The heatwave was like a flood that quickly stirred up the spirit power in Lin Xuan's body. In addition, Lin Xuan circulated the Longevity Art over and over again, causing the green spirit power in his body to grow stronger.
Under the guidance of the Longevity Art, the green spirit power quickly broke through the fourth spirit meridian and formed a fourth cycle in Lin Xuan's body.
Feeling the surge of spirit power, Lin Xuan's lips curled up slightly. He originally needed four or five days to break through the bottleneck, but with the help of the spirit wine, he had broken through.
"My current strength has at least doubled compared to the third stage of the Meridian Condensation Period. No wonder it's said that martial arts cultivation is like climbing a ladder. One stage can crush another." Lin Xuan punched out, creating a huge crater in the mountain wall. Cracks spread out like a spider web.
"As expected, I still can't control my strength accurately." Lin Xuan knew that if he could control his strength well, he would be able to concentrate all his strength on a single point. That way, he would be able to directly penetrate the mountain wall, unlike now where his strength was scattered and could only shatter the mountain rocks.
However, he wasn't discouraged. As long as he learned the Thunderclap Sword Technique, he would be able to control his strength accurately. That way, his strength would increase again.
However, if he wanted Lord Alcohol to teach him the sword technique, he would need to find a spirit fruit. Lin Xuan didn't dare to think about thousand-year-old spirit fruits, but hundred-year-old spirit fruits could be obtained as long as he paid the price.
"What a waste of a good pot of wine." Lin Xuan sighed.
"Eh, why do I have to imitate that drunkard's words?" Lin Xuan shuddered. "Looks like I'll be led astray by him in the future!"
He opened his backpack and took out a few white porcelain bottles. Then, he poured the remaining spirit wine in the gourd into these white porcelain bottles. He poured half a mouthful into each of the three white porcelain bottles, then carefully sealed the bottle caps.
Lin Xuan put away the purple gourd, then took the white porcelain bottles and a backpack full of beast materials to the nearest city.
Leyang City was a nearby city. It was close to the Taihang Mountains and not far from the Black Heaven Sect. Many Black Heaven Sect disciples came here to buy things.
Because it was close to the mountains, there were many mercenary groups that entered the forest for the first time. In addition, the disciples of the Black Heaven Sect often visited Leyang City, causing the trade in Leyang City to flourish.
Among them, the most famous ones were the First Floor, Second Lane, and Third Treasure Street.
The first floor was referring to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. This Ten Thousand Treasures Tower could be said to be the largest trading house within Leyang City. There were only rare treasures that you could not imagine, but there was nothing that you could not buy.
Of course, the premise was that you had to have enough money. If you weren't from a rich family, it was better not to go. Otherwise, just the price alone was enough to scare people to death!
The second market had two markets, the Heavenly Fragrance Market and the Cheng Ye Market.
Although it was not as famous as the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, it was also considered a first-class exchange. The goods inside were not only comprehensive, but the price was also cheaper than the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. However, it was also not something that ordinary people could afford.
As for the Three Treasures Street, it was a commercial street. The things sold were naturally related to martial artists. However, the things inside were very complicated. It could be said that they were passing off fish eyes as pearls. Often, people would buy fake goods, but there were also people who found treasures.
Therefore, it could be said that this was a place where heaven and hell coexisted. As long as you had enough luck, you might be able to find a heaven-defying treasure.
After Lin Xuan arrived at Leyang City, he bought a loose black robe with a cloak and covered his entire body within the black robe. When going out, it was not good to be careless.
He did not have the money to go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. Just the entrance fee was 30 low-grade spirit stones. Hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes turned red. As for the commercial street, he planned to stroll around when he had the money. As for selling things, forget about it.
Therefore, he went straight to the Heavenly Fragrance Market of the Second Lane.
The Heavenly Fragrance Market was located in the south of Leyang City and occupied a very large area. The boss behind the Heavenly Fragrance Market was a great beauty. Moreover, she had a group of beautiful ladies under her. These ladies often came to the Heavenly Fragrance Market to do business. Many martial artists came because of its reputation.
Lin Xuan stood at the entrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Market. Looking at the tide of people, he took a deep breath and then strode in.
There were many people like Lin Xuan who wore black robes. Therefore, he was not conspicuous in the crowd. Touching the three small bottles in his arms, he followed the flow of people and walked forward.
The inside was divided into many areas, which led the flow of people very well. Lin Xuan was looking for the whereabouts of the spirit fruits while thinking about how much he should sell these spirit wines. Things like these that could stimulate spirit energy, if not for his lack of money, he would not sell them even if he was beaten to death.
Weapon Area, Elixir Area, Armor Area, Herb Area …
Lin Xuan looked through them one by one and found quite a few good things. However, the prices only made him chuckle before he turned around and left.
Finally, he came to the Herb Area. There were shops and stalls here. Lin Xuan looked at each stall. Some of the stall owners were very friendly and chatted with him. Some of them were very cold and just sat there quietly.
After asking around, there were indeed no thousand year spirit fruits. There were a few hundred year spirit fruits, but the price was too expensive. Moreover, they did not accept bartering.
Lin Xuan could only give up and decided to enter the shop to take a look.
"Hey!" Just as Lin Xuan was about to enter the shop, a figure pulled him back.
"I've been watching you for a long time. Do you need a hundred year spirit fruit?" It was a fat middle-aged man. His triangular eyes were squeezed into a line by the fat on his face.
He grinned and said, "I have some here. Do you want to take a look?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the fat middle-aged man with a faint smile. Then, he said, "Take it out and let me take a look."
As he got the fat man to take the goods, he called for Lord Alcohol inwardly.
Indeed, when Lord Alcohol heard that he was going to identify the spirit fruit, he immediately perked up. At that moment, the fat middle-aged man took out an orange fruit. He shook the spirit fruit and said, "A genuine hundred year Flame Fruit. It only costs 500 Spirit Stones!"
A typical stall's spirit fruit was priced between 800 Spirit Stones to 1,000 Spirit Stones. The fat middle-aged man was selling it for 500 Spirit Stones, so it was indeed cheap.
However, Lord Alcohol took a glance and determined that it wasn't a hundred year spirit fruit. It wasn't even ten years old. The fat man was purely a swindler.
After learning the truth, Lin Xuan sneered and turned to leave. He didn't have the time to waste with the fat man. To his surprise, the fat man grabbed him.
Lin Xuan was infuriated. He never expected a seller of fake goods to be so arrogant. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, he never expected the fat middle-aged man to speak first.
"Men! You're robbing me in broad daylight!"
Lin Xuan was taken aback. He never expected the fat man to frame him. Before he could react, the crowd had already surrounded him.
The fat middle-aged man continued shouting, "You wanted to buy a hundred year spirit fruit. I sold it to you out of goodwill, but you actually snatched it. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
The crowd began to discuss among themselves. Many of them were criticizing Lin Xuan.
"Make way! Make way! Who dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Fragrance Market?" The Heavenly Fragrance Market's guards rushed over from afar.
