Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 143 - 73: A Grand Opportunity!
On the other side, Zhou Xun was invited by Hu Zhencai to attend the exchange eting at Master Yufeng’s Celestial Secret House.
"Daoist Zhou is here as well, so let’s begin,"
Soon after sitting down, Elder Sunx stood up, glanced around, and then spoke.
"This exchange eting is the sa as before, where everyone barters freely from their own items. Starting from , each cultivator takes out their items for exchange. The only difference is, my second brother, who is Master Yufeng, will also be taking out so treasures for exchange." Elder Sunx said slowly.
Hearing that Master Yufeng would also participate, everyone perked up, showing interest.
Master Yufeng is a Fake Pill cultivator; any item he casually presents would be a rare treasure for these Foundation Establishnt cultivators here!"
After speaking, Elder Sunx waved his sleeve, causing a semi-transparent jade bottle to appear on the table, containing a milky white elixir.
"One Cyan Spirit Pill, which can assist Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivators in breaking through the middle-stage bottleneck, for Spirit Stones."
"What’s the price?"
A blue-robed Foundation Establishnt cultivator gazed at the elixir, eyes full of desire.
He had also been stuck at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt bottleneck for a long ti.
Besides him, three or four others showed eager expressions.
In reality, among all Foundation Establishnt cultivators in Xui Country, the majority were at the early stage.
Only a few could reach the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishnt.
As for Late-Stage and Peak Foundation Establishnt cultivators, they were very rare and well-known.
"Four thousand Spirit Stones, highest bidder wins!" Seeing the demand, the square-faced middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I bid four thousand two hundred Spirit Stones!"
"I bid four thousand five!"
"Five thousand!"
...
Soon, this Cyan Spirit Pill was acquired by a scholarly-looking old man for the high price of five thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones.
After Elder Sunx offered the Cyan Spirit Pill, he sat down.
Next up was Hu Zhencai, who invited Zhou Xun.
"A dozen Tier Two Middle-Grade Talismans, Attack Talismans for five hundred Spirit Stones each, Defense Talismans for six hundred Spirit Stones each!"
Hu Zhencai was an experienced Tier Two Middle-Grade Rune Master, and the quality of the talismans he refined was extrely high.
Many cultivators on the scene expressed their interest.
Zhou Xun, who had the Nurtured Talisman Technique, happened to lack high-level talismans.
So he bought two.
One Attack Talisman, one Defense Talisman.
Of course, with his wealth, buying all these talismans wouldn’t be a problem.
But since many wanted them and they were fellow practitioners from White Cloud Immortal City, Zhou Xun only purchased two.
As for the rest, he had already transmitted his voice to Hu Zhencai, willing to offer an additional hundred Spirit Stones per talisman to purchase eight more.
Tier Two Middle-Grade Talismans were extrely rare, and with his Nurtured Talisman Technique, spending a little extra Spirit Stones didn’t matter.
When he finished nurturing ten Tier Two Middle-Grade Talismans, he would even have the strength to contend against a Peak Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
After Hu Zhencai, everyone presented nurous treasures for exchange, but they were mostly common items, so Zhou Xun did not make any moves.
When it was Zhou Xun’s turn, he took out a bottle of Yuan Condensing Pills and a bottle of Yuan Gathering Pills, exchanging them for several thousand Spirit Stones.
The last to appear was Master Yufeng.
Master Yufeng was a chubby old man with graying hair but a very ruddy face.
He stood up with a smile, took out two dazzling blue beads from his Storage Bag.
"Master Celestial Thunder!"
A middle-aged cultivator with a sowhat long face shouted the na of this treasure.
Master Celestial Thunder, it is said, was refined by powerful cultivators extracting Celestial Thunder, having incredible power. Even True Pill cultivators wouldn’t dare confront it head-on.
"Xuu Xiaoyou is half right, these two beads are not real ’Master Celestial Thunder’; the real Master Celestial Thunder is refined by extracting Celestial Thunder Power, these are just imitations, with power equivalent to a full strike from a Peak Foundation Establishnt cultivator!"
"They were acquired by , Liu Mou, by chance, and today I offer them to you, an additional hand at the highest bidder!" Master Yufeng said with a smile.
Suddenly rembering sothing, he turned to the square-faced middle-aged man.
"Oh right, Junior Brother Sunx, since you have many treasures, don’t participate in the bidding,"
"Understood, Senior Brother!" The middle-aged man seed slightly resigned.
"Eight thousand Spirit Stones!" Soone quickly bid!
Zhou Xun was very interested in this imitation Master Celestial Thunder and decided internally to acquire it at all costs.
Although nurturing his Middle-Grade Talismans to the extre would not differ much from this bead.
But that would be years later!
For now, this bead was qualified to be his strongest trump card!
So, without hesitation, he increased the bid by three thousand:
"I offer eleven thousand Spirit Stones!"
This bold move stunned everyone.
"Daoist Zhou is truly an Alchemy Master, indeed wealthy!"
No one else bid, and Zhou Xun directly took the first imitation Master Celestial Thunder.
As for the second bead, because it was the last one, the competition was even fiercer, and it was acquired by Hu Zhencai for twelve thousand six hundred Spirit Stones.
No wonder, as an experienced Rune Master, he too was quite well-off.
With the exchange eting concluded, everyone gathered, and discussions started again.
The discussion lasted for four days, during which Master Yufeng was generous in answering nurous questions, benefiting everyone greatly.
This left Zhou Xun with a favorable impression of this Fake Pill Master.
Such a person was still willing to ntor juniors, showing the deanor of an elder!
...
After the discussion ended, Zhou Xun returned to his temporary Cave Mansion.
Five more days passed like this, and it had been sixteen days since Wang Erniu and the others had entered Golden Cloud Valley.
That noon, a figure appeared at the entrance, it was Wang Erniu, who had successfully acquired Geng tal Sharp Qi.
"Big brother!" As soon as Wang Erniu saw Zhou Xun, he excitedly called out.
Zhou Xun was also full of joy:
"Erniu, you got the Geng tal Sharp Qi?"
"Mission accomplished!" Wang Erniu nodded heavily.
"Good! Good! Good!" Zhou Xun was in high spirits and said ’good’ three tis, then led Wang Erniu into the temporary Cave Mansion.
Inside the Cave Mansion, the two sat facing each other.
Wang Erniu began to recount his experiences in Golden Cloud Valley.
When Zhou Xun heard how Wang Erniu evaded dangers wherever possible, even avoiding spirit dicines, focusing solely on the Geng tal Sharp Qi, he praised him repeatedly.
"Erniu, you are truly wise!"
How many have been greedy for benefits, only to lose their lives?
"Big brother, you’re too kind!" Wang Erniu replied bashfully.
Then he began recounting his experiences in the canyon.
"When I collected the Geng tal Sharp Qi and was about to leave, the stone wall disappeared suddenly; I didn’t expect the stone wall in front of to be an Illusion Array. Guess what I saw after the wall disappeared?" Wang Erniu smiled mysteriously and said.
"What?"
"A dicine Garden, and within it grew a Tier Three High-Grade ’Purple Spirit Crystal Reishi’!" Wang Erniu said with certainty.
"What did you say, Tier Three High-Grade Spirit dicine!" Zhou Xun’s heart was stirred.
This was his first ti hearing about such a high-level spirit dicine.
A Tier Three High-Grade Spirit dicine, if obtained, could likely improve his Spiritual Root Talent significantly!
Even his cultivation could be raised by one or two layers.
However, Zhou Xun’s mind was resolute, and he only felt a slight regret.
"Indeed!" Wang Erniu nodded.
"Breaking the dicine Garden’s restriction was done by a cultivator from the Xu Family, one of Xui Country’s Four Great Families, with a total of ten people!"
"Unfortunately, the spirit dicine was still taken by a youth controlling a puppet, who was the Tribulation Cultivator you ntioned before—the ’Hundred Beasts Evil Monarch’."
"This person controlled dozens of puppet beasts, blocking all ten of the Xu Family’s mbers, truly terrifying strength!" Wang Erniu said with a face full of shock,
"But if big brother were there, perhaps you could contend with him!"
"As an Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, how could I have that ability!" Zhou Xun waved it off, smiling.
Upon hearing this, Wang Erniu did not believe it in his heart.
’Big brother likes to be modest, but his real abilities could certainly handle that puppet youth!’ he thought.
However, since Zhou Xun said so, Wang Erniu did not point it out and continued:
"After they left, I hid behind the stones and then returned directly to see you smoothly!"
"Oh yes, one of the puppets was left behind, and I picked it up!" As soon as Wang Erniu finished speaking, he tapped his Storage Bag, imdiately producing a monkey-shaped puppet and placing it on the table.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun squinted his eyes with so contemplation,
His Divination Technique could trace the original owner through the cause and effect of treasures!
