Chapter 27: Chapter 27:1, Brother Wang, Never Lick a Poisonous Knifel

Translator: 549690339

For the sake of The Great Dao Path, Luo Chen decided to indulge extravagantly!

At the Spirit Medicine Hall, under the smiling eyes of the counter attendant, Luo Chen begrudgingly took out five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

“Five bottles of Qi Nurturing Pill, welcome to visit again!”

The eleven hundred Spirit Stones he just got were halved in an instant.

Anyone would be heartbroken.

However, Luo Chen knew well that he must spend these Spirit Stones at this stage.

Generally speaking, he should spend the Spirit Stones on expanding the business of the Allure Pill, rapidly increasing his proficiency, and then generating massive net profits.

Only then could he escape from his dilemma and embark on a path of sustainable cultivation.

But, the external environment has changed!

He killed two cultivators one after another and plundered the inheritance of three bodies.

Especially that cultivator surnamed Gao, who was so wealthy, possibly with a huge background.

What if someone comes to the door, ignoring the rules set by the Yu Ding Sect in The Great River District, and tries to kill him?

With his strength at the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage, how could he resist?

Indeed, Soul Breaking Nail is powerful, but not invincible.

Wang Yuan once comfortably escaped with a Soul Nail in his body and then killed two people.

Even if Luo Chen hadn’t killed the third unlucky ghost at that time, Wang Yuan would definitely kill him with his sword.

Wang Yuan was only in the Seventh Level Qi Refinement, and there were many stronger than him.

Therefore, Luo Chen couldn’t risk it.

Moving into the Inner City is one method.

Rapidly upgrading his realm was another method.

After experiencing the effect of the Qi Nurtifying Pill last time, Luo Chen knew that he probably couldn’t separate from hitting the pill for cultivation in this life.

Last night he tried, a Perfection Level Longevity Technique plus a First Order Spirit Vein gave him little improvement and didn’t reach the level of qualitative change.

To achieve qualitative change, he needs to accumulate over a long period of time.

Time?

Time was the one thing Luo Chen, with only 75 years of lifespan, lacked!

So, taking pills was a must, there was no other choice!

Stowing away the five bottles of Qi Nurturing Pill carefully into his storage bag, Luo Chen stepped hesitantly.

In the end, he clenched his teeth and headed towards the Spirit Source Study.

Fortunately, he was an Immortal Cultivator. If an ordinary person had to bite his teeth to take out Spirit Stones every day, his teeth would all be bitten to pieces.

Spirit Source Study is a shop set up by the Five Elements Divine Sect, one of The Six Ascendant Sects of the Far East, in The Great River District market.

The Five Elements Divine Sect is famous for its Five Elements Technique, most of the sect experts are proficient in this profound technique.

Among cultivators who mainly use magic items and talismans in battle, it is considered unique.

Compared to fighting, the Five Elements Divine Sect prefers to use the Five Elements Technique in production.

They are leading in the cultivation of various Spirit Plants in the Six Realms.

Even the Medicine King Sect, which specializes in cultivating Spirit Plants, only slightly surpasses the Five Elements Divine Sect in the field of medicinal ingredients.

In other respects, the Five Elements Divine Sect is matchless.

Without saying much else, most of the Spirit Rice commonly seen in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Six Realms is produced by the Five Elements Divine Sect.

Other sects also cultivate Spirit Grains on their reserved lands, but for some reason, the Spirit Rice they produce, whether in terms of taste or the amount of Spirit Qi contains, are far inferior to that of the Five Elements Divine Sect.

The Five Elements Divine Sect’s competitiveness in cultivating Spirit Plants overshadowed the Six Realms.

When Luo Chen stepped into the Spirit Source Study, he first bought ten kilograms of Spirit Rice with one Spirit Stone, and then strolled to the counter. “Can I check the Spell Catalog?”

The beautiful counter attendant’s eyes lit up, swiftly taking out a book.

“Sir, which kind of spell would you like to purchase?”

“Middle Stage of Qi Refinement? Have you mastered all the essential spells? If not, then I can passionately recommend this set of spells for you, it costs just five Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Luo Chen’s eyes twitched.

Five, five hundred!

“The catalog contains annotations by our Five Elements Divine Sect experts. It guarantees you to quickly get started.”

“If you have mastered all, you can consider our Five Elements Sect’s improved Five Elements Techniques, like this one, the Fire Bird Technique derived from Fireball Technique! It consumes the same Spirit Qi but has a range of applications. In case you run out of Spirit Stones, you can also help people set off Fire Bird fireworks, to earn some spending money.”

“This isn’t bad either, the Water Type Little Cloud Rain Technique, very suitable for watering plants!”

“The price? Of course, it’s affordable, only three medium grade spirit stones!”

Luo Chen left the Spirit Source Study in a daze.

A technique?

He didn’t buy a single one!

It’s simply too expensive, a Fire Bird Technique developed from Fireball Technique, daring to charge three medium grade spirit stones, that’s three hundred lower grade spirit stones!

He would be insane to spend his money on this.

As for the few techniques that he sincerely wanted, the prices also made his brain lack oxygen.

They are all making a big fuss over nothing!

The Five Elements Divine Sect is known for its mastery of Five Elements Techniques and has a wide range of knowledge in other techniques as well.

Therefore, each Spirit Source Study would sell some techniques.

Maybe they are all common lower order spells, but once they are annotated by the high-level cultivators of the Five Elements Divine Sect, it becomes easy for cultivators to get started.

If there are some improved techniques, then it will be even more impressive.

That’s why Luo Chen wanted to come and take a look. freewebnov(e)l

However, the prices made him hesitate.

“It seems I can only go to the Rogue Cultivator Market and rummage for some no-guarantee techniques.”

No sect endorsement, no high-level cultivator annotations, no after-sales guarantee.

When he arrived at the Rogue Cultivator Market in the south of the city, the flow of people was sparse and it was somewhat deserted.

The big market had just been opened not long ago, and the small market wouldn’t be open until three days later.

Luo Chen strolled around the market with the idea of trying his luck.

However, after a full round, he was somewhat disappointed.

Whether it’s the small market or the big market, the stalls are all permanent vendors selling stable yield goods.

Things like cultivation techniques and spells definitely wouldn’t count as stable yield items.

Everything depends on the output of those who risk their lives.

“Licking the knife edge every day, aren’t they afraid of the poison on the blade? I didn’t see a single one today, were they all poisoned to death?”

Luo Chen cursed discontentedly and was about to leave.

However, when he was leaving the market, he ran into an acquaintance.

Seeing him, Luo Chen was overjoyed and his heart started to thump wildly.

“Brother Wang, my brother!”

Sure enough, my Brother Wang never licks a poisonous knife!

Wang Yuan glanced at him and walked towards his stall.

Luo Chen followed behind cheerfully, acting like a dedicated sidekick.

What do you mean acting like a sidekick? Luo Chen is indeed under Brother Wang’s protection, that’s right!

A piece of gray cloth was spread on the ground, Wang Yuan waved his hand, and the gray cloth was immediately cluttered with a pile of various items.

Blood-stained magic tools, various books and bamboo slips, even a yellowed jade slip.

Looking at these items, with their strong stench of blood, Luo Chen was so frightened his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

“Brother Wang, your recent harvest is quite rich!”

Wang Yuan’s mouth twitched, “Not all of it is mine.”

Luo Chen had inquired before that Wang Yuan didn’t just rob and kill, or engage in gang fights.

He had a proper job.

That is to handle some dirty items of unknown origin for the Broken Mountain Gang and earn a lot of profits from it.

That’s why Luo Chen can see Wang Yuan every time, whether it’s a big or a small market.

This is a job with great prospects.

“Has the outside fighting stopped recently?”

How can cultivators’ fights be called fights!?

Wang Yuan’s eyelids drooped, “It’s stopped, it will continue in a few days.”

Gang fights follow such strict rules?

Luo Chen was a little confused.

But this is a good thing, otherwise how would Wang Yuan have time to set up a stall..
