Chapter 26 Purchase_1

Li Pin avoided the alley selling the Five Elements Body Refining Technique and went to the one next door.

After a few turns, he stopped in front of a stall selling medicinal herbs.

He was individually sensing the stimulation of these medicinal herbs on the vital energy in his body.

When he touched the Blood Burning Powder, he paused slightly.

"How much for this one?"

"Three thousand per gram."

"Do you have Burning Blood Grass?"

Li Pin asked.

The stall owner glanced at Li Pin.

Blood Burning Powder is a derivative of Burning Blood Grass which can greatly activate Qi and Blood, making it burn and boil, thereby enabling martial artists to unleash stronger combat power.

It acts similar to a stimulant.

However, it leaves one weakened for several days after use.

Thinking Li Pin wanted to buy the Burning Blood Grass to extract it himself and save costs, the stall owner pondered for a moment before he replied: "We do have it, it's thirty thousand per kilogram. I'm not interested in selling quantities less than a kilogram."

"Give me a kilogram for now."

"Okay, I will arrange for it to be sent here."

The vendor took out his mobile phone and sent a text: "You can pick it up half an hour later."

Li Pin nodded.

He had just sensed that Burning Blood Grass seemed to stimulate life vitality very well. As for the specific effect, he would have to wait till he tried it to find out.

If it worked as he imagined...

His breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage could be fast-tracked even more.

"Do you have any aged medicinal herbs?"

"Depends on what kind you're looking for."

"Hundred-year-old Ginseng."

"We do, but the price increases based on the specific age, from three to five thousand per gram."

The vendor said.

Upon further consideration, Li Pin realized he couldn't afford it.

A piece of Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng usually weighs more than 300 grams, and at that price, it costs more than a million.

Moreover, it's not worth the cost.

Then, Li Pin got up and continued to browse other stalls.

Hoping to pick up some good stuff with his perception talent.

At that moment, he noticed a group of people gathering around a stall, with suppressed exclamations coming from it.

"It truly is a Star Artifact."

"Although it's forged from low-quality Star Crystal, it's still a Star Artifact."

Attracted by the sound, Li Pin approached.

On the stall, there were no other goods, just an ordinary-looking bracelet.

Priced at 2.8 million.

"A Star Artifact..."

Li Pin was getting close to something related to Star Refiners for the first time.

Martial artists can hardly stimulate the wonders of Star Artifacts.

And low-quality Star Artifacts...

Basically, they do not have any special properties.

However, for martial artists, these low-quality Star Artifacts have an effect that Star Refiners do not care about but is very crucial to them.

It can make technological weapons have a small chance of malfunctioning when used against martial artists.

One must know, even the most powerful martial artist can't withstand machine guns and cannons.

Over the past few decades, there were numerous martial masters and grandmasters, who have been oppressed and shot to death by ordinary people with guns.

However, if the martial artist is equipped with a Star Artifact, his survival rate would increase significantly.

The more and higher-quality Star Artifacts a martial artist wears, the higher the probability of a technological weapon malfunctioning when used against them.

If equipped with a body full of Star Artifacts, under some circumstances, they can be immune to the attack of technological weapons just like Star Refiners.

That's why even low-quality Star Artifacts can still be sold at high prices.

"Two million eight hundred thousand."

Li Pin thought of the Star Crystal he possessed.

Even if it was not a Star Artifact, it could still be sold for a million or two.

This was not a small amount of money.

Including the millions he would get from the Red Sun Apparel, he could afford to buy a house in Jiangzhou Capital.

By the time Li Yunyao finishes her college entrance exams, he could move to Jiangzhou Capital with her and Mother Li.

The capital, with a high-level Star Refiner as its guardian, is much safer than any county town.

"Everyone knows about my Killing Cat Demon, so I can sell it through regular channels."

Li Pin circled around and returned to the stall selling the Dragon-Shaped Fist.

The Dragon-Shaped Fist could be integrated into his Eight Fierce Beasts - Chi Dragon True Fire Power. He spent a hundred and sixty thousand to buy this Fist Technique that directly led to the Holding Elixir.

After buying the scriptures, he returned to the medicine stall to buy a pound of Burning Blood Grass.

Just as he was planning to continue browsing, he noticed that the crowd had thinned out a little. Some stall owners even closed their stalls early and left in a hurry, as if something had happened.

Li Pin observed for a moment, and quickly followed the crowd out of the alley.

He saw a group of more than ten people standing silently not far from the alleys, their faces cold and unwelcoming.

Yet none of them stepped into the alley.

Li Pin observed for a while and quickly recognized two of them.

"Deputy Leader of the Five Elements Sect, Cao Zuoqiu, Qi Dongyuan!?"

These two were high-ranking figures, with Cao Zuoqiu having successfully achieved Holding Elixir five years ago.

The sect leader of the Five Elements Sect, Cao Tianyou, was a Grandmaster of Astral Cultivation. He founded the Five Elements Sect thirty years ago and single-handedly elevated it to the top of Zanglong City. At his peak, he ranked in the top ten in the ninth National Martial Arts Competition, earning great prestige.

However, he is now old, with diminished vitality, and moved to Jiangzhou Capital four years ago to enjoy his retirement.

The faces of the Five Elements Sect are Cao Zuoqiu and Qi Dongyuan, along with Zhao Yuan, a big disciple who had ambitions in the capital.

Cao Zuoqiu and Qi Dongyuan, who are currently in charge of Zanglong City, have arrived, and the more than ten people around them are all masters of cultivated Elixir Energy...

Apparently, they came for the person who had the audacity to sell the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect.

The reason they did not directly enter the black market was to give the black market owner some face.

"One with Elixir Energy, one with Holding Elixir."

Li Pin, following the tide of people, stopped.

At this moment, there was an uproar from the black market that could not be suppressed.

Then, the man who had previously sold the Five Elements Body Refining Technique walked out leisurely from inside.

The calm and composed look on his face showed no regard for the more than ten people from the Five Elements Sect.

This posture...

Selling the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, he clearly did it deliberately.

As the wind was not favorable, all the people in the black market began to leave, not daring to stick around.

Still, dozens of people stayed, unwilling to leave.

A battle of Elixir Energy!

It seemed to be a life-and-death battle, which was extremely rare in Zanglong City.

"Wang Daoyi."

Cao Zuoqiu stared at the man.

"Here we are."

The man named Wang Daoyi spoke indifferently: "How do you plan to die?"

"Fourteen years ago, my father saw through your sinister intentions, predicting that you would rebel in the future. Indeed...you stole our core inheritance, took all our valuable materials, and today, you even dare to show up openly on our territory!? Do you really think we can't kill you?" Cao Zuoqiu harshly said.

"I was the one in the front line, fighting and suffering. I was the one to bear the brunt and pay the penalty. But when it came to the end, you didn't even want to give me the core inheritance?"

Wang Daoyi sneered, put on a pair of special gloves, stretched out his hand, and rolled up his sleeves layer by layer: "Come, let me see to what extent you, the useless people who were highly regarded by that old guy, can practice the Five Elements Body Refining Technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved.

One man against twelve from the Five Elements Sect, not showing the slightest fear, he even took the initiative to attack.

The moment he moved, his aura was like a thunderbolt, like a tiger descending the mountain, and a terrifying fierce evil Qi came towards them.

Li Pin immediately confirmed.

Wang Daoyi had killed people before!

And not just one!
