“The last auction did not auction off Spirit Pills.
“But I remember there was a time when the Spirit Medicine Hall auctioned off five bottles of second- order Spirit Pills. Perhaps next year, they might auction off a few bottles as well.”
Luo Chen asked curiously: “Can I use the second-order Spirit Pill?”
“It’s not recommended, so you’d better hope that they can offer the first-order
Spirit Pills suitable for the Qi Refinement Stage!”
After seeing Luo Chen’s expression of anticipation, Mi Shuhua released a sigh of relief, his mood not as gloomy as before.
He couldn’t bear to see this precious child unhappy!
“By the way, about Dan Xiu, the one who ambushed you, I’ve gotten some
information.”
“I’ll give you an explanation when the time comes.
Before leaving, Mi Shuhua brought Luo Chen some good news.
For an enemy who had attempted to kill him, Luo Chen did feel a prickling sensation in his back if that enemy continued to remain out of sight.
But unless a rogue cultivator really ran into the mountains, they would always show up in public eventually.
Especially low-level cultivators!
They can’t venture into the deep mountains and wilderness where high-level
demon beasts roam.
As for going to the mundane world to settle, that was even more impossible.
In fact, Luo Chen once wondered why many aged and weak cultivators chose to struggle in the market instead of enjoying their days in the mundane world.
Later, Wang Yuan personally explained it to him.
Cultivators can’t stay in the mundane world for too long.
This was an iron law and an unwritten rule.
As for the actual reason, Wang Yuan didn’t give a clear explanation, he just said that cultivators couldn’t stay in the mundane world for long.
Therefore, it was expected that Dan Xiu would show up after more than a month.
He even hid for a longer time than Luo Chen had expected.
If Mi Shuhua could bring Dan Xiu’s head to him, that would be best.
Even if he didn’t bring it now, knowing that Dan Xiu was operating in Xuelian
District, Luo Chen felt relatively at ease.
After Mi Shuhua left, the day’s work also came to an end.
What was left were some trivial matters like supplementing medicinal ingredients and cleaning the pill furnace.
For these matters, Luo Chen didn’t need to worry, as Gu Caiyi would arrange everything for him.
After saying hello, under the guard of the bodyguards, Luo Chen returned to the Inner City.
It was still early, so he decided to drop by the White Stone Plaza. Yuan Xiaoyue greeted him and made an appointment to settle last month’s accounts in the courtyard later.
As for the milk tea shop, Luo Chen was quite surprised.
“Duan Feng, what are you doing here?”
Cough cough.
Duan Feng coughed once. Having recovered for over a month, his injuries had mostly healed.
However, due to the damage to his internal organs and the long-lasting cold, he was left with some after-effects in his lungs.
From time to time, he would cough once or twice.
“Feeling much better, so I came out for a walk and help Sister Xia with some
chores.”
“That’s good, but I don’t have any spirit stones to pay your salary.
Duan Feng twitched his mouth but didn’t mind such matters.
Feng Xia walked out from the side door and said, “There’s a bit of work left, you’ll have to wait a while.”
“No problem, take your time. I’ll take a walk.”
Luo Chen, not wanting to waste time, went across to the other side of the White Stone Plaza.
Near that jade screen, several buildings were already erected. Registration points, gambling houses, taverns – all serving the Luofeng Mountain Dao Debate Platform had started to take shape.
He looked up at the jade screen where, apart from the list of the competing fields for tomorrow, there was a ranking list separately displayed.
The first on the list was the Foundation Establishment ranking.
However, the list was rather empty.
The only one Luo Chen knew, was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Nangong Jin.
The reason he knew him was because when choosing sources of milk, he found out that the Nangong family raised a herd of Fu Zhu Deer, hence he researched a bit about this family.
“Ranked third, does that mean he lost to someone?”
Shaking his head, Luo Chen enthusiastically looked at the Qi Refinement ranking.
The one at the top, coincidentally, also had the surname Nangong. Nangong Qin, Ninth Level Qi Refinement!
Activating the Spirit Vision Technique, a list of his achievements displayed next to his name.
He defeated someone, lost to someone else, and Duan Feng’s name also appeared in his record.
He and Nangong Qin fought twice, winning once and losing once.
Other than Nangong Qin, the ones below were Li Ao, Yan Mingyao………….
It wasn’t until the ninth place that Duan Feng’s name appeared.
“He barely kept his top three position last month, but after resting due to injuries for just one month, his ranking fell to ninth.
■■Tsk tsk, the competitive atmosphere of this debate platform is quite heated!”
“I wonder what rank I could obtain if I competed.
During this time, Luo Chen had become very familiar with his magic tools. For offense, he had the Ascendant Grade Magic Tool Fire Tip Spear, Soul Breaking Nail, Jade Sword.
For defense, he had the Four Symbols Tripod, Ascendant Grade Robes. The Snow-Stepping Board was slightly useful as a flying magic tool. However, for his movement, he relied more on the Ascendant Grade Magic Tool Cloud-Stepping Boots and his techniques, Carefree Wandering and Wind Riding Technique.
Besides these, he also had the Bereaved Spirit Bell and thousands of Waste Jade Marrow Beads.
And these were just external tools.
His most powerful asset was his techniques.
“But my combat experience with cultivators is really too limited. In the environment-restricted debate platform, I’m afraid many of my tricks will be rendered useless after one or two uses.”
“Perhaps in the future, I could consider challenging some less powerful cultivators on the ranking list to hone my combat experience.”
For a moment, he was filled with anticipation.
As for late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators entering the competition, they needed to bet a magic tool..
