Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Standing on the nearby corridor, feeling the faint presence of the elderly man, though it was well-hidden, he still detected something unusual.

"This person seems to be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!" Lin Tianming thought to himself.

In fact, although there were not many Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the entire trading area, there were still more than a dozen of them, but none were as indifferent as this elderly man.

Lin Tianming, curious, approached the man.

His arrival did not attract the elderly man's notice, only causing him to frown slightly before he disregarded it.

"This man is quite interesting!"

Lin Tianming looked at the items in front of him, then picked up a damaged Jade Slip and held it in his hand.

Examining its ancient material, it seemed to have some age to it.

He projected his Divine Sense to read the contents of the Jade Slip, but there was a restriction making it so he could only get a rough idea.

"This seems to be a pill formula?" Lin Tianming muttered to himself with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist, does this Jade Slip contain a pill formula? What is its purpose?" Lin Tianming asked.

The robed elder's expression remained calm, and after opening his eyes, he still spoke indifferently about the general content of the Jade Slip.

"This is an Ancient Pill Recipe named the Dragon Bone Pill, Second Order Medium Quality, and it's a formula to aid in Body Refinement."

Upon hearing the elder's introduction, Lin Tianming's face lit up with ecstasy.

It was as if he had found exactly what he had been thinking of. If he could acquire this item, his cultivation dilemma would be resolved as well.

Before he could speak, the robed elder continued:

"Do not get too excited, fellow Daoist. This pill is not so easily concocted; its main ingredient is the inner core of the Second Order Demonic Beast Qinglong Jiao, which is nearly extinct. It is almost impossible to find, otherwise, I would not have sold it."

The elder's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lin Tianming's head.

The Qinglong Jiao, as an ancient demonic beast, although not of a high order, was exceedingly rare. Lin Tianming, having cultivated for over a decade, had never even heard of it. It was said to be extinct on the Nine Provinces Continent, with perhaps only those Ancient Forbidden Lands or central areas of the Demon Race still harboring it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming's expression immediately darkened. It had not been easy to find a suitable pill formula, yet there seemed to be little hope of actually concocting it.

Even so, he still did not want to give up. Whether he could concoct it or not, he wanted to purchase the pill formula for study. There might be a chance, after all, and currently, he had no way of finding another pill formula.

Making up his mind, Lin Tianming inquired about the price.

"Fellow Daoist, what price do you ask for this pill formula?"

Upon hearing this, the robed elder's expression showed a hint of peculiarity, then restored to normal.

"One thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!" the elder said.

Hearing this price, Lin Tianming could barely accept it, given that even a typical Second Order pill formula would cost over a thousand Spirit Stones.

"Fellow Daoist, this pill formula has very little hope of being concocted. How about a cheaper price, one thousand Spirit Stones to make a deal?"

The robed elder's expression was unchanged, and then he spoke:

"Forget it, the old man keeping it is of no use anyway; let's make a deal at the price you suggest!"

"However, fellow Daoist, don't blame me for not warning you, if you can't concoct the pill after buying this formula, do not bother me with your troubles."

Lin Tianming nodded, taking out the Spirit Stones and handing them to the elder, while saying:

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist; once bought, any oversight is my own volition and has nothing to do with you!"

Hearing this, the elder rarely smiled, then began to count the Spirit Stones.

Shortly after confirming the Spirit Stones were correct, the elder erased the restriction on the Jade Slip, and then handed it over to Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming received the Jade Slip, projecting his Divine Sense to read it.

In a short while, he confirmed that the content recorded in the Jade Slip was basically the same as what the elder had said. He then gave the elder a cupped fist salute and left the vendor's stall.

Looking at the few remaining stalls he had yet to visit, Lin Tianming didn't feel much interest anymore.

After scanning the entire trading area, he left and walked towards his rented cave dwelling.
