Chapter 203: Coming Out of Seclusion, 31 Years Old

There is no time for cultivation, and time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Rui has devoted himself to retreat, and three months have passed quietly like a white horse passing by.

This secular New Year, Cao Rui spent it in this quiet retreat.

Now, it has been more than ten days since the New Year.

And Cao Rui has also ushered in his 31st year.

On this day, Cao Rui decided to temporarily stop retreating.

"Twenty thousand copies of the Lingyin Jade Pendant have been sold! There are suddenly 100,000 more spirit stones in the storage bag! Now is the time to purchase the refining materials needed for the five magic swords for refining."

The sale of the Lingyin Jade Pendant is entirely Cao Rui's personal income, and there is no need to share it with the sect like the Lingyin Point.

Therefore, these 100,000 spirit stones naturally fell into Cao Rui's personal pocket.

These three months of quiet cultivation have made Cao Rui's strength a qualitative leap. With the help of the experience beads, he successfully cultivated the first level of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to the perfect state.

In this way, the power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation was further enhanced.

Now, after being strengthened, the power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation is beyond the reach of the first-level magic sword.

Instead of frequently replacing the first-level magic sword, it is better to refine the second-level magic sword at one time, so as to more effectively improve one's combat effectiveness.

This is also Cao Rui's original intention to refine the second-level magic sword.

During this period, Cao Rui took time to go to the sect.

He refined a large number of high-level elixirs needed by the sect, and took this opportunity to teach some alchemy skills and experience to the disciples of the Alchemy Academy.

Since then, Cao Rui has devoted himself to the preparation work of refining equipment.

He used metal plates to engrave second-level runes, and used experience beads to continuously improve the realm of second-level runes.

Over the years, Cao Rui would engrave metal plates whenever he had time to accumulate experience, and almost all the runes recorded by the Refining Academy were mastered by Cao Rui. .

The sixteen first-level magic formations have already been mastered.

All nine second-level magic arrays were completed during this retreat.

Cao Rui has only four third-level magic arrays that he has not yet started to practice.

As for the magic array rune, Cao Rui believes that no one in the entire Yunzhou, even the Jindan cultivators, can be better than him.

Experience beads have a very powerful effect in practicing this kind of immortal cultivation skills that require a long time to hone.

In addition, Cao Rui also took the time to master a second-level recovery elixir - the Purple Spirit Pill.

The Purple Spirit Pill is a second-level recovery elixir used to restore mana during the foundation-building period.

When hunting monsters in the Endless Sea, this kind of recovery elixir is extremely needed to quickly restore oneself.

It is always more economical to refine the Purple Spirit Pill yourself than to spend money to purchase it.

Cao Rui ended his retreat in the cultivation pagoda.

The divine sense of more than ten miles spread out and quickly found Sun Ming's divine eagle.

The divine sense slightly transmitted to Sun Ming, and soon, Cao Rui appeared in the VIP room of the Danling Treasure Pavilion.

"Master Cao, I have almost found all the refining materials you asked me to pay attention to. If there are none, I have found substitutes with similar properties." Sun Ming said softly.

"Oh?" Cao Rui was slightly surprised. This was a pleasant surprise. According to the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, the second-level magic sword refining method, many of the refining materials are already extremely rare in the current Yunzhou cultivation world.

Originally, she thought that Sun Ming could find most of them, and the rest might have to be found in the dangerous places in the ruins by herself.

Unexpectedly, Sun Ming could find them all for her.

He couldn't help but ask with a little curiosity: "Sun Ming, how did you do it? Some of the refining materials are not common."

Sun Ming smiled and explained: "Thanks to the continuous improvement of the comprehensive strength of the market, now our market is not only in the southwest of Yunzhou, but also in the central, eastern and even northern parts of Yunzhou. Some businesses have settled in. With more and more businesses settling in, various rare refining materials have gradually appeared, which gave me the opportunity to collect the materials you need."

Cao Rui nodded with satisfaction and said with appreciation: "Yes, it seems that the development of the market has indeed brought us a lot of benefits."

"That's right!" At this time, Sun Ming suddenly remembered something and continued: "I heard that someone wanted to compete with you for the agency rights of Lingyin Jade Pendant? It seems that forces in other directions have also set their eyes on Lingyin Jade Pendant."

Cao Rui nodded slightly when he heard this. Zhang Mo had mentioned this to him before.

After all, the agency rights of Lingyin Jade Pendant are a lucrative job, and naturally there will be foresighted people who can see the benefits.

However, the forces that wanted to be agents before were not big forces, and Cao Rui felt that the time was not ripe, so he did not agree.

As the Lingyin Jade Pendant spreads to the entire Yunzhou, he will naturally earn more, but the risk will also increase.

Before he advances to the Golden Core, Cao Rui will be cautious about the expansion of the Lingyin Jade Pendant.

"Old Sun, how many spiritual stones can be used to get all the materials together?" Cao Rui said.

Sun Ming heard this and said, "It will take about 40,000 spiritual stones, less than 50,000. The average price of each material is around 9,000 spiritual stones."

9,000 spiritual stones, this price has far exceeded the cost price of ordinary second-level magic tools.

Ordinary second-level magic tools require only about 3,000 refining materials.

9,000, which is more than three times more.

However, this is the material for the Great Five Elements Sword Formation Sword Refining Equipment set by the Divine Yuan Zhenjun in the ancient times according to the highest standards.

Such a price is understandable.

Sun Ming took out a list and handed it to Cao Rui.

Cao Rui looked at them one by one, and it was very good. 70% to 80% of the refining materials were found, and the rest were also replaced to Cao Rui's satisfaction.

Cao Rui was 80% sure that he could refine the five magic swords.

"The price and the list are fine. Help me get the materials as quickly as possible." Cao Rui said.

"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately." Sun Ming immediately activated the Lingyin jade pendant hanging on his chest and contacted several people in a row.

Decided on the refining materials for Cao Rui.

"It will take about a month to collect all the materials."

"Some of the refining materials need to be transported from the northern part of Yunzhou. I hope the owner understands."

Cao Rui waved his hand: "Leave it to you, I'm relieved, just get it as soon as possible."

After Cao Rui finished speaking, the Lingyin jade pendant hanging on his wrist vibrated slightly.

Cao Rui took a look and saw that it was Zhang Mo's communication request.

After the spiritual sense was connected, Cao Rui heard Zhang Mo's voice.

"Master, I heard that you came out of retreat."

Cao Rui shouted slightly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Someone here claims to be a cultivator from the Xingyue Sect in the eastern part of Yunzhou, and wants to ask you for the operating agency rights of the Lingyin Jade Pendant in the east!" Zhang Mo said.

Xingyue Sect? Cao Rui was slightly startled. He had been back for more than three months, but Cao Rui had not forgotten the battle with Yang Shize.

Unexpectedly, the Xingyue Sect dared to come to the door?

This is in the southwest of Yunzhou. Cao Rui has the support of the Spirit Beast Sect. He is a local native, so naturally he will not be afraid of the Xingyue Sect as he was in the East China Sea before.

"Please ask them to wait on the second floor, I will come right over." Cao Rui wanted to see what the Xingyue Sect was up to.
