Chapter 907: Chapter 907: Dead Formula

"Elder Wang, shall we go to the market?" While enjoying tea, an elder called Hans Johnson and several others from River Mountain Sect approached Peter Brown.

Glancing over at them, Peter Brown asked, "Didn’t the City Lord say not to go out?"

"Elder Wang, he meant not to go out and cause trouble. With so many of us together, we can watch out for each other. There shouldn’t be any problems. I heard that they’ve set up a special Cultivation Exchange Market this time, and I’m sure there will be many things we all need. Let’s go and see if we can find some good deals." The elder who spoke was Corey Webster. He was good at socializing, and Peter Brown could chat with him on their way here.

Seeing everyone so eager, Peter Brown was also a bit tempted. He did have Lingcao in his ring, but most of them were from the lower cultivation realm, which he found far inferior in quality compared to those in the Cultivation World. Most of the Lingcao he had were for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, so he thought it might be a good idea to look for some better ones.

"Come on, you have so many cultivation coins, no need to let them go to waste," Corey Webster laughed.

"Alright, let’s go together and see."

With Peter Brown’s agreement, everyone seemed delighted, and the group of five headed out of the inn.

Sun and Moon City was much larger than Qin River City, and there were even more people here. Peter Brown enjoyed the bustling atmosphere as they walked along the streets.

They rented a Spirit Beast Carriage and quickly arrived at the Cultivation Exchange Market.

At first glance, Peter Brown was somewhat astonished. This market was enormous, established with formations. Though there were no buildings and it was an open-air market, there were Night Pearls illuminating the area above it, like an azure sky.

It was an enormous formation, with pearls shining brightly, making the ground feel like daytime.

Looking inside, there were numerous stalls and mountains of materials piled up in some places.

"Everyone, let’s split up and look for the things we need. We’ll contact each other with Sound Recording Jade Slips."

Right after arriving here, Corey Webster’s eyes fixed on a place selling magic treasures, and he left after speaking.

Others also had their own targets and left accordingly.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Peter Brown headed straight for the area selling Lingcao.

A specific area was set up for selling Lingcao, making it very lively. Many people flocked to the Elixirs spot to inquire about them.

Peter Brown glanced at a Jade Spring Grass and compared it with the one he had in his ring. With this comparison, he had to admit that the Lingcao from the Cultivation World was of much higher quality than what he had obtained.

"How much is this Jade Spring Grass?"

"This is a ten-year-old Lingcao. You need to understand that most of these are produced in greenhouses and matured using special agents. This one, however, is purely wild, so the price is naturally higher. You can take it for 10,000 cultivation coins." The young man operating the stall looked shrewd, his eyes fixed on Peter Brown while he spoke.

Peter Brown chuckled, "Why do I smell a peculiar medicine scent then?"

The young man smiled awkwardly, "I didn’t expect you to be an alchemist. Forget I said anything."

Peter Brown laughed, "To be honest, your asking price might scare people off. How about this, I only need some seeds. If they’re suitable, I’ll buy in bulk."

The young man glanced at Peter Brown and quickly replied, "I have all kinds of seeds: ten cultivation coins each. How many types do you want?"

Ten cultivation coins weren’t too expensive, and Peter Brown had expected this price. He chose more than twenty types of seeds he needed and bought them all.

Seeing Peter Brown paying decisively, the young man said, "I see you have just reached the Qi Refining First Layer. I have an Elixir Formula called Gathering Truth Pill here, would you be interested?"

Gathering Truth Pill?

Peter Brown looked at him.

"This is a pill that’s suitable for cultivators below the Qi Refining Fifth Level; I think it suits you."

Peter Brown had never heard of such a formula before and was intrigued, "Show it to me."

The young man took out a jade slip and handed it to Peter Brown, "This is not an ordinary formula. It was obtained by a master from a dangerous place. The jade slip contains instructions and information about the Lingcao required. After you pay, you’ll get the complete formula."

Peter Brown didn’t pay much attention to what he said and took the jade slip to carefully examine it.

The more he looked, the more interested Peter Brown became. The Gathering Truth Pill could further refine one’s True Qi after consumption, compressing the Dantian True Qi even more. It was equivalent to a person at the Qi Refining First Layer having the strength of two or three people at the same level.

It was indeed a good thing, and more importantly, it could inspire Peter Brown’s alchemy skills. Peter Brown believed that as long as he could understand the principle behind this formula, all elixirs he refines in the future would have this ability.

"How much?" Peter Brown asked casually as he looked over it.

"10,000 cultivation coins."

Peter Brown laughed and put down the jade slip, "You’re not honest. Give me a fair price, and I’ll take it, or you can find someone else willing to pay."

"5,000."

Peter Brown held up his fingers, "One hundred."

"2,000."

"One hundred fifty."

The two bargained for a while, and eventually, Peter Brown bought the Elixir Formula for 500 cultivation coins.

Holding the Elixir Formula jade slip, Peter Brown walked around while examining its contents, becoming more and more excited about its potential uses.

"Elder Wang, what Elixir Formula did you buy? You look so happy." Corey Webster suddenly reappeared from somewhere.

"A formula called Gathering Truth Pill."

Hearing this, Corey Webster laughed, "Did you spend a few thousand cultivation coins on it?"

"Five hundred."

Corey Webster laughed again, "Nobody would take this formula even if it was given away for free. I can’t believe you fell for it. You didn’t read the explanation of the Lingcao’s age limit at the end, did you? Regular people can’t get qualified Lingcao for those recipes. We call formulas like these Dead Formulas; they’re worthless to most people."

"Dead Formula?" Peter Brown looked puzzled at Corey Webster.

Corey Webster pulled Peter Brown along, "Come on, I’ll take you to the Dead Formula sales area. There are so many Dead Formulas there, all with age restrictions on Lingcao. They aren’t very useful for most people."

Soon, Peter Brown saw piles of so-called Dead Formula jade slips. As he picked them up one by one and looked at them, his eyes were filled with an indescribable sense of familiarity—it felt like these things were tailor-made for him.
