Giant Whale City.
A few hundred miles in radius, itâs the closest Immortal City to Yanyue Immortal Sect.
For thousands of miles all around, small sect disciples and loose cultivators come here to exchange what they have and need.
Giant Whale City is run jointly by five families: the Yu Family, Li Family, Zhang Family, Liao Family, and Situ Family. Each family has a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment sitting in town.
Inside Giant Whale City.
At the entrance of the Spirit Pill Pavilion.
Stood a medium-built man, short-bearded and slender, a middle-aged Confucian cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
This man was Lin Changâsheng, who had just used the Bone Transformation Technique.
Right now.
He was Alchemist Zhang Han, preparing to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills to raise his cultivation experience points, hoping to advance to Foundation Establishment Second Layer soon.
"Daoist Qin, once we buy the pills, letâs go see what all the fuss is about!"
"I was thinking the same thing. They say that Yu Kun Divine Monarchâs Divine Sense is unmatched. Back then, as a loose cultivator, he was called the strongest Golden Core! If only we could get our hands on his Divine Sense cultivation technique!"
Just then, Lin Changâsheng overheard the two talking nearby.
"Yu Kun Divine Monarch mastered the Refining God Technique back in the day? Such powerful Divine Sense?"
"If I could get that Divine Sense technique, wouldnât that be..."
"Everyone wants a chance like that, but showing up early doesnât guarantee youâll get it!"
Lin Changâsheng immediately decided to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills and a cultivation technique first, then head to Yu Kun Divine Monarchâs cave mansion.
Based on what Lin Changâsheng knewâ
Having a powerful Divine Sense doesnât just give an edge in combat, itâs a huge benefit when breaking through to new realms too!
Yu Kun Divine Monarch became the top Golden Core three hundred years ago, and it was largely thanks to his formidable Divine Sense!
The Spirit Pill Pavilion was bustling with business, cultivators coming and going, and more than a dozen beautiful young female pill assistants working the hall.
"Greetings, Senior. May I ask what kind of pill youâre looking for?"
Lin Changâsheng walked into the Spirit Pill Pavilion. A pill assistant at Qi Refining Fourth Layer, with a curvy figure like a peach, stepped up and asked enthusiastically.
"Iâd like to buy some Yuan Condensing Pills."
Lin Changâsheng replied in a deep voice.
"Of course. Our Yuan Condensing Pills are the best quality in Giant Whale City. Thirty-two spirit stones apiece. How many would you like?"
The pill assistant asked warmly.
"Give me twenty for now."
Lin Changâsheng took out a storage bag and handed it over, packed with 640 spirit stones.
For now, he didnât have the pill formula for the Yuan Condensing Pills, so he could only buy pills to boost his experience points.
After all, progress in cultivation shouldnât stall.
"Certainly! Please hold on a moment."
The pill assistant nodded, took the storage bag, and went to fetch the Yuan Condensing Pills. Soon, she brought back four porcelain bottles and set them in front of Lin Changâsheng, saying, "Senior, each bottle contains five pills. Please check."
"Mm."
Lin Changâsheng counted; exactly twenty pills.
Just then, Lin Changâsheng sensed someone watching him. He turned and saw a thin, middle-aged man with the cultivation of Qi Refining Ninth Layer Peak. When the man saw Lin Changâsheng notice him, he immediately looked away and pretended to be shopping for pills at the counter.
Lin Changâsheng gave the thin middle-aged man a cold glance, grabbed the pills and his empty storage bag from the assistant, and headed out the door.
"Greed! Itâs in human nature!"
Walking down the street, Lin Changâsheng had already sensed that the thin middle-aged man was trailing him from afar, and couldnât help but sneer to himself.
That guy thinks Lin Changâsheng is just a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Peak cultivator. Little does he know heâs tailing a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Spirit Cultivation Inn.
Room 3.
Lin Changâsheng sat inside with a bundle of grass on the table. He held a sickle in his left hand, cutting the grass.
Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience +1!
Cyan Wood Essence Locking Technique experience +1!
......
Red notifications kept popping up on his panel.
"Really persistentâhe chased me all the way to the inn!"
Lin Changâsheng sensed the thin man turn and leave after seeing him check into the Spirit Cultivation Inn. Lin Changâsheng got up and quietly followed the man out.
If that guyâs got his sights set on me, itâs time to take the initiative and rob him first!
Perfectâhe just paid for all those Yuan Condensing Pills I bought.
