"It is the Silver Jade Soul Silkworm. Have the other Taoist friends returned safely?"

After confirming that it was correct, Sun Mingsheng asked subconsciously, but after seeing the expressionless waiter, he knew better and stopped asking.

"The transaction between us has been completed. Please return the jade token. There will be no relationship between you and me in the future."

The waiter in the Qi Refining Stage obviously looked well-informed and was not afraid of Sun Mingsheng's ninth-level foundation building.

"I naturally don't want to have any other contact with you in the future. From now on, we will part ways. Goodbye."

In fact, Sun Mingsheng was happy to see the other party's attitude. As long as the contact between the two was completely cut off this time, there would be no more unexpected changes in the future.

Of course, there was no leakage of the life and death and whereabouts of other cultivators, which made him feel more at ease.

As for the pursuit from Qingxiao Sect, there was no longer any worry the moment they left the Arctic Icefield, and as time passed, this little worry would completely disappear.

Sun Mingsheng's biggest problem at the moment was how to find a suitable spiritual land to provide some help for the subsequent condensation of the golden elixir.

The place of retreat this time should be in Shen Kingdom. As a casual cultivator, the difficulty of condensing the golden elixir can be imagined.

Because Shen Kingdom is close to the Arctic Icefield, various spiritual mountains and spiritual objects are naturally relatively abundant, but the number of places with spiritual veins is still limited.

In the process of condensing the golden elixir, the spiritual power required will also be huge, and ordinary spiritual veins cannot meet the demand at all.

After sufficient collection, Sun Mingsheng now has a total of four spiritual objects that assist in condensing the golden elixir, namely the second-grade superior snake dragon blood essence that strengthens the body and replenishes the essence and blood, the body-cleansing spiritual water that removes impurities from the body, the most important silver jade soul silkworm, and the Dan Yuan fruit obtained in the spiritual realm that appeared on the border of Song State.

The effects of the first two are extremely limited and can only be icing on the cake. The silver jade soul silkworm is aimed at the fusion of the cultivator's soul and mana, which can roughly increase the success rate by about 20%, and the Dan Yuan fruit is aimed at the solidification of liquid mana in the dantian, which can increase the success rate by about 15%.

Compared with the foundation-building period, the reason why the life span and combat effectiveness of the golden elixir stage can have a qualitative leap is precisely because the condensed golden elixir is not only mana, but also a dual fusion of spiritual consciousness.

With Sun Mingsheng's three spiritual roots and relatively solid foundation, as long as he finds a suitable spiritual land, the success rate of condensing the elixir should be more than 30%, which is already a considerable probability for most cultivators.

Especially for some casual cultivators who lack spiritual objects, the success rate of trying to condense the golden elixir is usually no more than 10%.

"There are usually caves for rent in major markets, and in some larger markets there are golden elixir-stage cultivators, so their own safety is also safe."

Sun Mingsheng did not have a sufficient understanding of Shen State, so he could only choose a relatively safe and secret location. As for some potential hidden dangers, under the current circumstances, he could only choose the lesser of two evils.

However, not every market can meet the needs of condensing the golden elixir, so he must select them one by one.

In addition, although there are many shops for rent in each market, there are not many high-quality caves with abundant spiritual power. Some of the markets even specifically stipulate that only golden elixir-stage cultivators can rent them.

The rental price of a high-level cave is not a small amount, especially this time the retreat is to condense the golden elixir for at least more than ten years, and it is very normal for it to be thirty or fifty years. This also requires him to pay a considerable amount of spiritual stones in advance.

On the third day after Sun Mingsheng successfully exchanged for the silver jade soul silkworm, and after he had inspected the leasing conditions of caves in two different markets, he finally received the wanted document of Qingxiao Sect.

Unfortunately, at this point, the five people who participated in the hunting of Qingxiao Sect monks had already achieved their goal and changed their appearances, hiding in different locations. After many efforts, they were destined to return in vain.

Whenever he arrived at a market, in addition to inspecting the basic conditions of the leasing cave, Sun Mingsheng would also sell all the remaining items in the storage bag except for the necessary spiritual tools, and gather as many spiritual stones as possible to meet the current needs.

Time passed quickly in Sun Mingsheng's busyness. He observed the high-quality caves that could be rented for a long time in the market one by one, but he never found a satisfactory place. The highest quality one he encountered along the way was only equivalent to the second-level upper-grade spiritual vein, which was still a certain distance from his needs.

"Each cave has a cave with a third-level spiritual vein for rent, but these high-quality caves have obvious requirements for the cultivation level of the renter, at least a Jindan stage cultivator."

Half a year passed in a flash, and he has walked through more than ten large and small markets. He couldn't help but frown at the current predicament he faced, which he could not solve at all with his current cultivation level.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It seems that we can only venture into the market town of Qingxiao Sect. According to some local cultivators, this market town is located on a third-grade middle-grade spiritual mountain. If we are lucky, we may be able to rent a third-grade cave residence."

It has been more than a year since Sun Mingsheng hunted down the cultivators of Qingxiao Sect. The killing order from Qingxiao Sect is also a lot of thunder but little rain. After all, there are more than 10,000 disciples in the inner and outer sects of Qingxiao Sect, and there are not a few cultivators who die in various battles every year.

Except for the two Jindan-stage cultivators, the eight cultivators who died on the Arctic ice field would not be taken seriously by the huge Qingxiao Sect.

"This matter ended so easily. The people who hired us were most likely cultivators from Qingxiao Sect."

This is his most confident intuitive feeling at this moment after experiencing it personally for a period of time. It is also the fundamental reason why he dared to go to the market town under the management of Qingxiao Sect for retreat and practice.

"Qingxiao Market, I hope this place won't disappoint me"

Half a month later, Sun Mingsheng looked up at a plaque with four large characters engraved on it, his eyes full of expectations for the future after condensing the golden elixir.

He walked forward without hesitation. There was only a magic weapon like a bronze mirror at the entrance of the market, which was mainly used to prevent some monsters that knew special changes from entering.

Along the way, Sun Mingsheng did not delay at all and went straight to the location near Lingshan in the southwest corner of the market that specializes in cave rental.

"Are you here to rent a cave? What level of cave are you going to rent? How long is the rental period?"

As soon as Fang entered, a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building came forward enthusiastically.

"May I ask what is the price of renting a cave?"
