"You little rascal..."
Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly, then, after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but ask:
Since you're unwilling to give it, then forget it.
However, I notice that your Taoist robe is somewhat unusual; it's unlike any I've seen before. Could you explain why?
"There's nothing special about this Taoist robe of mine. It's just that I used a special technique to engrave some artifact patterns, which gave it a touch of spirituality, making it warm in winter and cool in summer."
These robes are plentiful in our southeastern prefecture.
"If you like it, brother, I can give you seven or eight sets when we get to Southeast Prefecture."
Zhao Zichuan quickly replied.
"No need, you can keep it yourself."
Lin Xiaofei shook his head and said, "
You just mentioned Southeast Prefecture, which reminds me of my journey to Shifeng Prefecture. Are you familiar with Shifeng Prefecture?
"Of course I'm familiar with it!"
Although my family is in the Southeast County, a collateral branch of my Zhao family lives in the Shifeng County.
This time, I accompanied my elder brother Zhao Zixian and stayed in the branch of my Zhao family for three months, during which I toured all of Shifeng County.
If we were to travel from here to Shifeng County, it would probably take about fifteen days.
Zhao Zichuan paused for a moment, then continued:
I also went back to the collateral branch of the Zhao family to find my eldest brother, otherwise he would definitely be worried.
If Brother Lin is willing to travel with me, I'd be happy to show you the way.
“If you lead the way, how long will it take? Just tell me the most direct route to Shifeng County, and I won’t have to take any detours myself.”
After glancing at Zhao Zichuan's injured leg, Lin Xiaofei spoke directly.
He felt that Zhao Zichuan was a child whose mind was not yet mature. If Zhao Zichuan were to lead the way, who knew what kind of trouble might occur along the way.
"Brother Lin, let's go together. Don't leave me alone."
Here's what we'll do: if you take me back to Shifeng County, I will definitely reward you handsomely. The main thing is that I currently only have a magic weapon and a storage bag on me, nothing else.
Otherwise, I would have given you a very generous gift just now.
Zhao Zichuan quickly spoke up.
"Then tell me, what big gift are you planning to give me?"
Lin Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, then said casually.
“Brother Lin, I see that you are also a cultivator, so you probably wouldn’t be interested in ordinary things. I don’t know what you like.”
"How about you make a request, as long as it's not excessive, or something you want? Once the Zhao family's collateral branch is established, I'll instruct the head of the family to give you what you desire. What do you say?"
Zhao Zichuan said softly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled. If Zhao Zichuan could command a family head, it was clear that the other party's identity was extraordinary.
However, there are two things he wants most right now.
One is a cultivation method for the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other is a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, both of these are extremely precious items, and he is well aware of this.
You should know that within the Canyon County, apart from the incomplete Foundation Establishment method he obtained from the old man Jianghe, he had never heard of anyone else possessing a Foundation Establishment method.
Moreover, when Elder Jiang was preparing to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he only prepared one Breakthrough Pill, which shows how difficult it is to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
At that moment, he remembered that he possessed the formula for the Breakthrough Pill.
If he has the corresponding spiritual herbs for the Breakthrough Pill, he can refine it himself. If he can't find the Foundation Establishment Pill, he can take the Breakthrough Pill to break through the bottleneck and maybe even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, to refine a Breakthrough Pill, one must at least become a high-level first-grade alchemist to have any chance of refining one.
Therefore, a considerable number of spiritual herbs of the five elements are needed.
“Spiritual herbs with the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are quite precious to a rogue cultivator like me. I wonder if Zhao Zichuan can produce them.”
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself silently.
Starting from Canyon County, we traversed the entire Wild Wave Mountain, hoping to find one or two spiritual herbs of the five elements. However, we couldn't find a single spiritual herb with any attribute.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaofei finally spoke:
If what you say is true, could you possibly produce any of the five elemental herbs?
For a moment, Zhao Zichuan was stunned.
Five Elements Spirit Herbs are relatively precious spiritual herbs, and cultivators who can use them are at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining or the Foundation Establishment stage.
Could Lin Xiaofei be someone above the ninth level of Qi Refining?
He guessed that even if he wasn't at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he was probably close.
This surprised Zhao Zichuan a little. After all, he was so young to be able to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was a remarkable talent. Could it be that Brother Lin was also like that?
After taking another look at Lin Xiaofei, he felt it was impossible, judging from the other party's words and clothing.
He believed that Lin Xiaofei was a cultivator from a small place who could cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining. He must have obtained a great opportunity when he started cultivating immortality. Otherwise, how could he have reached such a level?
Soon, Zhao Zichuan said seriously:
"As long as Brother Lin and I go to the Zhao family in Shifeng County together, I can deliver a Five Elements Spirit Herb."
"How can I believe empty words?"
Lin Xiaofei shrugged and said it casually.
The other party spoke too casually, which made him somewhat suspicious.
"I don't have any Five Elements Spirit Herbs, nor can I convince you."
After a pause, Zhao Zichuan continued, "
Here's what I'll do: I have a jade pendant specially made by the Zhao family. Even the head of a collateral branch of the Zhao family would have to take it seriously if he saw it. I'll pawn it with you.
"Once we reach the Zhao family in Shifeng County, if I can't give you a single Five Elements Spirit Herb, this Zhao Family Jade Pendant is enough for you to exchange for 20,000 low-grade spirit stones in various markets."
"Brother Lin, is this alright now?"
As he spoke, Zhao Zichuan took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in Lin Xiaofei's hand.
"Um?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled. The jade pendant in his hand was the size of an egg, with a layer of spiritual energy shimmering on its surface, and the character "Zhao" was engraved on it.
This jade pendant is made of special spiritual materials and has a low-level array engraved inside. It can weakly gather spiritual energy from the air, and wearing it for a long time can help with one's cultivation level.
He immediately realized that Zhao Zichuan was very likely telling the truth.
This led him to suspect that the other party's family must be extraordinary.
After admiring the Zhao family jade pendant for a moment, Lin Xiaofei unceremoniously put it into his storage bag and said with a smile, "
Since Brother Zichuan is so sincere, let's head to Shifeng County together.
He guessed that the other party's background was likely that of a cultivation family. Since they were willing to give him a Five Elements Spirit Herb, it shouldn't be too difficult for them.
Once he obtains a Five Elements Spirit Herb, he plans to plant it in his spatial bead and propagate it in large quantities, since it is an essential spirit herb for refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
And so, in a forest, the two hurried along, chatting as they went, with a cat-like creature following them.
