Purchased a Solar Treasure Crystal
It wasn't until the seventh person entered the arena that someone finally started selling Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill.
Despite the pain in his heart, Hermit Qingci spent 110,000 Spirit Stone to purchase a Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill.
In fact, a single Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill is not enough to guarantee success, but cultivation is not easy for Rogue Cultivator, and most independent Rogue Cultivator in the Purple Mansion do not even have a Third-Order Spirit Vein.
Hermit Qingci inherited the legacy of a sword cultivator, his wife is a third-tier talisman maker, and they also occupy the Third-Order Spirit Vein, Peach Blossom Mountain. They are considered to be doing well among the Rogue Cultivator.
Even so, spending 110,000 Spirit Stone severely damaged the couple, making their future cultivation much more difficult.
Upon acquiring the Violet-Qi Cloud-Pattern Pill, Hermit Qingci revealed a look of joy, and Chen Nianzhi also offered her congratulations.
After a while, someone finally brought out the Solar Treasure Crystal for the transaction.
It was a man in the Mid-Purple Mansion realm. He took out a high- Higher Vehicle, third-tier Solar Treasure Crystal.
"Gentlemen, I wish to exchange this Solar Treasure Crystal for a Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure."
"Would you be willing to exchange it?"
That person started by asking for an exorbitant price; although this third-tier Solar Treasure Crystal was of Higher Vehicle quality, its value was only around 80,000 Spirit Stone.
He immediately asked for a Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure, which was clearly an exorbitant price.
Someone immediately shook their head and said, "Although Solar Treasure Crystal are rare, they are not an absolute necessity."
"Those who want to exchange it for Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure are only doing so because it's rare and precious, but I doubt anyone would be so foolish as to be willing to do that."
Seeing that no one was offering Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure, Chen Nianzhi took out the Azure-Blood Demon Sword and said, "Considering the scarcity of Solar Treasure Crystal, how about I offer a Tier 3 Mid-grade flying sword?"
"A third-tier flying sword."
The man's eyes flickered slightly. Tier 3 Mid-grade Law Treasure is worth around 80,000 to 100,000 Spirit Stone, but a flying sword is worth even more.
Tier 3 Mid-grade flying sword can be used for both offense and defense, and can also be used for sword flight. For Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator, it can be considered a pretty good treasure.
Although he was Mid-Purple Mansion realm cultivator, he did not possess Tier 3 Mid-grade flying sword.
Thinking about this, he was somewhat tempted, so he began to bargain, saying, "If you add another 50,000 Spirit Stone, I'll do the deal with you."
"Your price is too high."
Chen Nianzhi frowned, revealing a hint of impatience. "Although I want a Solar Treasure Crystal, there are substitutes for it."
"Moreover, among the more than two hundred cultivators present, you are probably not the only one who possesses this item."
As he spoke, he made his final offer. "How about this, I'll add another 20,000 Spirit Stone. If you're willing to agree, I'll complete the transaction with you."
"Okay, okay, this price is fine."
The man readily agreed to the deal, exchanging Solar Treasure Crystal worth 80,000 Spirit Stone for a mid- Tier 3 Mid-grade flying sword and 20,000 Spirit Stone.
This price is already more than 40% overpriced, and not all cultivators are willing to part with such valuable treasures. Other cultivators who needed the Solar Treasure Crystal hesitated for a moment and ultimately gave up the idea of bidding.
Having acquired the Solar Treasure Crystal, Chen Nianzhi was quite satisfied. During the subsequent Exchange Fair, he spent several third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures to exchange for five Soul-Nurturing Flower, which he planned to use to refine Spirit-Nourishing Pill.
He didn't continue exchanging for the remaining treasures, as he hadn't brought many with him on this trip, and there were no treasures he urgently needed at the moment.
Just then, the three Hermit Qingci and his companion, secretly began to communicate telepathically.
The Fairy Qingyan looked at Yu Qingyan and said calmly, "Can this Wei Chongyang be trusted?"
"This person crossed Gloomwind Ridge with me, so we have a bond forged in hardship," Yu Qingyan said, then added casually, "He has no relatives or friends in the Yuan Kingdom, making him the most suitable candidate."
"However, that ruin is of great importance. If the other party becomes interested, things could change."
Fairy Qingyan was still somewhat worried and had some hesitation.
Yu Qingyan shook her head and continued, "We've tried many times over the past few years, but with our current strength, it's simply impossible to take down that ruin."
"Even if Brother Qing Ci breaks through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, are you confident you can take down that relic?"
The Hermit Qingci shook his head and sighed, "Those prodigies in the ruins are Bu Fan powerful. Even if I had broken through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, I wouldn't be confident I could kill them."
Hearing this, Yu Qingyan added, "I've seen Brother Wei in action before; his strength is probably no weaker Purple Mansion Late Stage."
"If the two of you join forces, you'll most likely be able to conquer that ruin."
The Hermit Qingci, standing to the side, twitched his brow slightly and remarked, "I observe that this person's sword intent is awe-inspiring, and his character is not wicked."
"If he truly possesses this ability, he is indeed qualified to explore the ruins with us."
The two women nodded slightly upon hearing this. Sword cultivators have very high requirements for personality; if someone has a twisted or treacherous personality, the sword intent they possess will also be insidious and vicious.
Chen Nianzhi's sword aura was magnificent and imposing, with a chilling intent to annihilate everything. As a sword cultivator, Hermit Qingci could naturally sense it at a glance.
The group, preoccupied with their own thoughts, waited until the Exchange Fair ended.
After the four left the Exchange Fair, Yu Qingyan stopped Chen Nianzhi and said telepathically, "Brother Nianzhi, come with me. We have something to discuss."
"Oh."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she flew out of Qinyuan Market.
The group arrived at a desolate mountain, where Hermit Qingci solemnly set up a soundproof barrier.
"What's the matter that requires such caution?" Chen Nianzhi frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Then Yu Qingyan spoke, her face solemn, "To be honest, we're here to invite you to explore a ruin."
"Remains."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Most of the ruins in this world were the sites of destroyed sects and immortal clans.
However, the destruction of a power is usually caused by a strong enemy. If it were destroyed by an opponent, such a site would have been looted by the opponent long ago.
Unless it was intentionally left behind, or it was a reclusive force suddenly wiped out by natural disasters or man-made calamities, how could there possibly be any treasures left behind?
In fact, even among Rogue Cultivator, except for a few with eccentric personalities, most people, even if they have no descendants, will take on a disciple to pass on their lineage before they die.
For example, Hermit Qingci's master was a senior Rogue Cultivator, before his death, found Hermit Qingci and passed on his legacy to him.
Therefore, Chen Nianzhi has lived for over a hundred years in this life and has heard of the emergence of cave dwellings of some Rogue Cultivator, but she has almost never heard of the scenes of exploring ruins in novels from her previous life.
He was skeptical, wondering if the three of them had fallen into a trap set by the Devil Cultivator.
Seemingly sensing his doubt, the Hermit Qingci shook his head and said, "The ruins we discovered are the place where an ancient cultivator passed away."
"It's definitely not fake..."
As Hermit Qingci recounted the story, Chen Nianzhi roughly understood what had happened.
