News of the Mountain Spirit, Trade Fair
Great Qian Origin Stone is an extremely hard third-tier Spirit Material, making it excellent for crafting Law Treasure.
Of course, it also has another function: to stabilize space. Many suppressive or void-type Law Treasure be used in this way.
It is also one of the three most important Spirit Material in the third-tier Shi Fang.
Ye Jingcheng had given the Lineage auspicious signs many times, so Ye Jingli naturally remembered them, and his gaze involuntarily turned towards the Great Qian Origin Stone.
When he saw a kind of ethereal Spirit Patterns shimmering on the stone, he became even more certain.
"The Violet Ore Silver Iron weighs seven catties and is worth seven hundred and eighty Spirit Stone. The Great Qian Origin Stone is extremely valuable. I won't exchange it for Spirit Stone, I'll only exchange it for Law Treasure. You probably don't have one, do you?" The shopkeeper was wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe and had a very broad body, which made him look very intimidating.
Furthermore, he spoke with a rare accent, unlike a cultivator from the Yan Kingdom.
"I've bought the Violet Ore Silver Iron. This is 780 Spirit Stone. What Law Treasure can I exchange this Tai Gan raw stone for? Fellow Daoist, you might as well tell me. Perhaps my family head has one." Ye Jingli guessed that the cultivator in front of him was Foundation Establishment cultivator disguised as Purple Mansion cultivator, otherwise he wouldn't have exchanged for Law Treasure right away, so he patiently spoke up.
He already knew from the market that many cultivators deliberately pretended to be weak while actually being strong, so he absolutely could not put on airs, as it would be easy to offend people.
"Any third-tier defensive Law Treasure will do," the cultivator said.
"Fellow Daoist, if this Tai Gan raw stone were the size of a palm, it would be fine, but it's only the size of the bottom of a small bowl. At most, it's worth an offensive Law Treasure, definitely not a defensive Law Treasure." Ye Jingli argued his point. He was Artifact Refiner, and although he couldn't refine third-tier Law Treasure, he knew the price range of third-tier Law Treasure.
"That's why I said you can't buy it," the cultivator said with a cold snort.
These words almost made Ye Jingli furious, but remembering Ye Jingcheng's instructions, he remained silent and simply sent a telepathic message to Ye Jingcheng, asking him to come over as soon as possible.
"Qingwen, you all go and explore on your own. Remember, observe and listen more, and speak less," Ye Jingli instructed in a serious manner.
Meanwhile, he himself began looking at other treasures at the stall owner's stall.
Most cultivators who are looking for treasures in the market will wait for the previous cultivator to finish looking before they go up to look.
This is to avoid the situation where, if a treasure is discovered, someone else will drive up the price.
This can be considered a conventional rule.
Therefore, Ye Jingli here to continue looking at other treasures, which also prevented the Tai Gan Origin Stone from being exchanged by other cultivators.
Although this Tai Gan ore is not large, it is an excellent Spirit Material for refining high-level spirit tower Law Treasure or high-level void magic bottle Law Treasure.
Its rarity is no less than that of an ordinary low-grade third-tier magic Law Treasure.
Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng needed him, which is why he stayed here.
Seeing Ye Jingli's expression, the stall owner sneered, which made Ye Jingli feel uneasy. That smile seemed to indicate that the stall owner had him cornered and was ready to rip him off.
He's starting to regret it. While it's good to keep guarding it, it's easy for others to notice him, and he's also easy for the stall owners to take advantage of him.
"How much does this top-grade turquoise cost?" Ye Jingli asked, reluctantly starting to look for cheaper spiritual items.
"One hundred and eighty Spirit Stone." To Ye Jingli's surprise, the stall owner's price was not high.
Ye Jingli then tentatively inquired about first and second-grade low-level Spirit Material.
The price is also extremely reasonable.
Ye Jingli bought five or six items, each costing several hundred Spirit Stone, and at that moment, Ye Jingcheng finally arrived.
Ye Jingcheng's aura still revealed him to be at the early stage of the Purple Mansion. He was using the concealment Cultivation Method of Nine Rivers Master, combined with his own Great Turtle Aura-Hiding Art.
Although it's not as effective as the concealment of the Beast-Link Mark Spirit Control, even those in the Golden Core Early Stage might not be able to detect it, especially since Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense has already reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.
Furthermore, after replacing the Five Spirit True Canon, this ability to conceal one's aura became even stronger.
To be honest, Ye Jingcheng didn't expect to make a profit so quickly from the street market; he hadn't even finished refining a batch of pills yet.
But upon hearing about the Great Qian Origin Stone, he still rushed over without stopping.
It's fair to say that a whole batch of Tier 2 materials has been wasted.
"You're only upgrading to a Tier 3 defensive Law Treasure?" Ye Jingcheng asked.
"Yes, the situation is special. We're only exchanging defensive Law Treasure. Of course, if you don't want to buy them, you can leave a communication jade talisman!" The stall owner didn't care about Ye Jingcheng's aura at all, remaining neither humble nor arrogant, clearly Purple Mansion cultivator.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng's confusion, the cultivator added again:
"I also know the whereabouts of the Mountain Spirit!"
These words were transmitted telepathically, so others couldn't hear them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was also extremely shocked.
He arrived in such a hurry that he naturally made no attempt to conceal his identity.
So it's not surprising that the other party knew he was Ye Jingcheng.
But since the other party continued the invitation and even mentioned the Mountain Spirit, he simply couldn't refuse.
Mountain Spirit are clearly a type of Stone Spirit.
Moreover, the Mountain Spirit's stone marrow is very likely to become Spirit Material for third-tier Shi Fang, and it is also the most difficult stone material to find.
If it's true, Ye Jingcheng certainly can't let it go.
"Fellow Daoist, the Jade Slip is fine, but this third-tier defensive Law Treasure is too much for me. I am not a vengeful person." Ye Jingcheng nodded, then shook his head.
He then took out the Jade Slip; if he guessed correctly, it should lead to a secret realm.
Although the matter of the secret realm still needs careful consideration, for now, all he's been given is a Jade Slip for transmitting information; whether he goes or not is another matter, so Ye Jingcheng doesn't really care.
He had already realized that the cultivator before him was not from the Yan Kingdom.
That secret realm probably doesn't belong to the Yan Kingdom.
Finding help from other countries to explore hidden realms is indeed a rare occurrence.
"I'm also here for a secret realm, so defensive Law Treasure are essential. However, I can provide another Spirit Material. Fellow Daoist, why don't you take a look at these third-tier Spirit Material and see if there's anything you need?" the stall owner said again.
This time, he took out a lot of treasures from his Storage Bag again, but he didn't bring any of them directly to Ye Jingcheng.
Instead, he raised his hand in advance, creating a simple spiritual shield around himself.
This spiritual barrier separated Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli inside, like a small room, making it impossible for outsiders to see inside.
With the spiritual shield in place, the stall owner finally decided to lay out many of his Spirit Material, revealing just the tip of the iceberg.
But clearly, he wanted to see Ye Jingcheng's third-tier defensive Law Treasure first.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng no longer hesitated and took out a third-tier Mystic Mountain Shield Law Treasure.
This Law Treasure was obtained by him after killing the Nine Rivers Master. However, the Law Treasure was not very strong, only a low-grade third-tier weapon, and it had been broken before. Ye Haicheng helped him repair it.
While repairing it, some features of the Law Treasure were also modified to make its origins Law Treasure.
Furthermore, its power has also increased somewhat, making it quite good among low-grade third-tier defensive Law Treasure.
"Good, fellow Daoist, you may make your selection!" The stall owner waved his hand, then revealed five or six Spirit Material.
Among these Spirit Material are third-tier Mystic Origin Red Gold, third-tier Lightning-Attracting Wood, third-tier Glazed Gold, and third-tier Jade-Transforming Fruit.
It can be said that Ye Jingcheng needs all of these treasures. The former is another kind of Spirit Material in the Shi Fang, and the latter three are not bad either.
The Jade-Transforming Fruit can be used to refine the Jade-Transforming Pill, which has the effect of enhancing one's cultivation level in the Purple Mansion.
"Fellow Daoist, let's exchange for this third-tier Mystic Origin Red Gold!" Ye Jingcheng finally chose Shi Fang.
With this third-tier Mystic Origin Red Gold in hand, the Shi Fang isn't that significant.
"This Mystic Origin Red Gold, fellow Daoist, you still need to pay me five thousand Spirit Stone. This crimson gold is quite large, weighing a full three jin," the stall owner added.
Ye Jingcheng nodded without saying much, handed the shield Law Treasure to the other party, and also took the Great Qian Origin Stone and Mystic Origin Red Gold.
He then took out another five thousand Spirit Stone.
"Fellow Daoist, do you still want to sell the remaining Spirit Material?" Ye Jingcheng asked again.
"I won't sell it, but I'll trade it for a third-tier defensive Law Treasure!" the stall owner continued.
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I've come across a legacy cave abode. They're currently gathering manpower. If you're interested, I'll start gathering manpower after this grand wedding." After saying this, the stall owner sat down again and took out a third-tier Lightning-Attracting Wood, placing it in the same spot as before. His cultivation level still showed Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
However, Ye Jingcheng knew that this cultivator's cultivation level was at the late stage of the Purple Mansion.
Moreover, the other party had ill intentions; since they had transformed into Foundation Establishment, the Purple Mansion they were targeting was naturally either in the early or middle stages of the Purple Mansion.
However, the Mountain Spirit was indeed very tempting to him, but he wouldn't completely believe empty words. After bowing, Ye Jingcheng left.
Although he needed those Spirit Material, they weren't that rare, so Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn't take out any more defensive magic Law Treasure.
Otherwise, it would make him seem too wealthy.
This is clearly inconsistent with his status.
However, a defensive Law Treasure is quite good. The fact that he sought out the Zhang Family to refine Law Treasure is something most people don't know, but those who are interested can certainly guess.
After all, he had been to the Zhang Family's courtyard before.
That's why Ye Jingcheng agreed to the change.
But changing it again would easily raise suspicions, as defensive Law Treasure are different from ordinary offensive Law Treasure, and even veteran Purple Mansion cultivators don't have many of them.
"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?" Ye Jingcheng asked as the event drew to a close.
"My surname is Jun, you can call me Fellow Daoist Jun," the stall owner replied directly.
His surname is not common, but Ye Jingcheng still didn't expect there to be Purple Mansion cultivator with such a surname.
But he didn't say anything, after all, it was very possible that the other party was hiding his cultivation level and surname, and he was not a cultivator from the Yan Kingdom to begin with.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ye Jingcheng left his stall. With the removal of the spirit-isolating Array, everything in the market returned to normal.
People came and went, constantly asking about prices.
Some stalls even had queues, which was quite unusual.
Ye Jingcheng hadn't expected so many cultivators to be here, so he began to explore the area seriously.
During this period, they did indeed acquire a considerable amount of rare and precious spirit medicine materials.
However, they did not encounter any more precious Tier 3 Shi Fang or Tier 3 wood materials.
Soon after, Ye Jingcheng joined Ye Jinghu, Ye Jingli, and the others. The group bought several items, and Ye Qingwen even bought a Spirit Beast egg, a Firebird spirit egg, for a thousand Spirit Stone.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at it; it could advance twice. Although it wasn't the best, it was still a good deal to buy it for a thousand Spirit Stone.
Ye Jingcheng glanced at the cultivators here and suddenly had an idea.
"Sixth Brother, why don't you set up a stall here too? I'll give you some Tier 3 Purple Spirit Pill and Tier 3 Purple Soul Pill. You can exchange them for the Spirit Material in this Jade Slip!" Ye Jingcheng took out a Jade Slip.
It was handed over to Ye Jingli.
The Spirit Material here are all the Spirit Material that are lacking in third-tier wood and third-tier Shi Fang.
Exchanging it for a third-tier spirit pill is certainly a good option.
Moreover, this way, word can be spread, and perhaps in the future, cultivators will even come to exchange their treasures for it.
He hadn't considered this before, but now he certainly wouldn't let it go.
Upon Ye Jingli nodded repeatedly.
Although he was in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and was also Artifact Refiner, the Ye Family did not sell Law Artifact, so he had no place to use his skills. Now that Ye Jingcheng had asked him to set up a stall, he had third-tier spirit pills, so he could naturally take out some Law Artifact to exchange for the Spirit Material he needed.
He happened to obtain the Spirit Material for the Four-Color Bonefire Pearl, and after collecting the other Spirit Artifact, he planned to refine an even more powerful one-time-use Bone Fire Pearl.
Ye Jingli, setting up a stall in the Foundation Establishment cultivators' area as well.
Setting up a stall here costs fifty Spirit Stone per day, which is quite a lot. No wonder there are fewer Qi Refining cultivators setting up stalls, since the stall fee of fifty Spirit Stone is not something that ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can afford.
Ye Jingli followed the example of the cultivator from before, placing a third-tier spirit pill to the side, while the rest were second-tier Law Artifact.
He used some of the exquisite magical Law Artifact he had crafted over the years to barter for other items.
He would sell some Law Artifact for Spirit Stone, since there would be a large auction later, and Ye Jingli, as Foundation Establishment cultivator, also wanted to participate in the auction.
This is the perfect time to gather Spirit Stone.
"Do any of you want to help? If not, come back to the shop with me!" Ye Jingcheng said after looking around.
To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, Ye Jinghu and Ye Qingfeng all chose to stay, while only Ye Qingwen chose to go back with Ye Jingcheng.
Clearly, the others wanted to linger in the market square a little longer to see if there were any suitable Spirit Beast to buy.
Ye Jingcheng smiled and shook his head, not saying much. After all, when he was young, he wasn't much better off than these clansmen.
He then led Ye Qingwen and a few others back to the market to continue refining pills.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Inside Ye Jingcheng's room, the firelight flickered. The Crimson Flame Fox exhaled a few heavy breaths, clearly showing that even the Crimson Flame Fox was somewhat exhausted after five days of alchemy.
However, the results were quite gratifying. In front of Ye Jingcheng, there were now more than a dozen pill bottles.
Each bottle contains at least five or six spirit pills, and some contain more than a dozen.
The elixirs inside the flask were mostly Jade Soul Pill and second-tier Azure Origin Pill, with a small amount of Gold Tempering Pill.
The former enhances the Divine Soul, while the latter enhances the physical body, covering almost all types of elixirs needed by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The last batch was used to refine a second-tier Purple Miasma Pill, which can prevent miasma and Deadly Poison; it is a relatively common second-tier antidote pill.
After feeding the Crimson Flame Fox two Mystic Flame Pills, Ye Jingcheng left the courtyard.
This doesn't mean he doesn't want to refine them anymore.
Instead, a communication talisman finally lit up in his hand.
With three days remaining until the wedding day, the first Purple Mansion Trading Conference has already taken place.
To Ye Jingcheng's surprise, the first person to contact him wasn't another Purple Mansion Lineage, nor those who bought his elixirs, but rather the cultivator who set up the stall.
