A week later, early in the morning.
After Luo feng ate a meal of Spirit Sprout Rice, he walked into the courtyard and began practicing Luohan Fist.
Only the sounds of him practicing Luohan Fist remained in the courtyard.
His Luohan Fist had now reached Major Achievement, with every move possessing immense power; he could even barely lift a half-ton boulder, making him an unparalleled master in the mundane world.
However, in the eyes of powerful cultivators, he was merely a low-level Loose Cultivator who knew a bit of mortal martial arts.
After finishing a set of Luohan Fist, he immediately felt refreshed.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't achieved beginner in Snow Treading Without Trace. It seemed there was no hope with his own Comprehension Ability, so he would have to use the enlightenment pearl later.
The reason Luohan Fist reached the Major Achievement Realm so quickly, besides his own efforts, was largely due to Spirit Sprout Rice. Especially after eating Spirit Sprout Rice and then practicing Luohan Fist, his entire body felt incredibly comfortable, like eating ice cream in summer.
However, the cost was that the Spirit Sprout Rice he bought last time was almost all consumed.
Luo feng took out all the Fireball Talismans he had drawn this week, totaling 35. With the help of the enlightenment pearl, the success rate of drawing Fireball Talismans had increased again. Basically, five out of six blank Talismans could be successfully drawn.
This success rate was not inferior even when compared to old Talisman Masters who had been drawing Talismans for many years, Luo feng thought uncertainly.
In fact, many Talisman Masters might not even achieve his success rate.
After tidying up, Luo feng headed straight for a shop in the Qingmu Town. To avoid trouble, he went directly to a well-known Talisman shop in Qingmu Town, which was said to be run by a Foundation Establishment Family, named Li's Qingyuan Shop.
"The quality of your Fireball Talismans is quite good. Our shop will take them for a total of 30 Spirit Stones. However, we hope, Fellow Daoist, that if you have Talismans of this quality in the future, you will prioritize us," an old man said with a smile.
"Certainly, certainly," Luo feng replied with a smile.
This was one or two Spirit Stones more than Luo feng's expectation, so he naturally had no complaints. Although haggling might have yielded one or two more Spirit Stones, since it had already met his psychological expectation, he didn't want to bother, and he was really not good at bargaining.
Luo feng, carrying a package, hurried back to his residence. He didn't relax until he returned home. There was no way he could carry the huge sum of thirty Spirit Stones without being nervous.
It would be troublesome if a strong person targeted him. Next time, he would sell them in batches, Luo feng thought to himself.
Then Luo feng took some Spirit Stones and went to buy Spirit Sprout Rice, blank Talismans, and other items.
These things were mostly consumed within a week.
Another three days passed. With the help of the enlightenment pearl, Snow Treading Without Trace finally reached the Beginner stage. However, this movement technique had already shown its power; even at the beginner level, Luo feng's speed had increased by two layers.
Now he could run away even faster.
However, the Cultivation of Profound Water Art still hadn't progressed much. At this rate, Luo feng felt it would take at least a year to breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage Three.
"Why don't I get some Medicinal Pills to Cultivate?" This thought suddenly popped into Luo feng's mind.
Only with strength could he avoid living in fear every day.
With his current strength, possessing this many Spirit Stones was already the limit. If he had more, it would probably be unsafe. Now, whenever he went out, he always felt like someone was watching him.
Since his Luohan Fist reached Major Achievement, his senses had become much sharper. Although he didn't know exactly who was watching him, he believed his senses wouldn't be wrong.
For safety, he basically didn't go out at night. During night Cultivation, he maintained a certain level of vigilance. That Low Grade Spiritual Artifact was placed where he could easily reach it.
He even kept some Fireball Talismans as backup, in case someone had malicious intentions.
Even with the patrol of the Qingmu Town's law enforcement cultivators, the entire street was so large that if the robbers acted quickly, the law enforcement cultivators would probably only arrive in time to collect his corpse.
Moreover, placing one's safety in the hands of others was an extremely wrong thing to do, especially in a world where power belonged to oneself.
Carrying a few Fireball Talismans and touching the Soul Gathering Banner placed on his chest, Luo feng finally felt a little sense of security. After locking the door, he walked towards one of the few Medicinal Pill shops in the Qingmu Town.
"Qingmu Medicinal Pill Shop," Luo feng murmured the name of the Medicinal Pill shop in front of him and walked in.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what you need?" an old man walked up and asked with a smile.
"Excuse me, do you have any Medicinal Pills suitable for the Early Qi Refinement Stage, preferably for Qi Refining Stage Two?" Luo feng sensed that the old man in front of him was actually a Late-Stage Qi Refinement cultivator, so he dared not be negligent and asked respectfully.
"Naturally, we do."
After saying that, the old man in front of him took out three bottles of Medicinal Pills.
Pointing to the bottle on the left, he introduced: "This is Spirit Cleansing Pill, a common Medicinal Pill for the Early Qi Refinement Stage. It costs one Spirit Stone per pill, with ten pills per bottle."
"The one in the middle is the Spirit Source Pill, also a Medicinal Pill for the Early Qi Refinement Stage, but it's easier to refine. It sells for one and a half Spirit Stones per pill, with six pills per bottle."
"The last bottle contains the water spirit pill, suitable for cultivators who Cultivate water-attribute Cultivation Techniques. It's refined from a first-tier Medium Grade Profound Water Herb. One pill is comparable to one and a half Spirit Cleansing Pills, making it one of the best Medicinal Pills for cultivators of water-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Of course, the price is also slightly higher at two Spirit Stones per pill, with nine pills per bottle."
After speaking, the old man quietly waited for Luo feng to make a decision.
Luo feng only had ten Spirit Stones on him now, so there wasn't much to choose from. Although the water spirit pill might have better effects,
he hadn't tried it yet, and it was a bit expensive for him now. It was better to buy Spirit Cleansing Pills first and try their effects.
"Please give me ten Spirit Cleansing Pills," Luo feng said respectfully.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist, here are ten Spirit Cleansing Pills. Please keep them safe," the old man smiled slightly after hearing this, put away the other two bottles, and handed the bottle containing the Spirit Cleansing Pills to Luo feng.
Luo feng took out Spirit Stones from various parts of his body. For safety, it was reasonable to hide them in multiple places.
The old man was not surprised; he had seen even more exaggerated cases than Luo feng's and quietly waited for him.
Luo feng gave an embarrassed smile, handed the Spirit Stones to the old man, and then put the bottle containing the Spirit Cleansing Pills into his in arms.
After leaving the Qingmu Medicinal Pill Shop, he vigilantly observed his surroundings. Seeing no unusual activity, he quickly rushed back to his residence.
As evening arrived, Luo feng took out a Spirit Cleansing Pill, intending to test its effects.
He poured a green Medicinal Pill from the bottle, brought it to his nose, and could still smell a faint fragrance.
After a brief observation, he put the Spirit Cleansing Pill into his mouth. The medicinal power immediately dissolved upon entry. Luo feng dared not be negligent and immediately began to circulate the Profound Water Art.
Two hours later, Luo feng opened his eyes. As expected of a Medicinal Pill, it was comparable to nearly ten days of his own meditation. Of course, his proficient-level Profound Water Art also played a significant role.
