Su Ping had a Breakthrough to the Cultivation Qi Training Fourth Stage.
He did nothing but sleep.
When he woke up, he was already at the Cultivation Qi Training Fourth Stage, officially entering the Cultivation Qi Training Middle Stage!
Su Ping was not surprised by this; he had been accumulating strength for a long time and was only a step away from the Fourth Stage.
With the help of purification spiritual medicine, he cleansed the pill toxins and healed his hidden physical ailments.
Advancing was naturally a matter of course!
After sitting in meditation for a while, greeting the morning sun, and familiarizing himself with the Cultivation Qi Training Fourth Stage Realm, which he had sought for twenty years but never attained.
Su Ping took out the Storage Pouch he carried with him.
This Storage Pouch, about the size of a common person's fist, was refined from the fur of a Yao Beast called the Empty Mouse; though fist-sized on the outside, it had an internal space of one cubic meter and could store thousands of kilograms of heavy objects without the carrier feeling uncomfortable.
It was truly an essential item for the vast number of Cultivators who could not afford genuine spatial storage.
It was also thanks to the Crimson Kite Immortal Sect, where an Elder five hundred years ago solved the problem of large-scale breeding of Empty Mice, directly driving the value of Storage Pouches to rock bottom.
This allowed even Outer Sect Disciples like Su Ping to save up and buy one.
Su Ping took a map out of the pouch.
He quickly found the most suitable Cultivation World Market around Jinque City—Nine Leaves Market!
Nine Leaves Market was located three hundred kilometers from Jinque City on Nine Leaves Mountain, and it was a semi-official market.
The market managers came from the Nine Leaves Yun family, a Foundation Establishment Family affiliated with the Immortal Sect.
This Yun family once produced an Immortal Sect Elder.
And now, several of their clan members were Inner Sect Disciples or deacons of the Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, this Nine Leaves Market was of a Low Grade, with its main clientele being Cultivators like Su Ping who actively descended to the Mortal world, as well as Loose Cultivators who failed to enter the Immortal Sect but gained a Legacy for various reasons.
Most of these Loose Cultivators possessed pseudo-Spiritual Roots, not even Low Grade Spiritual Roots; a very small number were lucky individuals who missed the Rising Immortal Assembly or gained an Opportunity to improve their Spiritual Roots.
Poverty and destitution were their most prominent characteristics.
Therefore, they did not pose a significant conflict of interest to the official markets.
The Crimson Kite Immortal Sect, as the behemoth in this land, tacitly approved of this.
A distance of over a hundred kilometers was not far for Su Ping, who was at the Cultivation Qi Training Fourth Stage.
After eating the millet porridge meticulously prepared by the maid, he set off, and before noon, Su Ping saw Nine Leaves Mountain shrouded in mist.
Looking at the mist before him, the advantage of being an Immortal Sect member became apparent.
Even though he was just an unpromising Outer Sect Disciple, Su Ping entered the mist and held up his identity token.
The mist immediately receded, revealing a path leading to Nine Leaves Mountain.
Following the path, as he neared the mountaintop, Su Ping entered the market's range and felt the Spiritual Qi that brought him physical and mental pleasure.
Immediately after, the surrounding mist completely dissipated.
Nine Leaves Market, surrounded by dozens of acres of Spirit Fields, also came into Su Ping's view.
Nine Leaves Mountain had a Low Grade First Rank Spiritual Vein, and the market, Spirit Fields, and surrounding mist formation were all built relying on it.
Su Ping simply reported his origin at the entrance and was allowed to enter Nine Leaves Market.
Then, Su Ping discovered that he, at the Cultivation Qi Training Fourth Stage, had surprisingly become a Grandmaster in the market!
Looking around, the pedestrians or peddlers were mostly dressed as swordsmen or scholars.
Each of them looked extraordinary, at least possessing one-fifth of his charm.
Upon closer inspection, most were Loose Cultivators at the Cultivation Qi Training First Stage with weak Foundations.
Occasionally, there would be one or two at the Cultivation Qi Training Second Stage, but they were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Dragon scales.
There was no other way; even if pseudo-Spiritual Roots painstakingly entered Cultivation Qi Training, they would be limited to the Cultivation Qi Training First and Second Stages.
Without some Opportunity, it was almost impossible to enter the Cultivation Qi Training Middle Stage.
Su Ping looked at the stall vendors, many of whom were selling Mortal items.
He did not intend to waste time and went straight to the most prominent Yun family-operated Yun Bao Pavilion in the market.
Upon arriving here, Su Ping finally saw a Cultivator of his own Rank, a white-haired, senile Old Cultivator who was the local guardian.
With just a glance, Su Ping could confirm that the Old Cultivator's mindset was not much different from his own a month ago.
It was just that he chose to be an Inspector in a Mortal city.
And this one, perhaps a Family Cultivator, chose to come here to serve his Family, playing out his remaining years.
The Old Cultivator saw Su Ping, was momentarily startled, then treated Su Ping as a normal Immortal Sect Disciple who had descended the mountain for experience.
There was no helping it; although Su Ping's appearance seemed a bit old, after being cleansed by the purification spiritual medicine, he now gave off a gentle and pure feeling, and his age, in the Cultivation World, was considered to be at a stage where one could still strive.
It was hard to believe he would be a Mortal Inspector who had cut off his own future.
Therefore, the Old Cultivator was quite enthusiastic towards Su Ping, not only greeting him proactively but also shouting to his attendant:
"A distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Why aren't you serving tea quickly, good tea!"
After resting for a while, the Old Cultivator introduced Yun Bao Pavilion's treasures to Su Ping.
Calling them treasures, they were mostly a few Magical Artifacts or Talismans usable by those in the Cultivation Qi Training Early Stage.
The Peiyuan Pill, which Su Ping had also taken, was considered a treasure in this Yun Bao Pavilion.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell Qi Blood Waste Pills here?"
Su Ping scanned these treasures, which were 20% higher than the market price of normal markets, and asked.
"Qi Blood Waste Pills?"
The Old Cultivator glanced at Su Ping, feeling a little disappointed, but still maintained his enthusiasm on his face:
"Fellow Daoist, how many Qi Blood Waste Pills do you intend to buy?"
"We mainly have two types here: Peiyuan Pill Qi Blood Waste Pill and Qi and Blood Pill Qi Blood Waste Pill."
"Qi Blood Waste Pills can quickly raise a Martial Artist's Cultivation to the Realm of a Grandmaster."
"Although the Peiyuan Pill Qi Blood Waste Pill is not as effective for Martial Artists, it is superior in its mild medicinal properties; besides increasing a Martial Artist's Cultivation, it can also be used to strengthen the bodies of Mortals… Of course, none should be consumed in excess!"
"Pill toxins only hinder our Cultivators' Cultivation and Breakthroughs, but they can take the lives of those Mortals."
"Furthermore…"
Perhaps seeing that Su Ping was a novice who hadn't had much contact with the Mortal World, and also to sell more Spirit Stones, the Old Cultivator continued to remind him:
"Peiyuan Pill Qi Blood Waste Pills can also be used to feed those highly spiritual Mortal Beasts."
"Our Yun family has Spirit Beasts that are fine horses obtained by feeding Qi Blood Waste Pills to the horses."
"Once they become Spirit Beasts, let alone fine horses, even a Ling fish can be sold for several Spirit Stones!"
Su Ping's heart stirred upon hearing this; he naturally wouldn't believe these sales pitches, he only realized the key point within.
Outwardly, Su Ping shook his head:
"It sounds good, but what is the success rate?"
"And I believe that even if you find a highly spiritual Mortal Beast, feeding it Qi Blood Waste Pills will most likely not turn it into a Spirit Beast, right?"
"And just like Mortals, these Mortal Beasts also accumulate pill toxins and cannot eat too many Qi Blood Waste Pills, right?"
The Old Cultivator did not refute upon hearing this, nodding and saying:
"Indeed, as Fellow Daoist said, but it ultimately gives these Qi Blood Waste Pills another use."
"If Fellow Daoist truly has spiritual Mortal Beasts, you can try it; even if it doesn't succeed, such Mortal Beasts that have eaten Qi Blood Waste Pills, when used by Mortal Families to guard their homes, will not be worse than ordinary Martial Artists, and they will be more loyal."
Su Ping pretended to be persuaded and nodded slightly.
However, he thought of the purification spiritual medicine from the Fishing Mall.
Relying on this purification spiritual medicine, which was neither Cultivation nor scientific, combined with life spirit medicine, which would not be less effective, to forcibly extend life.
Mortal Beasts could eat to their heart's content as long as they didn't die from it.
His success rate in cultivating Mortal Beasts into Spirit Beasts…
Could only be!
One thousand percent!
