With the purchase of 18,000 low-grade spirit stones, Mi Xiaojing instantly became a wealthy member of the Sword Heart Sect. Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could be considered the richest. Of course, compared to the Elemental Infant cultivators, he was still not considered wealthy.

Mi Xiaojing began to buy various materials, talismans, and artifacts. The artifacts were not limited to magical swords; there were also many defensive artifacts. Once attacked, these artifacts would automatically activate. Such artifacts were quite popular in the cultivation world and were mainly used for defense against sneak attacks.

Even though Mi Xiaojing made many purchases, he only spent a little over 3,000 spirit stones. In the cultivation world, spirit stones were a highly valuable currency with strong purchasing power.

Mi Xiaojing’s main focus was on materials. He had a diverse appetite and pursued various materials for alchemy and refining tools. After experiencing the benefits of alchemy, he became even more interested in materials. Regardless of their usefulness, he would collect them first.

This time, his harvest was great. The most important item he obtained was the Azure Descent Banner Formation. It consisted of seven minimum Elemental Infant stage spirit leaves, refined by an Elemental Infant Ancestor. Once deployed, this formation could even withstand attacks from experts in the Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages.

This was the strongest defensive and offensive weapon that Mi Xiaojing had acquired, and it could be considered his trump card. The other items he obtained were also good. Based on the collected alchemy materials, he could refine two new types of spirit pills.

The White Ze Pill could be used by both Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant cultivators. If it was a high-grade pill, even Elemental Infant stage cultivators could use it.

Compared to the Cultivating Essence Pill, the main function of this pill was healing. It was not inferior to the Yin-Yang Pill in terms of healing effects. However, the Yin-Yang Pill was better for Elemental Infants, while the White Ze Pill had better healing effects. The two pills had different treatment directions.

This pill was quite common, not because it was bad, but because many cultivators could refine it. Even in the Sword Heart Sect, there were two people who could refine the White Ze Pill: Chen Shouyi and Mu Hengyuan. Chen Shouyi’s refinement was slightly better, as he could stably refine low-grade White Ze Pills, but there was no guarantee for middle-grade pills.

The White Ze Pill was much more famous in the Sword Heart Sect than the Cultivating Essence Pill.

There was another pill that could be used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. Mi Xiaojing happened to collect three complete sets of materials for this pill. Although he couldn’t use it himself, this transaction made him realize that the truly wealthy people were the experts in the Elemental Infant stage.

The things needed by Elemental Infant stage cultivators were the good stuff.

This pill was called the Nurturing Infant Pill and was also an ancient pill formula. It was possible that no one in the Sword Heart Sect knew about it. Even if Mi Xiaojing mentioned the name, he wouldn’t be able to find its origin. This was also an ancient pill formula given by Wang Weijun. The old guy indeed had many good things in his possession.

The trading event had not yet ended, but Mi Xiaojing left early with Wang Weijun’s reminder. Many people had already started to leave at this time.

Mi Xiaojing secretly left. Each stone chamber had a path leading to the outside, allowing one to leave at any time. This trading venue was designed very cleverly, making it difficult to determine the identity of a specific person. Even the Elemental Infant stage Grand Elder, Immortal Maiden Biluo, would need to use certain methods to find a specific person.

As soon as Mi Xiaojing reached the entrance of the cave, he flew out and quickly moved forward, diving into a nearby forest. He swiftly moved through the forest, discarding his mask and black robe.

A few minutes later, Mi Xiaojing appeared on a small road. He changed into the attire of a Qi Refining stage disciple and took out a basket to collect some herbs. Then, he continued walking along the road.

Wang Weijun kept praising, “Good, just like this. No matter what, being cautious is never wrong. It’s good to persist, even if no one is following you and it seems like a waste of effort.” He remembered regretfully how he was beaten by a man and a woman to the point of near death. If he had seen those two again, he would have escaped immediately. He believed that he could escape.

He didn’t fly along the way and instead walked back leisurely. The Sword Heart Sect in spring was full of blooming flowers, and Mi Xiaojing felt extremely happy walking this path. Coupled with obtaining so many good things, he felt a bit proud and lost in his own world.

Suddenly, a person jumped out from the bushes ahead, blocking his path. The person looked Mi Xiaojing up and down, and then his eyes lit up, fixating on the storage bag hanging from Mi Xiaojing’s waist. He became excited.

With a loud whistle, five or six people jumped out, laughing and joking. Mi Xiaojing noticed that they were all low-level disciples, with the highest cultivation level being Great Perfection in Qi Refining. It was obvious that this person was their leader.

Mi Xiaojing quickly calmed down. If he was still at the Great Perfection in Qi Refining stage, he could fight against so many people, but the consequences were uncertain. Fortunately, he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage. Looking at these low-level disciples now was like looking at ordinary chickens and dogs.

“What do you want?” Mi Xiaojing took a step back. The group of people approached him with smiles on their faces, and one of them said, “Kid, where are you from? Tell your big brother.”

“Yeah, look everyone, he actually has a storage bag! He’s richer than all of us.”

The leader rubbed his nose forcefully and spat out a mouthful of phlegm, saying, “Don’t scare the kid.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

“Yeah! Yeah, don’t scare the kid, haha, hahaha!”

Mi Xiaojing actually had a charming smile. In other words, he was quite handsome, giving people the impression of an honest child. His expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, “What do you guys plan to do?”

The leader spat out another mouthful of phlegm and said, “No problem, no problem. We just want to be friends with you, haha, friends! Understand?”

Mi Xiaojing replied, “I don’t understand.”

Someone shouted, “Boss, this kid is a bit stubborn. Should we teach him a lesson first?”

The leader waved his hand and said, “Don’t always resort to violence. We should be kind to others. Do you understand? Understand! I have to say this.”

“Yes, yes, Boss. We should be kind, hehe, be kind.”

“Haha, you’re so funny. Go ask the kid to lend us some spirit stones. This storage bag is good. Let me borrow it for a few days.”

Everyone laughed and joked, and one of them reached out to grab the storage bag hanging from Mi Xiaojing’s waist.

Mi Xiaojing’s face turned cold and he said, “Are you planning to rob me?”

The leader repeatedly waved his hand and said, “Hey, kid, you can’t accuse us like that. Where is the robbery? We just want to borrow your storage bag for fun. Haha, it’s not robbery. We can’t afford that accusation, haha.”

As they were about to grab the storage bag, Mi Xiaojing’s expression turned cold and he said, “Is that so? Alright then!”
