Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 130 Resource Procurement
In the private room.

Ling Changqing observed it for a while before putting the jade slip back into the box and carefully putting it into the storage bag.

"...So, Fellow Daoist Ling is also a second-level alchemist? With this ancient alchemy manual, I think your attainments in alchemy can be further improved."

Xue Yumei next to her said with a smile.

Ling Changqing was oblivious to the intentional or unintentional probing in her words, and just said with some regret:
"…Although this thing is good, it's a pity that there is no other part. Don't you have any clues at all?"

Xue Yumei shook her head slightly: "You might as well tell your friends that the origin of this thing is a little unclear, and it has been stored in our company's warehouse for more than ten years, so..."

"I see."

Ling Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought that after the high-level cultivators of the company obtained the alchemy scripture, they had tried to track down the rest of it, but naturally found nothing.

After all efforts failed, the top management of the business bank who had completely given up hope decided to sell this thing at auction, at least in exchange for some spiritual stone resources.

Although this thing is the original, there must be a corresponding replica kept in the storeroom of the business. In the future, the alchemists within the Chamber of Commerce will be able to check it at any time, so it will not be lost.

Xue Yumei didn't know that Ling Changqing actually had the first volume of the alchemy book in his hands, so in his hands, the value of this thing could definitely be greater than the sum of its parts.

"I should be able to advance to the rank 2 middle-grade alchemist soon. And Ling Qiyue... with her accumulation, it should not be a problem for her to break through to the rank 3 lower-grade alchemist."

Ling Changqing pondered silently that the significance of this alchemy book to him was indeed much more important than just a few hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, he felt that with his extraordinary luck and fortune, he should have hope of getting the second volume of this alchemy book in the future, right?

The trade fair continued, and precious items appeared one after another, such as top-grade and best spiritual weapons, second-grade top-grade Taoist soldier puppets, and later various third-grade lower-grade materials, and spiritual medicines and herbs occasionally appeared.

"Are there any mid-grade magic weapons or Dan-forming resources for sale here? Or are there any Xuan-level upper-grade martial arts manuals?"

Ling Changqing couldn't help but ask.

Xue Yumei was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Of course these are available, but they don't appear every time, and the price is not cheap!

Fellow Daoist, you probably don’t need these now, but of course you can come here when you need them in the future, and I will never let you down.”

She was not sure whether Ling Changqing was hiding his true ability or whether the people behind him needed it, so she answered cautiously.

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Ling Changqing took out his communication jade talisman and exchanged contact information with the female deacon.

After a pause, Ling Changqing continued:

"I'm planning to purchase some spiritual medicine and herbs here. I wonder if you can provide them in stock?"

Since this deaconess seems to be well-behaved and has no ill will towards me, I might as well resolve the matter here.

Xue Yumei nodded slightly: "Of course, that's no problem. Daoist friend, you can make a list of what you want to buy!"

She turned her head and ordered the maid beside her to fetch a jade slip shining with golden light and handed it to Ling Changqing personally.

Ling Changqing unfolded the jade slip and injected a little magic power into it. Suddenly, a catalog of a wide variety of medicinal herbs appeared on it.

There is no shortage of spiritual medicines and herbs from the first to the third level, including key information such as the specific growing year, price, general effects and uses, etc., which are all described in detail in the jade slips.

In this jade slip list, various materials for refining Foundation Building Pills can also be found, and there is more than one Foundation Building Pill recipe.

However, the price of this scarce resource is not cheap, and the purchase quantity is also limited to two or three at a time, which will not allow you to buy it recklessly.

Similar rules also exist at the Nebula Falcon Chamber of Commerce. Even if Xue Qingtan is willing to get close to Ling Changqing, he cannot give him too much convenience.

Ling Changqing weighed the pros and cons and found that all the types of resources he needed could be found in this jade slip, so he made up his mind.

"Fellow Daoist, can't you buy more? Tianhuaxuan is a big family with a lot of wealth. My purchase amount shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Ling Changqing asked.

Xue Yumei groaned in silence, as if communicating with others through spiritual thoughts. After a moment, she responded:

“That being said, this is the organization’s rule, and I can’t just go against it.

How about this, if you are willing to increase the price by 20%, I can let you buy twice the amount of resources than the limit, so we can make friends!
If there are similar opportunities for cooperation in the future, I hope you will not forget me!"

Ling Changqing nodded: "That's no problem, I'll remember your favor!"

Spiritual medicine resources are the fundamental guarantee for the rapid improvement of family strength, so of course the more the better.

In the vast world of immortal cultivation, elixirs are one of the most important and most in-demand resources for cultivators, just like the significance of food to the mortal world.

The spiritual herbs and herbs above the first level have a long growth cycle and are not easy to cultivate and maintain. In addition, the big forces like to monopolize and restrict circulation, so you can't just buy them with spiritual stones. The medicinal gardens and mountains on Changqing Island were newly opened not long ago, so it would take at least a hundred or eighty years for the spiritual herbs and herbs in them to grow to the point where they can be picked and used to make pills.

That's why Ling Changqing wanted to buy as many as possible, even if the price was a bit expensive and even if he couldn't use them for the time being, it would be good to have them as strategic reserves.

"Please wait for a moment, fellow Daoist. Within a quarter of an hour at most, our people will gather all the medicinal resources and send them over."

Xue Yumei said with a smile.

Perhaps this handsome young man in purple with a wealthy fortune and generosity is not a casual cultivator at all, but comes from some mysterious Taoist force?

Of course, this is nothing. It is common for Tianhuaxuan to do this kind of business. As long as there is enough profit, the identity of the customer is not important at all.

Ling Changqing was thinking that the price of finished elixirs was much higher than that of raw herbal medicines. In the future, he could make various second-level elixirs in batches and sell them here.

The spiritual stones obtained can be used to purchase various medicinal herb raw materials, and then continue to make pills. By repeating this process over and over again, you will surely make a fortune.

In fact, Tianhuaxuan already has quite a few such guest officials. Although they are not formal members of the organization, they can also obtain a lot of conveniences as long as they can complete the tasks assigned by the organization on time and in quantity.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be considered after Ling Changqing's attainments in alchemy are further improved.

A moment later, a deacon in the middle stage of foundation building walked into the private room and handed a palm-sized cyan storage bag to Xue Yumei.

Xue Yumei took the storage bag and examined it with her spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no problem, she handed it to Ling Changqing.

Ling Changqing took it and calmly asked the Jiyuan Star Palace to detect it. When he found nothing unusual, he checked it himself with his divine sense.

"Yes, there is no problem with the quantity and quality of resources."

Ling Changqing said with satisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist, this transaction is worth 1,700 medium-grade spirit stones in total, no discount."

Xue Yumei explained gently.

"no problem."

Ling Changqing nodded and took out enough spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the other party.

After confirming the quantity was correct, Xue Yumei breathed a sigh of relief. This order of business was not a small amount for her, and she would be lying if she said she was not nervous.

The trade fair was now drawing to a close, with the last resources available being various third-level materials, talismans, elixirs, and first-grade magic weapons.

Half an hour later, as the trade fair came to an end, many monks stood up and left.

Ling Changqing said goodbye at the right time, and Xue Yumei sent him to the door and watched his figure disappear around the corner of the street.

It was already night time. The quiet, mysterious, cold moonlight and starlight were shining from the vast sky, setting off the bright lights in the market town.

Ling Changqing walked around a few times casually, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no suspicious people following him.

No matter how chaotic and dangerous the outside world is, at least within this market, basic rules and order are guaranteed.

A stable and secure trading venue is in the common interests of the top leaders of all parties, so they will not allow some guys with ulterior motives to mess around in the market.

After walking around for a while, Ling Changqing chose the largest inn in the center of the city and asked for a separate courtyard to stay in.

He announced to the maid who received him that he wanted to meditate in seclusion and should not be disturbed for three months.

In the training room, as the formation restrictions were opened layer by layer, Ling Changqing sat down safely on the cloud bed and began to communicate with the Epoch Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness:
[Dan Dao: 14793/30000 (Second-level lower grade)]

[Main cultivation technique: Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra (fifth level) 2311\20000]

[Main cultivation technique: Taiyin Yuehua Refining Spirit Heart Sutra (first layer) 4860/30000]

[Physical Training Technique: Vajra Devil Subduing Technique (Second Level) 3997/12000]

[Spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, lower earth grade 4975/30000]

After obtaining the middle volume of Cang Yuan Dan Hua Jue, Ling Changqing's alchemy level has improved a lot.

I think as long as he continues to make great progress, he will be able to become a second-level intermediate alchemist in no time.

The Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra has completed the fourth level and officially entered the fifth level.

However, Ling Changqing is no longer satisfied with this technique. Perhaps when he has the chance, he must change to a better main technique.

There is also the Vajra Demon Subduing Art and the Taiyin Yuehua Spirit Refining Heart Sutra, which increase the spiritual root qualifications to varying degrees.
