At night, Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about what to do next and how to survive in this increasingly cruel path of cultivation.
Even though he has reached the Jindan realm now, he is still an ant in the vast starry sky, just a bigger ant.
After a whole night of thinking, Ling Tian had a rough idea. If he wanted to continue practicing without dying, in addition to improving his own strength, the most important thing was to find a towering tree to shelter him from the wind and rain. Undoubtedly, the three major sects of Zhao State were the best choice. However, his bone age was nearly a hundred years old, so it was impossible for him to enter through the selection of disciples.
As for a solution, there must be one. There is an old saying that money can make the devil work, and it can be applied anywhere. However, Ling Tian also knows that wealth should not be exposed, so everything needs to be considered carefully.
In the morning, just as Ling Tian opened the door, the hunchback was already guarding the door. Upon seeing Ling Tian come out, he stepped forward and greeted him respectfully, "Sir, did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah, it's pretty quiet."
Ling Tian knew that the hunchback's enthusiasm was due to the magic of money, but he was also wary of him. After all, he was unfamiliar with the world, and it would be troublesome if he was slaughtered like a pig.
"I want to buy some elixirs. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"If you want to buy spiritual medicine, the first choice is the Qiandan Pavilion of Danzong. It can be said that it is the best in the entire Zhao Kingdom and even in several neighboring countries."
"Well, lead the way."
The journey was quite long, so the camel driver called for a carriage. Although it was a carriage, there was no vibration at all when sitting in it, which was really magical.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside a five-story building. Looking at the three large, gold-plated characters "Qiandan Pavilion" on the doorway, he thought to himself, "What a boast."
"Sir, this is not a place I can enter. I will wait for you outside."
Ling Tian nodded and walked straight in, but after walking in, he found that he was a frog in the well. Although there were not as amazing as a thousand kinds of elixirs, more than half of them should be there, from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, there were so many things that Ling Tian was jealous.
The reason why Ling Tian came here was, firstly, to see the types and prices of elixirs here, and secondly, to buy a good medicine cauldron.
"Sir, what kind of elixir would you like to buy?" A fair-skinned woman in a light blue high-waisted cheongsam came over and asked respectfully.
Ling Tian looked back and saw that someone at the eighth level of Qi Refining was working as a waiter here. It was conceivable how powerful the Qiandanfang was.
"Is there an alchemy furnace?"
"Yes, sir, this way please."
The woman led Ling Tian to the staircase and said, "Sir, you can go directly up to the second floor from here."
Ling Tian understood, thanked him, and walked upstairs. At the exit of the corridor, a young woman with a fairy-like air was waiting. Seeing Ling Tian appear, she was slightly surprised by his Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but she quickly recovered and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, young master. I am Song Yulan, the person in charge of the second floor."
"Hello."
Looking at the beautiful woman in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Ling Tian understood what the Qi Condensation woman on the first floor had said. If that was the case, wouldn't the next level be the Core Formation stage? And above that, there were four or five more levels, Nascent Soul? Fusion?
Ling Tian shuddered involuntarily.
"Sir, please come this way."
Coming back to his senses, Ling Tian followed and stopped at a place that specialized in selling alchemy furnaces. Besides him, there was a man and a woman who were also choosing here. They looked a little too young and didn't seem to be very old, but Song Yulan looked at them with a hint of concern in her eyes.
Song Yulan ignored them and took Ling Tian to the other side to introduce him, "Young Master, this is a red copper furnace. Adding fire marrow crystals to it can increase the temperature of alchemy and speed up the extraction of spiritual medicine..."
Ling Tian was actually not very satisfied after seven or eight alchemy furnaces were introduced in a row. These were only used in the Foundation Establishment Stage and were of little use to him.
"Miss Song, do you have a Dan furnace for the Jindan stage?"
"Danjie?"
Song Yulan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Ling Tian again. After a slight hesitation, she said, "Mr. Ling, please follow me."
Song Yulan brought Ling Tian to a VIP room on the second floor. Without mentioning the alchemy furnace, she poured Ling Tian a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Young Master Ling, please try the spiritual tea we cultivated first. It's quite good. I'll be out for a moment."
Although Ling Tian had some doubts, he was not timid. He drank the spiritual tea by himself. Unexpectedly, it gave him a huge surprise.
"This tea is not simple. It can actually eliminate the hidden diseases accumulated through cultivation."
Just as he was admiring the spiritual tea, Song Yulan came back, but in front of her there was a ruddy-faced, white-haired old man.
Ling Tian frowned and felt carefully, faintly sensing a trace of this person's aura in the late Jindan stage, but he couldn't tell whether it was in the late stage or the great perfection stage.
"Mr. Ling, this is Hu Tao, the Peak Master of our Dan Sect's Spiritual Medicine Peak, and also the head of the Thousand Pill Pavilion."
"Master Hu Feng!"
Ling Tian shouted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Friend Ling, I heard from Alan that you want to purchase a Dan furnace for the Jindan stage?"
"Yes, I wonder if the Peak Master has it here?"
"It's indeed a new one. Before we trade, I'd like to ask, is this for you or are you buying it for someone else?"
“Are there any restrictions on this purchase?”
"Little friend Ling, you misunderstood. I'm just curious. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to answer, hehe."
"This is the one I use. My master wouldn't even consider this kind of furnace."
Ling Tian thought for a moment and decided that adding an imaginary master to himself might be beneficial.
Hu Tao glanced at the calm Ling Tian and believed his words a little, because he felt that Ling Tian's soul power was unusually strong, and the strength of the soul could be said to be the only criterion for the level of achievement of an alchemist.
Although Ling Tian has not reached the Jindan stage, his powerful soul ability makes it possible for him to refine pills for the Jindan stage. Hu Tao has witnessed this.
"I wonder how much that witch has grown now."
When Hu Feng regained consciousness, the way he looked at Ling Tian changed. He then shouted to Song Yulan, "Alan, go get that Luanfeng Ding."
"Luanfeng Ding?"
Song Yulan was deeply shocked. This was the treasure of their Qiandan Pavilion. Besides, how could Ling Tian afford it? However, as a disciple, she only had to follow the orders of the leader.
As soon as she left, Hu Tao started chatting with Ling Tian. His purpose was of course to get some information about Ling Tian, but Ling Tian's tight-lipped nature made him very depressed.
"Friend Ling, you just said you haven't joined a sect yet. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Dan Sect?"
"Joining the Dan Sect?" Ling Tian pretended to be confused, but inside he was ecstatic. Isn't this what he wanted? After thinking for a moment, he tactfully replied, "Master Hu Feng, give me some time to think about it. I'll get back to you later."
