The Path to Immortality

His curiosity was confirmed, and the casual cultivator couldn't help but said: "The Chen family's Yuan Ning Dan is very effective, and its medicinal properties have always been very stable. Unfortunately, the price is not cheap, otherwise I would definitely come here every day!"

"Thank you for your patronage!"

Fang Ping's tone was indifferent, and he still sat where he was, not even getting up.

But neither the casual cultivator nor the beautiful wife of the Chen family thought there was any problem with this.

What's wrong with a monk who can refine Yuan Ning Dan and has a arrogant attitude?

In fact, the fact that Fang Ping could say thank you for your patronage already made the casual cultivator feel a little flattered. He racked his brains to compliment Fang Ping, and then left quite excitedly.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, your spirit stone is here."

The beautiful woman took the tray herself and handed the spirit stone on it to Fang Ping.

When the body was close, there was still a faint fragrance lingering, but the beautiful woman seemed not to notice it, not caring that someone might take advantage of her.

However, Fang Ping is not a Cao thief...

Well, it could be.

But not before foundation building.

He put away the spirit stone without looking away, looking like a gentleman and concentrating on the road, and said: "This time I want fifty ingredients for the Yuan Ning Dan, and by the way, I will buy ten more ingredients for the detoxification pill and the blood-activating pill."

Detoxifying pills can remove common toxins.

The blood-activating pill can build muscle and restore blood, speeding up the healing of injuries.

This is the low-grade basic recipe that Fang Ping has received from Fangshi over the past year or so.

For him who has been able to refine Yuan Ning Dan, these two elixirs are not difficult.

In this way, Fang Ping had prepared the five types of elixirs commonly used by monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training: the Bigu Pill, the Qi Restoration Pill, the Blood-Activating Pill, the Detoxification Pill, and the Yuan-Condensing Pill.

After hearing Fang Ping's request, the beautiful woman immediately ordered her men to prepare.

While waiting, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Please forgive me for asking a question. Why is there less material for refining the Yuan Ning Dan this time?"

Ordinary detoxification pills are far less profitable than the Yuan Ning Yuan pill.

Fang Ping glanced at her indifferently: "This is Xu's personal matter, and the shopkeeper is not concerned about it. But you can rest assured that our cooperation will not be affected, and we will still focus on refining the Yuan Ning Dan in the future."

When Fang Ping pointed out what she was most worried about, the beautiful woman immediately calmed down and giggled: "Fellow Daoist Xu is very good at alchemy. People from other alchemy shops are already secretly inquiring about it. I am also worried about being poached... …”

She said softly and weakly: "Actually, I come from the Chen family, a cultivating immortal family. My Chen family..."

She was about to make carefully prepared terms to win over her, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Fang Ping: "Sorry, Xu has no plans to join the monk family and become a guest minister for the time being."

"I was too abrupt. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist Xu."

The beautiful woman apologized hurriedly, but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart. She didn't expect that Fang Ping didn't even listen to the conditions.

It seems that he really has no intention of joining the Chen family.

She actually noticed that Fang Ping came to Luoyunfang a little more frequently, probably because the cave where he practiced was not far from here.

Combining some details, she vaguely guessed that Fang Ping might be from the nearest Luoyang Sect, and even had a real alchemist as his master behind him.

With this background, even if Fang Ping did not agree to cooperate, the Chen family would not dare to use some means, let alone force it.

Otherwise, once the news comes out, Luoyang Sect will definitely be furious. The Chen family may at least be forced to leave Luoyunfang, or at worst the entire family may be in danger of being destroyed!

"With that, Xu took his leave."

Fang Ping flicked his sleeves and strode out of the Chen Family Alchemy Shop.

After walking around the city as usual and finding no one following him, Fang Ping found a deserted corner, changed his clothes, and then went straight to the Treasure Pavilion.

The depletion of medium-sized mineral veins is such a major event that it must be a top secret of the sect.

Even an outer disciple like Liu Wuchen, who was a casual cultivator, could hear some rumors, which proves that this matter can no longer be concealed.

The senior officials of the Distance Sect could no longer hold back and were preparing to send people to survey and find new veins of spiritual stones. I am afraid that the deadline is not far away.

In the worst case scenario, in the next quarter, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall may release miscellaneous tasks such as conducting preliminary surveys and drawing topographic maps.

Because of this, Fang Ping reduced the purchase of alchemy materials for the next period of time and prepared to concentrate resources and purchase a few magical weapons to fully arm himself.

Pass through the lively trading area and enter the Treasure Pavilion.

"I wonder what the guests need?"

The female cultivator greeted him warmly.

Fang Ping thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look at the protective weapons first."

After all, staying in peace is the way to go!

Under the reception of the female cultivator, Fang Ping made a selection and fell in love with a jade pendant that exuded both yin and yang energy.

The female cultivator introduced: "This treasure is called [Liangyi Lingpei], and it is a low-grade magic weapon. After injecting magic power, it can release a protective magic shield formed by the two qi of yin and yang. The two qi of yin and yang create and restrain each other, and the cycle is endless. The defensive effect is top-notch among many low-grade magic weapons.”

After inputting mana and trying it out, Fang Ping was very satisfied with the effect of the jade pendant.

"I wonder what the price is?"

"This treasure contains two hundred and eighty spiritual stones."

To be honest, this price was slightly beyond Fang Ping's expectations.

An ordinary low-grade magic weapon only has one or two hundred spirit stones. Fang Ping's Tianyang Sword costs one hundred and sixty spirit stones.

However, considering the quality of this jade pendant, the price is very reasonable.

Fang Ping picked up the Liangyi Lingpei, examined it again for a moment, and finally made a decision.

After easily making a deal, the female cultivator looked at Fang Ping with a little more eagerness in her eyes.

But the purchase is not over yet.

"Do you have any flying magic weapons?"

The female cultivator's eyes lit up. Flying magic weapons are more expensive than ordinary magic weapons. This is another big deal that is no less than the Liangyi Lingpei.

She immediately took Fang Ping to the counter of flying magic weapons.

After a moment, Fang Ping had an inclination in his heart. He pointed to one of the red flying swords that was somewhat similar in shape to the Tianyang Sword and said, "Please take this flying sword and have a look."

As a cultivator, you must fly with a sword. It's authentic!

If you step on other strange magic weapons, it always gives people a feeling of discomfort.

The female cultivator presented the flying sword and introduced it: "This sword is called Liuhuo Flying Sword, a low-grade flying magic weapon. Not only can it fly with a sword, but if necessary, it can also be used to fight against the enemy, but the effect is not as good as the magic weapon dedicated to attack."

After waiting patiently for a moment, seeing Fang Ping showing satisfaction while trying the sword casually, she quoted the price: "Thank you for the favor, two hundred and sixty spirit stones!"

"I'll buy it!"

With the accumulation of more than a year, Fang Ping is now rich.

He bid for the spirit stone and got the flying sword he wanted.

"Do you have a Taoist robe?"

Just when the female cultivator thought that the cultivator in front of him was about to finish shopping, Fang Ping made a request for the third time.

Like the previous magic sword, he was still wearing two sets of disciple clothes issued by the sect.

This Taoist robe, like the Sanyang Fu Sword, was not a real low-grade magic weapon. It only had some auxiliary effects of dust removal, water repellency, and damage prevention.

Fang Ping had wanted to replace it for a long time.
