However, this is what I rely on myself, and the foundation I cultivate is not bad!
It's a bit expensive though!
This battle used at least fifty top-tier talismans, which cost nearly 100,000 spirit stones...
There was nothing that could be done; since there was a fundamental difference, they could only rely on external means.
"However, this is only a small amount. These top-tier talismans are my most relied-upon and powerful means of combat. This trip depends entirely on these top-tier talismans, and now nearly one-sixth of them are gone."
Lin Xiuyuan sighed and shook his head helplessly. However, there was a fundamental gap between him and these sect cultivators. Only top-tier talismans could make up for the gap, so he could only try to use them as little as possible.
However, how can the struggle for opportunities be complete without a battle of wits?
"Hopefully, I'll have a good harvest. Now that I have a top-tier spirit sword to replace it, along with the White Feather Needle, unless I encounter those genius cultivators from the Five Elements Sect again, I won't need to use top-tier talismans against other cultivators. The plenty of mid-to-high-tier talismans I have prepared are enough."
Lin Xiuyuan took out three storage bags and eagerly probed them with his divine sense.
Before long, Lin Xiuyuan showed a hint of joy. These two genius cultivators from the Five Elements Sect were indeed very wealthy.
Leaving aside their respective spirit swords and spirit shields, the various pills, rare and precious materials, and spirit stones they possessed amounted to fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones.
In addition, they acquired three top-tier spirit swords and two top-tier spirit shields! The former costs around 20,000 spirit stones each, while the latter costs over 50,000 to 60,000.
Such a top-tier protective item is even more expensive than a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
The total harvest amounted to nearly 200,000 spirit stones, a huge profit!
"No wonder they say that since ancient times, robbery and plunder have been shortcuts to wealth. It's true that murder and arson bring riches!"
Lin Xiuyuan's depressed mood improved somewhat.
"Yes, I can use these few bottles of pills. They are all high-grade cultivation pills with few impurities. Truly worthy of being cultivators of the Five Elements Sect,"
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Xiuyuan produced several bottles of pills, which made him even happier.
These high-grade cultivation pills for the Qi Refining stage are extremely rare in the outside world. In Lin'nan County, Lin Xiuyuan had only encountered two bottles in several years.
But they managed to get five bottles from Huang Geng and Zhang Hongwen's storage bags!
Qiu Heng was a bit poor; besides a top-tier spirit sword, he only had a high-tier spirit shield... and his other cultivation resources were less than half of what Huang Geng and the other two had.
This alone reveals the difference in the two sects' resources. It's no wonder that the Five Elements Sect is a top-tier power that governs a country; their wealth is truly immense!
This is normal. After all, a top-tier spirit shield costs at least 50,000 spirit stones. How could a Qi Refining stage cultivator be so rich? That amount could buy a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even cultivators from powerful sects cannot easily purchase it.
Most Foundation Establishment stage cultivators still use top-tier spirit shields.
Only cultivators from top-tier forces like the Five Elements Sect can equip themselves with top-tier spirit shields so easily!
It's estimated that they were also sent to explore the secret realm, which is why they were equipped with top-tier spirit shields.
Among independent cultivators, it's extremely rare to find one like it, perhaps only one in a hundred. Lin Xiuyuan possessed the profound mystery of purple talismans, and even with such a high success rate in talisman making, it took him nearly a year to craft just one.
This is why it's good to rest in the shade of a big tree!
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.
Immediately afterwards, a look of surprise flashed across Lin Xiuyuan's face, and then he found another item in the Qiankun bag, which made a look of joy on his face.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the jade slip in his hand, probed it with his divine sense, and then smiled with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, the information sold in the camp is all general information, while these Five Elements Sect cultivators have more detailed information."
The jade slips purchased at the camp only contained basic information about the outer areas of secret realms, such as the outer areas of the Black Forest and canyon passages. This information had already been thoroughly searched, so having it only provided a little more information and was not of much help.
However, the jade slip found in Huang Geng and Zhang Hongwen's Qiankun bags contains more detailed information about the secret place, including the central area and the core of the secret place.
The location of some opportunities is even clearly indicated.
As expected, a powerful force like the Five Elements Sect has a much better understanding of the secret realm.
This saved Lin Xiuyuan a lot of trouble, preventing him from searching aimlessly in the secret place like a headless fly.
"This fight was definitely worth it! All the talismans used were completely recouped, and we even made a huge profit!"
"Exactly, why does Chang Feng want to kill me?"
Upon realizing this, Lin Xiuyuan's expression darkened.
I really can't understand it. We once walked hand in hand, relied on each other, and fled to the southern border for nearly two years. We could be said to have gone through life and death together, right?
"Is it because of Qin Suwan?" Lin Xiuyuan recalled that this was the only thing that could be said. Chang Feng had been very attentive to Qin Suwan, which seemed to imply something more.
"If that's the case, then I think I've already lost seven or eight chances in the Upper Realm, so I might as well just eliminate them to save trouble and avoid them becoming obstacles."
"Regardless of the circumstances, I, Lin, will remember this. Since you disregard our past friendship, if I am fortunate enough to reach the Upper Realm in the future, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself as he took out all the resources from the three Qiankun bags. After finishing, he continued to heal his injuries and try to recover as quickly as possible.
