Not to mention, Qian Xiaoyue also has that pile of spirit talismans he gave her.
This time, besides Zhou Changwang, her good friend Lu Wei’Er also came, and accompanying them was Fang Shitong.
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Zhou Changwang was only slightly surprised but not unexpected.
The two had already had mutual feelings for each other, and now living together, it was only natural for them to become Dao partners.
"I heard Fellow Daoist Fang is now working with the Gong family?"
Meeting Fang Shitong, Zhou Changwang appropriately asked.
"Last time, Miss Gong invited me to join the Gong family. I didn’t agree then, but later I ran into her again and decided to accept.
Now I’m working in the Gong family’s guard team, earning over a hundred lower-grade spirit stones a month, which is sufficient."
Fang Shitong said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhou Changwang nodded.
Fang Shitong was previously a bounty cultivator, earning far more spirit stones then, but it was very dangerous. freёwebnovel.com
Now, he is not alone; with Lu Wei’Er, it’s quite normal to choose a stable life by joining the Gong family guard team.
This is, in fact, the choice of many middle-aged cultivators who have no hope of reaching Foundation Establishment.
In their youth, they roamed the world with dreams and a sword.
But when they realize they are not destined by fate and see the gap between themselves and true genius cultivators, they silently bend their backs and let go of unrealistic pursuits.
Fortunately, his will is not lost, and he will not abandon his pursuit of the immortal path.
Soon after, many cultivators from Shuiyun Pavilion who were about to head to Shuiyun Immortal Sect appeared.
Even the Pavilion Master Tang Yu Yan made an appearance.
Nowadays, Zhou Changwang could be considered one of their own, so she unusually showed a bit of closeness, walked over to greet him, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, have you adapted to the Spirit Land in Xiaofeng Mountain?"
"Adapted well.
Thank you, Pavilion Master, for your care.
I’m very satisfied with that Spirit Land."
Zhou Changwang replied immediately.
"That’s good.
Did you come this time to see Xiaoyue off?
Rest assured, although she is not the most talented among these preparatory disciples, she is the most diligent and has improved the most.
Moreover, with the recommendation token from her junior sister, passing the Shuiyun Immortal Sect’s entrance examination should not be difficult.
If she’s lucky, she might be accepted as a disciple by a senior in the sect, and perhaps her chances of reaching Foundation Establishment might be much greater than ours."
While speaking, Tang Yu Yan couldn’t help but show a trace of melancholy.
Her age, after all, was not young.
With less than ten years left, she will surpass the sixty-year limit.
Once a cultivator is over sixty, all bodily functions begin to decline, making it exponentially harder to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Currently, while she has reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, she still has no confidence in breaking through.
Most importantly, the Foundation Establishment Pill is hard to come by.
As a sect cultivator, her chances of obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill are greater, but it still requires sufficient resources and contributions to exchange for one.
"Indeed, she is diligent enough."
Zhou Changwang nodded, quite approvingly.
In just a few months, she cultivated from Qi Refining Fourth Layer to Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Without enough effort, given her three-attribute spirit root talent, it would also be extremely difficult to achieve.
However, not everyone is like Zhou Changwang, who has the aid of the attribute panel.
Shortly afterward, as the leading Senior Sister Hongmei spoke, a group of cultivators bid their farewells with family and friends and headed out towards the marketplace.
Zhou Changwang also followed them to the marketplace’s entrance, watching as Qian Xiaoyue and the others, led by ’Hongmei’ Senior Sister, headed towards a large caravan of over a hundred people before stopping.
"All good things must come to an end.
I hope next time we meet, we all have a brighter future."
Zhou Changwang murmured, then turned and walked into the marketplace.
Since he came out to the marketplace this time, he certainly wouldn’t leave in haste.
Finding a secluded corner, Zhou Changwang employed the Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique, altered his appearance, put on spare clothes, and began frequenting various shops to extensively buy vitality spiritual liquid.
Of course, besides vitality spiritual liquid, he also purchased some spiritual ores.
Cold Iron Ore, Earth Spirit Green Stone Ore, Stalactite Spirit Ore... these were all needed for cultivating the Star Source Spirit Fruit Tree.
A bottle of vitality spiritual liquid costs fifty lower-grade spirit stones; each shop could sell about ten bottles. Zhou Changwang went in and out of over a dozen shops, almost buying out all the vitality spiritual liquid in the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.
Additionally, he bought a large pile of various low-tier spiritual ores, almost filling up a storage bag.
By now, his spirit stones had almost been completely exhausted.
"This can be considered a big purchase.
He bought one hundred and ninety-five bottles of vitality spiritual liquid and a large pile of spiritual ores, costing more than fifteen thousand lower-grade spirit stones..."
Zhou Changwang felt a bit helpless too; who wouldn’t want to have a huge fortune with a large amount of spirit stones tucked away in their storage bag?
But the Star Source Spirit Fruit was too important for him.
Some expense, in his view, was worth it.
After all, if the spirit stones are gone, they can be earned again, but a chance to improve spirit root talent is not something that comes by every day.
The sooner the upgrade, the greater the benefits.
"Anyhow, in terms of cultivation, I have Jade Flower Pills and First-Grade Middle-Tier Spirit Rice Thunder Spirit Rice, plus the spiritual qi concentration in the Spirit Land is still adequate, so there won’t be any expenses needed for the short term."
