After shopping for a whole day, Qian Ruping still looked like she had not had enough. After returning to the cave residence, she immediately held a large pile of books about totem formations and Demon Clan runes. She greeted Liu Ming and happily returned to her secret room.
Liu Ming, on the other hand, also returned to his own secret room. He closed the door and categorized the books he had purchased before sitting down cross-legged.
For some reason, his eyes fell on a book that contained information about the Celestial Fox Clan. He picked it up for some reason and began to read it carefully.
This book recorded in detail the origin of the Celestial Fox Clan and its current sphere of influence in the Wild Continent.
It was said that the Celestial Fox Clan originated from a wild divine beast called the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox in ancient times. The corresponding Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan naturally became the totem of the Celestial Fox Clan. The Celestial Fox Clan was especially good at illusion and charm.
Both men and women of the Celestial Fox Clan were beautiful. There were many women who were as beautiful as fairies. Naturally, they became the dual cultivation partners of other clans. However, because the Celestial Fox Clan was second only to the Blood Vine Clan in the Wild Continent, most of the cultivators of other clans could only dream about it.
Since the Celestial Fox Clan reached adulthood, they would be baptized by the clan in order to awaken the Celestial Fox bloodline in their bodies. According to the number of fox tails they could awaken, the purity of their bloodline was determined. This was also directly related to their future status and achievements in the clan.
The Wild Continent worshipped strength, and the Celestial Fox Clan was no exception.
Generally speaking, those who awakened less than three fox tails could only be classified as peripheral clans, helping to take care of some trifles in the clan. Only those who awakened more than four fox tails could be designated as core clans and enjoy a lot of offerings and cultivation resources. Those who awakened more than six fox tails could generally reach Jin Dan in the future and become the mainstay of the clan.
As for the previous clan leader, all of them had more than eight tails and had reached the Metaphysic Realm. However, such a clansman might not appear in ten thousand years.
When Liu Ming saw this, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Although he had learned about Yaoji's amazing talent from Lan Si, it was not until today that he learned about her in detail that he realized that this woman was of great significance to the entire Heavenly Fox Tribe.
Speaking of which, ever since he'd arrived at the Savage Continent by chance, he'd had the thought of meeting Yaoji on more than one occasion.
He could not be blamed. After all, Yaoji had a physical relationship with him. Her white teeth, starry eyes, and unparalleled beauty had left a deep impression in his heart that could not be erased.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted at all.
However, no matter how much Liu Ming thought about it, he could not think of what he should say to the other party. With such a contradictory state of mind, he was naturally unwilling to meet the other party rashly.
At this moment, after reading the information about the Heavenly Fox Clan, he faintly had some thoughts. Because the Heavenly Fox Clan's sphere of influence was located in the southeast of the Wasteland Continent, it was not too far away from the Blood Vine Clan. Their lair, Myriad Wave Temple, was from Luo City, and with the speed of the Daiyue Flying Ship, it would only take seven or eight months to arrive.
However, when he thought of the words that the woman had said before she left, he smiled bitterly and suppressed this thought.
After some consideration, Liu Ming finally decided to stay in Luo City and try to improve his cultivation and strength. Then, he would think about meeting the other party.
In addition, the urgent matter was how to collect the sky-high cost of the giant ship in the next hundred years.
After making up his mind, he put down the ancient book that recorded the information about the Heavenly Fox Clan, and began to read other ancient books.
He rummaged for a while in the pile of books, and took out a palm-sized Cyan Jade Slips. This was a detailed map of a million miles around Luo City, which he had spent a lot of effort to find.
Liu Ming's face revealed a dignified expression. He put this huge Jade Slips on his forehead, and used his Divine Sense to explore it. A huge and clear map appeared in his mind.
His Divine Sense quickly swept through the names on the map. After a quarter of an hour, his face was filled with joy.
"I found it. It's really near Luo City. That person didn't lie to me." Liu Ming murmured excitedly. His Divine Sense locked on a small island called "Skeleton Island" that was more than 100,000 miles away from Luo City on the map.
"It'll be much easier if I find the place, but I don't have time to go there now. I'll go to Skeleton Island to have a look when the matter at hand is over. I hope that what that person said is true …" Liu Ming took off the Jade Slips and muttered to himself.
…
In the next month or so, Liu Ming frequently began to go in and out of all the shops that sold ancient books in Luo City. He also selectively looked for information about the refining of elixirs by the various clans of the Wild Continent, as well as the distribution of various materials.
After bringing back to the cave residence, he would quickly sweep through the contents of these ancient books at an astonishing speed, as if he was looking for something.
After some careful consideration, Liu Ming had basically decided on the next step of the plan.
He was now an alchemy master. If he wanted to make money quickly in this unfamiliar wild continent, the only way was to refine elixirs.
In Yunchuan Continent and Middle Sky Continent, alchemy was a scarce profession. Some Sect would even spend the power of the Sect to cultivate alchemy in order to improve the strength of their disciples.
In this wild continent, alchemy was even more scarce to an unimaginable extent. Even the most common restoration and healing elixir was at least 10 times more expensive than the Middle Sky Continent, and it was often priceless.
If it was an elixir that improved spiritual power, enhanced physique, or helped to break through bottlenecks, it was even more rare.
Most of these elixirs flowed from the hands of the 8 wild clans. A small part was produced by some medium-sized tribes, but in terms of quantity, the restrictions were extremely strict.
But on the contrary, the herbs and fruits used to make these elixirs were relatively easy to get.
In view of this situation, most Beastkin Clan cultivators could only choose to take herbs and fruits directly. Due to the special physique of Beastkin Clan, their absorption of medicinal properties was also much stronger than that of humans.
In this way, the 4 elixirs that he was good at, such as cold condensing pill, golden yuan pill, yun spirit pill, and diamond bone tempering pill, should be able to meet the needs of many Beastkin Clan cultivators. After all, the effect of the elixir after removing impurities would be far better than directly consuming spiritual materials.
According to the news that he spent a lot of spirit stones to collect, the main materials of cold condensing pill and yun spirit pill had been found. There was an island in the southeast sea of the wild continent that was rich in green condensing fruit, and there was a place called Beehive Mountain where a large number of five light bee beastkin lived. There would often be a lot of high-quality five light honey produced.
As for the other materials of these 2 elixirs, it would not be too difficult to collect them.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered and soon lit up slowly.
…
Luo City East District, this was a bustling trading area in the entire Luo City.
Linhai Avenue was the most crowded street in the East District. The road was nearly twice as wide as other places. On both sides of the street were spacious, bright, and magnificent large shops.
Many cultivators were walking in and out of the shops. It was a very lively scene.
In the stream of people, Liu Ming, who was dressed in a green robe, strolled to the front of a large trading company that was more than a hundred feet wide. From afar, the trading company looked like a blue towering tree with lush foliage. At the root of the tree, there was a wide horizontal board hanging on the door. On it were the four Beastkin Clan characters "Blue Wood Trading Company" written in gold paint.
To be able to open a shop on Linhai Avenue, there was naturally a lot of force behind it. Blue Wood Business was no exception.
In Luo City, as long as one had a little knowledge, he would know that Blue Wood Business was a shop opened by the Blue Wood Clan.
The Blue Wood Clan had developed rapidly in the past few decades. It was rumored that they had some connections with the Blood Vine Clan. Therefore, in Luo City, no one dared to underestimate Blue Wood Business.
Liu Ming raised his head and looked at the signboard of the Blue Wood Trading Company before walking in.
The interior of Blue Wood Business was exquisitely decorated. The doors and windows were clean, giving off a very grand feeling. The business was very large and there were many counters. The items on display were all different. There were pills, talismans, spirit weapons, and materials.
But in general, Blue Wood Business mainly sold various spirit grasses and spirit materials. Many cultivators walked around the business and browsed.
As soon as Liu Ming walked into the business, an attendant wearing a short blue shirt came to greet him.
"Senior, what do you need to buy? Our shop sells all kinds of spirit materials and spirit treasures from all over the Wasteland Continent. Many of the items are unique to this shop. I guarantee that you will return satisfied. " The blue-clothed attendant seemed to have good eyesight and could see that Liu Ming's cultivation was not low. He spoke in a respectful tone.
Liu Ming waved his hand and took out a blue token with the word "Wood" on it.
"Forgive me for my poor eyesight. So Senior is a distinguished guest of this business. Please follow me." When the attendant saw the blue token, he was a little surprised. He glanced at Liu Ming and immediately led him to a staircase to the second floor of the trading firm. They came to a private room.
The attendant bowed to Liu Ming and said, "Senior, please wait here for a moment. This lowly one will go invite the steward." The attendant bowed to Liu Ming and immediately retreated.
Liu Ming played with the token in his hand with a calm expression.
Not long after, a maidservant of the Blue Wood Clan came in with a cup of green spirit tea. Two pink flower petals floated on top of the tea, and a refreshing fragrance immediately wafted through the air.
Liu Ming picked up the cup and took a sip. A refreshing taste spread through his mouth. Although it was slightly inferior to the one he drank in Lan Si Che, it should still be a rare good.
A blue-robed middle-aged man walked in from outside and said with a smile, "Haha, I wonder what Senior's name is? I am Lan Xin, the second-in-command of this place. I hope Senior won't blame me for not coming out to greet you."
"You are too polite, I am Liu Ming." Liu Ming glanced at the middle-aged man faintly. The other party was just a cultivator of the intermediate stage of the Crystallization Period, so he nodded slightly.
