38: Buy the Qingyuan Sword!

Wei Zhou was in a dilemma, hesitating in his heart.

A Qingyuan Sword, a Medium Grade second-rank magical sword! And it was a wood-attributed magical sword that was extremely suitable for him!

Moreover, it had a tiny Life-Force Stone embedded within it! When the Life-Force Stone was reversed, it could cut a person's Lifespan!

The other Yuanqing Sword, a Medium Grade second-rank magical sword! But it was infinitely close to a Medium Grade second-rank magical sword!

It was crafted from several rare Materials such as Meteorite Profound Iron, Azure Yuan Bamboo, Yuan Wood Stone, Azure Wood Gold, and more!

It was also a magical sword extremely suitable for Wei Zhou!

Both swords had their own strengths, making it difficult for Wei Zhou to choose for a time!

......

After a long while, Wei Zhou made up his mind and spoke up!

"Fellow Daoist, I'll take this Qingyuan Sword!"

The Shop Assistant said with a beaming smile.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist! Please wait a moment!"

With that, the Shop Assistant quickly turned around and walked off to an unknown place!

But his joy was evident!

Selling a Medium Grade second-rank magical sword would allow him to draw a commission of nearly 100 Spirit Stones!

100 Spirit Stones! It wasn't a lot, nor was it too little, but for a Cultivator like him, who was at the sixth or seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, it was a small fortune!

Not long after, the Shop Assistant hurried back, his steps quick and urgent!

He greeted Wei Zhou.

"Fellow Daoist! Please follow me this way!"

With that, the Shop Assistant turned and led him towards the back of the shop!

......

Upon reaching the backyard,

The Shop Assistant led Wei Zhou into a room!

......

After the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn,

After completing the procedures, Wei Zhou, with the Qingyuan Sword at his waist, strode out of the Qi Bao Pavilion!

Stepping out of the Qi Bao Pavilion, Wei Zhou touched his Storage Pouch, which had suddenly become much flatter, having lost more than half of its Spirit Stones!

He sighed in his heart.

"Spirit Stones are really not durable!"

Just now, in the Qi Bao Pavilion, Wei Zhou had also bought a top-grade first-rank magical sword for Li Yawei.

It cost him a total of over 700, nearly 750 Spirit Stones!

Subsequently,

Wei Zhou tightly held Li Yawei's almost boneless, tender small hand!

He then turned to look back at the Qi Bao Pavilion behind him!

He lifted his foot and stepped into the surging crowd!

......

After the time it takes for two sticks of incense to burn,

Wei Zhou stood before a magnificent shop.

He looked up at the three large characters carved on the plaque above the door.

"Danding Pavilion!"

Danding Pavilion! One of the five dominant forces in the Zhao Country's Cultivation Realm!

(The five dominant forces are: Xuantian Sect! Binghuan Gate! Danding Pavilion! Qi Bao Pavilion! Hua Family!)

(Among them, the Hua Family is the only Family force among the five dominant forces!)

(The overall strength of the Hua Family is considered upper-middle among the five dominant forces!)

(However, these are all on the surface! The major dominant forces have been passed down for who knows how many years! The Legacy of each dominant force is unimaginable!)

Danding Pavilion, as its name suggests, is a force specializing in Alchemy!

Although there is only one Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestor within it, it has a fifth-rank Alchemist!

He has refined Medicinal Pills for Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators in the Zhao Country's Cultivation Realm, and even in several other nearby countries' Cultivation Realms!

He has extensive connections and is highly renowned in the Cultivation Realm!

No one would dare to offend a force that has a fifth-rank Alchemist and is on good terms with several Soul Transformation forces!

After all, with a single command from them, the Cultivation Realms of the nearby countries might not even sell Medicinal Pills!

In severe cases, one might even be directly annihilated!

The three large characters on the Danding Pavilion's plaque, including the entire plaque itself, were made of more rare and precious Materials compared to the Qi Bao Pavilion!

The entire plaque was made of hundred-year-old lightning-struck wood!

The characters within it were even inlaid with Crimson Gold Stone!

(Crimson Gold Stone! A Medium Grade second-rank Ore! A fist-sized piece costs 800 Spirit Stones!)

(According to the three large characters on the Danding Pavilion, it would cost at least five or six thousand Spirit Stones!)

Coupled with the magnificent shop, it all showcased the Danding Pavilion's grandeur and wealth!

Wei Zhou held Li Yawei's hand and stepped into the Danding Pavilion!

Upon entering the Danding Pavilion, there wasn't a Shop Assistant as enthusiastic as the one at the Qi Bao Pavilion to greet him.

Only a lukewarm voice came from the front desk.

"What kind of Medicinal Pills do you wish to purchase?"

There was even a hint of arrogance in the tone!

It was no wonder the Cultivator spoke so arrogantly; Wei Zhou had used the Qi Concealment Art to hide his aura to the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!

And that Cultivator himself was a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage!

Facing a Cultivator at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, he naturally wouldn't show a good attitude!

Wei Zhou wasn't angered by this and replied instead.

"Let me look first!"

Then, without waiting for the Cultivator to reply, Wei Zhou took Li Yawei's hand and leisurely strolled around on his own.

Wei Zhou looked around, and the dazzling array of goods made him dizzy!

And each item had its price marked below it!

The highest was a thousand Spirit Stones, while the lowest ranged from a dozen Spirit Stones!

And they were divided into several areas!

First-rank Medicinal Pills in one area! Second-rank Medicinal Pills in another area!

There were no third-rank Medicinal Pills or higher!

After all, this Danding Pavilion was just a branch of the Danding Pavilion in the market!

Wei Zhou first went to the first-rank Medicinal Pill area!

He quickly scanned it and was surprised to find that this first-rank Medicinal Pill area had more than a dozen types of first-rank Medicinal Pills!

Among them, there was even the extremely rare Spirit Breaking Pill!

(Spirit Breaking Pill! A top-grade first-rank Medicinal Pill! If a Cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement Stage with Perfection consumes it, they are 100% guaranteed to Breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!)

(It has a similar effect to the Realm Breaking Pill! However, the efficacy of the Spirit Breaking Pill is less than one percent of the Realm Breaking Pill!)

(Realm Breaking Pill, a Medium Grade third-rank Medicinal Pill! Upon consumption, it can allow a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to Breakthrough a minor Realm! However, it cannot be used for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage!)

(It has no side effects! Although the Realm Breaking Pill is only a Medium Grade third-rank Medicinal Pill, it requires a Medium Grade fourth-rank Alchemist to refine it!)

(And the success rate of a Medium Grade fourth-rank Alchemist refining it is less than fifty percent!)

(It is very rare on the market! One pill costs at least 8,000 to 10,000 Spirit Stones!)

(For some Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators whose Lifespan is nearing its end, it is an invaluable treasure!)

(After all, within the Golden Core Stage, breaking through a minor Realm can extend one's Lifespan by about a hundred years!)

(Therefore, once a Realm Breaking Pill appears on the market, some Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators whose Lifespan is nearing its end would sell everything they own to buy it!)

Wei Zhou walked up to the Spirit Breaking Pill and looked at the striking price of 200 Spirit Stones!

He inwardly exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

He then pulled his wife, intending to turn and walk towards other Medicinal Pills!

Wei Zhou pulled a few times and found that he couldn't pull his wife.

He then turned his gaze to his wife!

First, he saw his wife's sparkling eyes! She was staring intently at that Spirit Breaking Pill!

Second, he saw his wife, her eyes full of desire!

Immediately, Wei Zhou silently noted it in his heart!

He took Li Yawei's hand and walked towards another area of first-rank Medicinal Pills!

After browsing several first-rank Medicinal Pills, Wei Zhou felt very dissatisfied!

Just as he was about to walk towards the second-rank Medicinal Pill area, his peripheral vision accidentally caught sight of a Medicinal Pill!

Wei Zhou, holding Li Yawei's hand, took a few steps closer!

He clearly saw the name of the Medicinal Pill.

"Violent Spirit Pill!"

(Violent Spirit Pill! As the name suggests, it erupts spiritual power!)

(However, it is to be consumed in a critical moment to unleash power far exceeding one's own!)

(And it only lasts for the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, during which one can unleash power far exceeding one's own! After the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, the person will become utterly powerless!)

(Even a Mortal can easily kill a Cultivator who has used the Violent Spirit Pill!)

(However, as long as one gets through the few days of weakness, one's strength will recover within a few days!)

Immediately, Wei Zhou looked down at its price.

"44 Spirit Stones!"

He thought to himself.

"44 Spirit Stones is within my acceptable range!"

"I'll buy one!"

"It can be used as a backup plan for me!"

"However, there are a few days of weakness, so I must be cautious!"

"If I really use it then, and the Medicinal Pill's effect wears off, even a Mortal can easily kill me! Then I must buy myself a few defensive Magical Artifacts!"

"And buy a few Qi Concealment Talismans!"

"Some Grain Abstinence Pills! After all, if I really use it then, and fall back to being a Mortal!"

"It's still necessary to buy some Grain Abstinence Pills!"

Talking to himself, Wei Zhou quickly made up his mind to buy a Violent Spirit Pill, along with self-defense Magical Artifacts, Qi Concealment Talismans, and Grain Abstinence Pills.

Then he walked towards the second-rank Medicinal Pill area!

......

The prices of the second-rank Medicinal Pills made Wei Zhou gasp in astonishment and hesitate to proceed!

Even the lowest-priced second-rank Medicinal Pill cost 500 Spirit Stones! All the assets he currently possessed, combined, would at most allow him to buy one!

Not long after, Wei Zhou left the second-rank Medicinal Pill area!

He arrived at the front desk where the Cultivator was located!
