Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 559: Chapter 295: A Profit of 700,000 Spirit Stones (2)

"Yes," Luo Dingran said, cupping his fists.

"Thanks," Cheng Zongyang chuckled, preparing to leave. But Luo Dingran called out to him, saying:

"Sir, there’s one more thing. Regarding the cultivation of Five Elements Spirit Pearls mentioned in the booklet you gave me, I made some inquiries and found a note. It said that the price of Five Elements Spirit Monsters is based on their Tier. According to the price list, a suitable Tier Five Five Elements Spirit Monster costs one million five hundred thousand Points. A Tier One costs Fifty Thousand Points."

Cheng Zongyang lost all interest the moment he heard the price. "We’ll hold off on that for now," he said. ’I can’t afford that price.’ "Right, go and look for methods on how to cultivate or find Five Elements Spirit Monsters. See if I can try raising them myself."

Hearing this, Luo Dingran understood Cheng Zongyang’s meaning and nodded. "Yes, I understand."

With nothing else to discuss, Cheng Zongyang changed his mind about leaving. He went to the apothecary, picked up some Elixirs, and returned to his private room to begin his Cultivation.

「Seven days passed while Cheng Zongyang was in Cultivation.」

After coming out of his seclusion, Cheng Zongyang left his residence, preparing to pick something up from the Cyan Dragon Commerce Association.

But as he opened the door to leave, he saw a letter placed at his doorstep.

Ji Lin, who happened to be in the pavilion studying a Cultivation Technique, saw Cheng Zongyang come out and explained the situation.

Only then did Cheng Zongyang learn that Zhao Yonglong had left the letter the day before yesterday.

After reading it, he learned that Zhao Yonglong had prepared one hundred thousand pounds of Spirit Rice and three thousand six hundred pounds of Exotic Beast Blood.

Cheng Zongyang planned to head over after picking up his things from the Commerce Association.

However, as he emerged from the alley and entered the main street, he suddenly felt several pairs of intense eyes fixed on him. He paid them no mind, simply hailing a hired carriage to the Commerce Association.

’I’m being watched.’ He knew it instantly. He also knew why without needing to think about it; he had anticipated this, after all. The buyers weren’t blind. The ones sent to tail him, however, were just some plainly dressed Martial Artists.

But within the County Town, not even a Cultivator could make a move on a bustling street like this. To do so would be to show contempt for the Immortal Sect’s rules.

As long as he didn’t leave the city during the day or his residence at night, he should be fine. Unless, of course, those people were bold enough to break through his Array to get to him.

He arrived at the Cyan Dragon Commerce Association without incident and, led by a staff member, met with Baili Xi once again.

They met in the same place as before. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Baili Xi proactively brought out two sets of Arrays.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, these two Array sets are in this Storage Pouch. The deployment instructions are inside as well. Just follow the steps in the booklet to set them up.

Oh, right. There’s something I should mention. The Array Master added a recycling Restriction to the larger Array. Normally, when the Spiritual Qi inside an Array reaches a saturation point, it gradually compresses into Spiritual Mist, and eventually, Spiritual Liquid.

But this Array doesn’t do that. Once it reaches saturation, the recycling Restriction will activate, automatically absorbing the excess Spiritual Qi. After being processed, the Spiritual Power will be returned to the Five Elements Array Hubs to be recycled, preventing any waste from overflow."

"Excellent, thank you. That’s a great feature!" Cheng Zongyang was delighted; this recycling function would make things much more convenient. He then took out five large chests and placed them on the ground. "Here are the remaining fifty-two thousand Spirit Stones. Please count them."

Baili Xi hadn’t expected Cheng Zongyang to use large chests; he’d assumed he would use a Universal Storage Pouch.

But it made no difference to him. He quickly scanned the contents with his Divine Sense to count them, then nodded. "The amount is correct. Thank you for your business, Fellow Daoist Luo. Is there anything else you need?"

Cheng Zongyang chuckled. "Actually, there is one question. Have you ever heard of things like Five Elements Spirit Monsters?"

As Baili Xi collected the chests on the floor one by one into his Storage Pouch, he replied, "Five Elements Spirit Monsters? Do you mean the Five Elements Demon Spirits formed from absorbing the Power of Five Elements?"

Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment, then gave a slight nod. ’The terminology must be different from the Wilderness World,’ he mused. ’But it should be the same thing.’

Hearing this, Baili Xi shook his head. "That kind of Demon isn’t something an ordinary person can find; they’re extremely rare. Even if one appears, it’s usually taken to an Immortal Sect to claim a bounty."

"The Immortal Sects are offering a bounty?" Cheng Zongyang asked in surprise. He hadn’t noticed that. ’If the Immortal Sects are offering a bounty, then other powers probably can’t compete for them.’

Baili Xi said, "That’s right. This type of Demon is the main ingredient for refining a special Elixir, the Nascent Soul Pill. A Nascent Soul Pill can help a Golden Core expert forcibly shatter their core to form a Nascent Soul, even a Golden Core Cultivator who has no hope of breaking through on their own. You can imagine its value.

It’s said that a Tier One Five Elements Demon Spirit is worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones. You could even trade it to an Immortal Sect for a Foundation Establishment Pill and a chance to become an Outer Disciple. A Tier Two can get you into the Inner Sect and a Foundation Establishment Pill. So, these things are incredibly sought-after and can only be chanced upon, not actively sought."

Cheng Zongyang understood now. It made him very curious about the Tier of the Wood Spirit that had been trapped in the tree by that Divine Daoist to serve as nourishment for the Wood Spirit Pearl.

’I’d guess it was no lower than Tier Six, maybe even higher,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, the Wood Spirit Pearl wouldn’t have surpassed the other Four Element Spirit Pearls to become an Earth Treasure first!’

Cheng Zongyang didn’t press the issue. ’I’ll see if I can buy a cultivation method later. If I can raise them myself, I won’t have to waste Points.’ He cupped his fist. "Then I thank you, Steward. By the way, do you have any Demon Beast Blood? I don’t need much, just a pound or two. How many Spirit Stones?"
