Zhao Di flew in front of Da Han more than ten zhang away and transmitted his voice: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for waiting so long!"

  "Zhou Dao, you just said you wanted to make a mutually beneficial transaction with me. What exactly did you have in mind? Could it be that you're willing to sell this Flying Needle artifact? Even if you are willing to part with it, I'm afraid I couldn't afford so many of them!" The big man asked doubtfully through voice transmission.

  "Hehe, fellow Taoist is joking. This flying needle technique is my only means of survival, so I won't easily hand it over. However, you have something that would be quite useful to me, and I'm willing to buy it." Zhao replied with a hint of a smile.

  "What stuff? I won't sell this scroll to you!" The big man said, slightly turning his body, taking a defensive stance, apparently afraid that Zhao would take it by force.

  Not to mention that the other party is a mid-term foundation-building cultivator, even if he is a Qi-refining period cultivator, Zhao Di would not dare to openly defy the rules of Xingxing Island and kill people to seize treasures on the island! As for Da Han's approach, Zhao Di was a bit speechless.

  He then transmitted his voice to Da Han, saying: "Fellow Daoist, don't be impatient. What I'm talking about is the matter of Luo Jie Island. Fellow Daoist must have seen that there's definitely some secret on this island. Now that Luo Jie Island has become my territory, even if there are any good things, they will eventually be found by me. If fellow Daoist directly indicates it, I am willing to offer a sum of spiritual stones. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

  The great Han showed a thoughtful expression and said: "Let me think about it!"

  Zhao Di smiled and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, take your time to think!"

  After a moment, the big man's brow furrowed and he said: "Alright, anyway this thing isn't something I can take away, so it's cheap for you! However, you have to pay me 200 spirit stones first. I, Zhou San, promise that this item will not be sold at just this price, and if I don't say anything, fellow Daoist will also find it very hard to search for it himself."

  "Alright! I'll take the two hundred spirit stones. Here, take these two mid-grade spirit stones as change." Zhao Di answered without hesitation and took out two mid-grade spirit stones, tossing them to the big man.

  The big man was delighted to see that the other party had thrown over a mid-grade spirit stone, and he laughed loudly, transmitting his voice: "I also found it unintentionally. In the not-so-big Lingji Mountain spiritual vein on Lingji Island, there is actually a very small spiritual eye spring. Although it's a bit smaller, sitting by this spring is almost as good as a high-quality spiritual vein. Moreover, apart from being rich in spiritual energy, spiritual eyes have some other wonderful uses. How about it, friend? This transaction isn't a loss for you, right?" After finishing speaking, the big man told Zhao Di the specific location.

  So-called spiritual objects refer to treasures or places that can gather a large amount of spiritual energy, making the surrounding spiritual energy density much higher than the surrounding areas. Common ones include spiritual spring, spiritual tree, spiritual rock, and more advanced spiritual jade and spiritual pearl.

  This Lingjian Mountain was originally just a low-grade spiritual vein, with an average density of spiritual energy. However, around the Lingyan Spring, the concentration of spiritual energy is comparable to that of a high-grade spiritual vein.

  "It's indeed very secretive, thank you for telling me, fellow Taoist." Zhao Di felt that the 200 spirit stones were well worth it after hearing Da Han's whispered transmission. If he had to search for it himself, even if he spent a year or two, he might not have been able to find it.

  After Zhao Di and Da Han parted ways with each having gained something, he didn't fly straight to Huo Jie Island but instead returned to the West Star Island's Fang City.

  He wants to buy some fabric arrays and other equipment, the array method of Taixu Gate is really too weak, not worth using at all. In his opinion, since he will be practicing meditation and alchemy on this island for a long time, he should at least have several sets of array methods that can withstand mid-term foundation-building attacks, otherwise, how can he practice with peace of mind?

  "The Xuan Yi Ge" is a store on the Western Star Island that specializes in selling various arrays and spell disks, with a history of over a thousand years. The reputation has spread to several other large islands nearby. According to Xiao Ye, the owner of this store is a rare Grandmaster of Array Techniques who has inherited the family's traditional array techniques and has made breakthroughs after hundreds of years of research, simplifying some powerful and complex ancient arrays into easy-to-deploy spell arrays using flags and disks, retaining a significant portion of the original array's power.

  Zhao walked into the mysterious and easy-to-use pavilion, and was immediately attracted by the various arrays of flags, law disks, jade beads, crystals and other things on the counter. However, he could be said to be ignorant of the formation method, and could only see the flashing properties of the spiritual light on these treasures, but couldn't judge what they were used for at all.

  "Xu Ying has seen the senior! Does the senior want to buy a simple magic array? Our store sells various types of arrays for attack, defense, illusion and other purposes. I don't know which type the senior wants? Little Ying's cultivation is still low, but she knows a bit about array methods, so she can help the senior choose a few."

  A green-clad girl with a sweet smile curtsied elegantly to Zhao Di and said this. The girl's facial features were delicate, with a hint of childishness between her eyebrows, giving off an impression of being approachable and easy to get along with.

  Zhao gazed at the young girl for a while, then smiled and said: "I want to buy several defensive formations to guard the cave. The more powerful they are, the better. It would be best if they could keep out even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

  "Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can't break through the formation? That's the strongest defensive formation of the Foundation Establishment stage. Our shop has some of these formations, but the materials needed to refine them are precious and the refining method is complicated and difficult, so naturally they're not cheap." The young girl smiled elegantly and said with a calm demeanor.

  "As long as the formation is applicable, it's also good to talk about the price." Zhao Di also knew that this defensive formation, although only having defensive capabilities, was so powerful that it couldn't be bought at a very cheap price. But for the sake of the cave's safety, he had no choice but to take a risk and spend a fortune, which was still better than being on edge every day in the mansion, not daring to use high-grade spirit stones to meditate.

  The young girl heard this and was overjoyed, slightly squatting her body and bowing again, saying: "If that's the case, please have a seat for a moment, senior! The price of this formation is something Xiaoying doesn't dare to decide on her own, so let's ask our family's young lady to make the decision instead."

  After finishing, the young girl lightly stepped into the inner hall behind the counter. This inner hall was obviously set up with some mysterious restrictions, and Zhao Di instinctively extended his divine sense, but found that his divine sense could only wander in this layer of the hall, wanting to explore the inner hall or other floors would be blocked by a faint barrier, unable to enter at all.

  This barrier is not ferocious and overbearing, it only hinders the divine sense, without any harm to the divine sense. Moreover, the barrier gives him a kind of vague, long and weak feeling, which makes Zhao Di feel that this prohibition is extremely mysterious and profound. As a result, his confidence in this Xuanyi Pavilion has increased again.

  Zhao Di had only sat for a moment when the green-robed girl named Xiao Ying led in a tall, white-clad woman with a white veil covering her face.

  The woman's spiritual power fluctuations were much stronger than Xiao Ying's, and she was also a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building.

  The woman in white lightly bowed to Zhao Di and said: "Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!"

  It was just a few words of common greetings, but the sound was extremely pleasant, and Zhao Di had a good impression of the girl as soon as he heard it!

  He also stood up early and bowed back: "I've seen the fairy!"

  "Please forgive me for speaking too much, may I ask your noble surname? Are you newly arrived on our Western Star Island or have you been in secluded cultivation without emerging? This humble woman has never seen you before." The woman's voice was clear and pleasant, gentle and courteous, making people feel very comfortable.

  Zhao Di smiled and replied: "My surname is Zhao, I have indeed just arrived in this place not long ago. It's also very normal that the immortal hasn't seen me before."

  "It turned out to be Zhao Daoyou. I heard from Xiaoying that Daoyou wants to buy some foundation-stage spell arrays with the strongest defensive capabilities." The woman in white also didn't intend to continue chatting idly, and directly asked about the topic.

  "Not bad, I need a few good formations to guard the cave mansion. Otherwise, when I'm not in the cave mansion, those petty thieves will sweep it clean." Zhao nodded and said.
