"Nonsense."
"You are all Du Clan's disciples, yet you dare to cause trouble."
A few of the Du Family elders stood up and left the hall after saying a few inexplicable words, no longer paying any attention to Du Hao and the others.
"Stop fooling around. Disperse."
Du Zhenwu stood up, shook his sleeves, and left with the Du Clan elders.
Du Hao, Du Chong, Du Yan, and the other gossipy women were stunned in the hall, not knowing what to say. This result was completely different from what they had imagined. They originally thought that even if they couldn't punish Du Shaofu, they could at least get back the Violent Stone Demon Wolf's blood essence and Foundation Establishment Pill. This was their true goal. Who knew that not only did they not get anything, they even lost face.
After Du Shaofu left the Du Clan's hall, it was already noon. After returning to the courtyard, Du Shaofu placed the Ink Spirit Sword into his Qiankun Bag and went directly to the Martial Scripture Tower.
Outside the Martial Scripture Tower, Fu Yibai was leisurely leaning back on a rattan chair. In front of him, a Du Clan youth was respectfully cleaning the place.
After Du Shaofu greeted Fu Yibai, he directly entered the Martial Scripture Tower, causing the youth to be envious.
This time, Du Shaofu didn't go to the Martial Scripture Tower to look for martial skills to cultivate. Instead, he wanted to find some things related to Spirit Talisman Masters to understand so that he wouldn't be cheated by that swindler, Zhen Qingchun. The more he understood, the less chance he would be cheated.
Unfortunately, there were no records of Spirit Talisman Masters in the Martial Scripture Tower that Du Shaofu wanted. However, he did find some simple introductions.
Spirit Talisman Master was a profession with a higher status than Martial Artists. Among ordinary people, there were very few who could become Martial Artists, and even fewer could become Spirit Talisman Masters. The prerequisites to becoming a Spirit Talisman Master were too harsh, and not many people could meet those harsh requirements.
At the same time, Talisman Master was not a single profession. The three words Talisman Master included too many things, such as alchemy, refining weapons, and setting up formations. These were all things that Talisman Masters had to dabble in. It was said that it was impossible to have an all-rounded Talisman Master.
After exchanging a few words with Fu Yibai and leaving the Martial Repository, Du Shaofu didn't return to the courtyard but went to the back mountain instead.
"Interesting. This is getting more and more interesting."
Looking at Du Shaofu's back, a trace of a smile appeared on Fu Yibai's face. Then, he closed his eyes and said to the youth in charge of cleaning, "Clean up seriously for me. Sweep the floor for me as well."
In the back mountain of the Du Family, Du Shaofu fished out his Qiankun Pouch. He took out some spirit herbs that he had plundered and directly stuffed them into his mouth. If a Spirit Talisman Master saw Du Shaofu directly swallowing spirit herbs, he would be heartbroken.
Directly swallowing spirit herbs without extracting the impurities contained within would cause the essence of the spirit herbs to not reach its optimal state. For a Spirit Talisman Master who was proficient in alchemy, it was naturally a waste of spirit herbs.
However, Du Shaofu did not care about this. For someone who practiced the cultivation method of the Golden Winged Roc, the energy contained within the spirit herbs would remain in the body after consuming them. With the masochistic Body Refinement Method, it was equivalent to a Spirit Talisman Master refining spirit herbs. The effect was not inferior to a Spirit Talisman Master refining spirit herbs.
"Rumble …"
A moment later, rumbling noises came from the depths of the Du Family's back mountain. The startled birds flapped their wings and flew far away, while the wild beasts either hid or fled.
Du Shaofu wore a pair of shorts and his body was wrapped in a pale golden light as he smashed into the cliff in a masochistic manner.
Not far away, the King Scaled Demonic Tiger, the size of a wild cat, stared intently at the talisman patterns overflowing from the pale golden light around Du Shaofu's body. It stared intently as if it was trying to comprehend something.
This continued all the way until nightfall, when the rumbling noises gradually subsided.
The elixirs in Du Shaofu's body were almost completely absorbed. He put on his clothes, and then sat cross-legged in the back of the mountain. He began to cultivate, and completely refined the remaining elixirs in his body. Of course, the benefits brought by these elixirs were far from being comparable to the Blood Infant Spirit Mushroom.
"Huff!"
Early in the morning, Du Shaofu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in the back mountain. His eyes opened and two drops of dew hung on his long eyelashes. His eyes were suffused with a pale golden glow. The redness and swelling on his body from yesterday's collision had completely recovered, causing his body to become even more sturdy and tall.
"I should go and purchase the list today."
Du Shaofu softly muttered. The list given to him by Zhen Qingchun needed to be completed as soon as possible.
In the bustling Stone City, the streets were bustling with people shuttling back and forth. From time to time, the clamor of hawking could be heard.
Du Shaofu walked in the Stone City and looked around with interest. Along the way, he leisurely strolled and even bought a few suitable clothes and a few purple robes. In the end, he even bought a good wine jug.
Textile City was the most prosperous place in the entire Stone City. The Feng Family, Qin Family, Ye Family, and Bai Family also had many shops in Textile City.
There were many shops in Textile City with a dazzling array of goods. Among them, there were many shops that sold martial arts items such as spirit herbs, martial skills, weapons, and so on. Therefore, Textile City was also the place where martial arts practitioners gathered the most.
Martial arts practitioners had a unique status in this world. In this world, the strong were respected and strength was paramount. Martial arts practitioners who were much stronger than ordinary people were naturally respected.
However, not everyone could become a martial arts practitioner. The difficulty was beyond the belief of ordinary people. Moreover, to become a martial arts practitioner, it was not something that could be achieved through pure effort.
Du Shaofu wanted to buy the things on Zhen Qingchun's list. Most of the items on the list were spirit herbs. Although he had plundered some spirit herbs from Shouhu's body, it was far from enough. The variety was also not complete. Not to mention, practicing the Body Refining Technique required a lot of spirit herbs.
Therefore, Du Shaofu estimated that the things on the list would be expensive. Unless he sold some of the good things in the two Qiankun bags, he would certainly not be able to afford them.
The Du Family had shops that specialized in selling spirit herbs, weapons, martial skills, and elixirs. Of course, the level of martial skills and elixirs were not high.
Other families also had similar shops in Textile City, but they also did not have good things. They could only meet the needs of the Stone City. Although the Stone City was a city, it was after all a border area. There was no way to have good things.
Du Family's shop, Du Family's shop. Du Shaofu walked into the Du Family's shop.
"Greetings to Young Master Shaofu."
Inside the Du Family's shop, there were two tall and sturdy men dressed in tight clothes. When they saw Du Shaofu, they were stunned. It was obvious that they were quite surprised. Then, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Du Shaofu nodded, indicating that the two men did not need to be overly courteous. He took out a large bag and a list that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to the two men. He said, "Give these things to your shopkeeper and calculate how much they are worth. In addition, I want to buy some things." Since he wanted to buy things and spirit herbs, he would not let the fertile water flow to his own fields. The quantity was relatively large. Du Shaofu naturally chose his own shop first.
The two burly men took the bundle and list and immediately went to look for the head shopkeeper. Du Shaofu, on the other hand, was slowly sizing up the interior of the shop. Other than the few times he visited this shop when he was young, this was his first time here.
Not long after, the shopkeeper personally ran out.
"Shaofu, why are you here?"
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was thin and not very tall, but his eyes were bright. One look and one could tell that he was an extremely shrewd person.
Du Shaofu recognized this middle-aged man. His name was Du Ping, a member of the main branch of the Du Family. It was said that his martial talent was not high, so he was in charge of the Du Family's shop. One must know that in this world where martial arts were respected, if one's martial talent was not high, even if he was in charge of the Du Family's shop, his position in the Du Family was not high. Therefore, he usually did not return to the Du Family. He would only return during festivals.
"Uncle Ping, does the shop have the things I want?"
Du Shaofu had a lot of respect for Du Ping. He remembered that when he was young, this Uncle Ping would bring back a lot of candies for the younger generation every time he went back. Of course, Du Shaofu would get his share as well, even more than the others.
"There is, but the things you want are not few. Some of them are items that are rarely used. I need some time to prepare them. When I'm done, I'll help you send them back. How about it?"
Du Ping looked at Du Shaofu with a puzzled expression. He had naturally heard about the things that happened in the family in the past two months. Now, the things that Du Shaofu wanted were things that only Soul Symbol Masters could use. Moreover, the things that Du Shaofu had just sent over were not ordinary and were worth a lot. It seemed that the rumors in the family were true. The youth in front of him was only pretending to be a fool for the past ten years.
Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright."
"I've made a rough calculation. The things you sent over are not cheap. They are worth a total of twenty one thousand Cultivation Coins. This is also the highest price in the market. However, I'll give you the things you want at cost price. It will cost fifteen thousand Cultivation Coins. The remaining six thousand Cultivation Coins are all in here. "
Du Ping handed over an extremely exquisite card to Du Shaofu. There were runes engraved on it. He said: "This is a Cultivation Coin Card. It can be exchanged at many places."
"Thank you, Uncle Ping."
Du Shaofu did not act polite. His family's shop naturally would not cheat him. If it was not for the fact that it was his family's shop, he was afraid that the things he sold would not be able to cover the price of the things he bought. One must know that the profits from selling elixirs were enormous.
"When we return, let me greet your father." Du Ping said with a smile.
"I will." Du Shaofu nodded. He put away the Cultivation Coin Card and left the Du Family's shop.
