Chapter 44 Night Encounter

"However, I must tell you something: this time, one of the auxiliary ingredients for the Qi Pill is called Earth Vein Spring, which may be very difficult to find nowadays."

The shopkeeper rocked back in his recliner, a smile on his face.

Oh.

"Could you please tell me the reason?"

Yu Huai asked.

Ha ha.

"It's not a secret, so I won't hesitate to tell you."

"The reason why the Earth Vein Spring is so hard to find is because the Qingxuan Sect is searching for this material extensively within the Song Kingdom, and has almost monopolized it."

"In order to fulfill the assignments made by the Qingxuan Sect, all the Foundation Establishment clans spared no expense in terms of manpower and resources to obtain them."

"If you wish to seek that earth vein spring, it would undoubtedly mean making enemies of them. In that case, would you still be willing to buy this pill formula, fellow Daoist?"

The shopkeeper chuckled and looked at Yu Huai.

Is that really the case?

No wonder he would sell this prescription.

Yu Huai pondered to himself, and instead of giving the correct answer, asked:

"If I really want it, how much does this elixir formula cost?"

Oh?

Hearing what Yu Huai said, the shopkeeper was clearly surprised, then smiled and said:

"If you wish, fellow Daoist, 200 spirit stones will suffice."

"You said the auxiliary materials are hard to find, so why are they so expensive?"

Yu Huai asked.

"Fellow Daoist is joking. This pill is an aid to cultivation, and my offer is already quite reasonable. Besides, it's just that the auxiliary ingredients are hard to find. If you are a genius alchemist, you can use other things instead."

The shopkeeper shook his head.

Yu Huai had more than enough spirit stones to buy this pill formula.

However, the earth vein spring truly stumped him.

He couldn't very well go and compete with the Qingxuan Sect and those Foundation Establishment clans for this earth vein spring.

As for modifying the pill formula, he's not that kind of genius.

Although he's not a genius, he does have a cheat code.

The chance of getting alchemy-related entries daily is very high.

Moreover, the Qingxuan Sect cannot monopolize this earth vein spring forever; they will eventually release some of it.

If one day he joins the Qingxuan Sect, he can obtain this material from there.

After considering it for a moment, Yu Huai still did not agree, but asked again:

"Besides this Qi-restoring pill, are there any other pill formulas?"

hum.

The shopkeeper gave a light hum and replied:

"The pill formula is the foundation of an alchemist's livelihood, a matter of life and death; how can it be revealed so easily?"

"If you are not going to buy, then please leave."

Yu Huai was naturally aware of the importance of elixir formulas to alchemists.

It was just a casual question.

If so, then it's an unexpected bonus.

"In that case, I'll buy the Qi-restoring pill if the price drops a little more in spirit stones."

Yu Huai looked at the shopkeeper and said.

After some haggling.

Yu Huai spent 183 spirit stones to buy the pill formula and left the shop satisfied.

He didn't linger and quickly found the teleportation array in the center of the black market. He paid a full 20 spirit stones before being teleported out of the black market.

In the blink of an eye.

A figure covered in white light appeared out of thin air on an official road.

"Immortal Master!"

"Greetings, Immortal Master!"

Is this what relocation is?

He could only sense a flash of white light before he appeared dozens of miles outside Qingwu City.

With such power, this formation must be a high-grade first-tier formation.

Yu Huai became increasingly interested in the formations.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that talent.

However, when he came to his senses, he realized that there were several figures kneeling in front of him.

It must have been my sudden appearance that startled these people.

Yu Huai pondered for a moment, then said nothing more. He casually tossed down a few spirit coins and used his movement technique to leave the place.

"Thank you for the gift, Immortal Master!"

This black market is some distance from Falling Maple Lane.

Even with his agility, it took him several days to get here. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he needs to leave as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

It was midnight.

[Entry: Silent (Green): Spell power +20%, spells are silent and difficult to detect]

[Entry: Night Vision (Green) significantly improves vision in dark and foggy environments]

[Entry: Breathing Exercise (White): Cultivation speed +10%, spiritual energy conversion during meditation is more refined]

……

Yu Huai leaned against a pine tree, a fire burning, turning the roasted meat on it, and looking at the newly updated entries.

Two greens and one white, not bad at all.

However, it seems that those two green lines are not as useful as the "breathing" entry.

As Yu Huai pondered this, he looked up into the dark forest.

The entry for "Night Vision" allows him to see the forest scene as clearly as if it were daytime.

However, at that moment, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him at high speed.

has a problem!

Yu Huai's expression hardened, and he stood up, staring intently at the figure moving through the woods.

Gradually.

The figure emerged from the forest.

The figure paused slightly, seemingly noticing someone, and stopped warily, looking at Yu Huai, who was illuminated by the firelight.

Qi Refining Completed!

Yu Huai possessed night vision and could clearly see the figure's face. When he sensed the cultivation level emanating from the other party, he was startled.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with traces of blood on his face. Upon closer inspection, a gruesome wound was clearly visible on his chest, as if he had just been through a fierce battle.

Could it have escaped from a black market auction?

Yu Huai kept his thoughts to himself, his expression remaining solemn.

Ok?

Qi Refining Level 6?

snort!

"Since when even a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator dares to block him!"

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"

Upon seeing Yu Huai's cultivation level, Wu Wen's face turned angry, and he let out a cold snort.

He was a rogue cultivator who had reached the Qi Refining stage in Chang Le County. He was renowned among cultivators of the same level. Today, he heard that there were Foundation Establishment spiritual items in the black market here, so he crossed a county to come here.

He was hoping to obtain this foundation-building spiritual object to establish his foundation.

But this trip infuriated him greatly.

Not only was there an inconsiderate person blocking his way when he entered the black market, but at the auction, another person also appeared to be competing with him for this Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

It cost him several thousand spirit stones to barely buy it.

These are the spirit stones he has saved up over half his life.

However, it's worth it for the sake of foundation building.

He thought he could successfully establish his foundation in this way.

However, when he used the teleportation array, he appeared next to several Qi Refining Perfection cultivators.

It must have been the forces behind the black market that did this.

Fortunately, he was very strong and used all his trump cards. He not only killed the two men but also managed to escape, though he was injured in the process.

Now, after running dozens of miles, he was stopped by a mere cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, which made him even angrier.

To prevent those perfected cultivators from catching up, Wu Wen didn't hesitate for a moment. Suddenly, a scalpel appeared in his hand, and from a distance, he slashed at Yu Huai.

Whoosh!

A golden arc of light shot towards Yu Huai.

Upon seeing this, Yu Huai was greatly alarmed. He hadn't expected to face a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining so soon. Even though the person was injured, he was still a formidable opponent.

After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was indeed quite significant.

Yu Huai felt a chill creeping over him.

He hurriedly cast several spells to counter them.

Without stopping, he patted his storage bag, and several flying swords flew out, piercing straight towards Wu Wen.

boom!

Even with the added bonus from the [Silent] attribute, Yu Huai still had to use several spells to barely block the attack.
