Surrounding this batch of cold condensing pills that suddenly appeared, there were frequent storms in the market for a while, and the undercurrent was surging endlessly.
But no matter which force, before figuring out the true origin of this alchemist, they all tacitly instructed their disciples not to offend the person who came to sell elixir.
Most of the capable people had a very eccentric personality. If they annoyed the alchemy master who obviously didn't belong to anyone, it would be terrible.
As a force of Taiqing Gate, the Bai Lian Pavilion naturally received the news quickly.
On this day, on the third floor of the Bai Lian Pavilion, Shopkeeper Ye stood respectfully in front of Liu Ming. He was reporting something.
"Envoy Liu, do you know that a large number of cold condensing pills suddenly appeared in the market, and an alchemy master came here and hid quietly?"
"I haven't heard of this yet. I've been practicing behind closed doors these days. Did such a thing happen in the market?" Liu Ming raised his brows and said as if nothing had happened. There was a look of interest on his face.
"This matter has already spread in the market. It is said that there are hundreds of elixirs circulating. Many merchants are inquiring about the source of these elixirs. "Shopkeeper Ye was obviously very interested in this matter.
"As far as I know, the cold condensing pill is a kind of elixir that is extremely difficult to refine. How can there be so many of them at once? Is someone refining this elixir in large quantities?" Liu Ming touched his chin and said noncommittally.
"Many people also guessed so. Now it seems that there must be an amazing alchemy master in the Changyang Market." Shopkeeper Ye said with a wry smile.
"Shopkeeper Ye is also interested in this person?" Liu Ming took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
"This person is good at refining rare elixirs like the cold condensing pill. If we can recruit him into the Sect, we will naturally make a great contribution." Shopkeeper Ye said solemnly.
"Okay, then I will leave this matter to Mr. Ye." Liu Ming said calmly.
"Yes, I will try my best to find this alchemy master." Shopkeeper Ye said with joy when he heard this.
If he was the one who found it, he would have made a huge contribution.
Then the old man changed the topic and talked about other things in the Changyang Market.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Ye got up and left.
Liu Ming also put down the blue-and-white porcelain cup in his hand, and a faint, bitter smile appeared on his face.
Even though he had been very careful when he sold the pills twice, he still couldn't escape the eyes of those with ulterior motives.
With so many forces looking for him, going out to purchase alchemy materials was a bit risky.
As for the matter of alchemy, he could only wait until the limelight had passed.
In the following time, Liu Ming cultivated behind closed doors every day, and he luxuriously took a cold condensing pill every few days to slowly refine the medicine.
While his magic power was steadily improving, he also put on the agenda to find the blood essence of the ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle and upgrade the prototype of the Nine Skulls Shield magic treasure. These two major events were related to his future cultivation plan.
The essence blood of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle was extremely rare, and he could only try his luck. As for the materials needed to refine the last restriction of the Nine Skulls Shield, Liu Ming had already found most of them, and he still lacked three supplementary materials.
Filth yin liquid, demonic crow crystal, and spirit essence powder.
These three materials were not easy to find. Filth yin liquid and demonic crow crystal were rare yin attribute materials, and spirit essence powder was a very rare spiritual material.
Liu Ming took more than one million spirit stones from selling the cold condensing pill. In addition to cultivating, he began to search in the Changyang Market. Fortunately, he had almost visited the market a few days ago, so he was not clueless at this moment.
…
Changyang Market, in an alley near the southeast corner, there were many shops of different heights on both sides, which sold all kinds of items.
In a shop selling forging materials, Liu Ming walked out helplessly after talking with a shopkeeper in a yellow robe with an apologetic expression.
In the past few days, he had visited many shops.
What made him a little frustrated was that not only he had no clue about the blood essence of the ten-thousand-year-old spirit turtle, but he also couldn't find any of the three supplementary materials.
With his identity, if he asked the Bai Lian Pavilion to look for it, it would be much faster. However, in this way, it might also attract the attention of some people in the Sect. At that time, it would be troublesome.
Just as Liu Ming turned to walk to the next material shop, a male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Mister, please wait for a while."
Liu Ming stopped and turned around. He saw a man in a green shirt in his early thirties standing not far behind him, looking at Liu Ming with a smile on his face.
"I don't know who you are. Why do you stop me?" Liu Ming frowned. He faintly felt that the person in front of him was a bit familiar, so he asked in a cold voice.
"I'm Lu Yanping. I've been seeing mister looking for something for the past two days. I have lived in the market for many years. I believe I'm more familiar with the situation here than mister. I should be able to help you and save some time. "The man in green shirt smiled and didn't care about the indifference shown by Liu Ming.
"Mister is following me?" Liu Ming's face turned gloomy. A thought flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered.
He did encounter this man in green shirt by chance when he was looking for materials in the past two days, but they were just passing by. They didn't talk to each other, so he naturally didn't pay attention to him.
"Please forgive me, mister. I don't have any ulterior motives. I'm just a broker in this Changyang Market." The man in green shirt saw Liu Ming was a little annoyed, so he quickly waved his hand and explained.
"Broker?" When Liu Ming heard it, his face eased a little.
He looked up and down at the man in green shirt for a moment, but he didn't speak immediately. Instead, his mind turned sharply.
For these brokers, Liu Ming was no stranger. He was also a person who often visited the market. He knew that brokers were generally divided into two types, Bright Cuckold and Dark Cuckold.
Bright Cuckold was simply a middleman for some foreign cultivators to inquire about information, and he would receive some remuneration from it.
On the surface, Dark Cuckold did the same thing as Bright Cuckold. At the same time, they were also spies of some local forces, revealing the information of the people who hired them to others.
He didn't have much affection for these people before, and he had never cooperated with them. After all, they had a lot of secrets.
Although he didn't know what kind of broker this person was, he had been looking for materials for two days, and he hadn't found anything. If he continued to search, it would probably be a waste of time. If he cooperated with these people who were familiar with the market, he might be able to give it a try.
Seeing Liu Ming's expression, the man in green shirt secretly thought that there was a chance. He immediately waited patiently by the side.
"How long have you been in this market?" After thinking silently for a moment, Liu Ming asked calmly.
"Not too long, about ten years." The man in green shirt replied with a slight smile.
"How much is the fee?" Liu Ming nodded when he heard the words. With more than ten years of experience, this person should be quite familiar with the Changyang Market, so he asked,
"Hehe, it depends on what you are looking for. If you are not in a hurry, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk slowly." The man in green shirt suggested.
After a quarter of an hour, the two sat in a Fragrance House restaurant in the market, ordered two cups of tea, and chatted while drinking.
"Filth yin liquid, demonic crow crystal and spirit essence powder are indeed some rare materials. They are not easy to find." Lu Yanping listened to Liu Ming's request, put down the cup, bowed his head, and pondered.
"Mr. Lu, don't tell me you have no clue?" Since he had made up his mind to cooperate with this person, Liu Ming calmed down instead.
"The three materials you want, the first two are fine. Although they are rare, as far as I know, there should be stock in this Changyang Market. However, I'm not sure if I can find the 'spirit essence powder'. "Lu Yanping spread his hands and said with a smile.
"As for the fee, you can pay me two thousand spirit stones for each material I buy." Lu Yanping added after thinking about it.
Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, and he quickly nodded and agreed. Although the fee was not low, if he could find the materials smoothly, he would naturally not be stingy with a mere few thousand spirit stones.
"Deal, but I have to say that I have to wait until I get the materials before I can pay you." Liu Ming pointed at the table and said.
"Of course. In that case, I will take you to find filth yin liquid and demonic crow crystal first. There should be a shop that has these two things. "Lu Yanping said and stood up.
"I have one more thing to ask. If Mr. Lu can help me find the blood essence of the ten thousand years old spirit turtle, I am willing to pay double the reward." The man in green shirt just got up, and Liu Ming whispered.
This time, after thinking for a while, Lu Yanping did not answer immediately. After a while, he slowly replied,
"The blood essence of the ten thousand years old spirit turtle is not comparable to those materials. It is a real rare treasure. I can only inquire about it for you. Whether you can find it depends on your luck. "
"Very well, then I will count on you." Liu Ming naturally had no opinion on this.
The two then left the Piao Xiang House and mixed into the crowd on the street.
Liu Ming followed Lu Yanping for about 15 minutes, then he appeared in a dark alley.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly, but he still followed silently.
After the two walked for a while, Lu Yanping stopped at the door of an inconspicuous shop.
This small shop didn't even have a plaque. It was squeezed in the middle of several nearby shops. There was only a small door more than two feet wide. It was really shabby.
"The material that Liu wants to buy is not an ordinary thing. It can only be found here in the entire Changyang Market." The man in green shirt explained, then he took the lead to push open the half-closed door and strode in.
Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then he also stepped in.
As soon as he walked in, he glanced around and saw a few wooden shelves in the room. There were some ordinary materials for alchemy and forging casually placed on them.
A skinny old man with yellow hair and beard was sitting on the recliner behind the counter, closing his eyes to rest.
