Xu Feng willingly gave up his spot in the finals without a fight, allowing Cai Shujun to take his place. It wasn't that he was enamored by Cai Shujun's beauty; there were two main reasons for his decision. First, it was related to Jin Liaoyuan. From the information he had gathered, it was clear that Jin Liaoyuan and Qiu Wuling had an inappropriate relationship, which made Cai Shujun his senior sister. It was only natural for him to give face to his senior sister.
The second reason was Cai Shujun's strength. With Xu Feng's current combat capabilities, unless Cai Shujun foolishly insisted on competing with him in internal energy, he had no chance of winning. Rather than letting Hua Du take advantage of the situation, it was better for him to rest and recharge, preparing for better dreams.
However, Xu Feng did not sleep after the event. Instead, he went alone to the Immortal Market. The Fairy Market had been open for over ten days and was nearing its end. The number of cultivators capable of making purchases was dwindling, and business at various stalls was minimal. Most of the time, Xu Feng traded with Yu Daqian, and upon entering the Fairy Market, he did not attract much attention from other vendors.
Soon enough, Xu Feng arrived at Yu Daqian's stall. Yu Daqian's eyes lit up as if he had seen a god of wealth. His stall had limited supplies and was significantly weaker compared to another shop, Ten Directions Apothecary. Due to his unique circumstances, Xu Feng did not dare to collaborate with Ten Directions Apothecary for fear of attracting unwanted attention.
After a brief absence, Yu Daqian had replenished his stock, but the variety remained the same. The Fifth-Rank Pill that Xu Feng needed was still just the Great Recovery Pill. The Fifth-Rank Pill did not sell well and was considered a luxury item by ordinary cultivators. Someone like Xu Feng, who could easily "wholesale" such items, was exceedingly rare; thus, Yu Daqian only brought one bottle each time.
Seeing that there were no other customers around, Xu Feng directly said, "I have a few senior brothers who want some Yuan Ling Dan to take back with me—two bottles of each element." The Yuan Ling Dan referred to the elemental pills Xu Feng had purchased yesterday: Earth Elemental Pill, Golden Elemental Pill, Wood Elemental Pill...
"Two bottles each?" Yu Daqian was taken aback by this order that could crush him; it amounted to two hundred thousand spirit stones! He shook his head vigorously to keep himself alert.
Xu Feng picked up a bottle of Great Recovery Pill from the shelf and asked, "When can you get them for me?"
"Yan Daoyou, I need to go back to my family for the goods. Fortunately, it's not too far from here. I'll use a Messaging Talisman to notify them; they should arrive within two days," Yu Daqian replied quickly but with a trembling voice.
Xu Feng did not want to linger any longer and handed over a storage bag saying, "Here are one hundred thirty thousand spirit stones along with a Soul-Recovering Vine as a deposit."
Yu Daqian took it and found indeed there was a Soul-Recovering Vine over three hundred years old inside, worth no less than three hundred thousand—enough for the deposit on the Yuan Ling Dan.
"Yan Daoyou can rest assured; I will contact my family right now and ensure everything is handled properly within two days!" Yu Daqian never imagined Xu Feng would place such a large order; he immediately began packing up his things in preparation to leave.
"I'll wait for your good news," Xu Feng replied calmly, trying not to reveal any signs of anxiety. These vendors had been vetted by Wuhua Island, so there was almost no chance of fraud.
Xu Feng's urgency in purchasing pills stemmed from his desire to break through his current realm and rapidly increase his strength. The Otherworldly Secret Realm would be a battleground where various sects would test their strengths against one another. The Loose Cultivator Alliance was disorganized; Xu Feng would have to rely solely on himself if he wanted to achieve anything significant there—he needed the power to defeat Hua Du.
The situation in the Otherworldly Secret Realm was complex; having more strength meant more chances of survival.
Upon returning to his residence, the loose cultivators were busy with their own affairs—some were out pursuing female disciples from other sects, some were cultivating, while others chatted idly in their rooms.
Half-Dead Bao did not go out today. Upon seeing Xu Feng enter with a hesitant expression, Xu Feng directly informed Half-Dead Bao of news he was reluctant to hear.
"I won't be participating in the final match against Jin Dalai," Xu Feng stated, without providing a reason.
"Oh," Half-Dead Bao replied, not asking for an explanation. Xu Feng's words were expected, and Half-Dead Bao's last glimmer of hope for adventure was extinguished.
The journey of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to Wuhua Island had come to an end. Although there was some regret, overall, they achieved their goal and successfully entered the Final Four. The cooperation between both sides could be deemed a complete success.
Once in his room, Xu Feng immediately began his cultivation. After the finals, the Loose Cultivator Alliance would leave Wuhua Island, returning to their respective homes. During these two days leading up to the finals, Xu Feng decided to push for the second layer of the Wood Element Cultivation Method.
Without any Yuan Ling Dan for the Wood Element, Xu Feng could only continue using the previous Great Recovery Pill. To prepare for this breakthrough, he specifically bought another bottle, so now he had two bottles of Great Recovery Pill. If he still failed, it would truly be hopeless.
The Weak Water Three Thousand Technique had already advanced to the second layer. The relationship between the Wood Element and the Water Element was more harmonious than with other elements. With a thought, Xu Feng activated the "Heart Seal" of the Control Vein Technique. The gold, fire, and earth elements were all shut down as spiritual energy surged rapidly from the ground into Xu Feng's Dantian.
While Xu Feng was diligently cultivating, another confrontation was unfolding in the building where the New Moon Sect resided.
All disciples of the New Moon Sect had been taken outside, leaving only two people inside: one was Chu Wushang, and the other was Cai Shujun.
"I don't want to fight anymore," Cai Shujun said. "Hua Du is a very strong opponent."
"Are you afraid of him?" Chu Wushang looked at Cai Shujun. "Are you afraid of his Ninth Sword?"
"It's not fear; I just suddenly don't want to fight anymore," Cai Shujun sighed. "Our battlefield is in the Otherworldly Secret Realm, not here."
"Chu Wushang" replied, "If we win against him, we can secure ten more spots to enter the Otherworldly Secret Realm. These ten people can bring great wealth to our sect. If we defeat him, we will be number one in Liuxiang, attracting more talented individuals to join our New Moon Sect, becoming our fresh force."
"We're already in the finals; there's only a difference of two spots between first and second." Cai Shujun stood firm. This conversation no longer resembled that of a leader and disciple but rather two opponents of equal standing bargaining with each other.
"You are giving up an opportunity to benefit our sect because of personal feelings. Can you justify that to the Sect?" Chu Wushang's tone became stern.
"Master only allowed me to enter the Final Four," Cai Shujun insisted, "In the first Mistaken Sword Hall, we had a chance to win first place, but each time we stopped at the Final Four." This statement was quite clear; whatever the master instructed me to do, I would do.
"You," Chu Wushang said, clearly infuriated but suppressing his anger, "The Grand Elder allowed you to enter the Final Four, but did not prevent you from striving for first place. As long as you have the strength, you should fight for the sect."
Qiu Wuling was the elder of the New Moon Sect and also its direct lineage. The New Moon Sect was originally founded by Qiu Wuling's ancestors and later passed through several hands until it reached Chu Wushang. However, the core strength of the New Moon Sect still consisted of the Qiu family. The manpower under Chu Wushang was insufficient to independently support the New Moon Sect, and as the sect leader, he did not possess absolute power.
This was also why Cai Shujun dared to confront Chu Wushang; he had no authority over the people of Mistaken Sword Hall. If Jiang Quan were in the finals this time, then it would be his decision.
"Sorry, Sect Leader," Cai Shujun bowed respectfully and said, "I am not capable enough." He once again clearly rejected Chu Wushang's request.
Chu Wushang could no longer sit still; he snorted heavily and stormed out.
Two hours later, Xu Feng emerged from his room. The blue energy barrier dissipated, revealing Xu Feng's profound eyes. After two attempts, he finally successfully cultivated the second layer of Mu Ling Dao's Cultivation Method and mastered Ironwood Grove's Combat Techniques. Now, using Ironwood Grove felt like raising a powerful wooden shield; its defensive power was at least equal to that of Earth King Armor.
Meanwhile, the two newly purchased bottles of Great Recovery Pill had already been emptied.
