"Sect Leader Zuo is too polite. Although our sect has some power in the area of the three lakes in the northern region, we still need Sect Leader Zuo to take care of us in the Copper Sun Mountain Range area." The man in green shirt took the token and smiled slightly, but the muscles on his face were stiff. The smile looked more like a twitch.
"Haha, Mr. Ye must be joking. Since my Treasure Gathering Tower is open to welcome guests, I will naturally try my best to help if you have any request. But listening to what you just said, it seems that you have seen me before? "Zuo Gongquan didn't take it seriously and asked.
"It's my first time here. However, a friend of mine with the surname Wu came to the Copper Sun Mountain Range to look for a strange herb five years ago. He was acquainted with Sect Leader Zuo once." The green-clothed man's expression was old-fashioned as he spoke in an ambiguous manner.
Zuo Gongquan was startled when he heard the words. He had been walking in the Copper Sun Mountain Range for many years, and he had seen countless cultivators. How could he remember a cultivator surnamed Wu for a while?
"It seems that Sect Leader Zuo is forgetful. My friend once formed a hunting group with Sect Leader Zuo. There was also a friend surnamed Fan who was said to be an alchemy master." Seeing this, the man in green shirt reminded again.
"It turns out to be that time. I've been busy dealing with the affairs of the sect recently, so my mind is a little muddled. Please don't blame me, Mr. Ye." Zuo Gongquan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said calmly.
The man in green shirt smiled and said nothing.
"Then, I wonder what Mr. Ye needs my help with this time?" Zuo Gongquan asked again.
"My cultivation has reached a bottleneck recently, so I want to buy some upper grade red yuan pill. Ten will do." The man in green shirt said faintly.
"Red yuan pill! This is an upper grade elixir in the demonic path. It is extremely rare to get even one. Mr. wants ten at once, this is really a little difficult for me … "
Zuo Gongquan took a light breath, then he smiled bitterly.
"As far as I know, there is a kind of Crystallization Period beastkin, Fire Toad Ant, in the depths of the Copper Sun Mountain Range. The beastkin pill of this beast is the main material to refine the Red Yuan Pill. With such good innate conditions, could it be that no one in the Copper Sun Market can refine the Red Yuan Pill?" The man in green clothes said strangely.
Zuo Gongquan shook his head and said, "You must be joking, Daoist Ye. Why would a Great Alchemist who can refine the Red Yuan Pill come to a small place like ours? As for the Fire Toad Ant Demon Pills from the Copper Sun Mountain Range, most of them are sold to larger Chambers of Commerce or Sect. Very few people would keep them for themselves."
"I didn't expect such a situation. However, my friend said that the cultivator surnamed Fan in the hunting group seemed to be quite skilled in alchemy. He should be able to refine this pill. Sect Master Zuo was the main recruiter of the hunting group. Is there no way to contact him? As for the price, it will naturally be easy to negotiate. "The azure-robed man spread his hands.
"Is Fellow Ye talking about a cultivator with a face full of scars?" Zuo Gongquan asked.
"Yes, it is this person. I wonder if Fellow Zuo can contact this Fellow Fan and ask him to help refine the Red Yuan Pill. As for the materials, I have already prepared a lot of them. I will definitely thank you after this! "The azure-robed man cupped his hands and looked at Zuo Gongquan with a burning gaze.
Zuo Gongquan frowned and said, "Fellow Ye may have misunderstood. I and Fellow Fan are actually just acquaintances. We just traveled together for a period of time."
"Is that so? That's a pity. I thought I could make friends with an alchemy master. "The azure-robed man frowned slightly and showed a disappointed look on his face. He sighed softly.
This green-robed man was Liu Ming in disguise. After leaving the Jackdaw Sect, he'd spent more than half a month traveling day and night to get to the Copper Sun Mountain Range. After some investigation, he'd purposely made contact with Zuo Gongquan, which led to today's conversation.
Zuo Gongquan was a mid Jin Dan cultivator and a sect master. Naturally, he couldn't directly capture him like he had with the Jackdaw Sect's old man and interrogate him slowly. That was why he had used this roundabout method to find out the whereabouts of the Thousand Illusions Ogre.
But now, it seemed that the outcome wasn't good.
In the end, just as Liu Ming was thinking about using other methods to find out more about the Thousand Illusions Ogre, Zuo Gongquan's voice sounded out again.
"Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't need to be disappointed. Although I don't have a deep relationship with Fellow Daoist Fan, I happened to run into him a year ago in the nearby Nanlu City. He seems to be living there temporarily. I've met Fellow Daoist Fan several times and can reluctantly introduce you to him. However, I can't guarantee that he'll be able to refine pills for you. "Zuo Gongquan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said," Is that so?
Then I'll leave it to you, Fellow Daoist Zuo. When can we leave? "
Liu Ming was surprised at first, then overjoyed.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please wait here for a moment. I'll go take care of some trivial matters in the shop. How about we leave in half a day?" Zuo Gongquan stood up.
Liu Ming also stood up and cupped his hands in thanks. "Alright. Fellow Daoist, please go ahead. I just happen to be heading to the market to buy a few things."
A short moment later, Liu Ming walked out of the shop.
Zuo Gongquan was at the window upstairs, watching the back of Liu Ming who was gradually disappearing on the street. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
Liu Ming walked out of the Treasure Trove Pavilion, looked around a few times, and walked toward the end of the market without looking back.
The Copper Sun Market was no different from an ordinary small market. There were various shops of different heights on both sides of the street.
This place was near the Copper Sun Mountain Range. As the saying goes, rely on the mountain to survive. Therefore, most of these shops were selling beastkins, ores, etc.
In addition to Liu Ming on the street, there were also many cultivators going in and out of the shops on both sides. They were buying and selling what they wanted with different expressions.
Most of them were Condensation Period cultivators, and occasionally Crystallization Period cultivators would appear. They hadn't seen any Jin Dan State cultivators.
Liu Ming had long hidden his breath through the mystic arts of Che Huan Totem, so he didn't attract too much attention. He followed the sparse flow of people and strolled slowly among the shops.
He looked fine on the surface, but his heart was already rolling endlessly.
This time, he didn't expect that he could really find the whereabouts of the "Thousand Illusionary Man" from Zuo Gongquan.
Regardless of whether this was accidental or Zuo Gongquan had other intentions, this trip to the Copper Sun Market was finally fruitful.
Liu Ming thought so, exhaled softly, and walked into a seemingly dilapidated grocery shop.
There was only one shop in the shop, and there was only a crooked plaque on the door. There were two old wooden shelves inside. There were some beastkin materials, ores, spiritual materials and so on on the shelves.
Liu Ming glanced at them. They were all low-grade spiritual grass, ores, and the beastkin materials were old goods from a long time ago. There was a lot of dust on them.
However, he didn't really want to buy anything. He just wanted to wander around, so there was no need to care.
"Senior, what do you need?" Seeing Liu Ming walking in, a skinny old man with messy hair hurried to greet him.
Liu Ming glanced at him. The skinny old man was just a Spirit Apostle Stage cultivator. He looked old. In this market, he was one of the people with the lowest cultivation.
"I'm just looking around. You don't have to greet me." Liu Ming nodded and said faintly.
"Okay, senior, you can take your time. Although the small shop is small, there are still a lot of good things." The skinny old man couldn't see through Liu Ming's cultivation. He smiled twice and retreated to the side.
Liu Ming also ignored him. He looked casually on a few shelves, but he was thinking about the South Lu City that Zuo Gongquan said.
"Huh!" He stopped in front of a shelf, and his eyes fell on a black carapace the size of a washbasin.
The carapace seemed to be the shell of some kind of tortoiseshell monster. On the black carapace, there were some small and dense square patterns. It looked quite mysterious.
"This is?" Liu Ming's laziness had disappeared. He couldn't help but take the tortoiseshell in his hand and carefully look at it.
The tortoiseshell emitted a very faint Fa Li fluctuation. It looked like the spirit power had dissipated. However, Liu Ming's eyes gradually brightened.
On the edge of the black carapace, there was a faint green color. His finger scratched the broken part of the carapace. There was a faint slippery feeling in the dry touch.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed and the strange expression on his face disappeared.
"How much is this tortoiseshell?"
"This senior is really insightful. This is the carapace of the Condensation Period Tortoiseshell. It is a genuine intermediate grade beastkin material. It is also an excellent material for forging intermediate grade defensive spiritual weapon." The skinny old man glanced at the tortoiseshell in Liu Ming's hand and made an exaggerated voice.
"Tortoiseshell … Regardless of whether what you said is true or false, this thing has been here for at least 20 years." Liu Ming raised his brows, showing a spurious expression.
"Senior is joking. My shop has always been reputable in this Copper Sun Market. I never sell fake goods. This tortoiseshell was indeed purchased by me from a Condensation Period cultivator, but the time is indeed as you said. It has been 10 or 20 years." The skinny old man was stunned when he heard the words, and he forced a smile.
"Okay, I want this thing. How many spirit stones do you want?" Liu Ming smiled slightly and asked.
The skinny old man breathed a sigh of relief. There was a hint of joy in his eyes. He hesitated for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand spirit stones. I spent 4,500 spirit stones to purchase this thing. After so many years, I have to earn some money."
Liu Ming sighed in a low voice. He took out fifty intermediate grade spirit stones and threw them to the skinny old man. He kept the tortoiseshell and walked out of the shop.
"Thank you senior, take care." The skinny old man smiled and kept the spirit stones, watching Liu Ming leave.
After Liu Ming walked for a hundred meters, he looked back at the shabby shop again. He immediately sneered and strode away.
That tortoiseshell was not the shell of the tortoiseshell. It was clearly the shell of the Jin Dan State beastkin, Luwu Tortoiseshell, but the layer of black substance on it concealed its spiritual power fluctuations.
In his view, this tortoiseshell should be the shell of a certain Jin Dan intermediate stage Luwu Tortoiseshell. Such a large piece would cost at least 30 million spirit stones.
Liu Ming was excited. With this piece of Luwu Tortoiseshell, he could refine at least forty to fifty Vajra Bone Tempering Pill.
