Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 96 If we all attack at once, you might not be able to kill us all!

"A top-grade magical artifact?!"

Upon hearing that there was no Five Thunder Seed, these rogue cultivators were initially somewhat disappointed.

Upon hearing the reputation of the superior magical artifact, they were all shaken and turned to look at it.

"Master, may I take a look at these two top-grade magic artifacts?" The speaker was a regular customer, Fu Daoren.

"Can!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly and handed over the two magical artifacts.

The Taoist priest took the magic artifact and examined it carefully, and the rogue cultivators in the courtyard also gathered around.

Two high-grade magical artifacts, a knife and a sword.

It was mass-produced by the world of high martial arts.

The Taoist priest first carefully touched the material and weight of the magic weapon, and then channeled his true essence into it.

A moment later, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Truly a top-grade magical artifact! Moreover, its craftsmanship is exquisite, and it has never been damaged..."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding independent cultivators also wanted to handle the item to verify it, confirming that it was indeed a high-grade magic artifact.

Lin Chen smiled slightly upon seeing this.

All eight hundred magical artifacts were personally inspected by him, and were naturally confirmed to be of superior quality.

In the world of cultivation, the criteria for judging high-grade magical artifacts are actually quite simple.

Firstly, the materials are of superior quality and the workmanship is exquisite.

Needless to say, the magical artifacts made from cold iron stone and mass-produced by instruments are of excellent quality, far superior to those of ordinary artifact craftsmen in the cultivation world.

Secondly, there is the utilization rate of magical artifacts for magical power and true essence.

The higher the level of the magic weapon, the higher the utilization rate of true essence.

However, in reality, the utilization rate of true essence in high-grade magic artifacts used by Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators is not actually very high.

Since the high-level martial arts world broke through the spiritual energy barrier, although the utilization rate of true essence is not very high, it has reached the standard of a high-grade magic weapon.

Therefore, this is a genuine, high-quality ritual implement.

After verifying its authenticity, Master Fu looked at the superior-grade magic weapon in his hand and was reluctant to let go.

"Master Wu Leizi, how much do you sell these top-grade magic artifacts for?"

Lin Chen did not rush to answer after hearing this, but first scanned the twenty or thirty rogue cultivators in the courtyard.

He then slowly spoke, "These high-grade magic artifacts are all things I made as practice in previous years, and have never been used... How about three hundred spirit stones for each one?"

"Three hundred spirit stones...that's a fair price!"

"It's not just fair, it's even a bargain! At an auction, it wouldn't be unusual to sell for four hundred spirit stones!"

The group of independent cultivators in the courtyard nodded in agreement; they could afford to pay three hundred spirit stones.

Compared to other independent cultivators who only cared about the price, Fu Daoren was clearly thinking more deeply.

"Hiss, a high-grade magic weapon is just a practice piece? Master Wu Leizi is at least a second-tier weapon refiner!"

While surprised, Master Fu took the lead and said:

"Master, I have six hundred spirit stones here... How about you sell me these two magical artifacts?"

After saying that, he directly sent a bag of spirit stones over from a distance, as if afraid that Lin Chen would not agree.

Before Lin Chen could answer, the surrounding rogue cultivators objected.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, how dare you! There are two of these top-grade magic artifacts, why should they only be sold to you?"

"Yes, we want to buy them too! It's not like we can't afford three hundred spirit stones, right?"

"Once this opportunity is gone, it'll be gone forever!"

Seeing that they were about to miss out on these treasures and magical artifacts, the surrounding rogue cultivators all turned fierce.

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became tense.

The Taoist priest was also startled and hurriedly took out a few Five Thunder Coins and held them in his hand to intimidate.

High-grade magical artifacts require 300 contribution points to exchange within the Changchun Sect.

For these independent cultivators, these are rare magical artifacts and treasures.

With this superior magic weapon, although it may not be possible for someone in the late stage of Qi Refining to fight against someone in the Foundation Establishment stage, it will certainly be easy to gain an advantage among those of the same realm.

Therefore, these independent cultivators were unwilling to give up easily.

Seeing the tension rising, Lin Chen quickly interrupted:

"Don't worry, everyone!"

"As I said, this magical artifact was forged by me a few years ago, therefore... I have quite a few in stock!"

After saying that, Lin Chen flicked his finger, and dozens of beams of light shot out from the storage bag.

Twenty or thirty high-grade magical artifacts of various shapes floated in the air, some were knives, some were swords, some were spears, some were halberds...

At the same time, Lin Chen released the aura concealment technique of the Wood Concealment Technique.

The pressure from the Foundation Establishment cultivator enveloped the entire courtyard.

"Everyone, if you have any magic weapons you like, you can buy them directly. They cost 300 spirit stones each."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, seemingly unafraid of these rogue cultivators coming to compete for it.

Twenty or thirty high-quality magical artifacts floated in the air at the same time.

Without a doubt, similar expressions appeared in the eyes of these rogue cultivators: astonishment, longing, greed...

However, not a single rogue cultivator dared to step forward and snatch it.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator who can casually craft so many high-grade magic artifacts is no ordinary person.

"So, just what level of cultivation does this Master Wu Leizi possess?"

"Early Foundation Establishment stage? That seems unlikely!"

"If we were all in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and we, the twenty-odd Qi Refining cultivators, attacked all at once, he might not be able to kill us all in one go..."

"If it were a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he might not be able to kill all twenty-odd Qi Refining cultivators at once. By the time his true essence is exhausted... wait, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't even have enough true essence to kill twenty-odd Qi Refining cultivators, right?"

These were the thoughts of the group of independent cultivators in the courtyard, but none of them dared to speak up and probe.

After a long silence, the first rogue cultivator spoke up.

"Master, I need a high-grade magic weapon flying sword! Here are three hundred spirit stones..."

After saying that, he wrapped a bag of spirit stones in his true essence and brought it over.

After Lin Chen scanned the area briefly with his divine sense, a flying sword landed in front of the rogue cultivator.

Seeing this, the other rogue cultivators no longer hesitated and rushed to speak:

"Master, I need a long spear!"

"Master, I need a throwing knife..."

"I practice the Sword Control Technique, and I need three flying swords!"

As bags of spirit stones fell into his hands, Lin Chen continuously handed out magical artifacts to the various rogue cultivators.

In no time at all, all twenty-odd flying swords were sold.

Not every rogue cultivator present needed this superior-grade magic artifact.

However, some independent cultivators may not need just one.

The twenty-eight high-grade magic artifacts brought Lin Chen an income of eight thousand four hundred spirit stones.

As for the cost of these magical artifacts, some cold iron stones... cost less than four hundred spirit stones.

This is undoubtedly a huge profit!

After obtaining the spirit stones, Lin Chen did not linger.

He glanced at the group of independent cultivators, pondering that today's sales were nearing saturation.

So he said, "Everyone, I will be back in the next few days to sell some high-grade magic artifacts. Those who didn't bring enough spirit stones today can come back later..."

After saying that, Lin Chen turned and left the courtyard.

After Lin Chen left, the rogue cultivators in the courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, one of the rogue cultivators couldn't help but ask:

"Everyone, who exactly is this Master Wu Lei Zi? How can he produce so many high-grade magical artifacts all at once?"

"You don't know this? He's the Weapon Master of the Changchun Sect! In my opinion, he's probably already at the late Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Hiss... If I had attacked just now, wouldn't I be a dead man by now?"

After each of them uttered a few words of reflection, the independent cultivators left one after another.

……

On the other side, after the transaction was completed, Lin Chen headed towards Changchun Mountain as usual.

Once they reached the mountain gate, they restored the place to its original state when no one was paying attention.

"I earned over eight thousand spirit stones in one transaction... It was risky, but worth it."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

This transaction involved a huge sum of money, and there was indeed a slight risk involved.

However, Lin Chen was over 98% confident that the transaction would be successful.

"The independent cultivators in the black market don't know my background, so they dare not act rashly..."

"At the same time, the independent cultivators fight their own battles and have their own agendas, making it almost impossible for them to stand together on one side."

Through months of transactions, Lin Chen had a clear understanding of the thoughts of these rogue cultivators.

They are humble and fearful towards those in power; towards those weaker than them, they bully and even plunder.

This is also why Lin Chen displayed his Foundation Establishment cultivation as a deterrent.

"However, if those rogue cultivators really didn't know their place just now, I'll have no choice but to kill a few as an example to deter others..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

With his current strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to fight his way in and out of these rogue cultivators seven times over.

His life-saving weapons and equipment were completely useless...

"Eight thousand spirit stones for one transaction... Although the amount is not small, it is still far from the one hundred thousand spirit stones required to upgrade the Devouring Spirit Root."

"Next, we can only see how much purchasing power those independent cultivators actually have..."

So, for the next few days, Lin Chen went to the black market to trade every day.

Because the different groups of independent cultivators arrive each day, the magical artifacts sell extremely well.

In just three days, Lin Chen sold another sixty high-grade magic artifacts.

At this point, Lin Chen had nearly 80,000 spirit stones in his possession.

By the fourth day, most of the necessary supplies had already been purchased.

With the market saturated, Lin Chen only sold a few flying swords.

"Sigh, it seems this business of independent cultivators in the black market is coming to an end..."

Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless, as he hadn't yet made up for the shortfall of 100,000 spirit stones.

However, just as he was about to return to the mountain gate, he suddenly heard a voice transmission.

"Master Wu Leizi, please come to the back courtyard for a chat with me..."

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly.

"The owner of Hua Man Lou... this is quite a big client."

With this in mind, Lin Chen placed a few high-explosive bombs in an easily accessible spot and then entered the backyard.

In the courtyard, Xie Huaying brewed a pot of tea, seemingly having waited for a long time.

"Would the master be willing to drink with me?"

Xie Huaying sat on the stone bench, poured Lin Chen a cup of tea, and did not hide her charm in her every move.

Lin Chen pursed his lips, sat down in front of her, but did not drink the tea.

He got straight to the point:

"Thank you, Master. Are you looking to purchase some high-quality magical artifacts?"

Xie Huaying was used to Lin Chen's straightforwardness, so she didn't hide anything and nodded:

"This humble woman does indeed wish to purchase a batch of magical artifacts..."

How much do you want?

"Hmm... Could you provide sixty high-grade magic weapon flying swords and forty high-grade magic weapon flying knives, Master?"

This wasn't Lin Chen's first time doing business.

With a flick of his sleeve, he revealed a hundred top-grade magical artifacts that filled the courtyard.

Xie Huaying was even more surprised when she saw this, but she only nodded slightly and carefully examined each flying sword.

A moment later, Xie Huaying handed over a storage bag.

"I present 30,000 spirit stones. Would you like to count them, Master?"

Lin Chen scanned the spirit stones with his divine sense and put them all into his storage bag.

Without further hesitation, he cupped his hands and said:

"Transaction complete. I shall take my leave now."

After saying that, Lin Chen turned and walked away from the inn with steady steps...

After Lin Chen left, the guard who had reached the peak of Qi Refining came out.

"My lord, why didn't you intervene earlier?"

"That's thirty thousand spirit stones..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Huaying glanced at him and snorted coldly:

"That ignorant fool... if I had made a move... he'd probably be dead by now!"

The guard, who had reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation, was immediately taken aback upon hearing this.

"My lord, even if he's in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he still wouldn't be a match for you, would he?"

Xie Huaying's eyes grew even colder as she pointed at the hundred magical artifacts.

"One hundred high-grade magical artifacts, almost identical in style and appearance... Do you know what that means?"

"These magical artifacts are made of ordinary cold iron stone, and the materials are not top-notch."

"But ironically, despite its exquisite craftsmanship, superb skill, and being made by the same artisan... it lacks only the spirit of a true craftsman!"

The guard, whose cultivation was at its peak, didn't understand the implied meaning.

He only hummed, "My lord, it lacks craftsmanship... so what?"

"Hmph, don't you understand?"

"This means that these high-grade magical artifacts were simply forged casually by him, or perhaps he didn't even put any effort into them!"

"Just imagine, what rank of weapon refiner would someone possess such skill in crafting weapons!"

As she said this, Xie Huaying's eyes showed a hint of lingering fear.

"In my opinion, he's a third-tier weapon refiner!"

"As for his identity... he's probably either the peak master of the Weapon Peak or a reclusive Core Formation expert from the Changchun Sect!"
