Therefore, Luo Chen now has a full private purse and no psychological burden.
After work, Luo Chen greeted Gu Caiyi and headed towards the Inner City.
As he left, Zhou Yuanli and few other bodyguards followed in tacit agreement.
They did not disperse until they entered the safe Inner City.
After they had left, Luo Chen bid farewell to Gu Caiyi and started walking around the Inner City alone.
First, he went to the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.
Accompanied by Bai Meiling, Luo Chen met the new chief of the Pavilion.
Unexpectedly!
He was not an old cultivator like Liu Hecai, but a very young Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Shouldn’t such talent stay in the sect to concentrate on their advancement, become a True Disciple of Foundation Establishment, and then strive for Core Formation?
Or is it that the Medicine King Sect has an abundance of talents to the point that they could freely send young Foundation Establishment Cultivators out for business?
The reason why he was willing to meet Luo Chen was because Boss Liu had mentioned that The Great River District has a rogue Pill Refiner named Luo Chen.
Pill Refiners are very rare.
A rogue Pill Refiner was even more intriguing.
However, after learning that Luo Chen was already serving a gang, he lost interest.
Having exchanged names, he gestured for Luo Chen to go and have a look around himself.
Having bought some herbs necessary for the Nourishing Origin Liquid, and also a few dozen Tian Yang fruits, Luo Chen bid farewell to Bai Meiling and headed straight for the Immortal Residence.
The Immortal Residence, a subsidiary shop of Ailao Mountain, specializes in selling various building materials, ores, etc. and also collected resources.
As soon as Luo Chen entered the Immortal Residence, he started looking around.
Seeing his browsing attitude, the Ailao Mountain Disciples in the shop didn’t bother to greet him.
There were plenty of these rogue cultivators.
They could browse for half a day and not necessarily buy anything valuable.
"There’s no good reason to equivocate, it must have been the doing of the Yu Ding Sword Sect!"
"Who would be so stupid as to kill someone on their own turf."
"Cut it out, there have been too many incidents like this. Besides, how did the Yu Ding Sword Sect get so many magic items to auction at the auction?"
Listening to the small talk from the two late stage Qi Refinement Disciples of Ailao Mountain, Luo Chen was interested in the gossip.
He remembered that at the auction, the local Sword Pavilion representing the Sword Sect indeed put up a lot of magic items for auction.
An example would be the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel that Mi Shuhua bought for a high price.
At least four magic items were sold during the subsequent auctions!
He had once wondered, the Yu Ding Sword Sect was not a Tool Casting Great Sect, so where did they get so many magic items?
He didn’t expect to hear such an explanation from other sect disciples.
Upon reflection, it made sense. Once a Sword Sect Cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they would abandon most external things and concentrate on their Sword Pill.
For the Sword Cultivators who revered the concept of "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws", the magic tools and magic items that cultivators treasured were not indispensable.
If they accidentally obtained some magic items, it was reasonable to auction them if they had no use in hand.
There might be some trouble in the central area of the Yu Ding Realm auctions, but in remote places like The Great River District, there were no traces left.
In such places, the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion was an undisputed overlord that no one could provoke.
From the side, he heard another indignant conversation.
"The wounds on Senior Uncle Fei Bowen’s body were clearly caused by a magic item level Sword Pill. There are many Sword Pills in the Yu Ding Realm, but only the Sword Sect Golden Core can cultivate a magic item level Sword Pill!"
"Why would a Sword Sect Golden Core attack a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"
"Who knows, maybe they took a fancy to our senior uncle’s Solid Enclosure magic item. It’s said that such defensive magic items can be used by Sword Cultivators."
"Maybe!"
"Anyway, the Yu Ding Sword Sect is too much of a bully. When our Supreme Elder went to seek an explanation, they were very arrogant. The Supreme Elder returned to the sect in a huff, scolding the Sword Sect, and even halted the renovation plans for several large Sword Sect markets."
"Hiss, we Ailao Mountain can’t afford to offend the Nascent Soul Great Sect. Isn’t our Supreme Elder afraid of causing trouble by doing this?"
"Ha, you are unaware of this. When the Yu Ding Realm was first opened... Hey, you there! Are you going to buy anything or not!"
Luo Chen was startled, then flashed a smile.
"Of course, I’m here to buy. I didn’t want to interrupt you two friends’ conversation."
"What do you want to buy? Hurry up and say it, we’re closing."
Luo Chen pursed his lips, smiled and said, "Earth Fire Evil Qi. It’s said that you sell it here. But I’ve looked for quite a while on the shelf and haven’t seen it."
The cultivator in the Immortal Residence gave Luo Chen a disdainful look.
"Uninformed, how can the Earth Fire Evil Qi be placed on the shelf? How much do you want?"
...
...
’Kill’ and ’evil’ are synonymous, denoting extreme viciousness and ferocity, and indicating that the item does not exist elsewhere.
If there is an extremely vicious and hateful place, Evil Qi will often be born.
If there is corresponding Evil Qi, other than the objects responsible for the birth of the Evil Qi, no other items will exist in the area.
Take the Netherworld Evil Qi for instance, it is the condensed Evil Qi formed over many years in a location where second-order Netherworld water congregates.
In that place, besides Netherworld water, the Netherworld Evil Qi would actively destroy any foreign matter.
The Earth Fire Evil Qi works in the same way.
It is a kind of Evil Qi that can only be born where there is a large amount of Earth Fire.
Therefore, Earth Fire Evil Qi often does not tolerate foreign objects, and its destructiveness is extremely strong, thus being a positive and strong Evil Qi.
However, cultivators are very smart. Such strong destructiveness, once added to their magic tools, could increase their power several times over.
Therefore, after years of research, generation after generation of highly intelligent people have thought of many methods to extract, contain, and use the Evil Qi.
