They wandered around the street, strolling and looking at the shops.
An hour later, they appeared in a vast Bluestone Plaza. There were many stalls here, displaying all kinds of items. Most of the stall owners were True Immortal cultivators, and there were even several Golden Immortal cultivators among them.
Before long, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stopped in front of a small stall. The stall owner was a tall, thin gray-robed elder. Judging by his aura, he was at the True Immortal Late Stage.
The stall displayed some ores and Immortal Wood, all materials useful to True Immortal cultivators.
Wang Changsheng's gaze fell on an irregular golden object. He picked it up and examined it carefully, sensing a powerful energy fluctuation from it. A Chaos Beast Crystal Core had been refined into the object, so he casually asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"
"It's a semi-finished item with a Chaos Beast Crystal Core refined into it. It's at least a Five-Colored Crystalline Core. Five thousand Immortal Essence Stones. I won't discuss anything less."
The gray-robed elder spoke.
"A Five-Colored Crystalline Core! It can't even be restored. Your price is far too high!"
Wang Ruyan frowned.
"It can't be restored, indeed. But it's fine for feeding Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects. Some Spirit Insects and Spirit Beasts like devouring Chaos Beast Crystal Cores. After devouring enough, they might undergo a mutation. Still, it's best to devour pure Crystal Cores. Devouring too many impure Crystal Cores will cause problems."
The gray-robed elder explained.
"Five thousand Immortal Essence Stones is indeed too much. How about three thousand?"
Wang Changsheng haggled. It wasn't that he lacked these Immortal Essence Stones; he simply didn't want to attract attention. Very few people would spend so many Immortal Essence Stones on a semi-finished item.
"Not selling!"
