Outside the School Martial Arts Arena, in a bamboo grove.
Song Changming took out the thirteen Blazing Fla Horns from his Storage Pouch, and they floated in midair, supported by Gang Qi.
The Demon Fire within these Blazing Fla Horns had not extinguished with the death of the original Deer Demon. Instead, it coiled around the surface of the horns like rows of Fire Snakes, ready to attack anyone daring to co close.
It is precisely this unique quality of the Blazing Fla Horns that makes them particularly valuable.
Song Changming is a straightforward person and doesn’t waste ti, letting the other party observe the price directly.
The strong figure from the imperial Army glanced over the Blazing Fla Horns, satisfied with their quality, and spoke: "I will take these twelve Blazing Fla Horns at the price of ten Middle Grade Spirit Crystals each.
As for the one with the best quality, I’ll pay thirty Middle Grade Spirit Crystals. How about it?"
"Agreed." Song Changming nodded. The other party’s sincerity was evident, so he didn’t bother to haggle.
Having conducted market research before returning, he knew that such Top Grade Fire Attribute Materials, available only from hunting the Blazing Fla Deer Demon, were always scarce and in high demand.
Whenever one or two appeared, they were quickly bought, mostly used for crafting Array Materials, or as ingredients for Alchemy.
Usually, a single Blazing Fla Horn would fetch a price between three to five Middle Grade Spirit Crystals, with higher quality ones selling for seven to eight.
This price could rival that of a fine Talisman item, not exactly cheap.
This person set the price at ten Middle Grade Spirit Crystals each, which was sowhat of a premium, significantly higher than market purchase prices. So Song Changming had no reason to refuse.
The counterpart, without further ado, upon seeing Song Changming agree, wiped a finger across his ring, producing a pile of Spirit Crystals, which floated in midair, supported by his Gang Qi.
The number of Spirit Crystals could be confird with just a sweep of Spiritual Perception, no need for a detailed count.
Compared to this substantial amount of Middle Grade Spirit Crystals, Song Changming’s attention was more drawn to the silver ring worn on the other’s left hand.
Upon closer inspection, one could spot densely packed small rune markings on it.
"Heaven and Earth Ring!" Song Changming recognized this Talisman item at a glance.
"Yes, thanks to the favor of Prince Cui, this was a reward I received in the army years ago," said the strong figure from the imperial Army, touching the ring in his hand.
Perhaps having acquired the Blazing Fla Horns put him in a good mood, and he was quite friendly to Song Changming.
Song Changming nodded and didn’t inquire further.
The Heaven and Earth Ring, just from its na, was known to belong to the sa series of Talismans as the Qiankun Bag he possessed.
Similar in function, it was used for personal storage, containing a small space inside.
However, compared to the Qiankun Bag, the Heaven and Earth Ring was harder to craft, extrely durable, and thus scarcer.
In the main city, only a small number of high-ranking figures of Noble Families possessed them.
Thus, owning a Heaven and Earth Ring in the city was a symbol of status.
To be qualified to wear a Heaven and Earth Ring, one had to either be of distinguished status, wealthy, or extrely powerful, with significant backing.
The fact that the individual before him owned such a ring indicated his extraordinary nature.
Perhaps he was even more formidable than Song Changming had imagined, given his ability to stand out in the imperial Army and earn the favor of Prince Cui, an achievent in itself.
Once the transaction was settled, exchanging goods and money, Song Changming gained an additional one hundred and fifty Middle Grade Spirit Crystals.
If used solely for Qi Refining training, with his usual consumption rate, this sum of Middle Grade Spirit Crystals could sustain him for another year or more of cultivation.
This deal was profitable no matter how one looked at it.
Moreover, it also indicated that the other party had no shortage of Spirit Crystals, producing such a large sum without batting an eye.
With that matter settled, Song Changming was ready to depart.
The man suddenly spoke, "My na is Fang Tianyan. If you have more Blazing Fla Horns in the future, feel free to contact , sa price."
"Alright." Song Changming nodded in agreent. Given that the other party introduced himself, he also shared his na out of politeness.
Fang Tianyan seed to recall sothing, adding another sentence.
"Additionally, should you wish to select Sword Techniques for cultivation at the Armory in the future and find yourself undecided, you can co to . Opportunities to access the Armory are frequent in the imperial Army, and I can offer so guidance as reference."
"Thank you." Song Changming expressed his gratitude.
Whether or not he would contact this person in the future was a matter for later consideration.
As Fang Tianyan walked out of the bamboo grove, he saw soone similarly dressed in Dragon Silver Armor leaning against a bamboo stalk nearby.
"What makes him noteworthy enough to warrant such attention from you?" the companion asked, puzzled.
In his view, Song Changming was just an averagely competent Deputy General in the military, nothing more.
To others, this Deputy General might seem exceptional.
But they hailed from the imperial Army, where capable individuals holding low ranks were common, and Song Changming was not particularly remarkable.
Not regarding him highly was one thing, but Fang Tianyan was on a different level entirely.
In terms of perception, Fang Tianyan was undoubtedly far ahead of him.
People who caught his interest were few and could be counted on one hand within the entire army.
This made Fang Tianyan’s unusual friendliness toward Song Changming today sowhat surprising.
"His Qi Blood," Fang Tianyan stated directly.
"Qi Blood?" the companion seed to recall, nodding and saying, "Indeed, the strength of his Qi Blood is unusual, and his physical power shouldn’t be too far behind."
"But his Qi Refining Cultivation only opened two Earth Martial Veins, which is too low..."
