Lin Xiuyuan stayed in the inn, recovering from his injuries while making talismans. Occasionally, he would enjoy spiritual meals at the inn and casually inquire about information.
It must be said that even though this is just an ordinary inn, the presence of a spiritual chef makes it a real pleasure to occasionally step out of one's cultivation state and come to enjoy the food, achieving the purpose of relaxation and a peaceful state of mind.
Naturally, spiritual meals are much more expensive, easily costing several hundred spirit stones per meal, and that's for the very ordinary kind. To get spiritual meals that are useful for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the price increases tenfold.
It can be said that as long as you have spirit stones, you can cultivate in this city of immortals with great comfort. Some high-end inns are built on branches of spiritual veins, not to mention that there are cultivation caves for rent in the city, as well as a large amount of spiritual resources in circulation. Pills, spiritual herbs and the like are not lacking at all.
However, this was not a problem for Lin Xiuyuan. His pockets were originally a bit empty, but after killing four Foundation Establishment cultivators in Liang Kingdom and on his escape route, and taking their Qiankun bags, he immediately became rich again.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Xiuyuan naturally possessed a considerable amount of wealth in his Qiankun Bag. Coupled with his magical artifacts, each Qiankun Bag brought him an average of 100,000 to 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Most of them are cultivators from sects, possessing two magical artifacts: a magic sword worth tens of thousands and a magic shield worth nearly one hundred thousand spirit stones!
It's a pity, though, that they're all low-grade magic shields. That's normal, though, as low-grade magic shields are most effective for early-stage cultivators.
At the mid-grade level, some are beyond the realm. Although they can still be used, they cannot be fully utilized. In comparison, the mid-grade magic shield is at most slightly better, but it does not bring much advantage in battle.
Therefore, unless one comes from a prominent family, they generally wouldn't spend half the price to buy a magic weapon that is one grade higher. It was only because Lin Xiuyuan's family was relatively wealthy that he made that choice.
However, the Black Gold Shield was almost useless at the moment, so he sold it at a discount to some weapon-refining shops, only to recoup less than 60,000 spirit stones. He then selected a low-grade magic shield from the spoils for his own use and sold the rest.
However, most of the spirit stones they collected were kept for future cultivation in a sect. Once they were settled, they would consider using them for cultivation needs and to arm themselves.
The Qiankun bags belonging to the two heroes of Bianshan didn't contain anything particularly valuable, but the combined wealth of a group of Qi Refining cultivators was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Thus, whenever he occasionally left the pass, he would sell all the spoils of war he had, which quickly made Lin Xiuyuan's wealth rich again. In total, Lin Xiuyuan had nearly 800,000 spirit stones.
This allowed him to obtain a relatively comfortable cultivation environment in Quanyang County, where he could continuously use various healing pills.
This provided a relatively good breeding environment for the Yin Spirit White Bird and the Blue Illusion Butterfly. The reason it wasn't the best is because both of these spirit beasts are big consumers of spirit stones. Even with the best breeding conditions, Lin Xiuyuan's limited amount of spirit stones wouldn't be enough. Besides, he wasn't a beast tamer, so he couldn't possibly spend all his spirit stones on that.
Even so, they are spending tens of thousands of spirit stones every month, which is destined to not last long.
Lin Xiuyuan only intended to temporarily increase the cultivation resources. He happened to be in Quanyang County, a place rich in resources, and he had enough spirit stones. He could slightly speed up the cultivation of these two spirit beasts and accelerate their growth period.
After a while, the speed will have to be reduced again. Only when the cultivation environment is completely stable can a stable nurturing plan be found, and nurtured slowly, just like the cultivation of immortals. It cannot be rushed. The growth of spirit beasts is inherently slow, and now it is only being accelerated slightly by smashing spirit stones.
It can be said that all the spirit beasts that make it onto the list of extraordinary beasts are extremely powerful, but the resources they consume to grow are also enormous.
Only a top-100 demon beast like Huo Yun, with ancient bloodlines, has great potential for growth and a faster cultivation pace, making things easier. But naturally, if spirit stones were poured into it, Huo Yun's growth would be even faster.
However, with the Demon Purification Bottle assisting Huo Yun's cultivation, Lin Xiuyuan has saved spirit stones. Otherwise, cultivating three kinds of spirit beasts at the same time would definitely be too much for him.
However, Huo Yun is now facing a breakthrough. Next, she needs to purchase the necessary spiritual items to assist her. Just like a cultivator preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the better spiritual items cost around 100,000 spirit stones, while the ordinary ones cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Lin Xiuyuan calculated that although he seemed to have become wealthy, his wealth was actually somewhat unreliable.
However, there are three spirit beasts that need to be nurtured, so there's nothing that can be done about it. Right now, he doesn't need many resources for cultivation, but after he begins cultivating the Foundation Establishment method, it's likely...
Time passed quickly. Due to the severity of his injuries, it took almost a year and a large amount of healing pills for him to gradually recover. If it weren't for the support of spirit stones, it would have taken several years to recover from such severe injuries.
However, after recovering from his injuries, Lin Xiuyuan did not leave Quanyang County for a while because he had not yet found the items needed for Huo Yun's breakthrough.
Foundation Establishment Pills are only available at suitable auctions, and spirit beasts seeking to break through to Foundation Establishment are even rarer.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Xiuyuan traveled to various merchant guilds, spending spirit stones to find channels and getting to know many shopkeepers. He stayed in Quanyan County for nearly a year before finally managing to purchase all the necessary items at a Foundation Establishment trade fair, spending nearly 200,000 spirit stones to assist Huo Yun in her breakthrough.
During this time, he also found a foundation-building technique for talisman masters, complete with secret talismans. It was the most suitable foundation-building technique he had seen so far. However, both the technique and the talismans lacked power. Therefore, after much deliberation, Lin Xiuyuan decided not to buy it. He would make a decision later when he went to the sect to cultivate the true methods.
