"I want to buy some cultivation items. Which floor do I need to go to?" Cheng Yu asked the waiter.
"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.
Similar to Ningshui City's Qiongyu Building, the first and second floors were restaurants. Only 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 introduced. The old man was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
"Manager Zhang, may I ask if you have blacksmithing techniques here?" What Cheng Yu wanted the most was to obtain a set of blacksmithing techniques. The equipment he was wearing right now was too poor.
"I'm sorry. This blacksmithing technique is too precious. Even if it's an ordinary blacksmithing technique, its price would be very high. Therefore, in Tianhai City, we usually don't have such 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 find 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 much a set of ordinary blacksmithing techniques would cost? "Cheng Yu didn't expect that a set of blacksmithing techniques would be so difficult to buy. Could it be that it was so expensive?
"Usually, the most ordinary yellow-rank blacksmithing techniques would cost at least a few thousand low-grade spiritual stones. As for high-rank ones, it's impossible to estimate," 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-rank blacksmithing technique actually cost a few thousand? This was too expensive! It seemed like he had to think of a way to earn spiritual stones during this trip to the Cultivation World. Otherwise, he would have risked his life to stay here for a few months. If he didn't get anything, he would be screwed.
Cultivation techniques were usually divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Heaven was the highest, and Yellow was the lowest. Actually, Cheng Yu's idea was very simple. He just wanted to find a blacksmithing technique and ponder over its mysteries before studying it himself. But now, it seemed that even if he wanted to get a good set of refining techniques, it would be impossible.
"Fellow Daoist, in fact, the general refining technique is simply of little value. Not only will the refined items be of poor quality and low grade, but the price will also be extremely low. Even if it is refined, it will only be an ordinary magic tool. There are not many magic tools in the market, and even the best quality would only be worth a few hundred low-grade spirit stones. It really doesn't have much value," Zhang Shou explained.
Actually, Cheng Yu also knew of this logic. When it came to pill concoction, Cheng Yu was very good at it. However, Cheng Yu knew nothing about blacksmithing. Previously, he had tried to refine a storage ring.
However, this method seemed to only be able to refine simple storage rings. Maybe it was because this refining method was too simple, or maybe it was because refining a storage ring could not be considered as refining a weapon. 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 set of blacksmithing techniques for him to study. After all, a good piece of cultivation equipment was an essential item for cultivators.
In the same realm, if one of them wielded a Treasure or Spirit Weapon, the other could easily kill an opponent of the same level. From this, it could be seen how important a good piece of equipment was to a cultivator.
If Cheng Yu had a Treasure 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 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 nothing here that he would be interested in.
"Is that so? Manager Zhang, can you take it out for me to take a look? " Since he did not have any blacksmithing techniques, he had to first get a weapon that was suitable for him. 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 this blacksmithing technique 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 know more about blacksmithing than Cheng Yu.
"It can't be said to be precious. It's just that it's rather rare. Just like what he had said before, a good blacksmithing technique would 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 technique, 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 technique, 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 technique to be able to do that, "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 not be able to refine an immortal pill. In the end, it was 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 the long box first. Inside was a long silver sword.
"Indeed a good sword. May I know how many spiritual stones Shopkeeper Zhang wants 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 will not ask for too much. 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? It was too expensive. Although this sword is pretty good, with my current cultivation, it doesn't have much value, "When Cheng Yu heard the price, he sucked in a breath of cold air. [Damn it, I am really a poor ghost. This sword costs eight thousand low-grade spirit stones. If I were to exchange it with elixirs, wouldn't I die?]
"Then what price can Fellow Daoist offer?" Zhang Shou was not surprised by Cheng Yu's counter offer. If Cheng Yu didn't counter offer, then it would be truly surprising. As a businessman, when he encountered a stranger for the first time, it was natural for him to ask for a higher price.
"Let's wait and see what happens next." Cheng Yu only had a total of 5000 spiritual stones on him. It seemed like he could only buy one item. Therefore, Cheng Yu naturally wanted to look at the other items and choose the one that he was most satisfied with.
"All right, this is also a weapon. Its name is Gale Blade. However, it is only a low-grade Prized artefact." Zhang Shou opened up another box. There was a blade inside.
"This is a defensive tool, the Purple Gold Inner Armour. It is also a low-grade Prized Weapon." Cheng Yu did not speak. He only looked at Zhang Shou opening the boxes one by one, looking at the items inside.
"What is 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 the 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 is 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 living creatures according to your will. However, the time limit is only half an hour."
"You still have a lot of such pearls?" Cheng Yu enquired curiously.
"We only have a total of this. 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 an additional helper like the user. However, the time limit is too short. Furthermore, it is a one-time use item. I can only offer 500 spiritual stones at most," Cheng Yu bargained for the first time.
When the old man heard Cheng Yu's price, he laughed. He knew that this kid was very shrewd. 2000 spiritual stones, but in the end, he was only willing to offer a quarter of it. However, this manager was obviously trying to scam Cheng Yu. Previously, although the Black Ice Sword was refined from Thousand Year Black Ice, 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? That won't do. Although this pearl is like what you said, it doesn't have any obvious advantages, it is still a miraculous item. If it is used properly, it might be able to shine during a crucial moment and help you out. If you really want it, I will offer 1500. " When he heard Cheng Yu's price, Zhang Shou felt his body tremble. In a short while, he had already gotten rid of 3/4 of it.
"How about this. I am indeed interested in this pearl. If you are really sincere in selling it, I will offer 1000. You should know that 1000 is enough to buy a piece of equipment. Perhaps, it might even be able to save my life a few times."
"This … 1200. If you want it, you can take it," Zhang Shou thought for a moment. This place was located 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 too weak. Being able to sell it for 1200 was already not bad.
