My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

After four months of seclusion, a breakthrough was achieved.

Wei Jing was in a very good mood, so he summoned the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and rode the wind up to the clouds.

A strong wind blew against his face, but Wei Jing remained unmoved.

At this moment, the spiritual power within his body was almost twice as much as when he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In the later stages of Qi Refining, with each breakthrough, the spiritual energy within the body undergoes a quantitative change.

When he reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, he leaped forward to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

That would be a qualitative change, and might even lead to a leap in the level of life itself.

Spiritual power transforms into magical power, and lifespan increases dramatically.

Wei Jing rode the wind and rode the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle, unknowingly arriving at a bustling place.

"Yueshi Mountain Market," Wei Jing muttered.

"I happen to have some spirit stones on hand, so I can go and browse the market to see if there are any suitable items."

So Wei Jing rode the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and landed on a nearby mountain.

As soon as Wei Jing landed, several people in the market gathered around to recommend their items.

The Yue Shi Shan Market was overseen by the Qing Fu Sect, which specifically designated a hilltop within the sect's outer perimeter.

With the backing of the Qingfu Sect, nearby independent cultivators, cultivation families, and some large cultivation organizations have all moved in.

After hundreds of years of development, Yue Shi Fang City has grown into a small town.

Wei Jing put away the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and looked around at the dense, chaotic cluster of buildings.

Looking further into the center, there is a circular central plaza.

A large number of independent cultivators, cultivators from small families, and even menial disciples from the Qingfu Sect occupied a piece of land on the ground to sell their goods.

In the very heart of the central area stand three tall and magnificent buildings, which seem out of place with the surrounding stalls, vendors, and low, dilapidated buildings.

These three magnificent buildings include one of the Qingfu Sect's own commercial buildings, which sells magic spells, spiritual artifacts, elixirs, various spiritual treasures, talismans, and so on.

The second building, named Treasure Pavilion, was a large commercial organization with businesses spanning several states and counties, making it a behemoth.

The last one is an auction house that holds auctions every few days, featuring all sorts of rare and precious treasures.

However, this is not something that ordinary rogue cultivators or low-level cultivators can participate in.

This is an auction house opened by Linghuang Immortal City in Wushan. It belongs to a Nascent Soul cultivator and its backing is not to be underestimated.

Only such a powerful force could possess such a grand display and magnificent architecture within the Qingfu Sect's mountain gate.

"Young man, I have all kinds of talismans for sale here, such as the Swiftness Talisman and the Lightness Talisman."

"Go away, get out of here! Can't you see they came riding a flying magical artifact?"

"Still using the Swiftness Talisman? Don't force yourself if you don't have a job!" A young man forcefully pushed the other man aside, then approached Wei Jing and said:

"Fellow Daoist, look here I have all kinds of pills: Qi-Nourishing Pills to speed up cultivation, Purple Ginseng Pills to strengthen the foundation, and Power Pills to prolong life."

"How about we sell them all for one spirit stone each?"

Wei Jing smiled and said, "You don't have an easy life either!"

"Thank you, I'll take another look."

These low-level pills, which don't meet the required standards, are no longer of much use in one's cultivation.

Even the top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill was somewhat beneath Wei Jing's notice; he needed to pair it with a stimulant like the Spirit Cultivation Pill to give it a boost.

"Hey! Don't go! There's more, there's more!"

Several people surrounded him, trying to sell him all sorts of magical items. In their eyes, Wei Jing was so young, yet he was able to ride a flying magical artifact.

Isn't this a perfect fat sheep?

If not now, when?

"Young man, take a look at mine..."

"Fellow Daoist, this is a spirit wine brewed using my family's secret techniques. Drinking it can loosen the neck..."

Annoyed to no end, Wei Jing raised his voice and shouted, "I want to buy a suitable magical artifact? Does anyone have one?"

"Well……"

The crowd looked at each other, speechless.

Spiritual artifacts are not something everyone can afford; even the most ordinary low-grade first-tier spiritual artifact costs several hundred spirit stones.

If you encounter a top-grade spiritual weapon, even a thousand spirit stones wouldn't be too much.

This person looked young and immediately asked to buy a magical artifact, but no one questioned him.

Because this young man originally came to ride a flying magical artifact.

Flying artifacts are relatively rare among artifacts, and their prices are correspondingly high.

Sure enough, after Wei Jing shouted, no one was around him anymore.

"Ahem, young master, we naturally don't have any magical artifacts. I estimate that only three families in the entire market sell them."

The three major businesses that person mentioned were Qingfu Sect's own trading building and Treasure Pavilion, as well as Linghuang City's auction house.

Wei Jing didn't really look down on the goods sold by these small vendors.

I just find these people noisy.

He would wander through the streets and alleys, stopping at the stalls and buying anything that caught his eye.

"Brother, you have a good eye. Although my fishhook is not a magical artifact, it is imbued with auspiciousness. Every time I fish, I am sure to catch a big fish."

"You can even catch spirit fish," the vendor said, enthusiastically promoting his fishing hooks.

"How much?" Wei Jing didn't care about auspiciousness or anything like that. He just thought it would be nice to buy a few to take home. In his spare time from farming and cultivation, he could occasionally go fishing at Jade Lake.

Before long, Wei Jing bought a bunch of trinkets, none of which were worth much money; a single spirit stone could buy a whole bunch of them.

As he walked, he suddenly stopped and stood in front of a tall building.

The building is magnificent and luxurious, with three large characters "Danding Pavilion" on the plaque above the entrance.

Without much hesitation, Wei Jing went straight into the attic.

The first floor of Dan Ding Pavilion was extremely spacious and empty, with only a few long tables and tea sets set up, where a few cultivators were drinking tea and chatting.

You have to understand that in Yue Shi Fang City, where every inch of land is precious, the small shops outside try to fill every corner of their stores with goods.

"Welcome to the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, esteemed immortal master. What would you like to purchase?"

Upon seeing someone arrive, a woman in palace attire immediately came out of the pavilion to greet them, her face bearing a slight smile that made one feel quite comfortable.

"I want to buy a high-grade spiritual weapon, an offensive one, any type."

"But no knives or swords."

Wei Jing stated his demands directly, not wanting to waste any more time.

He already had the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and the storage bag; what he lacked now was a defensive magical artifact and an offensive magical artifact.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money, otherwise Wei Jing would have definitely bought both items.

As for why he didn't buy a defensive magical artifact, Wei Jing reasoned that if he couldn't win, he could run away; after all, he had already cultivated escape techniques and had the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle.

The woman in palace attire was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"A top-grade spiritual artifact? I can't make that decision. I can take you to the fourth floor, where our Steward Ou is on duty."

"Hmm!" Wei Jingdian nodded.
