With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Gu Qing was genuinely tempted after hearing this. He needed to prepare talismans, even if it wasn't for earning spirit stones, he would still need some talismans to increase his means of survival.

However, a single mid-grade talisman costs several dozen spirit stones. This is for relatively cheap, niche mid-grade binding talismans. For offensive and defensive talismans, the price would be one or two times higher.

Cultivating one's own magic requires a considerable amount of time and mana, but talismans do not have this problem.

The talisman has a short activation time and consumes the mana stored in the talisman, so the user's own mana consumption is extremely low.

This is why everyone prepares several talismans when they engage in magical duels.

Seeing that Gu Qing was somewhat tempted, the green-robed cultivator further persuaded him, "If Brother Han performs well enough, he might even be able to join our Yan family as a son-in-law. At that time, it might even be possible to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The green-robed cultivator's words stirred the interest of many cultivators around him, but unfortunately, he only had his eye on Gu Qing.

It's just because Gu Qing is young enough that he has already reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining at such a young age. It's not impossible for him to reach the Foundation Establishment level in the future.

As for the others, although there were two at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, they were obviously much older, and even if they had truly reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they wouldn't have many more years to live.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's expression became even more excited, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really possible to become a live-in son-in-law of the Yan family?"

"Hehehe, that's natural. Of course, Brother Han has to perform well enough." The green-robed cultivator didn't dare to make a guarantee, after all, he himself didn't have the ability to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seeing the green-robed cultivator's enthusiasm, Gu Qing was finally persuaded and said frankly, "Then thank you very much for Brother Yan Yun's introduction."

"Hehehe, congratulations Brother Gu on entering Yan Family Fortress!"

"Yes, if you really achieve Foundation Establishment and become a senior in the future, don't forget about us."

"Exactly, you should come over here after you become a senior."

The group of rogue cultivators all offered their congratulations with kind words, and Yan Yun was overjoyed to hear that Gu Qing had agreed.

Then a trade fair was organized. The Qi Refining cultivator trade fair didn't have anything good; it mostly contained pills and talismans that they didn't need.

Gu Qing didn't participate much, appearing somewhat out of place. After all, his true cultivation level was only late-stage Foundation Establishment, so he looked down on these things.

However, during the trade fair, one fragment of a magical artifact still caught Gu Qing's attention.

"Old Xu, you've brought out your precious magic weapon fragments again. Are you planning to exchange them for a top-tier magic artifact this time?" someone nearby sneered.

The cultivator known as Old Xu was an old man at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. He wasn't angry when people talked about him, but calmly said, "This time I won't change to a top-grade magic weapon. I'll just change to a suitable high-grade magic weapon. My magic weapon fragment can penetrate anything. It's incredibly amazing."

"Penetrating anything?" Gu Qing became interested and took the magic weapon fragment to examine it. The fragment looked like a small piece from a jade tablet, but he didn't know what its specific function would be if it were completed.

Gu Qing handed the fragment of the magic weapon to Tieguai Li for a look. Tieguai Li examined it for a moment, then secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "There is a complete small array on this fragment of the magic weapon. It may contain something."

"Oh, so it's a fragment of a magical artifact with a secret. I never thought I, Gu Qing, would have such luck." Gu Qing felt a little strange, never expecting to receive such treatment as the protagonist.

Seeing Gu Qing's interest, Old Xu couldn't help but smile and ask, "Are you two interested in this magic weapon fragment? You can exchange it for a high-grade magic weapon."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun frowned and said, "Old Xu, you can't even grasp this magic weapon fragment after injecting magic power into it. What use is it? You actually want a high-grade magic weapon."

It turns out that this fragment of the magical artifact can penetrate any object, even the soul, as long as magic power is input into it. Therefore, once magic is injected into it, it will be impossible to grasp and control with one's divine sense.

It is indeed true that it is a useless thing.

"I don't care, it's only worth one top-grade magic artifact." Old Xu was a very stubborn person and refused to bargain.

After examining the artifact, Gu Qing and Tieguai Li confirmed that it contained something, so they decided to exchange it for the fragment.

After searching through his storage bag for a moment, Gu Qing took out a high-grade magic weapon flying sword, which he had obtained from several sect cultivators in the Yuanwu Kingdom.

Although these things were useless trash to Gu Qing, he didn't have the habit of carelessly discarding things.

Seeing the flying sword, Old Xu's face showed satisfaction, and he then asked, "Fellow Daoist Han, did you figure out what use this magic weapon fragment has? Why don't you demonstrate it for us?"

The surrounding cultivators looked over curiously, but Gu Qing shook his head and said, "What could I possibly see? I just collected them because I found them interesting."

Gu Qing brushed it off, naturally he couldn't possibly display the treasure in front of a group of people.

"Alright, the treasure now belongs to Fellow Daoist Han. Whatever treasures are inside is none of your business," Yan Yun said on behalf of Gu Qing.

The surrounding rogue cultivators secretly lamented their loss, for they had only ever heard of the power of magical treasures, never actually witnessed them.

And so, the exchange and trade fair came to an end, and Gu Qing and Tieguai Li followed Yan Yun to prepare to return to Yan Family Fort.

However, Yan Yun still needed to wait for a batch of medicinal herbs in the town at the foot of the mountain, so Gu Qing and Tieguai Li could only wait in the town for a few days.

Back in the courtyard, Gu Qing took out the fragments of the magical artifact and asked Tieguai Li, "Can you take out what's inside?"

"Of course, no problem." After taking the fragment of the magic weapon, Tieguai Li threw it on the ground. Then, Tieguai Li performed a magic trick of turning stone into gold for Gu Qing.

Jade is a type of stone, so it's not surprising that Tieguai Li could turn jade into gold.

Because the material changed, the array inside the jade became chaotic, and finally the coffin made of black stone appeared before them.

"It seems this isn't some fragment of a magic weapon, but more like a storage bag," Gu Qing said with a strange expression. He then slowly opened the Xuan Stone Coffin, revealing a crystal-clear object inside, within which was preserved the body of a woman.

The woman's face was crystal clear and frighteningly white, making her look like a cultivator who had been dead for a long time.

"What bad luck to get a corpse instead." Gu Qing thought it was something good.

Tieguai Li glanced at the woman. The fact that her body hadn't decayed despite being preserved for so long must have a story behind it. After examining her, he said, "This is the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator, preserved through special means. Perhaps a fellow Daoist could possess it."

Among the Eight Immortals, there is only one woman, He Xiangu. However, Gu Qing can only guide Han Xiangzi now. As for the other Eight Immortals, he will probably have to wait until his cultivation level improves before he can guide them.

We can't exactly give Han Xiangzi a woman's body.

"Hmm! That's not appropriate. Let's leave it as is and keep this body." Gu Qing shook his head and said.
