"I have already planted the three kinds of five elemental herbs in the space bead: Golden Beard Spirit Flower, One Yuan Flame Tail Grass, and Water Insect Crystal Grass."
Next, we need to collect spirit herbs with the attributes of metal, earth, and wood.
Looking at the three kinds of Five Elements Spiritual Herbs planted inside the Space Bead, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself, then rode the little cat beast toward a mountain.
This mountain is located in the north of Shifeng County, at the junction of three county towns.
This border area, nestled among the mountains and forests, is a gathering place for cultivators from the three prefectures, facilitating their movement. Among the places here is a market town called Lingyun Market Town.
"I hope that what I need can be found in Lingyun Market."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
According to what he learned in Shifeng County, he heard that cultivators from various regions frequently travel to and from Yunwu Market, and that all sorts of things can be traded there.
Currently, what he lacks are two kinds of Five Elements Spirit Herbs and the foundation-building cultivation method of the Dew True God Technique.
A day later, Lin Xiaofei appeared before a great mountain, took a deep breath, felt the spiritual energy in the air, and murmured to himself:
The concentration of spiritual energy here is twice that of Shifeng County City, and that great mountain is shrouded in mist, within which lies the Lingyun Market.
At first glance, a towering mountain stands before you, seemingly surrounded by a hidden spiritual energy gathering array that continuously draws in the spiritual energy from the sky.
Lin Xiaofei watched as the spiritual energy drifted through the air and slowly entered the mountain. He guessed that this must have been the work of a high-level array master.
If a Qi Refining cultivator were to cultivate here, their cultivation speed would likely be greatly increased.
Without much thought, Lin Xiaofei rode the little cat beast and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
A quick glance revealed a tall stone pillar standing on one side of a bluestone avenue, with the words "Lingyun Market" carved on it.
Among them, people came and went, and almost everyone was wearing a Taoist robe. It was obvious that almost everyone here was a cultivator.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei entered and immediately heard many Qi Refining cultivators discussing among themselves.
"Alas, I'm a step too late today. The Spirit Essence Pills at Lingyun Pavilion are sold out again. It seems I'll have to go to some shops nearby to buy them."
"Who says otherwise? I'm just like you. I just came out of Lingyun Pavilion. I had my eye on a magic artifact in the Seven Days and came to buy it today, but I was told that it had already been bought by someone else."
However, I'm not worried. Lingyun Pavilion has all sorts of treasures. I'm sure in a few days, Lingyun Pavilion will have similar magical artifacts. At worst, I'll come every day. I refuse to believe I can't buy the same type of magical artifact as before.
...
"Lingyun Pavilion!"
Hearing the discussions, Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, and he had a sudden realization.
Lingyun Pavilion has all kinds of treasures, including magic weapons, pills, spiritual herbs, and so on. Moreover, the treasures sold there are of the highest quality.
He also learned that Lingyun Pavilion was established by Lingyun Sect, which was located a hundred miles away.
Having gained some understanding of the place, Lin Xiaofei stopped lingering. Seeing a large group of people heading in one direction, he immediately followed them.
Lingyun Market covers an extremely large area, estimated to be eight or nine li in circumference.
The roads were paved with bluestone, and there were rows of shops on one side of the road. There were also many people setting up stalls in the surrounding area, selling various ores, some low-grade spiritual herbs, exotic beast pelts, and so on.
After a quick look, Lin Xiaofei arrived in front of a pavilion, namely Lingyun Pavilion.
Lingyun Pavilion is a huge bamboo building, three stories high. The bamboo building is surrounded by faint spiritual light, as if some kind of formation has been set up, making it seem particularly special.
"Since Lingyun Pavilion sells all kinds of treasures, it must also have Five Elements Spirit Herbs, right?"
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiaofei stepped inside.
Inside the shop, there were more than a dozen large wooden frames arranged neatly, their surfaces gleaming with a spiritual light, clearly indicating that even the frames were made of spiritual materials.
Various treasures were displayed on the large wooden shelves.
Many cultivators wandered around the wooden frame, admiring the various treasures.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around, not bothering to admire the items, and went straight to a counter, asking an old man:
"Shopkeeper, do you have any top-grade spiritual herbs with various five elements here?"
"some."
The old man slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that Lin Xiaofei was a young man dressed plainly, he didn't seem like someone who could afford the Five Elements Spirit Herbs. He then spoke calmly:
Today, the remaining five-element first-grade spiritual herbs in my shop, as well as fire spirit bamboo leaves, a first-grade spiritual plant of the fire attribute, are priced at two thousand low-grade spirit stones per plant.
Earth Core Purple Sweet Potato, a first-grade spiritual plant with earth attributes, costs 1,800 low-grade spirit stones per plant.
Mysterious Lotus Seed, a first-grade spiritual plant with water attributes, costs 3,800 low-grade spirit stones per plant.
Which of these three top-grade spiritual herbs of the Five Elements would you like to buy?
"I want purple sweet potatoes from the Earth's core."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofei was secretly delighted and said again:
"Shopkeeper, since these are all the spirit herbs we have left today, do you have any wood-attribute spirit herbs for sale tomorrow?"
"Wood-attribute spiritual plants are generally difficult to cultivate. Although my Lingyun Sect has planted many wood-attribute spiritual plants, the survival rate is relatively low."
Therefore, my Lingyun Pavilion usually only sells ten wood-attribute spirit herbs once every two months.
This morning, all the wood-attribute spiritual plants were already sold out.
Shaking his head, the shopkeeper gestured to a servant beside him to fetch the purple sweet potato from the earth's core, and then said:
If you want a wood-attribute spiritual plant, then come back in a month. However, whether you can get one depends on the highest bidder. Just make sure you bring enough spirit stones then.
Lin Xiaofei nodded but did not reply.
If he could definitely buy wood-attribute spiritual herbs in a month, he wouldn't mind waiting. However, judging from the shopkeeper's tone, it seemed that wood-attribute spiritual plants were not so easy to obtain.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaofei said:
"Shopkeeper, do you buy things like animal hides?"
"Of course we accepted it."
What kind of exotic animal hides are you looking to sell?
The shopkeeper said calmly.
"Shopkeeper, this counter is too small. If I take things out, there probably won't be enough room for them to be piled up."
Lin Xiaofei said.
"Um?"
The shopkeeper asked in confusion, then a thought struck him. He realized the young man before him might bring in a big deal. After a moment's thought, he said, "
Follow me.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei followed the shopkeeper to a large room behind the counter. The shopkeeper pointed to the ground and said, "
Just pile the animal hides here.
"Okay!" Lin Xiaofei replied, and then emptied everything out of his storage bag.
"The skeleton of a low-level golden python demon. This thing can be used to forge four or five mid-grade magic artifacts, worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones."
And its scales can be crafted into a suit of soft armor; I'll give you seventy low-grade spirit stones for that.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the pile of items, and he immediately began to count them.
