Because they are irrigated day and night by the spirit spring, they will also transform from mundane objects, becoming the foundation of the spirit spring and existing in the world.

If a spring is born on a section of tree root, that section of root will transform into the spring's essence. If it is born on a stone, that stone becomes the spring's essence.

Of course, there are also springs born from the void, which are devoid of any spring essence.

Because of some reason, the Spirit Spring may have been destroyed or dried up. The objects from the Spirit Spring might remain.

Although spirit springs are rare, countless years have passed and many have been discovered. Indeed, some dried-up spirit spring objects circulate in the cultivation world.

This depleted spirit spring can neither be used for forging nor alchemy, but due to its peculiar formation, it is considered a rare artifact and many people are willing to collect it.

The author speculates that this kind of spirit spring object could be used to hasten the maturation of a spirit spring, unfortunately, he collected one spirit spring object but couldn't find an unformed spirit spring.

Since the birth of a spirit spring is difficult, from its birth to its formation it doesn't take very long. Cultivators can afford to wait, and from the moment the spirit spring is born, the spiritual energy in the cave dwelling becomes extraordinarily dense, enough to support cultivators' cultivation.

Qin Sang's situation was also special. He needed to frequently combine intense battles with cultivation. The monsters in Yuncang Dazze were all hiding underwater. Every time he went out to find them, it would inevitably take a long time. If he sparred with his fellow disciples, he would be restrained during the fight and it would be almost ineffective.

Apart from the ancient Immortal Battlefield, it is difficult for other places to meet this condition.

Asking about the Moon Pavilion market, the Heavenly Traces Tower.

Tianhenlou is the most famous shop among the four major markets near Shaohuashan. It's owned by the Yu family, the largest immortal cultivating family in Wenyue Market. The Yu family's success is naturally closely related to Shaohuashan.

Among them, the most famous is Tianhen Building's monthly auction, with countless exotic treasures and high cultivators gathering. However, Qin Sang didn't come for the auction this time.

As soon as Qin Sang entered the Tiān Hén Lóu, a pretty young girl approached him. She was also a cultivator, but only at the third level of the Qi Refining stage.

"Little Huan has met the young master, I wonder what the young master needs Do you want to buy something, or sell treasures"

Before the words had even left his lips, a gray-robed elder rushed out from the depths of the hall. The old man bowed to Qin Sang and then quietly gestured for Xiaohuan to step back. "Forgive me, senior. The young girl is lacking in discernment. The objects in the hall are all mundane things that would not catch your eye. If you require anything, please follow me to my quiet chamber upstairs for a more detailed conversation."

Qin Sang did not conceal his cultivation. The gray-robed elder was at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining period, naturally able to see that Qin Sang was no ordinary person.

Qin Sang looked around. On the first floor of Tianhen Tower, there were cabinets filled with things like jade slips, spiritual materials, pills, and magical artifacts. They were indeed ordinary items in terms of value, so he nodded and said, "Please lead the way, friend."

The gray-robed elder stepped aside to lead the way, smiling and saying, "My junior surname is Zhang, and I have the honor of being a steward at Tianhen Tower."

Entering the quiet room, Qin Sang didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point: "Zhang Shi, I need two kinds of refining material, Ghost Carving Feather and Moon-Hain Wood Core. The Ghost Carving Feather should be freshly picked, no more than three years old, and the Moon-Hain Wood Core needs to be at least five hundred years old. I wonder if your shop has them for sale"

When Zhang the steward saw this, he extinguished his thoughts of flattery and said seriously, "Please wait a moment, senior"

Having said that, Zhang Shi held a jade pendant and moved his lips silently. After a moment, Zhang Shi nodded slightly and said: "Reporting to the senior, the shop indeed has these two kinds of spiritual materials. The moon-flowering wood core is six hundred years old and can meet the senior's requirements. However, there are no fresh ghost carvings feathers, only some feathers that are over several decades old. I wonder if they can meet the senior's requirements"

Qin Sang secretly relied on the fact that refining the Corpse Puppet needed to extract Yin Fire from the Ghost Falcon's feathers. As this was his first time refining, he wasn't familiar with the process. The Yin Fire on the old Ghost Falcon's feathers had greatly diminished, and it probably wouldn't work. However, it was better than nothing, so he might as well buy it first and see.

Thinking about this, Qin Sang nodded. "Please, Zhang Zhishi, ask someone to bring the things up. Also, please help me check if your shop sells dried spring water"

Leaving Tiān Hén Lóu, Qin Sang frowned. The depleted spiritual spring essence was harder to find than he imagined. Zhang Zhīshi had contacted the branches in three other trading districts, but there was no news.

Qin Sang had no choice but to leave some spirit stones and ask Tianhen Lou to keep an eye out.

However, Zhang Shi told Qin Sang that in his decades as a steward at Tianhen Lou, he had never seen anything like this.

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If you can't find it, just follow the previous plan.” Qin Sang sighed softly, quickened his pace, and headed towards Wu shopkeeper’s store.

Master Wu happened to be in the shop. As the two chatted, Qin Sang mentioned his troubles, and Master Wu laughed, “It’s normal that you can’t buy fresh Ghost Carver plumes at Tiān Hén Lóu. Firstly, Ghost Carvers live deep within Tiāndàn Mountain, a place of the most intense Yin Qi, where demons cultivate. Secondly, Ghost Carver plumes are the feathers on their crests and carry a peculiar Yin Fire. It's a unique material for refining artifacts, but this Yin Fire is not very useful for righteous cultivators; it might even damage magical implements. Old feathers that have lost their Yin Fire are actually more popular. My master left me some channels for collecting materials. If you need them, Qin Daoist friend, I can help order a batch, but if you need them urgently, the price might be high.”

Qin Sang was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Then thank you, Wu Daoist friend. As long as I can buy it, the price is no problem. Qin will certainly repay your kindness in the future."

So, Qin Sang also told Wu shopkeeper about the matter of the spirit spring that needed to be depleted.

“As for the items Daoist Qin needs, if they can't be found in Tianhenlou, it will be very difficult to find them in other legitimate shops. However, besides that, Wu has a couple of other leads…”

Wu Yuesheng cautiously shut the shop door and leaned in to whisper, “One of them is a black market.”

"Black market"

>

Qin Sang had also heard of the black market. It was said that many fine items often appeared there, sometimes even better than those sold at Tianhenlou auctions. However, many things there had questionable origins. In other words, this black market was a place for selling stolen goods.

Wu Yue Sheng's magical artifacts include some that Qin Sang couldn't use, but they couldn't be sold in the Yue Fang market either. Otherwise, it would show too little respect for Shaohua Mountain. Selling stolen goods would have to wait until after entering the ancient fairy battlefield.

Things from Baiyun Mountain are very common magic tools. They can be sold, but the quality isn't good. If you take them to the black market, people won't even look at them.

Therefore, Qin Sang had no need to sell anything dubious as he came from nowhere and, secondly, he focused on cultivation and didn't urgently need anything, so he hadn't actively sought it out.

Mr. Wu, the owner of the shop, was an old man from Yuefang Market and knew that the black market was also normal.

However, the dregs of a dried-up spring are worthless, and they may not even be sold on the black market.he had opened a cave dwelling on this island.Qin Sang hurried to catch up, exclaiming, "Senior...""The old Taoist doesn't have much time left, I'll explain to my younger brother later, ahem..."The Yun...
