Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 26: Little Spirit Gathering Formation

The news of the Qiankun Association being bloodily massacred spread throughout the entire market on the second day.

Although there were various speculations, everyone knew that the Qiankun Association must have offended some powerful figure.

Overnight, Yue Heng, the seventh-level Qi Refining master and backbone of the association, was almost completely slaughtered.

To accomplish such a feat, the perpetrator must be at least at the peak of Qi Refining, or even a Foundation Building senior.

Since the Qiankun Association took over the scattered market in the market, not only did they raise the stall fees, but they also bullied and forcibly acquired talismans, making enemies with too many people.

What's even more strange is the attitude of the Azure Mystery Sect.

Everyone knows that without the support of several outer disciples from the Azure Mystery Sect, how could the Qiankun Association dare to be so arrogant?

But after this incident, the Azure Mystery Sect acted as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, according to informed sources, several outer disciples have already been sent back to the sect this morning.

This is quite intriguing.

No one would have expected that it was a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator who bloodily massacred the Qiankun Association.

Su Fan was completely unaware of the rumors in the market.

He didn't have the time to care about these trivial matters. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, holding a storage bag in his hand.

This was Yue Heng's storage bag, which was about the size of five squares.

Su Fan took out the things inside, piling them up into a small mountain.

There were Law Weapons, talismans, pills, and various cultivation resources of all kinds.

From these messy things, it could be seen that this guy was definitely a bandit cultivator in the past.

First, there were spirit stones, eight middle-grade ones, and over a thousand low-grade ones.

Then there were pills, five bottles of "Element Nurturing Pills" for mid-level Qi Refining cultivators, as well as dozens of bottles of various auxiliary pills.

There were a total of three Law Weapons, including the low-grade defensive Law Weapon "Mysterious Turtle Shield," the middle-grade offensive Law Weapon "Azure Rainbow Sword," and the high-grade Law Weapon "Shadowless Needle."

Although the "Mysterious Turtle Shield" was a low-grade Law Weapon, it could withstand the attacks of four high-grade talismans in succession, so its effect was not bad.

Currently, it had lost quite a bit of spirituality and needed to be nurtured for a while, but it didn't need to be repaired.

Su Fan planned to keep this Law Weapon. Although there were many offensive Law Weapons on the market, there were not many defensive ones.

Moreover, they were all expensive, and even with spirit stones, it was difficult to buy a good one.

The middle-grade Law Weapon "Azure Rainbow Sword" had average attack power, but it could be kept as a backup.

Su Fan picked up the "Shadowless Needle" and carefully examined it.

It was over two inches long, pitch black all over, shimmering with a blue light.

This was a very rare treasure, even among high-grade Law Weapons, it could be considered a fine piece.

In the future, the "Shadowless Needle" would be Su Fan's main combat Law Weapon. It was very suitable for him, and it could definitely achieve unexpected victories at critical moments.

In addition to the three Law Weapons, there were also two sets of formation arrays.

It's unknown where Yue Heng got them from, but most of the formation arrays were from the Central Plains.

These things had average effects and were not cheap, so they were rarely seen in the Western Wasteland.

Su Fan also had no experience. If he had used the "Thunder Law Eye" to scan before entering the courtyard, he could easily detect any abnormalities.

The most important part of a formation array was the formation eye, a jade talisman inscribed with a simple Spirit Gathering formation, combined with eighteen subsidiary talismans to form a formation.

It was a bit mediocre, but better than nothing.

Su Fan thought that besides these, there wouldn't be anything particularly eye-catching.

Who would have thought that among the dozen or so books, he would find a secret technique called "Misty Smoke Steps."

When cultivated to perfection, it could make one's body movement as fast as lightning, able to create an afterimage to confuse the opponent.

Su Fan immediately became excited. This secret technique was quite good. It could completely integrate with the Divine Ability "Thunder Ghost Steps."

By devouring this secret technique, not only could it enhance the ability of the Divine Ability, but it could also increase the proficiency of the "Thunder Ghost Steps."

As for the remaining things, there was nothing worth paying attention to.

They were just some books, talismans, spirit herbs, and artifact refining materials, and there were quite a few of them.

Unfortunately, they were all things he couldn't use, so he could only exchange them for spirit stones.

As for the other things from Independent Cultivators, there's no need to mention them.

Apart from a few hundred spirit stones, which is worth some spirit stones, there are also a dozen or so storage bags and over twenty Low Grade Law Weapons.

Su Fan's vision has long surpassed what it used to be, and he no longer values ordinary things.

What Su Fan wants the most is actually the Rank Two jade talisman "Shangli Xuan Water Cover," but unfortunately it was used up by Yue Heng.

Having witnessed the power of a Rank Two jade talisman, he now dreams of getting one for himself.

Unfortunately, talismans like the ones used in the Foundation Building Stage or the treasures used in the Gold Core Stage are often hard to come by.

Even if they exist, they are usually specially made for the descendants of the Foundation Building or Gold Core cultivators, so they are very precious.

Just as Su Fan was putting away his things, he heard a sound coming from the courtyard.

Without asking, he knew that Ye Tianhe had come again.

Old Ye pushed open the door and walked into the room, smiling when he saw Su Fan.

"I asked for you today and managed to get you some rewards. Do you want spirit stones, pills, or Law Weapons?"

As soon as Su Fan heard this, he became interested and eagerly brewed a pot of spirit tea for Old Ye, pouring it for him attentively.

"Anything will do?"

"Of course, I personally asked, so they dare not refuse. But it shouldn't be too much, just about right."

"Do you have any Rank Two jade talismans?"

"Pfft..."

Ye Tianhe, who was drinking tea, sprayed it out.

He coughed a few times and wiped his mouth.

"What did you say? You're really something. Why don't you want treasures?"

"Treasures are fine too, I'm not picky..."

Ye Tianhe was amused and pointed at Su Fan, unable to speak for a while.

"Then I'll give you spirit stones. Buy whatever you want."

Su Fan immediately objected. He didn't lack spirit stones now.

Moreover, some things from the Immortal Sect couldn't be bought no matter how much money you spent in the market.

If he didn't take this opportunity to get some good things from the Azure Mystery Sect, he wouldn't have another chance.

"Hehe, I was just joking earlier. Can you help me get a High Grade protective Law Weapon?"

After taking a sip of spirit tea, Old Ye shook his head. "You really dare to ask for anything. How about something else?"

After thinking for a long time, Su Fan finally thought of something he wanted.

"If I want footwork or spells and techniques related to spiritual perception, that should be fine, right?"

Ye Tianhe put down his teacup and stared at Su Fan for a while.

"Your footwork and techniques are already on par with others' escape techniques. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew."

After he finished speaking, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and threw it to Su Fan.

"This is a decent spiritual perception technique. Even if the Azure Mystery Sect has it, they won't give it to you. I happened to have one that I confiscated from a demonic cultivator. It should be enough."

Su Fan took the jade slip and chuckled.

"Then I don't want anything else. I'll just take the spirit stones."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tianhe said, "Your aptitude isn't that great. How about asking for a small Spirit Gathering Array?"

Su Fan was a little confused. What was that?

"Sitting in a small Spirit Gathering Array while cultivating will accelerate the gathering of spiritual energy. The cultivation effect will be at least twice as good as usual."

After hearing Old Ye's words, Su Fan's eyes immediately lit up.

"This is good, this is good. I want a small Spirit Gathering Array."

If he had this thing, his cultivation speed would be even faster. In a few more months, he would be able to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.
