The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"May I ask if you are interested in buying a Law Weapon, or selling something?"

"We accept all kinds of items in our store, and offer fair prices without deceiving anyone."

The shopkeeper at Qingfeng had small eyes, a chubby face, and looked to be around 40 years old. He appeared shrewd and capable, speaking with a smile.

Li Qing glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper, I came here to sell some items."

Saying that, he took out a Law Weapon from his Universe Bag.

This Law Weapon was a sword, about three feet long, entirely black with a strange pattern on the blade, emitting a mysterious aura.

Looking at the flying sword, the shopkeeper's face showed a hint of surprise, and he glanced at Li Qing.

"This is a flying sword Law Weapon."

"However, this Law Weapon has been affected by the aura of some mutated cultivators. To remove the aura, it will require quite an effort."

"Its value has been greatly reduced."

Li Qing's expression remained indifferent, "What price are you willing to offer?"

Qingfeng smiled faintly, "Law Weapons are divided based on their type and effect."

"They are categorized as ordinary Law Weapons and premium Law Weapons. Despite having the same power, the difference in their effectiveness is more than 50%."

"Your Law Weapon is just an ordinary one, and its market price is about 10 Essence Qi stones."

"However, due to the influence of the mutated aura, its maximum value is 6.5 Essence Qi stones."

"If you agree, I can purchase it at this price."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing furrowed his brows slightly.

Shaking his head, he said, "Your offer is too low, you're cutting off 30% directly."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you may not know."

"The production of Law Weapons mostly involves various precious materials, which accounts for about 50% of the cost. We also need to hire various artifact refining cultivators, which increases the cost by another 15%."

"Basically, I am purchasing your Law Weapon at cost price."

"To remove the mutated aura from the Law Weapon, we also need to hire cultivators with purifying abilities, which will further increase the cost by at least 10%."

"The maximum profit from purchasing a Law Weapon is only 25%."

"The profit from our own store's Law Weapons is as high as 35%."

"You can ask around on this street, and you will find that the price I'm offering is definitely the highest."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing frowned, "Then I will inquire first and come back later."

After that, he took back the Law Weapon and put it back into his Universe Bag.

Qingfeng smiled faintly as he saw Li Qing off at the door.

Li Qing went to another shop selling Law Weapons and came out after a while.

After wandering around, he returned to the Baoyue Tower.

Because the prices offered by other shops were even lower, willing to offer only 5 Essence Qi stones.

He asked some Independent Cultivators, and their prices did not exceed 5 stones either.

They were all planning to buy low and sell high.

Qingfeng watched Li Qing return and greeted him with a smile, "Customer, please come in!"

Li Qing looked at Qingfeng, "I have many Law Weapons like this, can the price be raised a bit, to 7 Essence Qi stones? How about that?"

Qingfeng looked at Li Qing, his heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Fellow Daoist seems to have made a fortune, is it from the Temple of the Heavenly Maidens?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's heart stirred slightly, and he said calmly, "There's no need to inquire about that."

"Hehe, alright, if you have more than 20 Law Weapons, I can raise the price to 7 Essence Qi stones for you."

Li Qing nodded and took out a storage bag, "Take a look for yourself."

Qingfeng took a look and his expression changed instantly, "Fellow Daoist is impressive, a total of 27 Law Weapons, all of ordinary grade."

"The total price is 189 Essence Qi stones, and I'll give you 190 stones."

Upon hearing this price, Li Qing's face showed a slight smile, "Good!"

Qingfeng casually reached into his Universe Bag and took out a Universe Bag.

He reached into the Universe Bag and took out a wooden box, from which he took out 10 stones and said, "Here are 190 high-grade Essence Qi stones."

"Please count them, Fellow Daoist."

Li Qing nodded and opened the wooden box, inside which were neatly arranged rows of Essence Qi stones.

After confirming the number, Li Qing nodded slightly, "No problem."

Qingfeng took out all the Law Weapons from Li Qing's Universe Bag and put them into his own Universe Bag, then handed it back to Li Qing.

Li Qing put the Essence Qi stones into it, and then slightly bowed to Qingfeng before leaving.

Watching Li Qing leave, Qingfeng's face showed a hint of indifference.

"It seems that this person has obtained the Law Weapons of the Independent Cultivators and demons from the Temple of the Heavenly Maidens."

"According to the cultivators in the city, when they went to clean up the battlefield yesterday, they didn't find anything, and the bodies were all looted."

"The action was so quick, they must have been at the scene at that time to have the time to search through hundreds of demon corpses."

"There is a certain possibility that they are remnants of the Temple of the Heavenly Maidens."

After some thought, he produced a talisman in his hand, which flashed and turned into a mysterious message that went off into the distance.

Li Qing left Hundred Gates Alley, but he didn't really leave. Instead, he changed his appearance in a small alley, transforming into a rugged man and putting on a new black robe.

The change in his physique was enough to conceal his identity.

Just now, he had entered in the form of a 5-foot-tall dwarf.

The great battle of the Temple of the Heavenly Maidens had a wide impact, and there were definitely people who had gone to the battlefield of the Temple of the Heavenly Maidens to search for loot.

However, they were most likely to return disappointed, but the news would definitely spread.

Li Qing had anticipated this, so he had changed his appearance early to make it impossible for anyone to track him.

Due to the presence of the Concealment Bead on his body, no aura leaked out.

The real information would not be exposed at all.

But in order to make himself appear normal, he had applied fragrance to his body when he entered Hundred Gates Alley.

The "Wheel of Life and Death Fire" had already swept through his body, burning away all the fragrance aura on him.

After making all the preparations, he entered Hundred Gates Alley again.

He walked straight to the Scripture Pavilion and came out after a while.

The cultivation techniques he had collected were successfully sold, but only the set from the Three Rivers Sect, which was said to come from the Hall of the Equal Ghost King.

The price was quite good, a full 50 Essence Qi stones.

He had gained a total of 240 Essence Qi stones from this trip.

After selling them, he chose to leave immediately.

Just a few breaths after he left, some figures had quietly appeared in Hundred Gates Alley, seemingly searching for something.

But they were too late, as Li Qing had already quietly left and returned to his inn.

At this point, he had transformed into an ordinary-looking man, and no one could recognize him.

Li Qing deeply understood the dangers of this world. Since stepping into Jade City, he had never revealed his true identity.

Sitting outside the window of the inn, he observed the street outside.

Now was not a good time to leave, as there might be people waiting at the city gate.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure leading a group of people towards Hundred Gates Alley.

"Hehe, it seems they are quick to act."
