Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

Tianxingzong Market is much larger than Tainan Valley Market.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are not uncommon here, flying ostentatiously above everyone's heads on magical artifacts.

They were afraid others wouldn't know they were here.

After glancing at it twice, Wang Xuan paid little attention and began searching for the plaque for "Yunxiao Pavilion" on each building.

I wonder if Qi Yunxiao has settled here now, and Xin Ruyin has too.

If he is not currently there, he will have to wait several years to come back and visit.

After searching around, Wang Xuan found a weapon-refining pavilion, not an array-making pavilion.

This weapon-refining pavilion is called "Shenxiao Pavilion," which seems to have been created by taking one character each from the names of Qi Yunxiao and Shenbingmen.

Upon entering, Wang Xuan saw a boy about his own age studying a book.

Not far away, an elderly man sat drinking hot tea, resting with his eyes closed.

knock knock!

Wang Xuan knocked on the door twice, and the boy jumped up and ran to Wang Xuan.

"Brother... senior, may I ask what you need? We have top-tier magical artifacts for sale here."

"I was so engrossed in my book that I didn't notice your presence, senior. I hope you won't mind."

Qi Yunxiao saw a boy, not much older than himself, walk in.

He was filled with joy as he prepared to sell the magical artifacts crafted by his grandfather.

But after he sensed Wang Xuan's cultivation level, his expression changed, and he bowed respectfully.

Wang Xuan waved his hand, his gaze passing over Qi Yunxiao and looking at the old man.

"Fellow Daoist, do you sell top-tier water-attribute magic artifacts here?"

Old Master Qi, who is also Qi Yunxiao's grandfather, had already opened his eyes when Wang Xuan arrived.

A pot of fresh tea had already been brewed for Wang Xuan.

"Hehe, this is the Weapon Refining Pavilion, so there should be something that you might be interested in."

This old man Qi had the air of someone who might be buried at any moment; his whole body was filled with the signs of old age.

But the other party's radiant spirit made Wang Xuan take notice.

This person seems to be someone who has a clear understanding of life!

Old Qi took out several wooden boxes from the shelf, about five in total.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that it was full of top-tier magical artifacts!

Beads, flags, precious swords, sharp blades, jade bracelets—everything was there!

The quality of that bead looks similar to that of a water element bead, except that its color is a bit darker.

The flag is decorated with a lifelike water dragon, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

The precious sword and the sharp blade are nothing special; they are simply made of hard enough material to cut people!

Based on the patterns on the final jade bracelet, Wang Xuan could roughly deduce that its purpose was to trap enemies.

Wang Xuan's insight was entirely due to the teachings of Huang-Lao in Tainan Valley.

Elder Huang is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has lived for over a hundred years.

His study contained a vast collection of books, and he spent three years reading only most of them.

Wang Xuan clicked his tongue. He really wanted all these top-tier magic artifacts, but he didn't have enough spirit stones on him.

However, it seems that Xin Ruyin has not yet met Qi Yunxiao, or perhaps she has already met him but Wang Xuan has not noticed.

"I possess a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, the value of which you know well. I wonder how many magical artifacts I could exchange for it?"

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, he clearly caught a flash of joy on Qi Yunxiao's face and quickly looked at his grandfather.

Old Master Qi certainly noticed Qi Yunxiao's excited expression.

Qi Lao glanced at Wang Xuan discreetly and saw that the other man's expression was somewhat amused, so he sighed inwardly.

Well then, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, and this old body of mine doesn't need to keep struggling anymore.

"Millennial spiritual herbs are priceless and unavailable. Since you are willing to exchange such precious spiritual plants for them, it is truly my good fortune."

How about this, fellow Daoist, you can exchange it for four other top-grade magic artifacts besides the 'Tanjiao Flag'.

This Dragon Banner was crafted from the bones of a fourth-order pseudo-dragon, making it a top-grade magic weapon. Even for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would be of great assistance.

"Of course, if you wish to obtain the Dragon-Dragon Banner, I can also allow you to choose another magical artifact. What do you think?"

Wang Xuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He stretched out his hand and grasped the Dragon Pool Flag in his grasp.

After carefully examining the situation, Wang Xuan nodded slightly.

This Dragon Flag is indeed a very high-grade magical artifact.

It's a pity it didn't reach the legendary level, otherwise its power would be comparable to a Core Formation level talisman!

Seeing that Wang Xuan seemed quite satisfied with the Tanjiao Flag, Qi Lao began to explain it in detail.

"The soul of a fourth-order pseudo-dragon is sealed inside this dragon flag. Once activated, it can be summoned to assist in battle."

Although it was only a pseudo-dragon soul and its existence time was relatively short, its combat power was genuinely at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!

"With your current cultivation level, obtaining this magic artifact is a great help."

According to Master Qi's explanation, this magical artifact is used to summon the spirit of a pseudo-dragon to aid in battle.

This is somewhat similar to the "Azure Dragon Flag" of the Lu family disciple from Yellow Maple Valley; both are used to seal the souls of demonic beasts to assist cultivators in battle.

But this dragon flag is not the best solution for me.

He prefers auxiliary treasures, such as Water Element Beads that amplify the power of spells.

After putting the Tanjiao Flag back into the wooden box, Wang Xuan put the remaining magical artifacts into his storage bag.

The spiritual medicine containing the thousand-year-old spiritual plant was also handed over by Wang Xuan to Elder Qi.

Old Qi opened the jade box, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Old Qi nodded slightly; it was indeed a precious medicinal herb that had been stored for a thousand years.

After resealing the wooden box and putting it into his storage bag, Elder Qi continued, "I wonder if you need anything else, friend?"

Wang Xuan remained silent, looking around the store, and stopped as he passed a bookshelf.

"I didn't expect you to be a scholar, with so many books on your shelves."

Old Qi chuckled upon hearing this, saying nonchalantly, "When people get old, they get tired of scheming and fighting."

"Leaving the sect, finding a quiet place to open a small shop, drinking light tea and reading books on a daily basis, would be a wonderful thing."

Wang Xuan nodded, somewhat agreeing, and said, "Fellow Daoist is quite magnanimous. I observe that your grandson's aptitude is also quite good, and he will still have a chance to form his core in the future."

"However, the lack of resources for cultivation remains a significant obstacle on the path of cultivation."

Old Qi sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly."

"Fellow Daoist, you look so young, yet you speak in such a roundabout way."

Such maturity is something I've rarely encountered in my entire life; today I've finally met one.

This message was transmitted from Elder Qi to Wang Xuan, so Qi Yunxiao was unaware of the encrypted conversation between them.

Wang Xuan replied to Elder Qi: "Fellow Daoist is joking. What would you think if I directly stated my purpose?"

All I need are some books and notes on learning weapon crafting techniques.

In return, after you pass away peacefully, I, Wang, will protect you, my junior, and ensure your safety.

Of course, I won't take your weapon-refining experience for nothing. I guarantee that within three years, I will give your grandson another thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

"This deal seems like a sure thing for you, fellow Daoist. Would you like to consider it?"

After meeting Elder Qi, Wang Xuan decided against pursuing Qi Yunxiao's weapon-forging techniques.

The other party's skills were inherited from his grandfather, the old man Qi.

Why doesn't he just ask this person for it directly? Besides, Qi Yunxiao's talent is not bad either.

With two spiritual roots, even if he can't break through to the Core Formation stage, he'll definitely be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Not to mention the buy-one-get-one-free offer, and more importantly, the couple's character is considered exceptional in the cultivation world.

Qi Yunxiao is simple and honest, and can be a good friend. He is not the kind of person who would forget kindness.

Although Xin Ruyin was a bit too sensitive, she was also a kind and considerate person.

As for these two talented individuals, there's no need for him to harm them and upset himself.
