Chapter 214: Chapter 0198: Can We Talk Again? Chapter 214: Chapter 0198: Can We Talk Again? Chapter 0198: Can We Talk Again?
Qi Tian initially spend a few days at the fighting arena and then twenty more days at the cultivation ground. His ti in Wanjie City was running out, so Qi Tian planned to use the remaining ti to do things that could help him increase his strength. His first stop was the fighting arena to see if he could still assess one’s strength using the Heavenly Dao Engine embedded in his Qi Sea.
The result was outstanding. Previously, his Heavenly Dao Engine would tremble crazily in his palm whenever it sensed a valuable object that it wanted to devour. Now, it no longer trembled, but it instantly transmitted its assessnt of the object to Qi Tian’s mind. Thus, Qi Tian now had the ability to assess how much Spirit Qi an object or a person was containing. This ability was very useful.
Qi Tian then stayed a day in the fighting arena, where he bet on ten consecutive matches. For each match, he bet two hundred middle-grade spirit stones. The odds varied in each match, and Qi Tian won eight out of the ten matches, netting him over two thousand middle-grade spirit stones. This made his total holding of middle-grade spirit stones rise back to over three thousand.
Qi Tian decided to quit while he was ahead and left the fighting arena. Then, he took out the map Huang Liuyan gave him and started scanning through it ticulously.
When Huang Liuyan gave him the map, he had glanced over it roughly. He rembered that there was a so-called at Market in the grey area that she marked out for him and decided to go check it out. He didn’t co up with this idea on a whim. The recent advancent of the Heavenly Dao Engine was possible because of a piece of unknown ore found in the stomach of a One-Hoofed Mad Bull. He reasoned that if such a thing could be found in the body of a One-Hoofed Mad Bull, then similar discoveries could be made from the corpses of other Spirit Beasts as well.
Qi Tian rembered many instances in his previous life where jewels were found inside animal bodies in the news. Animals would eat things they couldn’t digest which eventually would end up in their stomachs. These occurrences presented treasure hunting opportunities. Moreover, there was another reason why Qi Tian had to visit the at Market. He had run out of the Tiger Roar Pills, and he lacked tiger bones to produce more. Perhaps he could find the bones of a Tiger Demon that he needed in the at Market.
The at Market in Wanjie City was specifically for the trading of Spirit Beast corpses. Many cultivators who made a living by hunting, would carefully prepare the beast corpses and sell them. So would just simply put up the creature’s body for sale, while others would remove the more valuable parts and leave the rest for sale.
Qi Tian, riding on Hu Niu, arrived at the at Market. Nearby, there was a place specifically for storing Spirit Beasts. Qi Tian left Hu Niu there and headed toward the at Market.
Before he reached the at Market, Qi Tian saw two stalls at the entrance of the at Market, one selling broken bones and the other selling scrapped at and offal. The bones, so still covered in flesh and blood, others dried up and bleached, were piled up into a virtual mountain. On the other hand, various types of beast ats and offal were mixed together into a pool of at. The stench of blood was so overpowering it could make a person nauseous.
Despite the state of the goods, the stalls were crowded. Like the raw spirit stone stalls, these were popular among the cultivators in the neighborhoods around Wanjie City. They believed that they could find high-level Spirit Beast parts in these pieces of bone and at scraps, the sa way high-grade spirit stones could be found in raw spirit stone ores. These scraps were not expensive, so many are willing to co here and give it a shot.
Qi Tian didn’t intend to pay any attention to these stalls initially. However, when he passed by them, he suddenly felt a strong signal from the Heavenly Dao Engine.
Since Qi Tian was here to find cultivation resources, he decided to take a look after sensing a discovery from the Heavenly Dao Engine. He went to the broken bones stall first, then frowned at the mountain of bone scraps.
Seeing Qi Tian approach, the cultivator guarding the bone mountain gave him a bag and lazily said, “Pick whichever bone you want. Each pound costs one spirit stone.”
Although there was so amount of Spirit Qi left in these bone scraps, they were definitely not worth the price given their small Qi content. Only those looking for a treasure could accept these prices.
Qi Tian received the bag and ascended the bone mountain. The bone mountain was about the size of two basketball courts and about the height of one person. A dozen people were already sifting through the broken bones. Seeing Qi Tian climb here, they only gave him a quick look then went back to their search. To them, Qi Tian was a newcor, and newcors usually ant more business for the stall owner.
Qi Tian seed to be strolling around aimlessly, but he was constantly in tune with the strong and weak signals from the Heavenly Dao Engine. Soon, he found the first object that had the Heavenly Dao Engine interested. It was a small bone, about the size of a breadstick. With no trace of flesh and blood on it, the bone appeared incredibly pale and seed quite old.
