"Senior Brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but if you want to use this Monster Spirit Dan to exchange for the Stone Essence Powder, it's a bit too much. The Stone Essence Powder is a must for refining the Rank Breaking Dan and is tightly controlled by the Dao Sect. If you want to obtain it, you either have to buy it with your family's wealth or obtain the Dao Sect's edict. If you want to exchange for it in the Ghost City, I'm afraid it won't be easy … …"
"Hehe, I came to the Ghost City to try my luck. If I can exchange for it, then I'll exchange for it. If I can't, then so be it. At worst, I'll use my connections to get someone to bring me to the Ghost City to try my luck. Moreover, this Monster Spirit Dan is a good item for cultivation. Its effect is many times better than spirit stones. Even if I keep it in my hands, it won't be a loss!"
Hou Qing's tone was very tough. It seemed like he wouldn't exchange for anything other than the Stone Essence Powder.
"So what if you get the Stone Essence Powder? The only use of the Stone Essence Powder is to refine the Rank Breaking Dan. However, other than the Stone Essence Powder, there are still dozens of other ingredients. Moreover, even if you get all the ingredients, without a Pill Master to help you, you still won't be able to refine it … … "The disciple who wanted to exchange for the Monster Spirit Dan was still a bit reluctant and wanted to persuade Hou Qing.
"Senior Brother doesn't need to worry about this. Aside from the Stone Essence Powder, the other ingredients are easier to buy!"
Hou Qing lightly smiled and said, "As for the Pill Master, I have someone I know, there's no need for Senior Brother to worry!"
"Ai, since it's like this, then do as you wish!"
The man sighed. Seeing that Hou Qing wasn't going to budge, he could only get up and leave.
"There's a rumor in the outer sect that Hou Qing's cultivation has already reached the peak of the 3rd layer of spirit formation and is only one step away from breaking through. It seems like the rumor is true. That Stone Essence Powder is a material for refining the Rank Breaking Dan and is also one of the most strictly controlled resources in the Dao Sect. If he wants to break through, he must pay a high price or complete a task for the Dao Sect. Looking at his appearance, it seems like he wants to refine it himself … …"
Fang Xing heard the conversation between the two and immediately understood Hou Qing's meaning.
The Stone Essence Powder was a special method used by the Dao Sect to refine the essence of spirit stones. It was a good material for alchemy, especially when used to refine level-breaking pills.
In the early stages of a cultivator's cultivation, from the 3rd layer to the 4th layer, the 6th layer to the 7th layer, and finally the 9th layer to the True Spirit Realm, it was extremely difficult. The only way was to consume a Rank Breaking Pellet. However, the resources needed to refine the Rank Breaking Pellet were strictly controlled by the Dao Sect. If one wanted to obtain it, they would need to spend a large amount of money to purchase it or complete a task for the Dao Sect to obtain the reward.
This method was also a method used by the Dao Sects and the various aristocratic families to control the fate of the cultivators in the world.
The Dao Sect turns a blind eye to the Ghost City, but they will never leak the Stone Essence powder, which affects the fate of cultivators.
It could be said that if the Stone Essence Powder appeared in the Ghost City, then it would be time for the Ghost City to close its doors.
Hou Qing was obviously unwilling to give up. He actually took out a Demon Spirit Pill, wanting to trade for it in the Ghost City.
However, he was destined to return empty-handed. Something like the Stone Essence Powder was destined to be difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
Fang Xing saw that in less than half an hour, four to five people came over. All of them had their eyes on the Demon Spirit Pill and took out various items to trade. There were a few items that Fang Xing coveted, but Hou Qing was determined to not trade for the Stone Essence Powder. In the end, he could only give up. Seeing that Hou Qing didn't have any hope and was about to leave, Fang Xing stood up.
"Let's first test the Demon Spirit Pill!"
Fang Xing walked over and purposely lowered his voice.
Hou Qing's eyes flashed. He looked at Fang Xing and said, "The Stone Essence Powder in senior brother's hands?"
Fang Xing deliberately pretends to have an angry look, and curses in a low voice: "I've never seen an idiot like you. Even if this is the Ghost City, who dares to take out Stone Essence Powder in an open and aboveboard manner for people to see? If the Dao Sect found out, they would investigate one by one. Everyone in this valley would be in big trouble! "
Hou Qing was startled, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother is right, I was too impatient and reckless. May I ask Senior Brother, do you have such a thing?"
"Hehe, the Stone Essence Powder is such a precious thing. How could I have it!"
A hint of ridicule flashed in Fang Xing's heart. He deliberately sneered and said.
Hou Qing was a little angry. He suppressed his anger and said, "Are you trying to punish me?"
"I have been listening on the side for a long time. Even if I wanted to punish you, I don't have the time to waste with you!"
Fang Xing pretended to be profound.
Hou Qing did notice that he had been listening for a long time. Hope suddenly appeared in his heart, "Then what does senior brother mean?"
Fang Xing let out a long breath and said, "I can get the Stone Essence Powder, but the responsibility is too big!"
Hou Qing quickly said, "Senior brother, don't worry. I have a Demon Spirit Pill here. It is refined from a grade 3 demonic beast's inner core. When used for cultivation, it is worth more than 100 spirit stones. If senior brother can get me two or three stones of Stone Essence Powder, this pill will be your reward!"
"100 spirit stones? Oh my god … "
Fang Xing shouted in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be in deep thought.
"Senior brother thinks it is too little?"
Hou Qing was very nervous. After waiting here for a whole night, Fang Xing was the first person to say that he could get the Stone Essence Powder.
This kind of resource was strictly controlled by the Dao Sect. It was not easy for ordinary people to get their hands on it.
"A Demon Spirit Pill is indeed not low. But … I won't hide it from you. Although I can get the Stone Essence Powder, the responsibility is too big. Once the news is leaked, not to mention me, even my father will have to … Oh, I don't need to tell you this. I can get you the Stone Essence Powder, but the price will be a bit higher …"
Hou Qing's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Xing raised his hand and interrupted him. He fiercely stared at him and coldly said, "Also, I have to warn you before this. After you get the Stone Essence Powder, you better keep your mouth shut. If I hear even the slightest bit of news, I will make you pay a painful price … At least in this Blue Cloud Sect, you won't be able to stay any longer!"
Fang Xing hadn't even agreed on the price, but he had already threatened Hou Qing. This made Hou Qing feel more at ease.
He couldn't help but think, "At this time, he just revealed his mouth and mentioned his father. It seems that his father is also a cultivator in this Blue Cloud Sect. Maybe he is still in a high position. Judging from his tone of threatening me, this person may be a second generation ancestor. This also makes sense. Only these people have the means to reach the heavens, and it is possible to really get the Stone Essence powder … …"
"Haha, don't worry, Senior Brother. This little brother's mouth is extremely tight. Moreover, this little brother's clan is also quite powerful. If someone really finds out that this little brother has broken through and asks about it, this little brother will just say that the clan got it for this little brother. I won't implicate Senior Brother …"
Hou Qing hurriedly swore.
Fang Xing lowered his gaze and said, "It's good that you know what you're doing. Also, raise the price!"
Hou Qing pondered for a while and said, "How about thirty more spirit stones on top of the Demon Spirit Core?"
Fang Xing was already overjoyed, but he purposely clenched his teeth and said, "Forty more!"
"Thirty-two?"
"Thirty-eight?"
"Thirty-five?"
"Deal!"
Fang Xing waved his fist and stopped.
Hou Qing seemed to be relieved and hurriedly asked, "When can Senior Brother give it to me?"
Fang Xing pretended to be serious and thought for a while. He said, "In nine days, at night, wait for me at the top of the mountain outside the Spirit Transformation Valley. Before I arrive, don't show yourself. Clap your hands three times to make an oath and bring all the things I want..."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother..."
Hou Qing seemed to be relieved and cupped his hands toward Fang Xing.
Fang Xing nodded and suddenly said, "Why are you still here?"
Hou Qing was stunned and a little unhappy. "Why did Senior Brother scold me?"
Fang Xing fiercely said, "I can't wait to beat an idiot like you to death. You still haven't left? Do you want to stay here and ask a few more people? Do you want the whole world to know that you need the Stone Essence Powder? Since I've already promised you, you better not let others know about the Stone Essence Powder. I'm telling you, if there's even the slightest hint of something wrong, this deal will be invalid! "
Hou Qing suddenly understood and hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He whispered, "This little brother has learned his lesson. I'll leave now!"
Although he didn't buy anything in the end, Fang Xing was happy when he thought of Hou Qing's frightened appearance.
Humming a song, he left the Ghost City. His mind was already planning.
He accidentally learned that Hou Qing wanted the Stone Essence Powder. This made Fang Xing's plan to get to know Hua Qianzhi have a clear direction.
If it was the real Stone Essence Powder, where would he get it for him?
But if it's fake, there's a ready-made master of counterfeiting!
That night, he went back with his head pillowed on his arm. He planned for half the night and began to implement it early the next morning.
First, he got up early in the morning and took out the clothes he wore when he was a Taoist child. He took out the Wanluo Ghost Mask and changed his appearance. This time, he didn't turn into an adult. Instead, he turned into the appearance of a twelve or thirteen year old Taoist child. He took out the bronze mirror and made a face in front of it for a while. Finally, he found a suitable expression, shy like a little girl.
After he was ready, Fang Xing hummed a song and swayed his buttocks out of the wooden house.
He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly remembered that he was pretending to be a shy little Taoist child. There was no need to shake his buttocks, right?
Only then did he change and walk normally.
