Half an hour later, Xu Yan slowly walked out of the Formation Pavilion.
He had spent a full twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones to secure the Ancient Remnant Formation.
That was only because the Ancient Remnant Formation had no defensive or offensive capabilities whatsoever. Otherwise, it would never have been so cheap. Whether formations or other Spirit Treasures, anything that reached the third tier underwent a qualitative transformation.
With the Ancient Remnant Formation in hand, the stone weighing on his heart finally fell away. Otherwise, he would constantly face the risk of that old fellow probing him with divine sense.
After leaving the Formation Pavilion, Xu Yan began browsing the Black Market. It truly lived up to its reputation as the largest cultivation market within ten thousand li: he found spirit beast essence blood at two stalls.
After some bargaining, he successfully purchased both portions of Spirit Beast Essence Blood for nine thousand six hundred low-grade spirit stones.
That gave him three kinds of Spirit Beast Essence Blood. Once he gathered the other three, he could attempt to cultivate the Ancient Demon Slave Talisman.
Success would give him another trump card. Moreover, he had an exceedingly wild idea that he could only attempt to put into practice after successfully cultivating the Ancient Demon Slave Talisman.
Aside from that, he also found Cave-Mystery Iron Essence in a shop. There were only six jin, but he bought all of it for three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
"Unfortunately, there's no Jade Zhi Golden Ginseng in this Black Market."
Xu Yan sighed softly. Spirit Treasures capable of replenishing a cultivator's vitality rarely made their way into circulation. A cultivator who obtained such a treasure would only consider selling it if they urgently needed spirit stones.
Browsing the entire Black Market took nearly a day.
