Chapter 158

"I want to buy some cultivation items. Which floor do I need to go to?" Cheng Yu asked the waiter.

"The cultivation items are on the third floor. Two immortal masters, please follow me," When the waiter heard Cheng Yu wanted to buy cultivation items, he quickly led the way.

It was the same as Ningshui City's Qiongyu Building. The first and second floors were all restaurants. The third floor and above were cultivation items.

"Two friends, I am Zhang Shou. I am the manager here. May I know what you two need?" When Cheng Yu and Zhang Shou reached the third floor, a 50-year-old old man went forward to introduce them. The old man was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

"Manager Zhang, may I ask if you have any blacksmithing techniques here?" What Cheng Yu wanted the most was to obtain a set of blacksmithing techniques. The equipment he was wearing was too poor.

"I'm sorry. This blacksmithing technique is too precious. Even if it's a very ordinary blacksmithing technique, the price would be very high. Therefore, in Tianhai City, we would not normally have these items. If you really want to buy it, you can go to a third-grade city to buy it. Those places' Qiongyu Building would usually have one or two sets in stock, "When he heard Cheng Yu wanted to look for blacksmithing techniques, Zhang Shou was slightly disappointed. However, he still explained to Cheng Yu in detail.

"So it's like that! Does Manager Zhang know how many spiritual stones a set of the most ordinary blacksmithing technique would cost? "Cheng Yu did not expect that a set of blacksmithing techniques would be so difficult to buy. Could it be that this thing was really so expensive?

"Normally, the most ordinary yellow-grade blacksmithing technique would cost at least a few thousand low-grade spiritual stones. As for high-grade blacksmithing techniques, there's no way to estimate them," Zhang Shou replied.

A few thousand spiritual stones?! D * mn it! He had sold 1000 supreme-grade Qi Gathering Pills only to get 5000 low-grade spiritual stones. A yellow-grade blacksmithing technique actually cost a few thousand? This was too damn expensive! It seemed like he had to think of a way to earn spiritual stones during this trip to the Cultivation World. Otherwise, after risking his life for a few months, if he did not get anything, he would be screwed.

Cultivation techniques were usually divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Heaven grade was the highest, and Yellow grade was the lowest. Actually, Cheng Yu's idea was very simple. He just wanted to find a blacksmithing technique and ponder over the profoundness within it before researching it himself. But now, it seemed like it was impossible for him to get a good blacksmithing technique.

"Fellow cultivator, a normal blacksmithing technique is basically useless. Not only is the quality of the item refined inferior, the grade is also very low. Even if it is refined, it would only be an ordinary magic tool. There are a lot of magic tools in the market, and no matter how good the quality is, it would only be worth a few hundred low-grade spiritual stones. It really doesn't have much value," Zhang Shou explained.

Actually, Cheng Yu also understood this logic. When it came to alchemy, Cheng Yu was very good at it. However, blacksmithing, Cheng Yu knew nothing about it. Previously, he had tried using the method of refining a storage ring.

However, this method seemed to only be able to refine a simple storage ring. Maybe it was because this method was too simple, or maybe it was because refining a storage ring could not be considered as blacksmithing. Therefore, Cheng Yu was unable to find a direction.

Now that he had arrived at the Cultivation World, Cheng Yu hoped that he would be able to obtain a complete blacksmithing technique for him to research. After all, a good piece of cultivation equipment was an essential item for cultivators.

At the same realm, if one of them was holding onto a Treasured Tool or Spiritual Tool, the other party would be able to kill their opponent easily. From this, it could be seen how important a good piece of equipment was to a cultivator.

If Cheng Yu had a Treasured Tool in his hand, he would not have been beaten up so miserably a few days ago. At the very least, when he exchanged blows with Huang Wen, he would definitely be able to kill Huang Wen.

"Friend, do you want to take a look at something else? Recently, we have a new batch of goods. It is very suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to use. Does Friend want to take a look? "When Cheng Yu did not reply, Zhang Shou opened his mouth again.

As for the sloppy old man who had been standing behind Cheng Yu, he was naturally ignored by him. The old man was already used to the way others looked at him, so he did not mind it at all. Besides, with his cultivation, there was not a single item here that he would be interested in.

"Is it? Manager Zhang, can you take it out for me to take a look? " Since he did not have any blacksmithing techniques, he had to get himself a suitable weapon first. At the very least, it had to be able to display his strength.

"Alright. Please wait for a moment," When he heard that Cheng Yu had the intention to buy it, Zhang Shou quickly ran up to the fourth floor.

"Old man, is blacksmithing techniques really so precious?" There were only two people left on the third floor. Cheng Yu looked at the old man and asked. No matter what, the old man was still someone from the Cultivation World. He should be able to understand more than Cheng Yu.

"I can't say it's precious, it's just that it's rare. Just like what he had said before, a good blacksmithing technique would usually not be sold. If he were to sell it, the grade would naturally not be high. It was indeed a piece of chicken rib. You want to learn blacksmithing? Do you know that if you want to refine a good equipment, your cultivation must first be high? Otherwise, even if I were to give you a set of heaven-rank blacksmithing techniques, you would still not be able to refine a spiritual tool, "The old man said to Cheng Yu disdainfully.

"Why is that so?" When he heard the old man's words, Cheng Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"What's so strange about it? Could it be that you think that with a set of heaven-rank blacksmithing techniques, you would be able to refine an immortal tool? With your cultivation, the most you would be able to refine is a treasured tool. You still need a set of blacksmithing techniques to be able to do so, "The old man did not explain in detail.

Although the old man did not explain in detail, Cheng Yu understood very quickly. As a pill master, he knew that a lot of high-grade pills also had this kind of limitation. Just like the current Cheng Yu, even if he had the ingredients, he would still not be able to refine an immortal pill. In the end, it was all because his cultivation was not high enough.

However, Cheng Yu felt that even if he could only refine a treasured tool, it would still be sufficient for him to use for a period of time.

Not long later, Zhang Shou carried a few long boxes down.

"Sorry for the wait. These are the new goods that we have just received. This sword is a middle-grade treasured tool," Zhang Shou opened up the long box first. Inside was a long silver sword.

"It's indeed a good sword. I wonder how many spiritual stones does Manager Zhang need for this sword?" Cheng Yu picked up the sword. The sword's body was ice-cold. Immediately, a faint cold Qi permeated through his body. The overall feeling was not bad.

"Fellow cultivator has good eyesight. This Black Ice Sword was refined using a piece of thousand-year-old Black Ice. Because the grade isn't high, I won't bid too high. How about 8000 low-grade spiritual stones?" Zhang Shou saw that Cheng Yu was very satisfied with the sword, so he smiled and said.

"8000 low-grade spiritual stones? That's too expensive. Although this sword is not bad, with my current cultivation, it doesn't have much value, "When Cheng Yu heard the price, his heart immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. D * mn it! As expected, he was a poor ghost. Such a sword already cost 8000 low-grade spiritual stones. If he were to use pills to exchange for it, wouldn't he just refine it to death?

"Then what price can Fellow Cultivator offer?" Zhang Shou was not surprised when Cheng Yu tried to bargain. If Cheng Yu didn't bargain, then it would be really surprising. As a businessman, when he met a stranger for the first time, he would naturally ask for a higher price.

"Let's wait and see what happens next." From the looks of it, he could only buy one item. Therefore, Cheng Yu wanted to take a look at the rest and choose the one that he was most satisfied with. "Alright.

This is also a weapon. It's called Gale Blade. However, it's only a low-grade Treasured Tool, "Zhang Shou opened up another box. Inside was a blade.

"This is a defensive tool. Purple Gold Inner Armor. It's also a low-grade Treasured Tool," Cheng Yu did not speak. He only watched as Zhang Shou opened up the boxes one by one, looking at the items inside.

"What's this?" When Zhang Shou opened up the last box, there was a white pearl the size of a cow's eye. Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"This pearl is called Illusion Essence Pearl. It can transform into any living creature," Zhang Shou explained.

"Illusion Essence Pearl? It can transform into living creatures? "Cheng Yu was astonished. This thing was somewhat similar to his Art of Derivation From All Living Things.

"Yes. As long as it's a living creature, it can transform into living creatures. Furthermore, the living creature that it transforms is no different from the real one. However, the living creature that it transforms is restricted by the user's cultivation. In other words, it can only transform into living creatures that are in the same realm as the user, "When Zhang Shou saw Cheng Yu seemed to be more interested in this, he explained in detail.

"Oh? Then when the living creature transforms, it can be controlled by the user? " Cheng Yu was shocked. This pearl was actually able to transform into living creatures. It was known that his Art of Derivation From All Living Things was only able to transform into an illusion. Although it was said that when one cultivated to the highest realm, they would be able to transform into living creatures, Cheng Yu did not know if it was real or not.

"Of course. As long as you insert your mental energy into the pearl and crush it, it will be able to transform into any living creature that you wish to transform into. However, the time limit is only half an hour."

"You still have a lot of these pearls?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"We only have one of these. If Fellow Daoist wants, I can give it a cheaper price. 2000 low-grade spiritual stones."

"The living creature that you transforms into will have the same cultivation as the user. At most, it will be able to have a helper that is similar to the user. However, the time limit is too short. Furthermore, it's a one-time use item. I can only offer 500 spiritual stones," Cheng Yu countered for the first time.

When the old man heard Cheng Yu's price, he laughed. He already knew that this kid was very shrewd. 2000 spiritual stones, but in the end, he only offered a quarter of it. However, this manager was obviously trying to scam Cheng Yu. Previously, the Black Ice Sword was refined from Thousand Year Black Ice, but it was only a small piece. However, there was only a small piece of hundred-year mysterious ice inside. Who would use an entire piece of Thousand Year Black Ice to refine a middle-grade treasured tool? Wasn't that just nonsense?

Although the old man understood this, he did not tell Cheng Yu. He also wanted to see if Cheng Yu would fall for it. If Cheng Yu fell for it, he deserved it. Who asked him to not treat his senior as his senior?

"500? This won't do. Although this pearl is like what you said, it doesn't have any obvious advantage, it is still a miraculous object. If it is used properly, during a crucial moment, it might be able to shine brilliantly and help you out a lot. If you really want it, I will give you 1500. " When Zhang Shou heard Cheng Yu's price, he trembled. In a short while, he had gotten rid of 3/4 of it. This was too thorough.

"How about this. I am indeed interested in this pearl. If you are really sincere in selling it, I will give you 1000. You should know that 1000 is enough to buy a piece of equipment. Perhaps, it might even be able to save your life a few more times."

"This … 1200. If you want it, you can take it," Zhang Shou thought for a moment and said. This place was at the border of Kunlun. It was not easy to do business here, especially for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Those who could take out a few thousand spiritual stones were not a lot.

Although this pearl was miraculous, it was of little value. To be able to sell it for 1200 was already not bad.
