The night market in the north of the city was as bustling as ever.
A young cultivator dressed in a plain, dull gray robe strolled slowly through the northern night market before entering a shop called Nine Tripod Pavilion.
The shop was not large, with only two sections, front and back. Including the storeroom, it probably had just seven or eight rooms.
This unremarkable young cultivator was Wei Suo. Carrying the Ghost Nurturing Jar, he had come out to buy a pile of things before going into seclusion once more, to see if he could use the resources at hand to break through to the Circulation Realm in one fell swoop.
Along the way, Wei Suo had already bought twenty-three Green Armored Beetle demon cores, six Golden Spirit Pills, and two Fire Earth Dragons that had only recently been killed from various Rogue Cultivators.
Since the Green Robe Old Man could refine at most a few drops of Fire Earth Dragon blood per day, the blood of those two Fire Earth Dragons would be enough to last him at least a month.
Wei Suo had chosen Nine Tripod Pavilion because, although this shop looked unremarkable, it was exceptionally well-established among the businesses in the northern district. It could probably buy out seventy or eighty of the old fox's shops that Wei Suo used to frequent. Nine Tripod Pavilion not only sold many materials for artifact refinement and pill concoction, but its owner, Murong Chen, was also a fairly skilled artifact refiner.
If cultivators handed him materials to refine on their behalf, then should he ruin them, he would compensate them with Spirit Stones equal in value to the materials themselves. He enjoyed quite a reputation in the northern market.
Wei Suo still had the corpse of a Heart Devouring Worm
