Cultivation begins with harvest.

Chen Guang took out a large batch of Yu Yan Pills, Protective Meridian Pills, and other items, along with a palm-sized Yun Yan Crystal. He had acquired this refining material from the red peony a long time ago, but unfortunately, it hadn't been of much use. He was too busy refining pills to refine any other items, so he had no idea how to refine any other items. That's why he had the idea of ​​selling it.

This piece of Flame Crystal was worth more than 5,000 taels of silver, which was more than 1,000 taels of silver more than the Burning Heart Stone that was sold later. With the addition of various pills, it eventually yielded more than 14,000 taels of silver.

Chen Guang immediately obtained the second-level "Mountain Pattern Eastern Box Token", which allowed him to purchase all available spiritual items in the shops run by the Zhao family at a 5% discount.

He then bought a necklace storage artifact that was only one square meter in size and a storage artifact that looked like a water bag with a square space, spending more than seven thousand coins.

Without responding to the enthusiasm of the shop's servants and appraisers, Chen Guang left directly.

If it weren't for the Qingheng Sect's control over storage spirit artifacts, I wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble. In terms of the quality and completeness of the spirit items, it would be difficult for the Zhao family's Dongdu Market to compete with the Qingheng Sect. Another drawback of the Xingfeng Market's Ziling Pavilion is that the precious spirit items are rotated every ten years, and it takes ten years for them to be fully displayed. When there is an urgent need in between, one has to go to these scattered cultivator markets to collect them.

The sect's intentions were also clear: first, to offer benefits to these independent cultivator families; and second, to allow sect disciples to leave the sect and gain some experience.

Chen Guang, wearing a silk mask, swayed left and right in the crowd. When the time was right, he removed the mask and clothing and blended into the crowd, returning to the inn where he had started to wait for Wan Longjing. Perhaps the Zhao family had no intention of following him, but Chen Guang was willing to go through the trouble.

Wan Longjing returned as night deepened. The two went back to their room at the inn and verified the authenticity of Zhao Qiushi's identity.

"But are the cultivators from the Sharp Ridge Outpost really in this place?" Wan Longjing unfolded a map and pointed to the edge of Dongdu Plain. "This is where the mortals of the Zhao family live. The guards are naturally not as strong as those in the market, but there are many people and they are all family members. It would be even more difficult for ordinary people to sneak in."

"I don't know. He said we can go and take another look tomorrow morning, and then decide." Chen Guang still had some pills to improve his cultivation to gain the other party's trust. Improving cultivation has always been one of the temptations that cultivators find hard to resist. With the help of other spiritual objects and artifacts, and if that doesn't work, there are all sorts of secret techniques. If even this can't move the other party, then Chen Guang really has no other choice.

The sect did not have any Qinmu Juice, which put Chen Guang in a difficult position.

This is not an isolated case. In terms of efficacy, there are several substitutes for Qinmu juice, some with better effects and some with lower prices. However, for Huang Cheng to transform, it is necessary to use Qinmu juice. Rather than Qinmu juice, it is more accurate to say that it contains a special substance that Chen Guang himself cannot figure out. Unless a spiritual plant master can be found to provide him with a sufficient amount of Qinmu juice, he may not be able to discover what the unique substance in Qinmu juice is.

The Qingheng Sect should not lack this substance, but Chen Guang could not be sure what it actually was.

The cost of seeking out a plant spirit master to fulfill such a request may be greater than the cost of finding the seller oneself.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two went to sleep.

The next morning, the two arrived at the restaurant. Zhao Qiushi and Zhao Li had been waiting for them in the lobby for a long time. After a very polite greeting, they invited the two to a private room on the second floor.

"I believe that once you see this man, you'll be able to believe that what I said is true." Zhao Qiushi confidently opened the door to the private room, revealing a young man sitting inside who was raising his wine glass to Chen Guang.

Chen Guang and Wan Longjing looked surprised. This person was the Zhao family cultivator who had been guarding the entrance of the weapon-refining pavilion yesterday.

"I can testify that what Brother Qiushi said is true. As for why, I don't think I need to say more." The young man poured himself a drink and then explained a few words. "Master Zhao doesn't have that much time to meddle in those other people's business, and that guy also has to keep track of the progress of the weapon forging. So, I naturally saw all of this."

Zhao Qiushi and Zhao Li had already closed the door and sat down inside.

"Now you should tell me what you want, right?" Chen Guang didn't relax; instead, his tone became somewhat serious. "Before, I thought you were after money, but now I think that's not the case."

The young man coughed and said, "I don't know what their requirements are. My requirements are very simple: I want a spiritual weapon, a high-quality spiritual weapon that can greatly increase my strength. Ordinary spiritual weapons... I don't care about them."

Zhao Qiushi said, "I want my senior brother to help me purchase a formation inheritance within the sect. The quality must be good, and I can pay for it. This shouldn't be too difficult within the Qingheng Sect, right? But here, it's too hard to find a suitable one. The inheritances held by independent cultivators are either incomplete or just duplicate content with a different name. I've had enough."

"You gave me the address in advance, aren't you afraid I won't agree to your demands?" Chen Guang crossed his arms, sat back straight, and scrutinized the two men with a rather impolite look.

"We believe in the Qingheng Sect." Zhao Qiushi's words were heartwarming.

"Without the protection and assistance of our Zhao family cultivators, do you think you can enter the residential area of ​​mortals?" The young man's words were reassuring.

In truth, Chen Guang still had some doubts in his heart. Why were the two so sure that he could fulfill their requirements? He was not the only Qingheng Sect disciple looking for a seller of Qinmu Juice. For now, he could only bury this doubt in his heart.

Chen Guang unleashed a needle-shaped magical artifact that resembled a red-hot charcoal.

"The Cotton Fire Needle is a low-grade spiritual weapon. Since you work in the weapon refining pavilion, you should be able to tell the quality of this spiritual weapon. This is a fine piece that I finally managed to obtain, and I haven't even had a chance to refine it myself yet."

The young man immediately dropped his wine glass, excitedly grabbed it, and then carefully pinched it between two fingers, examining it repeatedly and scrutinizing it closely. Fearing Chen Guang might change his mind, he quickly tucked it into his pocket, chuckling and slapping his thigh: "Hey, well, I'll wait a bit. Shouldn't I go ask the guards there to make things easier for you, and we can leave now?"

"Fellow Daoist Qiu Shi's request can only be fulfilled after I return to the sect. In the meantime, shall we draw up a written agreement?" Chen Guang asked. "By the way, my name is Chen Guang, and this is my senior brother, Senior Brother Wan."

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Wan," Zhao Qiushi said, unfolding his folding fan, "In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

The two then signed a written agreement.

They chatted happily, but Wan Longjing secretly transmitted his voice to him, saying, "Junior brother, the price you paid for just one piece of information is considerable. When you get there, I'm afraid that person will demand an exorbitant amount."

"When asking someone for a favor, it's always the same: just take it one step at a time."

Having each benefited, they naturally did not linger and headed together to the residential area of ​​the Zhao family's mortals.
