Chapter 180 (2/2)

She would have never dared to even dream of doing something like that. Apart from his smart mind, Xiang Shaoyun also possessed astonis.h.i.+ng combat prowess. If the Cloud Margin Pavilion knew the extent of his talent, a large number of elders would immediately start fighting to take him as a disciple.

She was also finally convinced that Elder Zhen Peng was sincere in becoming Xiang Shaoyun's follower. In fact, even she was starting to have the urge to become Xiang Shaoyun's follower.

”What are you thinking about?” Xiang Shaoyun walked over and interrupted her thoughts.

”Nothing. Since everything is solved, shouldn't we leave for the earthcore fire?” Gong Qinyin asked.

”No, we can't rush. We must make all the necessary preparations before leaving. Otherwise, we will only be wasting our time,” Xiang Shaoyun said.

”What preparations do we need to make?” Gong Qinyin asked in confusion.

”Things to subdue the earthcore fire,” Xiang Shaoyun said seriously. He then added, ”Also, we need to increase your strength.”

”Increase my strength?” Gong Qinyin blanked out.

Xiang Shaoyun did not waste his breath and took out a tiny bottle of earth star spring liquid and gave it to her, ”Senior sister, you are not weak, but we will definitely encounter Cloud Margin Pavilion disciples during the trip. Your current strength is insufficient to deal with them. Consider this earth star spring liquid my repayment to you.”

Gong Qinyin did not argue and accepted the bottle. ”What a surprise. Turns out you are quite rich, huh? I won't be holding back, then.”

Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and said, ”Don't worry about it. We are friends, right?” He paused for a bit and added, ”Try to grow stronger while I make some preparations. When you come out of your seclusion, we will start our search for the earthcore fire.”

Gong Qinyin nodded and left. After she left, Xiang Shaoyun brought Mo Mo away from the restaurant and headed toward the business district. Now, he no longer needed to worry that the Wen Clan would come looking for him.

He needed to first purchase some healing materials and fire protection materials. However, they were not his topmost priority. What he required most was an item of utmost cold. Only then would he be able to even approach the earthcore fire.

He entered the city's largest herb store and asked the shopkeeper, ”Shopkeeper, do you have any millennium icecold jade or something with similar properties here?”

”You are probably going to look for the earthcore fire as well, right? Too bad it's already sold out,” said the shopkeeper with a helpless smile.

Xiang Shaoyun was disappointed to hear that. Without an item of utmost cold, how was he supposed to subdue the earthcore fire?

Just as he was about to leave, the shopkeeper said, ”Maybe you can try your luck at the auction hall. You might be surprised at what you find there.”
