Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Jiang Yu's room also contained a second-grade cultivation Qi-gathering array.

Jiang Yu sat cross-legged in the room, and with the support of the Qi Gathering Array, her cultivation level was rapidly increasing.

It's much faster than my usual cultivation.

While Jiang Yu was practicing her skills in her room, Jiang Shi went alone to the largest merchant guild in Canglin City—Canglin Pavilion.

As soon as Jiang Shi entered, the manager of the Canglin Pavilion on the first floor immediately came to greet him.

With the discerning eye of the Canglin Pavilion manager, he immediately recognized that Jiang Shi was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

In the Canglin region, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is a very important figure.

These shop owners were only at the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Senior, is there anything you need? I am the shopkeeper, and I will be happy to serve you." The shopkeeper on the first floor of Canglin Pavilion treated Jiang Shi with great respect.

He then instructed his subordinates to have the manager of the second floor of Canglin Pavilion come down to welcome the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

The supervisor holds a position in Canglin Pavilion that is second only to Pavilion Master Lu.

"I need some second-grade fire and earth elemental spirit items," Jiang Shi said, and then asked in return:

Do you have any here?

"Of course."

Before the manager of the Canglin Pavilion on the first floor could speak, a male voice came from the stairwell.

Jiang Shi looked up at the sound and saw a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator walking over quickly.

"Young Master." The shopkeeper on the first floor greeted the newcomer respectfully.

The young master he mentioned nodded, then said to Jiang Shi:

"I am Lu Chuanyue of Qingyun Sect. I greet this senior." Lu Chuanyue bowed to Jiang Shi with neither humility nor arrogance.

This Lu Chuanyue is a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the biological son of the Canglin Pavilion Master, and the next generation of Pavilion Master being groomed by the Pavilion Master.

This time, since the Pavilion Master of Canglin Pavilion was unable to personally receive them, Lu Chuanyue came in his father's place, which also showed that he valued the other party.

Recently, several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Qingyun Sect have died outside. Lu Chuanyue's father, Pavilion Master Lu, had already given him orders to be extra careful and not to offend any unfamiliar Foundation Establishment stage cultivators he encountered.

"Young friend Lu, there's no need for such formalities." Jiang Shi realized upon seeing Lu Chuanyue that Canglin Pavilion was actually owned by the Lu family of Qingyun Sect.

This Canglin region was jointly built and managed by the three major sects.

Many of these shops belong to the three major sects.

Just like those talisman shops, some of them are businesses owned by Biluo Valley.

Some of those magical artifact shops are owned by the Lingxu Sect.

And this Canglin Pavilion is a property of the Qingyun Sect.

"I've come here today for second-grade spiritual materials of the fire and earth elements," Jiang Shi said, speaking frankly and without any attempt to conceal his true intentions.

Simply purchasing second-grade fire and earth elemental spirit items will not attract the attention of others.

After all, having two spiritual roots is not particularly remarkable among Foundation Establishment stage cultivators; most have three or two spiritual roots, and a very small number have only one.

"Then you've come to the right place. Please go upstairs first, and I'll go to the secret vault to retrieve the spiritual item for you," Lu Chuanyue said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi, led by the manager on the first floor, went to the third floor of Canglin Pavilion.

This third floor consists of private rooms specifically for receiving distinguished guests.

After Jiang Shi sat down, three young and beautiful women soon arrived.

They were all mid-level Qi Refining cultivators. The reason they came here was that they were specifically assigned to serve tea and water to Jiang Shi.

One of the three young and beautiful women offered to pour tea for Jiang Shi. The tea was a top-grade spiritual tea, full of fragrance.

One person was responsible for massaging Jiang Shi's shoulders and back.

The last person was responsible for chatting with Jiang Shi and introducing their Canglin Pavilion.

Jiang Shi was also bored, so while waiting for the spirit creature, he casually chatted with them for a few minutes.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

Just then, Lu Chuanyue came out carrying a tray with two jade boxes on it.

Regardless of what's inside, just looking at this jade box tells you that the contents must be extremely valuable.

"Senior, I have successfully completed my mission. I have found these two fire and earth elemental spirit items," Lu Chuanyue said with great joy.

"Very good, quickly take it out so I can see it," Jiang Shi said.

These five spiritual objects are fundamental to one's cultivation of the Five Internal Organs Body Tempering Technique.

Jiang Shi has now mastered three techniques: the "Gui Water Transformation Qi Technique," the "Yi Wood Mysterious Azure Finger Technique," and the "Gold Devouring Great Method."

Apart from these three, if Jiang Shi could create two more techniques—the metal and earth elements—he would be able to fully master the Five Elements and Five Organs Body Tempering Secret Techniques.

By then, Jiang Shi will be able to directly enter the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"This first item is called Huangya Stone." As he spoke, Lu Chuanyue opened the first jade box.

The moment the jade box was opened, a yellowish-brown mineral imbued with the vitality of the earth appeared before Jiang Shi's eyes.

"This Yellow Sprout Stone is a second-grade spiritual item, and its main use is to promote the growth of spiritual items."

"Not bad, not bad," Jiang Shi nodded and smiled.

He was fairly satisfied with the second-grade spiritual item, the Yellow Sprout Stone.

Although the main function of this second-grade spiritual item, the Yellow Sprout Stone, is to promote the growth of spiritual items.

However, it contains some earth vein energy and a vibrant life force.

This earth's energy might be useful to Jiang Shi for cultivation, allowing him to create his own metal-based body-refining technique.

"I'll take this piece of yellow bud stone." Jiang Shi waved his hand and decided to buy it without even asking the price.

"Thank you for your trust, senior. Next, I will show you the second item in my collection," Lu Chuanqi said respectfully.

The second jade box was quickly opened under Lu Chuanqi's operation.

A rich surge of fire-elemental spiritual energy erupted forth.

It sprayed in all directions!

In that instant, Jiang Shi flicked his sleeve and collected all the surging fire-type spiritual power.

Jiang Shi, who possesses the true meaning of "Wood Generates Fire," can easily control these flames.

After finishing, Jiang Shi reached out, and a crystal-clear red gemstone with flame-like patterns flew over and landed in his hand.

Upon first touch, I felt a slight burning sensation.

"Senior, this item is called Crimson Essence Stone, which is formed from the essence of flames," Lu Chuan explained to Jiang Shi.

"Very good, very good! I'll take this one too." Jiang Shi put the Crimson Essence Stone directly into his storage bag, along with the Earth-type Yellow Sprout Stone.

Jiang Shi bought the two Five Elements Spiritual Objects directly.

After paying the spirit stones, Jiang Shi was unwilling to linger and took his leave.

Buying only two won't have any impact.

However, if you buy too much, it will definitely attract the attention of others.

Since you've just arrived in Canglin City, it's best to be careful.

Jiang Shi was unaware that he had been targeted the moment he stepped into Canglin City.

After all, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, especially a stranger, would inevitably attract attention.

The guards of Canglin City had already informed the city lord's mansion.
