    It was evident that Li Shiming had his thoughts about eating—spiritual plants used as seasoning held little practical value, yet they required the occupation of spirit fields.

    The final items were seeds of three special spiritual medicines, and upon seeing these seeds, Qiu Tan couldn’t help but look up at Li Shiming.

    “I can’t procure these three types of spiritual medicine seeds for you, but if you really need them, I can try to find them for you. You should be able to purchase them!” said Qiu Tan, though he harbored doubts, he still disclosed the truth.

    He was well aware that these three types of spiritual medicines were resources demanded by the Xuanming Sect, so where could one find these seeds within the Sky Sea Sect?

    However, the war between the Sky Sea Sect and the Xuanming Sect had lasted for many years, with both sides suffering casualties. Many storage bags had also been captured.

    For the Xuanming Sect, the vast majority of resources captured were practically unusable for the cultivators of the Sky Sea Sect.

    What Qiu Tan meant was to try and look among some well-known Sky Sea Sect cultivators he was familiar with. Although these three types of spiritual medicine were also considered precious, he had still heard about them, and the likelihood of finding them was extremely high.

    “Mr. Qiu, I truly appreciate it, might I ask how many spirit stones will be needed?” Li Shiming, hearing that he could directly purchase the spiritual medicine, naturally felt elated, but he had limited spirit stones, and these three types of spiritual medicine were late-stage Qi Refining resources, and he might not have enough spirit stones.

    “If you trust me, Mr. Li, let’s leave 2100 spirit stones for the 2000 catties of Spirit Rice. You take the existing spirit seeds, and I will go to purchase these three types of spiritual medicine. We will refund any excess and make up any shortfall!” Qiu Tan said generously waving his hand.

    Li Shiming rode on a paper crane, a smile on his face, as this trip to the market was quite fruitful.

    He had purchased the necessary spirit plant seeds, sold the surplus Spirit Rice, and even reserved the last three materials needed for the promotion of the copper corpse to an iron corpse.

    He had never imagined that it would go so smoothly. The three materials, which the original owner of the iron corpse in the Xuanming Sect couldn’t procure, were easily accessible in the Sky Sea Sect.

    Qiu Tan was as confident as he had said, and Li Shiming even wondered if Qiu Tan knew exactly who had these three materials.

    With the help of Qiu Tan, Li Shiming was also able to purchase at a low price the talismanic ink materials he needed, as well as the knowledge appropriate for Qi Refining cultivators to master.

    Throughout the process, aside from paying out 2100 spirit stones for the 2000 catties of Spirit Rice, he only spent a little over a hundred spirit stones.

    The most important gain from this trip was establishing a channel with Qiu Tan. Despite owning a spirit plant store, Qiu Tan, in fact, had deep connections with many other shops. Through the channel that was Qiu Tan, whether buying or selling any spiritual objects, all could be transacted through him.

    Leaving Changming Island Market for the first time, Li Shiming was extremely cautious, fearing that he might encounter the situation he had faced at the Loose Cultivator Market previously.

    His first experience going to the market after becoming a cultivator was harrowing. If he hadn’t thrown out the ’thermite grenades,’ his path in cultivation might have ended there.

    The safety of Changming Island Market was not just for show. After leaving the market, he continued flying for two hours without encountering any cultivator’s pursuit.

    the probability of advancement for the cultivator who has never consumed Elixir Pills is one to two times higher than that of the cultivator who has consumed a large number of Elixir Pills. This conclusion comes from many years of research by numerous forces in the Cultivation World.

    However, even though cultivators are aware of the existence of drug resistance, every additional non-top-grade Elixir Pill consumed increases the body’s drug resistance, yet cultivators still use Elixir Pills to enhance their abilities.

    Not every cultivator possesses exceptional innate spirit root seeds that enable effortless cultivation to the peak of Qi Refinement without the aid of Elixir Pills.

    Top-grade Elixir Pills, which do not induce drug resistance due to their uncertain production, are exceedingly rare.

    It is not that Pill Masters do not wish to produce top-grade Elixir Pills, but rather that producing top-grade Elixir Pills is entirely a matter of luck.

    Most Pill Masters create only one or two top-grade Elixir Pills in their lifetime, but when asked how to produce top-grade Elixir Pills, they have no clue, as the process is irreproducible.

    Li Shiming found from the spoils of war that the Elixir Pills from the Hao Family were low-grade First-grade Grain Avoidance Pills, while the Elixir Pills obtained from Xuanming Sect cultivators were Intermediate First Grade Xuan Yin Life Spirit Pills, which are Xuanming Sect cultivators’ auxiliary Elixir Pills for cultivation.

    Even if he was starving, knowing the drawbacks of the low-grade First-grade Grain Avoidance Pills, he would not consume them.

    In the relevant knowledge for Qi Refining cultivators, there is also information about various Magic Artifacts.

    Within the sect, the Magic Artifacts produced by Li Peak are the best, and for sect cultivators, Magic Artifacts are among the few Spiritual Objects that should not be scrimped on, as they relate to the cultivator’s life.

    Therefore, it is strongly recommended in the relevant knowledge that cultivators, once they have accumulated enough good deeds, should first exchange them for a Magic Artifact produced by Li Peak to enhance themselves.

    Seeing this, Li Shiming couldn’t help but take out the Spirit Turtle Shield and look it over again, confirming that there was no mark from Li Peak on it.

    “What a loss!” he couldn’t help but shake his head and mutter to himself.

    He thought of the sincere farewell smile from that old cultivator, of course, it was genuine, as that was the smile one shows after earning a significant amount of Spirit Stones from him!

    “I’ll make do with it for now!” he said, playing with the Spirit Turtle Shield, which he felt wasn’t too bad. Although he was reluctant, he decided not to return to the market to make another purchase.

    Although he still had some Spirit Stones, after inquiring about the prices of top-grade Magic Artifacts and Flying Boats, he realized how poor he was; his Spirit Stones amounted to next to nothing.

    Even if he couldn’t afford a Spirit Boat for the time being, in order to travel quickly across the sea, he needed to replace his paper crane.

    These all required a large amount of Spirit Stones; he still needed to cultivate and had to reserve some Spirit Stones in anticipation for news from Qiu Tan about three types of Spiritual Medicine.
