My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Mo Zhu said with a chuckle, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm a bit tired today and want to go back to rest, I would have insisted on selling for six spirit stones."

"Daoist."

Chen Sansi then asked, "May I inquire about the price of your talisman heritage?"

"That's not for sale!"

Mo Zhu firmly refused, "I rely on these few talismans to make a living. If I sold them to you, what if you started competing with me? I'd starve to death!"

"Alright then, just give me these two talismans."

Chen Sansi said as he took out a spirit stone.

Cash and goods exchanged hands.

He really couldn't fly, so buying two talismans for emergencies was indeed appropriate.

"Daoist, these Body Refining Pills you have, not many people need them."

Mo Zhu advised, "You can go to the very west end of Fish and Dragon Collection and find a stall selling Mystical Weapons. The stall is owned by the Martial Arts Family of the Bai Family. They will definitely have a need for Martial Arts Elixirs."

"Martial Arts Family?"

Chen Sansi inquired, "Are there also Martial Cultivator families?"

"Of course there are. Martial Cultivators are few, but not extinct. Not only is the Bai Family a Martial Cultivator family, but their clan leader is also a Great Cultivator in the True Power Late Stage. However..."

Mo Zhu lowered his voice, "In recent years, the Bai Family has refused to sell their services, and they've been suppressed by several surrounding families. Now they can't even get a shop, so they can only set up a stall at Fish and Dragon Collection like the rest of us."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Chen Sansi then asked, "May I dare to ask Daoist, do you know where I could buy inheritances like Cultivation Techniques?"

"Cultivation Technique?"

Mo Zhu answered earnestly, "You can't buy Cultivation Techniques here. Even if you did, they'd be nothing but poor-quality, common goods. Really good Cultivation Techniques are either sect secrets or family heritages, and almost no one would sell them."

"However... "

"If you really want it, you should check out Lake Heart Island at the end of Fish and Dragon Collection. That's the black market. You should understand what kind of things you can find there. But the safety there isn't as guaranteed as in Fish and Dragon Collection. You'll need to weigh the risks and benefits yourself."

"Thank you, Daoist."

Chen Sansi cupped his fists in gratitude.

These two talismans were a good purchase.

Thinking back, just for pointing out the way, this old Mo had demanded three spirit stones, a true expert in swindling those unfamiliar with the ways of the world.

Seeing that the Elixir Pills were not selling.

Chen Sansi decided not to waste any more time and began packing up to leave.

Following old Mo's directions, he walked straight down the street and soon saw at the corner a very distinctive stall with swords and sabers on display, which looked somewhat out of place in the marketplace, as they weren't Magic Artifacts.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a somewhat scholarly air. Through [Qi Observation Skill], Chen Sansi could roughly judge that the man's strength was above Martial Saint, likely in the True Power Realm.

"Esteemed sir, are you here to buy weapons?"

The middle-aged man introduced, "We have all sorts of top-quality Xuan Weapons here, all personally made by me. I also have weapons suitable for those in the True Power Realm. If you're interested, I can take some out for you to have a look."

"My apologies, brother, I'm not here to buy weapons."

Chen Sansi somewhat awkwardly said, "I have come to sell something."

"Sell something?"

Disappointment showed on the middle-aged man's face, "People sell their wares at their own stalls, what's with coming to someone else's location to do so?"

"Brother, why don't you take a look first?"

Chen Sansi took out an Elixir Pill from a porcelain bottle and said, "I have both Nourishing Pills and True Martial Pills, which you might not need, but perhaps they could be useful for the younger generation in your family. They are all quality goods."

"These two?"

The middle-aged man showed some interest, picked up the Nourishing Pill to examine it closely and asked, "Can I take a look at the True Martial Pill?"

Chen Sansi opened another porcelain bottle, but didn't hand it over. Instead, he let the man observe it from a distance.

A True Martial Pill was worth two hundred spirit stones, naturally not something to be treated as casually as a Nourishing Pill.

"Sir!"

The middle-aged man stood up, "Could it be that you're an Alchemist specializing in refining Martial Cultivator Elixir Pills?"

"Not quite."

Chen Sansi candidly replied, "But I am indeed an Alchemist."

"I'll take all these Elixir Pills."

The middle-aged man said quite generously, "I'll give you the highest market price for them. Also, Daoist, could you refine Second-Tier Body Refining Pills? I'll buy the whole lot!"

"I'm only a First-order Alchemist."

Chen Sansi shook his head.

Alchemy is linked to the strength of one's Divine Sense.

And Divine Sense is connected to the level of Magic Cultivation.

To refine Second-Tier Elixir Pills, one must possess a sufficiently strong Divine Sense.

From this perspective,

raising one's Magic Cultivation level is very necessary.

Pure Martial Cultivators basically can't rely on themselves for alchemy, talisman painting, or formation setting.

"I see."

The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, then introduced himself, "I am Bai Linxun. May I ask for your respected name?"

Chen Sansi provided a false name.

After getting to know each other, Bai Linxun invited, "You are an Alchemist, but you refine Elixir Pills for Martial Cultivators; you must be a rare talent in both martial arts and magic. Coming to Fish and Dragon Collection for business, you must be a Loose Cultivator."

"I wonder, Brother Zhang, would you be interested in joining our Bai Family? To become our patron, where the monthly supply of spirit stones won't be less, and we will share Martial Arts Resources with you."

"I've grown accustomed to roaming freely."

Chen Sansi declined, "I'm afraid I'm not suited to stay in one place."

"Absolutely not?"

Bai Linxun added, "Brother Zhang, the path of Martial Cultivation is filled with hardships and hurdles. Without the support of a power, it is very difficult to break through the True Power Realm before the age of one hundred twenty."

"Besides, Brother Zhang, you don't have Second-tier pill recipes for the True Power Realm, do you?"

"I can make a promise."
