Gu Chen looked calmly at the young man who claid to be Zhao Wu from the Fierce Sun Palace, with a slight smile, he said: "Not for sale."
Zhao Wu’s face turned extrely ugly, his eyes filled with a nacing look, and he closed the folding fan in his hand.
Gu Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest, showing no signs of tension.
"What, planning to rob ? Do you want to shout?"
He finished and deliberately raised his chin, revealing a provocative look.
A few breezes swept overhead, as the enforcers patrolling the island flew by.
Although this Zhao Wu also had the cultivation of the Spiritual Origin Realm, he didn’t dare to provoke these enforcers. This place was not dominated by their Fierce Sun Palace alone, and if he angered them, even if they didn’t kill him, they would suppress him.
"Fine, you are very good, I’ll rember you."
Zhao Wu said coldly, then turned and left.
Gu Chen quietly relaxed his grip on the Spirit Sword hidden in his sleeve, sneering as he headed towards the Flying Treasure Tower.
He wasn’t a fool and naturally wouldn’t rely on so-called rules for everything. If it really ca to a fight, possessing a spiritual artifact ant he had nothing to fear.
Inside the Flying Treasure Tower.
Zhong Lin waved his hand to uncover the lid of the Pill Furnace, and three gray Spirit Pills flew into a prepared Jade Bottle.
He let out a light breath. Even with the help of the Spiritual Artifact Furnace, refining the Nourishing God Pill took considerable effort from him, but the result was extrely satisfying.
He shook the Jade Bottle in his hand, and the three Spirit Pills inside collided with each other, producing a series of crisp sounds.
A Sixth Grade Elixir, and one that targets the Divine Soul, could be auctioned, and each one would be a treasure at the bottom of the box.
Storing the Elixir into his Storage Bracelet, Zhong Lin thought to himself: "Next is to open the Soul Palace as soon as possible and break through to the Yunling Realm. I’ve been gathering Spiritual Bodies for long enough, it’s ti to break through."
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"
Elder Lian Shan, who had been helping out on the side, couldn’t help but applaud, his face full of admiration.
"Truly worthy of a Sixth Grade Elixir, the complexity of the ingredients, the exquisiteness of the technique, it really makes one look up in awe."
Zhong Lin waved his hand to also store away the Pill Furnace and said with a smile: "Elder Lian Shan, you need not be modest, with your talent and ability, it won’t take long to catch up, or even surpass ."
"Haha, you sure know how to talk, unlike your master who would only mock !"
Elder Lian Shan laughed heartily, though his words were modest, his face was full of confidence.
Zhong Lin didn’t respond to that. He just listened as Elder Lian Shan and his master exchanged playful banter, as was their habit.
"Elder Lian Shan, this is a Purple Mansion Pill my master asked to prepare for you."
Zhong Lin handed over the prepared Elixir.
Elder Lian Shan wasn’t shy, he took it and uncorked the bottle, gently savoring the scent.
"Ah! What a Purple Mansion Pill, truly worthy of a Sixth Grade Elixir. With this, I should soon be able to break through to the Innate Realm. I won’t be polite to you now. In the future, if you want any elixirs refined, just let know. Although I am not as good as you, I can still assist in refining so lower-grade elixirs."
"Elder Lian Shan, there’s no need for formality, it’s all for the sake of the Sect."
The two exchanged so alchemy experiences, and since Yin Daoyan hadn’t returned for a long ti, Zhong Lin also took his leave, taking Gu Chen back to the Purple Cloud Sect.
In mid-air.
"Master, I picked up a treasure today, look at this."
Gu Chen, like showing off a treasure, took out a pearl the size of a pigeon egg and handed it over.
Flying, Zhong Lin paused in surprise to look at Gu Chen.
Treasure hunting?
Again?
Such a niche term.
When did treasure hunting beco so simple?
The concept isn’t just about buying low and selling high in ordinary business; it’s about finding a treasure among a pile of rubbish, which could fetch a hundredfold or thousandfold in Spirit Stones.
Zhong Lin examined the pearl in Gu Chen’s hand, pigeon egg-sized, wholly jet-black, and upon closer inspection, one could see the black color inside flowed like a living thing, and a familiar aura emanated from it.
"Blood Sha? No, it’s not Blood Sha, this is another type of Shaqi."
Blood Sha is the mysterious energy pervading the Blood Cave on the Xuan Gui Continent, like blood mist.
The power within this pearl was sowhat similar to Blood Sha but was not the sa.
Chen Jia once said there are very peculiar energies in the world, different from primordial Qi, and Shaqi is one of them.
This Shaqi is extrely rare, usually found only in so vicious places, and ordinary martial artists can’t even co into contact with it, even if they did, they could only run away.
According to Chen Jia, Shaqi relates to higher martial arts, though he didn’t know its specific use, but he could confirm Shaqi is definitely a treasure.
So... this ti, Gu Chen picked up another treasure, and it’s even more precious than Heavenly Soul Wood.
"Shaqi? Does Master recognize this pearl?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
"I don’t recognize it, but the power within the pearl feels very similar to the Blood Sha I’ve seen; I’m not completely sure what it is either," Zhong Lin shook his head and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"Disciple bought it from a sea-dweller at the market earlier; it was wrapped in a layer of Pearl Powder, costing disciple thirty Spirit Stones, I’m not sure if it was worth it," Gu Chen scratched his head and said.
Zhong Lin looked at Gu Chen with a peculiar expression.
Worth it?
It’s definitely worth it.
Even though Zhong Lin himself didn’t know what this thing was for, since even Chen Jia ntioned it pertains to higher martial arts, it’s certainly worth a fortune.
In martial arts cultivation, the higher the realm related to sothing, the more valuable it is, be it weapons, elixirs, or cultivation techniques.
Even a forr Xuandan Realm master like Chen Jia said Shaqi relates to stronger martial arts, which ans it can’t just be described as precious— it’s simply invaluable.
"Gu Chen, how did you discover there was sothing else wrapped in that Pearl Powder?"
This was sothing Zhong Lin was very curious about because, in terms of experience, Gu Chen fell short even compared to when he first arrived at Luoxing Islands, given that back then, he had the thousand-year-old ghost, Chen Jia, to help him.
"Disciple doesn’t know, just a feeling, felt sothing was off about it, so I decided to buy it," Gu Chen said, his face full of confusion.
Zhong Lin took a deep breath, looking deeply at Gu Chen.
Confird.
This lucky disciple of mine is definitely a child of destiny, or at least soone with great luck.
This is precisely like the novel’s depiction of those with great fortune, stumbling across peerless treasures by chance, gaining legacies upon falling off cliffs.
Taking it further, treasures could even fly from beyond the sky and acknowledge the owner themselves.
As for beauties, servants, mutant beasts, they’d all bow their heads willingly.
Geez, this is just unreal.
