Lin Xiuyuan had already asked Jinyuan Pavilion, but Manager Chen stayed in the city year-round and didn't have many channels to obtain specific details about Baimang Mountain.
As for the Seven Blades Society, Lin Xiuyuan had also gone to inquire, but seeing that they were only a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, they were indifferent and unresponsive. If it weren't for Liao Yong's connection, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get in the door, so it would have been difficult to get any information.
After much deliberation, issuing a commission is the only remaining option.
Not long after.
Lin Xiuyuan then arrived at a bustling restaurant, Yuelai Restaurant.
The surrounding area was quite lively, unlike other residential areas in the right district, which were peaceful and quiet.
Most of the cultivators coming and going had a rugged and bold demeanor, and many of them even had a faint smell of blood on them. Some had a cold and sinister aura, while others were fierce and violent.
Moreover, most of them were cultivators in the middle to late stages of Qi Refining, and some he couldn't even see through, thinking they might be Qi Refining Perfection experts or even Foundation Establishment experts.
This area is almost entirely inhabited by sectarian cultivators.
The Yuelai Restaurant in front of them was their gathering place.
Lin Xiuyuan was quite familiar with this.
He has been here twice already.
They found some cultivators who were leaders of gangs or restaurant owners who posted bounties to find Liao Yong's whereabouts in Bai Mang Mountain.
Based on the round trip, it would take about half a month to bring the message back from Baimang Mountain.
But there has been no news since!
This gave Lin Xiuyuan a bad feeling, but until it became a reality, he could only try his best to find news about Liao Yong.
Hopefully, this time it will bring good news.
Today's earnings were quite good; the accumulated bounty has reached over eight hundred low-grade spirit stones, which should be enough to attract the attention of many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
These sects of cultivators usually go out into the wilderness in groups, watching out for and helping each other, and vying for opportunities.
When necessary, he might even transform into a cultivator of tribulation.
These small gangs are basically mercenary organizations, mostly working for money.
If only we could hire them to kill that Jin Hai Sect disciple, but unfortunately this is Beihefang City, and the Jin Hai Sect is like a god, so no one dares to attack or kill a Jin Hai Sect disciple!
Lin Xiuyuan went inside and went straight to the shopkeeper to continue posting commissioned tasks and accumulating rewards. He soon left the place and returned to his house.
Liao Cai'er had just finished cooking when she saw Lin Xiuyuan return. She forced a smile, but the worry and gloom in her eyes remained. She said, "How was it? Did everything go smoothly? Come on, let's eat."
Seeing Liao Cai'er's expression, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Since the martial law was declared in Beihefang City and the conscription was announced, everyone knows that the situation has begun to deteriorate and become tense.
Moreover, the source has been clearly identified as the opportunity at Bai Mang Mountain, and it seems that Liao Yong's destination also lies there...
All of this made it impossible for Liao Cai'er to feel good.
That smile was no longer the same... These days, she has spoken much less than usual, and her whole demeanor is somewhat gloomy. It is quite obvious that Liao Cai'er is in a very depressed mood.
But Lin Xiuyuan had no other choice. The only thing he could do was to find Liao Yong's whereabouts and hope that he could return safely!
At this moment, all I can do is talk to her as much as possible and try to distract her from her feelings of pleasure, hoping to alleviate her gloomy mood.
"Yes, everything went quite smoothly. The market was quite lively today. I saw someone bring back a fire python. It was huge, and it really was as rumored—fiery red all over, containing extremely strong fire elemental energy..."
Liao Cai'er listened quietly, her expression calm, though her delicate eyebrows remained slightly furrowed.
...
…………
With continuous accumulation, all the major intermediate-level talismans have guaranteed a stable success rate.
For example, the accumulated purple light of the Water Shield Talisman is quite intense, and it now has a success rate of 60% to 70%.
The proportion of items like the Fire Cloud Talisman is as high as 40-50%.
With a guaranteed success rate, Lin Xiuyuan significantly reduced his talisman-making time, only needing to produce one or two talismans per day. This allowed him to maintain ample time for cultivation.
The key is to elevate one's level of understanding!
Especially now that his family's wealth is sufficient to support relatively superior cultivation conditions, he naturally needs to focus more on cultivation.
Every day, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level made significant progress.
As expected, with the help of this Spirit Flower Ginseng and other elixirs such as Jade Spirit Pills,
By the end of the month, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth level, and he could break through at any time.
The Qi Refining stage has thirteen levels, which are divided into four minor realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stage.
Although there are many minor realms, the entire Qi Refining period is basically a process of accumulating magical power. Each time you break through a minor realm, you need to expand your dantian and increase the upper limit of your magical power. Then, you fill your dantian with magical power and advance to the next realm.
This will advance you to the tenth level of Qi Refining. Once your mana shows signs of becoming liquid, you can begin your attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, reaching the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage is considered the perfect state, but it is also known as the minor perfection.
Because the tenth level of Qi Refining is not the ultimate limit of Qi Refining.
Through the trials of the predecessors in the cultivation world and the unparalleled geniuses, it was discovered that if one's talent is high enough, one can skillfully control the continued condensation of magical power, or with the help of rare and precious materials, make the liquid form of magical power even more concentrated. In this way, when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, one can invisibly increase the success rate.
