Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Tier Three Spirit Liquid

“Greetings, fellow cultivator.”

Coming down from the third floor was Su Miaoyin, dressed as a Taoist nun. Her voice was gentle, and every word she spoke carried a sense of ethereal grace.

“So it’s Mr. Su. My surname is Hu.”

Disguised as a cultivator from the Fengdu Kingdom, Lin Chang’an clasped his fists with a bold demeanor, which instantly won over people.

Su Miaoyin nodded with a light smile, her graceful figure moving slowly to the table.

The elderly man with the surname Feng stood respectfully aside, while Su Miaoyin, after carefully examining the Array Disc, couldn’t help but nod lightly.

“Not bad, it’s a Tier Three Array Disc, and the material is top-notch. Unfortunately, the disc is incomplete.”

With a shake of her head, Su Miaoyin, the beautiful Taoist nun, watched as Lin Chang’an laughed heartily and said:

“I was lucky. I found it outside an ancient relic’s cave, hoping to exchange it for some Spirit Stones.”

However, Su Miaoyin, upon hearing his laughter, cast a deep look at him with her clear eyes.

Yet she didn’t realize that her naturally alluring gaze could not be concealed, no matter her attire.

Fortunately, Lin Chang’an’s focus was all on the Spirit Stones.

“What would fellow cultivator like to exchange for? Spirit Stones, Elixirs, Magical Artifacts, or treasures that assist in cultivation?”

Su Miaoyin was direct, and upon hearing her question, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile.

The debt from the Beast Spirit Pill was finally repaid.

“Mr. Su, I wonder if this High-Level Spirit Liquid could be exchanged?”

Remembering that the Spiritual Eye contributed to this occasion and that his Lifebound Spirit Plant also needed Spirit Liquid, Lin Chang’an boldly asked this question.

The essence extracted from the Spirit Vein Spring is known as Spirit Liquid.

The ones sold outside are mostly mixed with Spiritual Spring, greatly reducing their value.

However, Spirit Liquid is highly valuable. Besides being applied externally to aid cultivation, it can temporarily increase cultivation speed, essentially boosting the Spirit Root, and has many other uses.

But High-Level Spirit Liquid, or Tier Two and above, is only circulated within the Three Major Sects, and Celestial Profound City, built among these Spirit Veins, surely has such treasures.

“Tier Three Spirit Liquid, is it.”

Without much hesitation, Su Miaoyin nodded lightly and said, “Exchanging these three Array Discs for two bottles of Tier Three Spirit Liquid is not impossible. But if you could reveal some information, I am willing to add a few more bottles of Tier Three Spirit Liquid.”

Su Miaoyin extended her five jade fingers, making Lin Chang’an’s heart skip a beat.

Yet looking at Su Miaoyin’s calm gaze, it seemed like a simple transaction, revealing nothing.

Lin Chang’an grinned to hide a touch of trepidation in his heart.

At most, those eyes naturally carried a hint of charm, but as a fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he had some confidence in his Breath Concealment Technique.

“Fairy Miao Yin is straightforward. Old Hu here is also simple; this Array Disc isn’t something found at a relic but was actually something I stumbled upon while wandering last night, finding someone acting suspiciously.

They were secretly burying some things around the Spirit Vein of Celestial Profound City, and later, I went over stealthily to dig them up, ending up with these treasures for nothing.”

Lin Chang’an laughed heartily, maintaining a rugged appearance.

Meanwhile, Su Miaoyin, upon hearing this, lightly raised her hand to cover the smile at the corner of her mouth and nodded, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Hu.”

Without hesitation, Su Miaoyin raised her hand and took out five exquisite Jade Bottles from her Storage Bag.

The aura from these five bottles of High-Level Spirit Liquid had evidently reached Tier Three quality.

“Refreshing!”

The rogue character played by Lin Chang’an clasped his fists in admiration, and after acquiring the five bottles of Tier Three Spirit Liquid, he took his leave.

Nonetheless, it felt as though a pair of eyes always watched him from behind, seemingly seeing right through him.

He changed disguises several times in the bustling Market Trading Area after exiting the Fengle Auction House, even replacing the Jade Bottles previously containing the Spirit Liquid.

“This should be all right now.”

Ambling through the lively Market Trading Area, Lin Chang’an recalled Su Miaoyin’s eyes with a bit of uneasiness.

But upon careful thought, he considered it akin to sending a message.

Even if seen through, he acted like this purely to avoid trouble, a sensible and understandable choice.

Besides, they were in the same circle.

“Now, Master Lu and this Fairy Miao Yin’s minds are more preoccupied with the Two Major Sects, so I’m hardly of concern.”

Having figured it out, Lin Chang’an strolled the market with a relaxed smile.

…

Fengle Auction House.

“Miss, could something be off with this Array?”

With a face full of doubt, the elderly Feng asked, while Su Miaoyin, seated at the table, played with the Array Disc with amused interest, lightly laughing:

“This is an Array Disc of the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s Blood Spirit Array.”

“Profound Yin Demon Sect!” Upon hearing this, the elderly Feng’s expression changed dramatically, exclaiming in shock.

In the Demon Beast Abyss, who wasn’t aware of the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s notorious reputation, especially that terrifying Xuan Yin Old Devil?

“Why would the Profound Yin Demon Sect come to the Yue Kingdom?”

The stunned elder blurted out, while Su Miaoyin merely shook her head with a smile.

“Uncle Feng, have you forgotten the origins of the Three Major Sects?”

Divine Sword Sect, Li Huo Palace, Profound Sound Pavilion, the Three Major Sects of the Yue Kingdom were all offshoots of the Profound Yin Divine Sect.

“Miss, do you mean to say!”

The elderly Feng suddenly realized something, his face full of anger.

“How outrageous! Master had just visited the Two Major Sects, and they’re scheming like this behind the scenes.”

Despite the elder’s fury, Su Miaoyin gazed out the window with a composed expression.

“The Immortal Cultivation Realm is just like this. Considering the limited resources in the Yue Kingdom, no one wants to see a thriving Celestial Profound City.”

“But this grand play has just begun, and the one who laughs last is the true winner.”

With a gentle smile and a tranquil self-assurance, Su Miaoyin, dressed as a beautiful Taoist nun, gazed towards the peaks of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

Currently, she could only speculate on a few things.

No matter what, even she wasn’t sure what her master was plotting in the background.

The title of the first Loose Cultivator wasn’t just a symbol of strength.

…

In the cave dwelling.

“After all these twists today, there shouldn’t be any more issues.”

Returning home, Lin Chang’an let out a small sigh of relief.

His cautious nature made him disguise himself multiple times, exiting the city several times only to return under different guises.

“Though it was a bit tiring, earning these five bottles of Tier Three quality Spirit Liquid really paid off.”

Sitting cross-legged in front of the jade, looking at the five Jade Bottles before him, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.

Fairy Miao Yin was indeed straightforward, and these Jade Bottles were not your ordinary small bottles.

And this Tier Three Spirit Liquid, it wasn’t something Spirit Stones could easily purchase.

“The uses of Spirit Liquid are numerous; whether for aiding cultivation, awakening the Spiritual Eye, or nurturing the Spirit Plant, there’s just so much to do.”

Having just obtained the five bottles of Tier Three Spirit Liquid, counting all he had to accomplish, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help shaking his head wryly.

He truly envied those like Su Miaoyin, the second-generation fairies.

They could casually remove three-tier Spirit Liquid from their Storage Bags, indicating they typically used such high-level liquids to aid their cultivation.

“No wonder people with a Middle-grade Spirit Root have such fast cultivation speeds.”

Lin Chang’an couldn’t help feeling a bit envious. This was the gold standard of being the first Loose Cultivator and Golden Core master of the Yue Kingdom, his master’s (father’s) caliber.

“Leave one bottle for the Spiritual Eye. Though the Alchemy Skill is sure to break through eventually, cultivation requires unwavering persistence, and an auxiliary bottle must be reserved. The remaining three bottles will be used to nurture the Lifebound Spirit Plant.”

Having made up his mind, Lin Chang’an no longer hesitated and began refining his Lifebound Spirit Plant, rooted in his Dantian.

This was the true drain on his Spirit Stones.
