A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chaotic Star Sea, Kui Xing City

When Lin He and his three companions arrived at the bustling Tiandu Street, Nangong Wan suddenly spoke up, "Ruyin and I are going to buy some materials."

Xin Ruyin also said apologetically, "This time we're going to the outer sea, and we'll probably need to set up a lot of formations and purchase a lot of materials."

Nangong Wan had no interest in Snow Spirit Water or Heavenly Fire Liquid, while Xin Ruyin needed to purchase a lot of materials for setting up the array. So, after agreeing on a meeting time and place with Lin He, Nangong Wan took Xin Ruyin to another street.

Lin He didn't care about this, and acting alone suited his wishes better.

He glanced at the Dreamlike Pavilion floating in the air not far away, then at the six large shops in the plaza below, pondering to himself.

"That should be the Six-Hall Alliance. With several Core Formation stage cultivators stationed there, it should be considered a mid-level power in the Chaotic Star Sea. We should be able to buy Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid there. But before that, we should deal with the materials for that Blood Jade Spider first."

This Blood Jade Spider is a level four demon beast. Its hard abdominal shell can be used to make inner armor, the shells of other parts can be used to make shields, its spider legs can be used to make a set of throwing knife magic weapons, and the spider silk liquid inside its body can be used to make web-like magic weapons.

Lin He had already considered everything. He led the man in blue robes into a weapon-refining shop. The shop owner was a bald, burly man with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level. When he saw Lin He and the man enter, he did not come over to greet them immediately. Instead, he chatted happily with a beautiful woman who was also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A shop assistant at the Qi Refining stage approached with a fawning smile, asking, "Are you two seniors planning to refine weapons?"

Lin He nodded and said, "That's right, I have some demonic beast materials here, and I want to refine a top-grade magic weapon!"

"A top-grade magic artifact?" The Qi Refining stage shop assistant was clearly taken aback. He hadn't expected to encounter such a big customer, and naturally, the shop owner would have to personally attend to such a person.

The shop assistant quickly walked over to the bald, burly man and whispered a few words in his ear. Hearing Lin He's confident tone, the bald, burly man became very curious and hurried over, saying with some skepticism, "..."

"Are you truly capable of producing demonic beast materials of this quality?"

Not only the bald, burly man, but even the beautiful woman walked over with great curiosity. She looked to be only in her thirties, with a dignified demeanor, yet she exuded a charming allure, clearly having mastered the art of seduction.

The woman was indeed quite beautiful, but Lin He had Nangong Wan by his side, whose cultivation and appearance both surpassed that of the beautiful woman, so he was naturally unaffected. As for the man in blue robes, he was just a corpse, so he was even less affected.

The beautiful woman wasn't surprised to see that the man in blue robes was unaffected, after all, he was also at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. But Lin He was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he was unaffected by her seductive arts. She was greatly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Lin He a few times.

Lin He looked at the bald, burly man, said nothing, and directly took out a storage bag and handed it to him.

The bald, burly man was taken aback. He subconsciously took the storage bag, then probed it with his divine sense. His expression then became extremely interesting.

From initial indifference, to skepticism, and now to utter shock, the bald, burly man, after his initial shock, was filled with excitement and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"It's actually material from a spider demon beast. Judging by its grade, it's even a level four demon beast."

Upon hearing that the materials were from a level four demon beast, the beautiful woman beside him was also surprised. After all, Lin He's cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he was able to obtain level four demon beast materials equivalent to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She subconsciously looked at the blue-robed man beside her. In her opinion, Lin He's ability to obtain these materials must be due to this blue-robed man.

The bald, burly man clearly shared the same thought. He shifted his gaze to the man in blue robes and said very politely,

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Tiandu Street?"

Seeing that the bald, burly man was trying to get closer, the man in blue robes maintained a distant expression, seemingly unwilling to speak at all. Lin He, on the other hand, smiled and spoke up.

"My name is Lin He, and this is my senior brother Lan Chou. He is always very sparing with his words, so please forgive him, shopkeeper."

Lan Chou remained silent, which was considered an admission of Lin He's statement. The fact that a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was following the lead of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator surprised both the beautiful woman and the bald man. Only then did they realize that the two seemed to be led by Lin He, whose cultivation level was lower.

The beautiful woman was the first to react, and said in a clear, melodious voice, "I am Zhou Yuan of the Miaoyin Sect, and I greet Fellow Daoist Lan and Fellow Daoist Lin!"

The bald, burly man quickly replied, "My name is Ma Shangfeng. I have some expertise in weapon crafting and am quite well-known in Tiandu Street."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ma, don't underestimate yourself. Your weapon-refining skills are truly those of a master."

Ma Shangfeng chuckled, saying "You flatter me," but his smugness was undisguised.

Lin He glanced at Zhou Yuan and thought to himself, what a coincidence! He hadn't expected to run into Zi Ling's mother here, though Zi Ling probably hadn't been born yet.

Lin He glanced at them briefly, then turned his gaze to Ma Shangfeng. "I've come here to refine top-grade magic artifacts. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ma is satisfied with the quality of these materials?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

Ma Shangfeng laughed heartily, seemingly extremely happy. Seeing his reaction, Lin He realized that the person in front of him was probably also a weapon-forging fanatic.

Lin He felt more at ease with this kind of person. He directly stated his requirements, and Ma Shangfeng, as expected of a master weapon refiner, actually gave some sincere advice, which made Lin He nod in approval.

After agreeing that the remaining monster materials would be the payment, and setting a half-month deadline, Lin He handed over the monster materials to the other party.

Ma Shangfeng greeted the beautiful woman and then immediately went into the backyard to refine weapons with great enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Lin He stopped looking and prepared to go to the Six-Linked Palace to buy Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid.

As soon as Lin He and Lan Chou stepped out of the shop, Zhou Yuan immediately followed. She said somewhat apologetically, "I apologize for my intrusion, but does Fellow Daoist Lin have any other demon beast materials on him?"

"Hmm?" Lin He frowned upon hearing this, but Zhou Yuan quickly replied.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I only want to collect some materials from demonic beasts. If Fellow Daoist Lin has any other materials, I am willing to buy them all."

"Acquiring materials?"

At this point, Lin He suddenly remembered that the Miaoyin Sect seemed to be quite good at business. In the original story, Han Li had sold many level-five demon beast materials to the Miaoyin Sect.

Lin He has accumulated materials for eighteen complete level-five demon beasts. He originally intended to use Nangong Wan to gradually sell them, but now plans have changed. Nangong Wan is busy searching for high-level spirit stone mines and probably won't have time to help.

In that case, asking the Miaoyin Sect to sell these materials seems like a good idea.

Thinking of this, Lin He nodded in agreement. Zhou Yuan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and she quickly said,

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Lan, please follow me."
