Moreover, the most important thing was that he was always an outsider.

Even if the Chen Family’s resources and foundations could support him in achieving Martial Arts Dao and breaking through the Enlightenment in the Immortal Technique, they would never allocate the resources to him.

*He knew this point clearly, so he naturally knew how to make his choice.*

Patriarch Chen tried to persuade him a few more times but ceased after seeing Bai Ziyue had no such intention.

His true intention was not to win over Bai Ziyue but to please Fan Qingyu. A Second-class Expert was not worth his personal efforts to recruit.

Since Bai Ziyue refused, he naturally didn’t press further.

"Since my goal is already achieved, I shall take my leave first,

I hope I haven’t disturbed you too much during this time, please forgive me."

Seeing the conversation fade, Bai Ziyue timely proposed his departure.

The environment of the Chen Residence was comfortable, but it wasn’t his place. Moreover, it was filled with experts, and there were so many eyes and ears. *He vaguely sensed some prying, making him very uncomfortable.*

Previously, he had to endure for the sake of the Innate Pill, but with the Innate Pill now in hand, he naturally wouldn’t stay longer.

"Send someone to escort Young Master Bai."

Chen Xianzhong said courteously, a hint of intrigue flashed in his eyes.

"Immortal Master Fan, farewell."

Bai Ziyue gave Fan Qingyu one last glance, nodded, and turned to leave directly.

Fan Qingyu opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. They were people from two different worlds. Rather than holding on, it was better to forget each other in Jianghu.

In front of the Chen Residence, Bai Ziyue took one last look at the large estate behind him and left with a calm expression.

East City County was a large city, densely populated, naturally prosperous.

Walking among the crowd, Bai Ziyue’s eyes slightly flickered.

Behind him, the Little Black Dog followed silently, appearing quite tranquil.

"Now that I have the Innate Pill, there are no major barriers in martial arts cultivation for me.

Next, I only need to wait for the Attribute Panel to upgrade fully and directly rise to the peak of First-class Expert. Then I can methodically break through using the Innate Pill,

As for the Immortal Technique, though I advanced to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Stage, breaking through the Ninth Layer to the Immortal Technique Enlightenment Realm wouldn’t be easy."

Breaking through from the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement to the Enlightenment Realm required external help just like reaching innate martial arts as a First-class Expert.

Barrier-Breaking Pill and Enlightenment Pill are recognized as two Spirit Pills that can aid Qi Cultivators in breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm.

Even though some have succeeded without these pills,

successful breakthroughs are one in a hundred, while those who failed during this process, at least ninety people out of a hundred...

*Knowing there is no difference in the two breakthroughs, he naturally knew how to choose.*

Safety was the most important.

"Therefore, regarding Barrier-Breaking Pill and Enlightenment Pill, I must plan carefully.

Coincidentally, I retrieved a pill formula for Enlightenment Pill from that Storage Bag, so if there are no other options, it’s something I could utilize.

Additionally, I must also master the Five Directions Pure Essence Skill, which can increase the success rate of breakthrough by thirty percent.

I already possess one piece of treasure containing Gold Attribute Innate Qi; four more to go..."

With these thoughts in his heart, Bai Ziyue paused his steps. Without hesitation, he found a carriage and instructed, "Go to the Xingsheng Pavilion."

Over time, he had already inquired clearly. Phoenix Street was the most bustling part of East City County, and the Xingsheng Pavilion was reputed to have the most treasures.

Xingsheng Pavilion was located precisely on Phoenix Street.

Though Little Black Dog could serve as a mount, in this populous county city, he preferred to avoid attracting too much attention.

Besides, he wasn’t short on silver.

"Right away."

With a shout, the carriage began to clatter along.

Half an hour later, Bai Ziyue appeared at the entrance of Xingsheng Pavilion.

The grand and majestic pavilion vastly surpassed other places. Looking in from the entrance, it wasn’t overly luxurious, but it exuded an ancient and calming aura that tempted people to linger and step inside.

"Array Dao?"

Bai Ziyue slightly sensed something but didn’t pay much attention to it. He instructed the carriage driver to wait at the entrance and let the Little Black Dog sit in the carriage, while he stepped directly inside.

"Please, young master."

Soon, a clean-faced servant came up quickly and greeted, "I wonder what the young master desires. At Xingsheng Pavilion, while we can’t say we have everything, anything that other similar shops have, we have as well, and better in quality. As for what they don’t have, we very likely do."

"Oh? That’s quite a claim. I wonder, do you have an Innate Pill here?"

Bai Ziyue smiled and tested.

"Yes!"

The servant said, slightly nervous but calm on the surface, "Every three years, Xingsheng Pavilion holds an auction, and the Innate Pill is often one of the highlights.

It has appeared in our auction five times in a row.

However, if you wish for the Innate Pill, you may need to wait two years,

as Xingsheng Pavilion’s next auction will be in two years."

"Is that so?"

Bai Ziyue raised an eyebrow unexpectedly but wasn’t too disappointed. He hadn’t come for the Innate Pill.

He already had an Innate Pill.

"Well then, I wonder if you have any treasure containing Innate Qi?"

"The item you’re looking for falls under the category of Treasures of Heaven and Earth. I’ll take you over, and our shopkeeper will discuss it with you."

The steward wiped his sweat and hurriedly said.

The Innate Pill was well-known as a top-tier treasure used by First-class Experts. He had heard of it, but he didn’t know much about the others.

Bai Ziyue nodded and soon followed the steward up to the second floor.

There, he quickly spotted a middle-aged man with a goatee, who looked like a steward.

The strength was remarkably high, possessing a Martial Arts Realm of a Third-class Expert.

"This is our Shopkeeper Wu."

The steward quickly spoke.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Wu. I wonder if you have any treasures that contain Innate Five Elements Qi in your Xingsheng Pavilion?"

Bai Ziyue didn’t beat around the bush, speaking straight to the point.

"Which specific type do you need? Treasures containing Innate Five Elements Qi can be divided into five types, each with different properties.

For example, within the Water Attribute, there are Primordial Heavy Water, Cold Ice Profound Liquid, Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, and other resources of differing characteristics.

Such Treasures of Heaven and Earth are generally more useful to Immortal Cultivators. Among martial artists, only Innate Martial Artists who have cultivated corresponding Innate Techniques or used it directly to forge weapons can utilize it."

Shopkeeper Wu, well-informed, spoke eloquently as if he understood the nuances very well.

Bai Ziyue felt happy internally and promptly said, "It doesn’t need to be a special type. As long as it’s a treasure containing Innate Qi, it’s fine.

I wonder, Shopkeeper Wu, do you have any such items? What are they?"

*His confidence in gathering five treasures with Innate Qi grew a bit more.*

"We only have one, sent to us recently by an Immortal Master.

It’s the Primordial Heavy Water.

A small bowl weighs a hundred pounds.

We have only a thousand pounds here."

As Shopkeeper Wu spoke, he carefully took out an iron pot from below the counter, saying, "Primordial Heavy Water has astonishing weight that ordinary containers cannot bear.

Even cast iron can easily be torn apart by its powerful pressure.

This iron pot was made from Purple Gold Profound Iron, which has impressive resilience, making it barely able to contain it, and thus counts as a treasure itself."

Bai Ziyue held his breath, feeling the special Innate Water Attribute Spiritual Qi coming from the water pot, feeling joyful as he spoke directly, "I want it. How much silver does it cost?"

"Silver?"

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head, saying, "Such treasures can no longer be traded using silver.

We acquired it for an auction two years later, or to trade with some Immortal Masters if nothing else.

Thus, we only accept Spirit Stones.

Of course, silver can also be exchanged for Spirit Stones. Simply go to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. Usually, ten taels of gold or a hundred taels of silver can exchange for a Low-grade Spirit Stone.

However, generally, there’s a premium. Twelve taels of gold or one hundred twenty taels of silver exchange for one, which is the common rate.

If you’re interested in purchasing, this Primordial Heavy Water costs a total of one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, or you could give us one hundred twenty thousand taels of silver."

"One hundred twenty thousand taels of silver?"

Bai Ziyue raised an eyebrow, frowning slightly.

He had silver and wasn’t lacking it.

The Immortal Martial Treasure Vault had a secret room with plenty of stored gold and silver; he had only taken some highly valuable items from it.

But gold and silver took up a lot of space, so he kept them all in a Storage Bag, which wasn’t convenient for trading.

However, besides gold and silver, he also had no shortage of Spirit Stones.

Since he entered the Xingsheng Pavilion, he naturally carried sufficient money and considered this possibility.

So, he straightforwardly took off the beast hide bag slung over his back.

A clatter!

It poured out all at once.

Five thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and one thousand Spirit Stones appeared in front of everyone simultaneously.

In an instant, Shopkeeper Wu was stunned, mouth agape, struggling to believe it.

He’d seen many wealthy individuals and seen trades involving ten thousand taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels of patterned silver.

But they usually sent household servants to guard and transport them for transactions.

Someone like Bai Ziyue, carrying the gold and silver himself, was extremely rare.

More importantly, there were Spirit Stones here.

Not too many or too few, precisely one thousand Spirit Stones.

Taking one thousand Spirit Stones and returning the gold and silver, Shopkeeper Wu quickly passed the iron pot containing the Primordial Heavy Water over.

"Besides this Primordial Heavy Water, I wonder if Shopkeeper Wu knows of any other places that have treasures containing Innate Five Elements Qi?"

Reaching out to take the iron pot made from Purple Gold Profound Iron, feeling its weight, Bai Ziyue’s eyes gleamed with a trace of happiness as he continued to inquire.

"No, throughout East City County, only our Xingsheng Pavilion has the foundation to produce treasures containing Innate Qi. Other shops don’t have them.

Their scale can’t provide sufficient silver or Spirit Stones to acquire such treasures."

Shopkeeper Wu spoke with evident confidence.
