Ten days later.
In the First Circle wizard area of Lilith's Cottage, in Senior Advisor Francis's office, Locke entered.
The academy's organizational structure seemed relatively flat, but Lilith's Cottage had seven Senior Advisors internally. These seven Senior Advisors were respectively responsible for different formal wizards and their students, as well as various departments and public facilities within Lilith's Cottage.
The Dean and Vice Dean of Lilith's Cottage were resp...

Locke calmed himself down and suppressed his slightly excited emotions. "First, I still need to prepare the Memory Ointment again to see if I can replicate it."
"Second, I need to add 'anti-theft mechanisms' to my Memory Ointment." Locke considered, "According to what Teacher Sophia said, I can add some completely useless materials to the Memory Ointment, making it difficult for potion masters to crack for a long time, unable to distinguish which are effective components."

The physical condition of that Foundation Establishment mid-stage ancestor of the Zheng family was a mystery.
At this moment, the leader of these masked cultivators actually asserted that he wouldn't live much longer.
Zheng Yunting's eyes turned blood red as he shouted hoarsely, "My family's ancestor is in his prime! If you don't believe it, why don't you go try him yourselves?"
"Is that so?" The masked cultivator sneered coldly.
"If he's unharmed, why would the Zheng ...

That estate was indeed not far away.
After just a quarter of an hour, the two arrived.
Li Chang'an remained vigilant throughout, as this was after all the lair of two robber cultivators, and there might be traps they had set up inside.
Therefore, he sealed Wang Er's cultivation.
He had his puppet body and Big Yellow follow Wang Er to retrieve the treasure from underground in the estate.
Before long, that treasure appeared before Li Chang'an's eyes.

What appeared before Li Chang'an was a seated skeleton.
In front of the skeleton was a stone table, and on the stone table lay a storage bag.
"That storage bag should be the opportunity." Li Chang'an's gaze focused, staring at the storage bag.
He remained cautious and didn't act directly, as the tragic fate of Xu Fugui and others was still fresh in his memory.
For safety's sake, he controlled his puppet to go forward and take the storage bag.
The entire process w...

Without realizing it, it was already deep into the night.
Li Chang'an's door suddenly opened.
A figure wearing a black robe and bamboo hat walked out from the room, hurrying toward the outskirts of the market.
"Huh? This old turtle is actually going out?"
In the shadows, Wang Er, who was responsible for surveillance, shuddered with excitement appearing in his eyes.
Seeing that figure walk out of the market, he was even more delighted.
"Good, good, good! It ...

These two bandit cultivators were also a pair of brothers.
One was called Wang Da, the other Wang Er.
They had been in the bandit business for many years and had almost always been smooth sailing. They had never been this frustrated before!
"Don't be anxious, let's wait a bit more. I don't believe this old turtle will never leave the market in his entire life!" Wang Da gritted his teeth.
When encountering cultivators like Li Chang'an, most bandit cultivators would get ...

Actually, Big Yellow had already followed Zheng Jinbao more than once.
The previous times, nothing unusual was discovered.
But this time was different.
Zheng Jinbao went to meet two people.
The auras of those two people were exactly the same as the two mid-stage Qi Refining bandit cultivators that Big Yellow had sensed last time!
"It really is Zheng Jinbao."
After receiving the news, Li Chang'an wasn't surprised at all.

"Mid-grade spiritual roots?" Zheng Qingqing seemed somewhat helpless.
In the cultivation world, inferior spiritual roots and low-grade spiritual roots made up the majority.
Most rogue cultivators had these two types of spiritual roots.
After all, cultivators with mid-grade spiritual roots basically had no problem joining sects.
With such talent, as long as they didn't lack resources, Foundation Establishment was very promising.

"Puppet technique is also a skill that can make money while sitting at home!" Li Chang'an's face showed delight.
Puppet technique was considered one of the most prominent skills among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
When cultivators explored ancient ruins or predecessors' cave dwellings, they inevitably needed puppets to scout ahead.
When fighting with others, having an additional puppet could provide an extra chance of victory.
"Good puppets never worry about lack of...

Only when both sides have Foundation Establishment cultivators in equal numbers can balance be maintained.
Now the balance has been broken.
The Cao and Wu families will most likely take this opportunity to force the Zheng family to give up interests in the market.
"However, is that Foundation Establishment mid-stage ancestor of the Zheng family truly dead?" Li Chang'an pondered.
He was worried about the peace of the market being disrupted.
Xu Fugui, however, was ...

Li Chang'an was different from other talisman masters. The talisman path was merely one of his methods for earning cultivation resources.
What he truly relied on was the divination that refreshed daily!
Even without talisman inheritance, he might obtain other inheritances in the future. In short, he didn't need to join the Zheng family to obtain various resources.
"Marrying into the Zheng family does have benefits, but the drawbacks are greater," Li Chang'an thought to himse...

Inside the room, Li Chang'an wiped away the prohibitions on the stone statue's surface, then shattered it with a palm strike.
A small, exquisite bag appeared among the rubble.
"So this is a spirit beast bag?" Li Chang'an picked up the bag and examined it carefully, immediately showing surprise on his face.
The space inside this bag was much larger than he had expected, nearly ten cubic zhang!
One must know that each of the several storage bags he had obtained only had ...

"How much for this item?" Li Chang'an approached the stall and casually picked up a severely damaged magical artifact.
The stall owner glanced at it. "Five spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an pondered briefly and put the artifact down. Then he asked about several other items.
The stall owner was quite patient. After all, accumulating spirit stones wasn't easy, and most cultivators only asked without buying. He was already used to it.
At this moment, a famili...

At this point, both Wu Yun and Wu Feng brothers had died at Li Chang'an's hands.
Li Chang'an showed an expression of emotion.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Yun, I've sent your brother down to reunite with you."
Subsequently, he skillfully searched Wu Feng's corpse and took his storage bag.
After roughly scanning the contents of the storage bag, Li Chang'an immediately beamed with joy.

Wu Feng told Li Chang'an both the time and location. He even thoughtfully reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Li, a first-tier mid-grade inheritance is quite valuable. You'd better prepare well, as there will surely be many people competing with you for it."

After a moment, Wu Feng cupped his hands and took his leave.

Wang Hu's words left Li Chang'an stunned. After just a few exchanges, he had determined that Li Chang'an had pure thoughts.
"This judgment is rather hasty," Li Chang'an inwardly complained.
He felt that this senior was the one who was truly pure-hearted. This was fine by him. This way, he could gain more benefits from this trade.

Evening. The three bid their farewells. After some discussion, both Xu Fugui and Sun Yulan decided to wait a bit longer. If there wasn't too much danger in the secret realm, they would go in to try their luck.
"In the secret realm, the greatest danger is actually the cultivators who explore alongside you," Li Chang'an said earnestly, giving them a few more warnings.
Wealth moves people's hearts. When faced with treasures, even blood brothers might turn against each other. In an en...

"The talisman brush that Wu Yun used was also a first-tier low-grade talisman brush, with slightly better quality than mine," Li Chang'an examined a talisman brush.
The brush he had been using was the one he bought at the very beginning. Its quality was quite ordinary, since he had been rather poor back then.
"Now that I'm not short of spirit stones, I can consider purchasing a mid-grade talisman brush," Li Chang'an pondered.
Mid-grade talisman brushes were superior to low-g...

And so, Li Chang'an rejected all invitations and stayed at home wholeheartedly to cultivate and draw talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Li, every word I speak is true, absolutely no falsehoods!" Wu Yun spoke seriously with earnest words.
However, with the divination as a warning, Li Chang'an wouldn't believe anything he said! The divination had just warned that rogue cultivators wanted to trick him out of the market, and then Wu Yun came. How could there be such a coincidence?
Moreover, even without the divination, Li Chang'an wouldn't agree to go.

Most of the craftsmen in the market only possessed first-tier low-grade skills. How rare were mid-grade skills? Especially the four types: pills, talismans, artifacts, and arrays.
In Qinghe Market, talisman masters who possessed mid-grade talisman skills either planned to pass their skills to their descendants or already had disciples.

After chatting for a moment, Zheng Jinbao said he had other matters and turned to leave.
After walking far away, he dropped the smile from his face.
"Damn it, how did that kid become a talisman master?!" Zheng Jinbao couldn't help feeling irritated.

Those cultivators almost all had dim prospects with no hope of turning their fortune...
