244: Clues to foundation materials

The next morning, not long after Zhou Luo got up, the courtyard gate was knocked.

Opening it, he found it was Xu Tian.

Today, Xu Tian was wearing a light blue short skirt, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, and beneath the skirt were a pair of snow-white, slender legs.

She looked at Zhou Luo with alluring eyes, and softly said, "Zhou Alchemist, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Not yet," Zhou Luo calmly replied.

Xu Tian scanned the courtyard and chuckled, "Yao Wu sister isn't here, is she?"

"Is there something you need?" Zhou Luo asked back, not answering.

He had always kept his distance from this woman, not to mention what Yao Wu had said yesterday.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Xu Tian seemed unconcerned. She said aggrievedly, "Zhou Alchemist, Yao Wu sister and I have some misunderstandings. Her Senior Brother's death really has nothing to do with me."

Evidently, she had already realized what Yao Wu had said.

However, these were not what Zhou Luo was concerned about. He said indifferently, "I'm not interested in this. If you have nothing else, please leave."

"Zhou Alchemist is so cold," Xu Tian blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly, "Alright, this humble one is here today to ask Zhou Alchemist for help with Alchemy."

"Alchemy?"

Zhou Luo hesitated. It seemed he hadn't told her that he was an Alchemist.

Could it be Geng Feng who revealed it?

Sure enough, the next second Xu Tian explained, "Originally, I wanted to ask Geng Alchemist for Alchemy, but he suddenly had something to do and wasn't home, so he recommended you."

"What Medicinal Pill do you want to refine?" Zhou Luo asked.

"Heart Protection Pill," Xu Tian said directly.

The Heart Protection Pill is a High Grade Medicinal Pill for healing. Its main function is to protect the body's functions, usually used during a Realm Breakthrough to prevent other sequelae from a failed Breakthrough.

"Alright," Zhou Luo did not refuse.

Firstly, Geng Feng seemed very interested in this woman, so he naturally couldn't offend her. Otherwise, if she whispered in his ear, his plans would be ruined.

Moreover, it was just Alchemy, not a big deal.

"Then I'll trouble Zhou Alchemist," Xu Tian smiled and handed over a bag, "Inside is the deposit. I need twenty Heart Protection Pills."

"Okay, come pick them up in five days," Zhou Luo nodded and accepted the bag of Spirit Stones.

Xu Tian then winked at him, "Please Zhou Alchemist, do your best. This humble one will be eternally grateful."

Then she left.

As soon as she left, Wang Lang appeared.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Zhou, your luck with women is not shallow," Wang Lang couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Xu Tian's graceful figure and charming movements.

Zhou Luo glanced at him, "Don't tell me you're here to freeload a meal?"

"Hey, am I that kind of person?" Wang Lang immediately said, dissatisfied, then he added, "Besides, what's wrong with me freeloading a breakfast?"

Zhou Luo turned and walked into the courtyard.

Wang Lang quickly followed, not forgetting to tease, "I'm telling you, that woman Xu Tian is really good, very moist."

"You've tried?" Zhou Luo asked lightly.

"I wish, but I haven't had the chance," Wang Lang said with a helpless expression.

"Then don't you know about Yao Wu's Senior Brother?" Zhou Luo asked back.

"I do, but it's worth dying under a peony flower and being a romantic ghost, it's just a pity she doesn't fancy me," Wang Lang shrugged.

The two had already arrived at the main hall. Zhou Luo sat down and asked, "What exactly do you want from me?"

"Didn't you say you were helping your elder find Foundation Establishment Materials?" Wang Lang said with a smile, "I have a way."

He seemed exceptionally attentive to Zhou Luo, not only helping him clean the courtyard but even helping him find Materials.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Luo's eyes lit up.

If the other party, who had lived in this Immortal City for so long, really had a way, then it would be a good thing.

"Tell me," he asked.

"I have a friend who deals in Materials. As long as you can afford it, he can basically get many Materials," Wang Lang said confidently.

"Black market?"

Zhou Luo instantly thought of a term.

In this era, besides those who openly set up stalls, there was also a black market.

This kind of place was a mixed bag, but the advantage was that it had everything. Some explicitly forbidden items were sold, such as the previous Longevity Pill, evil Cultivation Techniques, and so on.

He hadn't expected Wang Lang to be doing this kind of business in Immortal City.

"You got it right. Shall I take you to see it?" Wang Lang stared at him.

"Okay," Zhou Luo did not refuse.

If he could really buy Foundation Establishment Materials, it wouldn't be a problem to go see the legendary black market. After all, the other party couldn't cause much of a stir in Immortal City.

"Then let's go," Wang Lang said excitedly.

A moment later, Zhou Luo packed his things, left noob at home, and then followed the other party out.

The streets of Immortal City were very prosperous. This was a Holy Land for Loose Cultivators, gathering Immortals, and there were quite a few of them, a constant stream of people, incredibly lively.

Wang Lang led Zhou Luo to a relatively secluded alley. After a series of twists and turns, they arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.

Zhou Luo looked at the courtyard. It seemed ordinary, but it contained a First-Grade High Grade Magic Array. It seemed the owner of this courtyard was not simple.

Wang Lang tapped on the courtyard gate with a rhythmic knock.

After a long time, the courtyard gate opened a crack, and a pair of fierce eyes looked at the two of them.

"Brother Hu, it's me," Wang Lang said with a grin.

The other party saw who it was and pulled open the courtyard gate.

Zhou Luo followed Wang Lang in and only then clearly saw the other party's Face.

It was a burly, fierce-looking middle-aged man. He had a hideous scar on his Face, and a pair of gloomy eyes held a fierce look.

"Xiao Lang, is this guy here to buy something?" Brother Hu looked at Zhou Luo and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, Brother Hu. Didn't you say you had the Foundation Establishment Materials I mentioned earlier? I brought him to take a look," Wang Lang said with a beaming smile.

Last time, after he learned that Zhou Luo was helping his Family elder find Foundation Establishment Materials, he kept an eye out. He hadn't expected to get news so quickly, so he brought Zhou Luo over first thing in the morning.

"Oh, that. You're too late. Those Materials have already been sold to someone else," Brother Hu said casually.

"Ah? So fast?" Wang Lang looked surprised.

Zhou Luo also raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed these Foundation Establishment Materials were indeed hot sellers.

"Hmm."

Brother Hu walked into the main hall, and the two followed him in.

"Brother Hu, if you have any next time, please let me know," Wang Lang said with a chuckle.

"Okay, but I can't guarantee when they'll be available, and you'll have to pay a deposit," Brother Hu stared at Zhou Luo and said directly.

Foundation Establishment Materials were the hottest items. There was no shortage of sales channels. If it weren't for Wang Lang's Face, he wouldn't need to do this at all.

Wang Lang also looked at Zhou Luo.

"How much is the deposit?" Zhou Luo asked.

"First, tell me what Materials you need," Brother Hu sat on the large chair, leaning against the backrest, his expression calm.

Zhou Luo reported several auxiliary Medicinal Pills. He didn't report all of them, as he couldn't guarantee whether the other party had ulterior motives.

After listening, Brother Hu quoted a price, "The deposit is one hundred Spirit Stones. Once I have them, I'll notify you immediately."

"Okay," Zhou Luo nodded.

One hundred Spirit Stones was not a lot, just an extra precaution.

Brother Hu was very satisfied.

"Straightforward."
