My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 134 The Art of Concentric Eyes
"Azure Jade Pills? Of course we have those. How many would you like, Immortal Master?"

Upon hearing Shen Changchuan's words,

The man's smile seemed to grow even brighter.

"Ten or more."

"This way, please, Immortal Master, please go up to the second floor."

The waiter enthusiastically led the way, heading towards the spacious staircase at the back.

And their conversation

It was all heard by the people around them.

Several pairs of eyes converged on Shen Changchuan.

However, Shen Changchuan remained calm and followed the waiter upstairs.

The second floor is very spacious.

The floor was covered with smooth, unidentified white jade tiles. Counters surrounded the area, displaying various exhibits in glass cases made of crystal. Fluorescent stones emitting a white glow hung from the ceiling.
This gave Shen Changchuan a moment of disorientation, as if he had returned to the high-end shopping mall he had experienced in his previous life.

After going up to the second floor,

The waiter gave some instructions and then left, and the building manager took over to greet him.

He then took out a semi-transparent jade bottle from a hidden compartment beneath the glass cabinet, placed it in front of Shen Changchuan, and said:

"These are the Jade Pills you requested, five pills per bottle. How many would you like?"

"Could we verify a thing or two?"

"Apart from tasting, please feel free to do whatever you like."

Shen Changchuan then opened the lid of the jade bottle.

A rich, fragrant aroma of medicinal pills wafted through the air, making Shen Changchuan feel his own magical power stirring restlessly.

He then looked through the bottle opening and saw five perfectly round, jade-like pills inside, each emitting a faint glow.

He was already 90% certain about the efficacy of this elixir.

It was exactly what I needed.

Too,

A business association as large as Wanling Pavilion wouldn't stoop to such dishonesty.

"How much does it cost?"

"Six hundred spirit stones each."

"Six hundred? Isn't it five hundred spirit stones per stone?"

"Uh, sir, that might be an internal price from a business partner of our Wanling Pavilion. Our Wanling Pavilion is honest and fair, and all the spirit stones we sell to the outside world are priced at a uniform 600 spirit stones each."

Hearing this,

Shen Changchuan frowned slightly.

"I bought this from you through a friend's recommendation. Could you offer me a discount?"

As they spoke, Shen Changchuan took out the token that Si Houqing had given him.

"This is a token of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce? Hmm, this is acceptable, but since you are not our partner, we can only offer you a discount of fifty spirit stones at most."

"Can't you make it a little cheaper? For example, what if I buy a lot of pills?"

"I'm sorry, this really won't work."

“Refining pills is not so easy, and our Wanling Pavilion cannot rely on the strategy of small profits and quick turnover.”

"However, if you spend more than 10,000 spirit stones, I can arrange to give you some gifts as a bonus."

The manager smiled and patiently explained.

"what gift?"

"Cultivation techniques, spells, and cultivation experience, of course, are limited to those below the late stage of Qi Refining. You may choose five items."

It took a lot of talking,
They still couldn't get the price down.

Shen Changchuan sighed helplessly.

"Alright then, I'll take twenty Jade Pills."

"Okay, please wait a moment." A short while later,
Four bottles of pills then appeared in front of Shen Changchuan.

Shen Changchuan inspected them one by one.
After confirming that everything was correct, he collected 11,000 spirit stones and then pocketed all the pills.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?"

"No need. As for a bonus gift, I'll choose magic-related ones."

Shen Changchuan shook his head.

Eleven thousand spirit stones, that's a real drain on my wallet!
My wallet was completely empty in an instant.

Where can I find spirit stones to buy anything else?
The cost was far too high!

to be frank,
For over 98% of the cultivators in this world who are at the seventh level of Qi Refining, spending tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy pills in exchange for a rapid increase in cultivation is simply not worthwhile!
It is likely that only the eldest sons of powerful and wealthy families receive such treatment.

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even ordinary powerful clan cultivators couldn't afford to build something like this.

But there is no way,
Given the current turbulent situation in the borderlands,

We must improve our skills as soon as possible.

Thus,
The only way to accelerate cultivation is to spend real money.

Just as Shen Changchuan was sighing inwardly,
The steward took out a complete book of spells and handed it to Shen Changchuan.

"You may choose any five of these spells."

Shen Changchuan took the complete book of spells.

Open the pages one by one and browse through them.

After spending more than half an hour, they finally selected five spells.

Of these five spells, four are related to wood and sword magic.

obviously,
Shen Changchuan was planning to use them all as cushions for cultivating the Azure Wood Sword Light.

After mastering them, accumulate experience to build up the progress bar of the Azure Wood Sword Light.

And the last door,
It is a secret technique called the "Sympathic Eye Technique".

This secret technique is somewhat special.
It allows the caster to share a vision with someone who shares their thoughts, even from a great distance.

This,

It was precisely the result that Shen Changchuan had specifically chosen.

think about it,
If the Heart-to-Heart Eye Technique were used on Xiao Feng...

See everything around you from the sky through the perspective of a gentle breeze.

This is of immeasurable value in terms of investigation!

After obtaining everything, Shen Changchuan did not linger and left Wanling Pavilion directly.

but,

Not long after he left,
A secret message was passed out without almost everyone knowing.

A luxury mansion in the city,
Upon learning this news, a certain shadowy figure revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

Soon,
Among the local guides who were originally waiting around the city gate for the arrival of cultivators from other places in order to earn some spirit stones,
A gaunt man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face quietly left the city unnoticed and quickly disappeared.

But if Shen Changchuan were here...

You will surely find that
The man who left with the pointed face and monkey-like cheeks was the same one who had approached him when he entered the city gate, offering to be his guide and saying he could take him to various secret places, including the black market!
What happened behind me,

Shen Changchuan had no idea.

At this time, he

They are encountering another problem.

After leaving the Wanling Pavilion, he originally planned to ride Xiaofeng back directly.

However, the seed left in Xiao Feng's sea of ​​consciousness through the secret technique of beast taming

After exchanging words with the other party, Shen Changchuan learned that Xiao Feng had spent most of the day traveling and had exhausted a lot of demonic energy. He would need at least a day to recover.

resignedly,

Shen Changchuan could only find a place to stay in the city and rest for the night before making any further plans.
