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

Guo Feng dared not fight back because he knew that in this situation, if he did not resist, he would still have a chance to save his life.

If he dares to make the slightest move, he will probably die today.

"Your Biluo Valley must give me an explanation for this matter."

"Summon your valley master to see me!"

After Shangguan Shuo finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Guo Feng standing there.

Guo Feng was freed, but he dared not run away. He quickly took out the Xiaoze Golden Sword and sent a message to Biluo Valley.

The next day, Guo Feng stood guard at the entrance of the city lord's mansion.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, a rain of flowers suddenly fell from the sky, petals scattering everywhere.

"Look what's that in the sky!" Some passing cultivators exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the sight in the sky.

"Shut up! It's Biluo Valley Master Hua Luoyu! Kneel down now and don't look around!" A late-stage Qi Refining cultivator quickly pulled his companion down to kneel with him, their heads pressed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

They knelt on the ground and slowly backed away, a rather comical sight.

Some clever cultivators, seeing this scene, knew there must be a serious problem, and quickly knelt down as well, moving backward together.

Some young people who had just made their breakthrough and were inexperienced didn't understand why everyone was acting this way, and even laughed at them.

Just then, a red sedan chair suddenly appeared in the sky, and four mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators carried it down from the sky and landed at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Guo Feng, a sinner, pays his respects to the Valley Master!" Guo Feng knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the person in the sedan chair.

"How dare you, Guo Feng! You've caused such a disaster! The Valley Master has ordered you to go to the Insect-Eating Pool to be punished!"

Before the person inside the sedan chair could speak, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator carrying the sedan chair in front shouted a reprimand.

Guo Feng's face turned extremely pale when he heard the words "Insect-Eating Pool." He trembled as he tried to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Finally, Guo Feng could only kneel down and say, "This disciple obeys the order and will go to receive the punishment."

The Insect-Eating Pool was teeming with countless strange insects. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn't die if he entered the pool, but the suffering he endured was far worse than death.

After Guo Feng left, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in front used his magic power to transmit his voice, saying, "City Lord Shangguan, the Lord of Biluo Valley has personally come here. Why don't you hurry up and greet him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind arose, and a silver spear flew towards him.

The silver spear carried a chilling aura; even before the spear arrived, the wind and killing intent had already set in motion.

The mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was unable to move due to the pressure of the strong wind.

Even so, his expression remained unchanged; he trusted the person behind him completely.

At the critical moment, a slender hand emerged from the sedan chair, blooming like a flower and creating a series of afterimages.

The silver spear pierced it, just as it pierced into foam, without causing a ripple.

"Brother Shangguan, it's been many years, and you're still as impatient as ever." The person in the sedan chair spoke, his hands were like jade, and his voice was melodious and gentle, like the sound of silk and bamboo instruments.

Although no one saw the person inside the sedan chair, their imaginations were already running wild.

Those cultivators who were not kneeling on the ground but were still standing and watching were now like idiots, drooling and staring intently at the sedan chair.

"Save your breath, I'm not falling for your tricks." Shangguan Shuo walked over seriously, his hands behind his back.

The silver spear flew through the air and landed in his hand.

Shangguan Shuo pointed his gun diagonally at the person in the sedan chair and said in a deep voice:

"Hua Luoyu, today you must give our Lingxu Sect an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a token flew out of the sedan chair and landed on Shangguan Shuo.

Shangguan Shuo caught the token, took a closer look, and his expression instantly changed.

Even when Sui Lao died, Shangguan Shuo didn't have such a strong reaction.

"This is...?" Shangguan Shuo asked uncertainly.

"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking of." Hua Luoyu's voice came from inside the sedan chair.

"Ascension Token! Your Biluo Valley actually possesses such a thing!" Shangguan Shuo examined the token in his hand repeatedly, saying in disbelief.

"In that case, we're even."

"A clean break? Brother Shangguan is joking. How can a mere old man like Sui compare to this?" Hua Luoyu said with a soft laugh, her voice quite captivating.

"What do you mean?" Shangguan Shuo knew that since Biluo Valley was willing to take out this item, it must have some ulterior motive.

"There's no rush. We haven't seen each other for years, why don't we find a quiet place and have a good chat?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Shuo's face darkened, as if he were recalling past events.

But after looking at the Ascension Token in his hand, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, inviting Hua Luoyu to join him for a gathering.

After they entered the city lord's mansion, the cultivators who hadn't had time to leave and were still standing there walked into the mansion with blank expressions.

Later, their relatives and friends never saw them again.

Jiang Shi, who was cultivating in his residence, was unaware of these important events and was working hard to consolidate his cultivation.

Three days later, Jiang Shi finished his practice and stood up. After these few days of cultivation, he had consolidated his cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

"To break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I still need a lot of resources. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to perfect the Five Elements Technique by just relying on hard work," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

He now needs to find a way to earn spirit stones to buy pills.

But given what happened at the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, he's afraid he'll be recognized if he tries to sell spirit talismans now.

Even if he changes his identity and sells in small quantities multiple times, it's all in vain, as cultivating the Five Elements Technique to perfection requires a large amount of resources.

Once a large number of spirit talismans flow into the Canglin City market, even if they are sold by different people, it will attract the attention of others.

"It seems we need to think of other ways to make money."

Jiang Shi went outside and strolled around the street.

I walked up to a stall where they were selling Moon Spirit Grass.

Jiang Shi suddenly had a thought: this Moon Spirit Grass was the main ingredient for refining the Spirit Recovery Pill.

This time, the elixir is also a best-selling item, and there's no worry about selling it.

He can learn alchemy, and as long as his alchemy skills improve, making money won't be difficult.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi stepped forward.

"How much are these Moon Spirit Herbs?" Jiang Shi asked.

"Fifteen spirit crystals per plant, discounts available for purchases of ten or more." The vendor, seeing that Jiang Shi was a stranger, casually quoted a high price.

This month, the market price for spirit herbs is five spirit crystals. Normally, the production volume is extremely large, so they can't be sold at a high price.

Even if it is the main ingredient for refining Rejuvenation Pills and Rejuvenation Liquid, it is useless because the failure rate of refining pills is extremely high.

Ten Moon Spirit Grasses can only be refined into one batch of pills by an ordinary person.

There are only one or two Rejuvenation Pills in each batch.

A single Grade 1 Low-level Rejuvenation Pill sells for fifty spirit crystals.

In other words, it would be a loss to refine only one pill using ten Moon Spirit Grasses, because refining the Rejuvenation Pill requires not only Moon Spirit Grasses but also some auxiliary medicinal materials.

You can only make money by refining two Grade 1 Low-level Spirit Recovery Pills from ten Moon Spirit Grasses!
