Chapter 3: Purchase of magical instruments and elixirs (Seeking follow-up reading and investment)
Qi Yuan stepped into the market town and found that it was just as described in the original book. The streets were not very empty, but at least they were not crowded.

Between the pavilions and buildings are rows of quaint attics with banners hanging in front of the doors, marking the names of the shops.

On both sides of the road are stalls set up by some casual cultivators, selling elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments.

The quality can only be described as worrying and cannot be guaranteed.

Along the way, Qi Yuan saw many people dressed strangely, and thought that they must be cultivators from Yuanwu Kingdom who came here.

"Wanbao Tower."

Qi Yuan looked up at the plaque high above, thinking of the treasures that Han Li had exchanged for thousand-year-old spiritual herbs inside.

Especially the golden talisman, which showed its magical power in the blood forbidden land, killed the black dragon, and obtained the spoils and Nangong Wan.

Then he became Li Huayuan's disciple, improved the practice environment in the valley, and laid a phased foundation for future practice.

It cannot be said that it is an important link.

Although he now has enough spirit stones to buy the thousand-year-old elixir, due to the scarcity of the elixir, he cannot buy it even if he has money.

However, there is no need to worry about this for the time being. During this period of time, he asked around to see if there was a person named Han Li in the valley, but received no feedback.

This means that Han Li has not yet joined the Yellow Maple Valley.

Then in the past, when the original owner met Hong Fu, he heard her say that Dong Xuan'er was at the middle level of the Qi training period.

Judging from this, it will take some time to exchange for the gold brick talisman.

"Sir, welcome to Wanbaolou. What can I do for you?"

When Qi Yuan walked into Wanbao Tower, a servant came forward to greet him with a warm smile on his face.

"I want to buy a hundred-year-old ice spirit grass. Does your store sell it?"

Since I'm going to see Hong Fu, I can't go empty-handed. I have to bring some gifts with me as a token of my appreciation.

Originally, Qi Yuan wanted to buy a three or four hundred year old elixir as a gift.

But on second thought, considering his treatment, that thing would be very valuable.

A hundred-year-old elixir is just right, valuable but not in large quantities, suitable for refining some pills for her disciples to take.

"Hundred-year-old Ice Spirit Grass, yes, yes, yes. Please come this way, sir..." The servant was looking forward to Qi Yuan's needs. Although he had landed most of the way, he still maintained his professionalism.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly and followed the servant to the counter.

After a while, the servant brought a wooden box and opened it, saying, "Sir, this is a hundred-year-old ice spirit grass. Do you like it?"

Qi Yuan looked down and saw a green and white spiritual medicine in the wooden box, which exuded a little spiritual energy. He raised his hand and gently touched it, and felt the cool touch...

He said in a deep voice: "Well, I am satisfied, wrap it up."

"Okay." The servant smiled happily. It was rare to see such a straightforward monk.

Qi Yuan saw the boy packing and asked, "Do you have any hidden weapons here..."

When the servant heard that there was still something to be done, he told another person to take over his job and said hurriedly, "Yes, sir, please wait a moment, I will get it right away."

Qi Yuan nodded slightly.

Thinking that apart from the entry-level set, he had no other magical weapons that he could use.

For the sake of life safety, you need to purchase one or two pieces of equipment to arm yourself.

A moment.

The servant came to Qi Yuan with a dozen jade boxes in his arms, opened them one by one and said, "Sir, here are low-level magic weapons such as Shadow Needle, Soaring Cloud Dart, Plum Blossom Dice, Soul-breaking Nail, mid-level magic weapons such as Five Poison Needle, Seven-orifice Bleeding Divine Pearl, and several mid-level defensive magic weapons for you to view at will."

Hmm? This guy has good eyesight, he can roughly guess that my defense is not good.

As expected of a Wanbaolou waiter, he has quite a keen eye.

Qi Yuan is a novice in this area, so it is not surprising that he is seen through.

There was only one thin silver needle in the Five Poison Needles box, but the purple sparkle on the needle tip indicated that it was highly poisonous. Once pierced into the body, the consequences would be disastrous. A box next to it contained five scarlet beads. If someone was injured by them, they would bleed to death immediately.

As for low-level magic weapons, there is no need to even look at them. They may be of some use if you buy them now, but they will not last too long and will eventually just stay in your storage bag and gather dust.

A mid-level defensive magic weapon, consisting of a small bell, a small shield, and a piece of red silk.

Qi Yuan watched for a while, then took out the Five Poison Formation and the Seven Aperture Bleeding Divine Pearl, and the defensive weapon was the Flowing Fire Bell.

The servant looked at Qi Yuan buying so much and his smile became more enthusiastic. He thought he was so lucky today as he met a big client.

The next time wages are paid, another commission will be credited to the account.

Qi Yuan put marks on various magical instruments to facilitate simple control, but it would require some practice to achieve the level of being able to use them at will.

This is to prevent being followed on the way back and to prevent being without means to fight the enemy.

After finishing his work, Qi Yuan thought about leaving Wanbao Tower and returning to Huangfeng Valley.

"Sir, wait a moment..."

Qi Yuan heard the servant's call, stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Is there a problem with the transaction?"

The waiter said hurriedly, "No, no, no, the amount of money you have spent in our store is enough to qualify as a distinguished guest. I would like to ask for your name so that I can treat you differently next time you come to Wanbaolou."

When Qi Yuan heard this, he knew what the servant was planning. It was just a membership level, so he said calmly, "Han Li."

The servant immediately took out a token, quickly engraved the name, showed it to Qi Yuan, and said, "Is it correct, sir?"

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, that's right."

The servant was delighted and quickly handed the token to Qi Yuan, saying, "Sir, when you come to Wanbao Tower to buy cultivation resources in the future, you only need to show the token to get the best treasures. As the token level changes, you can also get discounts."

Qi Yuan held the token, which felt fine, and walked out of Wanbao Tower without saying a word.

The servant behind him shouted, "Sir, please take care."

Having bought all the necessary items, Qi Yuan had no intention of wandering around any longer. He walked out of the market and flew deep into the Taiyue Mountains.

I still remember that when Han Lao Mo walked out of the market, he also went around in circles before returning to Huangfeng Valley.

With the lessons learned from the past, Qi Yuan would naturally follow suit. After all, he bought a lot of items in Wanbaolou, so it was not surprising that he was targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

After a day and a night.

Qi Yuan returned to Huangfeng Valley unharmed.

This time we were lucky, no one followed us along the way.

After returning to the house, Qi Yuan began to refine the magic weapon, and a few days passed intermittently.

On this day, after Qi Yuan tidied up his image, he flew towards Hongfu Cave.

Hong Fu is a Jindan cultivator in Huangfeng Valley. The concealment and defensiveness of his cave are among the best in the valley. Not to mention his status as a menial disciple, even inner disciples cannot disturb him at will.

However, Qi Yuan's ancestors seemed to have a deep connection with Hong Fu. After entering the valley, they left a pass token for him, and only told him that he could come to her anytime if he had any questions.

If it weren't for this situation, Qi Yuan would never have dared to have any other thoughts and try to get close to Hong Buddha.

As long as the source is there, there is room for maneuver.

Now his cultivation is pretty good and can be barely acceptable.

Behavior-wise, he is nice to women, but there are also quality requirements, and signs of frivolity have been improved.

Under all circumstances, no matter how unhappy you, Hongfu, are, you can't lose your temper with the younger generation.

Finally, he presented the hundred-year-old Ice Spirit Grass. Although it was not expensive, it also showed his sincere feelings.

As long as Hongfu is willing to accept the Ice Spirit Grass, it means that the relationship has changed.

If he refuses to accept him, or if he does but is unwilling to take care of him, then after leaving the Bloody Forbidden Land, Run will go to Yue State and stay away from the Yellow Maple Valley.
