The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

Yu Yi is astonished when Shi Mu gives him thirty thousand Spirit Stones, far more than he could earn in a month. After Yu Yi leaves, Mr. Gongxi, an old man in a black robe, arrives to thank Shi Mu for helping his son. Gongxi invites Shi Mu to join the Immortal Fire Residence, but Shi Mu declines, stating he is focused on closed-door training. Shi Mu asks Gongxi about acquiring Fire Gang Stones, which are scarce in Crimson Flame City, and shares his plan to use them for the Ying Fire Formation. Gongxi suggests that Fire Flame Crystals would be a better alternative, though they are valuable and hard to obtain. Shi Mu shows Gongxi the formation diagram, and Gongxi expresses interest in a damaged green cloak and the Breaking Sky Bow that Shi Mu possesses. After examining the cloak, Gongxi confirms it can be repaired with rare materials, including Divine King Wood, which Shi Mu possesses. They agree on the repair and upgrade of the bow to Spirit Tool level, with Shi Mu providing materials. After their meeting, Shi Mu heads to the White Tiger Shop in the inner city to buy Fire Flame Crystals. Despite initial hesitation from the attendants due to his simple appearance, he successfully purchases the crystals, though they are expensive. This purchase significantly reduces his Spirit Stones. He reflects on the costs of maintaining the Ying Fire Array and prepares to visit more shops.
