The cave residence has just been built, so naturally there are still many miscellaneous trivial matters. Ye Qingchen cannot stay on Hidden Dragon Mountain all the ti.
He left three lotus seeds with the Three-tailed Fox and took the remaining twenty-one lotus seeds down the mountain.
"Mr. Ye, leaving that fox on Hidden Dragon Mountain, won’t it cause any problems?"
Down the mountain.
Lu Yanwu was still looking back every few steps. By now, she had already recovered from the shock of the Spirit Spring and the joy of receiving six lotus seeds. The more she thought about that fox, the stranger it seed.
If this fox were to break free from its bindings and take away the Creation Lotus and Blood Bodhi Tree, wouldn’t that an Ye Qingchen would be losing both wife and soldiers?
"Indeed, indeed!"
Zhou Hai nodded repeatedly.
"She won’t!" Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes and said calmly, "If it were an ordinary magical beast, I’d really be worried. But this Three-tailed Fox is different. She still needs to rely on the vast spiritual energy within Hidden Dragon Mountain, she won’t leave anyti soon!"
Zhou Hai and Lu Yanwu exchanged glances but seeing Ye Qingchen so confident, they could only suppress their doubts.
Of course.
What Ye Qingchen didn’t say was that this Three-tailed Fox absolutely has a big secret.
Thinking about it here, his gaze beca distant, long.
anwhile.
Hidden Dragon Mountain.
The Three-tailed Fox looked at the three lotus seeds in its paws, a hint of a human-like smile appearing at the corner of her mouth:
"I didn’t expect to fall to such an extent and encounter such an interesting young man!"
"Well then, well then!"
"Anyway, there’s still a long way to go before I return to my peak period. Given that, I’ll guard Hidden Dragon Mountain for you for so ti! It’s better than staying here alone."
...
Returning to Lintian City was already noon the second day.
Along the way, the hustle and bustle on the street had little discussion about yesterday’s events at Lantai River by then. After all, with the Taotian Palace selection soon, heroes are erging endlessly, quickly drowning out other events.
For this, Ye Qingchen wasn’t particularly concerned, he walked with his hands behind his back, continuously pondering how to arrange arrays on Hidden Dragon Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Swords Array and the Ten Directions Heaven-Breaking Array, as the two strongest sword arrays he mastered, were naturally essential. But just these two killing arrays were not enough.
Besides these, a Spirit Gathering Array is needed to gather the spiritual energy scattered in Hidden Dragon Mountain. Also needed is an Illusion Array to conceal the situation within Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Calculating carefully, this would be a large investnt. With rely the hundreds of spirit stones he had seized from Zhao Mo before, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"Zhang Yucheng and Zhao Qian should have quite a few spirit stones, but the situation at the ti didn’t allow it." Ye Qingchen sighed inwardly, never imagining he would fall into such a money shortage.
"How do you usually make money?" Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen turned his gaze to Lu Yanwu and Zhou Hai who were following behind.
"Well... I usually take on so tasks." Lu Yanwu thought for a mont, "So cultivators will issue tasks, such as chasing or hunting magical beasts, and upon completion, a reward is given. Or rely on a certain family and beco an Honored Guest."
"Too slow!"
Ye Qingchen shook his head.
These matters were akin to what he experienced on the Barbaric Continent before. However, such tasks are too complex, and processes too long. To earn enough for the array setup, who knows how long it would take.
As for relying on a certain family.
Sure, it has pros and cons, but currently, he doesn’t want to be restricted by family norms.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Qingchen asked.
"Then I don’t know." Lu Yanwu shook her head, "Ordinary cultivators wanting to make money generally only have these options. If you are an Alchemist or an Array Master, or an Artifact Refiner, then it’s possible."
"Alchemist? Mr. Ye is an Alchemist!" Zhou Hai’s eyes lit up. He quickly said, "Mr. Ye, you can go to Martial City to sell elixirs! Or specifically refine elixirs for people!"
Martial City?
After Zhou Hai explained, Ye Qingchen finally understood.
So.
In each city, there exists a Martial City. Though not as grand as the Longevity Pavilion, it is akin to a small market. It not only sells elixirs, weapons, cultivation techniques.
But there are also many unidentified items appearing here.
"Earth-grade top-grade dicinal herbs picked from Celestial Dragon Mountain, only half a low-grade spirit stone!"
"White Flood Dragon’s scales and bone marrow, co and take a look!"
"Flying Sword-toothed Tiger’s fangs, selling cheap!"
Upon stepping into Martial City, Ye Qingchen saw street stalls filled with items on both sides, with people coming and going, selecting in front of various stalls.
Ye Qingchen also found.
There were quite a few Alchemists setting up stalls in Martial City, with an alchemy furnace beside them.
Almost as soon as an elixir appears, it gets snatched away quickly by others.
Especially the healing elixirs, which are in high demand. After all, being a cultivator involves constant fighting, and injuries are frequent. Many cultivators store so to use at critical tis.
Having so stall experience, Ye Qingchen wasn’t in a hurry. He directly found a stall on the street side and hung up a banner:
"Selling healing elixirs and various recovery elixirs!"
Once he put up the banner, it drew many side glances, but most people only glanced briefly before losing interest and heading to other Alchemists.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t any custors coming?" Zhou Hai was sowhat stunned; he thought Ye Qingchen would naturally attract a bustling crowd once he put up a banner.
Yet, a good half-day passed without a single custor showing up.
"I don’t understand it either." Lu Yanwu was also becoming restless.
But Ye Qingchen didn’t mind, he sat there cross-legged, cultivating quietly amidst the lack of custors. Until the market was about to close, even the Alchemists packed up and left.
"Master Bai Mu, if you go, what will happen to my elixirs?" A scraggly-bearded Zhu Wenhao looked at the Alchemist before him, full of amazent. "I’ve been waiting for you for half a day..."
"Today’s ti is up, want elixirs, co back tomorrow!"
A young Alchemist in a profound robe, with a cold face, waved and collected the alchemy furnace, leaving without turning back.
Zhu Wenhao stood there dumbfounded, full of regret and dissatisfaction, helplessly watching the other leave. Although these Alchemists may not have high cultivation, he dared not offend them.
Let alone their extensive connections; if one day they refuse to sell you elixirs, it would be a headache.
"Without elixirs, what should be done? Tonight, there’s no way to hunt that Red Blood Fury Lizard!"
This Red Blood Fury Lizard is a big creature, and a City Lord in Hidden Heaven City placed a hefty bounty for its capture. They had tracked it for half a month before finding the Red Blood Fury Lizard’s traces.
The planned main attack is tonight, so the captain sent him to buy more elixirs just in case.
But who knew.
After waiting for half a day, the other party decided to leave. Just as he was frustrated, his gaze suddenly shifted, catching sight of Ye Qingchen in the corner, his eyes instantly lighting up:
"Are you also selling healing elixirs?"
