Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#263 - Guo Yi, owner of Treasure Pavilion in Deyun City

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengfeng conjured a long blade in his hand and slashed down.

Before Jia Hai could understand what was happening, he felt a dizzying sensation, and all memories of Li Chengfeng deep within his mind vanished.

That segment of memory was like a blank space; any attempt to recall it resulted in a splitting headache.

Just as Jia Hai was lost in wild thoughts, Li Chengfeng had already disappeared.

He left Jia Hai there, and his future fortune depended entirely on himself.

Li Chengfeng steered the Sky Sword and flew another ten thousand miles, finally entering the border region of Qi.

Here, the birds sang and the flowers exuded fragrance, a stark contrast to the Fengyun Kingdom.

Qi was even wealthier than the Nanli Kingdom, with its people living without any concerns about food and clothing.

The Qi royal family was extremely powerful, capable of suppressing immortal cultivation sects, which allowed them to bring a peaceful life to their people.

However, Li Chengfeng was also aware that this was just a superficial appearance.

Behind the scenes, some unsavory things still happened from time to time.

But he would not interfere in these trivial matters unless they involved him directly.

Along the way, he also witnessed many instances of bullying and oppression, but he understood that everyone had their own destiny. Only when something truly involved his own karma would he intervene.

Li Chengfeng traveled thousands of miles, deliberately avoiding crowded towns and choosing to proceed along the outskirts.

His destination was the Qingyun Sect, a massive sect located in the core region of Qi, whose strength far surpassed that of the Fengyun Sect.

Although there were rumors of a Nascent Soul stage elder in Qi, Li Chengfeng had no great interest in it, as his current strength was not yet sufficient to delve into those levels.

His main purpose for this trip was to observe the local customs and planned to purchase some cultivation resources in Deyun City.

As a gathering place for cultivators, Deyun City was extremely large and prosperous.

Li Chengfeng's Three Yuan Pills had been used up, and he intended to purchase new pills here and inquire if there were any suitable cultivation methods for sale.

He planned to create some level two puppets, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in strength, to serve as cannon fodder in battles.

These puppets could deplete the enemy's forces and were unafraid of death, making them an important aid to him.

Although it would cost some spirit stones, it was nothing to him, as he was now flush with wealth.

For safety's sake, Li Chengfeng changed his appearance, transforming into Jia Hai, a loyal and honest figure.

He chose to go to the Treasure Pavilion in Deyun City for transactions because the Treasure Pavilion was honest with everyone, and the prices were fair.

Although some small chambers of commerce or loose cultivators might offer cheaper deals, Li Chengfeng believed that would be both time-consuming and risky.

At the Treasure Pavilion, Li Chengfeng could purchase the resources he needed without spending a lot of time choosing.

He wanted to buy enough spiritual herbs to refine Three Yuan Pills, as well as some other spiritual herbs and damaged magical items.

In addition, he paid special attention to the fragments of explosive spell techniques, intending to acquire some to enhance his combat capabilities.

For this trip to Deyun City, Li Chengfeng made thorough preparations. He carried dozens of Foundation Establishment stage substitute puppets to ensure his own safety.

In the Treasure Pavilion, he first checked the value of various spiritual herbs and damaged magical items, selecting some items that were useful to him for purchase.

As soon as Li Chengfeng made an appearance with this look, a beautiful female cultivator immediately greeted him.

Li Chengfeng said frankly, "I want to do a big business deal. You can't make the decision. Introduce me to your shopkeeper!"

The Treasure Pavilion's service was first-class throughout the cultivation world. This female cultivator's eyes sparkled, and her appearance was delicate and pretty. She smiled sweetly and said, "Senior, you want to do a big business deal? I'll take you to see the shopkeeper right away."

The female cultivator couldn't close her mouth with joy and introduced herself, "Senior, my name is Lanlan."

After speaking, she respectfully led Li Chengfeng to the Treasure Pavilion's shopkeeper reception room.

The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a fair complexion and sharp eyes. At first glance, he looked like an experienced businessman.

The abacus in his hand was clicking rapidly, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

As soon as Li Chengfeng entered the door, the shopkeeper stood up, clasped his fist, and asked, "This fellow Daoist, I am Guo Yi. What would you like to buy, or what kind of big business do you plan to do?"

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and directly handed over a list: "This is my request. Please take a look."

The shopkeeper Guo Yi took the list and swept it with his divine sense, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

He had never seen such a large order. This purchasing power far exceeded any cultivator he had ever received before.

He carefully looked Li Chengfeng up and down. Although his appearance seemed ordinary, the shopkeeper knew that people could not be judged by appearances.

Anyone who could take out so many spirit stones to buy must not be an ordinary person. He secretly praised in his heart and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest: "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, we have all the items on the list. I will send someone to prepare them right away."

Li Chengfeng took out two more storage bags and handed them to the shopkeeper: "I also have some items I want to sell."

The shopkeeper Guo Yi swept it with his divine sense again, and suddenly felt dizzy, as if surrounded by the light of countless treasures.

To his surprise, he discovered that these items actually contained rare materials that their Treasure Pavilion had been looking for all along.

The shopkeeper Guo Yi laughed loudly and quickly said, "I will calculate the amount for Fellow Daoist."

He knew in his heart that his commission would be very considerable for this transaction.

The shopkeeper Guo Yi almost held his breath during the calculation process.

This seemingly honest loose cultivator had actually brought such a large amount of materials. The preliminary estimate was that the value was as high as one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.

But the other party did not take out a single spirit stone, but took away all the spiritual herbs and treasures.

Obviously, the other party knew the Treasure Pavilion's valuation well and did not allow any mistakes.

The shopkeeper knew that if he dared to tamper with this transaction, he would probably lose this big customer forever.

Guo Yi said to Li Chengfeng with a smile on his face, "This fellow Daoist, do you think this amount is appropriate?

Because your order is so large, I have given you a 10% discount according to the Treasure Pavilion's rules. In this way, you can save a lot of spirit stones."

Li Chengfeng smiled faintly. He knew that he would get a bigger discount if he took out his VIP card, but he didn't want to reveal his identity and didn't care about that little discount.

He nodded to thank: "Thank you, shopkeeper. If there is a good business in the future, I will have to trouble the shopkeeper to take care of me."

The shopkeeper Guo Yi agreed repeatedly, his heart filled with joy. He turned around and took out two porcelain bowls from the storage bag, and then took out a small pot of spiritual tea.

As soon as the spiritual tea was taken out, it exuded a refreshing fragrance.

He introduced with a smile: "This is Enlightenment Tea. Although it is not real Enlightenment Tea, it is carefully blended with more than 30 kinds of spiritual herbs.

Taking a sip can clear your mind and improve your thinking activity. It is valuable, and I specially invited Fellow Daoist to taste it today."

After speaking, he put the tea leaves into the two bowls separately, and poured a cup for himself as well.

Then he cast a spell, and the clear tea was brewed instantly, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Li Chengfeng picked up the teacup, tasted it carefully, took a sip and praised: "It is indeed good tea."

Then, he asked the shopkeeper, "I don't know if the Treasure Pavilion has any cultivation methods for sale? Even if it is a broken cultivation method or secret method, I intend to buy some, mainly for research.

In addition, please pay more attention to books or items related to formations, shopkeeper."

When the shopkeeper Guo Yi heard this, a fiery light flashed in his eyes.

He guessed that Li Chengfeng might be collecting information for some great power, and he was even more convinced that this loose cultivator was no ordinary person.

He quickly said: "The Treasure Pavilion does not have many of the things that Fellow Daoist needs, after all, like this kind of broken secret book.

Cultivation methods have no value at all. If I, the Treasure Pavilion, take it out to sell, wouldn't I be accused of being a liar? It is said that we use inferior products to pass off as good ones, of course, there are also some special valuable broken cultivation methods and secret techniques.

We, Zhenbao Pavilion, have also collected some formations, which can be sold to Fellow Daoist, and the price is very fair?"
