Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Su Chen strolled leisurely through the main hall.

Looking around, I noticed that none of the disciples who usually served in the main hall were present.

This is enough to show that Master Yunmeng intended for these people to step down ahead of time.

Most likely, this old guy thought he was going to discuss something shady.

Haha, how could that be?

The reason Su Chen came to pay his respects to this senior master so early in the morning was because...

It wasn't for any other reason than wanting to leave the sect for a while.

However, based on previous observations...

I reckon most of these old folks don't want to go out on their own.

For a Mahayana cultivator to be watched by a sect's supreme elder is indeed an honor.

But as a disciple that Li Changfeng brought up from the lower realm.

They did receive special attention.

In addition, his marriage to the saintess has not yet taken place.

In Yunmeng's eyes, Su Chen was Li Changfeng's true disciple.

Naturally, keeping Su Chen is the same as keeping Li Changfeng.

Unfortunately, his calculations were only so-so.

After all, back in Qingzhou, Li Changfeng abandoned Su Chen and wandered around for a long time.

As for Su Chen, he was unfamiliar with the Spirit Realm, but he enjoyed good food and drink and had endless opportunities in the sect.

Naturally, they didn't want to leave.

"I am currently refining elixirs, but I am missing a few key ingredients."

Su Chen cupped his hands in greeting...

Alchemy?

Pooh!

What kind of pill can you refine?

Su Chen had never studied alchemy.

It's just an excuse.

If you don't go to the cultivation city in the spirit realm, how will you find a good weapon refiner?

Moreover, the rare and precious materials in the spirit world are naturally beyond imagination.

Seek out more of the world and look for opportunities.

When will I be able to make progress in my cultivation...?

"I would like to ask my master to allow me to go down the mountain and search for alchemy shops in the city."

Master Yunmeng didn't even raise his head.

"Just medicinal materials."

"The herbal garden within the sect has everything. Just give me a prescription, and you can take whatever you want."

These words left Su Chen speechless.

The excuse failed.

The lone lamp in the corner of the hall flickered, its light swaying before settling back down.

Su Chen wasn't in a hurry. After thinking for a moment, he decided to speak his mind.

"To be honest, Master."

"Although my natal spirit sword has been reconnected, it was ultimately forged by myself, and the sword base is mixed. It lacks a true master weapon refiner to reforge it."

"The craftsmanship of the Zongnei Equipment Hall... is still lacking."

Master Yunmeng then raised his eyes and stroked his long beard.

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Since joining the sect, this disciple has made a series of meritorious contributions.

The battle between good and evil was surprisingly disrupted by a disciple who was only at the Void Refinement stage.

This is enough to show that this child's future is immeasurable.

Such methods will surely make one a powerful and influential figure in the future.

Therefore, they naturally wanted Su Chen to live more comfortably within the sect.

So even if we don't target Li Changfeng, we should still give this kid some face.

Gaining experience isn't necessarily a bad thing...

"Pass to Juque City".

"That city is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including both righteous and demonic individuals."

"Your cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, so be more discreet."

A token shot out, and Su Chen raised his hand to block it with his spiritual power.

"I understand."

...

The sea of ​​clouds surged, and the flying boat sped by.

This is certainly not a sect's flying boat.

After all, he was just a true disciple, only going out for a stroll.

If it were to be used as a spirit boat for a sect, that would indeed be a pipe dream.

Even when the Supreme Elder goes out on ordinary days, unless it's something that requires him to show his face, he doesn't do it.

They would never make a spirit boat.

Flying only a few dozen miles requires a large amount of spirit stones.

At first, Su Chen thought he would have to use his teleportation technique to fly for several days.

As a result, after being led by a disciple, I learned that there were special spirit boats that traveled between various cultivation cities.

Only a small amount of spirit stones is required.

When it comes to spirit stones, Su Chen certainly has no shortage of them.

After all, the tens of millions of spirit stones in the lower realm were originally intended to be used to do some big business.

I never got around to it.

They were all kept in their hands.

Juque City...

Su Chen had previously heard Cheng Mo's fellow disciples gossip that Juque was not just one city.

Seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that the rumors were absolutely true.

Two stone peaks stand facing each other between heaven and earth, resembling an ancient gate, with a bottomless rift valley running between them.

Milky white spiritual mist swirls in the valley all year round.

The city, suspended in the fog, is quite a magnificent sight.

The monks walked on the bridge, with a bottomless abyss beneath their feet.

...

The three-story attic was exceptionally elegant.

If cultivators from the lower realms were to see it, they would believe it to be a celestial palace.

Who would have thought that this was just a teahouse?

As for the price...

Su Chen originally thought that the cost of spirit stones here would be considerable.

The result was ridiculously cheap.

It's not even as expensive as the tea shops in Luoyan City.

In this city, live a life of extravagance and debauchery.

With the spirit stones Su Chen currently possesses, he could squander them for a hundred years without any problem.

I just ordered a pot of spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist, you have excellent eyesight."

A voice came from the next table.

The newcomer was a young cultivator at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm.

"The ripples in your cup of tea don't seem to be caused by the spirit tea itself."

Speaking of which, this guy is quite outgoing; he somehow managed to end up at Su Chen's table.

"My name is Cheng Mo."

"A native of Juque City, specializing in the cultivation of divine sense."

Su Chen glanced at him.

A cultivator who specializes in cultivating divine sense.

Those who specialize in this path in the spirit world are already rare.

After all, they are not good at the art of killing.

In the world of cultivation, most people would find it difficult to protect themselves.

However, there are also advantages, namely, it greatly benefits one's cultivation breakthrough.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng's eyes are sharper than others'."

Cheng Mo gave a wry smile, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"What's the use of being sharp?"

"My family values ​​killing and violence over spiritual abilities, saying that my skills are just for show and are useless."

Su Chen clearly heard the frustration in those words.

But he secretly made a mental note of it... This local who knew the place well but was not well-liked was exactly the kind of person who needed a way in.

He was the perfect person to lead the way.

The two got along quite well after a few exchanges.

Although Cheng Mo was not favored by his family, he was very well-informed.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from out of town?"

Cheng Mo lowered his voice.

"Perfect timing."

"The secret chamber in the city is going to hold a treasure exchange event in a couple of days."

Su Chen paused for a moment while holding the teapot.

"A treasure exchange event?"

"A grand gathering for cultivators to exchange rare and precious materials."

Cheng Mo moved closer.

"Don't ask about the origin, only the value."

"Whether your thing is stolen, robbed, or passed down from your ancestors, as long as someone is interested in it, we can trade it."

Su Chen laughed heartily.

I figured there must be some kind of auction house or similar place.

I have enough spirit stone resources of my own.

But upon closer inquiry, it turns out the auction house does indeed have them.

However, when it comes to the scarcity of these treasures...

But it can't compare to this grand event.

Bartering, that does have some merit...

"Will I be able to go now?"

"If you trust me, I will take you inside."

...

The hidden pavilion is located on the waist of the western peak, but inside the door lies a completely different world.

When Su Chen followed Cheng Mo inside, there were already thirty or forty cultivators gathered there.

Each exhibitor displayed their collection, and the buzzing of bargaining created a chaotic scene.

Su Chen found a corner, took out a few pieces of meteorite iron from his storage ring, and placed them on the stone platform in front of him.

The meteorite was entirely dark and heavy, faintly radiating starlight; it was of excellent quality.

Before long, people gathered around.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to exchange this batch of meteorite iron?"

An arrogant voice came from outside the crowd.

...
