_1 When Liu Ruqing left, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought Qiao Wei would be so ruthless in bargaining?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei started by asking for two million spirit stones, and Liu Ruqing tried to haggle by crying poverty and putting on a pitiful act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he had to give up 600,000 spirit stones and his magical treasure, the Demon Ox Drum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come out to cause trouble for others, but in the process, even his own magical treasure was extorted from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, in front of hundreds of people, Qiao Wei had taken advantage of him, causing him to lose face entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Ruqing had already decided to go into closed-door cultivation and not come out until he reached the Transforming God realm, so as to avoid being gossiped about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Chen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already registered with the Cave Master, having known him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was an aboveboard, rule-abiding struggle, even injuring him would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his disciples and daughter could not beat Lin Chen, and if he took action against Lin Chen, he would be seen as a bully, Qiao Wei would not sit idly by, and there was no telling what the Cave Master might do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it; just drop this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t afford to provoke them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Hai was taken away, becoming a cripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never have the qualifications to live on top of a mountain again and could only spend the rest of his life on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about his once beautiful future, whenever he looked up at the floating mountain peaks, his heart must be filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen followed Qiao Wei back to the cliffside courtyard and set foot in her residence for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit down, make yourself at home, and don’t be polite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingling brought tea to Lin Chen with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, Lin Chen would become Qiao Wei’s junior brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Water and Fire Mirror in your hands will surely attract the jealousy of many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, you’ve already mentioned the Cave Master’s name, so these people shouldn’t dare to make any overt moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in private, like when you enter the Secret Realm, you need to be careful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Su Mubai promised to help me refine pills, so I should be going into closed-door cultivation in the cave mansion soon to improve my strength, while also cultivating the Three-foot Sword Curtain technique you gave me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei nodded, “You’ve reached the early Golden Core stage at such a young age, which is already an extraordinary talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in a real battle, no one would care about rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength is the only criterion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water and Fire Mirror can indeed help you, but it can also bring you some trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen listened carefully, “I will do my best to improve my strength and become more capable of self-defense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei laughed, “When you reach the Nascent Soul stage and cultivate the Three-foot Sword Curtain to more than 100 layers, I won’t worry about you walking around outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen forced a wry smile, “That’s quite a long way off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside cultivation, just gathering the resources needed for Sword Bone won’t be easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei chuckled, “That’s why you need to work hard to earn spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Iron Crow Essence in the entire Nanyue Hengshan Cave World has been almost completely scavenged by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if you want to obtain it, you have to buy it with a large number of spirit stones outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price is about 300,000 to 400,000 spirit stones per piece…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen did a quick mental calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was 300,000 spirit stones per piece, Qiao Wei had already cultivated to 158 layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that without considering other consumable resources, just purchasing Black Iron Crow Essence, she had already spent close to 50 million spirit stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an immense sum, and even Liu Ruqing, who was at the Nascent Soul level, couldn’t produce 1 million spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had to use Magical Treasures to make up for the shortfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen couldn’t imagine how Qiao Wei had managed to earn so many spirit stones, especially considering that she also needed other resources to cultivate the Three-foot Sword Curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it, Lin Chen felt that Qiao Wei’s journey to this point in her cultivation was incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As shocked as he was, Lin Chen didn’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the combination of the Shengling Pearl and the Water and Fire Mirror, it was easy for him to plant Ling Medicine and earn spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earning spirit stones was just a matter of time for Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it wouldn’t delay his cultivation, so there was no hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “Previously, Su Mubai’s father, Su Dingbo, mentioned participating in the Cultivation World’s trade fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Sister, what kind of strength or conditions do I need to reach in order to leave the Cave World and go to other places?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei laughed, “Do you want to go out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, I’ve always been curious about the Cultivation World, and I hope to leave as soon as possible and go to other sects to find my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, didn’t you just say that there is no Black Iron Crow Essence left in Nanyue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I want to obtain it, I must go out, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei smiled gently, “The world outside is not as safe as it is in the Cave World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you go out with low strength, it will be too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, improve your strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I leave later, I’ll take you with me to let you see it for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was overjoyed, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Wei instructed, “First, cultivate the Three-foot Sword Curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you succeed, you can start cultivating the Sword Bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still have some materials here that you can use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest, you can gather them slowly in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I must warn you, this is a long and hard process, and you need to be mentally prepared…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T01:51:45.858Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7e5b6229ec68225078e9946d4155633c6c143fb02ffab483ccae344276c7290","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-671","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-669",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
