When enemies meet, there's no need for many words.
Seeing the Soul-Devouring Blood Banner approaching menacingly, Lu Xuan activated the Xuan Yuan Shield he had already refined, erecting a thick, earthen-yellow light barrier that protected him inside.
"Bang bang bang"
"A low-grade defensive magic weapon?"
"Consider yourself lucky, but the next time my Soul Devouring Banner is fully completed and upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon, that will be your death day."
Xu Yifan was a seasoned veteran, very decisive. Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Lu Xuan for the time being, and worried that other righteous cultivators in the market might pass by and kill him, he could only leave with harsh words and a sheepish departure.
Lu Xuan had no offensive magic weapon, only a low-grade talisman for self-preservation, so he was naturally helpless against his opponent.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy," so Lu Xuan didn't give chase. Besides, Xu Yifan's master was a notorious evil cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and Lu Xuan didn't want to provoke the evil monk unless absolutely necessary.
After seeing that the evil cultivator Xu Yifan had indeed left, Lu Xuan activated the restriction token, opened the cave, and slipped inside. Then the cave door closed.
Even a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining couldn't break through it.
"No, we must deal with Xu Yifan as soon as possible. There's no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days."
That wicked monk has so many disciples; he might not care about Xu Yifan. We just need to lure him to the Yunmeng Mountains…
Lu Xuan muttered to himself a few times, deciding that after he finished refining the flying sword magic weapon, he would join the Loose Cultivator Alliance of Red Leaf Market. Since the Loose Cultivator Alliance had the late-stage Qi Refining Master Hanxin in charge, he could cultivate in peace, take on missions, accumulate spirit stones, and buy the cultivation techniques and pills needed for later cultivation.
Time flies when you start cultivating yourself.
Another month has passed.
That day, Lu Xuan stepped out of his cave, and found three more mature spiritual herbs in his hidden pocket.
However, this time it was replaced with the more valuable [Purple Cloud Grass], which is worth about seven or eight spirit stones on the market.
Lu Xuan had also considered cultivating higher-level spiritual herbs in the bronze cauldron, but it was clear that the bronze cauldron was currently only used to cultivate low-level spiritual herbs.
Lu Xuan currently has no way to enhance the spiritual power of the bronze cauldron.
Lu Xuan guessed that this treasure cauldron usually automatically absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish its spiritual power and generate black soil.
Perhaps in the future we can try throwing spiritual stones or other spiritual objects into the bronze cauldron.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan doesn't have a single spirit stone left.
A moment later, Lu Xuan arrived at the market, changed to another medicine shop, sold the Purple Cloud Grass he had for thirty spirit stones, and then went to the Qiankun Refining Pavilion a few streets away.
That's right, his purpose in coming out of seclusion this time was to refine a flying sword magic weapon. Among all kinds of offensive magic weapons, the flying sword magic weapon is the most powerful. Once it is used, it is swift and unpredictable, which is suitable for Lu Xuan's current situation.
It's worth mentioning that something seems to have happened in the cultivation world recently, with even the price of low-grade spiritual herbs rising significantly, which is quite a rare occurrence.
Could it be? Lu Xuan thought of something bad, but it was too early to draw conclusions.
After entering the Qiankun Refining Pavilion.
Lu Xuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, taking out a small piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold iron from the broken flying sword artifact and asking how many spirit stones he would need to forge a flying sword artifact.
Upon hearing this, the old craftsman from the Qiankun Refining Pavilion's eyes lit up instantly, and he exclaimed with delight:
"Is this ten-thousand-year-old cold iron suitable for forging top-grade magic weapons? Not bad, it actually weighs three to five ounces. It's more than enough to forge a fine flying sword magic weapon with this ten-thousand-year-old cold iron."
"However, I don't want any reward. I only hope that you, fellow Daoist, can give me the remaining small portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Iron to refine the superior-grade magic weapon, the Primordial Qi Hammer, which I have long wanted to forge."
It turned out that this old man who crafted the weapon was actually a high-grade magic weapon craftsman. He had long planned to forge a high-grade magic weapon hammer, but he lacked a key material: this ten-thousand-year-old cold iron, which could withstand temperatures of ten thousand degrees Celsius.
"Only half an ounce is needed. How about you use the rest to refine flying swords and magical artifacts, fellow Daoist? Then, I can add a little bit of Taiyi Gold Crystal that I have treasured for many years to enhance the speed and power of these flying swords and magical artifacts, how about that?"
"Taiyi Golden Crystal, a golden crystal on par with Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron? These are materials that can be used to refine top-grade magic weapons. Of course, you can. Then I'll have to trouble you to help, Senior!" Lu Xuan was overjoyed, but his expression remained calm.
"Alright, I will definitely do my best. To be honest, without you, fellow Daoist, I might never have been able to obtain this ten-thousand-year-old cold iron in my lifetime. I have to thank you, young friend." Although the old man who was a Qi Refining Level 5 senior, he spoke in a very amiable manner and showed no signs of bullying the weak or fearing the strong.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan made an agreement with the other party to come and collect the item in half a month! Then they drew up a spiritual contract. If either party went back on their word, they would no longer be able to stand among the righteous cultivators. With the old man's vast wealth and vision, he shouldn't be so greedy as to embezzle his magic weapon and thus ruin his reputation.
With this in mind, Lu Xuan felt relieved.
He then left the Qiankun Refining Pavilion.
A moment later, he arrived at the Loose Cultivator Alliance in Red Leaf Valley Market. He decided to join the Loose Cultivator Alliance in Red Leaf Valley Market while he was there.
Soon after Lu Xuan revealed his intentions, he met Han Xin Shangren, one of the legendary three masters.
"Since you wish to join our Loose Cultivator Alliance, I am naturally more than happy to oblige."
Lu Xuan had long heard that this Cold Heart Immortal was over eighty years old, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his cultivation was even higher than that evil monk. He had an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Thank you, senior." After receiving the unique identity token of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Lu Xuan also received a brand new Daoist robe.
As for elixirs, spirit stones, and the like, he'll have to earn them by taking on quests himself.
