Chapter 58: Fifth Level of Qi Refining (Added update, seeking follow-up reading!)

In the cultivation world, spirit stones are money.

That thing can't be eaten or drunk, although it contains majestic spiritual energy, it is full of impurities.

If a cultivator is not at the moment of life and death, he definitely dare not absorb it directly.

Generally, it is used by large forces to stimulate formations and drive large magic treasures.

It is the legendary top-grade spirit stone, whose internal spiritual energy is condensed to an extremely pure state, which cultivators can absorb directly.

However, that kind of good thing is not something ordinary cultivators can touch at all.

Not to mention top-grade spirit stones, ordinary spirit stones can indeed be used as general currency because of their scarcity.

And the issuance right of this currency is basically in the hands of large sects.

The reason is very simple, the stronger the sect, the better the spirit veins they can occupy.

And spirit stones are produced in various spirit veins.

Currency, in the earth, actually has no actual value.

It is more of a manifestation of a country's credit, and this credit is formed by the fusion of strong national power and abundant resources.

When a country's credit goes bankrupt, currency is actually a pile of waste paper.

In this cultivation world, the truth is similar.

The sect is too strong, so when they set the settlement of their respective cultivation resources as "spirit stones", ordinary cultivators can only accept it.

Not only accept it, but also have to go all out to earn enough spirit stones.

The dispute between the Dajiang Gang and the Poshan Gang is for the resources in the mountains, and those resources represent spirit stones one by one.

And at this time in the Dajiang Gang, Gang Leader Wang Haichao sent away a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a tired expression.

"Finally talked it over."

"As long as we win the death duel the day after tomorrow and master the channel resources in the mountains, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance promises to hand over the water transport of the other four markets to us."

Below him, it was the Dajiang Gang's second-in-command, Gao Tingyuan.

Hearing this, Gao Tingyuan couldn't help but be extremely excited.

Just the water transport in the Great River Market alone made the Dajiang Gang earn a lot of money, and even supported the daily cultivation of Wang Haichao, who was in the Foundation Establishment period.

If they took down the water transport rights of the other four markets, how much would the Dajiang Gang earn?

At least it could supply one or two more Foundation Establishment periods!

Seeing him so excited, Wang Haichao frowned slightly, but soon showed a smile.

"Little Gao, you have been with me for so long, it's not easy."

"After taking down the four water transport rights, I will definitely try my best to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for you."

Gao Tingyuan was overjoyed and bent down to bow.

"Serving the boss, I will die without regret!"

Wang Haichao twitched his mouth and didn't mention this again, changing the topic.

"How is it, are you sure about the death duel the day after tomorrow?"

The eighteen-person list for the Dao Discussion Platform death duel had already been submitted.

However, the order of the battles between each other was still in the confidential stage.

In other words, Gao Tingyuan might encounter the Poshan Seven Tigers, or he might encounter the Two Blades.

Involving life and death, Gao Tingyuan's joy gradually faded, turning into solemnity.

"As long as I don't encounter the Broken Blade Xu Renke, I won't lose!"

Wang Haichao was also very clear about this point.

Little Gao's strength is very strong, especially on the big rivers, so he also has the title of Mixed River Dragon.

But the Dao Discussion Platform has a limited environment. If he encounters the other party, he will definitely lose.

"Others, are you sure about all of them?" Wang Haichao asked.

Gao Tingyuan confidently said: "The other eight, the Poshan Seven Tigers, only the Heart-Eating Tiger and the Down-Mountain Tiger have some strength, but I am not afraid at all. The Sick Tiger was very strong before, but after his path was cut off, he indulged in enjoyment, and I surpassed him a few years ago."

"What about the Broken Jade Tiger?"

"Haha, just a hairy kid."

"No, I'm talking about the previous Broken Jade Tiger."

Gao Tingyuan was startled, "Is he back?"

Seeing his appearance, Wang Haichao shook his head, "It seems you have no confidence, but don't worry. With a full nine people, the chance of you encountering him is not high, and I have arranged for others."

Hearing the words "others", Gao Tingyuan's expression was a bit gloomy.

Originally, in the Dajiang Gang, besides Gang Leader Wang Haichao, he was the second expert.

But recently, several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators emerged from nowhere, all of them strong, which had greatly threatened his status.

"It might be people secretly supported by the Lianyun Merchant Alliance. I hope that after participating in the death duel, they will roll back to wherever they came from." Gao Tingyuan thought to himself.

Suddenly!

Wang Haichao's face changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up and grabbed with his hand.

But, he grabbed empty air.

Swish!

A sharp whistle, a small sword brightly inserted in front of his desk.

On the small sword, a yellow talisman burned naturally without wind, followed by a cold and sharp voice.

"Manage your people, don't come to the inner city to make trouble."

It was a flying sword transmission unique to the Yuding Sword Sect, and the effect was even better than ordinary sound transmission talismans.

The blood on Wang Haichao's face faded, leaving it pale.

He slowly raised his head and stared at Gao Tingyuan.

"You sent someone to the inner city?"

Gao Tingyuan was also frightened at this moment.

That small sword was too fast.

If it wanted to kill him, it wouldn't take any effort.

After all, Wang Haichao, who was in the Foundation Establishment period, didn't catch it when he was caught off guard.

From this, it can be seen that the person who issued this flying sword transmission was at least in the Foundation Establishment period.

He showed an ugly smile and barely said: "Boss, I just sent two people to investigate Luo Chen, who is the person involved in the death of my little brother."

"Things that fail to succeed and succeed in failing!"

Wang Haichao scolded, then roared: "Didn't I say don't make trouble before the matter is over?"

Gao Tingyuan didn't dare to speak, just lowered his head.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Haichao knew that he still needed the other party's effort this time, so he suppressed his anger and said: "Say it again, before the Core Formation True Person of the Yuding Sword Sect leaves, don't make trouble in the inner city, and restrain yourself in the outer city."

"Understood, boss!"

"You go down, prepare well for the death duel."

After he left, Wang Haichao rubbed his eyebrows.

Then he took out a list from his storage bag.

"This guy's ambition is getting bigger and bigger, keeping him in the future is a bit of a hindrance!"

After getting off the big boat, Gao Tingyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It happened that Duan Sanfu came up, and he slapped him backhand.

"Where is the monkey?"

Duan Sanfu was slapped and stunned, subconsciously replying: "Stay in the inner city, watching that kid."

"Are you sure he hasn't been exposed?"

"Should, should not have been exposed yet! And, even if exposed, it doesn't matter..."

Slap!

Another slap.

"Things that fail to succeed and succeed in failing."

Gao Tingyuan walked away angrily, leaving Duan Sanfu stiff in place, with symmetrical red finger marks on his left and right cheeks.

Two days later, the entire Great River Market, two or three thousand cultivators, all took action.

Putting down the things in their hands, they moved toward the inner city.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Dao Discussion Platform, which is definitely a top-notch event in the local area.

Regardless of whether they can mix into Mount Luofeng to observe, it is a good thing to be able to feel it at close range.

And I heard that the Yuding Sword Pavilion also built a gambling house in the inner city, which will open a market for the eighteen blood duels between the two gangs at that time.

The minimum limit for betting is one spirit stone, with no upper limit.

Even the poorest cultivator can take out one or two spirit stones.

Can't watch it, bet on winning or losing, can also be counted as participating in this grand event!

Many years later, it can be completely used as a talking point.

And in that courtyard in the north of the city, Murong Qinglian got up early and began to prepare the outfit for her husband Qin Liangchen.

In the courtyard, Bai Meiling and Feng Xia were a bit depressed.

They couldn't go to the scene, the city must have a lot of people today, which is the best day for Baicao Hall to do business.

Two workers, can't leave.

Accompanied by Murong Qinglian, Qin Liangchen walked out wearing a brand new Daoist robe.

"Brother Qin, you must win!"

"Old Qin, win the first battle, return safely!"

Qin Liangchen laughed, "Okay, I'll set up a banquet when I come back, and everyone will have a good meal."

Just as he was laughing, the door of the inverted room opposite suddenly opened.

A young man in a gray robe, with a wooden hairpin on his head and long hair tied behind him, walked out.

Qin Liangchen's eyes lit up, "Little Luo, has your realm improved?"

"Thanks to the bowl of tiger bone soup that sister-in-law sent over, I also got to share in your good fortune, Brother Qin."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, and the spiritual power aura of the fifth level of Qi Refining fluctuated faintly.

Just now, his cultivation progress bar broke through one hundred, from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

And what he said was not false.

In these two days, he took a total of three Nourishing Qi Pills and increased three points of progress.

Operating Changchun Gong, he also increased a lot of spiritual power.

And the final qualitative change was that small bowl of tiger bone soup.

In addition to strengthening Qi and blood, it also contained a lot of spiritual energy.

After refining for these two days, it was finally completed!

Qin Liangchen patted Luo Chen on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Your realm improvement is a great joy, just in time to help me have fun, I will definitely defeat the enemy today!" ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
