Chapter 305: Chapter 198 Fake Golden Core Talisman_3

“Daoist Chen, there’s no need to be disheartened,” Lin Tianming said. “To my knowledge, in a few days at the auction, there will be a Second Order Medium Grade Pill Furnace up for bid. You might try your luck there. With your financial resources, it should not be too difficult to secure the item.”

Hearing this news, Lin Tianming’s face lit up with joy. He hadn’t expected Tang Xiuyuan to be privy to such information, much less to share such favorable news with him.

However, considering the terrifying background of Sky Dragon Pavilion, it wasn’t strange for them to know such information. After all, at the Luoyun Market auction, local powers with some strength generally had access to the list of key auction items before the event, and this unspoken rule was equally applicable to the larger Qianchuan Market.

Regaining his composure, Lin Tianming cupped his hands and bowed to Tang Xiuyuan, “I thank Daoist Tang. I have reaped much today and won’t stay long. I shall come to visit you at the pavilion another day.”

“Farewell.”

Having expressed his intentions to leave, Tang Xiuyuan also stood up and returned the gesture, cupping his hands and bowing. He then watched Lin Tianming leave the Luoyun Pavilion and disappear into the bustling crowd.

Upon leaving Sky Dragon Pavilion, Lin Tianming stood on the bluestone-paved street and observed the cultivators coming and going, lost in thought.

Having frequented the market, he knew that every time there was a gathering, the vending area would be bustling with popularity.

Even though the peddling cultivators had lower cultivation levels and their treasures weren’t considered remarkable by his current standards, they weren’t entirely useless. With some luck, he could find overlooked treasures, although the chances were slim.

However, since the auction wouldn’t start for a few days, and he was idle anyway, he thought a quick stroll wouldn’t take much time.

Making up his mind, Lin Tianming followed the crowd and headed towards the vending area’s plaza.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at the vending plaza and stood at its edge.

Looking out, he saw that the numerous stalls were already crowded with people, and the noisy flow of individuals, mixed with a few shouts from Qi Refining Cultivators, resembled a worldly marketplace.

He glanced over the vending area and then walked in a particular direction, soon arriving at a cultivator’s stall.

Upon seeing Lin Tianming approach, the sitting cultivator immediately stood up and enthusiastically introduced the herbs and ores laid out in front of him.

Lin Tianming didn’t speak and scanned the beast skin that displayed various Spiritual Medicine Materials and ores, showing a look of disappointment.

While the displayed items might be considered decent for Qi Refining Cultivators, they were quite ordinary and even somewhat unnecessary to someone with high standards like himself.

Nevertheless, out of respect for the eager Qi Refining Cultivator’s enthusiasm, he spent several dozen Spirit Stones and bought a few herbs that he could use.

After paying the Spirit Stones, he collected the Spiritual Medicine Materials and, under the grateful gaze of the vendor, headed deeper into the vending area.

In less than half an hour, as he wandered around, he had already covered a large part of the vending area.

During this time, he bought some Spiritual Medicine Materials and a few pieces of Beast Skin, intending to give the latter to Lin Tianyue for Talisman Making, and keeping the former for his own use.

Beyond that, he didn’t come across anything exceptional. Common items were not in short supply for him, but he wasn’t surprised. One couldn’t always be lucky, nor could one expect to encounter great finds every time.

He stood at the edge of the vending area and sighed. Glancing at the scorching sun in the sky, he headed back to his Cave Mansion Courtyard.

It wasn’t long before he returned to the Cave Mansion Courtyard.

Only Lin Xingyao was on duty at the courtyard; Lin Xingping was cultivating, and the other clan members had been taken out by Lin Tianfeng to enjoy themselves.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the on-duty Lin Xingyao, he planned to refine a portion of the Spiritual Medicine Materials collected from the Luoyun Market as soon as possible, so that after the auction ended, they could quickly return to the Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory.

Resolved, he went straight into the Pill Refining Room.

Sitting in the Pill Refining Room, he looked at the hundreds of portions of Spiritual Medicine Materials, most of which were First Order, with only a small fraction tailored for Second Order Pills.

He habitually exercised his cultivation to regulate his breathing and peak his condition. After making a series of preparations, he started with the more challenging types of materials to refine, leaving the simpler ones to Lin Tianqin and Lin Tianhong.

Before long, the Earth Fire was burning in the Pill Refining Room, and batches of Spiritual Medicine Materials were being broken down and purified.

With practiced ease, a distinct fragrance of elixirs emerged from the Four Symbols Furnace every few half-days, and pill after pill was thus created.
