I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"Alright, I’ll accept the Communication Token."

Zhou Changwang nodded and took the Communication Token.

Then, he didn’t linger for long and was about to take his leave.

Seeing this, Shen Xinyue quickly said, "Senior, I wonder if you have any need for spiritual materials for alchemy. As the Pavilion Master of Shuiyun Pavilion, I know some Spirit Plant Masters who could perhaps supply you with some materials."

"Not in the short term.

If there’s a need, I won’t hesitate to ask."

Zhou Changwang pondered for a moment, still shook his head and said.

Right now, all he’s thinking about is entering the Black Market at the end of the month to find Wang Tianshuo, exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, and then quickly cultivate the various Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects in the Spirit Field to success, and smoothly refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

For now, he truly hasn’t planned on refining any other Spirit Pills.

As he walked out of Shuiyun Pavilion, Zhou Changwang was about to head out of the Marketplace when suddenly a thought struck him.

He was being followed.

Though he hasn’t broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, his Spiritual Power is at perfection, his Spiritual Sense is strong, and his spiritual acuity is sharp, giving him a sense akin to a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it arrives, sensing danger unheard and unseen, and avoiding it.

Thus, ordinary tracking methods are utterly ineffective on him.

As he walked normally down the street, he almost instantly realized someone was following him.

Just as he was about to respond, the person behind quickly approached, "Daoist, Daoist, please wait!"

Zhou Changwang turned around cautiously as the person caught up, "What is it?"

The person who approached was also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Fourth Level of Foundation Establishment, Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Greetings Daoist, I am Lai Changsheng, nice to meet you.

I wonder if you would be interested in having a chat with me at the Mist Rain Tower ahead?"

Lai Changsheng, a middle-aged cultivator, said with a slight smile looking at Zhou Changwang.

"I don’t believe we’re acquainted, Fellow Daoist Lai, so there’s obviously nothing to talk about."

Zhou Changwang frowned and shook his head in refusal.

He thought to himself, indeed, the Lai Family couldn’t sit still.

But it’s understandable.

The Lai Family had made a massive investment in this suppression, and just when it was about to succeed, Kunpeng Daoist suddenly emerged and disrupted his carefully crafted scheme. Naturally, he wouldn’t be satisfied.

That’s why he’s coming to see me personally.

"I know you are an outsider cultivator and might not be aware of the situation in the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

You might also be unaware of the grievances between our Lai Family and Shuiyun Pavilion.

I don’t hold it against you for this.

And since my cultivation is slightly higher than yours, as a senior, I’d like to discuss and explore the various cultivation clans, powers, and the strength and depth of each Foundation Establishment cultivator with you.

Of course, the most important point is, I believe our Lai Family should be a more suitable partner for you than those women from Shuiyun Pavilion, don’t you think?"

Lai Changsheng smiled slightly, looking confident as he spoke.

"Oh?"

Zhou Changwang glanced at him indifferently.

"This way, Daoist?"

Lai Changsheng perked up and quickly made an inviting gesture.

"There’s no need, there’s a tea stand here, let’s just talk here."

Zhou Changwang shook his head, then leisurely went to a tea stand and said to the owner, "Just bring some tea and snacks, I’m hungry."

And then he sat down on his own.

The tea stand was also run by cultivators.

The tea was Spirit Tea, and the snacks were made from Spirit Grain and Spirit Rice, not only filling the stomach but also quite delicious.

However, because their target customers were mainly Low-Tier cultivators or even mortal martial artists, they could only earn dozens or at most a hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones daily.

Faced with a Foundation Establishment cultivator taking a seat, the voice of the Qi Cultivation Third-Layer cultivator running the stand trembled, "P-please, take your time, I-I’ll bring it right away."

Lai Changsheng’s face darkened.

With his status, when had he ever eaten at such a roadside stand? Even when he first started cultivating, he was the Young Master of the Lai Family, with a high status.

However, after some thought, he didn’t walk away, instead seated himself across.

He subtly cast a Sound Insulation Technique and said, "Kunpeng Daoist, I am truly sincere.

No matter what price Shuiyun Pavilion offers, our Lai Family can offer you a better deal for the Youthful Appearance Pill in your hands.

What do you think?"

"Not interested.

I am happy working with Pavilion Master Shen, why would I want to work with you?

If all you’re going to discuss is this, then you’re wasting your breath."

Zhou Changwang shook his head coolly and said.

Just then, the owner cautiously placed a pot of Spirit Tea and a large platter of various snacks on the table, careful not to interrupt their conversation.

He couldn’t hear anything.

He only vaguely felt that the elder across seemed somewhat agitated and angry, while the seemingly young elder before him remained calm and aloof, having an air of one detached from worldly affairs.

"Kunpeng Daoist.

At Shuiyun Pavilion, a Youthful Appearance Pill sells for four hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones; I’m sure the price they pay you is less than four hundred.

Thus, I can offer you four hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per pill to purchase from you, selling at a loss, how about that?

As long as you are willing to terminate your collaboration with Shuiyun Pavilion.

Additionally, our Lai Family is willing to recruit you as an Honored Guest Elder, with a status nearly equal to mine.

As an Honored Guest Elder, not only will you receive an annual salary of three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, but you could also purchase various spiritual materials and treasures through our Lai Family at low prices... All you need to do is stay at our Lai Family estate and focus on alchemy without having to worry about any other troubles."
