The heat wave, like a flood that had breached a dam, rapidly stirred the Spiritual Power within Lin Xuanâs body.
As he repeatedly circulated the Longevity Technique, the greenish Spiritual Power inside him grew stronger.
Under the guidance of the Longevity Technique, the green Spiritual Power quickly broke through the Fourth Spirit Vein, forming a fourth cycle within Lin Xuanâs body.
Feeling the explosive increase in Spiritual Power, Lin Xuanâs lips slightly curled upward, the bottleneck that originally required four to five days to breakthrough had been directly overcome with the stimulation of the Spiritual Wine.
âNow my strength has increased at least twice as much compared to the Third Level of Pulse Condensation, no wonder they say cultivating is like climbing a ladder, one tier utterly surpasses the previous one.â Lin Xuan threw a punch and created a big pit in the mountain wall, with cracks spreading around like a spider-web.
âIndeed, I still canât precisely control my power.â Lin Xuan knew that if he could properly control his power, he would be able to concentrate all of it at one point, and directly pierce through the mountain wall instead of just smashing the rocks as he did now.
However, he wasnât disheartened in the slightest, knowing that once he mastered the Thunder Move Sword Technique, he would be able to control his power accurately, thus enhancing his strength once again.
Nevertheless, to get the Lord of Wine to teach him swordsmanship, he still needed to find a Spirit Fruit.
Lin Xuan dared not dream of getting a thousand-year-old spiritual fruit, but a hundred-year-old Spirit Fruit was attainable if he paid a certain price.
âWhat a pity to lose a good pot of wine.â Lin Xuan sighed.
âEh, why am I speaking like that drunkard?â Lin Xuan shivered, âSeems like heâll lead me astray in the future!â
He opened his backpack and took out several white porcelain bottles, then poured the remaining Spiritual Wine from the gourd into these bottles, filling each half full, then carefully sealed the caps.
Lin Xuan stowed away the Purple Gourd, then, holding the white porcelain bottles and a backpack full of wild beast materials, he headed towards the nearest city.
Leyang City was a nearby city nestled against the Taihang Mountain Range, not far from the Xuantian Sect, and many disciples from the Xuantian Sect came here to shop.
Due to its proximity to the mountain, there were many Mercenary Groups at the early stages of mountain exploration, and coupled with frequent visits from Xuantian Sect disciples, commerce in Leyang City was highly developed.
Amongst these, the most famous were the tower, two squares, and three treasure streets.
The âtowerâ referred to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, which could be said to be the largest trading post in Leyang City, offering bizarre and exotic treasures, âyou canât imagine what you canât buy here.â
Of course, the precondition was having sufficient money; it wasnât advisable for those who werenât rich to go there.
Otherwise, just the prices alone would be shocking!
The âtwo squaresâ were two markets, the Heavenly Fragrance Square and the Prosperity Workshop.
Although not as famous as the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, they were top-notch trading places, offering comprehensive goods that were also cheaper than those in Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, but still not affordable for ordinary people.
The âthree treasure streetsâ referred to three commercial streets related to martial artists.
However, the goods there were very mixed, often littered with fake goods alongside genuine treasures.
Thus, this place could be described as both heaven and hell; with enough luck, one might even find otherworldly treasures.
After arriving in Leyang City, Lin Xuan bought a loose black robe with a hood to cover his entire body.
Being cautious was necessary when traveling.
He couldnât afford to go to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower since just the entrance fee was thirty low-grade spiritual stones, which made Lin Xuanâs eyes turn red.
As for shopping in the commercial streets, he planned to wait until he had the money, and forget about selling goods.
So he headed straight to the Heavenly Fragrance Square in the Prosperity Workshop.
Positioned in the south of Leyang City, Heavenly Fragrance Square covered a vast area.
The owner behind it was a stunning beauty, and she had a group of beautiful girls under her employ.
These girls often took care of business in the Heavenly Fragrance Square, attracting many martial artists who came admiringly.
Lin Xuan stood at the entrance of Heavenly Fragrance Square, watching the crowd surge like a tide, and he took a deep breath before stepping inside.
Many people dressed in black robes like Lin Xuan were in the crowd, so he did not stand out.
Touching the three small bottles in his cloak, he walked forward with the flow of people.
The interior was divided into several areas that efficiently guided the flow of people, and Lin Xuan, while
âHelp!
Someoneâs stealing in broad daylight!â
Lin Xuan was stunned, not expecting the chubby man to falsely accuse him.
Before he could react, the surrounding crowd had already enclosed him.
The middle-aged chubby man continued to shout loudly, âYou wanted to buy the hundred-year-old Spirit Fruit, and I kindly agreed to sell it to you, but then you tried to snatch it by force.
Do you really think Iâm easy to bully?â
The surrounding crowd also began to murmur, with many criticizing Lin Xuan.
âMake way, clear out, who dares to cause trouble in Heavenly Fragrance Square?â The Heavenly Fragrance Square Guard Team approached from a distance.
