"Fragrance Heroes Chronicle" is the gossip ranking of "Modern Clerk," equivalent to domestic awards like the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster. If it were "Heroes of the Fragrant Nation," it would be like the Oscars.
This "magazine" isn't expensive; Xu Feng bought it for one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. The other books on Dan Dao, Weapon Dao, and Talisman Dao are all relatively basic Cultivation Methods. After browsing through them, Xu Feng finally purchased a book titled "Formation Dao." The techniques of Formation Dao are also mentioned in the ten articles on Refining Tools but are relatively simple. This book on Formation Dao provides a detailed explanation of various aspects related to formations, presenting concepts from basic to advanced in an easy-to-understand manner regarding the setup and dismantling of formations.
However, this "Formation Dao" is also a Human Level Cultivation Method, meaning that the formations set up can only trap Refining Qi Stage cultivators. Formation Dao is a group-killing Cultivation Method that is easy to learn but difficult to master. A beginner can easily set up a formation to trap small animals like cats and dogs within minutes. However, causing harm to humans is not so straightforward.
The classification of Formation Masters is similar to that of Dan Dao and Weapon Dao, divided into Formation Master, Formation King, Zhenzong, and Zhenzun.
Formations are categorized into Killing Formations, Maze Formations, Trapping Formations, and Auxiliary Formations. They are further divided by power levels: Human Level and Intermediate levels. Practicing formations is extremely challenging; it relies on comprehension and intellect. Once mastered, a formation practitioner can hardly find an opponent of the same realm and can take on multiple foes at once.
Considering the formidable skills of Formation Masters, every sect typically has one or two Formation Masters on hand for emergencies.
After leaving the Cultivation Method bookstore, Xu Feng wandered through several shops until he arrived at a weapon store. Although this shop was temporarily set up, it was twice as large as Zhou Ba's fixed shop. There were three staff members: two selling goods and one receiving items.
Xu Feng handed over several Magic Swords he had collected earlier along with Cao Lei's Superior Battle Boots to the receiving clerk in exchange for over ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. In this transaction, aside from the Superior Battle Boots being worth something, everything else was practically given away.
The weapons were displayed in two sections: Low-Level Magical Artifacts were placed outside for cultivators to take freely, while High-Level Weapons were stored inside a multi-layered cabinet. To examine them closely from outside, one had to ask a staff member to retrieve them.
To Xu Feng's surprise, there were several Low-Grade Spirit Swords inside the cabinet!
Xu Feng pointed to a short sword about a foot long and asked, "How much for this sword?"
"It's a Low-Grade Spirit Tool; it's priced at 120,000," the clerk replied amicably.
"120,000?" Xu Feng said. "Is there room for negotiation?"
The clerk shook his head, indicating there were no discounts. Typically, bosses would offer staff an internal price of 80% to 90%, but seeing that Xu Feng didn't seem like someone looking to buy a spirit tool seriously—more likely just asking—he assumed he would end up purchasing some ordinary artifact instead.
Xu Feng did not really want this Low-Grade Spirit Sword; he had already purchased the Moving Emotion from Zhou Ba, and he had two Superior Spirit Tools on hand. He inquired about the spirit sword mainly to understand the pricing at this store.
The Low-Grade Spirit Sword was priced at one hundred and ten thousand at Zhou Ba's shop, while it was one hundred and twenty thousand here. Considering various factors, this price seemed reasonable.
"Let me take a look at that Armor," Xu Feng said. This was his true purpose for choosing this store; he was interested in this Low-Grade Spirit Tool Armor.
The clerk hesitated a bit, and the staff member responsible for receiving goods shot him a fierce glare. Only then did he open the cabinet and take out the Golden Silk Armor, handing it to Xu Feng with a strange expression.
The sleeveless, off-white Armor was soft to the touch, with waves of spiritual energy dancing between his fingers.
"It increases defense by thirty percent and reduces Wood Element Technique attack power by forty percent," the clerk introduced. This Armor focused on defending against Wood Element Techniques.
"Do you have anything else?" Xu Feng asked, looking for an Armor that could resist all Wood Element attacks, which was what most cultivators desired.
Seeing the deal might fall through, the clerk hurriedly said, "It's very hard to find Wood Element Armors in the Fairy Market, and they are quite expensive..."
"What’s the price for this one?" Xu Feng asked casually.
"This one is only one hundred and fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones; it's quite a bargain," the clerk replied eagerly.
"It is indeed a good deal," Xu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'll take it."
"Ah? You really want it? That's great! You have a good eye, senior!" The clerk's expression changed instantly.
Xu Feng ignored him, paid the spirit stones, and walked straight out.
The shop assistant was still immersed in excitement when two other assistants approached with long faces.
The assistant responsible for receiving goods coldly said, "Fan Shidi, you should go back to Refining Tool."
"Ah, why?"
"Don't you know that this Armor is going to sell for two hundred thousand?"
"Uh..."
Xu Feng nudged the impulsive assistant, managing to get him to sell it at cost price. By playing the fool, he saved fifty thousand spirit stones, which made Xu Feng feel quite good.
The third stop was the pharmacy. Xu Feng's inventory of elixirs was extremely unreasonable. The Sixth-Level Elixir left by Jin Liaoyuan would be a waste if used now, and all the elixirs left by He Tanshu were of the first and second levels for Refining Qi Stage—neither filling nor starving; during the Foundation Establishment stage, there was a complete lack of elixirs.
Just like cleaning weapons, Xu Feng threw all the useless elixirs from his storage bag to the pharmacy Boss. Although it was only a few thousand spirit stones, he was glad to have a tidy space.
Next came the restock. The elixirs were simple to equip, mainly divided into Healing Type, Detoxification, and Dungeon-related categories—normal consumables. If there were any "special preferences," some corresponding stock could also be prepared.
This batch of elixirs focused on fourth and fifth levels, with two bottles of each type. The pharmacy Boss had just accepted Xu Feng's inventory and didn't want to set the price too high. Moreover, for these regular elixirs, the prices were relatively transparent, making it inconvenient to ask for an exorbitant amount. In the end, this batch of elixirs was sold for one hundred thousand spirit stones.
After purchasing the elixirs, Xu Feng did not leave the pharmacy but instead looked at the Dan Furnace.
Alchemy was something every cultivator could do; it was just that skills varied greatly. After reaching Foundation Establishment, cultivators ate less and less ordinary food, relying more on elixirs. If they could do Alchemy themselves, it would naturally save a significant amount of spirit stones.
However, not everyone could become an Alchemist. The requirements for being an Alchemist were no less than those for formation masters. Besides having a natural affinity for fire elements, if one wanted to advance further, they needed not only Wood Element Spiritual Power but also cultivators who practiced both fire and wood could achieve Great Achievement in Dan Dao.
Modern Clerk Originally, Dual Spiritual Roots are rare, and those requiring both Fire and Wood elements are even fewer. If one also seeks to cultivate both Fire and Wood simultaneously, the numbers dwindle significantly.
Dual Spiritual Roots belong to a high-quality talent category, and balanced Dual Spiritual Roots are seldom seen; there is usually a bias, such as leaning towards Fire or Wood. Cultivating immortality is inherently difficult, and in order to achieve success sooner, most choose to focus on one element for quicker breakthroughs. Opting for dual cultivation will inevitably affect the speed of their progress.
If one cannot successfully establish a foundation within two hundred years, there will be no further opportunities; life will have run its course, and they will return to the earth.
If the formation master and Artifact Master are responsible for repelling external enemies, then the Dan Master is the guarantee for the prosperity of the sect. Xu Feng spent two years in the Beast Wasteland, where medicinal herbs abound, and his bag is already filled with numerous Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Medicines.
With abundant resources available for refining, coupled with Xu Feng's balanced cultivation of the five elements, he has gained a significant advantage in Dan Dao. This advantage becomes even more pronounced after successfully establishing a foundation, further solidifying Xu Feng's determination to learn Alchemy.
The pharmacy's Boss possesses multiple Dan Furnaces, with the most expensive priced at one hundred thousand, capable of refining Fifth-Rank Pill.
After careful consideration, Xu Feng chose a Dan Furnace costing ten thousand spirit stones, which can refine up to Fourth-Rank Pill. As a novice, even the best equipment would be useless without experience.
This Dan Furnace is roughly the size of a bucket, featuring ten drug slots and ten condensation openings, allowing for a maximum output of ten pills at once while also accommodating a hundred pounds of Cinnabar.
Cinnabar serves as a material component during pill condensation and is the physical embodiment of the pills. High-grade pills can utilize refined demon beast inner cores as substitutes for Cinnabar. With plenty of demon beast inner cores at his disposal, this will greatly benefit Xu Feng's future endeavors in Alchemy.
