Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 56 Revisiting the Market, Choosing a Location for the Dan Shop

Martial Arts Palace.

Wang Xinyu looked at the physical data sent by Lin Chen and exclaimed in amazement.

"It hasn't been that long... and you're almost a martial arts master?"

"Tsk tsk... Looks like I'll have to forge you a new suit of armor again."

She thought for a moment and asked:

"What do you think... about having a Martial Spirit level battle armor crafted for you directly?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this.

The cost of a Martial Spirit-level battle armor is extremely high, generally exceeding one billion Great Xia coins.

Because the armor is not only made entirely of different metals, but also equipped with powerful firepower.

It is no exaggeration to say that a high-ranking general wearing armor is powerful enough to fight against a martial spirit.

If a Martial Spirit expert wears this level of armor, and encounters a Martial Grandmaster... at least their death won't be too gruesome.

"Yes, I am currently in a period of rapid growth in strength... but as my realm advances, the rate of improvement will inevitably decline."

"Once you reach the Martial General or Martial Spirit level, the progression probably won't be as fast..."

Lin Chen thought to himself that as his martial arts realm improved, the difference in his blood and qi values ​​would become increasingly greater.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen said sincerely:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Xinyu... I want one with the design of the Heavenly Demon Armor!"

"Your safety is always our top priority! The Martial Spirit Armor... should last you for a while."

After saying that, she handed over a slightly larger tin box.

"This box contains thirty replicas of the Five Thunder Coins, all made according to your previous requirements..."

"The research institute is also speeding up production, and producing several thousand more within a week shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Chen took the iron box and put it into the nano bag.

"I don't need so many Five Thunder Coins for now... Trading these things is risky, these thirty are enough for two transactions."

Lin Chen nodded.

Although with the technology of Earth, producing Five Thunder Seeds would be a piece of cake.

But after all, this thing is a rare item in the cultivation world, and things are valued for their rarity. If he sells too much at once, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

After checking all my gear and making all the necessary preparations, the countdown on my arm was about to reset.

Wang Xinyu, Wang Lishan, and the others watched Lin Chen nervously. They were always worried about him during each of their journeys.

Lin Chen appeared quite relaxed, while silently reciting in his mind:

"Three, two, one..."

Countdown reset!

Lin Chen's gaze also shifted...

……

Danfeng Peak of Changchun Gate, the residence of disciples.

Lin Chen skillfully put the weapon into his storage bag.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the storage bag that was completely stuffed full.

"Looks like I'll need to buy a bigger storage bag when I go down the mountain this time..."

The supplies brought from Earth are increasing, and the mere three-foot-long storage bag is no longer sufficient.

Not long after, Master Han Jihai brought breakfast.

After finishing the spiritual food, Lin Chen cultivated for another two hours.

With improvements in breathing techniques, the boost to cultivation speed brought by spiritual food is even more significant.

It wasn't until the morning that Lin Chen left Danfeng and headed towards the market town at the foot of the mountain.

First, he spent ten spirit stones to rent the inn for a year.

Afterwards, Lin Chen arrived at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

Inside the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Huang Xin was taking inventory of medicinal herbs and pills.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Senior Brother Lin! Are you here to sell pills again this time?" Huang Xin greeted him.

Lin Chen nodded, took out ten bottles of Qi and Blood Pills and ten bottles of Qi-Boosting Pills, and said:

"My master sent me to sell these... There are twenty bottles of pills in total. Could you check them?"

"Also... I need another batch of elixirs."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xin quickly replied:

"Was it made by the Peak Master? No wonder... I was wondering why the quality was so good."

"Senior brother, please wait a moment. I'll go ask the shopkeeper first..."

After saying that, he ran upstairs.

Before long, the portly shopkeeper came downstairs again, first to verify the quality of the pills.

Then, politely, he said:

"So it was made by Fellow Daoist Han... I met him once many years ago."

"Speaking of which, I actually took over this shop from Fellow Daoist Han..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

He had indeed heard his master say that the shop had been sold after he failed to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the shop my master used to own is now the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

"Two hundred pills in total... If you buy some spiritual herbs, I'll quote you a higher price, how about four hundred spirit stones in total?"

Lin Chen nodded in agreement; the price was reasonable.

The Qi-Boosting Pill is a consumable item, and a bottle costs only ten spirit stones.

Although the Qi-boosting pills produced by the instrument are considered top-grade, they are not as valuable as the Qi-blood pills.

With the money and goods exchanged, Lin Chen received four hundred spirit stones.

Just as he was about to buy the medicinal herbs, the portly shopkeeper suddenly sighed and said:

"Young friend, you're quite a regular customer... If you buy more medicinal herbs, I can give you a 20% discount."

Lin Chen was taken aback. Last time, this fat shopkeeper was so stingy, so why was he offering a discount this time?

Seeing his confusion, the fat shopkeeper explained:

"Sigh, my shop is about to close down... I can't let this batch of medicinal herbs sit unsold; I have to sell them."

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, and he asked in confusion:

"But it's poorly managed, so you're transferring the shop?"

The fat shopkeeper shook his head.

"Business at the shop is alright, after all, Changchun Sect purchases a batch of pills every month..."

"But I am already old and still far from achieving the Core Formation stage... If I waste any more time, I fear I will never be able to achieve the Core Formation stage in my lifetime."

"Over the years, I've accumulated some spirit stones. I've decided to buy some magical treasures to protect myself, and then travel out to explore ancient ruins and secret realms... in pursuit of the Golden Core!"

Having said that, the fat shopkeeper's eyes showed even more worry, and he muttered to himself:

"Once one is not a seeker of the Golden Elixir, immortality is but a reflection of the moon in a mirror..."

Lin Chen remained silent after hearing this.

People like the fat shopkeeper are already considered "high-end" independent cultivators.

But even so...

Even if someone is exceptionally talented and skilled in management, and successfully establishes their foundation, they may still be stuck before reaching the Core Formation stage, unable to make any further progress.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to take a gamble and seek a breakthrough.

"The Core Formation realm is still a long way off for me... Let's focus on the present first!"

"However... the fat shopkeeper wanting to sell the shop might be an opportunity for me!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked:

"Shopkeeper, have you found someone to take over?"

The fat shopkeeper shook his head helplessly after hearing this:

"It's not that easy. My shop still has two years left on the lease, and I also stocked up on a lot of medicinal herbs and pills recently..."

"The pills are easy to sell, but I need to find someone to take over those medicinal herbs. If I sell this shop and those herbs for less than three thousand spirit stones, I'll lose everything..."

The fat shopkeeper had no choice; there weren't many rogue cultivators who could come up with three thousand spirit stones in one go.

But he couldn't wait much longer; he had to sell it off as soon as possible, or it would be too late if he didn't go out and seek an opportunity to form his core...

After hearing this, Lin Chen silently considered it for a moment.

Three thousand spirit stones is indeed a large sum of money.

But this alchemy shop is quite large, and you can buy a batch of medicinal herbs at a low price... If you miss this opportunity, you may never come across it again.

Moreover, Lin Chen urgently needed to open a pill shop to cover up his actions and make things easier for himself.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen said:

"Shopkeeper, my master mentioned a few days ago that he wants to reopen the pill shop business... I wonder if you would be willing to part with the shop and transfer it to my master?"
