Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

After entering Thousand Peaks City, Lu Fan wandered around the city for a long time before finally finding a shop selling spirit beast bags. He spent nine hundred spirit stones to buy a spirit beast bag, plus two second-grade spirit beast pills.

This spirit beast bag is for carrying living creatures. It has a comfortable little space inside and is more complicated to manufacture than a storage bag, so it is slightly more expensive at 500 spirit stones.

The price of a second-grade spirit beast pill is also quite high, at two hundred spirit stones per pill. The reason it is so expensive is because the method of refining spirit beast pills is very different from the pills used by cultivators.

Cultivators refine pills with mild medicinal properties, making them suitable for human cultivators to absorb, but spirit beast pills are different.

Since spirit beasts are originally tamed from demon beasts, they are naturally stronger than human cultivators. Therefore, the materials they use are all made from rare materials with extremely potent medicinal and spiritual energy, which are naturally not cheap.

After transferring the Three-Eyed Raven into the Spirit Beast Bag, Lu Fan set off for the Myriad Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

Having finally managed to infiltrate Thousand Peaks City, I should at least gather most of the materials I need before making any moves.

Having finalized his plan, Lu Fan set foot in the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce for the second time. Just like the first time he came, the place was bustling with people.

"Senior, is this your first time visiting the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce?"

Sure enough, the voluptuous woman came over again, saying the same things as she had two years ago.

Lu Fan didn't hesitate and handed a piece of paper to the beautiful woman, saying, "I need some materials from the list urgently. Doesn't your Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce have an auction house and a pawn shop? Can you get them for me in a short time?"

The woman took the list, glanced at it, and was immediately shocked: "A fifth-tier wind-attribute demon core, a dark-attribute demon core, a molten-attribute demon core, a magnetic-attribute demon core, a fifth-grade calming pill, and a bottle of Creation Dew?"

"That's right, can you get it? Spirit stones are no problem," Lu Fan said.

The woman stared in disbelief for a long time before finally speaking: "Senior, a cultivator did indeed pawn a wind-attribute demon core at our Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce recently. As for fifth-grade calming pills, they are not hard to find. As for other fifth-grade demon cores, especially the Creation Dew, the Chamber of Commerce really has a hard time finding them."

Although Lu Fan knew two years ago that fifth-order demon cores were hard to come by, he had no other way to obtain them except through Thousand Peaks City, and besides, he couldn't go to the Misty Forest anymore.

Even if you go to the Misty Forest and encounter a fifth-tier demon beast, your identity will be 100% exposed once a fight breaks out.

It can be said that Lu Fan placed all his hopes on Thousand Peaks City.

"Alright, two it is. When can I get the demon core and the calming pill?" Lu Fan asked.

"The pawn period is three months. If that cultivator doesn't come to redeem the pawned item, it can be sold to you, senior. As for the Tranquilizing Pill, you can buy it at any time," the woman said.

"Okay, then I'll wait three months and buy them all at once then," Lu Fan nodded, turned and left the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce.

I plan to find an inn in Qianfeng City to rest for the time being.

Just as Lu Fan stepped out of the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce, a young cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage followed him out.

Lu Fan naturally sensed that someone was following him and suspected that he was being watched by the Sword Pavilion.

Just to be on the safe side, Lu Fan deliberately went into a quiet alley.

Sure enough, the young cultivator followed as well.

But just as the young cultivator entered the alley, he realized he had lost his way. He immediately looked surprised: "Huh? Strange, he's clearly at the tenth level of Qi Refining, how could I have lost him? Could it be that he used some kind of Qi Concealment technique?"

Just as the young cultivator was scratching his head in surprise, a sharp tungsten heart sword was already pressed against his back.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it a bit too arrogant of you to be following me so openly?" Lu Fan said in a deep voice.

Suddenly feeling a chill run down his back, the young cultivator was startled and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Senior! Senior, don't misunderstand! I'm not some evil cultivator who kills and steals treasures; I just want to do some business with you!"

"Hmph! We've never met before, what kind of business are we doing?" Lu Fan scoffed.

"I've been observing you at the Wanmeng Chamber of Commerce for a while now. Judging from your eagerness to obtain the materials needed for Core Formation, you must be a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert, right?"

"My name is Luo Yan, a cultivator from the Feng Kingdom. I have been doing business in Qianfeng City for many years. If you don't believe me, you can investigate in secret."

Luo Yan said slowly.

But Lu Fan didn't move the Tungsten Heart Sword, and asked, "So, you're looking for me because you need a fifth-tier demon core?"

"Hehe, not only fifth-order demon cores, but I can get everything you need, senior," Luo Yan chuckled.

"You? A Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage, how could you obtain a fifth-order demon core that even Core Formation cultivators might not be able to get?" Lu Fan was skeptical at this moment, and the Tungsten Heart Sword in his hand never left his hand for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Fan did not believe him, Luo Yan also looked helpless and said, "Senior, don't underestimate me. As the saying goes, cats have their ways and mice have their ways. I have my own set of methods that others can't think of."

Seeing that the other party was indeed no threat and spoke with great conviction, he then put away the Tungsten Heart Sword.

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned around, only then did Lu Fan see the other person's appearance.

He had a slick, oily face, with slightly upturned eyes that darted around quickly. He always looked at people with a half-smile, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

"Since it didn't come through the proper channels, it must have been quite expensive," Lu Fan asked.

"Hehe, I just heard a senior in the Chamber of Commerce say that spirit stones are not a problem. If I hadn't heard that, I wouldn't have approached you, a mere cultivator who appears to be at the 'Tenth Level of Qi Refining'," Luo Yan said with a smile.

"Stop beating around the bush and just tell me the truth. How many spirit stones does a fifth-tier demon core cost?" Lu Fan asked, standing with his hands behind his back.

Luo Yan slowly extended a finger and grinned.

Seeing this, Lu Fan was immediately shocked: "Ten thousand per stone? Do you think my spirit stones come from nowhere? Even at the highest auction price, it wouldn't cost six thousand!"

"Senior, I need to bribe quite a few people on this path, and I need to go to extremely distant places to purchase demon cores. The round-trip travel expenses alone are no less than five thousand spirit stones. If there is no sufficient profit, then wouldn't I be working for nothing?" Luo Yan said.

Lu Fan frowned, and after careful calculation, said, "If we add the Dew of Creation and the Mind-Stabilizing Pill, how many spirit stones would that cost?"

"Senior, I can't get my hands on the Dew of Creation, but I can offer you the Mind-Stabilizing Pill and the four types of demon cores you need. I'll charge you 43,000 spirit stones," Luo Yan said.

"Didn't you say you could get anything? How come you can't get the Dew of Creation?" Lu Fan asked.

"Don't worry, senior. Although I can't get it myself, I have clues. As long as you are willing to spend some time, you will definitely be able to get it," Luo Yan said.

Lu Fan fell into deep thought. If what Luo Yan said was true, and he could get his hands on all the materials he lacked, then that would be incredibly lucky for him.

Especially with the Dew of Creation, once he gathers all these things, he won't have to worry at all.

He could definitely find a place to go into seclusion and break through to a higher realm.
