Mortal: I'm in Tianxing City, intelligence updates daily.

Upon entering, Gu Yan was meditating. When he saw Li Shizhou, he quickly stood up to greet him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Senior Brother Pei and Leng Ning'er each found a separate cabin to rest.

Li Shizhou chatted and reminisced with the Gu twins.

......

More than ten days later.

The Star Palace ship carried everyone safely back to the bustling Tianxing City.

Leng Ning'er and Li Shizhou followed Senior Brother Pei to the Inner Affairs Hall to hand over their mission.

As soon as they entered the Inner Affairs Hall, a middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown walked towards the three of them. Li Shizhou could not discern any cultivation level from the man.

Suddenly, Leng Ning'er excitedly exclaimed, "Ancestor, what brings you here?"

"It's because I saw your soul lamp flickering not long ago, and I happened to have some business in the Inner Affairs Hall, so I came to pick you up and take you back together," the middle-aged man with the purple-gold crown said with a doting expression.

Senior Brother Pei quickly bowed and said, "Junior Pei Ze greets Grandmaster Leng."

Li Shizhou realized that this was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he quickly bowed and said, "Junior Li Shizhou greets Grandmaster Leng."

Leng Ning'er was transmitting her voice to the middle-aged man.

A moment later, the middle-aged man in the purple-gold crown turned and looked Li Shizhou up and down a few times before saying, "You are Li Shizhou? You have done a good job saving Ning'er this time. Go to the Inner Affairs Hall to receive your reward later."

After he finished speaking, he used his escape light to take Leng Ning'er away gracefully.

Li Shizhou and his companion watched the other party leave before going to hand over the mission.

Along the way, Senior Brother Pei said enviously, "Senior Brother, congratulations to Junior Brother Li! To receive a reward from a Nascent Soul cultivator, you are sure to have a bright future."

Li Shizhou responded politely, while also feeling a sense of anticipation.

After the two finished exchanging tasks, the cultivator in charge said to Li Shizhou, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Li. Grandmaster Leng just instructed that you will not be conscripted for any more missions within the next hundred years."

After hearing this, Li Shizhou felt a surge of joy.

He has no shortage of resources now, and with beautiful women by his side, he doesn't need to worry about the side effects of the Pure Yang Technique.

He just wanted to slowly improve his cultivation in Tianxing City and become a carefree cultivator.

He had been worried about all sorts of missions that might come his way at any moment, but now even that worry is gone.

It's just unknown whether Master Leng's instructions were effective in the subsequent great battle between the Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance.

In the original book, Han Laomo had just come out of the Void Heaven Palace when he learned of the establishment of the Reverse Star Alliance.

At that time, Old Demon Han had already formed his core twenty years ago.

In the original book, Han Laomo was around 126 years old when he formed his core, so when he came out of the Void Heaven Palace, he was around 146 years old.

When Han Laomo was teleported to the Chaotic Star Sea, he was about thirty-one years old, and now twenty-five years have passed.

Based on this calculation, it is estimated that there are still about ninety years until the Reverse Star Alliance is established.

To get through that chaotic period, one would need at least the Core Formation cultivation level to barely protect oneself, and he didn't have much time left.

The best solution is to find a secluded place, prepare enough cultivation resources, and then live in seclusion with Zhuo Ruting, or simply leave the Chaotic Star Sea.

Thinking as he walked, Li Shizhou quickly left the Inner Affairs Hall.

It was still early, so he boarded the flying chariot and flew towards the market town of Tianxing City.

This time he went to the first stall area. This area is a bit special; only those with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment or above can set up stalls there.

As for the cultivators who go in to buy things, there are no restrictions on their cultivation level.

Of course, high-level cultivators like those at the Core Formation stage usually attend specialized trade fairs to trade cultivation materials, and wouldn't lower themselves to come to places like this.

So when Li Shizhou went in, all the stall owners were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

After staying inside for half an hour, the golden panel refreshed precisely on time.

[Daily Opportunity Information]

[Area: Five li]

[An: Wang Han, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, has a jade pendant with a dragon head pattern on his stall. From the outside, it only appears to be used to ward off the cold, but it actually contains a secret recipe for cultivating spiritual herbs. If you obtain it, you can learn the art of cultivating spiritual herbs.]

[Danger: Fan Xiaolian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Three Immortals Sect, has a Dust-Reducing Pill in her storage bag. Taking it will increase the success rate of her Core Formation later.]

Looking at the contents above, Li Shizhou showed little interest.

The cultivation time for slightly more precious spiritual herbs can range from a hundred to several hundred years, and some can even reach over a thousand years.

He doesn't have the little green bottle, and he doesn't have that much time to spend on it.

However, Zhuo Ruting is very interested in cultivating spiritual herbs, and she also has a good talent for it.

In his cave dwelling on the sacred mountain, Zhuo Ruting cultivated a medicinal garden of seven or eight acres. Whenever she had free time, she would tend to the medicinal garden and enjoy herself. However, she only planted some spiritual fruits with excellent taste to satisfy her appetite.

After considering it for a while, Li Shizhou decided to buy the jade pendant if the price was right.

After all, the path to immortality is long and arduous. It's always good to give your partner an extra skill; who knows, it might come in handy someday.

Cultivators are naturally gifted with photographic memories, and now that he has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Shizhou has already memorized everything at each stall.

Soon they arrived at a stall in a corner. The stall owner was a thin old cultivator with the cultivation level of early Foundation Establishment.

This time, Li Shizhou didn't beat around the bush and went straight to asking about the price.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this jade pendant?"

"This is an heirloom of mine. Wearing it on your body and using a little magic can dispel the extreme cold. It is priced at two hundred spirit stones."

Li Shizhou tried to bargain, but the old monk refused to sell and insisted on keeping his price firm.

Two hundred spirit stones were nothing to him now, and he still bought the jade pendant in the end.

After buying his things, Li Shizhou left the market and flew towards his cave.

On the way, he took out the jade pendant and carefully examined it with his divine sense. After a while, he discovered an extremely hidden restriction inside.

This restriction is of average strength, but its main advantage lies in its secrecy.

His spiritual sense was now slightly stronger than that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he removed the restrictions on the object along the way.

Upon examining the jade pendant placed on the forehead, a legacy containing the cultivation of spiritual herbs was revealed.

After glancing at the contents of the inheritance, he had already flown to the cave on the fifty-third floor of the Holy Mountain.

As soon as he opened the light screen and went inside, Zhuo Ruting was already flying towards him.

Li Shizhou opened his arms and embraced the soft, delicate body in his embrace.

"My husband, you're finally back. I've been so anxious ever since you left," Zhuo Ruting whispered in his ear.

After spending some time together, the two returned to the main stone chamber.

The next day at dawn, after Zhuo Ruting returned to her stone chamber, Li Shizhou took out several pieces of dark-colored ornaments.

These cups were made from the treasures of an ancient sect. He would wear them when no one was around, and they truly had the effect of nourishing the soul. Now it can be confirmed that the five cups were made of soul-nourishing wood.

It is precisely because of this item, coupled with the Pure Yang Technique's ability to temper the soul, that he possesses his current powerful divine sense.

After hanging up the ornaments, Li Shizhou took out a storage bag. He had obtained it from the corpse in the Purple-Eyed Bi's nest. He had only glanced at it before, and now he could take stock of it.
