautiful counter lady’s eyes lit up, and she skillfully took out a book.

"Guest, which kind of spell do you want to buy?"

"Mid-stage Qi Refining? Have you learned all the must-learn spells? If not, then I passionately recommend you choose this set of spells, only five mid-grade spirit stones."

Luo Chen’s eyes jumped.

Five, five hundred!

"There are personal annotations by the high-level people of my Five Elements God Sect on it, guaranteed to ensure you get started quickly."

"If you have learned them all, you can also consider the Five Elements spells improved by my Five Elements Sect, for example, this one, the Fire Bird Technique evolved from the Fireball Technique! The spiritual energy consumption is the same, but it is ever-changing. When you are short of spirit stones, you can also help people set off fire bird fireworks to earn some pocket money."

"This one is also good, the water-system Small Cloud and Rain Technique, very suitable for watering flowers!"

"Price? Naturally, it is high quality and low price, only three mid-grade spirit stones!"

Luo Chen left the Spirit Source Studio dizzy.

Spells?

He didn't buy any!

It was really too expensive; a Fire Bird Technique evolved from a Fireball Technique dared to ask for three mid-grade spirit stones, which was 300 low-grade spirit stones!

He was crazy to spend money to buy this.

As for the several spells he truly wanted, the price also made his brain oxygen-deficient.

It was all because of poverty!

The Five Elements God Sect was famous for being good at Five Elements spells, and they also had deep involvement in other spells.

Therefore, in every Spirit Source Studio, some spells would be sold.

Perhaps they were all common low-grade spells, but after the annotations of the high-level people of the Five Elements God Sect, they were very easy for cultivators to get started.

If they were improved spells, they would be even more powerful.

So, Luo Chen wanted to come and see.

However, the price made him shrink back.

"It seems that I can only go to the loose cultivator market to dig for those three-no spells."

No sect endorsement, no high-level annotations, no after-sales guarantee.

Coming to the loose cultivator market in the south of the city, the crowd was sparse and slightly cold.

The big market had just opened not long ago, and the small market had 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, he was slightly disappointed.

It wasn't a small market, nor a big market; the stall owners were some long-term stall owners, selling goods with stable output.

Like cultivation techniques and spells, they definitely couldn't be called stable output.

They all relied on those who licked blood on the edge of a knife to produce.

"Licking blood on the edge of a knife every day, aren't they afraid of poison on the knife? Didn't see one today, were they all poisoned to death?"

Luo Chen cursed quite unhappily and planned to leave.

However, when leaving the market, he ran into an acquaintance.

Seeing him, Luo Chen was overjoyed, and the little deer in his heart bumped wildly.

"Brother Wang, my brother!"

Sure enough, my Brother Wang never licks poisonous knives!

Wang Yuan glanced at him and walked toward his stall.

Luo Chen followed him like a little follower.

What do you mean like a little follower, he, Luo Chen, is the one protected by Brother Wang, that’s right!

A gray cloth was spread on the ground, and Wang Yuan waved his hand, and a dense 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 big pile of things, the rich smell of blood on it made Luo Chen’s eyelids jump.

"Brother Wang, a rich harvest recently!"

Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched. "They aren't all mine."

Luo Chen had also inquired before; Wang Yuan really wasn't just doing things like killing for treasure and fighting in the village.

He had a proper job.

That was to handle some dirty goods of unknown origin for the Poshan Gang, from which he could collect a lot of profit.

So Luo Chen could see Wang Yuan every time, regardless of the size of the market.

This was a very promising job.

"No fighting outside recently?"

How can a cultivator’s battle be called fighting!

Wang Yuan drooped his eyelids. "Stopped, will fight again in a few days."

Gang fighting, is it so disciplined?

Luo Chen was a bit confused.

But this was a good thing, otherwise how would Wang Yuan have time to set up a stall. ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
