Since spiritual weapons are in such short supply, the competition for treasures like top-grade spiritual weapons would surely be fierce.
Chen Lin secretly thanked himself for being smart and not getting involved in any treasure hunt.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "There was definitely a fight over it, but it was said that it was first discovered by a group of Qi training monks, and most of the casualties were Qi training monks, but in the end it fell into the hands of an outsider foundation building monk."
"It was taken by an outsider foundation-building cultivator. Aren't the two seniors from Kaoshan Sect and Qingyun Sect present?"
Chen Lin was a little confused.
On their own territory, the treasure was snatched away by outsiders. The two major foundations of Guyuan City are a bit weak!
Of course, this has nothing to do with him. He is not a native here and has no sense of belonging. He is just asking out of curiosity.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
"Previously, all the items dug out from the ancient cultivators' caves were Qi training items. There were only one or two broken Foundation Establishment items, and they were ordinary items. Although it caused quite a stir, all the people who came were Qi training cultivators. After all, no one expected the level of a collapsed cave to be very high."
"So the Foundation Establishment seniors from several surrounding sects agreed to only allow Qi training cultivators to discover it, and everyone should fight for it based on their own abilities. This still gives our local cultivators some advantages, and the two seniors from Kaoshan Sect and Qingyun Sect also agreed."
Chen Lin suddenly realized that he had not paid much attention to the information from the ancient cultivator's cave, so he really didn't know about these things.
"If that's the case, why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator still try to snatch it?"
Chen Lin asked again.
Then he smiled and answered himself: "That's right, this is a spiritual weapon, and it is a top-grade one. No agreement can stop the temptation of the treasure!"
The shopkeeper also smiled and sneered, "If the agreement is useful, then the world of immortal cultivation will be peaceful. Once the top-grade spiritual weapon comes out, all agreements will be in vain. But even if the foreign foundation-building cultivator gets it, it will be impossible to take it away smoothly. I heard that the two seniors from Kaoshan Sect and Qingyun Sect have already caught up with him."
At this point, he suddenly straightened his expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm telling you this mainly to remind you that since a top-grade spiritual weapon has appeared, I'm afraid that the Lieyang Sect will also send experts here. You have to be more careful in your actions in the near future and don't offend people you shouldn't offend."
It turns out that this is the other party’s purpose.
Chen Lin hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your reminder, shopkeeper. I will pay attention to it."
After that, he asked the other party: "Does the shopkeeper have any high-quality spirit stones?"
"Top-grade spirit stone, what do you want that for? It shouldn't be useful for Qi training, right?"
Old Zhang looked at Chen Lin in confusion.
"Oh, I'm just asking casually. I've been practicing for so long, but I've never seen what a high-grade spirit stone looks like. I can't help but be a little curious."
Naturally, Chen Lin would not tell the real purpose, so he just made up a reason.
The old master glanced at Chen Lin and said:
"Although they are all spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones are rare and probably not available in this market. Even if they are available, it is impossible to exchange them at the same rate as low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones. If you are curious, forget it. If you really need them, go to Zhao's Trading Company and have a look.
Chen Lin frowned.
He knew that high-quality spirit stones were scarce, but he didn't expect them to be so scarce.
"Why are high-quality spirit stones so scarce? Does the shopkeeper know?"
Since it concerns the use of puppets, Chen Lin must understand the situation.
Moreover, it is only a Qi training stage puppet now, so medium-grade spirit stones are barely enough. If you want to refine a foundation-building puppet in the future, you will have to have high-grade spirit stones.
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Why are high-quality spirit stones so scarce? Is there any need to ask? Of course, there are fewer high-quality spirit stone mines."
Without waiting for Chen Lin to ask, he continued to explain: "Although there are many spiritual stone mines in the world of cultivation, most of them are below the middle grade. There is only one high-grade spiritual stone mine in the entire Yan Kingdom's world of cultivation, which is controlled by the Lieyang Sect. The high-grade spiritual stones produced are limited, so it is naturally rare for us to see them in this small border town."
"In addition, high-quality spirit stones are used by foundation-building masters and Jindan masters. We, small Qi training cultivators, basically don't need them. The people who come to this market to trade are all Qi training cultivators, so it's normal that they don't have high-quality spirit stones."
Chen Lin nodded when he heard this. Not to mention the world of immortal cultivation, in any world it is the superior people who enjoy the superior resources.
Since he asked, he might as well ask it all at once. Chen Lin spoke again: "High-grade spirit stones are so scarce, so how can top-grade spirit stones be even scarcer? What do those who are stronger than Jindan Zhenren use?"
"Hahaha!"
The shopkeeper laughed loudly, pointing at Chen Lin and said, "You are quite ambitious, but I advise you not to think too much. There are more than tens of thousands of cultivators in my Great Yan Country, but there is only one Golden Core True Person. Let alone you, I have lived for so long, and I have only heard of it. I have never heard of it really existing!"
After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper said, "Although I have never seen a more powerful cultivator, there are many records of the grades of spirit stones in the classics. Above the top-grade spirit stones are the ultimate spirit stones, and the higher-grade ones are spirit crystals. But I'm afraid we won't see them!"
As the old shopkeeper was talking, he suddenly began to sigh.
Chen Lin also fell silent.
The path to immortality here seems to be more difficult than imagined.
After leaving Ruyifang, Chen Lin came to Zhao’s Trading Company.
After purchasing some materials, he continued to inquire about the top-grade spirit stones.
"Daoyou wants a high-grade spirit stone, but do you need to set up any special formation?"
There were quite a few customers in Zhao's Trading Company. When they heard Chen Lin's question, several of them looked at him in surprise. An old man at the counter asked with curiosity.
This old man is the monk who was in charge of the auction at the previous exchange meeting. It is said that he is the merchant's patron and is good at identifying various treasures. He has been guarding the shop during this period of time.
Chen Lin had seen the other person every time he came here several times before.
"I'm not going to study the formation, but I have another use for it. Does your company have any in stock?"
Chen Lin did not say the specific purpose.
The old man did not ask any further questions. Although high-quality spirit stones were rare, they were not particularly scarce for their Zhao Company.
He glanced at Chen Lin and said, "What a coincidence! I have one in my hand. If you want it, I'll give you 120 middle-grade spirit stones."
Chen Lin's eyes lit up when he heard that, but he immediately smiled awkwardly.
He didn't have so many spirit stones on him, so he could only say: "I'm sorry. I'm just asking if I have any. I don't have enough spirit stones now. Can I come back to buy them when I have enough?"
As soon as these words came out, the customers around smiled.
But no one ridiculed it.
They couldn't even take out one hundred and twenty medium-grade spirit stones.
The old man also smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. If you have enough, just come to me, provided that I haven't sold it by then."
Chen Lin left the business with an embarrassed look on his face and returned to his residence without stopping.
In fact, if he tried hard, he could collect 120 medium-grade spirit stones. He just needed to sell some of the Chuyuan Pills.
However, there are too many people in the business, and something worth 120 spirit stones could easily be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, there is no need to worry. You can quickly collect enough spirit stones by refining talismans.
After leaving the market, Chen Lin bought a few talismans to ward off evil spirits and a more advanced talisman to kill evil spirits.
Regardless of whether the bride's abnormality was an illusion or not, we had to take some precautions.
Of course, with his current level of cultivation, he can deal with ordinary evil creatures.
Now he is no longer the weakling he was in Kaiyuan City.
In the next few days, Chen Lin increased the workload of making talismans.
When you are resting, you can control the puppet to increase your proficiency in its use.
When this puppet is not using any attacking skills, it does not consume many spirit stones and can be maintained.
Sometimes Chen Lin would nurture the newly condensed nameless sword energy.
This sword energy is also a big gold consumer. Not only does it require a large amount of pure spiritual power to condense its prototype, it also consumes a lot of energy when nurturing it. Moreover, once it is used, it will be emptied at once.
But Chen Lin would rather save some money in other places and strengthen this nameless sword energy.
This sword energy has brought him two great achievements. Moreover, it is hidden in the body and can be controlled with just the thought. It has a very strong concealment effect and is a great trump card for a comeback.
If it weren't for this sword energy when he faced Yue Hai, he would not have been alive until now.
Thinking of the nameless sword energy, Chen Lin remembered the female cultivator named Xu Ruolan.
I don’t know whether the other party escaped or not.
At that time, when he was on Yuehai's flying boat, he seemed to see the other party's figure on the Han family's huge flying sword, but it was just a flash by, and he didn't know whether he saw it wrong or not.
If it is really the other party, then since Han Lingyue has come out, the other party should be able to come out as well.
