"Upper Grade Magical Artifact?!"
Hearing there weren’t any Five Thunders, these loose cultivators were initially sowhat disappointed.
But upon hearing the na of the Upper Grade Magical Artifact, they all showed shock and turned to look.
"Master, can I take a look at these two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts?" The speaker was an old custor, Taoist Fu.
"Of course!"
Lin Chen nodded slightly and handed over the two artifacts.
Taoist Fu received the artifacts and inspected them closely, while the loose cultivators in the courtyard gathered around.
The two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts were a knife and a sword.
They were, of course, mass-produced from the High Martial World.
They saw Taoist Fu first carefully stroke the material and weight of the artifacts, then channel his True Essence into them.
A mont later, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"These are truly Upper Grade Magical Artifacts! Moreover, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and they are undamaged..."
The surrounding loose cultivators, upon hearing this, also wanted to examine them to confirm they were indeed Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Eight hundred artifacts, all personally inspected by him, naturally ensured that they t the standards of Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
In the Cultivation Realm, the standard for evaluating Upper Grade Magical Artifacts is actually quite simple.
First, superior materials and exquisite craftsmanship.
This needs no further ntion, as the artifacts crafted from Cold Iron Stone, mass-forged by machines, are naturally of superior craftsmanship, far beyond the reach of typical artifact refiners in the Cultivation Realm.
Second, the artifact’s efficiency in utilizing Magical True Essence.
The higher the grade of the Magical Treasure, the greater its efficiency in using True Essence.
But in fact, the efficiency of Upper Grade Magical Artifacts used by Qi Refining and Foundation Establishnt cultivators isn’t very high either.
After the High Martial World breached the Spiritual Qi Barrier, although the efficiency of True Essence wasn’t exceedingly high, it still reached the Upper Grade Magical Artifact standard.
Therefore, these are genuinely worthy Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
After verifying their authenticity, Taoist Fu looked at the Upper Grade Magical Artifacts in his hands, unwilling to let go.
"Master Five Thunders, how much are you selling these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts for?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen didn’t rush to answer but first scanned the courtyard of so twenty to thirty loose cultivators.
Then he slowly said, "These Upper Grade Magical Artifacts are my practice works from a few years ago, unused... Pricing each at three hundred Spirit Stones, how about it?"
"Three hundred Spirit Stones... that’s a fair price!"
"Not just fair, it’s even sowhat cheap! In an auction, selling for four hundred Spirit Stones wouldn’t be surprising!"
The loose cultivators in the courtyard nodded in agreent; they could easily co up with three hundred Spirit Stones.
Compared to those concerned about the price, Taoist Fu obviously had broader considerations.
"Whoa, are Upper Grade Magical Artifacts just practice works? Master Five Thunders is at least a Second Tier Artifact Refiner!"
Surprised, Taoist Fu hurriedly said:
"Master, I have six hundred Spirit Stones... Would you sell these two artifacts?"
After saying this, he directly sent a bag of Spirit Stones across the air, seemingly afraid Lin Chen wouldn’t agree.
Before Lin Chen could respond, the surrounding loose cultivators were already unhappy.
"Taoist Friend Fu, how can you be so bold! There are two Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, why should they sell only to you?"
"Yeah, we also want to buy! Three hundred Spirit Stones are no problem for us!"
"Miss this opportunity, and who knows when the next will co!"
Seeing the potential loss of these prized artifacts, the surrounding loose cultivators all showed fierce expressions.
The courtyard’s atmosphere suddenly beca tense.
Taoist Fu, caught off guard, hurriedly took out a few Five Thunders to hold as intimidation.
In the Changchun Sect, Upper Grade Magical Artifacts cost three hundred contribution points to exchange.
For these loose cultivators, such Magical Artifacts are even rarer.
With reliance on these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, while it doesn’t an a late-stage Qi Refiner can fight across levels against a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, at the sa level, gaining an advantage is not hard.
Therefore, these loose cultivators were unwilling to easily give up.
Seeing the rising tension, Lin Chen quickly interrupted:
"Everyone, don’t rush!"
"As I said, these artifacts were forged years ago, so... there’s quite a stock!"
With that, Lin Chen flicked his fingers, sending dozens of beams of light shooting out from his Storage Bag.
So twenty to thirty Upper Grade Magical Artifacts of various shapes floated in the air, either knives, swords, spears, or halberds...
Simultaneously, Lin Chen lifted the aura concealnt of the Wood Concealnt Technique.
The pressure belonging to a Foundation Establishnt cultivator enveloped the entire courtyard.
"Everyone, if there is an artifact you fancy, feel free to buy it; three hundred Spirit Stones each."
Lin Chen’s tone was calm, as if completely unfazed by these loose cultivators potentially attempting to snatch them.
Twenty to thirty Upper Grade Magical Artifacts floated together in the air.
Without a doubt, the eyes of these loose cultivators showed similar expressions of astonishnt, desire, greed...
Yet, none dared to step forward and seize them.
To be able to casually craft so many Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, what kind of Foundation Establishnt cultivator could he be?
"So, just what level of cultivation is this Master Five Thunders?"
"Early Foundation Establishnt? Doesn’t look like it!"
"If mid-Foundation Establishnt, even if the twenty-sothing of us Qi Refining loose cultivators rush at him, he might not be able to kill us all in one breath..."
"If late Foundation Establishnt, twenty plus Qi Refining loose cultivators attacking together, he might not kill all, but before his True Essence runs out... wait, at late Foundation Establishnt, killing over twenty Qi Refining loose cultivators wouldn’t exhaust True Essence, would it?"
The above were the inner thoughts of the loose cultivators in the courtyard, yet none dared to voice them or test it.
After a brief silence, the first loose cultivator spoke up.
"Master, I want an Upper Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword! Here’s three hundred Spirit Stones..."
Saying this, he sent a bag of Spirit Stones wrapped in his True Essence.
After a slight scan with his Divine Sense, Lin Chen had a Flying Sword land in front of the loose cultivator.
Seeing this, the rest of the loose cultivators no longer hesitated and scrambled to say:
"Master, I want a Long Spear!"
"Master, I want a Flying Knife..."
"I practice the Sword Control Technique; I want three Flying Swords!"
As the bags of Spirit Stones flowed in, Lin Chen continually handed the artifacts over to the respective loose cultivators.
In no ti, over twenty Flying Swords were completely sold out.
Among the present loose cultivators, not everyone needed these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
But at the sa ti, not every loose cultivator required only one.
A total of twenty-eight Upper Grade Magical Artifacts brought Lin Chen an inco of eight thousand four hundred Spirit Stones.
Regarding the cost of these artifacts, so Cold Iron Stone... the cost was less than four hundred Spirit Stones.
This was undoubtedly a windfall!
Once the Spirit Stones were in hand, Lin Chen did not linger.
He glanced at the group of Loose Cultivators, pondering that today’s sales had nearly reached saturation.
Thus he said, "Everyone, I will be coming in the next few days to sell so Upper Grade Magical Artifacts. Those who did not bring enough Spirit Stones today can co later..."
After saying this, Lin Chen turned and left the courtyard.
After Lin Chen left, the Loose Cultivators in the courtyard looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, one Loose Cultivator couldn’t help but ask:
"Everyone, what is the background of this Master Five Thunders? How can he bring out so many Upper Grade Magical Artifacts at once?"
"You don’t know? He’s the Elder of the Artifact Peak at the Changchun Sect! I reckon he has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishnt!"
"Hiss... If I had made a move earlier, wouldn’t I be dead by the knife now?"
After lanting a few words, the Loose Cultivators began to leave successively.
...
On the other side, after the transaction ended, Lin Chen, as always, headed toward Changchun Mountain.
Once at the mountain gate, taking advantage of no one’s attention, he restored his original appearance.
"One transaction, earning over eight thousand Spirit Stones... Although there’s risk, it’s worth it."
Lin Chen silently thought.
Indeed, this ti the transaction amount was huge, with a certain degree of risk involved.
But Lin Chen had more than ninety-eight percent confidence in the success of the transaction.
"The Loose Cultivators in the black market ultimately don’t know my background, so they dare not act rashly..."
"Furthermore, Loose Cultivators operate independently, each with different intentions, making it almost impossible for them to form a unified front."
Throughout months of transactions, Lin Chen had gained a clear understanding of these Loose Cultivators’ inner thoughts.
Toward those in higher positions, they were humble and fearful; toward those weaker than them, they bullied and even proactively plundered.
This was the reason for Lin Chen displaying the intimidation of his Foundation Establishnt Cultivation.
"However, if those Loose Cultivators truly hadn’t been sensible earlier, I would have had to kill a few as a warning..."
Lin Chen mused inwardly.
With his current strength, to kill repeatedly among these Loose Cultivators was a trivial matter.
Moreover, his life-saving weapons and equipnt hardly needed to be utilized...
"One transaction, eight thousand Spirit Stones... Although it’s a considerable amount, it’s still far from the ten thousand Spirit Stones needed to upgrade the Devouring Spirit Root."
"Next, I’ll have to see just how much purchasing power these Loose Cultivators truly have..."
Thus, in the days that followed, Lin Chen went daily to the black market for transactions.
Because the Loose Cultivators coming daily were not the sa group, the Magical Artifacts sold excellently.
In just three days, Lin Chen had sold sixty Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.
At this point, the Spirit Stones in Lin Chen’s possession approached eighty thousand pieces.
Until the fourth day, because most of the necessary Loose Cultivators had already purchased,
The market was saturated, and Lin Chen only sold a few Flying Swords.
"Alas, it seems business with these black market Loose Cultivators has reached its peak..."
Lin Chen felt sowhat helpless, for his gap of ten thousand Spirit Stones was yet to be filled.
However, just as he was preparing to return to the mountain gate, he suddenly heard a transmitted ssage.
"Master Five Thunders, please co to the rear courtyard and discuss with ..."
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart.
"Building Master Huaman... now that’s a major client."
Thinking of this, Lin Chen placed a few High Explosive Bombs within easy reach and entered the rear courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Xie Huaying brewed a pot of tea, seemingly having awaited him for quite so ti.
"Would Master care to drink with ?"
Xie Huaying sat on a stone stool, pouring Lin Chen a cup of tea, but did not conceal her charm in gestures.
Lin Chen pursed his lips, sat down before her, but did not drink the tea.
He spoke directly:
"Building Master Xie, are you looking to purchase so Upper Grade Magical Artifacts?"
Xie Huaying was accustod to Lin Chen’s straightforwardness, so she did not conceal her intentions either, nodding:
"Indeed, I wish to purchase a batch of Magical Artifacts..."
"How many do you want?"
"Hmm... sixty Upper Grade Magical Artifact Flying Swords, forty Upper Grade Magical Artifact Flying Knives. Is the Master able to provide?"
Lin Chen was no stranger to business.
With a light flick of his sleeve, a hundred Upper Grade Magical Artifacts filled the courtyard.
Xie Huaying was visibly astonished but rely nodded slightly, carefully inspecting each Flying Sword.
Monts later, Xie Huaying handed over a Storage Bag.
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones offered. Master, would you like to verify?"
Lin Chen scanned with his Divine Sense, securing all the Spirit Stones into the Storage Bag.
Then, he did not hesitate further, cupping his hands and saying:
"Transaction complete, I will take my leave now."
After saying this, Lin Chen turned around and walked away, his stride steady, leaving the inn...
After Lin Chen had gone, the Qi Refining Perfection guard stepped out.
"My lady, why did you not take action earlier?"
"That was thirty thousand Spirit Stones..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Huaying cast him a glance, snorted coldly:
"Ignorant thing, had I taken action... I’m afraid I’d be dead by now!"
The Qi Refining Perfection guard was taken aback.
"My lady, even if he’s in the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, he wouldn’t be a match for you, would he?"
Xie Huaying’s eyes grew colder, pointing to the hundred Magical Artifacts.
"A hundred Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, with standardized, almost identical design... Do you know what this ans?"
"These Magical Artifacts are rely crafted from Cold Iron Stone, not top-tier material."
"Yet, the workmanship is exquisite, craftsmanship superb, all from the sa Artifact Refiner’s hand... with only one thing lacking: artisan spirit!"
The Qi Refining Perfection guard didn’t grasp the implied aning.
He only humd: "My lady, lacking artisan spirit... what does that imply?"
"Hmph, you still don’t understand?"
"This ans these Upper Grade Magical Artifacts were rely casually forged by him, and he didn’t even put his heart into them!"
"Imagine, what rank and status could an Artifact Refiner with such skill hold!"
At this mont, a hint of lingering fear showed in Xie Huaying’s eyes.
"In my view, he is a Third Tier Artifact Refiner!"
"As for his identity... he might be either the Artifact Peak Master or a Core Formation Old Monster hidden at Changchun Sect over many years!"
