Gu Xun'er led Lin Caogen on a tour from the second floor to the seventh floor. Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was dark.
Lin Caogen spent a total of 3 million Immortal Yuan Coins at the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce. Of the three spatial rings, he originally gave one to Fu Yunxuan, and now he sold another one at the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce.
Gu Xun'er smiled broadly and said, "I didn't expect you to spend so much money on your first visit. I've already applied for a membership card for you today! You can get a 10% discount at any Ziwei Chamber of Commerce store in the future."
Lin Caogen returned with a full load and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much. I will come again in the future."
Gu Xun'er smiled and said, "My business will need your help in the future! But I have a small question: are you going to become an alchemist?"
Lin Caogen asked doubtfully, "Why do you ask this?"
Gu Xun'er smiled slightly and said, "I see that almost all the materials you bought are of the five elements. Generally, only alchemists collect these materials to refine pills."
This statement reminded Lin Caogen that if he became an alchemist, he could openly collect materials with the five elements attributes.
Lin Caogen said, "Becoming an alchemist is extremely difficult. I only have this idea! This time, I also need to bring some materials with other attributes for my fellow disciples. At the same time, I also plan to try to see if I can become an alchemist."
Gu Xun'er said, "Great hero, you are clearly a person with lofty ambitions! You will surely be able to roam freely in Zhongzhou in the future! When that time comes, I will serve you in Zhongzhou!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "I hope so. It's getting late! Until we meet again."
Gu Xun'er smiled and nodded, saying, "Please be careful on your journey, hero. The Ziwei Merchant Guild receives hundreds or even thousands of guests every day, so please be cautious of any malicious individuals once you set out!"
Hearing Gu Xun'er's reminder, Lin Caogen felt a surge of gratitude. He also had a vague feeling that he was being watched while he was out shopping.
Slowly walking out of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce gate, they arrived at Wuwei Town.
As dusk fell, the streets became deserted.
Lin Caogen rode an ordinary celestial horse towards the Wuwu Sect. As he passed through the poplar forest, two masked men hid behind the poplar trees.
The two men were of different heights. The taller one was named Gao Shun, and the shorter one was named Wang Ying. Their cultivation levels were similar, both being cultivators at the 5th level of the Qi Condensation stage.
Gao Shun said to Wang Ying, "We've followed that man on horseback all the way. Judging from the direction he's heading, he's going to the Wuwu Sect. I'm afraid he's a master of the Wuwu Sect."
The short Wang Ying said, "He should be from the Wuwei Sect, but how did you determine that he is an expert? I can't sense even a trace of immortal energy fluctuations from him. I feel that he should not even be at the first level of the Body Refinement stage."
Gao Shun sneered, "Are you stupid? Everyone knows this road is dangerous. If someone isn't even at the first level of Body Refinement, would they dare buy so much stuff here? We secretly observed this person at the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce. He bought at least several million Immortal Yuan Coins worth of materials. He's a big spender!"
Wang Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Old Gao, do you think he might be an alchemist? I secretly observed him before and found that he only buys materials with the five elements attributes."
The expert nodded and said, "It's possible. This person is hiding his face with a bamboo hat, unwilling to show his true face, and he has purchased so many materials with the five elements attributes. He is most likely an alchemist. I've heard that alchemists are not good at immortal energy attacks, but they are good at true fire and mental energy attacks. This person has no immortal energy fluctuations, so he may not really be an alchemist. If he uses true fire in combination with mental energy, we may be burned to ashes or beaten into idiots."
Wang Ying said helplessly, "Are we just going to let him pass?"
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "It's not easy to find a big fish like this. Wouldn't it be a waste to let it go like this? You and I are both well-known bandits in this area. We've been doing heroic things that involve licking blood off the edge of a knife for years. We've long since disregarded life and death. Even if he's an alchemist, are we afraid of him?"
Wang Ying said, "Then what should we do? Go and find out what's going on with him?"
Gao Shun nodded and said, "I'll try with my hidden arrow. If he breaks it easily, we'll escape immediately. If he struggles to land, then our opportunity has arrived!"
Wang Ying chuckled and said, "Old Gao, you're the most reliable one. Just shoot his horse with the hidden arrow. If he can block the arrow with his mental power, we'll just run away."
Gao Shun nodded. He then raised his hand, took out a hidden dart, and shot it towards the horse Lin Caogen was riding.
Since Lin Caogen began practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, he has become sharp-witted and perceptive. He was on guard against anyone plotting against him along the way, so he was extra careful.
Sure enough, Lin Caogen, riding his horse, suddenly heard the sound of wind being cut. It was undoubtedly a hidden weapon.
However, the hidden weapon was extremely fast, and Lin Caogen's current strength was simply not enough to dodge it.
However, Lin Caogen did not activate the Black Gold Armor immediately, as he felt it was unnecessary. While shopping at the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, he bought a set of Golden Silk Soft Armor and put it on. Combined with his Golden Bell Shield and Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, it could barely withstand ordinary hidden weapon attacks.
The three hidden arrows did not strike Lin Caogen, but instead hit his mount directly.
With a neigh, Lin Caogen's Red Hare was pierced by three hidden arrows, leaving three bloody holes. It then collapsed and died with a mournful cry.
Lin Caogen fell off the horse, flipped himself onto the ground, and thankfully, the fall wasn't too ugly.
Gao Shun and Wang Ying looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wang Ying said, "This guy can't even protect his own horse. He seems like a fledgling."
Gao Shun nodded and said, "It's probably true! Old Wang! Let's do it! Our chance to make a fortune has arrived."
Wang Ying raised his single-edged sword and leaped directly in front of Lin Caogen.
Wang Ying chuckled and said, "Kid! So you're just a fledgling who's nothing! Leave your spatial ring behind, and I'll spare your life."
