Chapter 7: Making Preparations
"Fang Yuan, I want to buy some high-grade talismans." He Qingge directly told Fang Yuan his purpose.
The so-called high-grade talismans actually had a prefix in front of them. Level one talismans, level one spells, level one demon beasts, level one pills, and so on were basically materials that corresponded to the Qi Refinement Realm. Low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade could correspond to the early stage of Qi Refinement, the middle stage of Qi Refinement, the late stage of Qi Refinement, and the perfected Qi Refinement Realm (the 12th level of Qi Refinement.
"How many do you want?" Fang Yuan did not ask He Qingge why he was buying talismans. Immortal cultivators hated such things the most.
"I need 20 Body Lifting Talismans, 20 Swift Talismans, 20 Vajra Talismans or Protection Talismans, 5 Body Locking Talismans, and 10 Flying Sword Talismans," He Qingge said a lot in one breath.
"You're asking for a little too much!" Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment. He did not have so many high-grade talismans at the moment, let alone top-grade talismans.
"How many can you have ready?"
"When do you want them?"
"In about ten days!" He Qingge was not being truthful.
"That's a pity. If it were a little longer, I might be able to prepare all of them. I don't have so many high-grade talismans now."
"Middle-grade talismans are fine too, but I want more of them." He Qingge pondered for a moment.
"Alright, I'll go prepare as many as possible." Fang Yuan left with a smile. He did not expect that there would be big business coming in today, so he was in a good mood.
Although He Qingge said so many things, he actually could not afford to pay for them now. It was just that his long-term good luck and stable income from beast milk could be used to cash in now.
Even so, He Qingge had spent a lot of spirit stones and high-quality beast milk.
If it was not for He Qingge's strong character, his fear of death, his deep understanding of the Dao, his never leaving the sect, his kindness to others, and his lack of enemies, Fang Yuan might not have let him buy on credit.
After all, in the cultivation world, the strong preyed on the weak. Many low-level cultivators fought to the death for a trace of opportunity. A single mistake could lead to eternal damnation, and the spirit stones lent out would most likely not be returned.
Many would die an unnatural death.
Therefore, it was not common for cultivators to borrow things. Of course, it was possible that the world that He Qingge could observe was too small. The main scope of his knowledge was the Tian Xuan Sect.
Other than cultivating spells and skills, He Qingge spent the rest of his time in the market buying items that he might need, especially high-level talismans.
After four months of closed-door cultivation, his Berating ability went a long way to reach the grandmaster level. Now, after a month, he had finally reached the superb level.
[Spell: Berating]
[Effect: Intimidation (Intimidation of the opponent for a short period of time).]
The grandmaster-level Berating could intimidate a Golden Jade White Tiger at the peak of Qi Refinement. Breaking through to the superb level made the ability even more powerful. It could forcefully intimidate the opponent.
In a battle between experts, life and death could be decided in an instant.
Other than that, there was almost no progress in other spells. Other than the talents related to sound, the rest were still so bad.
Another regret was that Su Zimei still did not appear this month.
He Qingge packed up his things and prepared to complete the sect's mission. He could not delay any longer.
Before that, he would go to the market to see if there were anything that he still lacked. There was no unified law in this world. Burning, killing, and looting were common. He Qingge had a serious fear of insufficient firepower.
If not for the fact that he was forced to leave the sect…
'Zhang Jianqiang, Zhang Jianchi, Zhang Lingmu, I'll remember you,' He Qingge thought fiercely.
"Hello, how much is this?" Soon, He Qingge stopped at a small stall.
There was a bottle of sky-blue potion on the stall. It was in a pure glass bottle with the label—Blue Fish Poison. He Qingge had heard of this poison before. It was one of the few poisons recorded in the library that could not be cured by Detoxification Pills.
Other than that, there were also Nine-Year-Old Begonia Flower, Solitary Snow, Bird's Blood, and other highly toxic poisons. There were also all kinds of fragrances…
A Qi Refinement cultivator did not specialize in training their physical body, so their body would not be too strong, and their resistance to poison would not be strong either.
"20 spirit stones."
"That's too expensive." He Qingge did not even raise his head. Anyway, the moment he arrived, he bargained.
Immortal cultivators were just that tacky. They would be as calculative as mortals when buying things.
In his 20 years of cultivation, the only person he had seen who had more immortal energy was probably the old man who had brought him to fly on a sword back then.
That was the first time he came into contact with immortal cultivation and also the first time he knew that there were immortals in this world. In fact, he was a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator with good looks and good skills.
However, it was a pity that the only person who had some immortal energy died in a battle for the treasures in the ruins a few years ago.
Of course, this was just a rumor. No one knew how he died. It was just news brought back by his fellow disciples.
"This is expensive? Do you know how difficult it is to get these poisons? These are all life-saving things." Liu Deren grinned at He Qingge.
"Do you have anything more poisonous?" He Qingge did not refute and continued to ask.
The poisons in front of him were indeed difficult to get, but Qi Refinement cultivators still had a way to force them out of their bodies.
The biggest advantage was that the current Detoxification Pills would not have much of an effect on these poisons.
However, the poisons here were not particularly strong. It would be difficult to poison someone to death with them immediately.
"What kind of poison do you want?" Liu Deren asked.
"Something that's more poisonous, acts faster, and is harder to cure." He Qingge stated his request. "It's best if it's at the late stage of Qi Refinement, or even at the peak of Qi Refinement."
"Then you've found the right person. I have something that meets all your requests. Come and take a look at this bottle."
Liu Deren took out a small bottle from the stall. The bottle was quite small, and inside it was a dark purple liquid that looked quite thick.
Even with the sun behind He Qingge, he could not see it clearly.
"This Purple Smoke Poison meets all your criteria. This is made with Purple Smoke as the main ingredient, and some supplementary poison has been added to further stimulate the poison within.
"Not to mention humans in the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm or even the perfected Qi Refinement Realm, even demon beasts that specialize in cultivating their bodies won't be able to resist it. Even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can't last long if they aren't careful and don't detoxify the poison in time."
"How many spirit stones does this cost?" He Qingge's eyes lit up instantly.
"Not much, not much. 50 spirit stones." Liu Deren smiled.
"Why is it so cheap?" He Qingge blurted out subconsciously.
The main reason was that this potion was much stronger than the previous potions, but the price was only about twice as high.
"This means that I'm honest. I'm not scamming you."
He Qingge was slightly conflicted, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and took it.
