On the plaza of Cloudburst City, all sorts of cultivation items could be seen. It was simply filled with a myriad of wonders.

Most of the people who set up stalls here were rogue cultivators, and similarly, most of the people who came to shop were rogue cultivators. When cultivators with backgrounds needed to buy something, they would choose to go directly to the big shops in the city square to buy or sell something.

However, in the cultivation world, there were very few cultivators with true strength and background. The vast majority of cultivators were rogue cultivators, so the plaza was bustling with people coming and going!

Xu Fan originally followed Xia Weiwei to the plaza. He wanted to gain some knowledge, and at the same time, he wanted to buy some things that he needed.

At this moment, Xu Fan discovered that one of the stalls' items actually contained a rare spiritual medicine. His heart was naturally moved, and he immediately transmitted his voice to Xia Weiwei, asking how he could purchase it.

However, just as Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei were communicating back and forth, that Qi Disciple level 10 middle-aged cultivator, the owner of the stall, was standing there nervously, his two eyes secretly observing Xu Fan from time to time.

Why do you say that?

It turned out that when Xu Fan had subconsciously used his divine sense to read the information on the jade slip, the middle-aged cultivator who was the owner of the jade slip had immediately felt Xu Fan's divine sense pressure.

One must know that only Foundation Establishment and above cultivators could condense and release their spiritual sense, but Qi Condensation cultivators could only use psychokinesis to check the information inside the jade chip.

Under normal circumstances, Qi Cultivation stage cultivators' souls were not strong enough, and the ideas in their Zifu Disciples' residences were simply not strong enough to be released.

When the middle-aged cultivator discovered that Xu Fan had used his spiritual sense to read the information in the jade slip, he mistakenly assumed that Xu Fan was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe.

In the cultivation world, the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Cultivation stage were two completely different realms. Even though the Qi Cultivation stage was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage, this step was still a thousand miles away.

More specifically, even if there were ten cultivators at the peak of the Qi Cultivation stage, they still wouldn't be able to contend against a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage. This was the difference!

Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

In the world of cultivation, there were no lack of special situations. For instance, some geniuses and freaks could even easily surpass their cultivation realms to challenge their opponents.

Just like the current Xu Fan, he was actually only at the 3rd level of the Refinement Stage, but his soul was incomparably powerful. Not only did his Mind Palace have thirteen soul fragments and thirteen thoughts, he had even ascended to the heavens in a single step, condensing a powerful divine intent.

However, this fellow wasn't a genius, at most he was a freak!

In the world of cultivation, strength was everything. Strength determined the status of a cultivator and also the strength of one's aura!

When the middle-aged cultivator saw Xu Fan stop in front of his stall, he immediately wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and respectfully asked, "Senior, I wonder if this junior has anything senior needs?"

Senior? Xia Weiwei was startled, but she was also confused. Why did this level 10 Qi Disciple guy want to call someone as a bumpkin senior?

Xu Fan, on the other hand, wasn't surprised. This fellow was used to putting on an act. He nodded slightly and said, "I saw your jade slip saying that you were going to sell Yellow Mantle Fruits, Violet Qi Ginseng, and Spirit Cultivating Grass. Is that true?"

He had set up a stall in the marketplace for more than half a month, but had not been able to find a suitable buyer, but was unwilling to put a price on the store. He was very anxious, and when he heard that Xu Fan wanted to buy it, he quickly nodded his head and replied, "Yes, senior. These are three spiritual medicines that junior found unintentionally not long ago.

Afraid that Xu Fan would be deceived, Xia Weiwei quickly used her psychokinesis to check the information in the jade slip, and then said, "Although these three spiritual medicines are relatively rare, they aren't very old. How are you planning to sell them?"

The middle-aged cultivator looked at Xu Fan and carefully said, "Yes, these three spiritual medicines are not very old. If senior needs them, I wonder if you can exchange them for some low-level spiritual medicines. Junior urgently needs some spiritual medicines."

Xu Fan pretended to frown and muttered to himself, "I don't have any low level pills on me. I only have some high-grade Qi Cultivating Powder that I can't use. Is that possible?"

Xia Weiwei was startled. She was becoming more and more curious about Xu Fan. She thought to herself, This country bumpkin really has a lot of good pills on him. Huh? Why didn't you tell me? Thinking of this, Xia Weiwei couldn't help but curse in her heart, 'Damn bumpkin, stinking bumpkin, even saying that you won't hide anything from me. You actually didn't tell me about the high-level Qi Training Powder.

When the middle-aged cultivator heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. Junior originally intended to buy some low-grade Qi Training Pills. Although this high-grade Qi Training Pills are one level lower than the Qi Training Pills, the effect is still better than the low-grade Qi Training Pills."

In fact, the middle-aged cultivator was absolutely right.

Although medicinal pills could assist cultivators in their cultivation and increase their cultivation speed, there was also a limit to the absorption of medicinal pills. Cultivators could not freely consume medicinal pills.

Every time a pill was swallowed, the cultivator would have to refine it and absorb it. Only after the pill was completely refined and absorbed would the cultivator be able to continue consuming it.

At the same time, the amount of pills consumed and the interval between each pill was related to the quality of the pills.

Pills, to put it bluntly, were a relatively pure type of elixir. However, this did not mean that the elixir was devoid of impurities.

These impurities accumulated over time. When a certain amount of these impurities reached, it would affect and endanger the cultivator's continued cultivation, and if it became serious, it would even cause the cultivator to go berserk.

At this time, cultivators needed to consume some precious heaven and earth treasures or Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads to clean up the muscles and marrow. Only after that would they be able to continue cultivating.

Of course, there were a few other methods that could also be used to clean up one's muscles and marrow. For example, cultivating a high-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique had a similar effect. As for Xu Fan's Brahma Monarch Stellar Body Tempering Scripture, it had even more of the same effect.

Thus, the better the grade of the pill, the less impurities would remain within the pill and at the same time, the amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth contained within the pill would also increase.

This was also the reason why the high-grade Qi Cultivating Powder was much more effective than low-grade Qi Cultivating Pills.

"..."

Xia Weiwei was very clear on the fact that a high-level Qi Cultivating Pill was even better than a low-grade Qi Cultivating Pill. She also knew that this middle-aged cultivator wasn't lying to Xu Fan. Only Xu Fan, this rookie, didn't seem to understand. Only now did this fellow vaguely understand why Xia Weiwei had repeatedly reminded him not to casually take out a Superior Grade Qi Training Pill to show to others.

"In that case, how many high-grade Qi Training Pills do you want in exchange for your three elixirs?"

A moment ago, Xia Weiwei had been cursing Xu Fan in her heart. However, when she saw that the young cultivator was very happy with Xu Fan's high-grade Qi Cultivating Powder, she was afraid that he wouldn't understand the situation and thus quickly asked before Xu Fan could open his mouth.

The middle-aged cultivator thought for a moment and tentatively replied, "Although these three spiritual medicines aren't very old, they are still relatively rare. I wonder if Senior can use eighty high-grade Qi Training Powder to exchange for them."

Without waiting for Xu Fan's reply, Xia Weiwei immediately responded, "Forty pills!"

The middle-aged cultivator froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's too little. I need at least seventy pills."

Xia Weiwei said, "Fifty pills!"

The middle-aged cultivator wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to say anything in the face of Xu Fan. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Sixty pills! It can't be any less!"

Xia Weiwei's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of cunning. She quickly came up with an idea for Xu Fan, "Deal!"

Xu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To be fair, the middle-aged cultivator didn't ask for too many of his three spiritual medicines in exchange for eighty high-grade Qi Cultivating Powder.

After all, the materials needed to refine Qi Cultivating Powder were the most common Spirit Accumulating Grass, Spirit Drawing Grass, and some ordinary herbs, while the Yellow Spirit Fruit, Purple Ginseng, and Spirit Nourishing Grass were all very rare spiritual medicines, especially the Spirit Nourishing Grass. However, high quality medicinal pills were extremely rare, and in addition to that, this middle-aged cultivator also needed to continue cultivating and break through to the tenth level, which was why he agreed to exchange with Xu Fan.

Although he had made high-grade Qi Cultivating Powder himself and had quite a few on him, it was naturally a good thing that he could save twenty pills with just a few words. Furthermore, he couldn't not accept Xia Weiwei's kind offer to help him bargain.

As a result, without a word, Xu Fan took out six bottles of Qi Cultivating Powder and made a deal with the middle-aged cultivator. Both sides were very happy.

Xu Fan happily put away the three spiritual medicines and followed Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei was also very happy that Xu Fan had collected these three rare spiritual medicines, but when she remembered that this guy had actually hidden the fact that she had high-grade Qi Training Powder, she immediately lowered her little face and turned around, angrily asking, "Hey bumpkin, why haven't you told me that you have high-grade Qi Training Powder?"

Xu Fan stared blankly. "Didn't you also not ask me?"

"Humph!"

Xia Weiwei pouted and snorted, showing an unhappy expression as she turned around and walked away.

Xu Fan knew this girl was doing this out of good intentions, so he naturally didn't take her questioning to heart. He hurriedly chased after her and asked in a low voice, "Weiwei, are these low level pills that you can't just take out to show people?"

Seeing Xu Fan's cautious look, the anger in Xia Weiwei's heart lessened a lot. She nodded and warmly said, "Yeah, luckily it's only the lowest level Qi Cultivating Powder, otherwise it would be very troublesome. "Bastard, do you know that no matter what kind of pill it is, as long as it's a high-grade or higher grade pill, it's extremely precious because this kind of pill has the least side effects and the effect of cultivation is the best. So, in the future, if you refine this kind of pill, you must use it cautiously and not be coveted by other cultivators."

Xu Fan nodded his head humbly. He really didn't know that high quality pills had these sort of benefits. In fact, his understanding towards pills was only limited to the refining methods he had learned from the Mysterious Sky Supreme Pill Scripture.

The two walked as they talked. When the two surrounded the plaza to the end, the sky had already darkened, and the rogue cultivators in the plaza began to pack up. At this time, Xu Fan suddenly felt as if he had returned to the days of the crazy night market on Earth.

"Selling all kinds of spirit grass and spirit herbs seeds, whoever wants to buy them will have to speed up!" After a cup of tea, they closed their stalls and left! "

At this time, Xu Fan suddenly heard a stall owner selling something at the end of the plaza.

He had received quite a few spiritual herbs and herbs in the plaza just now, but unfortunately, there were no spiritual herbs and seeds. Seeing that the plaza was almost over, he had originally been vexed over where he should go to buy some spiritual herbs and seeds, but who knew that after walking around for a long time, he would still be unable to find any, and just as he was preparing to leave, he accidentally ran into one.

Xu Fan quickly walked over and probed, "Fellow cultivator, may I ask what kind of seeds you have here?"

The stall owner was a female cultivator, around twenty years old, with a cultivation base around the 5th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage.

She saw that Xu Fan was still young, and although he didn't seem to have the slightest bit of Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator aura on the surface, there was actually a tenth level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator following him. At first glance, it was obvious that he was a male, so she immediately thought that he was a core disciple of some cultivator family or cultivation sect, so she quickly smiled and replied, "I have a total of eight spiritual herbs seeds here, Spirit Accumulating Grass, Spirit Drawing Grass, Silver Thread Grass, Mandala Flower … what does this young master need?"

Xu Fan was slightly disappointed when he heard this. These eight spiritual herbs were all relatively ordinary, and out of the eight spiritual herbs, he already had six of them in his Primal Chaos Seven Stars Tower. Only the Silver Thread Grass and the Black Mandara Flower didn't have them.

"Are there any other seeds?"

The female cultivator shook her head and said, "No, that's all I have."

Xu Fan thought for a moment. It was better than nothing. In the end, he spent twenty low-grade spirit stones to buy two packets of Silver Thread Grass and Mandala Flower Seeds.

Seeing the disappointment on Xu Fan's face, Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "Country bumpkin, I know you want to buy some spiritual herbs seeds, but don't be in such a hurry. Let's go back to the inn today, we still have half a month left to get the magic tools we commissioned at the Plethora Gem Tower, I'll take you to the medicine store tomorrow to take a look. There are more spiritual herbs seeds there, so I guarantee that you'll be able to buy a lot of unexpected herbs seeds."

"Mm, that's fine too."

Xu Fan nodded. He did have this kind of thought. Since he had come to the city square, he naturally had to learn more about the cultivation world and also gather spiritual herbs and seeds. In any case, he had the Chaotic Seven Stars Tower to grow.

"..."

On the second day, Xia Weiwei directly brought Xu Fan to a shop called the Hundred Pill Pavilion in the medicine area of the marketplace.

The Hundred Pill Pavilion was also the largest pill shop in the marketplace. At the same time, it was also the place where Xia Weiwei used to buy pills.

After arriving here, Xu Fan discovered how precious pills were in the cultivation world. Even an ordinary bottle of low-grade Qi Cultivating Powder would cost a hundred Spirit Stones, while a bottle of mid-grade Qi Cultivating Powder was actually worth as much as five hundred Spirit Stones.

As for Qi Training Pills, they were even more expensive. A bottle of low-grade Qi Training Pills cost 2000 low-grade spirit stones, while a bottle of mid-grade Qi Training Pills cost a lot more. They cost 5000 spirit stones, which was ten times more than the mid-grade Qi Training Powder.

Moreover, although this place was known as the largest shop in the Hundred Pill Pavilion and the marketplace, there were less than ten types of pill here.

Xu Fan also looked at the so-called middle-grade Qi Training Powder. The quality was a bit worse than the ones he had refined.

Although the Hundred Pill Pavilion's medicinal pills weren't that great, they sold a great variety of spiritual herbs and seeds. Xu Fan bought over twenty types of spiritual herbs and spiritual herbs here, but most of them were medicinal pills for cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage, as well as some healing medicinal seeds.

In addition, Xu Fan also bought a middle-grade pill furnace from the Hundred Pill Pavilion, which was much better than the low-grade pill furnace he had obtained from Gou Da Hong. As for the pill recipes from the Hundred Pill Pavilion, they weren't as numerous as Xu Fan's Mysterious Sky Supreme Pill Scripture.

As the two of them left the Hundred Pill Pavilion, Xia Weiwei said: "Bastard, now you should understand why I made you use high quality pills so cautiously. Even the biggest Hundred Pill Pavilion in the market rarely sees high quality pills, don't you think it would make them go crazy if people found out that you have high quality Qi Training Pills?"

Xu Fan nodded, but he was very curious. Didn't he just follow the refining method of the Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture to make high-grade medicinal pills? Why was it so hard to find high-grade medicinal pills in the Hundred Pill Pavilion?

Although this fellow didn't understand why the high-grade medicinal pills sold by the Hundred Pill Pavilion were so rare, he knew that the Mysterious Heaven Pill Scripture that he had obtained was definitely extraordinary. Thus, he didn't dare to show it to others.

"Weiwei, do you know where there's a fire in the city square?"

After leaving the Hundred Pill Pavilion, Xu Fan had an idea. Since these pills were so precious, wouldn't he be able to refine some of them and sell them? As for how much? He had yet to decide whether he would be able to sell the middle or upper graded pills, but he had to concoct the pills first.

Besides, he didn't have a lot of pills on him right now, so he needed to improve his alchemy skills and the success rate a little bit more. Thus, he asked.

"What is it? Are you planning on forging pills here? " Xia Weiwei asked curiously.

"Right."

Xu Fan nodded his head and said: "Didn't we collect quite a few spiritual herbs at the Spirit Peak Mountain two days ago?" I plan to use these few days to refine some more pills. Moreover, don't you need some to cultivate? Also, if we need more spirit stones in the future, we can sell some too. "

In reality, Xu Fan had only said half of the reason for preparing the pill, and the other half was for cultivation.

Right now, he could only cultivate the Brahma Monarch Star Body Tempering Scripture and the three to nine layers of the Divine Arts. His cultivation would only increase by a tiny amount if he practiced the Golden Mantra.

Through concocting pills, he discovered that not only could he condense his soul and divine sense, as well as his thirteen soul and divine souls, but he could also slowly increase the capacity of his dantian by constantly consuming and recovering his true essence and spirit energy.

This was one of the main reasons why he needed to continue concocting pills.

"Are you really planning on giving me a pill to cultivate with?"

Xia Weiwei didn't think that much and only opened her small mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe that Xu Fan had actually agreed to refine the pill she needed for cultivation.

One had to know that the pills needed for cultivation was not a small amount. Furthermore, as one's cultivation realm increased, the grade of the pills required would also become higher.

For example, before the middle stage of the Qi Cultivation Stage, using the Qi Cultivation Powder could increase one's cultivation speed and increase one's cultivation base.

However, when he reached the late Qi Cultivation Stage, Qi Cultivation Powder wouldn't have any effect. If he continued to cultivate, he would have to take the Qi Cultivation Pill.

Xu Fan smiled, "Didn't you say that?" In the future, I'll be the one to take care of all the pills you cultivate. "

Xia Weiwei's pretty face turned hot as her face turned bright red. She said timidly in a low voice, "I …" Wasn't that what I said? I'm joking with you, you... You don't have to take it seriously. "

It was unknown what Xia Weiwei was thinking in her heart, but the more she spoke, the softer her voice became. In the end, perhaps only she could hear.

Seeing Xia Weiwei's shy and charming appearance, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh. "How can I do that?" As a man, his words are as good as gold. Since I agreed to it, of course I have to do it. "

Xu Fan's smile made Xia Weiwei even more embarrassed. Ignoring her blushing, she immediately scolded angrily, "Don't laugh! Humph! I still have to consider it. "

Xu Fan happily said, "Sure, but I don't have many pills on me right now. You need to help me find a place where I can refine Earth Fire first."

Xia Weiwei pondered for a moment and said, "There's no mention of Earth Fire in the marketplace. All of the pills from the Hundred Pill Pavilion were refined and sent there for sale. I don't know much about pill refining, but I heard that there's a talisman for sealing Earth Fire that can be used to refine pills."

Xu Fan was overjoyed. If he had this kind of talisman, he would be able to refine pills at any time and anywhere. He hurriedly said, "This is great! Where would I be able to buy this kind of talisman?"

Seeing how worried Xu Fan was, Xia Weiwei couldn't help but retort, "Of course we're going to the talisman manufacturing area's shops in the city square."

After that, Xu Fan urgently urged Xia Weiwei to take him there.

In the time it takes to have a cup of tea, under Xia Weiwei's lead, the two of them arrived at the talisman crafting area of the marketplace. They then walked into a shop called the "Spirit Talisman Shop".

Here, all sorts of talismans once again opened Xu Fan's eyes. Fireball talismans, Divine Traversal Talismans, Hidden Rings, Light-weight talismans, Earth Escape talismans, Golden Light talismans … There were dozens of them.

Xu Fan had never touched these things before. Although he had obtained a few talismans from Xu Jincheng, he had never used them before. All of a sudden, Xu Fan felt his heart beat faster.

Similar to Xu Fan, Xia Weiwei was also very excited.

In reality, this was also her first time coming to the Spiritual Talisman Temple. Although she was one of the family's people that was focused on nurturing her, she had never obtained a talisman before. After all, talismans were not cheap, and they were all consumable.

However, things were different now. When the two of them were selling demon beast materials at the Plethora Gem Tower, they had earned over a hundred thousand spirit stones. Naturally, they didn't care about the price of spirit talismans.

The shop assistant saw that Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei were very excited, so he immediately explained to them in great patience and detail about the functions and methods of using each talisman, as well as the power and corresponding prices of each talisman.

As the sales clerk introduced them, Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Damn, there are really quite a few good things here. With these talismans, in the future, no matter if it's hunting demon beasts, fighting against enemies, or escaping, there will be a lot more methods available."

Xu Fan muttered to himself, then told Xia Weiwei, "Weiwei, the talismans here are very good. Not only are there a lot of talismans that can fight the enemy, they can also save your life. Why not buy more to protect yourself?"

Xia Weiwei replied, "Yes, I've heard that talismans are very easy to use in the past, but because the price of talismans is a bit expensive, and it's a one-time consumable, I don't have this kind of thing on me. Bastard, your cultivation is so low, and you also have high quality pills, so you should buy some to protect yourself."

"Alright, let's make a big purchase today."

Xu Fan immediately replied and decided to make a big purchase.

This fellow had gotten used to it in his previous life and valued life the most. In his opinion, when a thousand gold coins were gone, one could return, but when one's life was gone, all that was said was empty talk. If he wanted to be reborn, he wouldn't be so lucky even if he didn't want to.

Immediately, the two of them bought the talismans as they wished. Xu Fan immediately had the shop assistant take out the best level two talismans in the shop for them to choose from. He was so happy that the shop assistant almost treated the two of them as if they were his ancestors.

In the end, this little fellow bought seven or eight types of level two talismans, a total of four hundred of them. He spent a total of eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones as well as four hundred earthen fire seals, for a total of forty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

These talismans were worth a total of one hundred and twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. With such a large sum, the two of them had used up more than half of the spirit stones they sold yesterday.

The two of them walked out of the spiritual talisman shack. Xu Fan sighed, "It's a pity that the greatest might of this kind of talisman of the second level is equivalent to a full-powered attack from a Qi Disciple level 12 cultivator. If we had the full power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, we would be able to kill a level four demon beast."

After hearing Xu Fan's words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and say, "Bastard, you're too greedy. You know that these talismans are the best in the world, and even if you have those talismans with the power of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, not to mention the price, you still wouldn't be able to deal with a Rank 4 demonic beast. Do you think that a Rank 4 demonic beast would just stand there and wait for you to use these talismans to attack it?"

"Eh, that's true!"

Xu Fan shook his head. Although these talismans were easy to use, they were just external items. In the end, he had to rely on his own strength. It was a pity that he still hadn't found a way to break through.

"..."
