Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Seeing that the distance was being widened again, Sima Feng patted the Flying Tiger.

"I will shoot an arrow later, and you will roar immediately to scare him."

Then he drew his bow and shot an arrow at Qu Yang. Qu Yang felt the strong wind coming from behind and was about to activate the flying sword under his feet to dodge. At this moment, a flying tiger roared, and Qu Yang's body paused and slowed down by half a beat.

Seeing that the arrow was about to hit him, he immediately used his shield in a panic to block it. However, the shield was too ineffective and was directly broken by the arrow. Then, the arrow's remaining force reduced a little, but it still hit Qu Yang's back heavily.

Qu Yang felt a huge force attacking his back, and his body was knocked flying. Intense pain spread throughout his body, and his throat felt sweet. He forced himself not to spit out blood, and his face suddenly flushed.

He was horrified. This single blow had injured him badly, and seeing how relaxed Sima Feng looked, he knew this was not his limit. He dared not hesitate any longer, and with both hands clasped together, he poured his spiritual power into the flying sword under his feet as if he was risking his life, making the flying sword make a clicking sound. This was not just about shortening its service life, he was afraid that the flying sword would be completely scrapped within an hour.

Afterwards, the flying sword burst out with brilliance again, and its speed increased by 30% again. The distance between it and Sima Feng was getting bigger and bigger, and it was beyond the range of the bow and arrow. Sima Feng frowned when he saw this. If he couldn't catch up with the opponent, everything would be in vain.

After that, he could only watch Qu Yang fly farther and farther away. Seeing this scene, Sima Feng sighed and said bitterly:

"He ran really fast."

Soon Zhang Chen caught up from behind and saw Sima Feng turning around. He looked forward and did not see Qu Yang.

"What about others?"

"He ran away. That guy isn't very strong, but he's good at running away."

"Forget it, let's get out of here quickly. It will be troublesome if that guy comes back with his men."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen immediately changed direction and headed towards the market place he had been to before, preparing to buy some pills for the future.

After this battle, Sima Feng had a general understanding of his own strength. Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators were definitely not his opponents. However, Foundation Establishment cultivators could fly with swords, so it would be difficult for him to catch up.

Soon the two of them arrived near the market town, disguised themselves and put Xiaobai and Feichihu into the spirit beast bag. Then they started to go towards the market town. The closer they got to the market town, they found that there were obviously more people going to the market town than in the previous times. This made Zhang Chen very confused and he became more cautious.

After paying the entry spirit stone, the two went straight to the Wandan Pavilion and bought a lot of fasting pills and blood-replenishing pills. They found that the prices had actually gone up a lot, especially the pills for healing and replenishing spiritual energy, the prices had doubled.

After asking, I learned that there have been a lot of monks buying elixirs recently, and the Wandan Pavilion is a little short of supply. Not only monks from Zhao State buy elixirs here, but monks from Wei State and Han State, which are adjacent to Zhao State, also buy elixirs here.

As for why, it was because the largest sect in Zhao State, Wuyin Sect, discovered an ancient cave and sincerely invited all cultivators to go and explore for treasures. This attracted countless independent cultivators and disciples from other sects.

"It turns out to be the Ancient Cave. Fortunately, it is not here to find us."

Zhang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. After buying the elixir, he and Sima Feng strolled around in the market. Sima Feng's Silver Tiger Bow could no longer meet his needs, so he decided to look for a more suitable bow and arrow in the market.

At this time, everyone was talking about the ancient cave.

"I heard that there are ancient spiritual treasures in the ancient cave. If I get them, hahahaha..."

"What are you thinking? There are only a handful of treasures like this in the entire world of immortal cultivation. You got it, and you think you can take it with you?"

"That's right, let's be realistic. It's a blessing from God to be able to get a few spiritual weapons."

"Even if I can't get a spiritual weapon, it would be worth the trip if I could get the cultivation method of the ancient great powers for reference."

"Ancient powerful methods? I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to practice even if you got them. I heard that the ancient powerful didn't cultivate spiritual energy, but trained their bodies and imitated those ancient spiritual beasts."

……

……

Hearing this, Zhang Chen was instantly moved. Seeing that the people around him were still talking, he walked over and asked:

"My fellow Taoists, since there are so many treasures in the ancient cave, why doesn't Wuyin Sect keep them all for itself, but instead sincerely invites all cultivators to explore together."

One of the older men turned around and looked at Zhang Chen and Sima Feng, feeling that their cultivation was not high, and then said:

"The ancient cave is very dangerous. You think Wuyin Sect is kindhearted and is just letting us serve as cannon fodder."

"Ah, if that's the case, then why go?"

Zhang Chen was surprised. He refused to go and die.

"If it's not for cultivation resources, who would be willing to take the risk?"

The man looked at Zhang Chen as if he were a fool.

"Forget it. He might be a disciple from a large sect who just came out to gain experience. He has no idea about the cruelty of us independent cultivators."

A man nearby saw this and whispered something to his companion.

This time, Zhang Chen was indeed dressed like a disciple of a large sect who had just come out to gain experience. He was wearing gorgeous and luxurious clothes and a spiritual hairpin on his head, which made him look extraordinary.

Originally, considering that he would be buying a lot of things this time, he dressed like this on purpose. He wanted people to think that he was a disciple of a big sect and to make others feel wary of him. Otherwise, he would be an ordinary person and would easily be targeted after spending a lot of spirit stones.

Afterwards, they strolled around the market and found a shop selling spiritual weapons, so they walked in with Sima Feng. Zhang Chen held his head high and chest puffed out, while Sima Feng followed behind him without saying a word, like a servant.

"This fellow Taoist has come to our Duobao Pavilion. What spiritual weapon are you planning to buy?"

A middle-aged man in the middle stage of Qi Condensation immediately walked towards Zhang Chen when he saw his outfit. He was very enthusiastic. Based on his experience, this was definitely a big customer.

"Does your pavilion have any spiritual weapons such as bows and arrows?"

Zhang Chen looked around and asked.

"Bow and arrow? Please follow me."

After that, he led Zhang Chen and Sima Feng to a quiet room, arranged for them to sit down, and then said:

"Wait here for a moment, I'll check right away."

He left after saying that. Less than ten minutes later, the man came in with a booklet and placed it on the table in front of them.

"Please take a look, this is the introduction to the spiritual weapons you want. However, bow spiritual weapons are relatively rare, and we only have these three in Duobao Pavilion."

Zhang Chen immediately picked up the booklet and started flipping through it, and what caught his eye was the Frost Bow.

Seeing Zhang Chen see the bow on the first page, the middle-aged man immediately introduced it.

"This bow was made from a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron that a Jindan elder of this pavilion found a thousand meters underground. The bowstring is made from the tendons of a second-level demon beast, the Seven-Colored Deer. This bow is also equipped with ten cold arrows, all made from a piece of cold iron. They are extremely sharp. Once they attack the opponent, in addition to the damage caused by the arrows, they will also freeze the opponent. And it only costs 7,000 low-grade spirit stones. It's really a bargain."

The man finished his explanation with great excitement, and then looked at Zhang Chen with anticipation.

Zhang Chen just nodded without responding and asked lightly.

"How much force can this bow withstand?"

"Within ten thousand jin, it won't be a problem."

The man glanced at Zhang Chen proudly. Unless one reached the Jindan stage, basically no one could reach a strength of ten thousand pounds. Besides, most cultivators nowadays controlled spiritual weapons and did not need to specifically train to exert such a great strength.
