The next morning.
The residents and peddlers of Shang Yang City pushed open their doors as usual to prepare for today's work. The two streets where the battle had taken place last night had already been washed clean. There was no trace of blood, but the air was still filled with the smell of blood.
Leng Shiqi had returned to his original appearance. His wide black clothes covered half of his face as he walked on the street.
He had not returned to the Shadowwind Ridge to hand in the mission because he still had something to do.
That was to replenish his spirit skills!
In the later stages of Blood Mist Island, for some reason, resources such as cultivation methods and spirit skills became fewer and fewer. Instead, there were more and more spirit stones and pills.
And ever since Leng Shiqi left Blood Mist Island, he had only cultivated the Floating Spirit Steps.
In other words, Leng Shiqi had not expanded his spirit skills for a long time.
Right now, his sword, saber, fist, and spear techniques had already fused into a corresponding powerful move, but the rest were still incomplete.
Leng Shiqi planned to buy some palm techniques, leg techniques, and finger techniques in Shang Yang City. On one hand, he could directly increase his combat strength, and on the other hand, he could use them to see if he could fuse them into a powerful spirit skill.
He patted the hundred or so spirit stones in the bag at his waist and walked into the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street.
Most of the residents in each city were ordinary people. Although Spirit Cultivators and ordinary people lived in the same city, they were from two completely different worlds.
Therefore, every city had streets specially prepared for Spirit Cultivators, known as the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street.
Only Spirit Cultivators could enter the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street. Even if it was a shop worker, even if it was a handyman, he had to be a Spirit Cultivator!
The scale of the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street in different cities was also different. And in a small city like Shang Yang City, there was only one street.
When Leng Shiqi turned into the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street, there were a few people standing guard on the street. When they saw him walking over, they wanted to stop him.
Leng Shiqi did not stop walking or say a word. The spirit energy in his body moved and he emitted the aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Those people immediately returned to their original positions obediently.
Leng Shiqi walked straight into the Spirit Cultivator Commercial Street. It was still early and there were not many people on the street. He then walked into a shop.
After a while, he came out, but his expression didn't seem to be very good.
Then, he entered four shops in succession, all of which sold spiritual techniques.
When he came out of the last shop, his expression was a little strange. It was a mixture of joy and bitterness.
He muttered to himself: "Hah, I didn't think Spirit Skills would be such a scarce resource in this world"
It turned out that Leng Shiqi had visited five shops that sold spiritual techniques in a row, but he had gained very little.
Most of the goods in the shop were materials and spirit tools, but there were very few cultivation methods and spirit techniques.
Because cultivation methods and spirit techniques were basically in the hands of the various spirit cultivator sects, the ones that could be sold in the shops were all unintentionally leaked out.
Even if there were, their ranks were not high. They were only at the first or second level. He didn't even see a single third level spiritual skill.
Moreover, the price was ridiculously high!
Even an ordinary level two spiritual skill would cost around a hundred spirit stones!
Leng Shiqi felt a little weak in his heart. He originally thought that his spirit stones weren't small, but it turned out that it was only enough to buy a level two spiritual skill.
He felt that the price was too high, so much so that he began to miss the days on Bloodmist Island.
However, he finally realized the depth of the Blood Robe Pavilion's foundation. He still remembered that there were thousands of low level spiritual skills on display on the first floor of the Blood Book Hall.
Moreover, as long as he was promoted to Black Clothed Assassin, he would be able to obtain a level three spiritual skill for free. This kind of treatment was not something that an ordinary sect could give.
Later, Leng Shiqi had an idea. He found another way and requested to see the spiritual skills.
Four of the five shops agreed. Unfortunately, two of them only took out the real spiritual skills, so he used his unlimited skill points to secretly learn two level two spiritual skills.
They were "Forest Front Finger" and "Poison Fire Palm". At the time, Leng Shiqi rejected them because they were too difficult to cultivate.
The shop owners didn't have any complaints because these two spiritual skills were very difficult to cultivate.
For example, if one mastered "Forest Front Finger", one finger could turn into a dense forest of finger shadows.
However, to cultivate it, one had to polish one finger for many years, which took a very long time.
As for the other "Poison Fire Palm", it didn't take too long to cultivate, but one had to soak one's hands in poison every day. Moreover, it had to be cultivated in an extremely hot environment.
Of course, after successfully cultivating it, one's palm strength would contain fire poison!
Once the fire poison entered the body, it would continuously corrode the opponent's meridians. It could be said to be extremely vicious.
Most importantly, the compatibility between the Poison Fire Palm and the Six Yang Palm was extremely high. Leng Shiqi was confident that he could fuse them together.
Thinking that he had earned two level two spiritual skills for free, Leng Shiqi felt relieved.
He immediately walked out of the Spirit Cultivator Business Street and prepared to go to the Yin Wind Ridge branch to submit the mission.
However, not long after he walked out of the Spirit Cultivator Business Street, his body suddenly paused. He turned his head to look at a shop on the right. It was Mao Cai's coffin shop!
Leng Shiqi thought to himself, "So this guy actually opened the coffin shop here. No wonder he was able to collect so much information."
At this moment, Mao Cai happened to see Leng Shiqi as soon as he appeared in the shop. He hurriedly gave Leng Shiqi a few glances and then entered the house.
Leng Shiqi narrowed his eyes. Then, he took a big detour and quietly snuck into the coffin shop.
Mao Cai was shocked when he saw Leng Shiqi suddenly appear in the coffin shop. However, he didn't ask much and immediately said with an anxious expression,
"Envoy, it's not good. Someone wants to harm you."
Leng Shiqi's heart moved when he heard this. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He had only been in Shang Yang City for two days and had barely interacted with anyone. Who wanted to harm him?
However, his heart immediately skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of someone!
However, he deliberately asked in a tone of disbelief, "How is that possible?
Who would harm me? "
"Envoy, it's true!"
Leng Shiqi said indifferently, "Then tell me, who wants to harm me?"
"Uh, this, hehe, envoy, you know this little one …" Mao Cai rubbed his hands.
Leng Shiqi's face turned cold, "Mao Cai, do you think you can get money from me with some groundless information?
Besides, I'm about to return to the branch. Even if someone wants to harm me, they won't be able to. "
Mao Cai was stunned for a moment, then said, "Envoy, this little one can reveal a little to you. Although the person who wants to harm you is in Shang Yang City, the method to harm you is outside.
As long as the envoy still has to carry out missions in the future, you might fall into a trap! "
Leng Shiqi saw that Mao Cai didn't seem to be lying to him, so he said, "Okay, tell me. As long as the information is true and the price is reasonable, I won't treat you badly."
Mao Cai's face immediately bloomed like a chrysanthemum. However, he immediately said solemnly, "Envoy, the person who wants to harm you is Shang Yang City's City Lord, Qu Xinran!"
