54: Chapter 55 Qi Refining Level 12

He saw two tall Cultivators standing not far away, their attitudes very respectful.

"A stranger? Did the teleportation actually succeed?" Chen Fan muttered to himself.

"Fellow Daoist, this is a branch of the Guangtong Trading Firm in Daoxuan City. Your teleportation was successful."

The Cultivator on duty before him explained quite politely.

"Good, thank you."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and strode out, quite satisfied with this trading firm.

Daoxuan City is hundreds of thousands of li away from Qingyang Market; if one were to take a flying boat, it would take no less than a month to arrive.

Moreover, there is no branch of the Treasure Pavilion here, so selling Medicinal Pills here would not be discovered.

Upon walking out of the shop, he immediately began to look around with great interest.

The city before him covered a vast area and was divided into an inner city and an outer city.

Above, there were two powerful defensive barriers that shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight.

The streets were crowded with people, an endless stream of traffic; there were Cultivators, Mortals, and massive Spirit Beasts transporting goods.

Various shops were lined up in rows, with Talisman shops, Formation shops, Medicinal Pill shops, Artifact Refining shops, and more—everything one could need.

What was even more interesting was that many Cultivators were setting up stalls on the street to sell their surplus cultivation resources.

In short, it was extremely prosperous, a scene of thriving activity.

"This is the foundation of a Zifu Family."

Chen Fan felt deeply moved, fantasizing about owning such a city one day.

In comparison, Qingyang Market was quite ordinary, and his own Qi Refining Level 11 was not worth mentioning.

After circling the city market, he activated a disguise Talisman and headed towards the largest trading firm.

The name of the shop was extremely imposing; the plaque clearly read "Purple Qi Comes from the East," letting people know at a glance that there was a Zifu Family behind it.

As soon as he entered, he could hear waves of noise; business inside was booming, and Cultivators came in an endless stream.

The shop was divided into three floors: the first floor was specifically for Qi Refining Cultivators, the second for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the third for powerful Purple Mansion Cultivators.

"I wonder what cultivation resources you are looking for, Fellow Daoist?" A beautiful female Cultivator with a bit of baby fat approached him.

"I'll just take a look first."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, his gaze landing on the dazzling array of cultivation resources.

He saw various Magical Artifacts on the counter; not only were there many types, but the quality was also High Grade.

Among them, a small golden pagoda was quite interesting; lightning flashed on it, and arcs of thunder jumped about—it looked powerful at a glance.

"Young Fellow Daoist, this tower is called the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. It was forged by an Artifact Refining Great Master of the Lü family, and its grade is between Medium Grade and High Grade. The price is one thousand Spirit Stones."

"Oh."

Hearing such a high price, Chen Fan immediately lost interest.

His gaze turned to the Pill Furnace not far away, and he was secretly shocked to find that some of them were actually ancient Pill Furnaces.

"Not bad."

Chen Fan nodded repeatedly, and when he noticed a strange mask, he was overjoyed.

Using a Talisman to change one's appearance is inevitably seen through by Cultivators with higher strength, but this mask in front of him was different.

Seeing that the other party was interested, the receptionist female Cultivator hurriedly explained: "This item is a High Grade Magical Artifact; it can not only change one's appearance but also conceal one's aura."

"And the price is..."

After hearing it, Chen Fan gasped; as expected of a High Grade Magical Artifact, it couldn't be obtained without two thousand Spirit Stones.

He looked around and smiled gently: "I wonder if your shop buys Medicinal Pills."

"Medicinal Pills? Are you an Alchemist? However, our shop has very high requirements for Medicinal Pills." The female receptionist's eyes lit up, but after looking him over carefully, she felt a bit disappointed.

"I am naturally aware of this; I am helping a friend sell Medicinal Pills this time."

"Alright, follow me to the private room. I wonder how many patterns your friend's Medicinal Pills have?"

"Seven patterns." Chen Fan transmitted his voice secretly.

Hearing this, the female receptionist smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly: "If that is the case, it will be easier to handle."

He did not wait long in the exquisite private room before the baby-faced female receptionist soon brought a middle-aged Cultivator.

The middle-aged Cultivator glanced over slightly and nodded, without too much curiosity.

Chen Fan waved his long sleeves, and five bottles of Medicinal Pills immediately appeared on the table.

The middle-aged Cultivator examined them carefully one by one and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, they are indeed seven-pattern huntian pills."

Just as he was about to give the price in Spirit Stones, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had discovered something.

He immediately used his fingernail to scrape off a bit of powder and tasted it carefully.

Finally, he stroked his long beard and looked at Chen Fan with nothing but surprise.

"The Impurities inside are very few; one could say there are none at all. I haven't seen Medicinal Pills of such quality in a long time. Our shop will take these Medicinal Pills."

"The Spirit Stones for the purchase are in this Storage Pouch. If you have any other needs, Fellow Daoist, feel free to speak up."

Chen Fan swept his spiritual sense over it slightly and was overjoyed; he hadn't expected the trading firm to be so generous, actually giving him over a thousand Spirit Stones directly.

"Thank you."

Although he was excited inside, his expression remained normal, without any ripples.

"You are too polite."

The middle-aged Cultivator bowed slightly, and when he left, he nodded slightly towards the baby-faced female Cultivator.

"Young Fellow Daoist, if there are any cultivation resources you like, I will go get them for you." The female Cultivator's eyes were brimming with expectation.

"I'll take that small golden pagoda!" Chen Fan thought that he didn't have many powerful Magical Artifacts in his hands, so he decided to buy it.

"Alright, please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist. I will go get it for you right away."

After walking out of the shop, a bitter smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

However, it was fortunate that he knew the market price of seven-pattern Medicinal Pills, and he subsequently headed towards other shops.

After a round, he had nearly two thousand Spirit Stones in his hands.

"The Treasure Pavilion is actually not bad; although they don't keep their word, one can still get freebies."

Then, he bought some Spirit Liquid and rare Spiritual Plants in the market and headed towards the teleportation Formation.

Not long after, he successfully returned to the Qin Family.

In the following period, he continued to refine Medicinal Pills in a low-key manner, buying and selling on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Not only did his Alchemy skills improve significantly, but with the help of a large number of seven-pattern Medicinal Pills and Spirit Liquid, that layer of shackles began to loosen.

Even more surprisingly, Lu Fushuang and Qin Xuan gave birth to babies one after another.

[Ding, detected that the host has added one offspring with Heavenly Spiritual Root Aptitude. Specially rewarded with +5% cultivation value.]

[Ding, detected that mother and child are safe and the offspring was successfully born with single Wind Spiritual Root Aptitude. Specially rewarded with +5% cultivation value.]

"Cultivation value?"

Chen Fan was a bit confused, and just as he was wondering, the wall of shackles that had originally loosened began to show cracks.

"I'm about to break through."

Chen Fan was overjoyed and did not dare to have any delay or hesitation, immediately going into seclusion to Cultivate.

One must know that once the opportunity for a Breakthrough is missed, the shackles in the body will strengthen, and the next Breakthrough will be even more difficult.

Half a month later, a "bang" sound rang out in the cultivation room, and faint white mist emerged all around.

At this moment, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes, his face full of joy.

"I've broken through; I am already at the 12th Level of Qi Refining."

The several Grand Elders of the Qin Family today were merely at this Realm, which greatly increased Chen Fan's confidence.

"In the future, if Cultivators from the Qi family cause trouble, as long as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator does not make a move, no one can bully me."

Thinking of this, Chen Fan laughed uncontrollably. He patted his Storage Pouch, summoned his Flying Sword Magical Artifact, and practiced wantonly.

As his mana became increasingly thick, he was already able to deploy a sword Formation.

Six Flying Swords shuttled back and forth in the air, sometimes defending, sometimes attacking.

Carefully feeling the surging pressure, after consolidating his cultivation for a while longer, he would be able to make demands to the Qin Family.

Just as he was feeling ambitious, a sound transmission Talisman floated in.

After crushing it, Lu Fushuang's voice came from inside: "Husband, the Grand Elder has something to discuss with you."
