After parting ways with Liu Yuhe, Lü Zhong was still not ready to give up.
He visited many other places in the city. Plenty of well-established merchant houses had Gilded Fire Jade in stock, but without exception, they were all jacking up their prices or making exorbitant demands. By comparison, obtaining the Gilded Fire Jade from the Liu Family seemed surprisingly easy.
'If I hadn't learned that the Liu Family was recruiting Honored Guest Elders on a large scale and was genuinely preparing to build a clan estate on Iron Wall Mountain, I would've thought Liu Yuhe was setting a trap for me.'
'Sigh. If it's already this difficult for a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, I can't imagine what it will be like when I reach the Core Formation Stage.' Lü Zhong couldn't help but worry about the future, but he quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
'I don't even know if I'll ever reach Perfect Foundation Establishment. Worrying about this now is pointless.'
