"There is a solution."
Luo Lan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she sighed softly, "If we find someone whose cultivation surpasses Huang Tianqi's, we can remove the restrictions on me."
Chen Changming fell silent.
Huang Tianqi is at the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you want to find someone who surpasses him, your cultivation level must be at least at the peak of the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But where can you find such a powerful individual?
He and his Senior Sister are now alone and isolated in the Chu Kingdom, knowing no one.
Therefore, this option has been completely blocked.
"It's too difficult, junior brother. Let's just give up. From now on, I'll just live like an ordinary person."
Luo Lan smiled bitterly, patted Chen Changming's arm, and said with a hopeful expression, "If one day you can break through to the peak of the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can naturally remove the restrictions on me."
" Senior Sister, isn't there any other way?"
Chen Changming asked unwillingly.
"There are two other options."
Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, "One way is to buy Restriction-Breaking Pill, which are specifically for Foundation Establishment cultivators. At my level, I need at least three Restriction-Breaking Pill. Another way is to set up a Restriction-Breaking Array of level four or higher. The power of the formation can also break the restrictions on my body."
" Senior Sister, you can try these two methods."
Chen Changming smiled slightly.
Both the Restriction-Breaking Pill and the Restriction-Breaking Array should be available for purchase with Spirit Stone, though they might be rare and difficult to obtain.
But as long as there's hope, that's enough.
This is much easier than searching for Foundation Establishment Stage 10 peak cultivator or Golden Core cultivator.
Chen Changming did not trust outsiders.
"Junior brother, let's leave this to fate."
Luo Lan comforted her.
Both the Restriction-Breaking Pill and the Restriction-Breaking Array are extremely rare and difficult to obtain on the market.
All of this depends on fortuitous opportunity.
"Senior sister, I'm going out to buy you some healing pills."
Chen Changming said.
"Junior Brother..." Luo Lan's eyes were filled with gratitude, and tears welled up in them.
She's now no different from a severely injured mortal; she's nothing more than a burden to her junior brother.
If she could move, she really wanted to leave right now and not cause any trouble for her junior brother.
" Senior Sister, don't overthink it. Now that I've rescued you, I won't abandon you halfway. No matter what, I'll find a way to remove the restrictions on you and let you embark on the path of cultivation again..."
Chen Changming said with a resolute expression.
Luo Lan nodded silently, but tears slid down her cheeks.
Unable to bear seeing his Senior Sister's sad expression, Chen Changming turned and left.
There was a well in the courtyard. Chen Changming stood beside the well and changed his appearance, transforming himself into an ugly middle-aged man.
He did not conceal his cultivation level, maintaining it at the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Level 10.
After disguising himself, Chen Changming deliberately put on an ordinary black bamboo hat, quietly pushed open the door and went out. After finding no one around, he activated Dragon Glide Step and quickly walked out of the alley.
When Chen Changming was hospitalized, he deliberately rented a secluded courtyard, hoping to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention.
Chen Changming knew very well that in today's chaotic world, if one was not careful, one could easily be targeted.
Donglai City is smaller than Lingyun City, with a smaller population and only four or five shops on the streets.
He deliberately ignored Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Chen Changming's gaze fell on the signboard of a business.
The signboard reads " Four Seas Merchant Alliance " in large characters.
"It is said that the Four Seas Merchant Alliance is just as powerful as the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion..."
Chen Changming thought to himself.
Although he intended to join the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, he slipped and ended up in a small trading company called Ruyi Pavilion.
He first needs to buy some healing pills, which he can do at the Ruyi Pavilion.
A small trading company like Foundation Establishment Ruyi Pavilion n't have such a sought-after and precious elixir as the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Chen Changming didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. If he bought both Healing Pill and Foundation Establishment, it would easily attract the covetous eyes of others.
By buying from two different places, he was trying to diversify the risks as much as possible.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?"
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Ruyi Pavilion, a young waiter greeted me with a smile.
"Do you have any high-quality Golden Spear Medicine? And any medicines that can greatly replenish your vital energy?"
Chen Changming spoke frankly.
"Yes, I have."
The young waiter chuckled and led Chen Changming inside, saying as they walked, "Our best 'Golden Spear Medicine' is Golden Dew Powder, twenty Spirit Stone a bottle. As for replenishing vital energy, sir, you can purchase Foundation-Cultivating Pill, ten pills a bottle, fifty Spirit Stone a bottle."
Can you make it cheaper?
Chen Changming asked tentatively.
"If you wish to purchase five or more bottles of Foundation-Cultivating Pill, I can sell them to you forty-five Spirit Stone per bottle."
The young man said.
Remembering that his Senior Sister was very weak, Chen Changming silently calculated in his mind and said, "I want to buy ten bottles. Can you sell them to me forty Spirit Stone per bottle?"
"Please wait a moment, sir, while I go ask the innkeeper."
The young man turned and ran away.
Chen Changming waited quietly, his gaze sweeping across the room. There were very few guests in the Ruyi Pavilion; he was the only one there.
Business doesn't seem to be doing very well.
The young waiter ran over with a tray in his hand, on which were eleven small bottles.
"Sir, the shopkeeper said it's possible."
The young waiter chuckled.
Seeing the unique markings on the small bottles, Chen Changming opened two bottles, looked at them, and then handed over four hundred and twenty Spirit Stone.
After leaving Ruyi Pavilion, Chen Changming headed towards the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
"This person is quite wealthy and powerful..."
The manager of the Ruyi Pavilion stood by the second-floor window, watching Chen Changming's retreating figure. He thoughtfully said to the man beside him, "Keep an eye on him. See if he's injured or if his friend is."
"Understood, shopkeeper."
A middle-aged man at the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Level 10 nodded.
However, the next moment...
The shopkeeper's expression changed, and he abruptly waved his hand, saying in a deep voice, "No need, this person has joined the Four Seas Merchant Alliance."
The middle-aged man frowned.
Ruyi Pavilion is a shady business, but in terms of sheer ruthlessness, it can't compare to the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
Any cultivator from outside the region, without any foundation or reputation, will be targeted once they join the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
There are only two consequences for being targeted by the Four Seas Merchant Alliance: at best, all their valuables will be stolen; at worst, they will be killed.
Donglai City is located on the border, so none of the merchants here are clean.
Even the renowned Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and Four Seas Merchant Alliance frequently engage in unethical business practices within Donglai City.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?"
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, a young shop assistant came out to greet me.
Chen Changming didn't say anything, and stepped inside.
He glanced at it.
The Four Seas Merchant Alliance was deserted, and business seemed to be slow.
Do you have Foundation Establishment?
Chen Changming asked.
