“I have one more trump card up my sleeve now!”
Luo Chen erased Qiu Bai’s Spirit Power Imprint and simply refined the Green Musk Aggregation Jiao Flag before pocketing it.
Lying in bed, Luo Chen calculated his gains from the auction.
He hadn’t made many moves, merely acquiring a bottle of Restoring Yang Water, a Fire Series Technique secret manual, and five bottles of Runming Pearl Liquid.
They wouldn’t instantly enhance his power.
However, doubtlessly, these items were excellent auxiliary resources for cultivation.
And the Fire Series Technique secret manual, being a Second Order Technique, would also become a trump card in Luo Chen’s hand if he managed to master it during the Qi Refinement stage.
“But the real gain lies in determining the market and price for the Blood Ignition Pill!”
A smirk surfaced in Luo Chen’s eyes.
Admittedly, the high cost of the Blood Ignition Pill had made him feel anxious about its value as he had devoted much effort to deducing the Pill Formula, and even used ten Achievement Points to start it.
If the value turned out to be unworthy, and he could only use it personally, it would be a huge loss.
Now it seemed, there was great potential!
“Especially in this unstable times when battles and killings are prevalent, it’s time for the Blood Ignition Pill to shine!”
As dawn approaches, the cool and refreshing morning wind blew across the entire Great River District.
After the thunderstorm last night, walking in the Outer City, one could smell the fragrance of the soil.
The bloody scent brought by fights and killings had considerably dissipated.
The number of cultivators active nearby had increased.
As expected, today should be the day of the local market.
Luo Chen sneaked into the Inner City within the crowd.
He saw Zhou Yuanli guarding the city gate, but didn’t see the rest of the bodyguards.
“It seems that Zhou Yuanli is likely to be the most trusted among the bodyguards by Mi Shuhua.”
“Otherwise, it makes no sense to guard the city gate so early.”
Without looking back, Luo Chen left Zhou Yuanli far behind.
He had suspected this early on.
Among the five bodyguards, Zhou Yuanli was the strongest and the most mature and stable.
It was most appropriate for Mi Shuhua to trust him and assign him the task of watching Luo Chen.
This is good!
At least there would be a relatively reliable person during the usual security processes.
Luo Chen, carrying his spoils, returned to the courtyard.
He didn’t appear in front of the others until daylight.
“Did you sneak out last night to steal someone?”
Seeing his languid look, Qin Liangchen teased him with a laugh.
Luo Chen was stunned, then grinned sheepishly.
He really did steal someone!
The person he stole from must be raging!
Such a large Top Grade Magic Tool was stolen right in front of him.
He just hoped there was enough inheritance in that acquired storage bag!
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere unknown to him, the dusty Liu Han looked expressionlessly at the storage bag.
“A Qi Refinement Finalization Cultivator, so poor?”
He could understand why there were no Spirit Stones in it.
Qiu Bai had run out of Spirit Stones when he was bidding for the Top Grade Magic Tool at the Zhenlong Black Market. He barely managed to gather enough together by throwing in a few equivalent Spirit Materials.
However, he didn’t expect that besides an Ascendant Grade Magic Tool and a Medium Grade Defense Magic Tool, there was nothing else.
That’s right, nothing else!
No Talismans!
No elixir!
No Technique Secret Manual, no puppet, no Spirit Medicine or Spirit
Materials… absolutely nothing.
This worth is cleaner than his face.
No wonder Qiu Bai was doing desperate things like resorting to killing and robbing outside.
How could a cultivator be so poor?
“I’ve truly committed a sin!”
Liu Han was on the verge of tears. For this thing, he had spent an Ascendant
Grade Strange Door Magic Tool.
After the midday Pill Refinement ended.
Luo Chen took a few bodyguards and perambulated around the Outer City.
While strolling, he casually learned about the situation in various districts of the Outer City.
For example, where most of the foreign cultivators gathered, how many shops were owned by local cultivators, and how the properties of the Broken Mountain Gang were distributed in the Outer City.
Undeniably, the five bodyguards were old members of the Gang, and could answer his questions effortlessly.
Only then did Luo Chen realize that the Broken Mountain Gang wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.
The shops in the Inner City, the fun places, drinking establishments, and the newly built clothing stores last winter in the Outer City were all thriving. Unfortunately, recent chaos led to a significant decline in income from these industries.
“If our Gang Leader manages to get enough good things in the Golden Core ruins, and successfully forms the Core in the future, our Broken Mountain Gang can instantly become a Golden Core force. There’s even a possibility that we might form a Sect!”
Thinking about forming a Sect, Dong Fangliang was filled with passion.
At that time, they would also be Sect Disciples, bringing more honor when going out!
Luo Chen snorted, forming a Golden Core wasn’t that easy.
Foundation Establishment was manageable, with enough external resources and adequate qualifications, plus a bit of luck, success was highly likely.
But the Golden Core involved the Spirit Vein Land!
Without a suitable Third Order Spirit Vein Land, it’s impossible for ordinary rogue cultivators to form a core.
There was a difference between breaking through realm and daily cultivation. Also, Luo Chen didn’t wish Mi Shuhua to form a core, if so, he would just be a pure tool in front of Mi Shuhua.
During their conversation, Luo Chen pretended to inadvertently ask about the black market.
This time, he asked about an ordinary black market, a somewhat lower-level one.
Unexpectedly, this thing was quite popular.
Among the five bodyguards, each could provide some information, completing Luo Chen’s understanding..
