The main plan was still focused on refining mana and enhancing his own magic weapon. Without strength, how could one protect the path to longevity?
Days passed by, and another April came to an end.
Chen Xun and the big black ox were always busy, living a fulfilling life. They rushed down the mountain to attend the final auction.
"Old Ox, let's go; we're bound to find some big gains this time!"
"Moo moo!!"
"Hahaha."
Chen Xun and the big black ox raced through the mountain trails, not even needing any fancy footwork. Even their straw hats behind them kept flying off, they were so joyful.
Occasionally, passing cultivators would see them and fall into contemplation.
Tai Gu Palace.
They arrived as scheduled, full of ambition and courage. Once again, they stepped into the hall.
One day and one night later.
Two figures returned in defeat, leaving early with gloomy faces. After missing out on a spiritual herb due to cultivation last time, they hadn't encountered one since.
Chen Xun panted heavily, looking back with anger.
"Damn it, Tai Gu Palace, we'll meet again in a hundred years! Next time, we'll be back!"
"Moo~~!"
The big black ox snorted heavily, standing up in anger. Tai Gu Palace hadn't given them any face.
"Old Ox, let's go!"
"Moo!"
The two figures turned and headed home in anger without buying anything, losing another thousand spiritual stones for nothing.
However, as they passed by the Ink Feather Pavilion shop, Chen Xun suddenly stopped. This shop was so spacious, it seemed to cover an area of half a square mile. It was also seven stories tall, with continuous greetings inside and a steady stream of cultivators coming and going, especially on the first floor, where most people gathered.
The big black ox looked up at Chen Xun.
"Old Ox, let's spend some money. Do you already know the materials for the array diagram?"
"Moo~"
The big black ox kept tossing its head. It had been looking at that array diagram every day and even thought about modifying it itself. What belonged to others was always theirs.
"Let's spend it." Chen Xun folded his hands behind his back, his gaze slightly focused.
"Moo!"
The big black ox followed Chen Xun directly into the shop, first scanning through the first floor to see if there were any bargains.
Chen Xun, revealing his Golden Core cultivation base, went straight to the second floor, where he was immediately greeted by two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Their enthusiastic appearance made Chen Xun speechless. They almost asked him if he wanted to apply for a credit card, subtly hinting at additional special services.
This Ink Feather Pavilion's business style deserved all the spiritual stones it earned!
"Hehehe..."
Chen Xun felt quite comfortable being flattered like this, but when they tried to make him spend freely, he immediately changed his attitude, carefully selecting and bargaining.
In the end, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were helpless. Even a Golden Core cultivator came out from inside the pavilion. Little did they know that Chen Xun would soon engage them in a verbal battle.
"Friend, this Crystal is extremely difficult to condense under very harsh conditions, and its effects are endless. Twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones per ounce, and I guarantee it."
"When I went to the auction, this thing was not suitable for the occasion." Chen Xun shook his head indifferently, showing no desire to buy. "I've inquired about this item before in different pavilions..."
"Please wait, friend."
The Golden Core cultivator's pupils slightly widened. This person's knowledge was not small; he had compared so many shops. "But the price is determined by the pavilion."
"
