After settling down in Hundred Flowers City, Fang Hao's days became regular.
During the day, he would either wander around the city's various medicine shops and markets, haggling with those shrewd shopkeepers and stall owners, inquiring about the main ingredients for forming golden core; or he would hole up in the small courtyard he rented, sitting in meditation to Cultivate, and studying that incomplete Pill Formula.
He really spent a lot of money.
That reserved five-hundred-year-old "Thick Earth Poria" cost him nearly 800,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, making his heart ache so much he twitched.
But there was no other way; this item was a main earth-type ingredient, which was especially important for his Seven Spiritual Roots, so he had to buy it no matter how expensive it was.
He also gritted his teeth and bought a small segment of decent-quality "Azure Dragon Ginseng" root, and a few well-preserved "Mystic Ice Lotus" petals, costing him another million or so Spirit Stones.
