"I'm not sure if you can get the Qi Refining Method from them."
However, if you have a treasure that someone covets, or a large amount of spirit stones, it will be easier to exchange them for the Qi Refining Method.
For example, spiritual herbs, elixirs, talismans—anything that can be helpful to cultivators can be offered in exchange.
As Wang Qingliang spoke, he took a sip of tea and then continued:
Okay, I've told you everything you wanted to know. That's all for today. You can go home now, and I'll take you to the black market in a few days.
"Thank you, Senior Wang."
Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Emerging from the Zixia Taoist Temple, Lin Xiaofei beamed with joy, in high spirits. He was glad he had come to the right place to visit Senior Wang Qingliang.
Not only did he know that the Qingfeng Gang was just a small force under the Gong family, but he also found a way to obtain immortal techniques above the sixth level of Qi Refining. How could he not be happy?
Although he cannot obtain the subsequent Qi cultivation methods of the Dewdrop True God Technique, as long as he can obtain immortal techniques within the ninth level of Qi cultivation, he can switch to cultivating them and still improve his own immortal technique realm and strength.
"I wish I could go to the black market right now."
Unfortunately, I don't know the place, and even if I did, I wouldn't have anything to offer when I got there, so I wouldn't be able to exchange it for items for cultivating immortality.
After much thought, I decided to follow Senior Wang's suggestion.
I need to prepare myself properly and have something presentable before I can have the confidence to negotiate with Senior Wang when he takes me to the black market or when I meet with those fellow Daoists.
In short, I have eight or nine days left, and I need to carefully plan this matter.
As Lin Xiaofei walked, he pondered and quickly came up with a plan.
In the time leading up to the black market, he needed to prepare some things so that he could exchange items with the cultivators normally once he arrived.
For him, the spiritual herbs with spiritual properties planted inside the spatial bead were perfect to take with him.
However, in order to prepare more things, he remembered that he still had a first-grade pill recipe, which could be used to refine a magic explosion pill.
He had previously searched for materials for the Magic Explosion Pill in Qingshan Town, but unfortunately, Qingshan Town was poor in resources and he couldn't find any.
Since joining the Qingfeng Gang, he has been searching for materials for the Magic Explosion Pill, and now he has found the materials he wanted in Canyon County.
After leaving Wang Qingliang's Taoist temple, Lin Xiaofei traveled around Xiagu County, purchasing medicinal materials for refining elixirs and other remedies.
He spent nearly a thousand taels of silver on this.
As Lin Xiaofei carried a large cloth bag, he passed by the gate of the Qingfeng Gang compound. Inside the compound, many disciples were discussing among themselves.
Lin Xiaofei overheard something and realized that the disciples were discussing Li Yunguo's death.
At the same time, Lin Xiaofei recalled that this morning, Feng Yilun told him that the Grand Elder had arranged for many people to investigate the murder of Li Yunguo.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaofei went straight into the gate of the Qingfeng Gang. He walked very slowly, pretending to be passing by, but actually wanted to listen to the discussions among the disciples.
In a corridor inside the main gate, seven or eight inner disciples were gathered together, talking to each other.
After glancing at the inner disciples, Lin Xiaofei slowly walked over.
"Junior brother, at noon today, when you were assisting that group with their investigation, I saw you hand them a package. What was that?"
One inner disciple looked at another inner disciple and said.
"What else could it be? It's just some dead objects related to Li Yunguo."
The inner disciple said calmly.
"Haha, I thought you were handing over some food to that group of people, junior brother."
With a hearty laugh, the man glanced at the two other inner disciples beside him, smiled, and then asked, "
"Didn't you accept a mission to investigate the cause of Li Yunguo's death? Why are you back in the gang?"
"We've been busy with a group of people from the Elder's faction since morning, and we haven't even had a meal yet. We're exhausted after a long day, so we thought we'd go back to the gang and have a big meal at the gang's canteen to relax."
Who would have thought that we'd be stopped by you, Senior Brother, the moment we returned to the gang.
An inner disciple standing nearby said with a smile.
"You've been busy all day, have you found anything out?"
The so-called senior brother asked with a curious look.
"Even those senior brothers who are at the Inner Qi Realm couldn't find any results from the investigation, let alone us disciples with low strength. We can only assist in the investigation from the sidelines and find nothing at all."
An inner disciple shook his head, sighed, and said:
This time, the Grand Elder sent many people to investigate the matter, and some of them were assassinated during the investigation.
This morning, two disciples at the Flowing Realm and one at the Inner Qi Realm were searching for clues in an alley when they were found dead there at noon.
They were all stabbed through the chest, and the wounds on their bodies were very similar to those on Li Yunguo when he was killed.
This is clearly someone deliberately opposing the Grand Elder, causing those of us investigating this matter to live in fear, lest we be killed if we act alone.
"Three more people have died?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled.
The inner disciple continued, "
The three inner disciples who died were all from the Grand Elder's faction, and they were considered to be somewhat talented.
Especially that Senior Brother Lu Yiming, who was at the mid-stage of Inner Qi cultivation, his death was truly a pity.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was startled once again.
It should be noted that Lu Yiming was a martial artist at the Inner Qi Realm, and his strength was not weak. Yet, he was killed by a single blow without being injured.
In other words, the person who killed Lu Yiming must have been at least a third-rate martial artist; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to kill Lu Yiming with a single strike.
Now, three of the people the Grand Elder sent to investigate have died. This is a blatant slap in the face to the Grand Elder, and it is no small matter.
"In just one day, three of the people sent out to investigate Li Yunguo have died."
This also caused some members of the gang to become suspicious and fearful, afraid to go out alone for fear of being killed.
Another inner disciple standing to one side of the corridor sighed and said.
"We are the most unlucky ones."
Now that I've accepted this mission, I have no choice but to go out and assist in the investigation, during which my life could be lost at any moment.
An inner disciple, a serious expression on his face, said:
However, this matter has already attracted the attention of the Grand Elder, who has already reissued a task in the Internal Affairs Hall.
A reward of 500 taels of silver will be given for each reliable clue provided regarding the murderer of Li Yunguo. If the clues are found by the people under the Grand Elder's faction, a reward of 2,500 taels of silver will be given.
Of course, if you can personally kill the murderer, the reward is even more tempting: 2,500 taels of silver, plus 1,200 contribution points.
The reward for this mission is the highest it has been in three years. It seems the Grand Elder is determined to find the murderer who killed Li Yunguo.
"I have a feeling that this was done by the Third Elder. No one from the other weaker gangs dares to touch the people of our Qingfeng Gang."
"It's an inner disciple standing to the side," he said in a low voice.
