Selling Thunder Fire Beads

In the quiet room, Mo Yu picked up the Thunder Cloud Crystal with his left hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. A moment later, he gently exhaled. On his left palm, the crimson Profound Thunder Origin suddenly surged out...

The moment the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder appeared, crackling sounds filled the room, and the temperature rose sharply.

Compared with flames, lightning was in no way inferior when it came to artifact refining. It even had some advantages.

After all, unlike medicinal herbs, most of the materials needed for artifact refining were among the hardest substances in the world. Refining such objects with flames was extremely difficult and slow. Lightning was different; its electric current could easily break through from within the material.

Moreover, the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder contained the dual powers of lightning and flames, giving it an even greater advantage in artifact refining.

In his previous life, Mo Yu had relied on this very ability to become one of the top Artifact Refiners on the Divine Firmament Continent.

With an indifferent expression, the red, snake-like lightning in Mo Yu's hand thrashed slightly before swallowing the several pounds of Thunder Cloud Crystal... Flames and lightning churned, and before he knew it, the Thunder Cloud Crystal had been burned into a small mass of flowing yellow liquid...

Mo Yu continued tempering it with the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder for a while, then refined the Fire Profound Iron beside him as well. His purpose was to remove the impurities inside it.

Before long, the Fire Profound Iron had shrunk from its original size, which required both arms to hold, into a piece that could be gripped with one hand. Nearly half of its original impurities had been removed.

With his right hand, he grabbed the purified Fire Profound Iron and directly threw it into the lightning and flames...

After the Fire Profound Iron had been thrown in, the mass of yellow liquid visibly grew much larger.

The yellow liquid gradually covered the Fire Profound Iron. The two wriggled continuously amid the Thunder and Flames, while the scorching heat and crackling electric current ceaselessly burned away the impurities within...

Next, Mo Yu threw two Fire Nitrate Stones into the mixture. After tempering them, he melted them into the yellow liquid...

Under the forging of flames and lightning, the shape of a black bead slowly began to form.

Then, under Mo Yu's control, the black bead began to split, perfectly dividing into ten small black beads.

Another Half an Hour passed before Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes. The ten beads were gradually becoming Solidified.

The ten Thunder Fire Beads, each about the size of half an egg, emitted waves of red light in the air. The flame patterns on their surfaces bulged slightly, as if they were about to soar into the sky. The fiery patterns were vividly red, as though a raging blaze and lightning were truly burning and gathering within them.

Although the Thunder Fire Beads did not look large, careful sensing revealed the powerful fire and lightning force contained within them. Even a Dou Zhe would have to deal with them cautiously.

The entire process had Lasted for nearly an hour, and Mo Yu's complexion had gradually turned pale.

After all, he currently possessed only the strength of seven stages of Dou Qi, while the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was still in its infancy. Its might was far inferior to what it had once been.

The Crimson Lightning in his palm gradually faded. Only after it had disappeared completely did Mo Yu finally Breathe a Sigh of Relief.

"Ten Thunder Fire Beads capable of dealing with Dou Zhe and even First-Order Magical Beasts should sell for a few thousand Gold Coins. Now I just need to find a buyer." Mo Yu moved his hand and casually tucked the ten Thunder Fire Beads into his robes.

As long as Dou Qi was not infused into them, the Thunder Fire Beads were indistinguishable from ordinary beads. Thus, keeping them in his robes normally posed no problem.

After resting for another hour and fully recovering, Mo Yu stopped resting and left his home. Following the direction in his memories, he walked toward Wu Tan City's largest weapons sales venue.

The Luo Lin Weapon Sales Venue was Wu Tan City's largest weapons sales venue. Although its influence could not compare with the Xiao Family and the other Three Great Families, it was still a considerable force in Wu Tan City.

There were even some rumors that the Luo Lin Weapon Sales Venue had connections with the Mu Family.

In the empire, the Mite'er Family, Nalan Family, and Mu Family were known as the Three Giants of Jia Ma. The Three Great Families were spread throughout the empire's commercial, military, and other spheres.

The Luo Lin Weapon Sales Venue occupied a large area and was easy to find. Before long, Mo Yu arrived.

Looking at the enormous venue at the end of the street and the Mercenaries coming and going to conduct transactions, Mo Yu knew he had come to the right place.

Mo Yu touched the slightly cool Thunder Fire Beads in his robes, slowly stepped out of the alley, and walked toward the weapons sales venue at the end of the street.

Under the wary gazes of several Fully Armed Guards at the entrance, Mo Yu continued forward without pause and walked straight inside.

As soon as he entered the venue, the feeling of heat seemed to peel away from his body. The refreshing coolness gave him the strange sensation of entering an entirely different world.

His gaze swept across the spacious, magnificent hall. There were numerous Mercenaries and a dazzling array of all kinds of weapons, though none were particularly high quality.

Mo Yu walked toward a room nearby. Three large, gleaming golden characters—"Appraisal Room"—were printed on its door.

Pushing the door open, he found the room somewhat empty. Only an Old Man sat rather bored on a chair beside the table. Hearing the door open, the Old Man raised his head and looked at the young figure. His brows imperceptibly furrowed, but when he noticed Mo Yu's bearing, a friendly smile immediately spread across his face. "Young Master, have you come to have a weapon appraised?"

"Mm." Mo Yu nodded.

Mo Yu paid little attention to the Old Man's sudden change in attitude. Instead, he took the ten Thunder Fire Beads from his robes and handed them over.

"What are these?"

After taking the Thunder Fire Beads from Mo Yu, the Old Man's expression immediately turned solemn. Although he did not know what they were, he faintly sensed a trace of danger.

"These are called Thunder Fire Beads. I happened to obtain them while traveling outside. As long as you infuse them with Dou Qi and throw them, they can unleash power comparable to a full-strength attack from a Dou Zhe." Mo Yu spoke indifferently.

"Instant-release concealed weapons!" The Old Man's expression changed upon hearing Mo Yu's explanation. He cautiously placed the Thunder Fire Beads on the table and respectfully said, "Young Master, could you wait a moment? I need to ask our boss to come and appraise them!"

"Mm, make it quick." Mo Yu waved his hand without ceremony, sat down on a chair nearby, and closed his eyes to rest.

The Old Man hurriedly nodded, then rushed out of the room.

After spending a Long While in the room, the Old Man returned. This time, however, he had also brought along a bald Middle-aged Man.

Mo Yu remembered this bald Middle-aged Man. He was Wu Tan City's weapons magnate and had practically monopolized weapons sales throughout the city. Although his influence could not compare with that of the Three Great Families, he was still an important figure in Wu Tan City.

The bald Middle-aged Man did not pay attention to Mo Yu right away. Instead, he went to the table and examined the Thunder Fire Beads first. After inspecting all ten of them one by one, the Middle-aged Man nodded in satisfaction. "They are indeed instant-release, one-time-use concealed weapons. Unfortunately, their power is still a little weak. Otherwise, they would be worth more."

Concealed weapons capable of instant release often had unexpected effects in battles between Dou Zhe. Therefore, they were usually highly sought after in weapons sales.

"I am Ge Li, the boss of the Ge Lin Weapon Sales Venue. May I ask how I should address you, Little Brother?" The bald Middle-aged Man came to Mo Yu's side and asked with a shrewd merchant's smile.

"My surname is Mo. I come from the Xiao Family."

Mo Yu emphasized the words "Xiao Family." In Wu Tan City, the Xiao Family counted as a top-tier force. If he did not borrow its prestige now, he might never get another chance.

Sure enough, when he heard "Xiao Family," the bald Middle-aged Man's expression stiffened. Although he did not know Mo Yu's status within the Xiao Family, he remained courteous. "So you're a scion of a great family. I'll take these Thunder Fire Beads. How about two hundred Gold Coins each? After all, their power is still somewhat limited."

"Three hundred Gold Coins each. Otherwise, I'll sell them to the Mercenaries outside. I'm sure they would pay a good price for a life-saving trump card."

"This..." Hearing the hint of threat in Mo Yu's words, Ge Li also frowned. Then, as if he had thought of something, he smiled and said, "Fine, three hundred Gold Coins each. But Young Master Mo, if you have anything good next time, please notify me first. The Luo Lin Sales Venue will certainly not be stingy with its price!"

At three hundred Gold Coins each, the ten beads came to three thousand Gold Coins. Ge Li clearly had considerable nerve.

After the deal was completed, Mo Yu also Breathed a Sigh of Relief. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Ge Li, "I wonder if your shop has any fire- or Lightning Element Magic Cores. If so, please sell me some. You can deduct the cost from the transaction amount."

Hearing This, Ge Li smiled as well. "Naturally. If you don't mind waiting, please stay here a moment. I'll send someone to bring them over."

The Luo Lin Sales Venue often dealt with Mercenaries and naturally obtained many Magic Cores of various attributes from them. Meeting Mo Yu's request was not difficult.

Before long, a servant walked over carrying a golden cloth bag.

"There are two First-Order Fire-Type Demonic Cores and two First-Order Lightning Element Magic Cores here. For Young Master Mo's sake, I'll charge the lowest market price of four hundred Gold Coins each, for a total of one thousand six hundred Gold Coins. After deducting that, one thousand four hundred Gold Coins remain. They're all here. Young Master Mo, please inspect them."

With that, Ge Li handed the golden cloth bag to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu swept over it slightly with his Soul Power and immediately knew that Ge Li was telling the truth. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Boss Ge Li is indeed straightforward. If I get anything good, I'll come and visit again." Mo Yu did not reject the other party's goodwill.

After exchanging a few casual pleasantries, Mo Yu said goodbye and rose to leave.

After keeping busy for quite a while, it was Time to return and reap the rewards...
