Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
Relying solely on absorbing Spiritual Energy to cultivate, even with the aid of the Heavenly Dao Decree, my progress hasn't been significant.
"Cultivation in the Divine Realm is indeed a struggle. Three days, and even with the Heavenly Dao Decree, I barely made any improvement. Without elixirs and precious resources, breaking through is impossible," Feng Wuchen sighed and shook his head.
If the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower hadn't stayed in the Heavenly Realm to assist Ling Xiaoxiao and the others, Feng Wuchen's cultivation speed would certainly be much faster.
"In such a remote place, the treasures from the commerce association must be scarce, even if there are some, the prices would definitely be outrageous. I'm probably the poorest in the Divine Realm, not having a single Divine Spirit Stone," Feng Wuchen looked disappointed, contemplating going directly to the Main God Realm's center.
Of course, Feng Wuchen was merely thinking about it, not actually planning to go to the Main God Realm's center.
The closer to the center, the more major forces and powerful individuals there are.
If Feng Wuchen, a mere Divine General, encountered trouble, the consequences could be severe.
"Young Master Chen, if you could refine Shenxuan Powder and sell it to the commerce association, you'd soon make a fortune within ten to fifteen days. Divine Spirit Stones are incredibly important in the Divine Realm," Tian Sha's voice echoed.
"How important?" Feng Wuchen asked.
"Divine Spirit Stones are unlike Immortal Spirit Stones from the Land of Oblivion; they contain extremely pure and powerful energy. Countless cultivators rely mostly on Divine Spirit Stones for cultivation," Tian Sha replied respectfully.
"Relying on Divine Spirit Stones for cultivation?" Feng Wuchen was slightly surprised.
"Divine Spirit Stones come in three types: Supreme Divine Spirit Stone, High-grade Divine Spirit Stone, and Low-grade Divine Spirit Stone. One Supreme Divine Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred High-grade Divine Spirit Stones, and one High-grade Divine Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred Low-grade Divine Spirit Stones. Talented disciples of major forces have Supreme Divine Spirit Stones for cultivation, while regular cultivators generally rely on High-grade Divine Spirit Stones, and Low-grade Divine Spirit Stones are used for trade."
"But High-grade Divine Spirit Stones are also extremely precious; having them for cultivation means one is either rich or noble," Tian Sha explained.
"Do powerful individuals like you also rely on Supreme Divine Spirit Stones for cultivation?" Feng Wuchen asked.
"If you can afford elixirs and precious resources, naturally you don't need Supreme Divine Spirit Stones for cultivation. In the absence of everything else, one has to absorb nature's spiritual energy for cultivation. In a remote place like Moyun City, the entire city might not be able to produce even twenty Supreme Divine Spirit Stones," Tian Sha answered.
"Sss..." Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen could imagine just how precious Supreme Divine Spirit Stones are.
"Many precious treasures in the Divine Realm, like rare resources and various precious materials, can only be bought with Supreme Divine Spirit Stones," Tian Sha continued.
"Precious resources can also be purchased with Supreme Divine Spirit Stones?" Feng Wuchen asked in astonishment.
"For some transcendent powers with deep foundations, powerful resources aren't suitable for those with weak cultivation. Lower-level resources are not as valuable as Supreme Divine Spirit Stones. So oftentimes, you can buy rare resources with Supreme Divine Spirit Stones, and Divine Spirit Stones can purchase many things that other treasures can't," Tian Sha replied respectfully.
"True enough." Feng Wuchen nodded slightly.
While pondering how to earn Divine Spirit Stones, Feng Wuchen headed towards the Divine Realm Commerce Association in Moyun City.
"Rare things are always valuable." Feng Wuchen grinned.
...
Divine Realm Commerce Association.
Xu Feng was already waiting at the entrance, not daring to be negligent.
"My Lord!" Seeing Feng Wuchen in the distance, Xu Feng excitedly rushed forward.
"Chief sir, what is..." The guards and several passing cultivators looked stunned at Xu Feng rushing out.
On normal days, Xu Feng carried himself with high arrogance, and they had never seen him greet someone with such a flattering smile.
"Please, my Lord!" Xu Feng gestured respectfully.
"No way..." Seeing Xu Feng's humble demeanor, everyone was shocked again.
The Xu Feng before them was certainly not the Divine Realm Commerce Association's chief alchemist they used to know!
"Your medicinal materials included three rare types. My servants traveled hundreds of miles and only gathered enough of them for five doses. Please give me three more days to supplement them. I've already sent someone to collect more," Xu Feng said respectfully.
"It seems remote places make some rare medicinal materials exceptionally scarce. Selling Shenxuan Powder won't work here," Feng Wuchen thought to himself in disappointment.
Seeing Feng Wuchen not respond, Xu Feng became anxious.
"My Lord, I promise to supplement them within two days!" Xu Feng said frantically, nervously watching Feng Wuchen's expression.
Feng Wuchen remained silent, still contemplating the Shenxuan Powder issue.
The more Feng Wuchen stayed quiet, the more anxious Xu Feng became, fearing Feng Wuchen would refuse to help him due to uncompleted tasks.
"Chief Alchemist!" At this moment, an urgent shout came from another side of the street.
Just as Xu Feng worried about Feng Wuchen's discontent, he resented the shouting voice enormously.
Yet, Xu Feng paid no attention, as if he hadn't heard.
"They're calling you," Feng Wuchen glanced at Xu Feng.
"Yes." Xu Feng nodded and finally turned towards the street's other end.
An elderly man hurriedly ran over, looking immensely flustered, indicating something serious had happened.
Xu Feng looked at the elder and asked, "Elder, what is so urgent?"
"Chief Alchemist, it's bad news. Mei'er's Soul Bone has flared up! Please, Chief Alchemist, hurry and help!" The elder dressed in black satin pleaded desperately.
"Soul Bone flare-up?" Xu Feng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat troubled.
Due to the fire poison, Xu Feng's soul power had dissipated, no longer reaching Spirit Being Level, worrying him he might be powerless to help.
"Elder, I don't have time right now. Plus, I've expended a lot of my soul power, so I fear I can't be of assistance. Lord Gong is in the palace; you should seek his help," Xu Feng said helplessly.
"Lives are at stake; please, Chief Alchemist, come along. I'll go find Lord Gong!" The elder swiftly rushed into the commerce association.
"Soul Bone?" Feng Wuchen exclaimed in surprise, having never heard of Soul Bones.
Seeing Feng Wuchen's astonished expression, Xu Feng quickly said, "My Lord, Soul Bones are possessed by those with unique physiques and are extremely powerful. We aren't sure what they are precisely; we only know they're called Soul Bones. Once flared up, they're incredibly painful, and even Divine King level experts struggle to suppress them, but soul power can control them."
"Young Master Chen, Soul Bones are remarkable. Countless top tier experts covet them. Owning a Soul Bone equals qualifying to step into the Main God Realm; it's a symbol of super geniuses. I never expected someone in this remote place to possess a Soul Bone," Tian Sha transmitted.
"So outrageous?" Feng Wuchen was utterly shocked.
"This must be kept from Divine Realm's experts. Otherwise, the little girl would be doomed," Tian Sha said.
