To Greencloud City, the end of the Qingyun Peak's banquet was only the beginning.

The envoys from the Profound Spirit Sect had just arrived, and in order to welcome the disciple selection that was going to happen in a month, all the families were making their utmost efforts, hoping to send their own disciples in so that they could achieve a meteoric rise in status.

At that time, Lin Jian's strength would undergo a huge leap, and it would be hard for him to guess exactly how strong he would become.

In this realm, some people's speed when breaking through to the 'Fire' attribute was extraordinarily fast, but the speed when breaking through to the 'Water' attribute became surprisingly slow. The reason for this was that the affinity of a warrior was different. Some people who were close to the 'fire' attribute but opposed to the 'water' attribute would create a slow and slow phenomenon.

But...

If a martial practitioner completed the Five Elements Sword when they were at Body Refinement, their affinity towards the five elements would far surpass that of an ordinary person. At that time, once he reached Mortal Realm, his cultivation speed would increase by leaps and bounds.

"When Bai Cangtian cultivated the Fire Elemental Sword Art back then, he had gone to a lava cave in the Great Wastelands. However, with my current strength, I am still unable to go into the Great Desolate alone … "Originally, I was worried about this matter, but I didn't expect that after a meal at the Clear Sky Banquet, someone would present me with this rare fire element intent!"

Lin Jian was in the Violet Bamboo Pavilion, holding onto the will of the fire element, his face revealed a smile.

This fire element intent was an extremely rare and precious spiritual object in the Nine Regions Continent. Just the size of the thumb was enough to make it worth a middle ranked Xuan Artifact. Its effect was to allow warriors to directly come into contact with the purest fire elemental energy. It could be used to cultivate or make Xuan Artifact s, talismans, etc.

Apparently...

The Fire Element Insight in Yang Fan's hands, was originally something he had planned to use to refine and absorb cultivation only when he reached the realm of fire, to use it as a reward for his cultivation, he had never thought that he would lose, he had lost to Lin Jian this time, and would definitely be in an extremely bad mood.

However, all of these were things that Lin Jian had to consider.

"Hu!"

Lin Jian sat crossed legged on the ground and took a deep breath. He calmed the meridians and elemental energy in his body and began to refine the Fire Essence Insight.

When he enveloped the piece of Fire Spirit Jade with his spirit energy, an extremely hot and pure spirit energy seeped out of the Fire Spirit Jade, and then, Lin Jian used his own spirit energy to draw it into his body, along his meridians, and into his dantian. The process was as if he was being roasted on top of a fire.

"This taste is truly unbearable …"

Lin Jian laughed bitterly, even with his ability to endure pain, he felt that he could not persevere any longer.

At this moment, a refreshing feeling suddenly dispelled the heat, like a trickle of flowing water.

"Hmm?"

The fire intent instantly disappeared, and Lin Jian immediately frowned.

It turned out that when the fire intent entered his body, Lin Jian had previously trained in the Water Element Sword Art, and the water vapor that was produced in his body started to defend, destroying the foreign 'intruders' completely. Although it resolved Lin Jian's pain, it also caused him to pay a heavy price.

Immediately, Lin Jian did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although this water element will be a good thing to passively protect the Lord, but at the moment, he had kind intentions of helping.

It was incompatible with fire and water!

Lin Jian had previously cultivated the Water Element Sword Art, but now that he had absorbed the Fire Essence Insight, the attributes in his body were different.

Lin Jian started muttering to himself, rubbing his chin, and said secretly: "Normal warriors practice in the order of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Although they also train in the Water Intent first, and then in the Fire Intent, before that, the warrior's body would already have the Metal, Wood, and Two Intent. However, I have yet to absorb the Wood Element Insight, so something is wrong with this ring. "

After thinking about the crux of the issue, the matter was easy to settle.

"It seems that I need to buy some spiritual items that contain the will of nature. This way, not only can I absorb the Fire Essence Spirit Art and master the Fire Element Sword Art, I can also master the Wood Element Sword as well, killing two birds with one stone." Lin Jian's eyes lit up, and he left Violet Bamboo Pavilion.

After a moment, he arrived at Void Merchant Guild.

According to what Lin Jian knew, in Void Merchant Guild, there was a spiritual object called the 'Ephemeral Flower'.

This type of spiritual object was very special and had an extremely short lifespan. Normally, when there was a flower bud, it would instantly blossom and wither the moment it saw sunlight.

Therefore, there is a folklore, known as the 'ephemeral blooming', used to describe the blooming of the flower when the beauty, and the instantaneous melting.

However, even though the Ephemeral Flower only bloomed for a split-second, at that moment, it would be filled with vitality and the will of nature. If a dying person could see the blooming of an Ephemeral Flower, it would at least extend their lifespan by a long period of time.

What Lin Jian had his eyes on, was the wood power that was brewing in the Twilight Flower. If he could purchase three of them, that moment of plant power would be more than enough for him to cultivate the Wood Spirit Sword Technique.

But...

The value of this kind of spiritual item must be very high. On average, each Ephemeral Flower would sell for around 800 taels of gold, which was much higher than the Life Yuan Pill.

As for Lin Jian, he still had three thousand gold notes, so he could only buy three Twilight Flowers. In his later cultivation, if he needed anything precious, he would have to think of ways to earn money.

"Poor literature rich martial arts, poor literature rich martial arts …"

Lin Jian walked through the door of Void Merchant Guild and muttered with a bitter smile: "The ancients did not bully me!"

The amount of resources needed to become a martial artist was simply too much. Just the monthly allowance of a hundred taels of silver from the elite disciples of the Lin Family was not enough to support Lin Jian's current cultivation expenditure.

"It seems that I have to find a stable ability to earn money."

Lin Jian thought.

After arriving at Void Merchant Guild, there was immediately a beautiful servant welcoming him into the guest hall. Because of the matter of Lin Yan and the Natal Opening Pill, many people here knew who he was, and they all knew that he had some sort of special relationship with their Cao Manager.

Therefore, along the way, everyone welcomed Lin Jian with smiles on their faces.

"Go find your Cao Manager."

Lin Jian said to the servant. A business like the Twilight Flower, was already not something an ordinary receptionist could take responsibility of, especially when he wanted to buy three of them in one go. Its value was already close to a single Breaking Yuan Pill, and only the shopkeepers could make the decision to buy it.

"Sure, please wait a moment."

The servant nodded his head gently, bowed and said, "I will go and invite Cao Manager over."

"Yes."

Lin Jian nodded his head, after sitting down, he picked up the teacup and sipped on it, and not long later, the servant returned. However, there was no sign of Cao Manager by his side, causing Lin Jian to frown slightly, thinking, is Cao Manager not in the merchant guild?

"Sir Lin, Cao Manager is currently receiving distinguished guests in the Profound private room. However, we have finished discussing that business deal. You can come with me now to meet with Cao Manager." The waiter responded with a smile.

"Alright!"

Lin Jian nodded and followed the servant out of the living room and into the second floor's private room.

At this moment, in front of the Mysterious Room's door.

Cao Manager was full of smiles, talking to a white haired white robed elder, it seemed like he was sending off the guests.

"Master Chen, we, the Chamber of Commerce, will take care of your order as soon as possible. We guarantee that we will send it to your guild's warehouse before the time comes."

"Yes."

The old man in white nodded, turned around, walked down the stairs and left.

Right at that moment, he brushed past Lin Jian.

The white robed elder looked carefully, and after seeing Lin Jian's handsome face, he frowned. He let out a disdainful snort, then turned his gaze elsewhere, and left with a look of disdain, as if he had seen something dirty, and was extremely annoyed.

"…?"

Lin Jian looked astonished, he did not know what had happened.

However, a moment later, he found information about the Master Chen from the original owner's memories.
