235: A businessman from the Evergreen tribe who likes fine wine

With a gentle tap,

Mu Feng once again immersed his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip.

“System Reminder: You have met the requirements to learn the Qing Luo Sword Formation. Do you wish to learn it?”

“Learn!”

Mu Feng was quite excited about the Sword Formation.

“System Reminder: Qing Luo Sword Formation learned successfully. You can check the details on your personal page.”

Perhaps it was due to Mu Feng’s powerful Divine Sense, or perhaps the Sword Formation itself wasn't difficult.

Mu Feng learned it in an instant.

Opening his personal page:

“Name: Mu Feng”

“Realm: Core Formation Stage Initial Phase”

“Physical Body Strength: Foundation Establishment”

“Spiritual Root: Water, Fire, Wood”

“Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Skill, Azure Origin Sword Art (1-9th Layer), Divine Origin Skill, Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Art.”

“Skill: Fireball Technique, Water Binding Technique, Wood Escape, Azure Origin Sword Light, Azure Origin Sword Shield, Sword Shadow Separation Light Technique.”

“Magical Artifact: Azure Dragon Flag, Cloud Stepping Boots.”

“Magic Treasure: Black Emperor Blade, Extreme Lightning Bottle, Blood Magic Robe (Demonic Artifact), Soul Yuan Bowl, Treasure Dropping Flower Basket (ancient treasure), Golden Lightning Arrow (extraordinary treasure).”

“Secret Skill Divine Ability: Eye of Insight, Wind Control Technique, Cold Ice Qi Strength, Limb Rebirth, Dragon Transformation, True Devil Slash, Qing Luo Sword Formation.”

“Charm: 2600 (Charm affects the favorability of Immortal Cave World creatures towards you.)”

“Title: First Core Formation (Can be hidden), First Sword Cultivator (Can be hidden)”

....

Checking the Sword Formation details:

“Qing Luo Sword Formation: Requires at least twelve Magic Treasure Flying Swords to set up. The more Flying Swords, the greater the power. The sword threads formed are indestructible and have the effect of disrupting Divine Sense. Successful deployment allows for easy cross-Realm combat.”

“Twelve Magic Treasure Flying Swords or more.”

“Well, it seems I’ll have to wait until my Lifebound Treasure is refined before I can use it.”

“But the power does look good.”

“Transforming swords into threads, indestructible, and capable of disrupting Divine Sense.”

Although the Sword Formation was successfully learned, it still required twelve Magic Treasure Flying Swords to be used.

This made Mu Feng feel a little depressed.

Fortunately, looking at the introduction,

The power was decent; once deployed, it allowed for easy cross-Realm combat.

This made Mu Feng quite expectant.

Closing the introduction information for the Qing Luo Sword Formation,

Mu Feng then clicked on the new skill on his personal page, Sword Shadow Separation Light Technique, to view its details.

“Sword Shadow Separation Light Technique: Uses Magic Treasure Flying Swords to conjure phantoms identical to the Flying Swords to attack the target. The phantom Flying Swords have the same power as the original Flying Swords. The higher the cultivation, the more sword shadows are formed, with a maximum of 108 phantom Flying Swords.”

“So strong!”

“As expected of a sect’s ultimate technique!”

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

The only regret was probably that he didn’t have a single Flying Sword Magic Treasure on hand… So, he couldn’t use this skill against enemies for now.

Closing his personal page,

Mu Feng then opened his friends page.

There were several red dots on it.

Mu Feng clicked them open.

He saw that Han Yuyan and Li Chenxi had both sent him messages.

Han Yuyan’s message was sent yesterday.

It was about the Medicinal Pill she had promised Mu Feng before.

Han Yuyan.187: “The Medicinal Pill has been refined. Reply when you see this, and I’ll send it to you.”

Mu Feng.186: “1”

Mu Feng casually replied with a “1.”

Consider it an answer.

“I wonder what kind of Medicinal Pill it is.”

Mu Feng waited curiously.

However, after waiting for a while, he didn't see a reply. She was probably exploring a Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Mu Feng didn't wait any longer.

He directly opened Li Chenxi’s chat messages.

Li Chenxi had sent him messages two days ago and today.

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, are you there? Do you have any turtle shell Yao Beast Materials on hand?”

Li Chenxi.186: “Where are you?”

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, are you in seclusion? Why aren’t you replying to my messages?”

These were the messages sent two days ago.

Today’s message had just arrived.

Li Chenxi.186: “Oh my god! Big shot, you’ve reached Core Formation!”

It was clear.

She was shocked by the news of Mu Feng’s successful Core Formation.

It was no wonder.

She, a Heavenly Spiritual Root, had only just barely entered Mid Stage Foundation Establishment.

She had thought she could catch up to Mu Feng’s pace.

But she didn't expect that he was no longer playing at Foundation Establishment with her; he had directly run off to Core Formation.

Mu Feng.186: “Hehe, good luck, I accidentally reached Core Formation.”

With his successful Core Formation, Mu Feng was in a great mood.

He couldn't help but show off to her.

It was nice to brag occasionally.

Her reply was very quick; Mu Feng had just sent his message when Li Chenxi replied.

Clearly, she had been waiting for his response.

Li Chenxi.186: “I’m so jealous, I want that kind of luck too…”

Li Chenxi.186: “Oh, by the way, Big shot, did you see my previous messages?”

After her envy, Li Chenxi brought up her previous messages with Mu Feng.

It seemed she still hadn't gathered all the Materials for the High Grade Black Tortoise Shield manufacturing blueprint she had purchased earlier.

Mu Feng.186: “I actually do. If you want it, I’ll give it to you cheap.”

He hadn’t sold that Green Water Turtle shell he had earlier.

Li Chenxi.186: “That’s truly great! My Black Tortoise Shield finally has a chance!”

Li Chenxi was excited.

Mu Feng.186: “I’ll sell it to you for ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Li Chenxi.186: “???”

Li Chenxi.186: “Big shot, you call that cheap?!”

Mu Feng.186: “Then five Medium Grade is fine too. This is a third-tier Green Water Turtle shell; any less and I’d be losing money.”

Li Chenxi.186: “That’s more like it.”

She could still accept five Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

“System Reminder: Medium Grade Spirit Stone x5”

After clicking to trade,

Mu Feng’s Medium Grade Spirit Stone count increased by five.

He had already gathered more than half of the 100,000 Spirit Stones needed for the upgrade.

He just needed to collect the remaining High-Grade Spirit Stones and Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

And get the Five Elements Spirit Pearls and the last void spirit stone, then he could upgrade his Immortal Cave.

And activate the teleportation array to reach the new map.

Mu Feng was quite excited about the new map.

The transaction was complete.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the other party, Mu Feng closed the chat window.

Stretching lazily,

Mu Feng got out of bed, ready to stretch his limbs.

“Hiss hiss…”

Suddenly, the Little Scorpion’s cries came from the Spiritual Insect Room.

“Little Purple is awake!”

Mu Feng’s eyes lit up.

Ever since the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion had eaten its fill in the Miasma Secret Realm last time, it had been in a state of slumber.

Mu Feng had originally thought he would have to wait a long time.

He didn't expect that as he emerged from his Core Formation seclusion,

The Little Scorpion also woke up.

He wondered what Realm they had reached?

With curiosity,

Mu Feng came to the Spiritual Insect Room.

“Hiss hiss hiss.”

In the room, the awakened Little Scorpion had once again grown several inches, now almost the size of the Little Fox.

Their color had also begun to change from the previous bluish-purple towards a dark purplish-black.

It seemed they were not far from reaching their mature form.

“I wonder how strong they are now.”

“Little Purple, come here!”

Through the Divine Soul contract, Mu Feng called the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion to his side.

Then he picked one up to check its information.

“Name: Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion”

“Realm: Mid Stage Foundation Establishment”

“Introduction: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion ranks 17th on the list of strange Spiritual Insects. Its body is hard, its escape speed is like wind, and it contains potent poison.”

“Skills: Poison Mist, Insect Cry, Devour.”

“Mid Stage Foundation Establishment!”

“And two new skills!”

Mu Feng’s eyes sparkled.

“View skill details.”

“Insect Cry: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion’s mouth can emit a strange cry that disrupts the target’s True Yuan, making them unable to condense True Yuan Magic Power.”

“Devour: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion possesses sharp teeth and can launch Devour attacks on targets.”

“These new skills are good!”

“They can actually disrupt the opponent’s True Yuan!”

Both skills were good.

But what surprised Mu Feng the most was Insect Cry.

It could attack the opponent’s True Yuan, making them unable to condense Magic Power for combat.

This was incredibly powerful.

One must know that True Yuan was the foundation of a Cultivator.

If one couldn't use True Yuan, even a Core Formation Cultivator would be barely stronger than an ordinary person.

The reason why the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion ranked so high among strange Spiritual Insects was largely due to its strange cry talent.

Mu Feng had originally thought that the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion would only learn this skill upon reaching its mature form.

He didn't expect that the Little Scorpion were so promising; they had actually comprehended it ahead of time.

“Not bad, not bad!”

Mu Feng patted the heads of several Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion.

Then he took out some poison wolf flowers from his Storage Pouch for them to eat.

The Little Scorpion had been hungry for several days.

Upon seeing the food, they immediately pounced on it.

Before long, they had devoured all the poison wolf flowers.

“Well, they’re all so destructive, looks like I need to refine Azure鸠 as soon as possible.”

Mu Feng felt that the Silver Moon Fox was already very gluttonous.

He didn't expect the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion to be any less so.

In that case, the Little Lizard was still the best.

A Puppet body, no need for food or drink, very easy to raise.

“Oh, right, I almost forgot to give the Little Lizard those Advanced soul stones!”

Mu Feng slapped his head.

He took out the large batch of Advanced soul stones he had obtained from the Ghost King’s Storage Pouch in the Yin Spirit Land earlier from his Storage Pouch.

It said they could enhance the Puppet’s spirituality.

Mu Feng decided to feed it ten first to see.

“Little Lizard, come here and eat this!”

Mu Feng beckoned.

After the Little Lizard came over, he put those green soul stones into its mouth.

The Little Lizard seemed to know that those green stones would help it.

It opened its large mouth and directly Devoured them.

“System Reminder: The Puppet Lizard has swallowed a large amount of Advanced soul stones, and its Divine Soul has been enhanced.”

“It really works!”

Mu Feng’s eyes lit up.

After keeping a few for backup, he poured the rest into the Little Lizard’s mouth.

“System Reminder: The Puppet Lizard has swallowed a large amount of Advanced soul stones, and its Divine Soul has been enhanced!”

“System Reminder: The Puppet Lizard’s Divine Soul is evolving…”

After continuously eating more than twenty Advanced soul stones, the Little Lizard’s Divine Soul finally began to evolve.

This made Mu Feng very excited.

Mu Feng remembered that the Little Lizard originally had the mental control skill.

However, because the enemies it encountered later became stronger and stronger,

Mental control almost lost its effect.

After this wave of strengthening, he wondered if this skill could be used again.

“Uh, it seems to be taking a bit long.”

“Never mind, I won’t wait. I’ll go explore a Secret Realm first to calm my nerves.”

After waiting for a while,

Mu Feng found that the Little Lizard’s information still showed “Divine Soul evolving.”

He immediately put it into his spirit beast bag.

The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion in the Spiritual Insect Room were also taken in.

After reaching Foundation Establishment and learning new skills,

They also became a major combat force in Mu Feng’s hands.

Mu Feng had also wanted to put the Little Fox in,

But the Little Fox resisted and refused to enter.

So Mu Feng let it be.

Arriving in the main hall,

Mu Feng began to examine the eight Immortal Cave Secret Realm before him.

He was already impatient to demonstrate the changes in his Spells, Magic Treasures, and escape speed after reaching Core Formation.

He focused his attention.

The information of the eight Immortal Cave Secret Realm appeared before his eyes.

“There is a Nascent Soul Stage Mayfly Clan member exploring for treasures in the Immortal Cave Secret Realm ahead. If you can kill him, you can obtain good resources.”

“Special Note: The Mayfly Clan is a large clan in the Immortal Cave World, and they are very protective and vengeful. If possible, it’s best not to provoke them easily. Unless you can instantly kill them and prevent them from reporting, otherwise you will thoroughly stir up a hornet’s nest.”

Mayfly Clan?

A large clan in the Immortal Cave World?

This was the third Immortal Cave race he had encountered.

From the introduction, this thing seemed quite formidable.

Mu Feng had some thoughts when he saw the earlier hint.

But after reading the latter part, he thought about it and decided against it.

No need to take risks.

He skipped it and continued to look at the information for the subsequent Immortal Cave Secret Realm.

“The Secret Realm space on the left has already been explored by someone, but there is still a High Grade Magical Artifact inside that the other party hasn’t discovered.”

“The Immortal Cave Secret Realm on the right is very poor. It is not recommended for you to enter.”

“The Immortal Cave Secret Realm to the north is a lake Secret Realm, and there is a platinum treasure chest inside.”

“The Northwest Secret Realm is a Volcanic Secret Realm, containing many fire-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, if you need them.”

“These two both seem good.”

The North and Northwest Secret Realm.

One contained a platinum treasure chest, and the other contained fire-attribute Heaven And Earth Treasure, which held some attraction for Mu Feng.

“No rush, let’s finish looking at the three to the south first.”

Mu Feng turned his head.

He continued to look at the information for the remaining three Secret Realm spaces to the south.

“There are two teams fighting in the Secret Realm to the south. If you are interested, you can enter and show off; there’s a high probability of gaining the favor of beautiful women.”

“The Southwest Secret Realm has nothing.”

“Oh, it seems there’s an Evergreen Clan Merchant resting in the Southeast Secret Realm. His package contains many treasures, including several of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls you need. However, this Evergreen Clan Merchant is a miser. If you try to tempt him with delicious food like before, you might fail. But don’t worry, you can exchange other things with him, as your Charm value is very high now.”

“By the way, this Evergreen Clan Merchant doesn’t like delicious food, but he loves alcohol, especially fruit wine. If you have some fine wine on hand, the success rate should be quite high.”

“Evergreen Clan Merchant, Five Elements Spirit Pearls!”

Mu Feng’s eyes lit up.

He immediately knew which one to choose.

(Explosive update presented. Tomorrow, if there are still 100 'powering with love' (which is the price of a pack of cigarettes), I will continue with explosive updates.)
