Chapter 969 - 969 953 Clue_2

Chapter 969: Chapter 953: Clue_2 Chapter 969: Chapter 953: Clue_2 “Senior has discerning eyes!” What else could Li Zhirui say?

The old woman snorted disdainfully and said, “As an alchemist, you must have some spirit seeds in your possession, right? Bring out all four hundred of your spirit seeds, and I’ll exchange them for the spirit seeds of these three pill recipes.”

Li Zhirui’s eyes immediately filled with joy, for the spiritual objects needed for the Hundred Herbs Pill were numerous, but the highest grade among them was only a fourth-order spiritual object.

But the three pill recipes he had just chosen were fifth and sixth-order recipes, so naturally, the grades of the required spiritual objects couldn’t be low.

“Less nonsense,” the old woman said impatiently.

“Yes, yes, please wait a moment, senior,” Li Zhirui immediately said and cast his divine sense into his space, searching for those four hundred types of spirit seeds in his specially established spirit seed warehouse, of which he took at least a thousand of each type.

Then he pretended to transfer them from his storage magical treasure to a smaller storage bag before handing it to the old woman.

“You’re quite generous, kid.”

Seeing that the number of spirit seeds was not small, the old woman nodded in satisfaction and said, “Since you’ve taken out four pill recipes, choose one more pill recipe.”

“I choose the Spirit Communication Pill Prescription.”

This was not a precious pill specifically for spirit beasts to consume but a fifth-order precious pill that could accelerate the cultivation speed of Nascent Soul cultivators.

After arriving in the Primal Spirit Realm, Li Zhirui was unable to refine the universal Chaos Primordial Qi Pill anymore!

Because there was a lack of Chaotic Spiritual Energy!

The world’s membrane in this realm was exceptionally firm, incomparable to the Profound Origin Realm, rendering the Ascension Void Array unable to send people to The Void, and thus incapable of collecting Chaotic Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, in this realm, the spiritual energy was rich and the laws manifested clearly; even without the boost from the Primal Qi Pill, the cultivation speed for Nascent Soul could still be maintained at a relatively fast pace.

This was also why Li Zhirui initially did not choose the Spirit Communication Pill; he was worried he wouldn’t have enough spirit stones and planned to use the Beauty Pill and the Flower Skin Pill to earn spirit stones before purchasing a pill recipe.

It should be noted that Li Zhirui had been to the Wood Spirit Sect in Wanzhu State, the leading alchemist sect, and had some understanding of the pill recipes they controlled; he knew that they lacked both the Beauty Pill and Flower Skin Pill, two types of precious pills for maintaining beauty.

One can imagine these two pill recipes wouldn’t be of low value.

However, now that there was an opportunity to obtain the Spirit Communication Pill for free, he naturally couldn’t miss it.

“If you want any pill recipes in the future, you can look for me. Even pill recipes for the Great Vehicle and Tribulation Transcending realms, I have quite a few,” the old woman said.

Li Zhirui immediately got up to bow and said, “Junior has noted it, I won’t disturb senior any further.”

“After you leave, go to the third shop on the left. It’s rare to encounter a kid who flew up from a Minor Thousand World; I don’t want you to die so soon.”

The moment he walked out of the shop, the entire place vanished into thin air.

But seeing that the cultivators around were calm, Li Zhirui had a faint understanding in his heart; this must be a unique way of closing a shop in the underground city.

At this moment, he also understood the last remark from the old woman.

Nearly all the cultivators on the street looked over, and the gazes fixed on Li Zhirui were full of greed.

Li Zhirui did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the old woman’s instructions, quickly entering the shop she mentioned.

“Which old crone sent you?”

An unkempt and twitchy old man said, “You’re covered in the scent of medicine! Who else could it be but that old crone?”

“What do you have that’s worth that old crone’s favor? She even pointed out a way for you to live.”

Li Zhirui hesitated and said, “Junior comes from a certain Minor Thousand World and is also an alchemist.”

“No wonder, that old crone took a fancy to your pill recipes and spirit seeds.”

The old man finally lifted his head, scrutinizing Li Zhirui seriously. The more he looked, the more furrowed his brow became, and his expression turned increasingly solemn.

Half an hour later, he suddenly smiled and said, “Interesting, I, the old man, can’t see through your qi fortune and destiny.”

Hearing this, Li Zhirui’s eyes lit up, and he bowed respectfully, asking, “Junior has a request.”

“Let’s hear it, but I’m not as easy to deal with as that old crone,” he said, perhaps due to his uniqueness or the old man’s own demeanor; either way, he did not refuse.

“I’d like to ask senior to divine the whereabouts of a cultivation technique and how to obtain it.”

The old man gestured for Li Zhirui to continue, “That technique is called the ‘Myriad Spirits Scripture’.”

“Do you have any good wine in your hand?”

“Yes, I do!”

Li Zhirui didn’t drink much, but in order not to waste Spiritual Objects, he brewed a great deal of Spiritual Wine. And truth be told, after years of maturation, some of the Spiritual Wines indeed tasted exceptionally good.

He casually took out a jar of Spiritual Wine for the elder to taste.

“Not bad, but not enough.” Since the quality wasn’t up to par, they would make up for it with quantity.

“Don’t worry, elder, I have several hundred jars of Spiritual Wine of similar quality, but each with a distinct flavor,” Li Zhirui said confidently.

“Then wait here.”

With that, the elder didn’t pay any more attention to Li Zhirui and headed straight for the backyard.

About half an hour later, the elder came out looking somewhat drained of energy and said, “The ‘Myriad Spirits Scripture’ only contains methods up to the Great Vehicle Realm. There are none for Tribulation Transcendence or the subsequent Immortal Realm.”

“There are quite a few powers with the ‘Myriad Spirits Scripture’ cultivation technique, such as the Devil Race, the Sea Clan, and the adjacent powers. The Cave Abyss Sect has it, and if you want to obtain it, it’s not without means.”

But what it was specifically, the elder didn’t elaborate.

Li Zhirui could only pour him more Spiritual Wine and respectfully offered him a Storage Bag filled with various types of Spiritual Wine.

“You’re quite sensible.”

The elder nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of Spiritual Wine, and then said, “The Cave Abyss Sect will set up a task list for outsiders. As long as you complete a certain number and accumulate enough points, you can exchange them for the ‘Myriad Spirits Scripture’.”

“If you think that’s too slow and prone to accidents, you can go to Liubo Immortal City. It’s a city designed especially for auctions and trade.”

Li Zhirui was very happy to get the answer and bowed again in gratitude, “Thank you, elder!”

“You should leave through the side door.”

Of course, he followed the instructions and left the shop through the side door. It was a very narrow and quiet alley that no one would notice his departure.

“How interesting, a little Void Refinement cultivator whom even I can’t probe for Qi Fortune and fate. What kind of surprise will he bring to this world?” The elder looked at Li Zhirui’s receding figure, a hint of a smile in his eyes as if anticipating something.

Li Zhirui left the underground city in a hurry, intending to go to Liubo Immortal City to see whether he could trade Spiritual Stones or other Spiritual Objects to get what he needed.

Because he was filled with hope, his pace quickened considerably, and it wasn’t long before he left the Immortal City.

But the path ahead was not smooth sailing!

Not far from the Immortal City, a group of cultivators surrounded Li Zhirui.

At first, he thought about fighting them, but after seeing their cultivation levels clearly, he immediately escaped into the space.

Several were in the Late Stage of Refinement Void, and two were Combined Body Cultivators!

They were not opponents Li Zhirui could contend with.

At the same time, he couldn’t understand why, with such formidable strength, they chose to be Robbing Cultivators, whose lives were always at risk and who could meet sudden demise without warning.

“Where did he go?”

Li Zhirui’s sudden disappearance shocked the Robbing Cultivators as they quickly expanded their Divine Sense, trying to find his presence.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t find any trace of Li Zhirui, as if what they had seen earlier was just an illusion, as if he never existed.

“Damn it! Haunted by a ghost! How could a living cultivator simply vanish into thin air?”

It was understandable for one person to be mistaken, but for all of them to be mistaken? Impossible!

Yet, such a thing happened right before their eyes.

They searched again, unwilling to give up, hoping to find traces of some Divine Power, Secret Technique, or Spiritual Object, but found nothing and eventually had to leave.

“No wonder this is Cave Abyss State!” Li Zhirui exclaimed from within the space.

Cultivators in the Shanyuan State seldom encountered Refinement Void or Combined Body Cultivators, but here, a group of cultivators relying on robbery had such levels of cultivation!

This showed just how high the standard of cultivation was in the Cave Abyss State.
