Purchase

Li Pin avoided the alley selling the Five Elements Body Refining Technique and went to the one next door.

After a few turns, he stopped in front of a stall selling medicinal herbs.

He sensed the stimulation these herbs had on the Life Vitality within his body, one by one.

When he touched the Blood Burning Powder, his movements paused slightly.

"How much is it?"

"Three thousand per gram."

"Do you have Blood Burning Grass?"

Li Pin asked.

The stall owner glanced at Li Pin.

Blood Burning Powder was extracted from Blood Burning Grass. It could greatly activate Qi and Blood, making it burn and boil, thus allowing Martial Artists to unleash stronger combat power.

It was similar to a stimulant.

However, after use, one would fall into a state of weakness for several days.

Li Pin wanted to buy Blood Burning Grass, thinking he could extract it himself to save costs.

After a moment of thought, he replied, "Yes, thirty thousand per jin. I'm too lazy to sell less than a jin."

"Give me a jin first."

"Alright, I'll have someone deliver it."

The stall owner took out his phone and sent a message: "Come pick it up in half an hour."

Li Pin nodded.

He had just sensed that Blood Burning Grass seemed to have a very good stimulating effect on Life Vitality. As for the specifics, he would have to wait until he got back to try it to get results.

If it was as he imagined...

His time to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage could be shortened again.

"Do you have any old herbs?"

"Depends on what kind of old herb you're looking for."

"Hundred Year Ginseng."

"Yes, but you'll have to pay extra. Depending on the specific age, it's three to five thousand per gram."

The stall owner said.

Li Pin pondered, he couldn't afford it.

A Hundred Year Ginseng typically weighed over three hundred grams. At this price, it would cost over a million.

Moreover, the cost-effectiveness wasn't high.

At present, Li Pin got up and continued to check other stalls.

See if he could find some good items by relying on his own perception talent.

At this moment, he noticed a stall surrounded by a group of people, from which faint suppressed exclamations could be heard.

"It really is a Star Artifact."

"Even though it's forged from inferior Star Crystals, it's still a Star Artifact."

Li Pin heard the commotion and moved closer.

This stall owner had no other goods on his stall, only a seemingly ordinary small bracelet.

It was priced at 2.8 million.

"Star Artifact..."

This was the first time Li Pin had come into close contact with an item related to Star Refiners.

Martial Artists could barely activate the mystical properties of Star Artifacts.

And inferior Star Artifacts...

Basically had no mystical properties either.

But for Martial Artists, these inferior Star Artifacts had an effect that Star Refiners didn't care about, but was crucial to them.

It could cause technology weapons to have a small chance of malfunctioning when a Martial Artist attacked them.

After all, no matter how strong a Martial Artist was, they couldn't withstand machine guns and cannons.

Looking back over the past few decades, there were countless Dan Dao Martial Masters and Gang Jin Grandmasters who were oppressed and killed by ordinary people with guns.

But if that Martial Artist had worn a Star Artifact, their survival rate would have greatly increased.

The more Star Artifacts they wore, and the better their quality, the higher the chance of technology weapons malfunctioning when dealing with them.

If they were covered in Star Artifacts, under certain circumstances, they could be immune to technology weapon attacks, just like Star Refiners.

This was why even inferior Star Artifacts could be sold at a high price.

"Two million eight hundred thousand."

Li Pin thought of the Star Crystal on him.

Even if it wasn't a Star Artifact, it could still sell for one or two million.

This was no small sum.

Including the million from Hongri Apparel later, he could buy a house in the capital of Jiangzhou.

Just around that time, Li Yunyao would finish her college entrance exams, and he could move to the capital with her and Mother Li.

The capital had high-level Star Refiners, making it far safer than a county town.

"My killing of the Cat Demon is common knowledge, so I can sell it through legitimate channels."

Li Pin circled around and returned to the stall selling Dragon Form Fist.

Dragon Form Fist could be integrated into his Eight Fiends True Fire Strength—Chi Dragon. He spent 160,000 to buy this manual that could reach Embrace Dan.

After buying the manual, he returned to the medicine stall and bought a jin of Blood Burning Grass.

Just as he was about to browse further, he noticed the crowd thinning. Some stall owners were even packing up early and leaving in a hurry, as if something had happened.

Li Pin observed for a moment and soon followed the flow of people out of the alley.

He saw that not far from the alley, a group of more than ten people stood silently, their expressions cold and unwelcoming.

However, not a single one of them stepped into the alley.

Li Pin watched for a moment and quickly recognized two of them.

"Five Elements Sect's Vice Sect Master Cao Zuoqiu, Qi Dongyuan!?"

Both of them were figures with Associate Senior Titles. Among them, Cao Zuoqiu had successfully reached Embrace Dan five years ago.

The Five Elements Sect Master, Cao Tianyou, was a Gang Refining Grandmaster. After founding the Five Elements Sect thirty years ago, he single-handedly elevated it to the top position in Canglong City. In his prime, he had placed in the top ten of the ninth National Martial Arts Competition, his fame immense.

However, he was now old, his Qi and Blood gradually declining. Four years ago, he had already moved to the capital, Jiangzhou, to live out his retirement.

The pillars of the Five Elements Sect were Cao Zuoqiu, Qi Dongyuan, and his eldest disciple Zhao Yuan, who was with him in the capital plotting his development.

Now, Cao Zuoqiu and Qi Dongyuan, who were stationed in Canglong City, had arrived. The more than ten people around them were all experts who had achieved Gang Jin cultivation without exception...

Clearly, they were here for the person who dared to openly sell the Five Elements Sect's core inheritance.

The reason they hadn't directly stormed the black market was to show restraint and give face to the black market's owner.

"One Dan Jin, one Embrace Dan."

Li Pin, following the flow of people, stopped.

At this moment, an irrepressible uproar erupted from within the black market.

Immediately after, the man who had previously sold the Five Elements Body Refining Technique calmly walked out.

His composed demeanor showed that he didn't take the more than ten people from the Five Elements Sect seriously at all.

This attitude...

Selling the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, he had clearly done it intentionally.

Sensing the shift in atmosphere, everyone in the black market quickly left, unwilling to get involved.

However, dozens of people still stopped, unwilling to leave.

A Dan Jin battle!

It looked like a battle to the death. Such a scene was extremely rare in Canglong City.

"Wang Daoyi."

Cao Zuoqiu stared at the man.

"I'm here."

The man called Wang Daoyi replied indifferently, "How do you plan to die?"

"Fourteen years ago, my father saw that your heart was impure and that you would inevitably betray us. As expected... you stole our Five Elements Sect's core inheritance, absconded with all the precious resources, and today, you dare to appear openly on Five Elements Sect territory!? Do you really think we can't kill you?"

Cao Zuoqiu said sternly.

"I was the one on the front lines, I was the one fighting to the death, I was the one who took the blame and punishment, and when it came down to it, you wouldn't even give me the core inheritance?"

Wang Daoyi sneered, put on a pair of specially made gloves, and rolled up his sleeves layer by layer. "Come, let me see how far you, the trash that old man placed so much hope in, can train the Five Elements Body Refining Technique."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved.

One person, facing the twelve people from the Five Elements Sect, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he took the initiative to attack.

His movement was like thunder, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, a terrifying, ferocious aura sweeping over them.

Li Pin confirmed it immediately.

Wang Daoyi had killed people!

And not just one!
