Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 200 Selling Miscellaneous Items
Mission Hall.

Ma Dongmei was stunned when she saw the Crown of Thorns and the Jade Phosphorous Cicada Shell on the counter.

"Is there a problem?" Chen Beiwu asked.

“No, Senior Brother Chen, I’ll calculate your contribution points right now,” Ma Dongmei replied quickly.

Good heavens, they killed two Foundation Establishment demon beasts in just one trip outside the sect, one of which was even a late Foundation Establishment demon beast.

Such impressive achievements are comparable to those of a true disciple of a sect, far beyond what Senior Brother Chen, a cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, could accomplish.

Yes, that's right. In Ma Dongmei's eyes, who was unaware of the secrets of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, Chen Zi'ang's aura at this moment was no different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If she wasn't mistaken, Senior Brother Chen had probably asked for a lot of help in order to complete the mission, and might even have asked for a true disciple.

Fortunately, I was cautious and always treated Senior Brother Chen with courtesy, never being impolite or offensive.

Ma Dongmei's mind raced, and her smile toward Chen Beiwu became even more respectful.

Each generation of the sect has only one hundred true disciples, all of whom are promising candidates for forming a Golden Core.

The fact that she was able to get a true disciple of the sect to help her complete the mission shows how extensive Chen Zi'ang's connections are; she is definitely not someone that a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator like herself could afford to offend.

“Senior Brother Chen, there are a total of six thousand contribution points here,” Ma Dongmei said.

"Could you please exchange this black veiled fish for sect contribution points as well, Junior Sister Ma?" Chen Beiwu took out his spirit beast pouch.

Ma Dongmei took the spirit beast bag and scanned it with her divine sense: "The purchase price of the Fishing Hall is four thousand contribution points per beast, which is too low."

At this point, she paused slightly and suggested in a low voice, "Senior Brother Chen, I have a distant relative who is currently buying black gill fish, offering 5,000 contribution points per fish."

"Senior brother, could you do me the honor of selling me this black wrasse?"

“Okay.” Chen Beiwu nodded, without refusing.

He had already met his sect contribution point target, so he naturally didn't mind reselling the black gauze fish at a high price.

Seeing that the contribution points in the identity jade slip had surged to 12300, Chen Beiwu nodded in satisfaction.

He is now only 2700 contribution points away from exchanging for the Heavenly Evolution Reincarnation Technique.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Beiwu did not accept any more missions. Instead, he left the mission hall, boarded a flying boat, and headed towards the sect cultivator trading market.

……

Shangshui Island originally belonged to the Huanhai lineage and was not particularly prominent among the six lineages and seventy-two islands of the sect.

Later, the three generations of the sect's founders used their great magical power to move the island in order to set up the sect's protective formation, the "Eight Desolate Water Mirror Dragon Subduing Formation".

Shangshui Island thus became a transportation hub connecting the seventy-two islands, attracting numerous disciples.

Over time, some sect elders noticed the business opportunity and specially opened a market on Shangshui Island to meet the trading needs of both inner and outer sect disciples.

As a result, the Shangshui Island Market became a well-known secondhand trading market among all the disciples of the sect, where disciples set up stalls to sell all sorts of strange and unusual items.

"Buy three premium miasma-avoiding talismans and get one free, buy ten and get three free!"

"Freshly made First-Grade Rejuvenation Pills, three hundred low-grade spirit stones for one, five hundred low-grade spirit stones for two. Fellow cultivators, don't miss out!"

"This freshly picked Mist Spirit Mushroom is 500 years old. I'm not selling it, I'm only trading it for a high-grade second-tier flying sword!"

Chen Beiwu's gaze swept across the jade plaques with inscriptions on them at the market stalls, and he was somewhat surprised.

Unlike the Southern Wilderness Market he had visited before, these disciples selling goods at their stalls were all genuine, including some rare, second-tier high-grade spiritual herbs that were limited to purchase through the Immortal Alliance's official website. If he bought these extremely rare second-tier spiritual herbs now, he could definitely resell them for a high price within the Immortal Alliance.

Seeing the purchase requirements noted on the jade token, Chen Beiwu, who desperately needed contribution points, shook his head and did not make a purchase. Instead, he went to the market management office and spent one hundred spirit stones to rent a stall in a better location.

Because the sect explicitly forbids the private trading of contribution points, Chen Beiwu deliberately drew a circle around the edge of the jade tablet to indicate that the items sold at this stall could only be traded using contribution points. He then took out a variety of spiritual artifacts and miscellaneous items from his storage bag.

'Good heavens, when did the Mirror Moon main branch gain another ruthless individual!'

Seeing Chen Beiwu neatly displaying the Soul-Capturing Nails, Wind-Breaking Spirit Bows, Soul-Binding Locks, Hidden Jade Pendants, Jade Bottle Magic Artifacts, Zhou Tian Xing Yan Lu, and Thousand Hammer Forging Treasure Techniques, the inner disciples who had set up stalls nearby all twitched.

Having set up stalls at the Shangshui Island trading market for many years, they had long since developed a keen eye, easily discerning what items were of dubious origin, obtained through murder and robbery, and what items were of legitimate origin, acquired through normal transactions.

Since this person can sell so many spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques, it means that more than one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators have died at his hands.

Ignoring the stares of the surrounding stall owners, Chen Beiwu picked up the Zhou Tianxing Record and began to study it.

2700 contribution points is neither too many nor too few.

It would be best if these items could be sold at a stall to make up for the difference.

If all else fails, he can resell it to a sect, but the price will be driven down to a very low level, and he won't get many contribution points in return.

In particular, the incomplete Thousand Hammers Forging Treasure Technique and the Zhou Tian Star Evolution Record, which had already been collected by the sect's Transmission Hall.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators came and went at Chen Beiwu's stall, but very few were willing to stop.

The reason is simple: contribution points are hard to come by, and few cultivators are willing to spend contribution points to buy things. They mostly use low-grade spirit stones to buy things, unless they encounter something that is necessary for cultivation.

"Can this Wind-Breaking Spirit Bow be purchased with spirit stones? I can offer five thousand spirit stones."

A cultivator dressed in a gray Taoist robe picked up the spirit bow and asked a question.

In the Southern Wilderness, the price of a second-grade low-level spiritual weapon is generally between one thousand and four thousand spirit stones, a mid-grade spiritual weapon is between five thousand and eight thousand, and a high-grade spiritual weapon is between nine thousand and tens of thousands.

The Wind-Breaking Spirit Bow is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual weapon. It doesn't have the mainstream of spiritual weapons like swords, sabers, spears, or cauldrons, and it also requires corresponding archery techniques to use. His offer of five thousand spirit stones isn't too much of a bargain.

Chen Beiwu raised his eyelids: "1,500 contribution points."

"One thousand contribution points, consider it making friends." The newcomer smiled and confidently stated his identity: "I am a mid-grade second-tier alchemist. If you need to refine second-tier spirit pills in the future, I can help you."

"1,500 contribution points, no bargaining." Chen Beiwu shook his head.

He didn't even care about the favor of a second-level alchemist.

Inside the Xuanji Hall, the exchange price for a mid-grade second-tier spirit bow ranges from three thousand to four or five thousand contribution points.

In other words, the Windbreaker Spirit Bow has a single purpose and too low power; it is only used to tame beasts and render their prey powerless to resist. Otherwise, the price he set would not be so low.

Upon hearing this, the newcomer's expression stiffened slightly. He carefully examined Chen Beiwu and took a step back: "Alright, I will post a bounty for a second-tier spirit bow in the Mission Hall."

Chen Beiwu nodded and continued reading.

After a while, noticing that the atmosphere around him had suddenly become strange, Chen Beiwu put down the Zhou Tianxing Record and looked to his right.

A cluster of orange-gold, shrouded in crimson ominous aura, stood out conspicuously in the crowd.
