45: The Secret of the Unsuccessful Method

The heavy rain came as quickly as it left, stopping in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Qin Feng exuded surging Spiritual Qi fluctuations all over his body, and he had a more profound aura than before, clearly having reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Realm!

In his Qi Sea, there was now a clear and dense spring of water, containing extremely pure Spiritual Qi, and his Divine Sense had also become more tangible; even without opening his eyes, he could clearly 'see' things within three feet of him.

“Is this the feeling of the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

Qin Feng opened his eyes, feeling the changes after his Breakthrough, his heart filled with excitement.

He walked out of the Immortal Cave.

Outside, the sun was bright, and the entire Wo Niu Mountain was enveloped in dense Spiritual Qi, with the medicinal herbs in the medicinal field vigorously absorbing this Spiritual Qi.

The faster-growing medicinal herbs were already two-inch-tall green sprouts, and even the weeds on the ground had grown to half a person's height in a very short time.

“The Five Emperors Qi Guiding Art truly lives up to its name as an Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique; it even attracted a spiritual rain during my Breakthrough.”

Feeling the change in the environment, Qin Feng was slightly shocked, but he also knew that this Spiritual Qi was attracted by his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough and would eventually dissipate.

“This Immortal Master has already achieved Foundation Establishment; how can my Immortal Cave be so humble!”

Feeling the abundant Spiritual Qi within his body, Qin Feng was full of confidence and already dared to call himself an Immortal Master.

Leaving the mountain peak.

Seeing Ding Shuli standing not far away, observing Wo Niu Mountain, Qin Feng ignored her, directly took out a Wood Spirit Boat, and flew towards the Iron Mountain Market.

He still had thirty-one Wood Spirit Boats left in his Storage Pouch, and Qin Feng planned to buy more on this trip to Iron Mountain Market, doing his best to equip himself.

For example, for a flying Magical Artifact, he would make it to the extreme.

And for the Fire Snake Talisman, he would synthesize it until it could threaten various powerful cultivators!

In addition, Cultivation Techniques, Formations, Magical Artifacts, Magic Treasures… everything had to be upgraded!

An hour later, Qin Feng, wearing his self-synthesized Earth Rank High Grade black robe, appeared in the Iron Mountain Market.

Other people's Magical Artifacts had names, so Qin Feng simply named his black robe the Concealing Heaven Robe.

This time, Qin Feng did not go to Qi Yuan Pavilion but directly went to Tongxian Hall, the largest business in Iron Mountain Market.

Upon entering, a cacophony of sounds immediately assaulted him.

The entire Tongxian Hall covered a vast area, with various items displayed in different sections, as massive as the warehouse of a large Sect.

“Esteemed Immortal Master, are you selling or buying?”

Qin Feng waited for a long time before a servant boy finally had time to attend to him.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, one could use the squeezed Spiritual Qi to control and emit different sounds. Qin Feng pondered for a moment and directly chose Wang Teng's voice:

“I want to buy something.”

After speaking, Qin Feng directly handed over the list he had already written, which stated ninety-six Yellow Rank Low Grade Wood Spirit Boats and one hundred twenty-eight sets of Primary Spirit Gathering Arrays.

Seeing the contents of the list, the servant boy immediately realized that this was someone from a large Sect coming to procure supplies. His smile instantly became much more profound, and he respectfully said:

“Immortal Master, please follow me.”

After speaking, he led Qin Feng into a private room. Tongxian Hall had five or six such private rooms.

Inside sat a woman in a red dress. Seeing the contents of the list, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she said:

“These items are quite numerous, but we only need an hour to prepare them. Fellow Daoist, if you have no objections, I will have someone prepare the goods.”

“How many Spirit Stones do these items cost?”

“Approximately two million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”

Qin Feng nodded, paid one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones as a deposit, and then directly left Tongxian Hall.

“Spirit Stones are spent so damn fast!”

Three million Spirit Stones were almost spent in one go, but earning money was also very easy for Qin Feng.

He rented a room in an inn beside the street and then swept up the spirit fruits from several stalls, all of the same variety.

Sixteen ordinary fruits could be synthesized into one hundred-year spirit fruit. The total inventory from several stalls added up to over a hundred fruits.

After returning to the inn, Qin Feng immediately began batch synthesis.

Ten-year spirit fruit, hundred-year spirit fruit, fire spirit fruit, ten-year fire spirit fruit…

Qin Feng only stopped when he synthesized a thousand-year fire spirit fruit.

【Thousand-Year fire spirit fruit: Can improve Realm and enhance Foundation after consumption, with a chance to comprehend the Fire Spirit Dao Body.

Has been synthesized to its limit, no further synthesis possible.】

A few small lines of text appeared in his gaze towards the fire spirit fruit, indicating that no further synthesis was possible.

“I thought I could synthesize them infinitely.”

Qin Feng sighed. He had originally planned to make two ten-thousand-year fire spirit fruits to earn a fortune, but he didn't expect that synthesizing to a thousand-year spirit fruit was already the limit.

However, Qin Feng also suspected that it was because the Foundation of these spirit fruits was too low; perhaps if he directly used fire spirit fruit for synthesis, he could reach a higher level.

On the table, there were five red, translucent, fist-sized fruits.

These fruits glowed red all over, as if magma was slowly flowing inside, but they smelled of a clear sweetness.

A hundred-year fire spirit fruit could sell for three hundred thousand Spirit Stones; a thousand-year fire spirit fruit was not simply ten times that price.

Something with a chance to comprehend the Fire Spirit Dao Body had a fatal attraction even for some Nascent Soul old monsters.

“This stuff is pretty good. I'll sell it first, then make some more.”

He directly put the five spirit fruits into his Storage Pouch and then leisurely walked towards Tongxian Hall.

After this busy period, almost exactly an hour had passed.

When he arrived at Tongxian Hall again.

A servant boy was already waiting at the entrance to receive people. Seeing Qin Feng approach, the servant boy immediately led him into the private room.

Inside was still the woman in the red dress, with a lukewarm smile on her face, holding a dark red Storage Pouch.

Only after Qin Feng approached did she push the Storage Pouch from the table towards him, saying indifferently:

“Fellow Daoist, all the items you requested have been prepared. If you find no issues, you may settle the bill.”

He took the Storage Pouch and swept it with his Divine Sense; inside, Wood Spirit Boats and Primary Spirit Gathering Arrays were neatly arranged, the number only more, not less, clearly indicating some were given as gifts.

Qin Feng did not rush to settle the bill and asked again: “Can I use treasures to pay here?”

“Yes, you can.”

“Then see how much this is worth.”

A fist-sized, translucent red fruit emitting a clear, sweet fragrance instantly appeared in Qin Feng's hand and was placed on the table.

The moment she saw this spirit fruit, the woman's eyes immediately showed a look of surprise, and she asked Qin Feng uncertainly: “A thousand-year fire spirit fruit?”

“Mm.”

A flush appeared on the woman's face. She carefully took it in her hand to examine it closely and then took out tools to test its Spiritual Qi.

After confirming it was genuine, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and with a charming smile, she said:

“Immortal Master, if you use this fire spirit fruit to settle the bill, our Tongxian Hall will at least give you an additional eight thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

Converted, this meant the spirit fruit sold for eleven million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which was already a very good price.

Feeling the other party's sincerity, Qin Feng said indifferently: “No rush, I still want to buy some things.”

“What does the Master wish to buy? Our Tongxian Hall currently has several Earth Rank Magical Artifacts. If you are interested, I will immediately have someone bring them over for you to see.”

Having witnessed his financial strength, the woman's attitude had changed repeatedly.

Qin Feng asked indifferently: “Do you have Cultivation Techniques?”

“Cultivation Techniques… we do have some, but the highest-grade Cultivation Technique is only Earth Rank Elementary…”

The other party wanted to introduce other Cultivation Techniques, but Qin Feng waved his hand to interrupt her.

“I need a large quantity, preferably ones that can be Cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage or higher Realms. The more, the better!”

The woman asked with a bewildered expression: “Does the Master want a large quantity of Cultivation Techniques or… a large quantity of the same Cultivation Technique?”

“The same.”

Hearing this, the woman became even more certain that the person in front of her was the head of a large Sect or a rising new Sect. She quickly said:

“Please come with me to the warehouse, Master, where you can clearly see the quantity and types.”

Upon entering Tongxian Hall's warehouse, Qin Feng instantly understood why the Cultivation Techniques he had copied couldn't be synthesized.

Because the Cultivation Technique books and scrolls here all carried a faint, profound aura, as if the creators of the Cultivation Techniques had left their will imprinted on these items.

The stronger one's Divine Sense, the clearer one could perceive it.
