You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"This space is truly a treasure! With this, it won't be long before I can officially break through to the Body Refinement Realm." Chen Huai'an was overjoyed at this moment; everything he had sacrificed before was worthwhile.

An advanced body-refining pill and three spirit stones exceeding the low-grade level—this is a valuable fortune.

If he were to use it now to aid in cultivation, his strength would only increase to a limited extent.

However, if he were to use these pills and spirit stones to exchange for cultivation resources and then use them through the spirit gourd space, his strength would definitely increase to a terrifying level.

Chen Huai'an is currently facing a formidable enemy. In addition to lacking time for cultivation, he also lacks cultivation resources and techniques.

Before breaking through to the first level of Body Refinement, he doesn't need to supplement his cultivation techniques, but he does need a lot of cultivation resources to temper his meridians.

While both were breaking through to the first level of the Body Refinement Realm, he consumed several times, or even dozens of times, the cultivation resources required by ordinary people.

"Damn it, fortune favors the bold. I must make good use of this opportunity and exchange these resources for cultivation resources." After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Huai'an decided to take the risk.

With such limited resources, he wouldn't be able to finish his cultivation in a single day, and there were only three days left until the sect's assessment of his progress. At this rate, he was certain he wouldn't make it into the top three and would only be able to perform menial tasks day after day.

At that time, he couldn't possibly devote himself to cultivation wholeheartedly for the next few days.

In the end, the strong will only get stronger, and the weak will only get weaker, until they are eventually eliminated.

However, figuring out how to exchange these resources for the resources he needs requires careful planning; we can't be as reckless as before.

Having already faced a formidable enemy like Zhang Hu, he had no desire to provoke another powerful foe.

After a long while, Chen Huai'an still had no good solution. He decided to go out and see what was going on. If all else failed, he would keep the pills and spirit stones for his own cultivation.

Currently, Chen Huai'an lacks understanding of the Qingyun Sect, as well as the entire cultivation world.

In particular, he was unaware of some basic cultivation knowledge, and he didn't even know what grade the pills and spirit stones refined through the spirit gourd could reach.

Just like that spiritual spring water, it had such a good effect, but it was suddenly exposed and was targeted by someone with ulterior motives, causing him such a big trouble.

These menial disciples are not qualified to know the secrets of the cultivation world.

Although Chen Huai'an was a scholar from Huai Shu Village, he was a complete novice when it came to the world of cultivation, knowing absolutely nothing.

"Did you know that there is a trade fair held by outer disciples on Lingshu Peak? You can buy or exchange some cultivation resources there."

"Yes, I heard about it. It seems to be a trade fair organized by outer sect deacons, for the testing of newly initiated disciples."

"It's a pity we don't have any spirit stones. We can only watch helplessly at this trade fair."

"Just because you don't have spirit stones doesn't mean others don't. Besides, even if we can't buy anything at this kind of trade fair, we can still broaden our horizons."

……

As soon as Chen Huai'an stepped out, he heard several teenagers in the courtyard chattering away.

He immediately had an idea when he heard that Lingshu Peak would be hosting a trade fair.

He couldn't miss such a trade fair; it really was like the saying goes, "When you're sleepy, someone brings you a pillow."

He can use this trade fair to quickly sell off the cultivation resources he has.

Then, Chen Huai'an asked the group when the trade fair would be held, what they should pay attention to, and what preparations were needed.

The Lingshu Peak Trade Fair lasts for three days. You can barter or buy things with spirit stones, or even worldly gold and silver.

Chen Huai didn't have these worldly possessions, but the families of these newly recruited disciples had prepared quite a lot for them when they arrived at Qingyun Sect.

So when Chen Huai'an arrived at Lingshu Peak, he found that the place was even more lively than he had imagined, like a bustling market where ordinary people were going to the market.

To avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives, Chen Huai'an simply disguised himself. In addition, given his advanced age, many people assumed that he was an outer disciple who had been working as a menial servant in the Qingyun Sect for several years.

This market is located on a mountaintop of Lingshu Peak. Along the main road leading up and down the mountain, there are many stalls displaying a wide variety of goods, including many unusual items.

But most of the items were aged medicinal herbs, some weapons, and there were also quite a few people selling elixirs.

These vendors accept not worldly gold and silver, but spiritual stones.

It's a place that sells elixirs; they only accept spirit stones, not worldly gold and silver.

However, some medicinal herbs can be purchased with worldly gold and silver because these herbs are relatively young and do not yet reach the level of spiritual medicine.

Through observation, it was found that secular gold and silver circulated among these menial disciples and could be considered as hard currency.

Through his research, Chen Huai'an learned that gold and silver could also be exchanged for spirit stones, with a price of approximately 1,100 taels, which could be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone.

Unless the stall owner explicitly states that they only accept spirit stones, many people will choose to buy things with worldly gold and silver.

Although they were detached from worldly affairs, they still had an inseparable relationship with these menial disciples in the Qingyun Sect.

What Chen Huai'an didn't know was that there were also ordinary people living at the foot of Qingyun Sect's mountain.

"How much is this ginseng?" Chen Huai'an asked a vendor selling medicinal herbs.

Since he could buy things with silver notes, and he happened to have over a hundred taels on him, he would still buy anything he saw that was suitable.

"This ginseng is ten years old. If you want it, it'll cost ten taels of silver per plant," the stall owner said with a smile, glancing at Chen Huai'an.

This ginseng is less than ten years old and doesn't reach the level of a spiritual herb, but it can assist menial disciples in their cultivation at the Body Refinement stage. This stuff is also a highly sought-after resource.

"Ten years of medicinal age, these ginseng roots are only a few years old. Ten taels of silver per root is too expensive. Make it cheaper, I'll take them all," Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

When buying things, Chen Huai'an still likes to haggle, mainly because he is really too poor.

Finally, after some haggling, he bought two ginseng plants and two Ganoderma lucidum plants that were several years old from the stall for 120 taels of silver.

The Polygonatum planted in the purple gourd space is growing vigorously, and it changes every day. He doesn't want to miss this opportunity. He should transplant more medicinal herbs into the space. In time, they can definitely be cultivated into valuable spiritual herbs.

With these few medicinal herbs, even if he didn't gain anything else today, his trip wouldn't have been in vain.

During the transaction, Chen Huai'an was also observing his surroundings. The events of the previous two days were still fresh in his mind, and he did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

Transactions like this happen every moment at the trade fair; it's nothing to be tempted by.

However, caution is always the best policy, and we cannot afford to be careless.

At the trade fair, Chen Huai'an strolled around for a while. In reality, he was secretly observing and selecting stalls suitable for selling his wares.

Chen Huai'an didn't know the grade or price of the pill in his hand, but it wouldn't hurt to learn more about it.

Practice is the best way to learn. After observing for more than half an hour, he really learned a lot. The body-refining pill in his hand was not a medium-grade pill, but a high-grade pill.

A single high-grade Body Refining Pill can enhance the strength of even those in the late stages of the Body Refining realm.

Such a superior body-refining essence is absolutely unparalleled among the outer sect's menial disciples. It's a legendary existence, priceless and unavailable; even with spirit stones, you might not be able to buy it.

Such a pill appearing at this low-level trade fair would definitely cause a sensation.

For a moment, Chen Huai'an hesitated, wondering whether he should take out this pill for trade now.
