Mythical Cultivation

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Huang is right!"

Shen Zhiyuan, Cui Hongfu and other cultivators also echoed, with friendly smiles on their faces.

It turned out that several major forces in Baiye County - the Huang family, the Cui family, the Duan family, the Biluo Sword Sect and the Guiyi Sect - each sent representatives to redeem the rewards from the Qingyun Sect.

All of these people have had contact with Wu Ming. In addition to handling official business, they came here to maintain a good relationship with Wu Ming.

"My fellow Taoists, this is really putting me in a difficult position. My senior brother is too busy with official duties to stay in one place for long and has already left. Therefore, I'm afraid you will be disappointed if you want to see him this time. But don't worry, your rewards are all with me, and you won't lose anything." Looking at the expectant eyes of the cultivators, Wu Ming explained.

After hearing Wu Ming's words, everyone showed a little disappointment on their faces. After all, they were all full of curiosity and expectations about the Qingyun Sect's disciples, and they really wanted to see the Qingyun Sect's envoy with their own eyes.

However, they also understood that such things could not be forced. After all, the envoys had their own official business to attend to and it was impossible for them to change their itinerary just because of their curiosity.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyuan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Your clan's envoy is very busy with official duties, and we naturally understand that. As the saying goes, things have their priorities, and we can't delay the envoy's work!"

His words not only expressed his understanding of Wu Ming, but also cleverly eased the slightly awkward atmosphere on the scene.

Wu Ming agreed with Shen Zhiyuan's words, nodded with a smile, and then said, "Everyone, I am really pleased that you are so reasonable. The items you want to exchange this time are already placed in this storage bag.

The majority of these are spirit stones, which are essential to all practitioners, and I believe you all will find them useful. The rest are elixirs and talismans, which we have carefully prepared, hoping to meet your needs. Once you have decided what you would like to exchange, you can request it.

Wu Ming's words were concise and clear, and he got straight to the point, focusing everyone's attention on the storage bag.

After hearing this, everyone began to think about what they needed.

After all, this is a rare exchange opportunity, and they all hope to exchange for items that will be most helpful to their cultivation.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about an incense stick of time, everyone made their own choices.

Although not everyone was completely satisfied, overall, every Blood Demon Sect cultivator was quite satisfied with what they exchanged.

After all, the fact that a Blood Demon Sect cultivator could exchange for items worth nearly a thousand spirit stones was beyond their expectations.

Everyone secretly made up their minds that if they met the cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect again, they would never let them escape easily.

After all, the cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect are so valuable. In addition to their own wealth, they can also exchange for quite good resources in the Qingyun Sect. These two items combined are far more cost-effective than hunting monsters of the same level, and there is less risk.

After completing the exchange, everyone left satisfied.

Wu Ming also began to calculate the unexpected wealth he had earned during this period.

First of all, there were two thousand spirit stones exchanged by the two Blood Evil Sect monks. This was really a huge fortune!

In addition to this, there are the two people’s magic weapons and storage bags.

When Wu Ming opened the storage bags of the two Blood Evil Sect monks, he found that the things inside were not as many as he had imagined.

Aside from some elixirs and materials used by the demonic cultivators, there weren't many valuable items left. The treasures in the two storage bags, plus the magical instruments they used, totaled less than three thousand spirit stones.

It seems that the monks of the Blood Evil Sect are not as rich as imagined!

However, these nearly 5,000 spirit stones are already a considerable fortune for Wu Ming.

With these spirit stones, he can buy more cultivation resources and improve his strength.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that the two Blood Demon Sect monks have such little wealth.

After all, for cultivators from small forces, building a foundation is an extremely difficult task in itself, and they often need to invest most of their wealth in breaking through the difficulty of building a foundation.

Therefore, most cultivators who have just entered the foundation-building stage are penniless and destitute.

In comparison, Qingyun Sect cultivators like Wu Ming are much luckier. They also have the opportunity to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills for free, which can save a lot of expenses. This is also the advantage of cultivators from big forces.

As for the cultivators from small forces, even after they entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, their economic conditions did not improve substantially. Instead, the expenses required for cultivation became even greater.

For example, the various elixirs needed in the practice process and the talismans indispensable in battle are all very expensive.

Moreover, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot continue to use the mid-grade magic tools from the Qi Refining stage!

This does not mean that a mid-grade magic weapon will damage the reputation of a foundation-building cultivator, but it is to improve one's own combat effectiveness so as not to be left far behind when competing with other cultivators of the same level.

Therefore, in order to replace the higher-level magical instruments, it will undoubtedly be a huge expense.

For ordinary foundation-building cultivators, their income and expenditure can only barely maintain a balance, which is already a pretty good situation.

In fact, the lives of most foundation-building cultivators are even more difficult than when they were in the Qi Refining stage.

After all, as your cultivation level improves, the resources needed for practice will become more and more expensive.

Unless those cultivators, like Wu Ming, possess a unique and exquisite skill in cultivating immortals.

This allows them to earn some extra income through this skill in addition to their practice.

In this way, they will have a certain amount of surplus in their pockets and will not live in poverty like other monks.

Wu Ming carefully classified and sorted out the various cultivation resources he had, and then went to the market to find a store that specialized in recycling these resources.

After bargaining with the shop owner, he finally sold all these things at a lower price and successfully exchanged them for the spirit stones he needed.

A few days later, Wu Ming received a message from Wang Zongyuan.

Wang Zongyuan arrived on time as agreed, and took away the Blood Evil Sect cultivator identity tokens exchanged by Wu Ming and brought them back to the sect.

After completing the handover with Wu Ming, Wang Zongyuan did not stay for long and left in a hurry.

With Wang Zongyuan's departure, Wu Ming's life gradually returned to normal.

At least for the short term, he no longer had to worry about these things.
