The middle-aged man who was previously behind the counter ca out quickly upon seeing this.
"Hiss, it’s actually a mid-stage second rank ’Kui Water Tiger Shrimp’, of decent quality, but as for the demon pill..."
The middle-aged man looked up at Ji Yuan.
The latter spread his hands with a helpless smile and said, "The demon pill was naturally taken by my master."
Ji Yuan was now disguised as a middle-aged man, and with the words "my master"...
Especially a master who could hunt mid-stage second rank demon beasts... made many of the previously surprised disciples of the Water Dragon Sect withdraw their gaze.
At the sa ti, Ji Yuan was secretly thinking that, given this, the Big Toad’s strength should indeed be around mid-stage second rank.
Equivalent to mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, very impressive indeed.
"Of course, of course."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, and after a careful inspection, he finally gave a price.
"Without the demon pill, only the remains are left, so the price can’t be too high... How about 40 Spirit Stones, fellow cultivator?"
The Spirit Stones here naturally referred to mid-grade Spirit Stones.
"Well... okay, I guess."
Indeed, just the remains could sell for 40 Spirit Stones, which was beyond Ji Yuan’s expectations... Maybe he should let the Big Toad risk it again and hunt a few more mid-stage second rank demon beasts?
A thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Yuan then went to the counter, paid 17 mid-grade Spirit Stones, and took away the demon pill along with the corpses of 3 Flying Locusts.
Each Flying Locust was nearly two ters large, entirely golden, looking extrely imposing.
The thod used to kill it was even more domineering.
A single sword to the throat!
The corpse wasn’t damaged in the slightest.
Given this, the cultivator who did it might have been at the late-stage Foundation Establishnt... An ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishnt might not have such strength.
After finishing the trade, Ji Yuan was about to leave.
But unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached again, smiling, and asked, "I wonder which Island Master your esteed teacher is, perhaps acquainted with our shop owner, the Fire Phoenix Island Master?"
"My master enjoys quiet and prefers not to say much, please forgive , fellow cultivator."
Ji Yuan wasn’t lying; except when eating, the Big Toad was always sleeping.
Isn’t that a love for peace?
"No worries, no worries, it was my impertinence."
The middle-aged man smiled and handed over a purple Jade Pendant, "This is a token from our Suspended Demon Shop, if you need anything next ti, use this token to get a ten percent discount."
"Well... then I thank you on behalf of my master."
It’s certainly because of his own mysterious master that Ji Yuan did not refuse.
In other words, the offer was a sign of respect towards his "master."
By accepting, it was a respect towards the "Fire Phoenix Island Master."
"You’re too kind, fellow cultivator."
"Farewell."
After leaving the Suspended Demon Shop, Ji Yuan wandered around nearby for a while but didn’t notice anyone following him.
It seems that the Water Dragon Sect is indeed quite safe.
Or one could say that his "master" carries face.
Later on, Ji Yuan spent more ti roaming around All Things Island but couldn’t find any trace of the Profound Yin Soil.
It wasn’t until a kind fellow cultivator directed him that he arrived at a slightly eerie shop.
Upon entering, Ji Yuan felt a familiar chill from the Yin Ghost Banner... Could the shop owner be a demon cultivator?
"What does fellow cultivator need?"
A warm, llow voice ca from behind the counter, and a handso man in a white robe stood up.
Ji Yuan was sowhat taken aback by his appearance.
For no reason, whether in voice or appearance, the man before him exuded a warm and jade-like aura.
"Profound Yin Soil, do you have it, fellow cultivator?"
Ji Yuan got straight to the point.
"Yes, Profound Yin Soil is sothing that, aside from the Hundred Treasures Tower, only our small shop on All Things Island carries," said the man in the white robe with a smile.
"Oh?"
Ji Yuan exclaid, "No wonder I’ve been searching for so long and couldn’t find it."
"Cultivating this Profound Yin Soil requires a special thod, and very few know of it. Just looking for it shows keen insight on your part, fellow cultivator."
The man in the white robe spoke as he retrieved a Black Wood Box from his Storage Bag.
"How much do you need, fellow cultivator?"
"Five jin."
"One jin for 1 Spirit Stone, fair enough?"
"Low-grade?" Ji Yuan probed.
The man in the white robe paused, then smiled helplessly, "You’re joking, fellow cultivator."
"Heh, hehe."
Ji Yuan rubbed his hands, trying to hide his embarrassnt.
"Do you want it, fellow cultivator?"
"Yes, I do."
Five jin of Profound Yin Soil cost Ji Yuan 5 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
In this way, to upgrade the Level 3 Spirit Field, it cost a total of... 112 mid-grade Spirit Stones!!
Converted to low-grade Spirit Stones, that would be 11,200.
Damn, upgrading buildings really isn’t a job for humans.
It’s damn expensive.
But thinking of the thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass and then Foundation Establishnt, it’s all worth it, indeed worth it.
Looking at it from another perspective, he’s quite fortunate.
No need to risk his life out there.
If it were other cultivators, their Foundation Establishnts... all co from risking their lives.
Having gathered everything needed to upgrade the Spirit Field, as Ji Yuan was about to go back and carry out the upgrade, he rembered sothing else.
With a bit of thought, he flew the Scarlet Skies Skiff to the core area of All Things Island.
He arrived at the Pill Tower.
Ji Yuan stayed inside for nearly half an hour before coming out expressionless.
Then he flew aboard the Flying Boat again, heading towards Chulong Island.
After flying out a good distance, he rubbed his face and let out a long sigh.
He had just visited the Hundred Treasures Tower to inquire about the prices of Foundation Establishnt Pills and the thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass.
