The three slave traders were still wandering around in the alley where she passed. They waited for a long time but did not see the figure of the beautiful female cultivator.
"Damn it, that woman in the late Nascent Soul stage must have run away. She can't get far, let's chase her!" one of the traffickers said angrily.
That woman is so beautiful that she is most suitable to be sold to those big immortal cultivation families. Those who understand will understand that she can definitely be sold at a very good price.
Those big families all buy some beautiful women, after all, men have that kind of needs
If Leng Qingning heard their thoughts, she would definitely cut off those useless things of theirs.
Two of the three of them were at the late Nascent Soul stage, while the one who spoke first was at the early Out-of-Body stage. They searched almost the entire alleyway but were unable to find the woman with the striking appearance.
At this moment, Leng Qingning was standing in front of Lingyun Pavilion, a place similar to a cave for cultivating immortals. As long as you had enough spirit stones, you could practice, refine weapons, and make pills here.
She felt that she was vaguely touching the threshold of the out-of-body stage and was only half a step away from breaking through. This city was so chaotic, it would be better to choose a safe shelter, and here was the best.
Leng Qingning had no shortage of spirit stones, so she chose a room with plenty of spiritual energy and rented it for two months. There was also spiritual fire here for her to make pills. The shopkeeper was particularly polite to her and even gave her two extra days to practice.
She placed the jade token in the groove at the door. The whole house was protected by three high-level formations. Not even a fly could fly in. The three thousand top-grade spirit stones were indeed not spent in vain.
Although it is a bit painful, three thousand top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to three million ordinary spirit stones?
Leng Qingning decided to first refine Shengsheng Dan to assist in advancement, and then refine some Fuling Dan to restore spiritual energy, and Baichuang Dan to heal injuries.
These pills are not difficult to refine. The medicine cauldrons in this secret room are all medium-grade medicine cauldrons, which increase her pill success rate and double the previous output.
It seems that she has to find an opportunity to buy a good medicine cauldron.
After refining the elixir, Leng Qingning first set up a spirit gathering array around her body, then took out a mountain of spirit stones and piled them beside her, and also took out a bottle of spirit marrow.
She now has six spiritual roots, and the spiritual power consumed for advancement is far greater than that of an ordinary person, so it is better to be prepared.
[Host, just focus on your cultivation. I'll keep watch for you. If there's any sign of trouble, I'll definitely alert you!]
With the system helping her keep an eye on her surroundings, once everything was ready, she began to practice with peace of mind.
The tenants who practice Taoism here have discovered something strange in recent days: the spiritual energy here has suddenly become thinner, as if most of the spiritual energy has been drained away overnight.
Everyone complained to the shopkeeper, and some even asked him for an explanation.
The shopkeeper was also confused and complained bitterly. He had been searching for the source of the problem for several days but couldn't find it. This was really strange.
How could such good spiritual power suddenly disappear?
The shopkeeper didn't believe it and investigated everywhere.
The system saw that the shopkeeper was taking people around to investigate again. Just like he helped Leng Qingning hide before, the shopkeeper and his group returned empty-handed again.
The system looked at Leng Qingning with some fatigue. All the spiritual power of the entire Lingyun Pavilion turned into sticky mist and poured into Leng Qingning's body. Only one third of the spiritual stones piled up like a hill around her remained. The spiritual power she consumed was like a bottomless pit.
Alas, all this is thanks to it.
Two months passed quickly. When Leng Qingning opened her eyes, she found piles of spirit stone fragments and a whole bottle of spirit marrow that had been used up around her.
Wow!
Her consumption of spirit stones is truly astonishing.
Leng Qingning stood up and stretched her muscles. Seeing the initial out-of-body cultivation being released from her body, she was extremely satisfied. Fortunately, she had found such a good place with abundant spiritual energy, otherwise her spirit stones would have been wasted.
With only two days left as given by the shopkeeper, Leng Qingning continued to study the Soul-Snatching Needle. She found that this technique was really practical. It could catch people off guard and was the best weapon for sneak attacks.
After two days of continuous practice, she can now shoot out three soul-sucking needles at a time, and up to ten in a day. Her progress is extremely fast.
It's time to leave here.
[Host, I have good news for you. As you advance, I'll also unlock a new feature: Thousand Face Transformations. You won't need to buy those disguise tools anymore. Even a powerful god-transformation expert won't be able to see through my disguise!]
When Leng Qingning heard this, she immediately became alert. This was really a great function for causing trouble.
Hehe~
She really likes this attractive feature.
[By the way, host, I have something else to tell you. The noise you made when you leveled up these past few days was so loud that it almost drained the entire mansion of spiritual energy. These days, the shopkeeper has been bringing his men to investigate everywhere every day.]
When Leng Qingning heard this, she guessed that it must be the system that helped her disguise herself, so she was not exposed. This person was indeed much more considerate than the previous one.
"Thank you, everyone. If you hadn't taken action, I, the host, would have been exposed."
[Hehe~ This is what people should do]
The little ball in the system space twisted its tail shyly.
She patted her sleeves and prepared to leave. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the shopkeeper leading a large group of people to search everywhere. He kept whispering, "This is strange. Where is it? Why can't we find it?"
"Sir, are you leaving now?" The shopkeeper's face instantly lit up with a smile when he saw her. She was his big customer, so naturally he had to be careful to please her.
What would the shopkeeper think if he knew that she was the one who caused all this?
Leng Qingning looked at him with some sympathy, and the shopkeeper felt uncomfortable with her gaze.
"By the way, shopkeeper, do you sell medicine cauldrons here?"
"Medicine cauldron? Sir, are you talking about the alchemy furnace?"
Leng Qingning nodded and said, "That's right."
The shopkeeper looked at her with even more respect. This customer came in to buy an alchemy furnace. Either he was an alchemist himself, or he must be giving it to someone as a gift.
Alchemist is the most respected profession in their Shenzhou Continent.
The shopkeeper brought her to a secret room where more than a dozen alchemy furnaces of different sizes were neatly arranged.
Seeing Leng Qingning's surprised expression, the shopkeeper explained, "Sir, these are all the alchemy furnaces in Lingyun Pavilion. However, as you know, due to the interruption of inheritance in Shenzhou Continent, alchemists are particularly scarce, so they are not easy to sell."
[Host, choose the fourth one from the far right. It contains a strange fire seed!]
Leng Qingning concealed her excitement, inquired about the price, and then chose the alchemy furnace that the system pointed to.
"You have really good eyesight, customer. Don't be fooled by the simple shape of this alchemy furnace. It is..." The shopkeeper boasted to her.
