"Good sword," Xu Feng praised. "What's the price?"
"Senior, we're familiar now, let's say 110,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones," Zhou Ba said quietly, his heart racing as he looked at Xu Feng.
"Alright!" Xu Feng's heart stirred. He put the Moving Emotion sword into his storage bag and said, "I'll take it."
Zhou Ba was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Xu Feng to be so straightforward. He had originally added 10,000 to let Xu Feng bargain, planning for a deal at 100,000, but Xu Feng didn't even blink before accepting the price. He had encountered a big spender!
Xu Feng remained calm and took out the Sad Arrow, waving it in front of Zhou Ba before quickly putting it back into his storage bag. "I'm more interested in this."
Zhou Ba's expression turned serious as he understood Xu Feng's meaning. He whispered, "Senior, what you want isn't a standard item; we don't have it here, and it's hard to find elsewhere..."
"It can be arranged," Xu Feng said, pulling out 110,000 spirit stones and handing them over. "It can be arranged, right?"
Zhou Ba's eyes lit up as he accepted the spirit stones. With a determined expression, he replied, "Yes, Senior, we can arrange that!"
Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can use bows and arrows to shoot their own Cultivation Method attributes. However, arrows are ranged weapons that are very difficult to master; in combat, there is often only one chance to strike. Once others know you are a bow practitioner, it becomes nearly impossible to launch a surprise attack again. Moreover, if an opponent closes in, they will surely take advantage of you. This is why bows and arrows are not favored by cultivators.
Without this market demand, refiners wouldn't invest their energy into developing bows and arrows. The Sad Arrow that Zhou Ba had last time was also made in haste and was of low quality, requiring minimal effort.
This time, since Xu Feng bought a spiritual sword without hesitation, it was clear that the bow and arrow he wanted could not be satisfied with just a high-quality magical weapon. Zhou Ba steeled himself; this time he would have to ask the Grand Elder to handle it personally.
"Senior, to be honest, I can't provide you with the weapon you want right away," Zhou Ba said seriously. "Spirit weapons like bows and arrows are quite rare and complicated to make; it will take at least three months."
"Three months?" This timeframe was quicker than expected. Xu Feng replied, "Alright then; I'll wait for your good news in three months." He took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and inscribed a simple talisman on it before handing it to Zhou Ba.
"This spirit stone has my spiritual mark on it. Once the task is completed, crush it and I will know." The Sensing Talisman is a common communication talisman among modern clerks.
Zhou Ba accepted the spirit stone and said, "Senior, if we finalize this deal, according to our rules you will need to prepay 200,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. The final price will be around 600,000; we can discuss that later."
600,000 was an amount that an ordinary cultivator could never come up with in their lifetime; even elders of sects would feel pain parting with such sums.
Xu Feng's Low-Grade Spirit Stones were already exhausted; he could only take Mid-Grade ones now. For him, 200,000 was just a number among half a stadium's worth of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Xu Feng asked Zhou Ba for a storage bag and pulled out 2,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to throw at Zhou Ba.
After counting them up, Zhou Ba happily said, "Senior truly has great capability! Leave this matter to me; I won't let you down."
Xu Feng's heart stirred slightly as he replied, "Disappointing me is one thing; disappointing my Sect would not be good."
Zhou Ba noticed a change in Xu Feng's expression and thought, "I wonder if the senior..."
Xu Feng quickly flashed a piece of Jade Tablet in front of Zhou Ba.
Zhou Ba's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "So you are from Wuhua..."
Xu Feng shushed him and said, "I remember the Zhou family in the west of the city." With that, he ignored Zhou Ba and left.
Wuhua Island is the overlord of Liuxiang Kingdom, the leader among the six Sects, known to all in Liuxiang Kingdom. Xu Feng's recent actions had drawn nearly a million in attention; it was likely to attract unwanted interest. If someone had ill intentions, it would be troublesome to deal with. Xu Feng had to use this identity as a shield.
The piece of Jade Tablet he had taken from his subordinate was just right for this purpose. Xu Feng pressed down on "Hua Baili," allowing Zhou Ba to see only the three characters for Wuhua Island. Just those three characters were enough to intimidate many people. Xu Feng pretended to be mysterious, making Zhou Ba think he was a Senior Disciple from Wuhua Island on a secret mission, which made him hesitate to act recklessly.
Under normal circumstances, a reputable Refining Tool family would not engage in self-destructive behavior. With Xu Feng's substantial wealth, he had to be cautious.
Upon returning to the inn where he was staying, Xu Feng entered a state of cultivation once again.
The first layer of Dragon's Fury was not as easy as he had imagined. Just when he seemed on the verge of breaking through, he found himself unable to do so for a long time. After a month of relentless training day and night, he finally broke through to the first layer of Dragon's Fury on the thirty-third day.
His Fire Elemental Power nearly doubled overnight. Feeling the surge of strength, Xu Feng's confidence soared. If he encountered Li Chang at that moment, even without doubling his power, Xu Feng could easily defeat him.
Even more encouraging was that after a month of exploration, Xu Feng finally mastered the Mind Control Technique. When using the Control Vein Technique, he could directly close his veins with his mind, opening and closing his Meridians at will. Switching Cultivation Methods became instantaneous; compared to his previous hand-controlled Seal Technique, both speed and effectiveness improved significantly.
After completing the first layer, Xu Feng turned to the latter part of the Combat Techniques section, where he found the corresponding Combat Techniques for the first layer of Dragon's Fury: Fire Dragon in the Field. It consisted of three moves: Fire Dragon Kiss, Fire Dragon Shock, and Fire Dragon Charge.
The Intermediate Cultivation Method was indeed powerful; its Combat Techniques were bold and straightforward with few tricks involved—relying purely on strength. In front of absolute power, all schemes and plots were futile.
Xu Feng had his own understanding of Combat Techniques. Whether it was the Spirit Serpent Sword Technique or Azure Dragon Thirteen Swords, he would modify them by adding his own elements. However, when it came to Fire Dragon in the Field, Xu Feng found it impossible to alter; every nuance felt perfectly crafted within it. The seemingly simple move Fire Dragon in the Field possessed an extraordinary depth.
Xu Feng felt a bit embarrassed and no longer dared to be clever; instead, he diligently learned this move from the book.
Time passed quickly, and Xu Feng fully comprehended Fire Dragon in the Field. The essence of this move emphasized overcoming enemies with force; what weapon was used did not matter—seizing power came first before defeating foes with that power. Understanding this principle meant that even using his hands instead of a sword could lead him to victory.
At this point, Xu Feng finally developed his first killing move within his Earth-Level Cultivation Method.
Occasionally during these ten days, Xu Feng would sit downstairs at the inn to eat and drink while listening to tales from Xian City. Most of his time was spent on cultivation.
After mastering Dragon's Fury, Xu Feng began practicing Earth King Tremor in accordance with the order of the five elements.
The cultivation of Earth King Shock progressed much faster than Dragon's Fury. This was partly due to the positive influence of Dragon's Fury on the Earth Element Cultivation Method, and partly because Xu Feng had just learned the Mind Control Technique.
With both methods combined, Xu Feng completed the first layer of the Earth King Shock cultivation method in less than twenty attempts. Following that, he also finished practicing the first combat technique, Earth King Armor, in just ten tries.
Earth King Armor is primarily a defensive combat technique but can also be used for offense. Overall, it is stronger in defense and weaker in attack. Once this technique is unleashed, cultivators of the same level find it nearly impossible to break through; unless one possesses a ground-breaking weapon or a Wood Element Technique specifically designed to counter Earth Element techniques, they can only seek self-preservation in front of Earth King Armor.
After two months of completing the Fire Element One Star and Earth Element cultivation methods and combat techniques, Xu Feng decided not to continue his training. This was because more and more cultivators had been passing through the inn, all discussing the same topic: the auction in Mist City on the fifth day of next month.
Mist City is located on the west side of New Moon Sect and is considered a central location within Liuxiang Kingdom. Both Guo Shan Sword Sect and Guiyi Sect are not far from Mist City. Hosting an auction there provides significant advantages for all parties involved, which is why Mist City is also referred to as "Auction City."
It is at least five thousand miles from Xian City to Mist City. Xu Feng calculated that a round trip would take about a month, allowing him to participate in the auction before returning to find Zhou Ba.
The auction in Mist City occurs every year, but this year's event is particularly special because the Otherworldly Secret Realm is about to open, and this auction is specifically prepared for it.
"The Mist City auction should have quite a few good items; I hope it doesn't disappoint me," Xu Feng thought with anticipation.
