Chapter 1289: Chapter 534: Two Rushed Years [Seeking Subscription]_2
After following this person to a quaint courtyard deep within the Yuan Puppet Sect, Zhou Chun saw the "Master Qianji" he was to visit.
This puppet master appeared very elderly, with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, seemingly having little lifespan left, and his cultivation level remained at the Golden Core Middle Stage.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Zhou Chun, he directly said to Zhou Chun, "The puppet remnants sent over by Taoist Friend Luo previously truly inspired me greatly, and I gained unique insights. Now her letter mentions that you have even more complete puppet remnants in your possession; might I take a look?"
"Of course you may."
Zhou Chun nodded and then took out the nearly intact archer warrior puppet from his Storage Pouch.
"Indeed, it’s a puppet from the same origin!"
Upon seeing the design of the archer warrior puppet, Master Qianji’s eyes lit up, and he immediately beckoned for the puppet to come to him for a closer examination.
Engrossed in the examination, he seemed to lose track of time entirely, forgetting Zhou Chun’s presence as an outsider.
Unwilling to interrupt him rashly, Zhou Chun feared that he might irritate Master Qianji and ruin the chance to exchange for a fourth-tier puppet.
Consequently, Zhou Chun waited patiently for more than half a day before Master Qianji emerged from his all-encompassing focus, suddenly realizing there was still a guest present.
"I’m getting old, always forgetting things like this. I apologize for keeping you waiting, Taoist Friend Zhou."
He tapped his forehead, offering Zhou Chun a contrite apology, then said, "The puppet you’ve brought, Taoist Friend Zhou, is indeed well-preserved, and could potentially be repaired. What would you like to exchange it for?"
"I wish to exchange it for a fourth-order puppet!"
Zhou Chun stated his intention without hesitation.
On hearing this, Master Qianji immediately nodded and said, "Hmm, the request is not unreasonable. I happen to have a few puppets for exchange, Taoist Friend Zhou, please choose one!"
With that said, he took out three puppets from his Storage Pouch for Zhou Chun to select.
The three puppets were the ape puppet, the wolf puppet, and the tortoise puppet, each focusing on different aspects.
The wolf puppet excels in offense, the tortoise puppet in defense, and the ape puppet is more balanced.
After some contemplation, Zhou Chun chose the ape puppet.
His purpose for exchanging for a fourth-tier puppet was not for himself, but to enhance the Zhou Family’s foundation.
Compared to the other two puppets, which specialized heavily, the ape puppet undoubtedly met his requirements better.
"Now that Taoist Friend Zhou has made a choice, this puppet is yours. If it becomes damaged and you need repairs in the future, please contact our sect. We will charge based on the repair difficulty."
As Master Qianji spoke, he put away the other two puppets.
"I understand. Thank you, Master, for the generosity."
Zhou Chun’s expression showed delight, and he immediately bowed to express his thanks before putting away the ape puppet.
He hadn’t expected that things would go this smoothly.
Master Qianji seemed unconcerned about where Zhou Chun got the archer warrior puppet from, or maybe he adhered strictly to the cultivation world’s norms, not inquiring about such items’ origins.
Having achieved his goal, Zhou Chun didn’t linger in the Yuan Puppet Sect and soon bid farewell and left.
On the way back to Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun remained extremely cautious, wary that Master Qianji might try to deceive him and secretly plan an attack.
But it turned out he was overthinking it; his journey back was smooth, without encountering any trouble.
This left him marveling that there were still normal people within the cultivation world!
Upon returning to Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun immediately focused on collecting Spiritual Medicine to prepare the Ancient Dust Pills.
His persona, Zhang Liang, had been established in Tianyuan Immortal City for decades, if not a century, and he had connections with numerous cultivators.
At this time, Zhou Chun widely announced, even posting collection tasks at "Tianyuan Hall," quickly informing many Purple Mansion and Golden Core stage cultivators in the city of his high-priced acquisition of certain Spiritual Medicines.
Such actions would certainly prompt those with the relevant Spiritual Medicines to exploit the situation and raise prices, but it allowed Zhou Chun to collect the materials much faster.
He wasn’t short on Spirit Coins at the moment, having already hoarded many ordinary thousand-year Spiritual Medicines, so he could bear the inflated transactions.
Now, Zhou Chun had only one goal: to quickly elevate a Spirit Pet to the fourth-tier!
It proved true that a Golden Core stage cultivator willing to invest heavily could gather most thousand-year Spiritual Medicines over time, aside from a few rare Treasure Medicines and rare Dharma Treasure materials.
Zhou Chun spent three to five times the normal price to purchase, adding to the stock he already had. Within two years, he gathered enough materials for two batches of Ancient Dust Pills.
During this period, Luo Qingni was still practicing, intermittently researching the alchemy inheritance Zhou Chun gave her and occasionally refining pills.
Once Zhou Chun gathered all the materials, she immediately proceeded to refine the Ancient Dust Pills for him.
Perhaps due to having practiced a few more times, or perhaps having improved her alchemy skills, Luo Qingni successfully yielded fourteen pills from two batches this time.
Having obtained these fourteen Ancient Dust Pills, Zhou Chun promptly allocated them.
