The deal is done.

The Nourishing Essence Pill and the True Martial Pill sold for a total of 220 spirit stones.

The other party gave a deposit of four hundred spirit stones.

The other party also bought the snake.

In addition, there was what my master left behind.

Chen Sanshi's current net worth is 730 spirit stones.

He carefully put away the spirit stones: "Brother Bai, then we'll meet again someday."

"it is good."

Bai Linxun also clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I'll be waiting for Brother Chen to come to Meishan to find me. Farewell!"

After saying goodbye.

Chen Sanshi then went to the black market on the island in the middle of the lake.

The entrance fee to the black market is even more expensive, requiring eight spirit crystals. After paying, a boatman will ferry you to shore.

The island in the middle of the lake is covered with lush vegetation.

Moreover, the trees were all black, just like those in Chiling Mountain, creating a gloomy atmosphere. The cultivators who came and went either wore masks or black robes, and he guessed that even those who showed their faces had used disguise techniques.

Inside the black market, there were no longer open-air stalls, but small wooden huts for cultivators to trade privately. Signs would hang in front of the huts, indicating the types of magical artifacts and elixirs available.

"Will you accept the magical artifact?"

Chen Sanshi entered a wooden house and took out a whisk and a flying sword from his storage bag.

The masked cultivator quickly gave a price: "Sixty spirit stones for both items combined."

Chen Sanshi emphasized, "These are all mid-grade magic artifacts."

"Fellow."

The masked monk's voice was somewhat hoarse: "There's no need to haggle over something like this, since it involves murder and robbery. If you think it's too cheap, you can go somewhere else."

"Here you go."

Chen Sanshi did not haggle.

The more times a dead person's ritual implements are exposed to light, the easier it is for them to be recognized.

Especially that flying sword, which belonged to a disciple of Qingxuan Mountain.

Holding sixty spirit stones, he asked, "I saw on the wooden sign in front of your door that you sell cultivation techniques. May I ask what kind of techniques they are?"

"Snapped!"

The masked monk slammed a jade slip onto the table.

Inside the jade slip was an introduction to the cultivation technique and incomplete information.

Chen Sanshi infused it with a wisp of spiritual energy.

The Fire-Swallowing Technique.

A fire-attribute cultivation technique for the Qi Refining stage.

Originating from the Endless Fire Domain, the Heavenly Flame Sect's techniques are considered superior.

He looked at several shops on the black market and found that this set of techniques was the best: "What's the price?"

"One thousand spirit stones."

The masked cultivator didn't give them a chance to negotiate: "This is a superior cultivation technique. If the subsequent content can be completed, it is said that one can cultivate a sacred fire comparable to a fire vein. Not to mention the black market, there is only one copy in the entire Daze Market. Moreover, this technique has special restrictions, so it is impossible to make a copy. In other words, once it is sold to you, it will be gone. Therefore, it will not be cheaper than a single spirit stone."

One thousand spirit stones!

That's an astronomical price.

Even if Chen Sanshi took out all his spirit stones, he still wouldn't have enough to meet the demand, not to mention the other items he needed to purchase later.

Fortunately, he was prepared. In a flash of inspiration, a parchment scroll appeared in his hand: "Fellow Daoist, how about I exchange this for it?"

"This is……"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes beneath the cultivator's mask: "Cultivation techniques and spirit communication scrolls of the incense-burning and divine path?"

Before coming here.

Chen Sanshi did some research in the library.

In the world of cultivation, the practice of burning incense and following deities is a very special existence.

They do not need to rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; they can cultivate simply through the incense offered by mortals. However, the specific methods are all controlled within a few special sects that govern their respective kingdoms. The most famous of these are the Buddhist Kingdom of Xiniu Hezhou and the Evil God Kingdoms of Leiming Linzhou.

and.

The cultivation of the incense-burning deities is extremely special. Their talent is not like that of magic cultivators and martial arts cultivators, which can be directly judged by their physique. Instead, it relies solely on something akin to comprehension.

For example, the Buddhist concept of "wisdom root".

Some cultivators have poor aptitude for both magic and martial arts, but possess excellent wisdom. Therefore, they switch to the path of incense and deities, which becomes an opportunity for many cultivators to defy fate. However, the inheritance of the path of incense and deities is extremely precious.

The most valuable item is the parchment scroll, which is known as the spirit scroll.

Possessing a spirit scroll guarantees one's status as a disciple of any sect, granting access to excellent incense offerings and resources, thus making it exceptionally valuable.

The parchment scroll of the Righteous God Path can fetch a full three thousand spirit stones on the black market, which is more than three times the price of the "Fire Devouring Technique".

The sheepskin scrolls from the Evil God Path are relatively cheaper, selling for only five hundred spirit stones.

Chen Sanshi has both.

But he only offered the true divine way.

If the techniques of the Evil God Path are leaked out, it will only create another evil cultivator who harms people.

"See clearly?"

Chen Sanshi removed the sheepskin scroll.

"See clearly."

The masked cultivator said in a deep voice, "We can exchange it, but I can only give you a thousand spirit stones. After all, the scroll seems to be more valuable on the surface, but I still need to find a way to sell it later. At most, I can give you a recipe for the Qingling Pill."

The Qingling Pill is a mid-grade first-tier pill that can improve the cultivation efficiency of the mid-stage Qi Refining realm. It is quite precious, although the pill formula can be sold repeatedly, so the actual price is not that high, but it is still quite good.

"make a deal."

Chen Sanshi finally nodded in agreement.

The two exchanged techniques and reached an agreement after confirming that there were no problems.

Leave the island in the middle of the lake.

Chen Sanshi returned to Baibaolou in the market as quickly as possible to make a large-scale purchase.

[True Martial Pill Materials x15]

Price: 1,500 spirit stones.

【Materials for Nourishing the Essence Pill x20】

Price: Twenty spirit stones.

[Pet Storage Bag]

Price: Fifty spirit stones.

【Huanglong Pill x20】

Price: 160 spirit stones.

[Cleansing Elixir Materials x5]

Price: Twenty-five spirit stones.

Total expenditure: 1,755 spirit stones.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Chen Sanshi was still short 25 spirit stones, so he had no choice but to ask for the spirit stones that should have belonged to Xiao Daigua from selling the flying sword: "Lend them to me for a while, and I'll pay you back when I refine pills and sell them."

Zhao Zhao had barely warmed the spirit stones she had just received when she felt a pang of heartache: "W-Will you pay me back?"

"I'll return it."

Chen Sanshi snatched the bag and poured all the spirit stones onto the table, finally managing to collect the full amount.

Everything was put into the storage bag.

They headed straight for the shantytown.

The next step is to obtain the Jing Shen Fruit, which will complete the journey. Then, we can return to Dong Sheng Shen Zhou and begin preparing to break through to the True Power Realm.

"Let's go."

Chen Sanshi put Qianxun into his storage bag, then led Zhaozhao to the shantytown. Following the numbers on the wooden signs, they found house number A and D, and then gently knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Wei at home?"

"who?"

A woman's voice rang out from inside the room.

“We are Senior Wei’s friends,” Zhao Zhao replied.

"Then... fellow Daoist, please come in."

Although the environment in the shantytowns was poor, there was still a basic level of security. No one would cause trouble in broad daylight, otherwise the market would not be able to operate.
