510: The former

Hearing what Li Feixian said, the person hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to exchange with Spirit Stones directly. The price was reasonable, not too high.

Li Feixian readily took out the Spirit Stones and exchanged with him.

The transaction process was very simple, with no issues.

Afterward, Li Feixian returned to his state of comprehending Divine Abilities, Cultivation Techniques, and Pills, Talismans, Weapons, and Arrays.

With the help of the one dream flower, Li Feixian made slight improvements in all three areas.

After refining the spiritual objects in his hand, Li Feixian also put away the Heavenly Yang Divine Fire from the orange gold cauldron.

"These auxiliary materials have all been refined. Once the trade fair ends, I can directly refine Magic Treasures," Li Feixian said with a smile, looking at the Scarlet Yang Gold that had been quenched multiple times.

With this item and several other auxiliary spiritual objects, Li Feixian's speed in refining Top-Grade defensive Magic Treasures would be much faster.

"I wonder if the scales of the two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts will be auctioned. If they are, I can try to bid for them to refine a Magic Treasure-grade Dharma robe for myself," Li Feixian recalled what his Revered Master had told him earlier.

This auction, in order to increase its influence, would also feature the decomposed Physical Bodies of the two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts killed previously, which would be put up for auction.

The Golden Rooster Demon Emperor's scales were not of a very high Rank and had not reached tier 4. Nascent Soul Cultivators probably wouldn't participate much in the bidding.

If he could acquire them, he could try to refine a Top-Grade Magic Treasure-level Dharma robe.

This would not only solve the risk of his clothes being destroyed and him being exposed after using Law, Heaven, Image, Earth, which causes his body to enlarge, but also enhance his defensive power.

The defensive power of a Top-Grade Dharma robe was not much different from that of a Top-Grade defensive Magic Treasure.

If this were truly the case, Li Feixian would then have multiple means of self-defense: a Peak Golden Core Physical Body, a Top-Grade defensive Magic Treasure, and a Top-Grade Dharma robe.

Perhaps even some Early-stage Yuanying Cultivators would find it difficult to break through his defense.

One month before the Immortal City Trade Fair, some acquaintances of Li Feixian arrived at the Li family's residence.

"Greetings, Elders. It's been a long time," Li Feixian maintained a polite demeanor upon seeing Jin Ge and Jin Yuan.

He did not act arrogant simply because his current cultivation was higher than theirs.

"Indeed, it has been a long time. I was truly shocked to hear that Fellow Daoist Li killed a Demon Emperor. I never imagined Fellow Daoist possessed such strength; it's truly remarkable," Jin Ge said respectfully.

His cultivation had now reached Peak Golden Core eighth layer, and it wouldn't be long before he could advance to Golden Core ninth layer.

Moreover, it seemed he still had a good chance of advancing to Peak Golden Core.

However, whether he had a chance to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage was uncertain.

Li Feixian vaguely remembered that this person's Lifespan had already reached over six hundred years, which was quite old for a Golden Core cultivator.

Jin Ge was also unlucky; he spent too much time on the Bottleneck between Early Golden Core and Middle Stage Golden Core.

This Bottleneck directly cost him a hundred years of his life.

And after he advanced to Middle Stage Golden Core, due to Sect reasons, he did not Cultivate properly during this Middle Stage Golden Core phase.

He also spent over a hundred years until Li Feixian appeared, stabilized the situation within the Golden Light Sect and Jinguang Country, and repelled the Yunxi Sect.

Only then were they able to free themselves and hand over other miscellaneous affairs to the other Golden Core cultivators of the Sect.

And because of this, they finally had some time to Cultivate.

Therefore, Jin Ge's cultivation speed in the later stages of the Golden Core Stage did not decrease much compared to the earlier stages; in fact, it even increased slightly.

As for Jin Yuan, his cultivation was inherently very slow, always steady and without too many outstanding achievements.

He was now also approaching six hundred years of age, and his cultivation had reached Golden Core eighth layer, but it was slightly lower than Jin Ge's.

It might take him fifty or sixty years to Cultivate just at the Golden Core eighth layer Realm.

So, in Li Feixian's opinion, the chances of these two advancing to Nascent Soul were almost nonexistent.

"The two of us are also here to take advantage of this trade fair to socialize more. The number of times we leave the Sect in the future might not be many," Jin Ge said with a hint of sadness.

They would likely remain in the Sect from now on, dedicating themselves entirely to cultivation, even gradually letting go of Sect affairs.

"No matter how hard they try, the Golden Light Sect's Spiritual Vein is only tier 3 Medium Grade, which is already stretched thin for the Golden Light Sect, which has more than ten Golden Core cultivators.

It is likely that many Golden Core cultivators will need to rely on Spirit Stones for cultivation," Li Feixian thought to himself.

When he first saw the Golden Light Sect's Jinling Mountain, Li Feixian still felt the Spiritual Qi was rich and the Aura extraordinary.

Now, looking back, a tier 3 Medium Grade spiritual mountain was merely that.

The Golden Light Sect's development over the years has been focused on Cultivators, without cultivating new Spiritual Veins. Aside from a tier 3 Low Grade Spiritual Vein in the south, there are no other places for cultivation.

"That's good. Cultivators should prioritize cultivation. If you both advance to Peak Golden Core early, you still have a chance to advance to Nascent Soul," Li Feixian said comfortingly.

"It's a luxury. As for breaking through to Nascent Soul, if I can Cultivate to Peak Golden Core and live for eight hundred years, I'll be very satisfied," Jin Ge said with a sigh.

He had a clear understanding of himself and his situation.

"We came here this time with a request. Fellow Daoist Li's current status is extraordinary, and his connections in the Immortal City are quite extensive, so we can only turn to Fellow Daoist Li for help," Jin Yuan said with difficulty.

"Oh? What is it that troubles you two Fellow Daoists so much?" Li Feixian inquired.

Without benefits, if the matter was difficult, Li Feixian would certainly not agree; that was his standard.

"You must be aware of our cultivation levels, so we would like to request some Medicinal Pills that can enhance cultivation.

Or the tier 3 spirit peach that Fellow Daoist Li once sold. This would help us speed up our cultivation.

Perhaps we can advance to Peak Golden Core before our Lifespan runs out," the two pleaded.

They were unwilling to wait too long and still wanted to take a gamble. If they could advance to Peak Golden Core even one day earlier, they would also have a chance to attempt to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage before their Lifespan ran out.

This situation is quite common for many Golden Core cultivators.

After all, on the Dao path, one must always strive. If successful, it's like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, ascending to heaven in one step, as some do get lucky.

If they fail, it also resolves a lingering obsession in their hearts, and even if they pass away, they can feel a little better.

"There should be many such spiritual objects at this auction. You two can also purchase them at the auction then," Li Feixian said with a smile.

"We were just thinking that it would be good to purchase more such spiritual objects so that we wouldn't be caught off guard if something unexpected happened and we had no way to deal with it," Jin Ge said with a smile.

Li Feixian knew best what they were thinking.
