Moving Low-Grade Spirit Stones

"Do you have any Fire Clearing Pills?" Wei Suo asked directly, not wanting to waste time with this guy.

"Fire Clearing Pills? Yes, I do, but what do you need them for?" The old fox, dressed in a yellowish-brown robe, seemed a bit surprised.

"Lately, people have been buying Fire Scorpions, and I want to catch some to sell. Of course, I need a Fire Clearing Pill for protection. If I accidentally get stung by a Fire Scorpion and poisoned, I'll be done for," Wei Suo gave a casual excuse.

"There are really fools buying these Fire Scorpions? That's true, having a Fire Clearing Pill to counter fire poison shouldn't cause any problems." The old fox chuckled and held up a finger, "Since we're familiar with each other, and you know the market price, it's one Low-grade Spirit Stone."

Wei Suo glanced at the old fox, "How much for a bottle of Qi Replenishing Powder and a Wind Evasion Talisman?"

"A bottle of Qi Replenishing Powder and a Wind Evasion Talisman are worth one Low-grade Spirit Stone. Including the Fire Clearing Pill, that's two Low-grade Spirit Stones in total."

Wei Suo nodded decisively, "How about four First-Order Fireball Talismans?"

"Four First-Order Fireball Talismans?" The old fox was slightly taken aback, then immediately nodded, "Four First-Order Fireball Talismans are also worth two Low-grade Spirit Stones, of course."

"Here." Wei Suo took out four Fireball Talismans he had refined and handed them to the old fox.

"This..." The old fox carefully examined the four vermilion talismans in his hand, which emitted a faint warmth. "Wei Suo, where did you get these First-Order Fireball Talismans? The runes are quite peculiar."

"Alright, I know you won't make the deal if I don't try it out." Wei Suo gave the old fox a look and snatched a Fireball Talisman from his hand.

"What are you saying? After so many years, how could I not trust you? I just don't want you to be cheated and suffer a loss, so I'm asking for clarity." Although he said that, the old fox didn't stop his actions. He immediately turned around and led the way, bringing Wei Suo directly to the door of a stone house behind the shop.

I'll blow up this broken house. Wei Suo cursed silently while standing at the door, then focused his attention on the Fireball Talisman in his right hand.

A faint purple energy emerged from Wei Suo's hand, enveloping the vermilion talisman that emitted faint red light. Hiss! The Fireball Talisman quickly ignited, and a fireball rapidly grew from small to large in Wei Suo's hand. The heat emanating from the fireball instantly made Wei Suo's palm feel scorching, but at the same time, a strange feeling surged in Wei Suo's heart.

The last time Wei Suo cast this Fireball Talisman, he was too excited about his first successful refinement and didn't even feel how he had sent it out. However, this time, Wei Suo felt that the fireball seemed to be enveloped by a thin layer of his True Essence, with not a single flame leaking outwards.

Wei Suo gently waved his right hand towards a wall inside the stone house. With a whoosh, the fireball shot out rapidly, and not far in front of Wei Suo, it quickly grew to be as big as a winnowing basket, with wisps of flame also dispersing outwards.

"Boom!"

The entire stone house was almost instantly filled with scattered flames. The stone wall that was hit was covered in flying stone debris, and a black indentation appeared.

"Damn it!" If the fireball formed after activating the Fireball Talisman couldn't be shot out in time, after a while, his True Essence would no longer be able to contain it, and it would explode in his hand. However, the part impacted by the True Essence seemed to allow some control over the fireball's flight path in the air. As Wei Suo was still savoring these sensations, a tongue of flame unfurled from the house, almost burning him again.

"The quality of this First-Order Fireball Talisman is quite good." As soon as the old fox saw the tongue of flame spewing out, he smiled and tucked the three Fireball Talismans into his sleeve. "Wei Suo, it's a deal. For the remaining Fireball Talisman, I'll give you a bottle of Qi Replenishing Powder, a Fire Clearing Pill, and a Wind Evasion Talisman."

"Look, look, someone is leaving the city carrying a bunch of Tiger Stripe Grass and Yellow Fuzz Mushrooms."

"Haha, look at his hair, it's like it's been burned by fire..."

"You guys know nothing! What do you mean 'like it's been burned by fire'? It has been burned by fire! Just you wait until I get rich, and see if you still laugh then."

Outside the north gate of Lingyue City, Wei Suo, carrying a large bundle of grass with patterns on its leaves resembling tiger skin and a large bag of mushrooms with yellow fuzz, hummed to himself as he ran towards Great Green Mountain with all his might.

Although he inevitably used up a Fireball Talisman at the old fox's place, Wei Suo had at least learned from him that about three hundred li north of Lingyue City, near the Purple Copper Mine Pit in Great Green Mountain, there were said to be many Fire Scorpions.

The Tiger Stripe Grass and Yellow Fuzz Mushrooms that Wei Suo was now carrying were the materials the Green Robe Old Man had mentioned could be used to attract Fire Scorpions. However, although the quantities of these two items were not as large as Silver Candle Grass and Fire Tail Flower, they were useless to other cultivators. Therefore, Wei Suo, carrying a pile of Tiger Stripe Grass and Yellow Fuzz Mushrooms, looked as foolish as could be.

The Tianyi Sect had set up Teleportation Arrays in many locations outside Lingyue City. Many low-level cultivators without flying Magic Treasures would directly use these Teleportation Arrays to go to their desired destinations. However, even the shortest distance Teleportation Array would cost at least two to three Low-grade Spirit Stones to use once. Therefore, poor guys like Wei Suo usually relied on their own two legs.

Over time, Wei Suo, who still didn't know any evasion techniques, could run extremely fast. In a flash, as it approached noon, Wei Suo finally reached his destination, the Purple Copper Mine Pit.

The Purple Copper Mine Pit originally produced purple copper ore, but sixty years ago, all the purple copper ore had been mined out. The entire mine pit was twenty to thirty li deep, looking no different from a canyon. Moreover, the mine pit was filled with heaps of discarded rocks from the original mining, as well as many deep mine shafts. Since there was nothing of value produced in this area, besides Wei Suo, there was no one else in the vicinity of the Purple Copper Mine Pit.

Adding to his original belongings, Wei Suo now had a total of two bottles of Qi Replenishing Powder, one Fire Clearing Pill, one First-Order Wind Evasion Talisman, two First-Order Fireball Talismans, one Low-grade Spirit Stone, and his Earth Shield Treasure Talisman, which could still be used once.

"Green-Haired Old Man, my fortune depends on you."

After checking that everything on him was in order, Wei Suo chose a relatively open area, gathered a pile of dry firewood, and lit it with a flint. Then, he evenly sprinkled the Tiger Stripe Grass and Yellow Fuzz Mushrooms he had brought onto the fire.

A somewhat pungent yellow-green smoke rose. In less than half an incense stick's time, from the grass in the direction of the wind, there was a sudden swish, and a dark red Fire Scorpion darted out.

"Wahaha! It really works!"

The blood of one Fire Scorpion was enough to refine four Fire Talismans. Assuming a fifty percent success rate, that would be two Fireball Talismans, and the market price for two Fireball Talismans was one Low-grade Spirit Stone. Therefore, in Wei Suo's eyes, this Fire Scorpion was a moving Low-grade Spirit Stone. Seeing the Fire Scorpion running, Wei Suo felt like he was seeing a Low-grade Spirit Stone running. Thus, as soon as the Fire Scorpion appeared, Wei Suo's eyes practically lit up, and he leaped off a nearby rock, charging towards the Fire Scorpion.

Before the Fire Scorpion could even figure out what was happening, it saw a person charging at it with immense excitement. Chichichi! While it was still stunned, two Azure Water Blades emitted by Wei Suo accurately struck its head, slicing off half of its head. The first Fire Scorpion that appeared didn't even have time to cry out before it twitched on the ground and became still.
