After opening the storage bag with his divine sense, Li Xiuxian found a large number of spirit stones inside. With a thought, a low-grade spirit stone appeared in his hand. Li Xiuxian looked at the small storage bag in amazement; having this item would indeed be very convenient.
"This storage bag originally costs one to two hundred spirit stones. However, in appreciation for your sale of two five-hundred-year-old elixirs, I'll give it to you for free!" The elder smiled.
"Really? Thank you!" Li Xiuxian hung the storage bag at his waist and, guided by the servant, left Wanbao Pavilion.
As soon as Li Xiuxian left Wanbao Pavilion, the elder's face darkened. "Two five-hundred-year-old elixirs—what a bold move. How can a mere cultivator at the third level of Qi Condensation possess such precious items? But judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to be a cunning person. He doesn't even recognize a storage bag; if it's fake, it's quite a convincing act."
"Lin San, follow him and take him out!" the elder said to the servant.
"Yes!" Lin San hung back, trailing Li Xiuxian from a distance.
As soon as Li Xiuxian left Wanbao Pavilion, he headed straight for the market. The storage bag now contained over two thousand spirit stones, giving Li Xiuxian a bit more confidence. With over two thousand spirit stones, Li Xiuxian could afford to be extravagant.
Firstly, Li Xiuxian bought fifty bottles of Qi Gathering Pills from a stall. However, he didn't buy them all from one place; purchasing so many at once would make it obvious that he had money. Li Xiuxian bought two to three bottles from each stall, spending three hundred spirit stones in total. Although Li Xiuxian didn't need these Qi Gathering Pills, they would be useful for Li Xiyuan and Li Shuiyao. Therefore, these Qi Gathering Pills were purchased with them in mind.
Li Xiuxian also bought ten stacks of talismans from various stalls, spending one hundred and fifty spirit stones.
While shopping, Li Xiuxian occasionally glanced behind him. Since he left Wanbao Pavilion, he had sensed a divine sense sweeping over him. He noticed this situation right after leaving Wanbao Pavilion, and Yang Yi also sensed it. However, Yang Yi just snorted in response.
"That old man really thinks I know nothing!" Li Xiuxian sneered.
Although Li Xiuxian had very little knowledge in cultivating, he wasn't intentionally pretending. Indeed, he was unaware of the existence of storage bags. However, lack of knowledge didn't equate to foolishness. Li Xiuxian, realizing that he had drawn the attention of the elder, hurriedly left Wanbao Pavilion and bought items from street stalls to quickly distance himself from the elder's influence.
Li Xiuxian was well aware that in the world of cultivators, backstabbing each other was commonplace. He couldn't be sure whether the old man would turn hostile at any moment.
The elder, as Li Xiuxian expected, sent someone to track him. However, this person's cultivation seemed relatively low, around the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Otherwise, his divine sense wouldn't have been detected so easily by Li Xiuxian.
"You've underestimated me, treating me like an ordinary third-level Qi Condensation cultivator!" Li Xiuxian coldly snorted.
Li Xiuxian had long discovered that the black soil within the Wanhua Pearl not only provided abundant spiritual energy but also nurtured divine sense. Li Xiuxian didn't know the specific level of his divine sense, but it was at least stronger than a fifth-level Qi Condensation cultivator. Li Xiuxian had purchased many talismans, and half of them were prepared for the person trailing him.
After putting the talismans into the storage bag, Li Xiuxian took out a few and tucked them into his sleeves. Having done all this unnoticed, Li Xiuxian slipped into the crowd.
At the very moment Li Xiuxian disappeared into the crowd, the trailing divine sense suddenly became chaotic. After two or three breaths, it locked onto Li Xiuxian once again. The other party assumed they were being discreet, but unbeknownst to them, everything seemed as if it were under Li Xiuxian's watchful eyes.
"I should buy a magical weapon as well," Li Xiuxian murmured.
"Refining Armory!" Li Xiuxian smiled slightly and looked back at Lin San following him from behind.
"What do you need?" a servant asked as Li Xiuxian examined the weapons hanging on the shelf. "I'd like to choose a magical weapon."
"You've come to the right place, esteemed customer. Refining Armory boasts the finest selection of magical weapons in all of Qingmu Square City. What kind of magical weapon do you desire?" the servant inquired.
"A sword-type magical weapon," Li Xiuxian said without hesitation. It seemed that swords had become quite popular among cultivators. Almost every cultivator had a sword-type magical weapon, and Li Xiuxian naturally wanted to join the trend.
"Please wait!" The servant immediately took out three magical swords from behind the counter.
"The Flowing Water Sword, crafted from refined iron and sea river sand, tempered within the earth's fire for forty-nine days. It is engraved with an attack array that can unleash an Ice Arrow spell. Price: five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"The Fire Cloud Sword, made from refined iron and fire cloud stone, comes with a defensive array called Fire Wall Technique. Price: five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"The Golden Breaking Sword, crafted from refined iron and copper essence, is invincible against all. Price: five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Li Xiuxian looked at the three magical swords emitting different lights. Water, fire, and metal—three attributes that happened to suit him and the spiritual roots of Li Xiyuan and Li Shuiyao. All three of them lacked magical weapons, so purchasing these three magical swords would be a good choice.
"I'll take all of them!" Li Xiuxian smiled slightly.
"All of them? That's one thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!" the servant exclaimed.
"I'll take all three magical swords; one thousand two hundred fifty spirit stones!" Li Xiuxian immediately reduced the price by three hundred spirit stones.
The servant shook his head, "I don't have the authority to make that decision. Three hundred spirit stones would cover several years of my salary!"
"Then find someone who can make that decision!" Li Xiuxian said. Although Li Xiuxian spent money lavishly, he only spent it on what was necessary. If he could save money somewhere, he would.
"Three magical swords, one thousand two hundred fifty spirit stones!" a voice suddenly echoed from upstairs.
"Deal!" Li Xiuxian took out one thousand two hundred fifty spirit stones from the storage bag, and the three magical swords on the table were put into the storage bag.
"Esteemed customer, please take your leave!"
