Chapter 681: Chapter 652: Picking Up the Leak _3

"The key is in the ’earth’ of ’Earth Immortal’! In the Spirit Realm, it’s mainly about management and also building a defensive system... My array techniques and puppet skills all have their place to shine."

"What’s more crucial, the Earth Immortal and the Spirit Realm grow together... If the Spirit Realm of an Earth Immortal flourishes, it can in turn stimulate rapid progress in their cultivation, even to the point of breaking through major thresholds!"

"It seems that, going forward, I need to buy more books on farming, and I can’t neglect my spirit plant farmer skills..."

Fang Xi had long since acquired all the common and uncommon Spiritual Plant Farmer Inheritances found in the Li Gou Immortal City markets, additionally buying a large quantity of seeds.

Basically, if the Minghuan World had spirit seeds for sale, he had backups of them in his possession!

Not only that, but in the Red Sun World, The Nine States, and others, he planned to do the same, even going to the Earth Immortal Realm to make purchases...

"My ’Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm’ should start to build a blueprint now..."

Clad in cyan clothes and carrying a leisurely demeanor, Fang Xi, with his hands clasped behind his back, wandered among the various stalls of individual cultivators.

After buying the items from the shops, he still wasn’t satisfied and prepared to look for any overlooked treasures.

’After all, I’m a Transcendent God cultivator now, and with the broadened perspective and insight from the Earth Immortal Realm... I refuse to believe that I can’t find any good stuff!’

Fang Xi’s eyes were sharp as lightning, scanning over each stall.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of one of the stall owners.

This individual cultivator was a stern-looking young man enveloped in evil Qi; seated cross-legged, with many spiritual instruments and talismans displayed before him, some already broken.

Upon Fang Xi’s arrival, feeling the Core Formation-level magic power from him, the young man didn’t show much panic.

After all, it’s just Core Formation; nowadays in the Fairy City, even Yuan Ying True Monarchs are not uncommon!

"This item..."

Fang Xi squatted down, picking up what looked like a fragment of a talisman, and asked with a smile, "What’s the price?"

This fragment resembled a blackened knife tip, with bloodstains still visible on the blade and an imposing aura of evil Qi, clearly something extraordinary.

"This talisman fragment was something I stumbled upon by chance... It’s incredibly durable, likely containing a treasured material such as ’Ten-thousand-year Profound Iron’..."

The stern young man explained confidently, "If Sir likes it, take it for a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones..."

"High-grade Spirit Stones, huh..."

Fang Xi sighed, it had been a long time since he had seen such a low price.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, he usually paid with top-grade Spirit Stones.

However, a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones for a fragment of a Spirit Communicating Treasure was quite a bargain.

Fang Xi had already identified that this so-called talisman fragment was not just any fragment, nor was it a spiritual treasure, but a fragment of a Spirit Communicating Treasure!

’Who knows how this item broke apart in the past... but there’s definitely a faint sense of its spirit existing, maybe there’s even a spirit inside it still sleeping? If it were picked up by a fledgling cultivator who just started out and somehow woke the spirit, wouldn’t that be like the perfect protagonist treatment?’

Unfortunately for Fang Xi at his current state, he already possessed several complete Spirit Communicating Treasures, so a mere fragment was not particularly remarkable.

But at this moment, he still had to act a little hesitant and pained; otherwise, the stall owner wouldn’t let go so easily and might feel cheated, potentially causing countless problems.

When you’re in the mortal world, you should immerse yourself in it.

This was also a form of cultivation for refining the heart.

"A hundred high-grade Spirit Stones is too expensive, how about ninety?"

He began to try bargaining.

"Ninety..." The stall owner seemed hesitant, "This is a broken treasure, if it were intact, who knows how much it would cost... If Sir finds a skilled talisman forger to extract the main material, perhaps you could make a huge profit..."

"Usually, after the materials have been used to forge talismans and instruments, they are practically wasted..."

Fang Xi shook his head, about to argue, when suddenly a voice came from nearby: "Just a hundred Spirit Stones, I’ll take this fragment."

A rotund man in golden clothes approached from not too far away, dressed in luxurious attire, each finger adorned with various rings, his wrists with bracelets, and his waist jangling with various decorations.

As he walked over, he was surrounded by the glow of treasures, looking very much like a nouveau riche from the Cultivation World.

But Fang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, recognizing that all of these were talisman-level treasures, and even those that weren’t were highly functional spiritual instruments.

As this sparkling and glittering fat man approached, the stall owner couldn’t help but stand up and bow, "It turns out to be Lord Wanbao gracing us with his presence, it is an honor for me..."

This bedazzled fat man turned out to be a Yuan Ying True Monarch, with his cultivation even at the mid-phase.

Fang Xi, not inclined to listen to market gossip, realized that this stall owner knew about a Yuan Ying True Monarch who liked to wander the markets looking for treasures, especially since he practiced the Treasury Eye Skills which made him remarkably accurate in identifying treasures, giving him a huge reputation in Hook Immortal City.

Now that the other party had taken a liking to his talisman fragment, could it be...

The stall owner immediately regretted his position, wanting to raise the price or even refuse to sell, but he didn’t dare to do so in the face of a Yuan Ying True Monarch, hoping instead that Fang Xi would at least start a bidding war, driving the price up so he wouldn’t feel at a loss...

Both men’s thoughts were crystal clear to Fang Xi.

But he had never been particularly keen on this fifth-tier fragment and didn’t want to squabble over it...

He simply smiled faintly, got up, and walked away.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh, "I really don’t have the luck for finding bargains..."

"This Core Formation cultivator is interesting!"
