Chapter 1343: Chapter 548: Alchemy Plan, Luring the Snake Out of the Cave [Request Subscription]_3

This is considered an unspoken rule in the alchemist industry.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun heard her words, he didn’t feel he was at a disadvantage and quickly nodded, saying, “That’s great!”

He then listed several spiritual objects he could use for exchange and handed the list to Luo Qingni.

Upon seeing the list, which included the millennia-old rare herbs such as the 3000-year-old Jade Marrow Ganoderma, the 4000-year-old Phoenix Blood Creeper, Thousand Gold Fruit, and the 3800-year-old Earth Dragon Ginseng, Luo Qingni’s beautiful eyes widened, looking at Zhou Chun with full astonishment.

Although she knew Zhou Chun’s wealth was extraordinary and that he surely possessed some rare millennium treasure medicines, she hadn’t expected Zhou Chun to be so “wealthy and generous.”

Furthermore, even if she were dumb, she’d know these spiritual medicines were surely not the rarest ones Zhou Chun possessed.

“Taoist Friend Zhou, could it be that you’ve obtained a medicine garden left behind by a senior cultivator?”

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Qingni couldn’t help but curiously ask.

“More or less!”

Zhou Chun vaguely replied, not wanting to say more.

He dared not tell Luo Qingni the truth, lest she demand the Jade Talisman that grants access to the Secret Realm Island from him.

Even though, even if he gave her the Jade Talisman, she wouldn’t likely replicate his experience.

Luckily, Luo Qingni remained rational and didn’t press further, merely expressing her envy, “Your luck is truly enviable, Taoist Friend Zhou. With the list you provided, I am quite confident in obtaining the Jade Dew of Porcelain Flower!”

“Then I’ll entrust this matter to Taoist Friend Luo.”

Zhou Chun bowed his hand, entrusting the matter to her.

In the following days, Luo Qingni, upon Zhou Chun’s request, first concocted the Purple Dust Pill.

As it was the first time she crafted such an elixir, the output wasn’t high, with only five pills produced.

Nonetheless, Zhou Chun was very satisfied.

With these five Purple Dust Pills in hand, at the very least, the Zhou Family could potentially add another Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator to their ranks.

Moreover, unlike the Foundation Establishment Pill, such spiritual objects didn’t have to be provided by the family to their clan cultivators.

When used sparingly, the Zhou Family wouldn’t need to worry about providing Purple Mansion Spirit Matters for the next hundred years.

After obtaining the elixir, Zhou Chun quickly left Tianyuan Immortal City and headed straight to the area where the Thunder Cliff Valley sect was located.

The overall strength of Thunder Cliff Valley wasn’t particularly strong in the Great Zhou Kingdom. The sect used to be a medium sect like the Commanding Spirit Sect until the current Supreme Elder, Kuanglei True Person, successfully underwent Nascent Soul Formation, thus elevating it to a significant power.

After Kuanglei True Person reached Nascent Soul Formation, the Wang Family that he came from took charge of Thunder Cliff Valley, gradually transforming the sect into a family-style sect.

Now, the Golden Core Stage cultivators in Thunder Cliff Valley are either Wang Family clan members or sons-in-law, or direct disciples of Kuanglei True Person.

Ordinary disciples of Thunder Cliff Valley wanting to obtain Core Formation resources can either join the Wang Family by marriage or apprentice under a Wang Family Golden Core Stage cultivator.

Such instances of cultivator families overthrowing and annexing sects aren’t uncommon in the Cultivation World, but it’s rare for them to endure long.

Taking Thunder Cliff Valley as an example, once Kuanglei True Person sits in transformation or falls, without him overseeing it, the sect would immediately regress to a medium sect.

By that time, whether the Wang Family can still hold the sect is uncertain.

Even if they could still maintain control, future conflicts between sect disciples and Wang Family disciples would continuously deplete both sides’ strength, leading to simultaneous decline.

But that concern lies far into the future.

At least for now, leveraging Kuanglei True Person’s prestige, the Wang Family of Thunder Cliff Valley is a renowned cultivator family in the Great Zhou Kingdom, earning them respect from many forces.

Being a major force with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators at its helm, Thunder Cliff Valley naturally has its own marketplace.

Minglei Marketplace is the marketplace under Thunder Cliff Valley, not very large, located on a Spirit Mountain about five to six hundred miles from the sect’s main gate. Normally, the cultivators there are mostly Thunder Cliff Valley disciples.

Because the sect is famous for its thunder attribute mystical abilities and spells, Minglei Marketplace often sells some thunder attribute talismans and magic artifacts. Its unique offerings frequently attract cultivators from other regions for visits.

After all, thunder methods are fierce and domineering, significantly more potent than other Five Elements Spells. Having a thunder talisman of the same rank provides a considerable edge in confrontations.

When Zhou Chun arrived at Minglei Marketplace, he had already transformed into a middle-aged man with a mature appearance using the Hundred Illusions Bead and suppressed his cultivation level to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, adopting the name Qi Changfeng.

Minglei Marketplace itself is merely a small regional marketplace, so a cultivator of his level naturally quickly caught the attention of the Thunder Cliff Valley Purple Mansion Phase cultivator overseeing the marketplace.

Upon entering the official shop set up by Thunder Cliff Valley and requesting to purchase a Third Order Thunder Talisman, Zhou Chun smoothly met with Wang Long, a Wang Family’s middle stage Purple Mansion Phase cultivator.

Wang Long was a portly middle-aged man dressed in a golden vestment robe, wearing seven differently colored rings on his ten fingers, each seemingly a magic artifact.

After receiving Zhou Chun in a private room, Wang Long first subtly inquired about Zhou Chun’s origins.

Once he felt he had a sufficient understanding of the situation, he smiled warmly at Zhou Chun and said, “Taoist Friend Qi, the Third Order Thunder Talisman you wish to purchase is currently out of stock. However, if you are sincerely interested, I can request it from my family on your behalf.”
