Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 268 Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice

Chen Mu spoke in a muffled voice, and the stall owner's face suddenly changed. He used his spiritual sense to quietly probe towards Chen Mu, but he could not detect any trace of his cultivation energy, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He picked out one of the few intact magical instruments on the stall with one word, so his cultivation must be quite high...

The stall owner's eyes flickered frequently, and in the blink of an eye he had already thought of a response.

"My fellow Taoist, you have a good eye. This item belongs to the Eternal Life Hall, which occupies the Mu Country's immortal world. It's a standard magic weapon. Although its function is single, its power is quite good. It's not as powerful as a spiritual weapon, but it's not much different. I took great pains to obtain this item from a cultivator in the Eternal Life Hall..."

"But if you really want it, 1,800 spirit stones..."

The stall owner slowly threw out a price, testing Chen Mu with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The price of a top-grade magic weapon is generally around one thousand spirit stones, but such a powerful and unconventional magic weapon is naturally more expensive, but not as much as one thousand eight hundred spirit stones. It can be seen that the stall owner is still a little unsure about Chen Mu's cultivation level, so he is still testing him.

"Hmph!" Chen Mu's heart moved, and he snorted coldly: "A mere standard magic weapon, are you taking advantage of my poor eyesight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu waved his sleeves and the many magical instruments on the stall were divided into two ends. One end was full of damaged magical instruments that were only for show, and the other end was full of intact magical instruments like the Yama Banner.

This action attracted the attention of the monks who were stopping there.

The stall owner's heart sank when he saw this, and he immediately determined that Chen Mu's cultivation was powerful, no less than the realm of perfect Qi Condensation. Otherwise, unless he was proficient in refining equipment, he would not have such vision.

But no matter how strong their cultivation was or how proficient they were in refining equipment, it was not someone a casual cultivator like him was willing to offend...

"Hahaha... Daoist friend, you're joking. How dare I cheat a customer like that?" The stall owner's expression changed, and he gave an apologetic smile. He put the two halves of the magical weapon back together again, and then continued in a voice transmission, "I truly admire Daoist friend's discernment. I'd like to make friends... Would you agree to one thousand spirit stones?"

The stall owner subtracted 800 spirit stones at once, which showed that he wanted to make amends. After all, this was a black market. Although fighting was forbidden on the surface, if someone was targeted, he would eventually be unable to escape the battle.

Therefore, he would not offend those monks with strong cultivation if he could, and those who cheated and deceived would only take advantage of those with weaker cultivation.

Chen Mu's eyes flickered when he heard this, but he remained silent. He realized that one thousand spirit stones was not the stall owner's bottom line...

Seeing this, the stall owner gritted his teeth and continued to transmit his message, "Eight hundred spirit stones! If fellow Daoist doesn't agree, I can do nothing more."

Eight hundred spirit stones, he couldn't earn a single one...

"Yes." Chen Mu smiled in his heart, then nodded slowly, silently took out eight hundred spirit stones, and then put the Yama Banner into his pocket.

After the matter was settled, he was about to turn around and leave, but the stall owner stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay...Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is quite impressive. Would you be willing to earn some resources? I know a place that can lead directly to the territory of Mu Country. It only takes a little risk..."

Before the stall owner could finish his words, Chen Mu responded coldly, "Stop talking!"

The Mu Kingdom is now the training ground of the Palace of Eternal Life. Even if they explore it and get some resources from the Palace of Eternal Life by chance, it is not worth it compared to the price they pay for it.

It can be seen that the stall owner...has other intentions than selling wine.

Looking at Chen Mu's gradually receding black-robed back, the stall owner's eyes flickered, but until Chen Mu disappeared around the corner, he couldn't bring himself to track him.

"That's all..."

Chen Mu continued to walk through the black market with a calm demeanor, meticulously observing the various spiritual objects on the stalls on both sides. The Yama Banner was just a pleasant surprise on this trip, not enough to make him turn around and leave.

The purpose of his trip was to obtain at least second-grade top-grade spiritual materials, no matter what kind of material it was, as long as it was suitable for forging spiritual sword embryos... Of course, third-grade spiritual materials would be better, but spiritual materials of this grade were hard to come by, so he didn't have much hope.

Chen Mu was secretly calculating as he walked, but he didn't come across any spiritual materials that were suitable until he had searched the entire black market.

The highest grade is only a second-grade top-grade spiritual wood. Although it can be used to refine a spiritual sword, the grade after it is completed will definitely not be high, and it will need to be upgraded again in a short time. Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Mu still did not take action to get it.

Fortunately, this black market lasted for seven days. There was no time on the first day, and Chen Mu was not planning to leave. He simply found a cave to rent in the black market and meditated while waiting for the black market to start the next day.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Mu went out for a walk every day, but still couldn't find anything he liked.

Until this moment, I finally saw a spiritual object of the second-grade supreme level...

Chen Mu hid behind the crowd and looked at a simple stall in front of him.

There was nothing else on the stall except for one kind of spiritual material, Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice.

Xuanyin Wannian Bing does not mean that it has been deposited for ten thousand years, but is a unified name.

This item is extremely unique, forming only in some little-known extremely cold ice caves. Even at a hundred years old, it is already a first-grade, top-grade spiritual material. The extremely cold energy contained within it is extremely powerful. Once released, it is often enough to greatly reduce the mana of cultivators at the middle or high levels of Qi Condensation, hindering their movements...

And after a hundred years, it will reach the first-class level, and will be gradually upgraded to the second-class level as the years go by.

After exceeding the thousand-year limit, it was promoted to the third level and became extremely precious.

As for the ten thousand year level indicated by the name of this item, it is already at the fourth level or above, far beyond what Chen Mu can currently access...

"However, a second-grade ultimate-grade item is already sufficient. If I use this item to forge a sword blank, I might be able to forge a mid-level spiritual sword..."

Chen Mu looked at the black-robed stall owner who was bargaining with the cultivator. He used his powerful spiritual sense to quietly explore and found that this person's realm was the same as his, both in the early stage of foundation building.

He was not surprised at all. If a Qi Condensation cultivator had taken out such a spiritual object, he would have become suspicious.

After a moment, Chen Mu faintly released a trace of aura, walked forward, picked up a second-grade lower-grade Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice and began to examine it.

In an instant, the stall owner noticed the aura of realm that Chen Mu deliberately revealed.

Seeing that it was a fellow Daoist, the stall owner immediately transmitted a voice message and chuckled, "Daoist friends, please feel free to check it out. These are all genuine Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice!"

Chen Mu nodded and toyed with the spiritual object in his hand. After a while, he quietly sent a voice message to test, "The Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice here... seems to come from the same place. I wonder if you have any third-level spiritual objects?"

As soon as these words came out, the stall owner's eyes flashed, as if he had touched upon a taboo. He immediately said in a cold voice, "No, these spiritual objects are all I have."

Judging from his expression, it seemed as if he would have scolded Chen Muruo if he hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage...
