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

"Young man, would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can immerse your mind in this jade slip and you'll see if what I said is true." The middle-aged man became a little impatient when he saw Chen Huai'an's doubts.

These top-grade body-refining pills are rare treasures, even within the sect itself. And even if they were available, they wouldn't be something for menial disciples like us to enjoy; only the most outstanding outer and inner disciples would be qualified to have them.

Furthermore, this Body Refining Pill is only useful for low-level cultivators. Once you reach the Qi Refining Realm, even the highest grade Body Refining Pill won't be of much use.

These menial disciples have all reached the late stage of Body Refinement. Previously, they had only consumed low-grade and mid-grade Body Refinement Pills. They were not qualified to enjoy high-grade Body Refinement Pills. Now that they have high-grade Body Refinement Pills, it is enough to help them advance their cultivation further.

Moreover, this time, Chen Huai'an took out two pills. If used well, breaking through to the ninth level of the late stage of Body Refinement Realm would not be too difficult.

Therefore, no matter what the cost, he must obtain these two high-grade body-refining pills today.

"Alright, as long as this thing is really useful to me, I'll trade with you." As Chen Huai'an spoke, he immersed his mind into one of the jade slips.

This jade slip is indeed as the other party said; it is a complete guide to low-level spiritual plants, recording their growth environment, effects, and how to identify them.

This item still has some value to Chen Huai'an.

Yes, it can only have some value, not to the point of being indispensable.

The other jade slip was a broken one, which contained a martial art called the Blazing Sun Blade Technique, and it was incomplete.

The information recorded on the two jade slips was not much different from what the other party had said.

"What you said is fine, but the value of this jade slip is probably not worth twenty high-grade spirit stones. If you want to exchange it, I can only exchange it for a high-grade body-refining pill at most." Chen Huai'an said calmly, holding the jade slip in his hand.

Both jade slips were useful to him and were things he wanted, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to give the other party two high-grade body-refining pills.

"I know this thing isn't worth twenty high-grade spirit stones, but these two high-grade body-refining pills are really useful to me. If you're willing to trade, you can pick three more items from my stall besides these two jade slips." The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth as he looked at Chen Huai'an.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huai'an looked at the stall again, examining the items on it, and said, "I don't like what you have here. If you have other pills or medicinal herbs, I can complete the transaction with you."

"I don't have any pills, but I also don't have any medicinal herbs here. If you're willing, I'll trade you this Flame Talisman." Seeing that Chen Huai'an was unmoved, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

"Flame Talisman?" Chen Huai'an looked interested.

Talismans are treasures that only immortal masters at the Qi Refining Realm can craft and use. They generally don't fall into the hands of outer sect servants.

A low-grade, first-level talisman can instantly kill a cultivator in the Body Refinement Realm.

This thing can really save your life.

This middle-aged man wouldn't have brought out such a good thing if he hadn't been forced into it.

"Deal." Chen Huai'an wasn't the type to be indecisive; since this stuff was useful to him, he should prepare some.

Especially now, he is surrounded by powerful enemies. The Zhang family and the Zhao family are probably plotting some insidious schemes to kill him. If he had this Flame Talisman, he would have an extra means to protect himself.

Chen Huai'an quickly completed the transaction with the middle-aged man.

Two jade slips and a low-grade first-tier flame talisman—his haul for tonight was quite good.

After completing the transaction, Chen Huai'an did not linger at the trade fair. He needed to go back and properly digest these valuable items.

While his cultivation level cannot be broken through in a short period of time, his strength can be improved by cultivating martial arts techniques.

The martial arts used by immortals are definitely different from those used by mortals.

Next, whether it's the challenge among the menial disciples or the conflict with the Zhang and Zhao families, without some means of self-preservation, fighting will be like that of a brute, only knowing how to punch and kick, which is completely useless.

Like talismans that only immortals can use, this thing looks like just a piece of paper, but such a piece of paper contains terrifying energy that can injure even a master in the late stage of body refinement.

There was another reason why Chen Huai'an was willing to complete this transaction: he wanted to see if his talisman would evolve into a high-grade fire talisman if placed in his spatial storage.

A high-grade flame talisman can kill a powerful expert in the late stage of the Body Refinement Realm.

After storing the talisman in his spatial storage, Chen Huai'an didn't remain idle. Instead, he took out the two jade slips to study.

In particular, the Complete Guide to Spirit Plants contains a lot of low-level spirit plants. If he memorizes it, he won't be like a complete idiot who knows nothing about spirit plants.

"This Complete Guide to Basic Spirit Plants only records some common spiritual plants. This thing should be used by outer sect disciples for cultivation. It focuses on how to cultivate and grow these spiritual plants, including the cultivation techniques of spiritual valleys. There are so many intricacies to managing spiritual valleys." Chen Huai'an frowned after reading the Complete Guide to Basic Spirit Plants.

This thing isn't actually that valuable.

In particular, the jade slip mentioned how to care for the spirit grains and how to deal with pests and diseases. He didn't encounter those problems when planting spirit grains in his space. He only needed to irrigate with spirit spring water and remove the weeds from the field.

Although it wasn't very useful, I still taught him how to determine the age of a medicinal herb.

For example, the identification and cultivation techniques of common medicinal materials that replenish qi and blood, such as ginseng and lingzhi.

"The Polygonatum sibiricum I planted in my space is fifty years old! That's considered a spiritual herb. Even the ginseng I planted later is thirty years old." Chen Huai'an looked at the medicinal herbs he planted in his space and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Now, the medicinal herbs in this space can no longer be called medicinal herbs, but rather spiritual medicines.

In particular, that Polygonatum plant is the earliest one planted, and now it is fifty years old and has medicinal value.

The spiritual plants in the space can accelerate their growth.

Chen Huai'an had already confirmed this.

As for the Flame Talisman that had been left in the space overnight, it did not advance directly to a first-grade high-quality talisman as Chen Huai'an had expected.

Chen Huai'an should have been mentally prepared for this.

Since he had placed weapons like daggers in his space, but they hadn't been upgraded, this talisman probably wouldn't work either.

However, the five-colored golden pheasant he raised also grew rapidly in the space, which was somewhat unexpected for Chen Huai'an.

As for the five-colored golden pheasant that Chen Huai'an bought at the trade fair, it also cannot enter the space, which makes Chen Huai'an somewhat regretful. Otherwise, it would be perfect if it could enter.

Since he couldn't get in, he couldn't keep it at his place. When he went down the mountain to fetch water, he found a deserted spot and killed the golden pheasant.

It wasn't convenient to cook the five-colored pheasant in the yard, so he secretly cooked it outside.

"You can smell it, right? It's the smell of a golden pheasant. Someone's actually stealing it here." Just then, a soft exclamation came from not far away, and two young men who had been peeking around walked towards where Chen Huai'an was.
