Mortal: Starting from replicating everything in Maple Valley

Outside the market.

Fang Mu removed the yellow monkey mask from his head.

He glanced behind him, but no one was following.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took out a green monkey mask.

They plunged headlong into the bustling market once again.

He wasn't greedy; he would fire a shot and then move on to another location.

Fearing attracting attention, they would often only take out a few bottles of pills from one customer, feigning regret and making up various excuses.

Over the course of several days, it went unnoticed.

He sold all the pills he had.

They also took the opportunity to sell off all the magical artifacts, pills, talismans, and other items they had obtained from Wang Meng and Liu Lin.

In this way, he exchanged them for the spirit stones he desperately needed.

Then they replicated and sold the pills, repeating the process.

Several days have passed.

He had more than three thousand spirit stones on him.

He swallowed elixirs and began his cultivation.

A year later, he returned to the 10th level of Qi Refining and broke through the barrier.

Arrive at Wanbaolou in Huangfeng Valley Market.

In the study on the second floor, I met Manager Tian Buli again.

However, this time his attire and face were completely different from the last time.

Therefore, Manager Tian did not recognize him.

This time, the imposter is an alchemist with a master's lineage, acting on behalf of his sect.

He took out more than 300 bottles of replicated pills.

He only spent a little over a thousand spirit stones to replicate these pills.

In return, they received a golden brick talisman worth three thousand spirit stones.

And a complete set of magical artifacts, the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade, worth six hundred spirit stones.

He carried two powerful weapons.

We left Wanbaolou.

Wanbaolou, just as the manager said, has a good reputation.

Once outside, they were not followed.

In the original story, Han Li was much more generous than him.

Two ancient medicinal herbs were produced at once.

It's important to understand that resources are severely scarce in the mortal world.

Herbs that are hundreds of years old are treasured by Golden Core cultivators.

Herbs aged for thousands of years can make even a Nascent Soul-level ghost turn red with envy.

Moreover, things are valued for their rarity, and medicinal herbs that have been around for thousands of years are rare in the Yue Kingdom.

This makes the two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs extremely valuable, exceeding six or seven thousand spirit stones in total, yet they are still priceless and unavailable for sale.

However, they were not followed by Wanbaolou.

He still had more than two thousand spirit stones on him.

Fang Mu flew towards the direction of Yellow Maple Valley.

As soon as I stepped outside the market, I ran into a streak of light, and inside was a familiar face.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you're shopping at the market too?"

Fang Mu greeted Han Li with a warm smile.

"It's Fellow Daoist Fang. Hey, I'm just preparing for Foundation Establishment. Although I received a Foundation Establishment Pill through the Ascension Conference, with my aptitude, the hope of breaking through with just one pill is slim."

"Isn't the Blood Forbidden Trial starting in six months? I'm preparing to participate and try my luck at reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, so I'm here to buy some personal treasures. Top-tier magic artifacts would be even better."

Han Li stayed in Master Ma's herb garden, living a secluded life and having few friends, Fang Mu being one of them.

Moreover, neither participating in the Blood Forbidden Trial nor purchasing top-tier magical artifacts are any shameful secrets.

"Alright, in that case, I wish Fellow Daoist Han a successful shopping trip."

Fang Mu smiled and did not choose to take out his replicas of the Heavenly Thunder Seed, Golden Light Brick Talisman, Mysterious Iron Flying Shield, and Golden Fuzi Mother Shield.

They watched Han Li's figure disappear at the entrance of the market.

Fang Mu flew slowly, seemingly waiting for something.

Not long after.

A whooshing sound came from behind.

It's Han Li.

At this moment, he looked worried and shook his head, as if things were not going well.

No wonder he was so frustrated; it was because he had just entered the Wanbaolou in the market.

He was very wealthy and said he had a lot of spirit stones.

However, the shopkeeper simply shrugged, indicating that there was no more stock.

Han Li was in a bad mood after failing to get what he wanted.

Seeing his worried expression, Fang Mu guessed everything without asking.

At that moment, Han Li was about to fly past him.

"Fellow Daoist Han, wait a minute. You look downcast; perhaps your shopping trip didn't go well?"

Fang Mu knowingly said:

"Unfortunately, I also need to participate in the Blood Forbidden Trial to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills. However, I happen to have some top-tier magic artifacts and talismans that I don't need. Would you like to consider them?"

Is this really true?

Han Li's worried expression vanished, and his eyes shone with hope as if he had grasped at a lifeline.

At this moment, he felt as if he had encountered a dead end, but then suddenly found a new path.

After all, he currently lacks top-tier magical artifacts and talismans, making him a mere underling in the Blood Forbidden Trial, with a high risk of perishing.

At this moment, obtaining a top-tier magical artifact, or even a more powerful talisman, would naturally be a cause for great joy.

Fang Mu didn't waste any words.

He directly took out the Thunderclap Blade, Golden Brick Talisman, and Mysterious Iron Flying Shield, which he had copied at a cost of 1500 spirit stones.

These items, if purchased directly, would cost nearly six thousand spirit stones.

Han Li saw many treasures that shimmered with spiritual light.

These treasures are of immense value; placed in a large shop like Wanbaolou, they would be considered the shop's crown jewels.

He was initially delighted, but then something occurred to him, and his expression turned sour, becoming embarrassed.

It's like finishing a meal but not having enough money to pay the bill.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I don't have enough spirit stones. May I ask if I can exchange them for some thousand-year-old medicinal herbs?"

Han Li asked cautiously, seemingly afraid of being rejected.

Fang Mu was just waiting for him to say that.

He encountered Han Li entering the market when he came out earlier.

He did not mention that he possessed many treasures.

Let him go in and face setbacks first, so he'll realize how rare and precious the treasure is.

After leaving the market, we bring this up again.

It's like offering an iced drink to someone in the desert who hasn't had water for three days, relieving their immediate crisis.

It served as a timely and helpful aid.

We've set up so many traps, haven't we been waiting for this moment?

After all, in the original text, Han Li cultivated medicinal herbs for a thousand years before he could exchange them for top-tier magical artifacts and talismans.

"Sure, but I need to check the quality and age of your thousand-year-old medicinal herbs first."

Fang Mu made a request.

Inspecting goods before a transaction is a perfectly normal requirement.

Han Li immediately took out two medicinal herbs with patterns on their surfaces and handed them to him.

One of them is a thousand-year-old honeysuckle, which is yin in nature and is suitable for women and those who cultivate yin-cold attributes, such as ice-water attribute and demonic attribute techniques.

One of them is a thousand-year-old Astragalus membranaceus, which is of the Yang nature and is suitable for men, as well as cultivators with Yang attributes, such as those with the metal and fire attributes.

Fang Mu brought up the matter of the thousand-year-old medicinal herb to Mr. Han, the wholesaler of AAA Golden Thunder Bamboo.

The main purpose was to treat Xin Ruyin, who was seriously ill, later on.

The honeysuckle, which grows for thousands of years, is perfectly suited to Xin Ruyin's constitution and is remarkably effective in controlling her illness.

And that thousand-year-old Astragalus membranaceus with its yang properties was not obtained for nothing.

He revised the "Golden Crow Burning the World Canon," and this medicinal herb will be of great use to his future cultivation.
