The Local Cultivators Are Far Too Rude
"Things will sort themselves out when they reach the bridge; just be careful."
Xu Fan responded casually.
The Du Household has cultivated their presence in Black Sea City for a century, possessing far more information than he could ever hope to obtain, and they must have their own methods as well.
It was not something a newcomer like him, a cultivator at the Qi Refinement Fourth Layer, could guide.
"That's true."
"Things at the Foundation Establishment are of no use to me, a Qi Refinement cultivator."
Du Qingluo nodded gently.
Fortunately, her second uncle had already Qi Refinement Perfection. With the help of the Divine Intent Pill and the Minor Restoration Pill, his Divine Sense was greatly enhanced, and his cultivation level improved even further.
He had already gone into seclusion some time ago, but it's unclear whether he will be able to break through successfully.
If the Du Household had a second Foundation Establishment, the current targeting of the Fang and Li families would all turn into a dark cloud.
The Du Household's influence in Black Sea City will inevitably increase in the future.
According to her father's guess, the Fang and Li families secretly joined forces because they did not want her family to produce a second Foundation Establishment.
Another point is that Brother Wu's good relationship with the Du Household has somewhat disrupted the balance.
Let's go check out the Rogue Cultivator market.
"It's been difficult to go to sea lately, so many Rogue Cultivator are choosing to sell some of their treasures; perhaps they can find some decent Taiyin cultivation Cultivation Method."
As Du Qingluo spoke, she took the initiative to lead the way.
Before long, they arrived at a bustling market in the city.
Most of the Rogue Cultivator sat on the ground, hawking their wares, seemingly no different from ordinary mortals.
The stall displayed various bottles and jars, as well as spiritual herbs spirit medicine, internal Law Artifact, talismans, Jade Slip, and other items related to cultivation.
"Are there any Foundation Establishment cultivator's spells or talismans here?"
After buying a ten-cubic-meter Storage Bag, Xu Fan glanced sideways and asked.
Judging from his current cultivation level, he is far from being a match for a Grandmaster of the Primal Core realm.
His Qi Refinement Refining cultivation, combined with his martial arts realm, allowed him to be nearly invincible among the Divine Intention Great Grandmaster.
However, it is still far inferior to the Primal Core.
Although the cultivation systems of the two realms cannot be completely aligned, some things can still be estimated.
One must at least establish Immortal Foundation to be unafraid of Primal Core Soul cultivator.
Regardless of whether one is a cultivator from the Land of Wu or from the Divine Continent of the Vast Land, the higher one's cultivation level, the more pronounced the gap between major realms becomes.
"Most of the cultivators here are Qi Refinement cultivators, how could they possibly be able to refine Foundation Establishment talismans?"
"Even if you have one, it's a trump card for survival; you wouldn't sell it easily."
Du Qingluo chuckled, glancing sideways at him with a smile:
"However, if Brother Wu needs it, I can ask my grandfather for a Foundation Establishment talisman."
"The Foundation Establishment Talisman is difficult to refine, so it won't be cheap."
As for purchasing Foundation Establishment Talismans, basically any wealthy Qi Refinement cultivator will try to buy them.
This might be a lifesaver at some point.
Only a direct descendant of Foundation Establishment Aristocratic Clan like her, with her talent, would be bestowed with a Foundation Establishment talisman.
"Then thank you very much, Miss Qingluo."
Xu Fan was overjoyed:
"I will expedite the refining of the Divine Intent Pill and the Minor Restoration Pill, and I will first trade with your Du Household."
The Du Household patriarch was a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage who had also mastered the Fire Virtue Cultivation Method.
Today, the imagery of metal, fire, and the sun is active in the world, and the power of talismans will increase accordingly.
A Foundation Establishment talisman is a valuable trump card, whether in Land of Wu or the Divine Continent of the Vast Land.
"Brother Wu and my family are on good terms, so we will naturally do our best to meet your needs."
Seeing this, Du Qingluo's smile deepened; this was exactly the effect she wanted.
The problem isn't that Wu Song won't trouble the Du Household, but that he has no need of the Du Household.
The two chatted and looked around, and finally found a fourth-grade Taiyin Kung Cultivation Method at a stall.
Just as he was about to step forward to ask the price, someone beat him to it and took the Jade Slip slip in their hand.
"I want this Taiyin Cultivation Method."
The speaker was a robust, middle-aged man with a rugged and fierce appearance, and his aura exuded the power of Fire Virtue.
His cultivation level wasn't low, at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, which was rare among Rogue Cultivator.
"Hehe, if you two both want it, why don't you each make an offer, and the highest bidder gets it?"
Seeing this, the stall owner rubbed his hands together with a smile, looking like he was about to rip people off.
"Are you new here? Don't you know the rules?"
"Want me to teach you?"
Luo Quan's eyes widened, his voice booming like a drum, his breath undisguised.
"Master Quan, please calm Rogue Cultivator have it tough!"
The stall owner trembled in fright and quickly put on a smiling face.
"Besides, you're using your power to intimidate Miss Du in front of her; it's not easy to explain that, is it?"
He certainly recognized the two people in front of him; one was the eldest daughter of the Du Household, one of the two beauties of Black Sea City.
Luo Quan, with his cultivation at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer of Rogue Cultivator and had become close to the Fang Household.
But aren't the three families prohibited from causing trouble at the market?
Why are they resorting to forced buying and selling?
The situation had finally come to a point where people were vying for it, forcing him to bite the bullet and reason with them.
"Um?"
Are you teaching me how to do things?
Luo Quan instantly became displeased, his face turning cold, and his Qi Refinement Seventh Layer level ruthlessly locked onto him.
The overwhelming pressure made the stall owner afraid to say anything, and he looked to the side pleadingly.
"How dare you! At the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer, you dare to disregard the rules of Black Sea City?"
Du Qingluo's face was as cold as ice. She hadn't expected a Rogue Cultivator to be so bold as to act like this right in front of her.
In an instant, she realized the problem.
This person is probably not here for the Taiyin Cultivation Method; their purpose lies with them.
Are the Fang Household and Li Household behind this?
Only then could they be so bold.
"Miss Du, please don't misunderstand. It's just that I've recently become very interested in the Taiyin Cultivation Method, which is why I'm a bit eager to learn more."
Luo Quan turned around with a smile and pointed to the stall owner next to him:
"This is my good friend. He promised to give me this fourth-grade Taiyin Cultivation Method, but he forgot about it."
This nonchalant attitude, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, clearly indicates that they have something to rely on.
This infuriated Du Qingluo, who was about to notify the city patrol team to come.
"Oh?"
"That can't be right?"
"I remember he was talking about me being his friend."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan smiled, grabbed the stall owner by the collar, and grinned:
Am I right?
Soon after entering the market, he noticed that he was being watched by two groups of people, but fortunately, they were all Qi Refinement Refining cultivators and didn't care much.
Now it seems that someone thought he was easy to bully?
His Divine Sense was powerful, and he already knew that someone was watching them from the restaurant not far away.
Since you don't follow the rules, then Master Xu won't either.
In the Divine Continent of the Vast Land, he could be cautious and yielding.
But here, haha, do you think your life is enough to fight Master Xu?
"Yes, yes, this brother is right."
The stall owner, not daring to get involved and only wanting to leave as quickly as possible, nodded hurriedly.
With Miss Du accompanying him, this person must be quite powerful; whatever he says goes.
However, since the Taiyin Cultivation Method is useless, it's best to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Isn't that right?"
"These local monks are so rude! Look how scared they've made my brother."
Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction and put the person down.
"You go first, I'll handle things here."
