Qin Ming collected all the spirit materials needed to refine the Core Formation Pill.
"Senior Long, excluding the deposit you paid earlier, you still need to pay twelve thousand eight hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones," Aunt Long said with a beaming smile.
Qin Ming nodded, his expression barely changing.
The Spirit Stones he had obtained from Linghu Yang's and Old Yan's Storage Bags were enough to cover the cost.
Given his current wealth, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Murder and arson truly did earn one a golden belt.
He then handed the remaining Spirit Stones to Aunt Long.
It was worth it for the sake of purchasing these Tier 3 spirit materials.
The transaction was complete.
Qin Ming had achieved his goal and had no interest in joining the secret realm expedition.
Thus, he also planned to return to Wei Kingdom.
Elsewhere.
Huangfu Qi arrived at another private room, where three or four cultivators were discussing matters.
The moment he entered, everyone in the room turned their gazes toward him.
"Fellow Daoists, I've decided to cancel this plan for the time being."
His words left everyone present greatly surprised.
"Brother Huangfu, has something happened?"
"That's right. From what I understand, the Lake Tai Ruins are likely far from simple."
"Did that Long Taoist tell you something?"
"He actually made you back down?"
The cultivators in the room were all astonished as they questioned Huangfu Qi.
"According to Fellow Daoist Long, not only are there no opportunities within the Lake Tai Ruins, but it may even be an extremely dangerous place."
"I've chosen to trust him this once."
"Sigh, Fellow Daoist Huangfu, if you don't go and see it for yourself, how will you know what the situation there is truly like?"
"You shouldn't place complete faith in Long Taoist's one-sided words."
