A month later, the female cultivator Meng Qingyi had sent came to purchase spirit talismans.
She also brought Li Ping a list of items available in exchange for military merits.
Li Ping knew that over the past month, the Immortal City had suffered several more demon beast attacks. During the worst of them, the Outer City had nearly fallen, forcing the Immortal City's guardian formation to direct most of its power at the low-tier demon beasts.
This had left Windmist True Person's azure python without support in battle. The Blazing Arrow Eagle had pounced on it, tearing through its scales with sharp talons and injuring it.
Had Windmist True Person not come to its rescue in time, the azure python might well have been killed outright by the Blazing Arrow Eagle.
Li Ping could not help growing worried about the Immortal City's situation. After all, if the demon beasts really breached the city, he might also find himself in danger.
He thought that if something went wrong and he had to flee for his life, it would be best to have a high-grade defensive magic artifact to protect himself.
After handing fifteen second-tier lower-grade spirit talismans to the female cultivator, Li Ping took the jade slip she offered and carefully examined the items available for exchange.
Since the items available for military merits were updated in real time, the female cultivator recorded Li Ping's 750 military merits, then quietly waited beside him as he looked through the list.
Once Li Ping finished, she would have to take the jade slip back so the cultivator responsible could check the inventory and add or remove items from the list.
At the very top of the exchange list in the jade slip was the Foundation Establishment Pill. One pill cost 3,000 military merits.
