From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 168: Beiming Zhen Sha
Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Beiming Zhen Sha
"Beiming Zhen Sha?!"
Li Quanqing’s eyebrows flashed with joy upon hearing this.
This was a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object of the Water Attribute, which he had only read about in books, never expecting to actually encounter one.
"I agree to the exchange, thank you, fellow Daoist."
Li Quanqing spoke, suppressing his excitement.
Seeing Master Huang Li notify his friend to come over, the light of the Communication Jade Token dimmed, he also adhered to the agreement, taking out a gourd of Taiyin Soul Water to hand over to the other party.
"What a treasure! A fantastic treasure!"
Master Huang Li couldn’t wait to open the gourd, extracting a drop of crystal clear Soul Extending Water and refining it with his Divine Sense.
This slow increase in spiritual power was an irresistible temptation for any Alchemist.
Soon, a middle-aged Cultivator arrived in the Cave Mansion, dressed in an embroidered cyan brocade robe with mountains and rivers, emanating an imposing manner with a stern expression.
"Chi Longzi, let me introduce you, this is Yan Qianye, even among the many disciples under Master Han Chi, he is one of the top."
Master Huang Li’s eyes twinkled with moonlight, somewhat reluctant to come out of his meditative state but still greeted the visitor.
"Nice to meet you, Brother Yan."
Li Quanqing slightly bowed, sensing the other party’s Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation, he must be a person of considerable authority in the Immortal City.
"Too kind of praise, in terms of cultivation, I’m no match for our eldest senior brother, it’s just the favor of our master and fellow disciples."
Yan Qianye smiled faintly, his attitude was not particularly close, giving a sense of distance.
He took out the Beiming Zhen Sha, "Coincidentally, I have a junior who is about to establish their foundation, who has a Golden Fire Spirit Root, so I made the exchange with this Daoist."
Li Quanqing took a few glances; the Beiming Zhen Sha was a dark blue-black color, like a blob of concentrated ink, extremely viscous, containing rich and dense ocean Essence Qi.
This kind of evil aura often was born in the deep sea, only after millions of years of tempering could it emerge.
He also took out a box containing Geng Metal True Evil from his Storage Bag and successfully exchanged it with the other party.
With Beiming Zhen Sha acquired, his trip wasn’t in vain, and Li Quanqing let out a slight sigh of relief.
Once both parties confirmed that the Spiritual Objects were correct, the atmosphere instantly warmed up.
With Master Huang Li facilitating the interaction, Yan Qianye took the opportunity to sit down and began to taste the Spiritual Tea, his face showing a bit more of a smile.
After some conversation, Li Quanqing learned that this person actually managed the Great Auction House of the Immortal City.
For any Cultivation Market, the existence of an auction house is undoubtedly a key moneymaking method.
Li Quanqing’s heart stirred, and he took out a Jade Scroll, "Could you please take a look for me, friend Yan, to see if there are clues to these treasures?"
The Jade Scroll contained a list of Spiritual Objects needed to refine two large arrays.
"Heavenly Fire Gold, Red Flame Essence, Jiao Mang skeleton... Water Merfolk Silk, Thunder Stone, Thunder Liquid..."
As Yan Qianye scanned it with Divine Sense, he quickly concluded: "Our treasury has roughly sixty percent of the Spiritual Objects listed in the Jade Scroll. If you need them, Daoist friend, I can arrange for them to be included in the next auction."
With their current relationship, they were not yet at the point where he could just take the Spiritual Objects out of the treasury and sell them directly to him.
After taking out a token for participating in the Great Auction, Yan Qianye left with the Geng Metal True Evil, drifting away.
Master Huang Li also looked at the Jade Scroll, now speaking with a smile, "What a coincidence, I just happen to have some Second-Rank Jiao Mang skeleton of the Fire Attribute, ready for Alchemy. Would you be interested, fellow Daoist?"
Li Quanqing was immediately overjoyed, "I can pay with Spirit Stones to purchase them from you!"
Master Huang Li chuckled and shook the small gourd in his hand that contained the Taiyin Soul-extending Water, the meaning clear without words.
"Then let’s continue with the Soul-extending Water as payment!"
Li Quanqing touched his Storage Bag feeling somewhat heartache, thinking that he should raise more Bright Moon Shells when he returned.
Such treasures that grow the soul are always in high demand everywhere.
Soon, servants carried up three Flood Dragon skeletons that were as red as fire. The flesh had been completely carved off, leaving only the jade-like bones and a large number of Dragon Scales.
Even so, an oppressive baleful aura surged forth, enveloped with red light as if burning flames undulated, intolerably fierce and hot.
These skeletons were very well preserved, filled with dense baleful energy, and the marrow within contained pure Flooding Dragon Essence Qi, perfectly suited to be refined into Flame Dragon Formation Flags.
The only flaw was that the golden-red unicorn on their heads were somewhat damaged, seemingly as if pieces had been knocked off, leaving them pitted and dented.
Master Huang Li coughed, looking somewhat embarrassed: "I used some parts of the Flood Dragon horns during alchemy before, I hope fellow Daoist won’t mind."
Li Quanqing wasn’t bothered by these details, exchanging a skeleton for a bottle of Soul-extending Water, as if to make a friend.
"Fellow Daoist, you really don’t sell Foundation Establishment Pills here?"
After completing this transaction, their relationship quickly warmed up. Li Quanqing still asked somewhat unwillingly.
Master Huang Li, fondly touching the gourd, sighed slightly: "To not deceive fellow Daoist Chi Longzi, I really don’t have any here, all were taken by the disciples of the Master."
"But..."
He paused slightly, his tone halting: "If fellow Daoist really needs them urgently, it’s not without a solution."
Li Quanqing’s eyes brightened immediately: "I am eager to hear more!"
"Where there is light, there is darkness. Although the Immortal City is vast, there are also many restrictions, and therefore those taboo treasures that cannot see the light of day tend to find their own way out."
"Fellow Daoist means... the black market?" Li Quanqing immediately understood.
Master Huang Li nodded: "It is said that in the black market of Cold Chi Immortal City, the name of Foundation Establishment Pill is circulating. Fellow Daoist may pick a day to take a look. If you act cautiously and carefully, there should be no large problem."
He flicked his sleeve, and without attracting attention, he handed over a Jade Scroll.
"Mu Daoist..."
Li Quanqing probed the Jade Scroll with his Divine Sense, firmly memorizing the maps, information, and a cultivator’s name contained within.
Subsequently with a bang, the Jade Scroll exploded into a puff of dust, vanishing without a trace.
With all matters concluded, Li Quanqing smoothly took his leave.
To complete the Flame Dragon Array, which comprises nine core pieces aligned with the number nine, aside from nine Foundation Establishment Realm Flood Dragon skeletons, seventy-two Qi Refining Realm Fire Attribute Demon Pythons are needed as support.
Li Quanqing made another trip to the Demon Beast market, spending quite a number of Spirit Stones, and finally managed to purchase twenty-four Fire Python skeletons.
Fortunately, Jiao Mangs dominate the seas and islands near the Immortal City, and the most numerous among them are various kinds of python-type Demon Beasts, making the collection not too difficult.
"The black market of the Immortal City..."
In his Cave Mansion, Li Quanqing took out the Beiming Zhen Sha and the Flood Dragon bones, handing them to the Treasure Light Toad to cultivate with the treasure aura, while pondering the information he had obtained.
This kind of black market is tacitly allowed by the officials of the Immortal City. The behind-the-scenes profits are immense, with significant hidden depths.
The black market occurs precisely on the first and fifteenth days of each month, still some time away.
Li Quanqing took out the auction invitation, and before heading to the black market, he would have the perfect opportunity to experience the grandeur of an auction at the level of Golden Core Immortal City.
To see what truly sets it apart.
