Chapter 1513 - 821: Inside the Stone Egg
The shopkeeper looked at the two items, gritted his teeth and said, "For these two items, the Jade Fan I offer one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, the Blood Gloves one hundred Spirit Stones. Young master, what do you think?"
This price, among Sharp Weapons, is already considered extremely high. Lin Feng was about to make the deal, but Hua Shengmi said, "Wait a moment, the Jade Fan should be two hundred Spirit Stones, the Blood Gloves should be one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones. If you agree, I’ll sell them. If not, I’ll leave."
Lin Feng naturally listened to Hua Shengmi’s suggestion and immediately stated the price: "Shopkeeper, are you perhaps leveraging my lack of price knowledge? My final offer is two hundred Spirit Stones for the Jade Fan and one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones for the Blood Gloves. These two items are very close to being Spiritual Artifacts. If the shopkeeper isn’t willing, I can find someone to nurture them into Spiritual Artifacts before selling. I believe at that time the price will naturally be different."
The old shopkeeper heard these words, his face unpredictable, because Lin Feng’s stated price was exactly on the edge of the old shopkeeper’s limit. Looking at Lin Feng’s determined expression, and the fact that these two items indeed had profit potential, he nodded his head, sighed and said, "Young master, this time, I am at a heavy loss." His face showed a pained expression.
The old shopkeeper then handed over a bag of Spirit Stones to Lin Feng, which contained exactly three hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.
Holding the Spirit Stones, Lin Feng mused to himself, indeed, exploiting others is the true way, the shortcut to wealth, and continued speaking to the old shopkeeper, "Do you also want these Elixirs?"
Lin Feng pulled out the Elixirs he had found on Li Tian, contained in a Jade Bottle made of Cold Jade.
The old shopkeeper’s eyes brightened upon hearing about the Elixirs and said, "Elixirs, that’s wonderful."
It’s known that Elixirs are scarce.
The old shopkeeper eagerly took the bottle, opened it, and sniffed slightly before saying, "This is an Elixir refined from Blood Lotus Essence, which greatly replenishes the body’s blood. There are ten Elixirs in the bottle; I offer ten Spirit Stones for each one."
Lin Feng nodded casually, then continued to accept the old shopkeeper’s bag of Spirit Stones, and leisurely wandered around the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. By now, he already had about five hundred Spirit Stones on him, a substantial gain, allowing him to view some superior items. At that moment, Hua Shengmi advised, "Lin Feng, you should grab this pearl and this stone."
Hearing Hua Shengmi’s words, Lin Feng immediately realized Hua Shengmi must have spotted something valuable, promptly asking, "What good things did you find?"
"Of course, found quite a few good things," Hua Shengmi responded smugly.
"Look at the upper left at that pearl." Ye Feng looked towards the pearl, and seeing its description, it was exceptionally heavy, weighing a thousand pounds.
"This is an Ocean Stabilizing Pearl? Unfortunately, it’s just a raw embryo. If nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years, it could form a whole realm," Hua Shengmi said with a hint of regret.
"You mean it’s Divine Weapon material?" Upon hearing Hua Shengmi’s words, a thought suddenly occurred to Lin Feng. Divine Weapon materials can be used to forge Treasures and Divine Weapons.
"You could say that, but it’s just a raw embryo. Even though it’s classified as Divine Weapon material, it can’t be forged into a Divine Weapon anymore," Hua Shengmi lamented.
"So what does it matter? I can fuse it into the Thunder Blade, surely it’ll make the Thunder Blade a Treasure?" Lin Feng said.
"Treasure would be challenging, but a Spiritual Artifact still has potential. However, I advise you not to smelt it, as the Thunder Blade’s current weight is perfect. Moreover, I’ve discovered materials more suited to the Thunder Blade; you can forge an excellent Treasure Weapon without the need," Hua Shengmi stated gently.
"What’s the use of having the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl then?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"You’re so clueless. This Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is condensed from the essence of water, and it’s an unmatched treasure for those cultivating Water Element Techniques. You can trade it with others or forge it into some Water Element Divine Power," Hua Shengmi said, annoyed.
Hearing Hua Shengmi’s explanation, Lin Feng realized, indeed, this is a Divine Weapon material. The value is self-evident.
Lin Feng looked at the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl’s price, merely ten Spirit Stones, really a steal.
People seldom recognize treasures, Lin Feng sighed, then put the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl into the Qiankun Bag. Being a thousand pounds, it was quite strenuous for Lin Feng to carry, so he placed it into the Wanluo Bag, where items were extremely precious, consisting mainly of herbs, which mustn’t be wasted.
Under Hua Shengmi’s guidance, Lin Feng then turned to look at another stone. This stone was pure white, and its description categorized it as Gold Element, saying it’s akin to Pure Gold, but very sturdy.
"These idiots, this isn’t Pure Gold; it’s a stone from the Ancient Thunder Pond. It contains the power of thunder, though this piece is just the upper layer, having been eroded by Thunder Water. It absorbed some of it, but it’s just suitable for Treasures, not much of a remarkable item."
Hua Shengmi seemed a bit regretful, as if non-Divine Weapon materials were worthless. But for Lin Feng, it already counted as an excellent find, truly, this item was quite good.
Holding the Thunder Stone, Lin Feng seemed to feel a surge of power accumulating, as if the Thunder Blade was faintly responding to it.
"Find a master to embed this stone directly into it, and the Thunder Blade might become a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact," Hua Shengmi said thoughtfully.
Listening to Hua Shengmi’s introduction, Lin Feng shuddered slightly. A Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact is certainly a good item, touching the stone, he felt a slight thrill, then paid twenty Spirit Stones.
Then continued to browse, though Hua Shengmi remained silent, while Lin Feng considered the idea of browsing the nearby street stalls.
Accompanied by a servant, Lin Feng left the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, feeling immensely excited inside. This venture was quite fruitful, obtaining a Thunder Stone and a piece of Divine Weapon material, even if raw and low-grade, still most precious to Lin Feng.
Bear in mind, Lin Feng was once impoverished, having nothing of value. Now, under Hua Shengmi’s guidance, he has hundreds of Spirit Stones. Even Zhou Li and the others didn’t have as many. Furthermore, possessing Earth Rank Martial Techniques, cultivation techniques imparted by the Blue Emperor, and having met the Blue Emperor himself, he has experienced immense enrichment, confronting an ancient figure, leaving Lin Feng persistently excited, reminiscing about the Blue Emperor’s elegance.
