It turns out that this girl, Qian Xixi, has no spiritual root and is unable to cultivate.
I can only be an ordinary person.
Lu Xuan only learned of Qian Xixi's existence by finding a letter in Qian Mazi's broken storage bag.
Before heading to Evil Dragon Island, Qian Mazi left a letter.
Let the survivor take care of his daughter.
But Lu Xuan didn't have time for that. He simply threw a few dozen taels of silver at her and told her to open a mortal shop and support herself.
After doing all this, Lu Xuan went directly to the market on Wanxuan Island.
After arriving at a large shop that buys all kinds of materials for cultivating immortality.
Lu Xuan released the aura of his pseudo-core realm.
"A distinguished guest has arrived! Waiter, go and greet him. Don't neglect this Foundation Establishment stage senior!"
A waiter at the fifth level of Qi Refining quickly came over and brought Lu Xuan a pot of spiritual tea, which exuded an extremely rich spiritual fragrance.
"Wow, top-grade spiritual tea, shopkeeper, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Lu Xuan joked.
"Hey, what are you saying, senior? A Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage like yourself is a rare expert even on our Myriad Profound Island!"
Apart from a few Core Formation cultivators from the Wanxuan Sect and one or two Core Formation rogue cultivators on the island!
"You are already a first-rate master of immortal cultivation! We would be more than honored to have you grace our humble shop with your presence!"
"Small shop?"
"Your cultivation shop looks quite large. It's not something a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining like you can open!"
"Tell me, who's your backer? Is it the island's overlord, the Myriad Mysteries Sect?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and then said:
"What the senior said is right. Our shop does have a backer. He is a rogue cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Stage on our Wanxuan Island!"
"A pseudo-core cultivator?"
"Do you have any rare and precious materials here that can help cultivators break through to the Core Formation stage? Perhaps some rare spiritual herbs that are useful for Core Formation would also be helpful!"
"So you've already reached the Pseudo-Core Formation realm, senior! I was truly disrespectful just now!"
"Please wait a moment, senior. I will bring the true owner of our shop to speak with you."
"Because what you just mentioned is too precious for me to even come into contact with."
"Okay, go ahead." Lu Xuan picked up the fine spiritual tea on the table and drank it.
He is not afraid of being poisoned.
Because his magical power was incredibly profound, comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation, ordinary poisons from the cultivation world were completely ineffective against him.
There aren't many poisons in the world that could kill him; most of them have been lost to history.
About the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea has passed.
Lu Xuan had already drunk half a pot of tea and a few delicious spiritual fruits.
At this moment, an elderly man with black hair, wearing a gray robe with gold thread, walked in:
"Are you the distinguished guest at the Pseudo-Core Stage that Xiao Qi just mentioned?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan looked at the other person and cupped his hands in greeting.
The other party was indeed a pseudo-core stage cultivator like him.
The black-haired old man appeared very polite and introduced himself after meeting Lu Xuan:
"I am Qi Wentian, a native cultivator of Wanxuan Island, and like you, I am at the Pseudo-Core stage."
"I don't know your name, fellow Daoist. If I have been negligent in any way, please forgive me."
"No problem."
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My name is Lu Xuan! I come from the distant seas and am new to Wanxuan Island. I hope you will give me some guidance!"
After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Xuan got straight to the point:
"Do you have the treasure I just mentioned here, my friend?"
Upon hearing this, the old man Qi Wentian laughed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Lu is joking. I've been stuck at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage for decades, almost a hundred years now, and I haven't found many treasures to aid in Core Formation! I do have a spare Core Formation Powder that I can sell, but the price..."
"Golden Core Powder?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Lu Xuan immediately lost interest.
As long as the spiritual herbs in his treasure cauldron space mature, Lu Xuan can refine many Core Formation Powders himself!
However, Lu Xuan still pretended to ask about the price:
"How much does it cost?"
"Five thousand!" the old man gestured.
"A mid-grade spirit stone?"
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Lu, it's a mid-grade spirit stone. Actually, once we cultivators reach the Pseudo-Core stage or above, we mostly trade with mid-grade spirit stones."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you must have only recently broken through to the Pseudo-Core stage, so it's understandable that you wouldn't know this."
"Hmm. Fellow Daoist Qi, you guessed correctly. I haven't been in the Pseudo-Core stage for long, so I'm not really familiar with these things."
"Five thousand mid-grade spirit stones are too much. Let's talk about it when I have enough spirit stones in the future!"
"It's alright. Fellow Daoist Lu, you look so young, you'll have plenty of time to earn spirit stones in the future. A mere Core Formation Powder is just a matter of time."
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Qi."
Finally, Qi Wentian, the old fake Core Formation cultivator, gave Lu Xuan a piece of advice:
"If you wish to collect any precious spiritual items, you can attend our Wanxuan Island's monthly underground trade fair!"
"A trade fair? Alright, thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Qi. I'll take my leave now and visit you again in the future."
After Lu Xuan left.
The old man summoned Xiao Qi, the shopkeeper, and secretly plotted with him:
"What's this person's background? Does he have any powerful connections? What's his wealth like...?"
"Reporting to the Ancestor, I cannot discern anything at the moment, but since this person is searching for those extremely precious spiritual items, he must possess a considerable amount of spirit stones or treasures..."
At this moment, Lu Xuan had arrived at a restaurant where rogue cultivators gathered.
They ordered several jugs of ordinary spirit wine and several plates of delicious dried monster meat.
Lu Xuan drank with great interest.
