Ice Profound Iron Scythe

"Oh, I see. I thought it was something else. Books on making Spirit Talismans are everywhere, aren't they afraid of them becoming too common? Now, after your explanation, Shopkeeper Wang, I finally understand why. Thank you for clearing that up for me!"

Lu Wanyuan said with a smile.

"You're too kind, too kind. Little Brother Baili, do you have any other needs? Our shop can definitely satisfy them. Do you need any pills? We have some here, such as Qi Gathering Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills, Spirit Returning Pills, Spirit Solidifying Pills, and so on, all for the Qi Refining stage."

"Oh, I don't need those for now. Do you have any scythe-type Magic Tools? I'm looking for one to harvest crops!"

Lu Wanyuan thought to himself. Harvesting an acre of Yellow Barley Malt spirit grass was so difficult. The main reason was the lack of a suitable and handy scythe-type Magic Tool. Otherwise, it should have been easy to finish harvesting and wouldn't have taken so much time. Later, he would have to harvest 5 acres each time. If he continued harvesting like this, it would surely kill him.

Therefore, it was best to use a sharper tool for harvesting. This would save time and effort!

"Please follow me. Look, we have all sorts of scythes here, and the materials used to refine them vary. See which one you like!"

Shopkeeper Wang led Lu Wanyuan to a shelf and pointed to the scythes radiating Spiritual Energy on it.

The scythes on the shelf had various shapes, lengths, and peculiar designs.

Lu Wanyuan was speechless. Just a scythe-type Magic Tool had to be so flashy. He was truly speechless.

"This is the Mysterious Ice Scythe Magic Tool, very suitable for harvesting spirit plants of the water attribute. It can achieve twice the result with half the effort. That one over there is the Blazing Flame Scythe Magic Tool, suitable for harvesting spirit plants of the fire attribute. We also have scythes for other attributes!"

Shopkeeper Wang pointed to several scythe-type Magic Tools beside him.

After the explanation, Lu Wanyuan finally understood. His knowledge was indeed shallow.

"Shopkeeper Wang, could you recommend some scythe-type Magic Tools suitable for harvesting spirit plants of the metal attribute for me?"

"Oh, indeed. The Yellow Barley Malt spirit grass you harvest is a metal-attribute spirit plant. Do you see that corner over there? Those few scythes emitting golden light are the ones. See which one you want to choose; the prices are all marked on them!"

Shopkeeper Wang pointed to the scythe-type Magic Tools on a shelf not far away.

He walked over, took out a scythe-type Magic Tool with a slight hook and about half a foot long. Then, after injecting Spiritual Power into it, it instantly transformed into a scythe one zhang long.

"This scythe is refined from cold iron and is called the Ice Profound Iron Scythe. It can emit cold air and cool down the surroundings. After all, it's easy to get hot and sweaty during harvesting. If there's a cold current, it would be much more comfortable. The most crucial thing is, do you see this faint cold light around the scythe?"

Lu Wanyuan looked closely and saw that it was indeed covered with a layer of golden light, so he nodded.

"It is this light that makes the scythe extremely sharp, allowing it to easily cut through metal-attribute spirit plants!"

"Oh, how many spirit stones is this scythe-type Magic Tool?"

"Well, Little Brother Baili, you are a regular customer here. How about this: the original price is 300 spirit stones, but I'll give you a discount now and sell it for 250 spirit stones."

"Ah, 250? No, let's make it 260!" Lu Wanyuan immediately corrected him because he felt an immense resistance when he heard the price.

Shopkeeper Wang was baffled by Lu Wanyuan's offer. He hadn't expected him to offer a higher price by 10 spirit stones. What was going on? People usually bargained down, but this person was bargaining up.

However, if there were spirit stones to be made, why not take them? 260 spirit stones for an even better deal.

"Alright, I'll give you this Ice Profound Iron Scythe!"

Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed and handed the Ice Profound Iron Scythe to Lu Wanyuan.

Lu Wanyuan took it immediately without even looking at it. Instead, he directly put it into his storage bag and then took out 260 spirit stones from it to give to Shopkeeper Wang.

"Little Brother Baili, do you need to buy anything else?"

Shopkeeper Wang took the spirit stones and continued with a smile.

"Alright, how about this, Shopkeeper Wang, how much are your Qi Gathering Pills per pill?"

Lu Wanyuan immediately thought that it would be more reliable to improve his cultivation and strength first. If his strength improved, the duration of his Spirit Rain Technique would be longer, and harvesting over a hundred acres of Yellow Barley Malt grass wouldn't feel so exhausting!

At first, he had thought of using his spirit stones for other things, but now he realized that the benefits from other things were not as great as the benefits from improving his own cultivation realm.

Furthermore, it would provide better safety assurance!

"Qi Gathering Pills are 10 spirit stones each. A bottle of 10 pills is 100 spirit stones per bottle. Little Brother Baili, how many bottles do you need?"

"I'll take four bottles!"

Lu Wanyuan immediately took out another 400 spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Shopkeeper Wang.

As of now, he had originally earned 750 spirit stones, and now only 90 spirit stones were left. It was truly a case of earning money and spending it all, not taking a single spirit stone home!

"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll get them for you right away!"

Shopkeeper Wang's grin stretched all the way to his back molars. After taking the spirit stones, he went to get the Qi Gathering Pills.

Before long, Shopkeeper Wang returned with the Qi Gathering Pills. Lu Wanyuan took them without a word and immediately put them into his storage bag.

A shop like this would surely not ruin its reputation over a mere bottle of pills, or it wouldn't be able to do business in the future.

Seeing how shrewd Shopkeeper Wang was, he would definitely not do such a foolish thing, so Lu Wanyuan put the pills into his storage bag without checking them.

He just didn't expect such small pills to be so valuable.

It was true that those who could cultivate various arts would never starve. This gave him a glimmer of hope. When his spirit stones were abundant, he would consider this matter. However, there were many people who could cultivate various arts, but very few who could truly succeed.

Besides, the spirit stones he earned now had to be shared among three people: himself, Baili Qiuyue, and her unborn baby. They were already struggling to make ends meet.

"Alright, Shopkeeper Wang, I'll be taking my leave. Let's cooperate again if there's a chance in the future!"

"Certainly, certainly. I eagerly await Little Brother Baili's next visit!"

Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile and watched Lu Wanyuan's departing figure.

After Lu Wanyuan left, he immediately headed towards the live poultry market, a place where spirit beasts, spirit fish, and spirit fowls were sold.

Baili Qiuyue is currently eating for two, so she needs some extra nutrition.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of fish is this? How much is it?"

Lu Wanyuan immediately stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner was an old man, at least seventy or eighty years old, as evidenced by his white beard.

Seeing the old man's appearance, he worried if he would end up in the same situation when he got old, working as a stall owner outdoors.

However, he snapped back to reality, pushing aside other thoughts.

In the pond, several unusual spirit fish were swimming, emitting a silver glow all over their bodies. He could clearly feel spiritual energy swirling around them.

The fish looked plump and firm, weighing about three pounds!

"Oh, this is called a Silver Moon Spirit Carp. It's a very difficult fish to raise. A Fellow Daoist found these fish in a cave; they should be wild spirit fish!"

"And they are very nutritious spirit fish. Not only is the meat delicious, but more importantly, it's rich in spiritual energy. Eating them regularly can greatly benefit the body!"

"It can improve one's physique, especially for those with weaker constitutions or pregnant women. Currently, the price is 20 spirit stones per pound!"

"Oh, in that case, pick out a smaller one for me!"

Hearing the detailed description, Lu Wanyuan couldn't help but want to get one for Baili Qiuyue to try.

"Certainly, how about this small one?"

Shopkeeper Wang pointed to a smaller Silver Moon Spirit Carp in the corner.

"Good, I'll take this one!"

Lu Wanyuan nodded.

It was weighed at three pounds and five ounces, costing 70 spirit stones. After this purchase, he only had 20 spirit stones left in his storage bag.

After buying the Silver Moon Spirit Carp, he quickly headed home!
