He needed to refine second-tier Beast-Feeding Pills.
Li Ping had no choice but to leave seclusion temporarily and visit the Market Ward to purchase the medicinal herbs he needed.
Because of Miao Rou, he now felt rather disgusted with the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Although she had ultimately died to his Blazing Fire Ring, he still could not forget how she had set him up. Thus, disguised as a cultivator surnamed Li, Li Ping bypassed the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and went to the Jade Cliff Palace instead.
Upon seeing the broad, portly Zhuang Yu, Li Ping immediately produced a list of the spirit herbs he needed. He also asked whether the shop had any Talisman Treasures or high-grade poisonous substances for sale.
Talisman Treasures were formidable weapons in battles between Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. In his last great battle with the Demon Cultivator Liu Wusheng, Li Ping had relied on the might of a Talisman Treasure to forcibly kill that Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator despite his many tricks.
As for the high-grade poisonous substances, those were meant for the Blood Rakshasa Banner.
The more poisonous substances he refined into this supreme-grade magic artifact, the more potent the blood-eroding poison that spread from the banner would become.
Under Li Ping's meticulous care, the blood-eroding poison had grown considerably stronger since his last battle. Perhaps it could now rob a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator of all fighting strength, paralyzing them on the spot.
To Li Ping's surprise, however, after he produced his list of spirit herbs, Zhuang Yu did not rush to instruct the attendants to fetch them. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, every time you come here, you purchase spirit herbs and sell finished pills. If I'm not mistaken, you must be a high-grade Pill Refiner."
