345: Chapter 202: Trading Elixir for the Great Void (1/3) 345: Chapter 202: Trading Elixir for the Great Void (1/3) “Are you here for the competition?”
On the road, An Jing and the others casually bought three servings of grilled cold noodles from a street stall in the Special City.
They ate as they walked, chatting in a very relaxed manner.
“Yes.”
Nian Quan had intended to pay, but Huo Qing was quicker.
Now, he was eating this street food he would never normally touch, strolling and chatting leisurely with friends.
For him, this should have been considered a waste of ti, but Nian Quan felt an indescribable sense of relaxation in his heart.
“The rewards for this black market race…
or rather, the special district race, are very generous, and it has the support from above.”
“I heard from the principal that this is likely to beco a biennial long-term event.
The youth division is aid at various middle school students, while the adult division targets a large number of loose cultivators and freen.
The rewards compared to the first session, which is our session, will be reduced a bit, but there will be a guaranteed Foundation Establishnt Pill and the corresponding resources.”
“That’s really not bad.”
Huo Qing appeared to be eating slowly, but his mouth never stopped, finishing the grilled cold noodles in no ti.
Now, he was searching the map to lead the way.
Hearing Nian Quan’s words, he was a bit surprised, “A Foundation Establishnt Pill every two years…
that’s much more generous than the previous black market.”
“You have to sign a contract.”
Nian Quan shook his head slightly, his understanding clearer, “But it is also a channel.
For loose cultivators skilled in combat, it’s better for them to co forth as a blade for those above, rather than becoming dangerous elents in the wilderness and safe areas.”
— Begging on your knees, after all.
But to be fair, many people wish for such an opportunity and don’t even have the chance.
An Jing also had a clear understanding in his heart, it was nothing more than a process of inviting heads to be chopped, signing up to be dogs for the powerful.
Various competitions and selections in Xuanye City, as well as seemingly nurous opportunities to rise up, would surely lead to big forces approaching for a contract signing as soon as one really stood out.
Once you sign the contract and the pact is set, you can no longer control your own fate and beco the hitman and employee of a large conglorate.
For many people from the wilderness, the safe area, and the lower levels of Xuanye City, this was indeed a way to ascend, although with limited potential, reaching only as high as Foundation Establishnt.
But in this world, how many cultivators manage to reach Foundation Establishnt?
As long as such a path exists, Xuanye City will not fall into chaos.
If one truly objects, they can leave Xuanye City and go develop the wilderness if they have the ability.
At this mont, under Huo Qing’s guidance, the three had arrived in front of a vehicle store.
It was then that Nian Quan stopped.
After pondering, he spoke frankly to An Jing, “I think this ‘Na Xu Armguard’ is more suitable for you.”
The swordsman with a cold deanor t An Jing’s gaze and spoke earnestly, “I understand your point, consider it as if you were buying it from .
That way, I can help you, and you won’t have to worry about anything else.”
“This magic artifact doesn’t need to be cracked, has no Dark Hand, and will not have any backdoors from large companies.”
“And for , there is indeed no loss, because my family is in Xuanye City.
I don’t need to carry a lot of things around, and even if I need a Great Void Magical Instrunt, it doesn’t have to be this good.”
“On the contrary, if you need to move a lot of materials in the wilderness and safe areas, a Great Void Magical Instrunt is the only optimal solution… Therefore, it indeed should be used by you.
It’s better for to collect Good Deeds for cultivation.”
All along the way, Nian Quan had been seriously contemplating this issue.
He analyzed his own needs, considered the pros and cons for himself, as well as the needs of An Jing and the others, and felt this was truly the best solution.
“Hmm, that’s true.”
Seeing Nian Quan calm down, An Jing nodded and accepted his friend’s kindness.
Nian Quan made his decision after a rational analysis of all the factors, so it wasn’t impulsive, and naturally, he wouldn’t regret it; instead, it would clarify his heart.
Whereas acting solely on emotion, though not necessarily wrong, might sotis lead to more confusion in the future.
Of course, An Jing would not let his friend suffer a loss, and he declared candidly, “We have enough Good Deeds on hand, just quote a price when the ti cos, and naturally, I will transfer the Good Deeds to you.”
At this point, An Jing thought of sothing, he channeled his Inner Breath, patted Nian Quan’s shoulder, and whispered, “Moreover, I have Spirit Stones…
and elixirs of the Water Attribute.”
“The effect of this elixir is to simply replenish the Water Elent Spirit Qi, which can be used for cultivation, ergency detoxification, and cleansing of sickness and impure qi.
I think it should be useful to you.
I’ll show it to you later, and if you need it, then I’ll give it to you.”
Frankly speaking, if An Jing had not seen Nian Quan in possession of an excellent Magic Artifact sword, he might have even considered offering the Tyrant Sea Blade—after all, for those who practice Taibai Luminous Godly Ban and Coalescing Qi into Soldiers, weapons are always consud, so it might be better to exchange so Good Deeds from the other party and directly buy so Spiritual Gold and Spirit Iron for sustenance.
“Okay, I’ll take a look.”
Decisive as always, Nian Quan agreed, and the trio headed to a corner of the marketplace, where An Jing took out the elixirs he had obtained from Tyrant Sea Blade.
There were six pills, contained in a clean porcelain bottle with white and gold patterns, infused with the energy of earth and tal, clearly preserved based on the principle that ‘earth generates tal, tal generates water.’
An Jing didn’t know the na of the elixir, but Subdue Evil had the insight to easily discern its effects, similar to what they called the ‘Lingze Rejuvenation Pill’ in their ti—an elixir concocted by gathering the life-endowing Qi from the coasts or marshlands, enriched with the essence of water.
The coastline is where the Water Elent ecosystem is most concentrated, and the vitality there is no different; this pill could restore vital energy, heal injuries, strengthen one’s core, cleanse impurities within the body, and revert to innate purity.
Nian Quan never thought the elixir in An Jing’s hands would be anything special, figuring at most it would be sothing like a Water Spirit Pill—but now, upon closer inspection, his eyes widened, and he repeatedly looked up at An Jing and then at the elixir, unable to believe what he was seeing.
“Qi Refinent…
no, this is an elixir even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator can use…
and it’s actually of the Water Tianyuan!”
Subconsciously lowering his voice, Nian Quan spoke softly and incredulously as he looked at An Jing, “You shouldn’t take this out lightly, it will…
it will cause problems…”
An Jing was initially puzzled by Nian Quan’s nervous, almost stamring response.
But he quickly rembered; the Spirit Qi of water and wood in the Tianyuan Realm seed to be quite scarce in this world where acid rain was everywhere and plants needed greenhouse cultivation; the rarity of the Lingze Rejuvenation Pill increased by another level.
“Then gratefully accept it.”
Seeing Nian Quan’s expression, An Jing knew the value of this bottle of pills, probably even higher than that of a Great Void Magical Instrunt, given how Nian Quan’s hands were subconsciously retracting, a sign of being sowhat embarrassed.
And with so assertiveness, he took the Na Xu Armguard from Nian Quan’s hands and stuffed the bottle of elixirs into his: “I see you’re close to a breakthrough in Qi Refinent; take this pill, I guarantee you’ll have no worries about your breakthrough!”
“Moreover, if you need to advance to a higher level of Qi Refinent in the future…
co find , find Huo Qing.
We…
still have two Spirit Stones!”
“This is just too…
too extravagant…”
Nian Quan hesitated, knowing how precious the pills An Jing held were, especially for soone with a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root like himself.
That’s because the Spirit Qi of water in the Tianyuan Realm was mostly tainted by Demonic Qi and Calamity Qi, turning into acid rain, with only a few special nodes within the city where pure Water Qi was available.
For soone with a Water Spirit Root, cultivation was inherently more difficult than for others; carelessly drawing from nature’s power could even lead to contamination with impure Qi, clouding the Spirit chanism within the body.
But with An Jing’s elixirs, even if there were only six, it ant Nian Quan had six opportunities to cleanse the impurities from his body, allowing him to confidently draw in the natural Spirit Qi on any ordinary day, and at critical monts, consu the pill to dilute and cleanse with its power!
