I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 365: Pink Soulstone

"There's no need to worry about that. The Red Sun Immortal City is so big, there's nothing we can't find. We can just buy it tomorrow. However, we need to carefully consider the location for setting up the Demon Summoning Array."

"In my opinion, it's better to set it up at..."

While these three cultivators of the demonic path were discussing how to set up a conspiracy against Lin Qing, they were unaware that Lin Qing had already detected their presence and was actively searching for them.

On the second day, these three Gold Core cultivators began to busy themselves. As for the task of buying materials, it naturally fell to the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level among them, a Gold Core cultivator at the third level. He had no complaints about this, after all, the other two were both at the mid-stage of Gold Core. Who else would do such a task if not him?

This cultivator disguised his cultivation level as the mid-stage of Foundation Building, which was considered not weak in the Red Sun Immortal City. He also appeared as an old man.

Unfortunately, today was not his lucky day. Although the Pink Soulstone was only a second-grade superior material and not particularly precious, he had visited six or seven shops in the city and none of them had it. This made him somewhat unhappy, but he had to continue searching. After all, without the Pink Soulstone, the Demon Summoning Array could not be set up.

When he walked into a relatively large shop, little did he know that someone was smiling at him from a distance of more than ten zhang away.

"Fellow Daoist, please come upstairs. Our Thousand Materials Shop is one of the top ten material shops in the city. No matter what Fellow Daoist needs, we will definitely satisfy you."

As soon as this Gold Core cultivator entered the Thousand Materials Shop, a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building inside quickly came forward with a smile. He didn't dare to neglect someone at the mid-stage of Foundation Building. Moreover, transactions targeting Foundation Building cultivators were conducted on the second floor, which was why he said this first.

However, this Gold Core cultivator had no intention of going upstairs. He just asked coldly, "I need a Pink Soulstone. Do you have it here?"

"Pink Soulstone?"

Upon hearing this material, the cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building furrowed his brows and began to think.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside. Surprisingly, he was also a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Building. This made the cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building, who was still thinking, not dare to neglect him either. He quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please go upstairs first. I will attend to you as soon as I finish with this Fellow Daoist."

"Mm."

The cultivator who came in later nodded and went upstairs.

The Gold Core cultivator who was still downstairs looked at the cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Building going upstairs. Out of caution, he released his divine sense to investigate. After finding nothing suspicious, he retracted his divine sense.

"Do you have the Pink Soulstone I need or not? If not, I'll go to another shop. Don't waste my time." This Gold Core cultivator spoke again, his tone becoming colder.

"Well... let me think. It seems that we had a Pink Soulstone a few years ago, but this kind of material is not in high demand among cultivators. We stopped selling it later, and I think we transferred it to another shop. If Fellow Daoist is not in a hurry, we can try to coordinate for a few days. There shouldn't be a problem." After thinking for a while, the cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building spoke up.

"A few days?" The Gold Core cultivator glanced at the cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building. In his opinion, waiting for a few days would only waste time. With this effort, he might as well continue searching in the city. He didn't believe that he couldn't find a Pink Soulstone.

"Fellow Daoist, do you really need the Pink Soulstone?"

Suddenly, just as he was about to leave, a voice came from upstairs.

The Gold Core demonic cultivator immediately stopped in his tracks, and the Foundation Building early-stage cultivators also looked up in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. I came here today to buy some materials and happened to overhear that you need Soul Powder Stone. Coincidentally, I have a piece that I don't usually use. Since you need it, why don't I sell it to you? It saves you the trouble of running around, and I can make a small profit." The voice from upstairs came again, and a hint of joy appeared on the face of the Gold Core demonic cultivator.

He was willing to avoid unnecessary trips, and he didn't doubt that the cultivator upstairs had the item. After all, it wasn't something particularly precious and could easily be found in the mid-stage of Foundation Building. Besides, he hadn't concealed his conversation with the early-stage cultivator earlier, so it was normal for him to have overheard.

"If you really have it, I can offer a price that's one percent higher. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?" The Gold Core demonic cultivator spoke up.

"Two percent!"

A faint voice came from upstairs.

Although he knew that the person upstairs was trying to raise the price, it dispelled the last trace of doubt in the Gold Core demonic cultivator's mind. He no longer worried and nodded, saying, "Two percent it is. Fellow Daoist, please come down. I have the spirit stones ready."

Soon after, the mid-stage cultivator from upstairs came down and took out a fist-sized pink stone, which was indeed the Soul Powder Stone. The Gold Core demonic cultivator also took out three hundred spirit stones, two percent more than the usual price. The two successfully completed the transaction.

After obtaining the Soul Powder Stone, the Gold Core demonic cultivator didn't want to linger and left directly.

Behind him, the early-stage cultivator looked at the mid-stage cultivator with envy and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're really lucky today. You managed to sell the Soul Powder Stone at such a high price. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. If you need anything, our Thousand Materials Shop will definitely have it."

"No problem, no problem." The mid-stage cultivator smiled and nodded as he watched the Gold Core demonic cultivator's figure.

Not long after, the mid-stage cultivator left the Thousand Materials Shop, leaving the early-stage cultivator with a smile on his face. In the previous transaction, not only did the mid-stage cultivator take out the three hundred spirit stones he received, but he also gave an extra one hundred. How could he not be happy?

After the mid-stage cultivator left, he quickly disappeared around corners.

As for the materials he bought for four hundred spirit stones, he didn't even bother to look at them. He seemed to have a specific target in mind and was chasing after it.

This person was none other than Lin Qing.

It was quite a coincidence that Lin Qing's powerful divine sense inadvertently swept past the Gold Core demonic cultivator before he entered the Thousand Materials Shop. Afterward, Lin Qing disguised himself as a mid-stage cultivator and entered as well, in order to figure out the purpose of the Gold Core demonic cultivator's visit. When he heard that the person was looking for a Soul Powder Stone, Lin Qing happened to have that item in his storage bag. He made a quick decision and sold the Soul Powder Stone to the Gold Core demonic cultivator.

Furthermore, he had already planted a hidden divine sense on the Soul Powder Stone, allowing him to secretly track it.

As for why he didn't directly plant it on the person, Lin Qing did it for safety reasons. After all, he couldn't fully understand the methods of this Gold Core demonic cultivator. If he had planted it on the person and it was discovered, it would have alerted the enemy. Planting it on the Soul Powder Stone was much safer.

And as Lin Qing had expected, after confirming that it was indeed the Soul Powder Stone, the Gold Core demonic cultivator didn't pay much attention to it. He put it away in his storage bag and left, showing that he didn't have many suspicions.
