"I did not intend to use this as an excuse to demand more wealth from you, Fellow Daoist. But my cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck these past few years, and breaking through has truly been difficult. I hope you can understand."
After explaining himself, Qu Lingchuan sent a voice transmission. "I also want two Breakthrough Pills, at least two kinds of Core Formation Spirit Materials, and..."
One after another, he listed numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of considerable value.
Even Chen Sanshi felt a pang of pain at the thought.
Moreover, there were some things he simply did not possess at present.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
Seeing that he remained silent for so long, Qu Lingchuan made as if to leave. "Since that is the case, I shall not force you. But rest assured, I will not easily reveal that you came looking for me."
"Wait, Brother Qu."
Chen Sanshi stopped him and transmitted his voice. "Most of the things you mentioned, even if I do not have them, I can find a way to purchase for you. Only regarding the two Core Formation Spirit Materials—I currently possess only this one Fire Lingzhi. Even if I am willing to spend spirit stones, I may not necessarily be able to buy another."
That Fire Lingzhi.
It had been spoils from his campaign to wipe out the Guiyuan Sect Disciples. It was enough for two people to use, but he truly had no more than that.
A single Foundation Establishment Pill was enough to make low-level independent cultivators fight to the death. Core Formation Spirit Materials capable of raising one's chances of success were naturally priceless treasures—things with a market but no price.
"So Brother Xiao truly does have a Core Formation Spirit Material."
Qu Lingchuan marveled inwardly once again.
