"It is indeed difficult for us independent cultivators to break through to higher realms. Precisely because it is difficult, we should unite even more."
This time, Elder Jiang is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and I've decided to support him.
However, I think it would be best if Elder Jiang gave us a portion of the spirit stones he promised in advance, so that we would feel more at ease.
Su Hongyan, dressed in a long blue robe, suddenly spoke.
"Since Fellow Daoist Su wants to gain benefits in advance, it's not impossible."
Here's what I'll do: the day before I'm about to break through my cultivation level, as long as you arrive at my Red Tea Manor, I'll give you two ounces of Golden Spirit Tea and one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
If my enemy comes looking for me when I break through to a higher realm, as long as you defeat him, I will give you an extra 500 spirit stones on top of the original amount after I break through.
Of course, if I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you would be willing to follow me and kill that enemy.
"Then, I can forgo the treasure on my enemy; you can divide it among yourselves, how about that?"
Jiang He smiled slightly and quickly spoke.
Su Hongyan nodded in agreement.
Now, Jiang He is willing to pay part of the compensation in advance, and has even promised some additional benefits on top of the original amount, which is an extremely high reward.
Now, if anyone were to make such a request, it would seem far too greedy.
Count me in.
Wang Qingliang's eyes flickered, and he quickly spoke up.
"Me too."
"Red Tea Manor is a nice place, I'd like to visit it too."
"Haha, Mr. Jiang is offering us such a generous reward, it sounds tempting, I want to go too."
Suddenly, Zhu Dali, Hong Tongzi, Zhou Chengwu, and others all spoke with smiles on their faces.
Three people remained silent. The old man Jianghe looked at them and then fixed his gaze on Lin Xiaofei, awaiting their reply.
"I'll be busy refining a large number of talismans for the Gong family, a family of cultivators, so I won't be able to go to the Red Tea Manor."
Xu Xingwang said calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, but Red Boy, with an icy expression, asked:
"Old Xu, when did you manage to get on the good side of the Gong family?"
Xu Xingwang smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:
"I can't possibly be of any use to the Gong family; they only invited me with spirit stones to refine some talismans."
Although Xu Xingwang spoke lightly, everyone's eyes revealed a look of envy.
Everyone present knew that even Elder Jianghe, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, had no dealings with the Gong family.
Now, Xu Xingwang has become involved with the Gong family, which elevates his status above Jiang He's.
"I'll join in the fun and go to the Red Tea Manor too."
After thinking it over, Lin Xiaofei agreed to Jiang He's request.
Since no one else is afraid of the enemies Jiang He mentioned, he has even less reason to be afraid. If things turn bad, he can simply hide inside the spatial bead.
Moreover, the generous reward offered by Jiang He also tempted him.
If he could obtain a large number of spirit stones from the other party, he could frequently visit the black market, where someone might be selling Qi Refining techniques, allowing him to purchase immortal techniques with spirit stones.
"Very good. All fellow Daoists who are willing to support me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future."
Seven days from now is the time I plan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, you can come directly to the Red Tea Manor.”
As he spoke, the old man's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"In addition, my plan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is currently only known to you."
"I hope that after you leave this bamboo hut, you will not spread this matter before I finish my breakthrough. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang He's gaze turned cold, and an astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from his body, instantly pressing down on everyone. Instantly, that spiritual pressure dissipated.
The old man Jianghe, who possessed the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, exuded a spiritual pressure aura, serving as a reminder to everyone.
"Just a wisp of spiritual pressure made my heart pound. Is this the terrifying aura of a peak Qi Refining ninth level cultivator?"
With my current cultivation level, if I were to fight Elder Jiang, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.
In an instant, Lin Xiaofei was startled, as if he were facing a terrifying beast, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"It seems I need to hurry up and improve my strength. Without a method to cultivate Qi, I should try to raise my strength to the level of a first-class master."
Only in this way can one possibly contend with a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Xiaofei made a mental assessment.
Immediately afterwards, he felt that simply improving his martial arts level was not enough; it was more important to seek immortal techniques within the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Even if one cultivates their martial arts to the level of a first-class master, they probably still wouldn't be a match for a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator.
The thought flashed through his mind: after leaving the bamboo hut, he planned to wander around the black market for a while, or set up a stall and make a request to buy the method of cultivating qi.
Soon, everyone bid farewell to Jiang He. After leaving the bamboo house, Wang Qingliang and Lin Xiaofei said goodbye and left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Xiaofei wandered around the black market alone for a while.
However, he did not see anyone selling methods of Qi cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Xiaofei followed the example of some other stall owners, found an empty spot on one side of the bluestone road, sat down, and placed a large white cloth strip in front of him.
The cloth strip read: "Seeking to purchase a Qi cultivation method within the ninth level of Qi cultivation, preferably the lower volume of the Dewdrop True God Method. I am willing to exchange it for a large number of Magic Explosion Pills."
Lin Xiaofei sat there cross-legged, and cultivators passed by from time to time.
He noticed that the monks who lingered for a moment would quickly glance at the contents of the white cloth strip and then walk away.
And so, ten people passed by, fifty people passed by, a hundred people passed by...
Eleven hours later, finally, someone came to Lin Xiaofei. He glanced at the contents of the white cloth strip, his eyes lit up, and he crouched down, approaching Lin Xiaofei and whispering:
"Young man, I possess the second volume of the Dewdrop True God Technique. How many Magic Explosion Pills are you willing to offer in exchange?"
The listless Lin Xiaofei perked up instantly upon hearing about the second volume of the Dewdrop True God Technique, and quickly said with a smile:
I currently only have seventy Magic Explosion Pills. I wonder if I could exchange them for the second volume of the Dewdrop True God Technique?
"This one?"
Seventy Magic Explosion Pills are only enough to exchange for the first eight levels of the Dewdrop True God Technique.
After a moment of contemplation, the thin, middle-aged cultivator continued, "
"If you have anything else on you, worth at least three hundred low-grade spirit stones, I'm willing to trade you the second volume of the Dewdrop True God Technique."
