Chapter Index

    Qingzhu Hall.

    The discussion hall.

    Ancestor Lu Yuanzhong of the Lu Family was discussing with all the high-level members and elders about the Azure Cloud Sect’s attack on the Xiahou family.

    Now that the sect had issued orders, the Lu Family of Qingzhu had to send people to obey and participate in this battle.

    For these family forces, this battle, although dangerous,

    was also an opportunity.

    As long as they achieved military merits, the Azure Cloud Sect would reward them accordingly.

    Spirit Stones, Artifacts, pills, Secret Techniques, and other rare resources could be obtained through military merits.

    “Since it’s decided, let’s proceed.”

    “Three days later, Uncle Yunhan, Uncle Yunfei, Yuanshan, Yuanhua, Yuanling, Miaofeng, come with me to participate in this battle.”

    Lu Yuanzhong decided.

    Then he looked at Lu Yuanshan Ding and Lu Miaochang and said, “Yuanding, Miaochang, you guard the family.”

    “Although family forces are not allowed to conflict during the war, there might be rogue cultivators causing trouble.”

    “So during this period, be vigilant, increase patrols, and use thunderous methods if necessary.”

    Lu Yuanzhong said solemnly.

    “Yes!”

    “Understood!”

    “Rest assured, Ancestor!”

    Everyone in the hall stood up and responded respectfully to Lu Yuanzhong.

    “Miaoge, do you know where Changsheng went? Can he come back to guard the family?”

    After discussing the matters, Lu Yuanzhong asked Lu Miaoge through a voice traasmission.

    Now that he, the family ancestor, had to take some elders and elites out,

    it would leave the Lu Family somewhat vulnerable.

    If Lu Changsheng, a Second-Tier Talisman Master, could guard the family, it would be more secure.

    Moreover, being able to achieve Foundation Establishment as a family ancestor meant he was not foolish.

    Through Lu Changsheng’s various actions, children, and spirit pets, it was clear that Lu Changsheng was not as simple as he appeared.

    He hid many secrets, and his cultivation might not be limited to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

    Therefore, having Lu Changsheng guard Qingzhu Mountain would make the family much more stable.

    “Ancestor, Changsheng went out with a friend. He might not return until a year later.”

    Lu Miaoge replied, biting herrlip.

    She hadn’t expected such an incident just three months after Lu Changsheng left.

    But Lu Changsheng hadn’t told her where he was going.

    “Alright.”

    Lu Yuanzhong sighed inwardly upon hearing this.

    Knowing Lu Changsheng couldn’t return soon to guard the family.

    Then he said to Lu Miaoge, “Miaoge, during thhs time, the Hongye Valley Marketplace will be your responsibility.”

    “Yes, Ancestor.”

    Lu Miaoge nodded seriously..

    With the second elder Lu Yuanling also leaving,

    the responsibility of managing the Hongye Valley Marketplace fell on her.

    After thinking for a moment, Lu Miaoge said through a voicc transmission, “Ancestor, Changsheng has a Foundation Establishment friend in the Azure Cloud Sect. He told me that if we encounter trouble, I can seek help from this friend. So, please don’t worry.”

    Recently, Xiao Xiyue came to Hongye Valley Marketplace to visit her daughter, Lu Wangshu.

    Lu Miaoge and this Fairy Xiyuu had gotten to know each other.

    To reassure her ancestor, she thought that if the family faced a big crisis, she could seek help from this Fairy Xiyue.

    Having a Foundation Establishment friend in the immortal sect was a significant support in the cultivation world.

    It could deter and resolve many issues.

    “A Foundation Establishment friend in the Azure Cloud Sect!?”

    “Good, very good.”

    Lu Yuanzhong’s eyes lit up with joy upon hearing this.

    He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to have such connections.

    A Foundation Establishment cultivator, even as a guest in Qingzhu Mountain, could deter others.

    But remembering the Foundation Establishment female cultivator from the Chen Family during their last battle, Lu Yuanzhong wondered if Lu Changsheng’s friend was also female.

    As a family ancestor, he suppressed his curiosity and didn’t gossip.

    Two months later.

    “Finally here.”

    Lu Changsheng stood on the spirit ship’s deck, overlooking the sea of clouds.

    He could vaguely see a majestic immortal city shrouded in multicolored light below.

    As the spirit ship descended, the Nine Heavens Immortal City grew larger in Lu Changsheng’s view, its grandeur dwarfing the surrounding mountains.

    “Nine Heavens Immortal City, this is an immortal city!”

    “No wonder the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world has many Markets but only three immortal cities.”

    Lu Changsheng murmured, looking at the increasingly clear and magnificent Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    This city covered hundreds of miles, several times larger than Qingyun Market Town.

    The surrounding towering mountains seemed to have wide, flat roads carved out by swords.

    On these roads, many pack beasts and cultivators traveled, like mortal merchant caravans.

    But in the sky, many cultivators came and went.

    Artifacts, flying boats, spiritual tools, and light streaks filled the sky, making it clear this was an immortal world.

    Foundation Establishment cultivators, usually rare, were common here.

    Their light streaks could be seen frequently.

    Half an hour later.

    The huge spirit ship slowly hovered in front of Nine Heavens Immortal City’s gate.

    “Fellow Daoists, we have arrived at Nine Heavens Immortal City.”

    Real Man Chiyan’s voice echoed on the spirit ship.

    All passengers came to the deck, ready to disembark.

    “Friend Han, here is the refund for the delay, thirty percent of the ticket price.”

    At this moment, Xuanfeng, a disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, handed Lu Changsheng three Mid-Tier Spirit Stones.

    “Thirty percent of the ticket price.”

    Lu Changsheng recalled Real Man Chiyan saying that due to the detour and delay, thirty percent of the ticket price would be refunded.

    This meant his ticket cost a thousand Spirit Stones.

    But Xiao Xiyue, who gave him the ticket, hadn’t mentioned the Spirit Stones.

    It meant Xiao Xiyue had paid for the ticket.

    It made sense.

    Even as a core disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t let him ride for free.

    “Thank you, Friend Xuanfeng.”

    Lu Changsheng accepted the Spirit Stones.

    He couldn’t help but think, the ticket was quite expensive.

    A regular cabin ticket cost a thousand Spirit Stones.

    A luxury cabin ticket must be three to four thousand Spirit Stones.

    But he understood that the price was probably just enough to cover the travel expenses.

    A spirit ship from Qingyun Market Town to Nine Heavens Immortal City consumed a lot of Spirit Stones.

    Moreover, through conversations, Lu Changsheng learned that this spirit ship mainly carried goods for Azure Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect.

    Transporting passengers was just a side business.

    “You’re welcome, Friend Han.”

    Because of Chu Qingyi, Xuanfeng was very polite to Lu Changsheng.

    After bowing, he went to refund other passengers.

    “Friend Han, if you need to return to Qingyun Market Town, you can ride the spirit ship again.”

    At this moment, Real Man Chiyan came to the deck, smiling at Lu Changsheng.

    “Thank you, Real Man.”

    Lu Changsheng bowed in thanks.

    Then he flew down from the spirit ship and arrived in front of Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    As soon as he landed, without the spirit ship’s protective formation, he felt a strong pressure in the air.

    It came from the Third-Tier formation of Nine Heavens Immortal City!

    “It’s said that Third-Tier formations can fully integrate with the earth veins, forming a world of their own.”

    “It’s hard to break such formations with single attacks or forbidden talismans.”

    Lu Changsheng thought, looking at the city walls covered with runes and formation lights.

    Because of his family’s formation, he spent a lot of time studying formations.

    He knew that formations reached a qualitative change at the third tier.

    They could fully integrate with the earth veins, forming a world of their own.

    This not only easily locked the spirit veins, distributing Qi to various areas,

    but also eliminated any weak points in the formation.

    Any attack or forbidden method would have minimal impact on a Third-Tier formation.

    All attacks would be dispersed into this world.

    Even the attacks of a Golden Core cultivator would be limited.

    If a Third-Tier formation master controlled the formation, its power would be astonishing.

    Lu Changsheng didn’t look around much.

    Following the crowd, he registered his information, paid the Spirit Stones, and received his Identity Token at the side hall of the city’s main gate.

    “The fee for this immortal city is only ten Spirit Stones per year. It’s not expensive.”

    After obtaining his Identity Token, Lu Changsheng entered the city.

    As soon as he stepped inside, he felt a heavy pressure on his body.

    “Is this a no-fly restriction?”

    Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

    He immediately realized this was the effect of the city’s great formation.

    It prevented Foundation Establishment cultivators from flying within the city.

    In places like Hongye Valley Marketplace and Jiulong Market, flying with instruments or riding spirit beasts was prohibited.

    But Foundation Establishment cultivators could still fly within the Markets.

    However, Nine Heavens Immortal City’s formation had a direct no-fly effect, making it difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to fly.

    “Of course, in a city like this with many Foundation Establishment cultivators, flying around would disrupt order.”

    “Additionally, the no-fly restriction makes it hard for troublemakers to escape from the law enforcement team.”

    Lu Changsheng murmured, increasingly impressed by the power of this Third-Tier formation.

    Then, he began to wander around Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    Nine Heavens Immortal City was divided into three main areas.

    The outer city, the inner city, and Jiuxiao Mountain.

    The real big shops and stores were in the inner city.

    But even the outer city was more prosperous than many Market towns.

    Here, Lu Changsheng saw several familiar signs.

    It seemed these family forces had opened their shops in Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    After a brief stroll, he headed towards the inner city.

    To make purchases, he had to go to the inner city.

    Meanwhile.

    As Lu Changsheng arrived in Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    In a cave mansion at the foot of Jiuxiao Mountain.

    A young girl in snow-white clothes, with a delicate face and ethereal temperament, opened her eyes.

    “Huh? What’s going on? Why do I feel a sudden premonition and an inexplicable unease?”

    The girl frowned, muttering to herself.

    When cultivators felt a sudden premonition or unease, it usually meant something was about to happen.

    “Xiaochan.”

    At that moment, a beautiful woman walked into the room.

    The woman wore a well-tailored, tight-fitting black gauze dress.

    The dress wrapped around her voluptuous figure, exposing her smooth, white shoulders.

    Looking at her, men would naturally want to hold her in their arms.

    Her slender waist and curvy figure made her look even more alluring.

    Her long, straight, white legs were slightly exposed beneath the dress, stepping on a pair of black high heels with thin heels and red soles.

    Her every move was full of temptation.

    “Master.”

    Meng Xiaochan looked at the beautiful woman in front of her and immediately called out.

    “You silly girl, I told you to call me mother now.”

    Nangong Mili looked at the girl in front of her with a charming smile, pinching her fair cheek.

    As if pinching wasn’t enough, she kissed Meng Xiaochan’s fair, delicate cheek.

    “Mother.”

    Meng Xiaochan smiled sweetly, calling out.

    They were pretending to be mother and daughter for a mission.

    “Good girl, open your mouth~ ah~”

    The beautiful woman sat beside the bed, her plump hips forming a soft cushion.

    She held a red spiritual fruit with her fingers, feeding it to Meng Xiaochan.

    With a gentle smile, her whole body exuded a charming allure, yet she maintained a mature elegance.

    Meng Xiaochan couldn’t help but admire her master’s charm.

    This allure was irresistible for both men and women.

    Meng Xiaochan obediently opened her mouth and ate the red spiritual fruit.

    Seeing her disciple’s cute appearance, Nangong Mili chuckled softly.

    She picked up another red spiritual fruit and put it directly into Meng Xiaochan’s mouth. “Come on, sweetie, eat another one.”

    With her white fingers touching her disciple’s red lips, she waited until Meng Xiaochan bit into the fruit and used her tongue to roll it into her mouth before gently withdrawing her moist fingers.

    “Mother, did you call me for something?”

    Seeing Nangong Mili still holding a fruit to feed her, Meng Xiaochan asked.

    “Can’t I just want to chat with my sweet daughter?”

    The beautiful woman pouted, looking pitiful like a young girl, making her look even more endearing.

    “Master.”

    Meng Xiaochan called out helplessly.

    Initially, her master, a real core formation cultivator, seemed very dignified.

    But as they spent more time together, she found her master had a playful side.

    “Alright, let’s get serious.”

    “The battle between the sect leader and the Heaven Corpse Sect leader against Li Duanxuan is about to begin. We should take action.”

    Nangong Mili’s beautiful face turned serious.

    “Which family are we contacting this time?”

    Meng Xiaochan asked.

    She and her master had come to Jiang Kingdom to contact the sect’s undercover agents there.

    Once the Five Poison Sect leader and Heaven Corpse Sect leader defeated Jiang Kingdom’s top cultivator, Xuansword True Lord Li Duanxuan, Jin Kingdom would launch a war to invade Jiang Kingdom.

    Then, they would unite with the undercover agents and assist the Jin Kingdom army from within.

    “We’ve contacted most of them. Since we need to act, we should target Nine Heavens Immortal City to disrupt Jiang Kingdom and lower their morale.”

    Nangong Mili pinched her cheek, speaking softly.

    “Attacking Nine Heavens Immortal City directly!?”

    Meng Xiaochan’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly open.

    Although Nangong Mili was a core formation cultivator.

    Jin Kingdom’s three major demonic sects had also sent other core formation and fake core cultivators to Jiang Kingdom.

    But attacking such an immortal city seemed impossible.

    After all, Nine Heavens Immortal City had core formation cultivators stationed there.

    Moreover, Nine Heavens Immortal City had a Third-Tier formation.

    A core formation cultivator skilled in formations could be invincible within the city.

    Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord descended.

    “It’s not what you think. You’ll see.”

    Nangong Mili guessed her disciple’s thoughts, pinching her cheek with a smile.

    Then, she affectionately linked arms with Meng Xiaochan and walked out of the cave mansion.

    “Wan’er, you’re here.”

    As they exited the cave mansion, a tall, imposing middle-aged man with a fierce look in his eyes approached them.

    He looked at Nangong Mili, his fierce expression softening, replaced by a look of adoration.

    “Did you bring what I asked for?”

    Nangong Mili asked coldly, her face indifferent.

    “Yes, I did.”

    The middle-aged man took out a Storage Bag and handed it over, trying to please her.

    “Good.”

    Nangong Mili took the Storage Bag, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.

    Then, she continued walking towards the inner city, holding Meng Xiaochan’s hand.

    “Mother, isn’t Master Xiang coming with us?”

    Meng Xiaochan asked her master.

    But before she could finish, she saw the middle-aged man following them at a distance, looking at Nangong Mili with adoration.

    Remembering how Nangong Mili had told Master Xiang to keep a distance from them.

    Seeing this, Meng Xiaochan didn’t know what to say.

    A dignified core formation cultivator acted so humbly in front of her master.

    They walked from Jiuxiao Mountain to the inner city.

    On the bustling street, Meng Xiaochan felt something and looked at a tall, handsome middle-aged man in front of her.

    For some reason, seeing this man made her heart race, feeling a sense of familiarity.

    “Huh?”

    At that moment, Lu Changsheng also sensed something.

    He turned his head to look to the right.

    He immediately saw a beautiful woman in a black dress and a young girl in a white dress walking hand in hand.

    The woman had an enchanting face and a seductive figure in her black gauze dress.

    Her whole body exuded a seductive allure.

    Even though Lu Changsheng had seen many beauties, he found this woman very beautiful and alluring.

    She was naturally beautiful and charming.

    But his gaze first fell on the young girl in the white dress beside her.

    The girl’s pure face and ethereal temperament contrasted sharply with the woman’s allure.

    Though petite, her figure was already developing, with a curvy body.

    Walking arm in arm with the beautiful woman in the black dress, he appeared somewhat thin and unimpressive.

    Lu Changsheng looked at the girl, feeling a strange, inexplicable familiarity.

    “What’s wrong, dear daughter?”

    Nangong Mili paused, looking into the distance, then gently asked Meng Xiaochan.

    “It’s nothing.”

    Meng Xiaochan shook her head, though she couldn’t stop wondering who that person was.

    She trusted her intuition completely.

    If she felt familiar, she must have met him before.

    But she couldn’t remember ever meeting someone like him.

    However, Nangong Mili brought her to a courtyard where many people were discussing matters, interrupting her thoughts.

    Lu Changsheng watched the beautiful woman and the girl in white leave, feeling puzzled.

    After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he shouldn’t have such inexplicable feelings.

    “Is it a peach blossom luck?”

    Lu Changsheng frowned, asking the Peach Blossom Gu.

    He wanted to know if this strange, familiar feeling was related to the Peach Blossom Gu.

    After all, besides the mysterious peach blossom luck, he couldn’t think of another reason.

    “Love.”

    The Peach Blossom Gu sent a thought.

    It informed Lu Changsheng that this feeling didn’t come from him.

    Instead, it came from another Gu insect.

    The backlash from the Gu insect back then.

    “So it’s her?”

    Lu Changsheng was surprised by the thought from the Peach Blossom Gu.

    He immediately realized that the girl in white was Meng Xiaochan, who had used a love Gu on him and received backlash.

    “I didn’t expect to meet her here after more than ten years.”

    Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

    No wonder he felt such a strange familiarity earlier.

    He didn’t feel much about meeting Meng Xiaochan.

    The Lu Family and the Chen Family war back then was thanks to Meng Xiaochan.

    Afterward, Meng Xiaochan gave him two Foundation Establishment Pills and a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, ending their enmity.

    So he didn’t hold any grudge against Meng Xiaochan.

    Nor did he think much about her.

    At most, he wanted to ask about the effect of the Gu insect he had taken from her.

    “She seemed to look this way earlier. It should be because of the love Gu, right?”

    “But now with the Mysterious Pearl hiding my aura, I wonder if she can recognize me.”

    Lu Changsheng pondered.

    Meng Xiaochan had disguised herself.

    Without the strange familiarity and the Peach Blossom Gu’s hint, he wouldn’t have guessed who she was.

    So he was curious if Meng Xiaochan could recognize him earlier.

    “If she recognizes me, does it count as peach blossom luck?”

    Lu Changsheng rubbed his chin, remembering when Meng Xiaochan left.

    She said she had important matters and couldn’t stay with him but would spend the rest of her life with him once done.

    “She shouldn’t have been very old back then. At this age, reaching Foundation Establishment shows her spiritual roots are top-notch.”

    “If we had children, their spiritual roots should be excellent.”

    Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

    Although it’s hard to determine others’ real age in the cultivation world without bone age testing,

    The lower-level cultivators couldn’t all use beauty-preserving pills or techniques.

    So you could judge someone’s age roughly by their appearance.

    He remembered Meng Xiaochan was at Late-Stage Qi Refining, disguised as a young man when they first met. Later, she always appeared as a young girl.

    So she shouldn’t be very old.

    Being able to reach Foundation Establishment later showed she had excellent spiritual roots.

    “This is just speculation.”

    “And that beautiful woman beside her didn’t seem simple. Could she be her mother?”

    Lu Changsheng shook his head, stopping his thoughts.

    Meng Xiaochan was always extraordinary when they met.

    The first time, she survived under his Talisman Treasure’s golden brick.

    The second time, he might have lost to her if not for the Peach Blossom Gu.

    The third time, she became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

    She even gave him two Foundation Establishment Pills and a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

    Such generosity was beyond many Foundation Establishment families.

    It showed Meng Xiaochan was extraordinary.

    Although he was now at Foundation Establishment, with methods comparable to a false core, he was mainly here for purchases.

    There was no need to complicate things by trying to bring Meng Xiaochan home.

    Besides, with the love Gu, they were destined to be together eventually, so there was no rush.

    Lu Changsheng then went to an inn and rented a room.

    In the room, he used the Mysterious Pearl to change his appearance and wore a blue robe.

    He went to the largest trading company in Nine Heavens Immortal City, the Jiuxiao Trading Company.

    After all, he was here for a big purchase.

    Even with the Mysterious Pearl’s disguise, he wanted to be cautious.

    Besides, his identity as Han Li was known to the Azure Cloud Sect and other passengers.

    “Welcome to Jiuxiao Trading Company. Are you here to buy or sell?”

    A beautiful female cultivator in uniform greeted Lu Changsheng.

    “Do you have Third-Tier talisman materials?”

    Lu Changsheng asked.

    “Third-Tier talisman materials?”

    The female cultivator was surprised.

    “Are you joking? Third-Tier materials are strategic resources, very rare, and rarely sold.”

    “We currently don’t sell Third-Tier talisman materials.”

    “But if you are a top-level Second-Tier Talisman Master and willing to become our guest elder, we can provide Third-Tier materials.”

    The female cultivator smiled warmly.

    “Not for sale.”

    Lu Changsheng was disappointed.

    He had guessed that Nine Heavens Immortal City wouldn’t have many Third-Tier materials for sale.

    But he didn’t expect Jiuxiao Trading Company wouldn’t sell any Third-Tier talisman materials.

    But he understood.

    Such precious materials were rare.

    Mostly used to cultivate their Talisman Masters.

    How could they sell them to outsiders?

    Besides.

    The major immortal sects also monopolized resources this way.

    Forcing skilled craftsmen to join a faction.

    Otherwise, they would be limited by material channels and couldn’t advance their skills.

    Ordinary rogue cultivators would gladly join a major faction for support.

    But he wasn’t in a position to join Jiuxiao Trading Company.

    “It seems I have to go through the Azure Cloud Sect.”

    “But even in Azure Cloud Sect, getting Third-Tier materials won’t be easy.”

    Lu Changsheng sighed.

    “Do you have these materials?”

    He took out a list of materials for refining the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman and asked.

    He had already bought the secondary materials for the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman from Jiulong Market and Qingyun Trading Company.

    He still needed four main Third-Tier materials.

    “Please wait a moment.”

    The female cultivator started checking the list for Lu Changsheng.

    “We currently have a piece of black obsidian iron and blue torana wood.”

    After a while, she informed Lu Changsheng.

    “Black obsidian iron and blue torana wood.”

    Lu Changsheng was delighted.

    Jiuxiao Trading Company lived up to its reputation.

    They had two Third-Tier materials.

    The black obsidian iron was one of the most valuable materials for refining the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman.

    He thought obtaining black obsidian iron would be the hardest.

    “What are the prices of these materials?”

    Lu Changsheng asked.

    “Twenty-one thousand Spirit Stones for the black obsidian iron.”

    “Thirteen thousand Spirit Stones for the blue torana wood.”

    The female cultivator quoted.

    “Hiss.”

    Despite his wealth, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but gasp.

    The prices were indeed high.

    Just buying the materials for the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman would cost sixty to seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

    This price was higher than a spiritual weapon’s.

    “Alright, I’ll take these materials.”

    Lu Changsheng decided.

    Even though it was expensive, he had no choice.

    After all, he had come all this way.

    Besides, with the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman, his talisman array techniques would be much stronger.

    So he felt the price was worth it.

    Immediately, the female receptionist led him to a room.

    Inside, a senior receptionist conducted the transaction with him.

    Materials of this level, being rare and expensive, cannot be released from the inventory by ordinary receptionists.

    “I wonder if your trading company accepts Spirit Talisman?”

    After inspecting the two materials and preparing to pay, Lu Changsheng took out a stack of Second-Tier Spirit Talisman and asked.

    Over the past three months, he had drawn many Second-Tier Spirit Talisman.

    This was to avoid running out of Spirit Stones.

    So, when it came time to pay, he directly took out some talismans to use as a discount.

    “Second-Tier Spirit Talisman?”

    The senior receptionist examined the talismans and nodded, indicating they would be purchased at sixty percent of the Market price.

    Hearing this, Lu Changsheng used thirty low-Tier Second-Tier Spirit Talisman and ten medium-Tier Second-Tier Spirit Talisman to offset 10,800 Spirit Stones.

    After paying the remaining Spirit Stones, he left the Jiuxiao Trading Company.

    Then, he inquired at various shops in Nine Heavens Immortal City about other materials, specifically Third-Tier talisman-making materials.

    Just because Jiuxiao Trading Company doesn’t sell Third-Tier talisman-making materials doesn’t mean all shops don’t.

    Lu Changsheng also began inquiring about Third-Tier spiritual wood, Third-Tier spiritual blood, and other materials.

    Since Third-Tier talisman-making materials weren’t available, he decided to buy Third-Tier spiritual wood and spiritual blood to make talisman paper and ink himself.

    After two days of shopping in the immortal city, Lu Changsheng had made quite a few gains.

    He bought some Third-Tier talisman-making materials and a few rare alchemy herbs.

    Only one material was left to complete the Nine-Nine Mysterious True Talisman.

    “An auction?”

    At this time, Lu Changsheng learned of an event.

    In a month and a half, there would be a small biannual auction in Nine Heavens Immortal City.

    Upon hearing this, he became interested and thought he could attend.

    First, there might be items he wanted at the auction.

    Also, after the auction, there would be a trading fair.

    This trading fair allowed cultivators to trade and sell items themselves.

    Such self-trading, bartering, often yielded rare items.

    “But before that, I need to earn some Spirit Stones.”

    Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly.

    His two days of purchasing had nearly depleted his Spirit Stones.

    So, to attend the auction, he naturally needed to prepare some Spirit Stones.

    On this trip, he not only bought a large number of talisman-making materials but also many alchemy materials.

    These alchemy materials were enough for him to refine Qi Condensation Pills, Three Yang Pills, and a bunch of other Second-Tier pills.

    So, Lu Changsheng planned to try out the Second-Tier alchemy skills he had acquired but never used during this period.

    He would use this craft to fill his Storage Bag.
