Chapter 114: Enlightenment in the Wind and Rain
"With large-scale and batch shipments, the market prices of these spiritual plants and herbs have continued to fall. There are even rumors that there are two other caves of the same size hidden near the wood-attributed spiritual cave."
Jiao Xiuyuan shook his head and sighed.
"Just think about it, the spiritual plants and herbs that I have worked so hard to cultivate for half a year are finally ripe, and I am happy to harvest them and prepare to sell them for a good price."
"But when I went to the market, I found that everything had fallen to dirt cheap, and I couldn't even recover my costs."
"Who can stand this?"
"Who would want to grow their own crops under these circumstances? It's better to just buy them in the market!"
Li Fan nodded: "So that's how it is. Then this little Medicine King Cauldron is useless even if I bought it."
"No, no, no!" Li Fan said impatiently.
Jiao Xiuyuan repeatedly advised: "Daoyou, please think about it again. Although the prices of spiritual plants and herbs have dropped now, what about the future? Will they go up again? No one can say for sure!"
"A treasure like the Small Medicine King Cauldron is hard to come by! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!"
"Even if you don't grow herbs, it's good to grow some flowers and plants to keep with you!"
Jiao Xiuyuan made full use of his eloquence and tried his best to persuade.
"This..." Li Fan seemed a little tempted.
Jiao Xiuyuan struck while the iron was hot and continued to increase the price: "I think this fellow Taoist should also be a regular customer of Qianlitang. So, today I will sell it at a loss, buy one get one free!"
As he spoke, he took out a small tripod from somewhere and placed it on the table with a clang.
Li Fan looked at the two almost identical tripods and couldn't help but look at Jiao Xiuyuan with suspicion: "Fellow Daoist, are you lying to me? Did you really dig out this Little Medicine King Tripod from the ruins of the Medicine King Sect?"
Jiao Xiuyuan was anxious: "Of course it's true! Our Qianlitang's business is all over the world of immortal cultivation, how could we destroy our own reputation!"
"Look, the dirt hasn't been cleaned up yet!"
Jiao Xiuyuan patted the two small tripods, causing dirt to fall down.
"500 contribution points, buy one get one free! You will definitely not lose out on this deal, fellow Taoist!"
Seeing Jiao Xiuyuan patting his chest to make a promise, Li Fan hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have much contribution points. I came here for other things. I don't have any extra money to buy this small medicine king cauldron!"
"No, just tell me what's the matter! I'll help you with some advice. After all, you're my old customer, don't you think?" Seeing that Li Fan had changed his mind, Jiao Xiuyuan became anxious again.
Li Fan then explained the purpose of his visit.
“Hey, isn’t it just about finding a place where there are many cultivators who have broken through from Qi Refining to Foundation Building? That’s not easy! If you buy these two small Medicine King Cauldrons, then this news can be considered as a free gift from me!” Jiao Xiuyuan said generously.
"Okay, since you said so." Li Fan wanted nothing more than to take out five high-quality spirit stones that he had prepared long ago from his storage ring and handed them over.
"Great!" Jiao Xiuyuan put the spirit stone away, as if afraid that Li Fan would regret it.
Then he took out a blank jade slip and held it in his hand. After a while, he handed the jade slip and the two tripods to Li Fan.
Li Fan put away the Small Medicine King Cauldron and browsed the contents of the jade slip.
"Master of Foundation Building? Interesting." The goal has been achieved, and without further ado, Li Fan prepared to go directly to the target's location.
As for the two small Medicine King Cauldrons, they only cost 500 contribution points, so I bought them together. What Jiao Xiuyuan said made sense, maybe they would be useful in the future?
After walking a few steps, Li Fan suddenly remembered something.
He turned around and stared at Jiao Xiuyuan carefully, as if thinking about something.
Then left quietly.
Jiao Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to Li Fan's actions, muttering to himself: "I worked so hard to dig out thirty-six small tripods, and after a long time, I only sold ten of them. What a damn bad luck..."
…
Southeast waters of Congyun Sea.
The sea here is quite empty. Except for an unnamed small island in the center, there are no other islands within thousands of miles.
The foundation-building master that Jiao Xiuyuan mentioned is staying on this island.
Although this person is only in the late stage of foundation building, it is said that he has a deep understanding of the foundation building process.
It can guide and shorten the time required for cultivators to build their foundation.
Therefore, many monks came to ask for advice with the mentality of giving it a try.
You know what, it’s really effective.
However, cultivators also care about their reputation, and after successfully building their foundation, most of them are unwilling to admit that they relied on the help of others to build their foundation.
So I seldom mention this to others.
The fame of the Foundation Building Master is only spread among a specific group of people.
Just as Li Fan was rushing towards the island where the Foundation Building Master was, the trace of his mind that remained with Zhang Haobo sent back a feedback.
Li Fan's mind moved and his attention returned to Zhang Haobo.
At this time, the wind and rain gradually dissipated and the sky became clear.
"wind……"
Zhang Haobo opened his eyes and whispered, with a storm gathering in his eyes.
A slight breeze blew by.
"Rain..." Zhang Haobo whispered again.
The sound of raindrops began to fall from the sky again.
"It's raining and windy..."
Zhang Haobo's eyes flashed and he shouted softly.
The wind blew and the rain gradually got heavier.
Raindrops fell from the sky like a broken bead curtain.
Rain falls and wind rises.
The wind howled, getting louder and louder, pushing the rain even heavier.
Gradually, clouds in the sky were attracted from all directions in the west, and seemed to condense into thick dark clouds.
Bringing the showers again.
The strong wind stirred up huge waves, which kept surging.
The situation is getting worse.
The rain takes advantage of the wind, and the wind helps the rain gain power.
This cycle continues, constantly reinforcing each other, and seems to be endless.
It seemed that a new storm was about to arise between heaven and earth.
But suddenly, the clouds dispersed.
The wind suddenly stopped.
The vision suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Haobo laughed loudly, then fell backwards as if he had lost strength.
Falling into the sea from a high altitude, splashing high water.
It sank to the bottom of the sea and all sound disappeared.
…
"It's raining and windy..."
Li Fan, who saw and heard the whole process, couldn't help but admire it.
This magical power could not be fully displayed due to Zhang Haobo's exhaustion.
But we can already get a glimpse of its power when it is fully formed.
"I hope you can bring me more surprises next time."
With his mind back on his original body, Li Fan continued on his way towards his destination.
Three days later.
The island where the Foundation Building Master is located is already in sight.
There seems to be only one complex courtyard-like building on the island.
Li Fan slowed down his flying speed and slowly landed in front of the courtyard gate.
The door was open, and a listless young man was leaning against it.
He glanced at Li Fan and said lazily: "Master, I guarantee that you will build your foundation. I will not cheat anyone."
"You need to prepare your own unique items from heaven and earth."
"The price is 2000 contribution points, which can also be converted into equivalent spirit stones."
