Immortal Mansion Spirit Mountain.
Inside a certain cave abode.
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the Jade Bed, a Storage Bag clasped in his hand.
This Storage Bag contained many precious treasures...
There were Spirit Materials for refining puppets, auxiliary Spirit Medicines for refining mid-grade third-rank Godly Extreme Pills, as well as other treasures!
These treasures were almost entirely the gains from this "fortuitous opportunity."
However, his Storage Bag no longer contained the Spirit Stones he had received during his transaction with that disguised Huangfu Immortal Clan cultivator!
Those Spirit Stones had all been on the puppet!
When the Soul Puppet self-detonated, the Storage Bag holding the Spirit Stones had shattered as well, long since ground to dust within the spatial turbulence.
That was precisely because tampering with Spirit Stones was an exceptionally fine method!
Back in the Dark Market, when the cultivator who traded with him brought out numerous Spiritual Items for exchange, Cheng Buzheng had known that this person was the fortuitous opportunity he had been waiting for—especially when the Spirit Materials and Spiritual Items offered in trade were all treasures he urgently needed.
Cheng Buzheng became even more convinced of it!
Furthermore, that piece of Heaven Soul Iron—whether in size, shape, or grain...
All of those characteristics were exactly the same as the Heaven Soul Iron Cheng Buzheng had previously failed to trade for!
Spirit Materials were born of heaven and earth. Though the grain of every piece might appear exceedingly similar, each piece still possessed slight differences.
It was the same principle as there being no two identical leaves in the world!
Thus, the moment Cheng Buzheng saw that piece of Heaven Soul Iron, he determined that it belonged to the stall owner wearing a hood—the very stall owner who had wanted to exchange that Spirit Material
