strategic resources, extremely scarce and seldom sold to the outside,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such as third rank Talisman Making materials, our commerce guild currently does not sell them to outsiders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you, guest, are a second-tier top-level Talisman Master, and if you are willing to become a guest elder offering services for our commerce guild, we would have third rank Talisman Making materials available for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist cultivator smiled kindly as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not for sale to outsiders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s heart sank slightly, a sense of disappointment washing over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he had guessed that Jiuxiao Immortal City wouldn’t have too many third rank materials on offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had absolutely not expected that the Jiuxiao Commerce Guild wouldn’t sell third rank Talisman Making materials to outsiders at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Changsheng also understood when he thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most are used to cultivate their own Talisman Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they possibly sell them to outsiders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the great Immortal Sects also monopolize resources in this manner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forcing artisans of a certain level to choose to join a power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, limited by material channels, their skills would scarcely advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary Loose Cultivators, of course, would be happy to join a major power and enjoy the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his current situation didn’t allow the convenience of joining the Jiuxiao Commerce Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems I can only go through Qingyun Sect for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even entering Qingyun Sect, obtaining third rank materials will not be simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng inwardly sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if your guild may have these materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the list of materials required for crafting the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second-tier auxiliary materials for the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy artifact had already been completely purchased through Nine Dragons Market and Qingyun Commerce Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still lacked four main third rank materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please wait, guest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist said immediately upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out a Jade Scroll and began to check the various materials listed for Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guest, our guild currently has a piece of Dark Essence Steel and Blue Lapis Goldwood,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the female cultivator took out the Jade Scroll and spoke to Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark Essence Steel, Blue Lapis Goldwood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng’s face immediately revealed a joyous expression upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it’s indeed worthy of a big commerce guild from the Immortal City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to have two pieces of third rank materials available at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Dark Essence Steel was even one of the most precious materials for crafting the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that acquiring Dark Essence Steel would be the most troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask the price of these two materials?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark Essence Steel, twenty-one thousand Spirit Stones,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blue Lapis Goldwood, thirteen thousand Spirit Stones,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the receptionist announced the prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Changsheng was quite wealthy, he still couldn’t help but gasp at these prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were indeed expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, just purchasing the artifact Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy alone would cost him sixty to seventy thousand Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price had already surpassed that of a Spiritual Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed, bring me these two materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng said aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expensive or not, there was no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had come all the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy artifact in hand, the power and techniques he could wield from the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture through the Talisman Refinement Formation would greatly increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in Lu Changsheng’s view, the expense was still worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the receptionist invited him to a room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>where an advanced level receptionist conducted the transaction with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For materials of third rank, which are expensive and rare, ordinary receptionists did not have the authority to withdraw them from inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does your guild accept Spirit Talismans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inspecting the two materials and when he was about to pay, Lu Changsheng took out a stack of Second Rank Talismans and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past three-plus months of his visit, he had drawn many Second Rank Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to avoid running short on Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, at the time of payment, he directly took out some Talismans to use as a discount off the Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Rank Spirit Talisman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advanced receptionist examined the Talismans and agreed to purchase them at sixty percent of the market price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Changsheng used thirty Second Rank lower-grade Spirit Talismans and ten Second Rank middle-grade Spirit Talismans to discount ten thousand and eight hundred Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the remaining Spirit Stones, he left the Jiuxiao Commerce Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he inquired about other materials, third rank Talisman Making materials, in the shops of Jiuxiao Immortal City one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiuxiao Commerce Guild not selling third rank Talisman Making materials to the public didn’t mean all shops wouldn’t sell them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Lu Changsheng also began to inquire about third rank Spiritual Wood, third rank Spiritual Blood, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no third rank Talisman Making materials for sale, then he would purchase third rank Spiritual Wood and Spiritual Blood to craft his own Talisman Paper and Spirit Ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shopping around the Immortal City for two days, Lu Changsheng had some gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to purchase some third rank Talisman Making materials and a few rare Alchemy Spirit Medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials for the Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy were only one item short of completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An auction event?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lu Changsheng learned some news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a month and a half, there would be a semi-annual small auction event in Jiuxiao Immortal City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news, he became interested and thought he might attend to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was, items he needed might appear at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another was that after the auction ended, there would be a transaction event,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>allowing cultivators trade amongst themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of direct trading often featured rare items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But before that, I need to earn some Spirit Stones,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopping of the past couple of days had nearly depleted the Spirit Stones he had with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, if he wanted to participate in the auction, he needed to prepare some Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this trip, he not only purchased a large quantity of Talisman Materials but also many Alchemy materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Alchemy materials were sufficient for him to craft Harmonizing Energy Elixir, Three Suns Elixir, and a myriad of other Second Rank Elixir Medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lu Changsheng decided to spend some time trying out the Second Rank Alchemy Skills he had drawn but had never used before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to replenish his Storage Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-05-28T18:58:20.749Z","2026-06-01T04:28:44.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","6df83da6448734b6adcdaf39a3c1866cb6c313db0a2f1c1393b2b68cac263898","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-254","starting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-chapter-252",2199,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-son-in-law-to-build-an-long-last-cover.jpg"]
