they were items gathered by low-tier cultivators in the nearby mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing thought to buy them for practice, perhaps to try alchemy, artifact refining, or array formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall cost was low, less than 100 Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was Li Yunjing’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other loose cultivators knew Li Yunjing had spent 100 Spirit Stones on low-tier materials, they would probably consider killing him to seize his fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For countless loose cultivators, 100 Spirit Stones was an astronomical figure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Stones were not easy to accumulate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cultivator, the expenses were enormous; no amount of Spirit Stones was ever enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment a cultivator entered the cultivation realm, they became an endless pit of resource consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every aspect of cultivation required resources, which is why \"wealth, technique, partner, and land\" were considered the four crucial elements of cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth resources ranked first; without resources, no matter how talented you were, you couldn’t make a name for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s wealth far exceeded the level of ordinary Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those in the late Qi Cultivation Realm or core disciples from sects or clans could compare with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your average loose cultivator didn’t stand a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Li Yunjing, his purchasing of materials at the plaza’s booths was being watched closely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending another day in \"Red Sun Market,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing finally gathered all the materials he needed for practice and was thoroughly satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With six days left, it was time to leave the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he gathered, there was a famous \"Great Black Mountain\" nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was known for its rare treasures, with many loose cultivators scouring it for resources to sell at \"Red Sun Market.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, with nothing else pressing, Li Yunjing decided to try his luck in the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no hurry to return to Shenxiao Dao Sect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ventured into the depths of the Great Black Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at his surroundings and contemplating briefly, he decided to head eastward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mountain was vast, spanning several hundred miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, he couldn’t possibly search the entire area thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to focus on one direction and trust in his luck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking five miles, Li Yunjing came across two Tier One \"Polygonatum\" and \"Reishi\" herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not highly valuable, he picked them nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they were worth one Spirit Stone; he couldn’t ignore money lying on the ground, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t yet in such a position of privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he also encountered some wild beasts, but sensing his dangerous aura, they dared not approach, much less attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without encountering any demon beasts, Li Yunjing didn’t bother with the ordinary animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further he proceeded into the mountain, the more various herbs he found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these herbs weren’t as potent as those nurtured by sects, their long existence in the Great Black Mountain gave them decent value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether for alchemy, medicine, or sale, they were all good choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he wandered and stopped along the way, undisturbed by other people, he focused on harvesting the herbs by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His route selection or perhaps the situation in the Great Black Mountain contributed to his serendipity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a day’s search, Li Yunjing had gathered over a dozen herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a harvest was incredibly impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were ten Low Grade Spirit Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on in this mountain? I’ve barely ventured seventy miles and found so many herbs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing couldn’t help but exclaim, almost unable to believe his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day later, he had to find a secluded spot to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also needed to tally his gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! Not bad at all. By the time I leave, I should have over 20 Spirit Stones worth of wealth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting his spoils, Li Yunjing was utterly satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1111,"2026-06-09T04:39:26.877Z",1,"novelbin.me","c17476b48c080d1f57d7d33b275a65831254d479b5406d71cf618af8d67509ee","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-310","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-309",1072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-cover.jpg"]
