Chapter 302: Chapter 141: Li Daocheng’s Righteousness Soars to the Clouds, Power of the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique at Perfection Level
"Eliminating three tracking marks doesn’t mean I’m safe.
I must leave the black market as soon as possible."
Zhou Changwang was very clear-headed.
The Spiritual Energy Mark, although hidden, can be detected by those with sharp Spiritual Sense. It’s considered an overt tracking means, but in the Cultivation Realm, cultivators have countless techniques, and it’s uncertain if there are other magic spells capable of tracking silently.
Thus, he must leave the marketplace promptly to escape in time.
As he moved forward, Zhou Changwang passed through the black market hall and arrived at the front yard where stalls were set up.
By now, it was past midnight, and there were relatively fewer people setting up stalls.
More were gathered at the entrance.
"Five pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone for a safe escort to the marketplace."
"Xuanming Daoist personally takes action, only twenty pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone."
...
One cultivator after another was shouting.
This was also a business.
By paying a sum of Spirit Stones, a relatively powerful cultivator would assist along the way, ensuring a safe arrival.
Even when faced with a formidable enemy, a group of cultivators could join forces to respond and counter-ambush.
It’s also considered a mutually beneficial means.
"As the saying goes, it’s perpetually dark without Li Daocheng; the destination is Purple Gold Peak, just one spot left, will depart when full, no waiting past time."
Just then, someone next to Zhou Changwang shouted.
Zhou Changwang glanced at the man, who was an Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioner, robust, with a somewhat bald patch on his head, like a monk, yet wore a Daoist robe, holding a Daoist duster in his hand.
Coincidentally, the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land where he was located was on the way to Purple Gold Peak.
So he asked casually, "How many Spirit Stones?"
"Ten pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone, leaving immediately!"
Li Daocheng replied offhandedly.
"Then let’s go!"
Zhou Changwang nodded and immediately handed over ten pieces of Lower-Grade Spirit Stone.
"Let’s go!"
Li Daocheng nodded decisively, shouted, and the group quickly headed out of the black market.
Zhou Changwang hurried to keep up.
He found that there were only nine others accompanying them.
That is to say, plus Li Daocheng himself, there were only ten people in the group.
Most weren’t particularly powerful, the strongest being only at the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation, followed by cultivators like Zhou Changwang at the Fifth-Layer, and the weakest being at the Third-Layer.
The Third-Layer cultivator looked familiar to Zhou Changwang, it was the young cultivator who had asked questions when he first entered the marketplace.
He should be, like him, a first-timer in the black market.
"The night after the black market is extremely dangerous, Tribulation Cultivators could appear at any time.
So stay close to me and do not get separated.
I prioritize loyalty in my dealings; I take money to get the job done honestly. Since I’ve taken your Spirit Stones, I definitely will see it through to the end.
If danger arises, you must follow my commands, otherwise, if I can’t help you, you can’t blame me.
Additionally, our destination is Purple Gold Peak, notify me in advance if you wish to leave during the journey..."
Li Daocheng spoke as he led the way.
His pace wasn’t fast, seemingly accommodating those of lower cultivation.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator with skills like the Light Body Skill and movement magic techniques. If needed, Spirit Talismans aided them, and their speed was, in fact, not slow.
Zhou Changwang stayed at the back, using the Spirit Eye Technique to observe behind.
He wasn’t sure if anyone targeted him in the black market.
Among the three Spiritual Energy Marks, one was exceptionally stubborn, likely left by an Eighth-Layer or even Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioner.
If the opponent hadn’t given up, he needed to be prepared in advance.
Fortunately, perhaps because they were wary of Li Daocheng, the Eighth-Layer Qi Practitioner, or maybe because Zhou Changwang had washed away the Spiritual Energy Marks with the Cleaning Technique, he didn’t see anyone targeting their group.
Even if cultivators appeared, most went in other directions.
Either to the marketplace or other large Spirit Lands.
"This is good.
We can safely reach the Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land."
Zhou Changwang felt slightly relieved.
Overall, this trip to the black market was satisfactory.
He not only successfully sold numerous Spirit Talismans but also bought enough First Grade High Tier Spirit Pill Jade Flower Pills for three months, ensuring no worries about slowing cultivation speed in the short term.
Most importantly, he unexpectedly acquired a Third-Grade Spirit Seed, the Star Source Spiritual Fruit Seeds.
The Star Source Spirit Fruit is renowned as an Earth Treasure capable of enhancing a cultivator’s Spirit Root Talent, with immense value; one can directly elevate a Lower-Grade Spirit Root cultivator by an entire grade.
If enough Star Source Spirit Fruit is obtained, it could even cultivate a Top-Grade Spirit Root...
"However, undoubtedly, cultivating this Spirit Fruit will indeed be very difficult.
When I return, it must be arranged properly."
Thinking of this, Zhou Changwang followed behind the group.
Occasionally using the Spirit Eye Technique to observe the surroundings or the Derivation Technique to check for nearby dangers.
Even though he was following the Eighth-Layer Qi Practitioner Li Daocheng, he ultimately trusted himself more.
He certainly wouldn’t truly entrust his safety to others.
"Senior, are you a Talisman Maker?"
At this moment, the Third-Layer young cultivator next to him curiously asked Zhou Changwang, noticing he looked cold, he quickly explained, "My name is Meng Sansheng, an Alchemy Master. This is my first time at the black market.
I noticed earlier that senior was selling Spirit Talismans in the marketplace, so I asked, not to pry into senior’s affairs."
