Inside the inn.
Looking at the lifelike Phoenix Eye, Cheng Buzheng could Cheng Buzheng but smile.
Next, it's time to bring this Treasure Art to its full potential.
A thought crossed my mind.
Its Phoenix Eye, emitting wisps of gray mist, fell upon a piece of Spirit Heart Ore.
They blended together like water and milk.
This precious eye was constantly absorbing the slivers of crystalline light from the Spirit Heart Ore.
A short while later.
A piece of Spirit Heart Ore was completely shattered into fragments, revealing a pale white Phoenix Eye within.
Seeing this, Cheng Buzheng knew that the essence of this Spirit Heart Ore had been completely absorbed by the Treasure Eye.
The Heart Spirit Treasure Eye has now been fully formed!
immediately.
The pale white treasure eye transformed into a stream of light, shooting towards the Spirit Heart Ore on the side.
As the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye absorbs more essence, its color gradually deepens.
Until the last piece of the Spirit Heart Ore's essence was completely absorbed by the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye, it was no longer the pale white it had been, but instead turned into a clear quartz.
Beautiful.
Translucent.
Cheng Buzheng out and summoned the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye into his palm. He examined this Heart Spirit Treasure Eye, which was equivalent to Mid-grade Treasure Tool.
"To advance to the superior grade, the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye will need to devour approximately eight more pieces of Spirit Heart Ore."
He thought to himself.
Then, a thought struck him.
A purple Heart-Mind Dharma Eye emanated from between his eyebrows, while the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye in his palm transformed into a stream of light, imprinting itself into the brow bone between his eyebrows.
Cheng Buzheng placed the Heart-Mind Dharma Eye in his hand on the center of the forehead of the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet".
A purple vertical line appeared between the eyebrows of the stern-faced Puppet.
After everything was settled.
Cheng Buzheng stood up and walked outside!
Sea Suppressing Island, at the bottom of the sea.
Cheng Buzheng was enveloped in a layer of Black and White Flowing Spirit Light, while the cold-faced puppet was no longer by his side.
Three thousand miles.
Ten thousand miles.
·····
Ten thousand miles.
Three hundred thousand miles.
Six hundred thousand miles.
Three million and three thousand miles.
suddenly.
Cheng Buzheng lost the connection with the Puppet.
He then walked forward a short distance and sensed the puppet again.
Three million and three thousand miles away, a Puppet suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
A cultivator with a stern face and a vertical line between his eyebrows cast a Method Formula.
Half a breath later.
He transformed into a streak of Black and White Flowing Spirit Light and vanished.
Thousands of miles away from Sea Suppressing Island, in a reef somewhere on the seabed.
Suddenly, a Black and White Flowing Spirit Light appeared on Cheng Buzheng's body.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng a thought.
His appearance changed to that of an ordinary-looking cultivator, while the cold-faced puppet cast a Method Formula, transforming into a white-faced, beardless old man. The two flew towards Sea Suppressing City one after the other.
" The Heart-Mind Dharma Eye has advanced to the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye, increasing its range by at least a hundredfold, reaching 300,000 li."
" The Heart Spirit Treasure Eye has been upgraded from low-grade to mid-grade, almost tenfold, reaching three million li. As for the extra three thousand li, that should be attributed to the Heart Spirit Treasure Eye!"
Cheng Buzheng pondered silently in his heart.
This is also why he didn't refine more Spirit Eyes. Each upgrade in the grade of a Spirit Eye represents a huge change, so it's better to focus on upgrading just one Spirit Eye with those resources.
He might only consider it if he Spirit Stone in the future.
Although at this time.
The puppet's sensing range reached over three million miles, but compared to the Endless Sea, this distance was far too short.
The area of Immortal Alliance Island and Sea Suppressing Island alone is more than ten million li.
It doesn't even cover half the distance.
There is still a huge gap between the current situation and his grand goals.
Cheng Buzheng pondered, he flew on, and before he knew it, he had arrived in Sea Suppressing City once again.
Immediately.
Cheng Buzheng began to process the spirit medicine on his body, replacing them with the Spirit Material for the Bipolar Pill and the spirit medicine for the Spirit-Increasing Pill.
Half an hour later.
The white-faced, beardless old man glanced at the shop, which stood out conspicuously in the center of Sea Suppressing City, shaped like a pagoda.
This pagoda is indeed the Treasure Pagoda.
Although this Treasure Pagoda is similar in shape to the treasure pagoda of the Jin Kingdom, it differs from the six-story Treasure Pagoda of the Jin Kingdom in that it has nine stories, and the two are vastly different in size.
It's like the difference between a skyscraper and a bungalow.
Moreover, this pagoda is the tallest building in Sea Suppressing City.
Cheng Buzheng seeing the tall and imposing nine-story pagoda, Cheng Buzheng thought to himself:
"I imagine the later levels of the tower are for higher-level cultivators, and the spiritual items there must be even more precious."
certainly.
If you have enough Spirit Stone, you might be able to buy some precious treasures.
Then, he suppressed his thoughts and strode towards the lobby on the first floor.
The hall was approximately a thousand feet in size.
The furnishings in this hall are not much different from those of the several Treasure Pagoda in the Jin Kingdom. The floor is paved with Spirit Jade without a single gap.
Moreover, within the Spirit Jade on the ground, a scene of a Flood Dragon soaring through the sea was reflected, looking so lifelike that it seemed as if a real Flood Dragon was churning the clouds and overturning the sea inside.
The walls, seemingly transparent on all four sides, contain an endless sea, with seven enormous islands clearly visible within.
At a glance, Cheng Buzheng noticed a giant island that looked somewhat familiar.
These are the seven large islands of the Sea Suppressing Alliance, one of which is the island he is standing on, Sea Suppressing Island.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng knew in his heart that perhaps the Treasure Pagoda in front of him was the main pagoda of the legendary Treasure Pagoda!
Upon entering the hall, one sees Green-Clothed Attendant standing with their heads bowed in every corner and at every turn.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng delay and went directly to a Green-Clothed Attendant.
A refined-looking cultivator, sensing Cheng Buzheng's Spirit Pressure, quickly bowed and whispered:
"Distinguished guest, is there anything I can help you with?"
Upon hearing this...
Cheng Buzheng said calmly:
"Buy some Spirit Material!"
Immediately, the Green-Clothed Attendant bowed and gestured with his hand, saying:
"Honored guest, this way please!"
Cheng Buzheng followed the Green-Clothed Attendant to a room on the third floor.
After the Green-Clothed Attendant pushed open the door, he gestured for the door to open, and then stood guard outside the door.
See here.
Cheng Buzheng hesitate and stepped directly into the room.
The interior furnishings were quite elegant, with several ink paintings hanging on two walls and a bookshelf filled with classic books right next to the wall.
In the center of the room, there is a tea table and wooden chairs.
An elderly monk sat on a wooden chair, sipping fragrant tea.
Upon seeing the visitor, he calmly put down his teacup, stood up, and smiled:
"I am Qu He, the manager of the third level of the Treasure Pagoda. Qu He, fellow Daoist!"
"May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Daoist?"
Cheng Buzheng smiled and said:
"Greetings, Manager Qu. My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Liu!"
Although the name was fake, Cheng Buzheng underestimate this Manager Qu. Just from the Spirit Pressure he exuded, he could tell that this person was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, and at the peak of that stage.
He was just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core Stage and enjoying an eight-hundred-year lifespan.
Moreover, Cheng Buzheng also knew that the other party might not believe the name he gave.
In the world of cultivation.
There are too many monks who go out using false names, but it's also quite common.
Manager Qu Qu's question was merely an attempt to build a closer relationship, a common tactic used by most shop owners.
He was fully aware of this.
Immediately.
Manager Qu seemed to believe his name, his expression unchanged, and he smiled faintly:
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
The two then sat down on either side of the tea table.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, is this your first time visiting this tower?"
Manager Qu asked as he brewed tea.
"That's right, exactly!"
"I believe you, fellow Daoist, have also heard of the reputation of this tower..."
···
The two chatted for a long time but never got to the point, which was related to Manager Qu's probing.
Cheng Buzheng glossed over everything he could, and apart from a fake name, Manager Qu gained nothing else.
Cheng Buzheng also had time to engage in witty banter with him.
He understood that whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage, and besides, he didn't care about the time.
After chatting for a long time, Manager Qu realized that this old fox was unusually calm and experienced, and it was possible that he didn't know which of his words were true and which were false, or even if they were all lies.
immediately.
He went straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you selling Spirit Material or purchasing treasures?"
After Cheng Buzheng the other party had gotten to the point, Cheng Buzheng smiled and said:
"Buy and sell!"
Immediately.
He took out a Jade Slip and placed it in front of Manager Qu, then played with the teacup but didn't drink a drop!
This is something a seasoned cultivator who has spent many years in the cultivation world should be wary of and accustomed to!
Although the puppet will be fine after drinking the Spirit Tea, one should maintain the appropriate attitude according to the level of the cultivator.
After all, he's a professional actor!
Manager Qu was not surprised by this and immediately began to explore the information in the Jade Slip.
A short while later.
Manager Qu looked astonished and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"I never expected you to be Alchemist, fellow Daoist! My apologies for my disrespect!"
Cheng Buzheng smiled and said:
"My skills are but a humble skill, hardly worthy of being presented in a refined setting. Manager Qu kind."
"Could it be that Manager Qu is also Alchemist?"
Of course, that last sentence was just a polite remark!
A third-level manager of the Treasure Pagoda has seen far too many Pill Formula and treasures, not to mention that the other party is a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, whose experience should not be underestimated.
Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce from these Spirit Material and spirit medicine that he is Alchemist.
If the other party is truly a second-tier Alchemist, there's no way they could be the manager of the Treasure Pagoda. Alchemist are far more desirable than managers, even for managers of the Treasure Pagoda!
Moreover, no matter how profound the foundation of the Treasure Pagoda is, it would not do such an unwise thing as appointing an Alchemist as a manager.
As expected.
Manager Qu shook his head and said:
"I'm not afraid to admit it, fellow Daoist, but I once aspired to become an Alchemist. Unfortunately, I wasted countless spirit medicine and failed to refine a single Spirit Pill."
"After reaching the Foundation Establishment, I returned to this profession, but so far I can only refine First-order Mid-grade -level pills. I haven't even managed to refine a single high-grade Spirit Pill yet!"
As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Upon hearing this...
Cheng Buzheng looked comforted and said:
"Although you haven't achieved anything in alchemy, your Immortal Path has been smooth sailing. You're now only one step away from becoming Golden Core True Person!"
"I'm so envious!"
Although he offered words of comfort, Cheng Buzheng knew that the other party must have had an ulterior motive for saying that.
Why would someone you have no relation to open up and chat with?
She really thinks she's some kind of adorable, universally loved person!
Besides, he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false.
Cheng Buzheng towards the latter.
Manager Qu said calmly:
"Although it's only a step away, how difficult it is to take that step!"
"I still admire your alchemy skills, fellow Daoist. With such skills, you will eventually be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and even have the hope of advancing further!"
Then, Manager Qu changed his tone and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to join the Treasure Pagoda as an Alchemist? With the Treasure Pagoda's resources, while we cannot guarantee your Ascending Gold Pill stage, we can at least significantly reduce the time required to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage."
"If you, fellow Daoist, make a significant contribution, you may even receive a Golden Core Breaking Pill."
Upon hearing this...
Cheng Buzheng smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but unfortunately, I am accustomed to wandering around!"
He knew what the other party was up to; it was nothing more than a reward for introducing a second-tier alchemist.
otherwise.
The other person shouldn't be venting their frustrations here just because they have nothing better to do.
However, it's all driven by profit.
Seeing Cheng Buzheng, Manager Qu knew that nothing he said would make a difference, especially since the other party was a seasoned veteran of the cultivation world. Unless he offered something that would tempt him.
Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible.
See here.
Manager Qu's mind raced, and he spoke:
"Since you're used to wandering the world, I won't make things difficult for you!"
"However, would you be willing to become Honorary Alchemist for the Treasure Pagoda?"
"No matter where you are, as long as there is a branch of the Treasure Pagoda, you can get a 10% discount and priority access to purchase precious Spirit Material and items."
"Of course, you must complete one alchemy task every year, or you can complete ten tasks within ten years; otherwise, you will automatically lose this qualification."
"What do you think, my friend?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Buzheng immediately began to make plans in his mind.
A short while later.
Cheng Buzheng spoke up:
Are there any other requirements?
Manager Qu shook his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please rest assured, there are absolutely no other demands!"
Cheng Buzheng nodded and said:
"Can!"
Then, Manager Qu took out a Identity Token and handed it to Cheng Buzheng.
Then, Manager Qu smiled and said:
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on joining the Treasure Pagoda!"
Cheng Buzheng, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:
Congratulations to you! Congratulations to you!
·····
After chatting idly for a long time...
Cheng Buzheng did not delay any longer and completed the transaction with the other party directly.
After the Treasure Pagoda was dealt with.
He had completely used up all the spirit medicine he brought out from the Secret Realm, including the three Purple Flow Flower he had bought before, as well as the spirit medicine he had purchased to enhance his physical body.
They exchanged the materials for seven batches of Bipolar Pill and the spirit medicine seven batches of Spirit-Increasing Pill.
Among the materials for the Bipolar Pill, the main ingredient, second-tier Demon Beast, is the most expensive. Of course, second-tier Desolate Beast can also be used as the main ingredient, and the price of Demon Beast is almost half as much as that of Desolate Beast.
Therefore, Cheng Buzheng naturally chose a second-tier Desolate Beast as the main ingredient for refining the Bipolar Pill.
The Bipolar Pill refined from this Desolate Beast is no less effective than the Spirit Pill refined primarily from Demon Beast.
even so.
The Spirit Material needed for one batch of Bipolar Pill also require about three thousand Spirit Stone.
The cost of one batch of Spirit-Increasing Pill spirit medicine is almost double that of one batch of Bipolar Pill, costing nearly six thousand Spirit Stone.
The fourteen batches of pills refined will provide him with enough for the next three years if he takes two pills each month!
This is also his preparation for his future seclusion.
At the same time, his fanny pack also bulged a little.
At this moment, there were more than four thousand Spirit Stone in the storage bag.
Cheng Buzheng overjoyed, mentally calculating all his gains!
