Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 50: He escaped unscathed and made a fortune!

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators in the courtyard turned their gazes toward Lin Chen.

After a moment's thought, Lin Chen quoted a price.

"My Five Thunder Seeds are produced in limited quantities and are somewhat special... They do not require spiritual energy and can be used even by ordinary people."

"Therefore, the price is 80 spirit stones each!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's price, everyone hesitated slightly.

Eighty spirit stones is really not cheap.

After all, even ordinary mid-grade magic artifacts only sell for this price.

While the Five Thunderbolts are very powerful, they are ultimately just consumables... Using just one is equivalent to throwing away eighty spirit stones!

However, Lin Chen's statement that it could be used without spiritual energy piqued their interest.

As independent cultivators, they inevitably engage in magical duels on a daily basis. If they were to use a Five Thunderbolt at the critical moment of exhausting their spiritual energy...

Wouldn't that turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory?

Although the price was high, Lin Chen's Five Thunderbolts still made them envious.

Soon, the woman with the alluring figure made the first bid.

She chuckled twice, her tone full of allure.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed a master of weapon crafting... If I were to buy several of these Five Thunder Seeds, could you perhaps offer me a discount?"

After listening, Lin Chen thought for a moment and said:

"I don't have many Five Thunder Coins left. After deducting the one I just demonstrated, I only have nine left."

"If you sell four at once, I can round it down for you... I'll only charge you three hundred spirit stones."

Three hundred spirit stones, four Five Thunder Coins... that's almost equivalent to having four extra trump cards!

The alluring woman had just sold the damaged artifact and had some spare cash, so she nodded and said:

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"

With that, she flicked her finger, and a bag containing spirit stones floated into the air.

Lin Chen didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he used his true essence to open the bag, counted the spirit stones inside, and put them into his storage bag.

"Hehe, you are indeed very cautious in your actions..." the alluring woman said with a sweet laugh.

"When you're out and about, you always have to be careful."

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged as he handed the Five Thunder Seeds to the woman, reminding her:

"Do not trigger the switch on these Five Thunderbolts, or you will be injured by the explosion, and I will not be responsible..."

After selling four Five Thunder Coins, Lin Chen only had five left.

The other cultivators present also knew that the opportunity was limited, and they all wanted to buy it.

Soon, Lin Chen sold all five of his remaining Five Thunder Coins.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, the boldest get the richest... This transaction alone earned them seven hundred spirit stones!"

Lin Chen was secretly pleased. The money he earned from selling the Five Thunder Seeds was enough for him to cultivate for the next few months.

After selling all the Five Thunder Coins, Lin Chen had achieved his goal and, not wanting to linger, prepared to turn around and leave.

Those cultivators in the courtyard who failed to purchase the Five Thunder Seeds all showed expressions of regret.

So someone asked:

"Master Wu Leizi, when will you next sell Wu Leizi?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen paused slightly.

"These Five Thunder Seeds are quite difficult to refine, so I may have to wait another month or two before coming back..."

After saying that, Lin Chen turned and left.

When Lin Chen returned to the front hall of the restaurant, the person who had guided him from the market stopped him.

"Hehe, your Five Thunderbolts are indeed extremely powerful, but you will have to compensate me for destroying the artificial hill in my building."

Having said that, he held up three fingers and said with a smile:

"Master Wu Leizi, thank you for the three spirit stones!"

Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly, but he still took out three spirit stones and handed them over.

……

After Lin Chen left, the cultivators in the courtyard prepared to leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my deal is done. Please allow me to take my leave now..." The alluring woman turned and left the restaurant.

Aside from the alluring woman, Fu Daoren and the others also took their leave and departed from the trading courtyard.

……

After finishing the transaction, Lin Chen did not return directly to the inn, but instead strolled around the market for a while.

A moment later, it began to darken.

Lin Chen also sensed that something was wrong.

"As expected, this group's origins are suspicious; they're probably planning to rob us?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly; he could vaguely sense some prying eyes.

It must have been someone from the trade fair who wanted to find out his background, so they secretly followed him.

They might even seize the treasure or force Lin Chen to reveal the method of refining the Five Thunder Seeds if they find him easy to bully!

"Tsk tsk, people's hearts are indeed unpredictable... One must be especially careful when dealing with rogue cultivators!"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

During his time in Danfeng, his master Han Jihai and his fellow disciples treated him kindly.

Fortunately, Lin Chen never forgot the cruelty of the cultivation world.

When I first entered the world of cultivation, the scenes of robbing cultivators and merchant caravans and attempting to massacre villages were still vivid in my mind.

"Hmph, but since you want to see my true colors... then I'll show you!"

Lin Chen pretended not to know what was behind him, turned around and entered the alley, where he changed into the robes of an inner disciple of the Changchun Sect.

However, he was not wearing the Danfeng disciple's uniform, but rather the inner sect disciple's uniform.

The watchful eyes behind him remained undiminished, but Lin Chen showed no fear.

After leaving the market, Lin Chen headed straight for Changchun Mountain.

After Lin Chen climbed the mountain, five or six figures who had been following him also revealed themselves.

Among them were the alluring woman and the Taoist priest.

"You all came together to see what this person is all about?" the alluring woman said with a light laugh.

After hearing this, Master Fu snorted coldly and said:

"That person only has a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level... yet he possesses such a precious treasure as the Five Thunder Seed. I naturally wish to investigate him!"

The other rogue cultivators who were following Lin Chen remained silent, clearly sharing the same thoughts.

"However, this kid is actually an inner disciple of Changchun Mountain? In that case, it's impossible for him to make a move..." Fu Daoren's tone seemed somewhat regretful.

In his view, a mere mid-stage Qi Refining realm was nothing more than a piece of cake.

If one obtains the Five Thunder Seeds Secret Formula, it could be sold for at least a thousand spirit stones.

Upon hearing Fu Daoren's words, the alluring woman sneered:

"You old talisman maker, you're really getting senile!"

"A disciple of the Changchun Sect, capable of refining a treasure like the Five Thunder Seed... do you really think he's only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Master Fu was immediately taken aback. "You mean...?"

"Hehe, in my opinion... that person might be a Foundation Establishment elder from the Changchun Sect!"

"The one who can produce the Five Thunder Seeds... is most likely an elder of the Weapon Peak."

"This transaction down the mountain is probably because the Five Thunder Child's magical treasures are too insidious to sell openly..."

Upon hearing this, Master Fu was immediately filled with fear, and all thoughts of robbing him vanished.

Although he was also close to reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, if he encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a true lineage, he would be so afraid of dying that he wouldn't even know how he died!

With this in mind, Master Fu dared not linger and quickly left the market.

The other rogue cultivators also quickly left, fearing they might be killed by the Foundation Establishment expert.

The alluring woman, however, took a deep look behind Changchun Mountain and murmured:

"Which elder from Changchun Sect will descend the mountain? Interesting..."

"Fortunately, the Five Thunder Seeds cannot be mass-produced, so they can't affect the overall situation..."

After saying that, the woman turned and left.

……

On the other side, Lin Chen climbed all the way to the top of Changchun Mountain.

After confirming that the rogue cultivators behind him dared not follow, he found a secluded place to change his appearance and clothing, restoring his original form.

"Tsk tsk, black market transactions are indeed dangerous... Luckily, I had a backup plan."

Lin Chen was still somewhat shaken.

He suspected that among those rogue cultivators, there were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators mixed in.

"Sigh, if they really do come after me... I'll have no choice but to kill them..." Lin Chen murmured.
