After a busy round, the number of Spirit Stones he had increased by more than a thousand again.

"Indeed, the conflict between the Bai and Chen families is becoming more intense.

The price of talismans has gone up a lot since last time.

Especially the First-grade Initial-stage Golden Shield Talisman, which has risen to the point of eighty-five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per piece, and that’s just the purchase price.

Unfortunately, counting the previous three, I only have seven..."

Zhou Changwang felt regret, but couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

This wave directly earned him twelve hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, finally bringing his total to eight thousand.

"Eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

The gap to ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones is now only two thousand left."

Zhou Changwang finally had the thought that ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones were not unattainable.

Of course, the reason for having so many this time was mainly because he had sold all the Golden Shield Talismans.

The Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique, after his practice during this time, had finally been cultivated to the Small Success stage.

And at the Small Success stage, the effect of the Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique was already extremely astonishing. Even familiar people couldn’t see through him in the slightest from his appearance.

That’s why he dared to frequent the three major shops to sell finished Golden Shield Talismans.

Of course, after selling the Golden Shield Talismans, he naturally did some concealment.

Using the Concealing Breath Technique to hide his aura, the Cleaning Technique to wash away any possible tracking marks, then the Disguise and Bone-Shrinking Technique to change his appearance, and finally the Light Body Skill to quickly leave...

After all these measures, the only ones who could catch up to him might only be those powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

And so, half an hour later.

Zhou Changwang once again appeared in front of Brother Xiu at the Independent Cultivator Marketplace.

"My people have indeed found out from inquiries that thirty years ago, that Elder Peng was indeed cultivating a Five Elements High-Tier Technique called ’Five Elements Unification Technique’.

However, according to a neighbor, thirty years ago, after he once went fishing at Jade Lake, he never returned.

His neighbor said that during that period, he often went for ten days to half a month at a time, and once even got injured, but didn’t say anything when asked.

He was originally an odd person, always going about alone, only talking a bit more with fellow fishing enthusiasts, so others naturally didn’t press him too much.

After he disappeared that time, the neighbor even muttered that those who fish ultimately can’t escape being eaten by a Fish Demon.

As for the cultivation technique he practiced, it seems to have disappeared with his disappearance."

Brother Xiu waved his hand helplessly and said.

"Then didn’t he have any family or descendants? Maybe his family also has a copy of his technique?"

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but ask further.

"I asked as well.

He was a loner.

Of course, later I asked some old folks and heard that he did have a Dao companion in his early days, but because he was too obsessed with fishing, that Dao companion ended up leaving him.

And she had long since left the Fengming Dock Marketplace.

Now several decades have passed, finding her would be incredibly difficult."

Brother Xiu shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but feel regret, but could only accept it.

In the Cultivation Realm, there are too many kinds of dangers. Even powerful Foundation Establishment True Cultivators sometimes fall, let alone ordinary cultivators.

Once the person is dead, the inheritance of their cultivation techniques naturally vanishes without a trace.

Unless his corpse was found and his Storage Bag obtained...

As for his wife and children? This isn’t like the previous world where advanced technology was available, and even then there were cases of missing persons with no trace. In this world, it’s even more like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Are there any other news about high-tier techniques?"

Having no other choice, Zhou Changwang could only ask.
