After purchasing the Golden Saint Pill, Chen Wang had a sudden thought and asked softly, "Do you have any Law Artifact that can change one's appearance?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said softly, "Only the Shapeshifting Talisman costs twenty Spirit Stone. It can change one's appearance within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but one cannot fight with others, otherwise the Law Technique will be broken."

Jiang Ning was indeed extremely skilled in his work and very eloquent.

Chen Wang deeply understands this point.

"Twenty Spirit Stone can only temporarily change one's appearance, and it's not enough to fight anyone?" Chen Wang sighed.

"That's right, this type is relatively rare, whether it's Law Artifact or a talisman," Jiang Ning explained.

"Alright, give me one," Chen Wang said.

Although it may sound useless, it might come in handy someday.

"By the way, have you ever heard of the Five Elements Escape Talisman? Are these sold?"

Chen Wang asked.

"The Five Elements Escape Talisman?" Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I've heard of it, but it's a top-tier talisman and not for sale. If it becomes available in the future, I'll keep an eye out for it for you."

The Five Elements Escape Talisman was Talisman Paper in the hands of Wu Qing, a disciple of Sword Concealment Valley. It was extremely effective, capable of making one disappear without a trace in an instant.

This made Chen Wang very envious.

After some questioning, Chen Wang discovered that the Hundred Treasures Pavilion currently did not have any top-tier Law Artifact or Talisman Paper, so he had to leave temporarily.

After leaving the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Chen Wang stopped in his tracks.

"Should we check out a few other places and try our luck?"

Initially, Chen Wang was unwilling to trade with multiple companies because he lacked the financial strength and was afraid of being ripped off by unscrupulous merchants with poor reputations.

Through several transactions with the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, a certain level of trust has been established.

However, Chen Wang is now stronger and has many treasures in his possession, giving him more confidence.

"Let's see if there are any suitable resources. Now is the time to unleash our potential and find ways to enhance our strength."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Although he had the Body Tempering Pill from that Brawny Man, he still believed that the more resources he had, the better.

Especially forces like the Five Poisons Sect Seven Stars Sect, operating in the shadows, have set their sights on the Red Cloud Sect.

Who knows when Foundation Establishment experts will start fighting each other, or even Golden Core Stage experts will intervene.

Chen Wang needs to develop some means to protect himself.

However, after browsing through several shops in the Market, he did not find any suitable body-refining pills or anything he wanted.

"There are worries when you only have one Spirit Stone, and there are still worries when you have hundreds of Spirit Stone."

Chen Wang sighed.

These stores only offer ordinary Strengthening Foundation and Nurturing Origin and nourishing vital energy, as well as Body Tempering Spirit Liquid with very poor effects.

Chen Wang didn't think much of it, and there was no need for him to reveal his wealth under these circumstances.

He initially intended to leave, but then changed his mind and went back to the stalls.

Old Zhou often sold talismans, was not around. Chen Wang inquired and found out that Old Zhou had actually passed away.

"Gone? How did it disappear?" Chen Wang, somewhat surprised.

Old Zhou a Talisman Master, the kind who can draw high-grade talismans. Joining the Red Cloud Sect would also change his background.

His cultivation level is unknown.

However, the path of Talisman Master is not one where the higher the realm, the higher the skill. Pills, talismans, and weapon crafting are all methods of overcoming the strong with the weak, so overall, their combat strength is not bad.

"Old Zhou went to explore in the mountains. I don't know what he was thinking at his age, but he actually wanted to rob a tomb."

"Not long after he came back, he fell ill and died. I suspect that he had attracted something unclean in the mountains and was haunted by evil spirits."

A nearby stall owner sighed.

"Is it the tomb of the people of Green Crane Town?" Chen Wang asked.

"He didn't tell me. He was a bit agitated those few days, unlike his usual self. It seemed like he had discovered some secret. Sigh, what secrets are there in this world? If there were good resources, would they even be available to us rogue cultivators?"

The stall owner seemed extremely talkative, and then sighed.

Chen Wang remained silent.

He wasn't saddened by the old man's death, but rather felt a sense of melancholy.

"For an elderly cultivator to suddenly develop a desire to rob a tomb must mean he has received some accurate information."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

These days, you have to fight for everything; resources are scarce for cultivators at the lower levels.

If you want to obtain a lot of Cultivation Method and medicinal resources, sometimes you have to risk your life.

"If I hadn't been able to travel between the two worlds and rapidly improve my strength, I would probably have to risk my life to earn many resources by now."

Chen Wang was solemn.

He recently acquired some resources after several bloody battles, so he should cherish them.

He strolled around the stall and noticed that the voluptuous female stall owner had her arm bandaged and in a sling.

For an ordinary person, being suspended in the air is just a matter of being suspended, but for her, it actually accentuates a certain prominent feature of her body.

He glanced at it briefly and was about to leave when he was drawn to something on her stall. The female stall owner usually only sold Law Artifact, but now she had two bottles of pills on her stall. One bottle was labeled "Detoxification Pill," and the other was labeled "Great Strength Pill" —names that sounded like something out of a cheap street vendor's shop.

"Body-refining pills to temper Qi and Blood."

The description is simple, but the price is very expensive, costing fifty Spirit Stone.

This price is outrageously expensive.

The female stall owner had one arm in a sling, and she frowned at the slightest movement.

Just then, a cultivator came over to inquire. This cultivator was burly and carried a short gun on his back, which looked extremely sharp and gleamed with a cold light.

"Shopkeeper, could you make this Great Strength Pill cheaper?"

He actually took a liking to the Great Strength Pill at first sight.

"No bargaining, take it at this price if you want it."

The female stall owner frowned and said coldly.

The burly cultivator carrying a short spear hesitated for a moment. "Although the Great Strength Pill is extremely rare and can enhance Qi and Blood, there are too few body cultivators nowadays. It will be difficult for you to sell this. Make it cheaper."

After some haggling between the two, Chen Wang listened from the side and gradually learned about the efficacy of the Great Strength Pill.

Although the name sounds cheap and cheap, its effects are extremely good; it's a top-grade elixir.

If it weren't for its use in body refinement, the price would be even higher.

In the end, the burly man still didn't make up his mind to buy it. The price was enough to buy a good Law Artifact. Although pills could speed up cultivation, they were still unaffordable for cultivators at the lower levels.

After a long time, weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to leave.

The female stall owner did not argue with anyone this time, seemingly because she was injured in the arm and did not want to aggravate the wound.

After the burly man left, Chen Wang squatted down, his gaze falling on the Great Strength Pill.

Seeing that no one around him was paying attention, Chen Wang thought for a moment and then said, "I'll buy this bottle of pills."

The female stall owner raised an eyebrow when she saw Chen Wang: "Although the Great Strength Pill is effective, it is for body tempering, not for qi cultivation."

"I know." Chen Wang nodded and took out Spirit Stone to make the purchase.

The female stall owner's eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly as she put the items away.

"They have good taste and know their stuff."

After she finished speaking, she looked away and did not speak to Chen Wang again.

After buying the Great Strength Pill, Chen Wang left the Market.

Fortunately, the Red Cloud Sect has been cracking down recently, so things are relatively peaceful and Chen Wang hasn't been targeted.
