As for the other two items, they were the purple gold gourd and an emerald green seal. The one that was linked to Liu Chengfeng was that seal.
"What's the price for this seal?"
The blind old man indifferently replied as he slightly raised his chin.
"Three thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones."
"Three thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones!" Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, this price was undoubtedly astronomical for him. However, Liu Chengfeng didn't want to give up so he asked again.
"Can it be cheaper?"
"I'll pay the same price. If you don't want it, then please leave." Seeing that Liu Chengfeng hesitated, the blind old man immediately stopped talking.
When the unidentified Imprint Liu Chengfeng entered the market, he noticed that it wasn't because his eyes were sharp, but because the blood in his body had attracted him over.
This seal was definitely related to the blood corpuscle in his body. If he bought it, he might be able to unravel the secret. Unfortunately, the price offered by the blind old man was too high, so he had no choice but to give up.
Leaving the blind old man's stall, Liu Chengfeng continued to stroll through the other few stalls. The items on the stalls were either expensive or not suitable for him. Liu Chengfeng calculated the time, and knew that it was time to return.
He returned to Fu Ping's stall and saw that Fu Ping was conversing with three young men.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng had returned, Fu Ping smiled, raising his hand to signal for him to quickly come over.
"Received a big order, we will pack up and set off immediately." Fu Ping said as he stowed the items away.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng had returned, the three men nodded their heads and left the marketplace.
Three beautifully decorated carriages were waiting quietly at the Thousand Treasures Hall. As soon as they arrived, the three of them sat on the carriages. Just then, another carriage came out from the back of the Plethora Gem Tower, and the man in the lead gestured for Fu Ping and Liu Chengfeng to get on board.
After more than two hours of driving, Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping arrived at a villa. The Manor was leaning against the green mountain, surrounded by green trees and a man-made lake in front of the gate.
The three men invited Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping to wait in the living room. Soon the three of them followed a well-dressed man into the living room. Seeing that, Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping both stood up.
"Hehe, you two little brothers are the people who have come to help our Sishui Villa build the Spirit Convergence Array? I, Gu Yan, am the Villa Master. These three people are my sons, you've all met them. Come and sit down, please. " Gu Yan said politely.
"Senior Gu, there's no need to be courteous. The construction of the Spiritual Array is our job." Fu Ping replied.
Then, two servants brought tea and placed it on the table in front of the group. Fu Ping picked it up and drank without any hesitation.
"May I have your surname, my two little brothers?" Gu Yan asked.
"My surname is Fu, and his surname is Liu." Fu Ping looked at Liu Chengfeng and answered.
"Then, little brother Fu, when can we construct a Spiritual Array? I've already prepared all the spirit materials. "
"Anytime."
"In that case, let's start now!"
Under Gu Yan's lead, Fu Ping and Liu Chengfeng arrived at the rear mountain of the Sishui Villa. When Liu Chengfeng arrived, he felt that the place was filled with spirit energy.
Gu Yan brought Fu Ping to walk in a circle and chose a place with the densest spirit qi before setting up the array core.
The Formation Aperture was the key to the Spiritual Array, the core of the entire Array. Amongst the spirit materials prepared by Gu Yan, there was a Rank 5 Demonic Core, which could be used as the eye of the formation.
As Fu Ping released wave after wave of mystical runes, the demonic core became increasingly bright, and in the end, the core became even lower.
Rank 5 beast cores could automatically gather spiritual energy, so the spiritual energy in the mountains that was created by the beast cores was quickly pulled over.
Fu Ping drew an octagonal formation using Zhu Si as the center and added spirit materials into the eight corners of the spirit formation This simple method actually had some hidden profoundness, Liu Chengfeng stopped looking at it for a while.
The spirit array Fu Ping constructed was rather large, covering half of the entire mountain, enough for a hundred people to cultivate in at the same time. In the past, Fu Ping would usually receive small scale spirit arrays, but this time, he was constructing a medium scale Spirit Convergence Array.
The construction of the Spiritual Array tested the builder's patience. Unlike the talismans that were built in one go, it needed to be built bit by bit. In addition, the skeleton needs to be continuously improved after construction.
.
Five days had passed, five days had passed without Fu Ping not sleeping at all, he had immersed himself into the spirit array, while Liu Chengfeng sat beside the spirit array and waited quietly. Gu Yan had come twice in these five days, and left after every time he finished reading with great satisfaction.
After Gu Yan's eldest son, Gu Hong, delivered the last batch of spirit materials, the formation genie construction had also reached its final phase.
When the Spiritual Array was activated, the Gu family of the Sishui Villa ran over to take a look. Fu Ping asked Gu Yan for a hundred Intermediate Spirit Stones and stuffed them into the array core. Not long after, the array emitted a faint gold light, and a large amount of Spirit Qi was sucked into the array. An incomparably dense amount of spiritual energy filled the entire array.
Fu Ping walked out of the spirit array, his entire person haggard. He told Gu Yan the method to control the Spiritual Array and reminded him that after the Spiritual Array was activated, it did not need spirit stones to activate it. The Spiritual Array would automatically attract spirit energy to replenish its energy consumption.
Gu Yan was ecstatic upon seeing the spirit array Fu Ping had constructed. He praised Fu Ping in front of everyone, but Fu Ping did not care.
From the concentration of spirit energy in the array, Fu Ping's Spirit Convergence Array had already reached a medium level. This meant that Fu Ping had stepped into the ranks of the intermediaries.
Gu Yan entertained Fu Ping and Liu Chengfeng at the Sishui Villa. After the meal, Gu Yan handed over the wages to Fu Ping for constructing the array, and once Fu Ping took it over, he handed it over to Liu Chengfeng for safekeeping.
Afterwards, the two of them left Sishui Villa and returned to the Yizhou City, where they found an inn to rest. In the room of the inn, Liu Chengfeng took out the storage bag that Gu Yan had given him.
With so many spirit stones, Liu Chengfeng and Fu Ping were both dumbstruck. Neither of the two had expected Gu Yan to be so generous.
The two of them split the thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones equally according to their agreement. Since Fu Ping still did not have a storage bag, Liu Chengfeng gave the storage bag to Fu Ping.
After the spirit stones were distributed, the two of them rested for the night in the inn. The next morning, they went to the marketplace. The market was open for seven days, which was the seventh day including the five days he spent at the Sishui Manor.
On the last day, more cultivators came to the market than on the first day. Liu Chengfeng went to look for the blind old man's stall and discovered that he had left.
Fu Ping bought a few middle-levelled formation manuals and materials to construct the formation in the market, and all five hundred Intermediate Spirit Stones were spent.
After walking for a while, Liu Chengfeng couldn't find anything that caught his eye, so he prepared to leave the market to return to the Birdsong Peak.
Just as the two were about to go downstairs, Liu Chengfeng saw a middle-aged man carrying a bamboo basket go upstairs. The thing inside the basket was covered by a black cloth, but Liu Chengfeng could still recognize it at a glance.
Liu Chengfeng would never forget the benefits he obtained from soaking in the medicinal liquid that Huang Qing concocted more than ten days ago. He had always been thinking of buying some pills and paying a price to ask the alchemist in the sect to tell him how to use them.
Thus, Liu Chengfeng turned back. Fu Ping did not understand, but he did not ask.
The middle-aged man took some elixirs from the bamboo basket and placed them on the table to pick the condor.
Liu Chengfeng did not recognize most of the spiritual medicines on the table, he only recognized the book that was planted with the spiritual medicines.
When Liu Chengfeng walked over, there were already five or six people picking around the booth, so he walked over as well.
When Liu Chengfeng saw this kind of Rank 1 Spirit Grass, he had it in his hands. Soon, he had more than thirty stalks in his hands. The middle-aged man saw that Liu Chengfeng had specifically picked out Level 1 Spirit Medicines which could strengthen the bones and seemed to require a lot. Thus, he recommended the second or third stage Purple Lotus and Fire Lingzhi to him. These two medicinal effects were much better than the ones Liu Chengfeng chose. Of course, the price would be higher than the ones of the first stage.
"Senior, what are the prices of the two elixirs that you have recommended?" Liu Chengfeng asked for the price.
"The purple lotus has thirty years of experience as a level two elixir, and fifty Intermediate Spirit Stones are sold by each. The Fire Ganoderma is divided into three stages, and fifty pieces, with two hundred Intermediate Spirit Stones each. " Guan Jingren said.
"So expensive..." Liu Chengfeng touched his own pockets, changing hands before even covering his hands with five hundred spirit stones. However, no matter how many spirit stones he spent to increase his cultivation, it was still worth it.
Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and bought the two stalks of spirit herbs, as well as the ones he had chosen previously. He spent a total of two hundred and seventy Intermediate Spirit Stones s.
Guan Jingren looked at Liu Chengfeng who was in front of him and reminded him, "With your cultivation at the eighth level of Refinement, a first and second level Elixir is the best for your body. With your current cultivation, I am afraid that the third level of the Fire Lingzhi will not be able to endure its medicinal power. "After you break through to the ninth layer, using it to nourish your body will bring you no small amount of benefits."
Although he was able to see through Liu Chengfeng's cultivation, he felt that Liu Chengfeng had a good intention in recommending him for spirit medicine.
Liu Chengfeng then asked Guan Jingren how to use the spirit medicine to its best effect. When Guan Jingren saw how generous Liu Chengfeng was, he told him that the best way to use it was to refine the pellet, then to make the spirit liquid, and lastly to boil the medicinal liquid for use in the bathtub. However, the last method could only display a fifth of the effects of the spiritual medicine itself. Therefore, Guan Jingren did not recommend him to choose the last method.
After receiving the answer, Liu Chengfeng did not continue asking. He still had a few hundred Spirit Stones on hand, and he didn't have anything else to buy, so he might as well use them all to buy Spirit Medicines.
Just as Liu Chengfeng was continuing to select the spirit medicine, his finger was accidentally cut by a thorny plant, and the moment his blood flowed out of his body, it caused some movement. It was the same feeling as the emerald green seal that he felt a few days ago.
"Senior, what is the name of this spiritual medicine?" "What's the grade?" Liu Chengfeng pointed to the spirit medicine that was covered with thorns and asked.
"Oh, you're talking about the Fierce Sun Vine, right? It was a Class 2 Elixir that was very suitable for fire attributed cultivators and its price was the same as the Purple Lotus. "You're interested in it?" Guan Jingren asked.
"Right." After hearing what Guan Jingren said, Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed. He immediately gave Guan Jingren the fifty Intermediate Spirit Stones.
"Wait!" I am willing to pay ten times the price to buy this spiritual medicine! "
Suddenly, an overbearing voice came from behind Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng turned his head and saw a man wearing a golden robe with a fan in his hand walking towards them with big steps, supported by two followers.
