I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"Fellow Daoist Wang.

Don’t be in such a hurry.

The Foundation Establishment Pill formula you mentioned last time... Is it accurate?

If you can really get it, I am indeed interested."

Zhou Changwang asked quickly upon seeing this.

"Hm?

Fellow Daoist Changsheng also wants the Foundation Establishment Pill formula?

It seems the person behind you is not simple, and their intentions are not small."

Wang Tianshuo was taken aback, and then showed a faint smile.

"Does Fellow Daoist Wang need to investigate backgrounds to sell things?"

Zhou Changwang’s face darkened as he asked coldly.

"Not at all.

But the Foundation Establishment Pill formula is indeed different from the Foundation Condensation Pill formula.

Even for me, obtaining it won’t be easy."

Wang Tianshuo’s expression turned slightly serious, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can help you get the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

But I need a deposit of 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Moreover, the time frame cannot be as quick as the Foundation Condensation Pill formula.

It will take at least three months.

After three months, I will definitely help you get the Foundation Establishment Pill formula."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang was delighted, but he did not show it and quickly asked, "What about the transaction location, is it still the Black Market?

Also, 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones is not a small amount.

How can I be sure you won’t take my Spirit Stones and never return?"

Though they had completed a successful transaction before, one must be cautious.

10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones is much more than the 3,000 before, so he naturally needed to be cautious.

"This Jade Token, called a Substitute Jade Token, is a one-time Defensive Magical Artifact that can withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, worth more than 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

I will leave this Jade Token with you first.

Three months later, I’ll bring back the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, you return this Substitute Jade Token to me, and we’ll complete the transaction as normal, how about that?"

Wang Tianshuo hesitated for a moment, finally gritting his teeth and saying so.

This was the only valuable thing he had left.

A previous encounter had cost him dearly, and he’d lost everything.

That’s why he had no choice but to sell some pill formulas to exchange for Spirit Stones.

After all, pill formulas can be copied, selling them can still bring in Spirit Stones, so he wasn’t really losing anything.

Now, to recoup his losses and obtain enough Spirit Stones, he naturally wanted to push through with this transaction.

"Substitute Jade Token?

Alright!"

Zhou Changwang’s eyes flashed, and he quickly agreed.

He had heard of the Substitute Jade Token, which could indeed withstand a full-force attack from an early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, truly a life-saving treasure.

Even if he exchanged 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones for it, it would not be a loss.

So, without hesitation, he took out 10,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Of course, he also conveniently took the Substitute Jade Token in hand.

After sensing its authenticity briefly, he felt slightly relieved.

Thus, Zhou Changwang bid farewell to Wang Tianshuo and walked slowly into the mission hall.

"Steward Du.

I wonder if there is any news on the task I arranged last time?"

Then, Zhou Changwang quickly found Steward Du of the Black Market, and directly asked.

"The Five Elements Spiritual Objects?"

Cultivators have good memories, and Steward Du immediately recalled the task Zhou Changwang posted last month, replied first, then searched in a Jade Scroll and quickly said, "Actually, last month, a cultivator gave a reply.

Claiming to have news about the Golden Essence.

And this time in the Black Market, there were two more claiming to have news about the Fire of the Earth’s Core and the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil.

The cultivator who brought news about the Golden Essence said that a formal meeting with you is needed before disclosing specific information.

As for the Fire of the Earth’s Core and Profound Yellow Spirit Soil, each piece of information costs 2,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Would you like to obtain it?"

"Golden Essence? Fire of the Earth’s Core? Profound Yellow Spirit Soil?"

Zhou Changwang was slightly startled, not expecting to have three pieces of information related to the Five Elements Spiritual Objects, and he couldn’t help but feel pleasantly surprised. He quickly said, "I want it!"

"According to that cultivator, he once saw the Heart of Earth Fire appear on Tianming Island.

However, the Heart of Earth Fire appeared within volcanic magma, where the internal temperature is extremely high.

Moreover, the Heart of Earth Fire is not stationary, and he had only seen it once three years ago, even after multiple visits, waiting for over half a month once, it had not been seen again.

Therefore, whether the Heart of Earth Fire truly exists is uncertain.

I have the specific location map marked by that Fellow Daoist. After you pay 2,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, this Jade Scroll is yours.

Rest assured, the Jade Scroll has been deliberately sealed with a Restriction, and only the Fellow Daoist who made the mark has seen it.

Our Black Market’s reputation is still trustworthy."

Steward Du flipped his hand to produce a Jade Scroll and quickly said.

Zhou Changwang nodded, confirmed the Restriction was intact, and handed over 2,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even though the truth was uncertain, having some information was better than the previous cluelessness.

"As for the news about the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil..."

Steward Du continued as he saw Zhou Changwang passing another 2,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, smiled, and continued, "Actually, just last month.

A cultivator discovered a Treasure Artifact during a treasure gambling.

According to this cultivator, at the same time the Treasure Artifact was revealed, the soil sealing the Treasure Artifact was not ordinary soil, but exactly the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil you are seeking.

As long as you can find that cultivator from the treasure gambling, there’s a high probability of finding the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil.

This document has the specific information and image of that cultivator provided by the one who gave the news, which should help you."

He then handed over another Jade Scroll.

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang felt a bit strange.

Unexpectedly, the news about the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil stemmed from his own actions.

Does this mean I’m searching for myself?

In the Black Market last time, didn’t he participate in a treasure gambling and obtained a Treasure Artifact, as well as a total of seven Liang of Profound Yellow Spirit Soil?

Because he put away the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil right away, and most cultivators’ attention was on the Treasure Artifact, not many realized the soil was the Profound Yellow Spirit Soil.

Only...

In an instant, he thought of Xu Zhisheng, who had approached him asking for prices, and the Shuiyue Cave cultivator, Gu Qingfeng.

Could it be that one of these two provided the information this time?

But he didn’t delve into it further; he considered the 2,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones a loss.

He had not known beforehand that the source of the news provided was himself.

He had to swallow this silent loss, then asked calmly, "What about the Golden Essence?

Why does that cultivator want a face-to-face conversation?"

"In today’s Black Market, that cultivator did appear and specially approached me.

If Fellow Daoist Changsheng inquires, the agreement is to discuss it after the auction concludes.

Would it be possible for you to wait until our Black Market auction ends?"

Steward Du didn’t hesitate and responded directly.

"Fine! I hope the information is accurate enough."

Zhou Changwang nodded, then glared at Steward Du and said, "Otherwise, it’s not so easy to claim my Spirit Stones."

"Please rest assured.

This cultivator is very powerful, has always had an excellent reputation, and the information must be accurate."

Steward Du explained quickly.
