Cheap Water-Affinity Spirit Iron
Half a day later.
The edge of Turtle Spirit Island.
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Beast Taming Pouch at his waist, summoning the Black Armored Turtle. He then pulled Qian Fei, who was looking at the giant Black Armored Turtle with surprise, and jumped onto the Black Armored Turtle's shell.
"Master, why is this turtle so big?" Qian Fei asked Ling Pengyun curiously, touching the large shell of the Black Armored Turtle at her feet.
Ling Pengyun, now a father, patiently answered the questions raised by Qian Fei.
"This is no ordinary turtle; it is a demonic Demon Beast that can cultivate. Now I have tamed it, and it has become my Spirit Beast."
"This turtle is called the Black Armored Turtle, and its main function is defense."
"You can take a look at this Demon Beast Compendium."
After saying that, Ling Pengyun took out a Demon Beast Compendium he had kept from his Storage Bag and handed it to Qian Fei.
Qian Fei was also quite interested in the Demon Beast of the Cultivation World, so she immediately began to look through them with curiosity.
Ling Pengyun then signaled the Black Armored Turtle to sit down and dive into the water, heading towards the largest Wood Origin Marketplace in the Wood Origin Sea Region.
At the same time, he sat down cross-legged and continued to study the Aura Concealing Art recorded in the Azure Sea True Scripture.
Half a month later.
The Black Armored Turtle finally arrived outside Wood Origin Marketplace Wood Origin Island, where Muyuan Market is located. Wood Origin Marketplace is on the edge of Wood Origin Island, and its presence can be seen from afar with the naked eye.
Ling Pengyun then put away the Black Armored Turtle, took Qian Fei, and went up to Wood Origin Island, entering Wood Origin Marketplace.
Walking along the main road of this medium-sized market town, I looked at the cultivators passing by and the bustling activity within the market town.
Ling Pengyun had a sudden thought.
"Although this market is a medium-sized market, it is located next to the residence of the Nascent Soul Great Sect Wood Origin Immortal Sect. I imagine there should be quite a lot of Water Spirit Iron in this market."
His Magic Treasure Cone Shape- shaped Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl, still needs a full 100,000 jin of Water Spirit Iron to be incorporated into it before it can be tempered to the third-tier Law Treasure level.
This amount of Water Spirit Iron is quite substantial; it would require excavating at least two small Water Spirit Iron veins to obtain enough.
If Ling Pengyun wanted to raise this batch of spirit iron after returning to his Lineage, even with the help of his cousin Yang Siling, it would take him decades.
After all, the Hundred Spirits Sect is also extremely short of spirit iron. No matter how much power Yang Siling has, she cannot directly hand over this huge amount of spirit iron to Ling Pengyun.
Ling Pengyun couldn't wait decades.
Furthermore, purchasing large quantities of Water Spirit Iron from my cousin Yang Siling also requires paying 30% more than the market price.
Otherwise, the other Golden Core True Person cultivators under the Hundred Spirits Sect would also stop this.
Faced with the challenges of long processing time and high prices, Ling Pengyun immediately made up his mind.
Immediately, he led Qian Fei along the main road into the most bustling area of the market, into a shop called "Wood Origin Gathering Treasure Pavilion" that belonged directly to the Wood Origin Immortal Sect.
Upon entering the shop, a beautiful young woman with a curvaceous figure, who looked no more than nineteen or twenty years old, and with a youthful appearance, greeted them.
"Senior, what would you like to buy?"
Ling Pengyun revealed his purpose.
"Does your shop sell Tier 1 Water Spirit Iron?"
Upon hearing this, the beautiful maid's eyes lit up immediately.
Because her cultivation level was only at the Qi Training Middle Stage, and Ling Pengyun had used Aura Concealing Art, she had difficulty detecting Ling Pengyun's cultivation level, so she directly addressed Ling Pengyun as senior.
"Senior, you've come to the right place. Some time ago, our sect discovered a large First Rank Middle Grade Water-Bearing Iron Mine in the Wrathful Whale Sea Region. The vein can produce tens of thousands of catties of Water Spirit Iron every day."
"It even produced a considerable amount of second- and third- Water Gathering Spirit Iron."
"As long as you have Spirit Stone, our shop can provide first-tier Water Spirit Iron."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was immediately startled.
The large spirit iron vein stretches for at least 100,000 zhang in length, with an ore content of at least one million to ten million.
Even if that large spirit iron vein is only a first-tier Water Gathering Spirit Iron vein, it can still produce spirit iron worth at least five million spirit Spirit Stone.
Not to mention, large-scale First Rank Middle Grade- Water Gathering Spirit Iron mines also produce some high-grade Water Gathering Spirit Iron, and even Fourth Rank Water Gathering Spirit Iron is probably found in those mines.
It's just that the owner of that mine Wood Origin Immortal Sect, is unwilling to share such a precious resource.
Under such circumstances, the total value of that mine would only be over five million Spirit Stone.
As his thoughts returned to normal, Ling Pengyun remembered something and asked the maid about it.
"Fairy, was the Beast Tide that Wrathful Whale Marketplace encountered a hundred days ago caused by that mineral vein?"
The beautiful maid replied, "Senior's guess is correct. Most of the sea Demon Race are naturally fond of water, which also means that there are many Golden Core Demon Beast beasts that need Water Spirit Iron to refine their Lifebound Magic Item and Lifebound Magic Treasure."
"These Demon Beast clans at the Golden Core stage and above have an enormous demand for Water Spirit Iron. After the Demon Race in the surrounding seas of the Wrathful Whale Sea Region learned about the Water-Bearing Iron Mine, they all ventured into our sect's Wrathful Whale Sea Region."
"Although the Water-Bearing Iron Mine discovered by our sect is located within the inner perimeter of the Wrathful Whale Sea Region, the Wrathful Whale Marketplace is the face of the Wrathful Whale Sea Region."
"If those sea Demon Race want to seize that mine, they need to break through the Wrathful Whale Marketplace. Otherwise, our sect can rely on the Wrathful Whale Marketplace to trap and kill all the Demon Race who have entered the Wrathful Whale Sea Region."
"This led to the encirclement and attack of the Wrathful Whale Marketplace."
"However, how could those sea Demon Race possibly breach the Wrathful Whale Marketplace built by my sect?"
"Our sect leader Wood Origin True Lord, and the Supreme Elder, Azure Origin True Lord, who has been in seclusion for a hundred years, have both rushed to the Wrathful Whale Marketplace."
"With these two True Lord in charge, our sect can certainly ensure the safety of the Wrathful Whale Marketplace."
"If it weren't for my low strength, I would really like to go to the Wrathful Whale Marketplace to participate in the battle and earn a lot of merit by hunting Demon Beast."
Ling Pengyun looked at the maid with a regretful expression, smiled, and thought to himself that the maid was rather naive.
If it were really that easy to gain merit in the Wrathful Whale Marketplace, why would the Wood Origin Immortal Sect Wrathful Whale Marketplace send two Nascent Soul True Lord to oversee it?
Even the Azure Origin True Lord, who had not appeared in the world for a hundred years, was alarmed.
Only the Immortal Sect has remained for nearly a hundred years, with the newly Nascent Soul Realm Birch Wood True Lord, staying behind to guard the sect.
This move clearly indicates that the Wrathful Whale Marketplace is likely facing a grim future.
"How much does your store charge for First Rank Middle Grade- Water Gathering Spirit Iron?" Ling Pengyun asked.
"If the amount of spirit iron you purchase is less than a thousand catties, our shop can sell it to you for thirty-five Spirit Stone for every ten catties."
"If the amount of spirit iron you wish to purchase is within ten thousand catties or even exceeds ten thousand catties, our shop will charge forty Spirit Stone per ten catties," the maidservant replied immediately after regaining her composure.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was quite satisfied with the price.
In the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, a pound of First Rank Middle Grade Water Spirit Iron is worth five Spirit Stone.
The vast ocean has numerous Water Vein in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, resulting in many water-based mineral veins and an abundance of Water Spirit Iron. This is why the price of Water Spirit Iron is about 30% cheaper than in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
In any case, purchasing Water Spirit Iron Spirit Stone this Boundless Sea Region is at least 40% to 50% cheaper than in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
As for the extra price required for buying more spirit iron, it's because spirit iron can be used to forge magical Law Artifact. Selling spirit iron directly would be somewhat disadvantageous. Since more people buy, the shop will naturally raise the price to make up for some of the losses.
"Then I'll take ten thousand catties. By the way, does your shop have any spiritual items that can enhance lifespan?"
Ling Pengyun revealed the amount of spirit iron that had been agreed upon beforehand.
He had a total of 50,000 Spirit Stone in his Storage Bag, which he and Ling Yunhong had brought with them when they left home.
The two originally intended to use these Spirit Stone to rent a sect formation when they broke through to the Golden Core stage.
However, since the sect lent the formation to Ling Pengyun for free, he saved on the 50,000 Spirit Stone.
Since the Spirit Stone were taken from the Clan Repository by the two of them, the Clan Head Ling Yunhong, considering that Ling Pengyun had returned to the Lineage early and that he himself had some wealth, handed over the Spirit Stone Spirit Stone Ling Pengyun Ling Pengyun, intending for him to take them back to the Lineage.
If Ling Pengyun hadn't been mindful of the abundance of Water Spirit Iron in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, he wouldn't have used this public fund.
Upon hearing the quantity of ore requested, the maid's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
"Senior, of course, we have items in our shop that can enhance lifespan. These include First-Tier Superior-Grade Longevity Pill that can increase lifespan by three years, priced at 500 Spirit Stone; a Longevity Spirit Shell that can increase lifespan by three years, priced at 500 Spirit Stone; Second Rank Low Grade Longevity Spirit Shell that can increase lifespan by six years, priced at 1,000 Spirit Stone."
"There are no higher-level lifespan-enhancing items in our sect's Gathering Treasure Pavilion."
"Then I'll give you six Second Rank Low Grade Longevity Spirit Shell," Ling Pengyun nodded.
Immediately, the maidservant smiled and invited Ling Pengyun to a quiet room in the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, asking Ling Pengyun to wait for a moment.
Then, the beautiful female cultivator left the quiet room.
As the door to the meditation room opened again, a well-bred, Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, dressed in fine clothes, entered carrying a string of Storage Pearl.
Previously, the maid had been following behind the richly dressed monk.
"Fellow Daoist, I am the manager of this shop. The ten thousand catties of First Rank Middle Grade -Water Gathering Spirit Iron and the six Second Rank Low Grade Longevity Shell that you requested are all here."
The elegantly dressed manager handed the string of Storage Pearl in his hand to Ling Pengyun and said...
Immediately after Ling Pengyun received the Storage Pearl, he sensed the presence of a subtle Array Formation Aura.
I'm afraid that if he makes any unusual move, he will be attacked by the formation.
He could understand that.
He probed the Storage Pearl with his Divine Sense and found that the amount of spirit iron and the grade of the Longevity Shell were correct. Only then did he take out 46,000 Spirit Stone.
Upon seeing this, the steward in his fine robes was delighted and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, if you wish to purchase Water Spirit Iron again in the future, I will definitely offer you a 5% discount."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was quite tempted.
A 5% discount may not seem like much, but if you buy a large quantity of Water Spirit Iron, you can save a lot of Spirit Stone.
"If that's the case, it wouldn't be impossible to save up enough Spirit Stone in the future and come to this Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World specifically to buy Water Spirit Iron."
Ling Pengyun's heart stirred.
With his thoughts returning to normal, he agreed to the matter, then bid farewell to the manager and left the "Wood Origin Gathering Treasure Pavilion".
