Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 7 Jinbaozhai

Located on a bustling street, Jinbaozhai could only have such a large business in such a prime location without a powerful backer.

As the largest and most diverse sales channel for wooden magic swords in the market, Jinbaozhai belongs to the Fenghuang Sect, which is famous for forging spirit wood swords. The so-called "Huang" means spirit wood magic sword.

In the cultivation world, spiritual wood grows extremely fast and is very tough, making it one of the most important materials for forging wood-based magic swords.

However, Xu Changjun did not want to enter Fenghuangmen's territory unless necessary. The three major forces of Yundong Lake were on the surface to get along harmoniously, but in reality, they had many conflicts in secret.

Xu Changjun is a direct descendant of the Xu family. Entering the Fenghuang Gate's hall would easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives and cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, with the Xu family's resources, they are not lacking in secret methods of blood refining, but each has its own emphasis. The Fenghuang Sect is good at crafting wooden swords, which is the type that Xu Changjun needs most right now. So after thinking about it, he still came here.

After all, nothing is more important than improving one's own cultivation.

Fenghuang Sect mainly cultivates spirit trees and trades magic swords, so they must have matching spirit tree blood refining secret techniques. We'll see what price the other party asks for, and whether they're asking for an exorbitant amount.

As Xu Changqing entered Jinbaozhai, the sales assistant quickly came up to him and asked respectfully.

"My lord, what do you need? To be honest, Jinbaozhai has the most complete selection of goods in the entire Hanjiang City, I..."

Before the waiter could finish speaking, a tall young man walked up from behind. He spotted Xu Changjun at a glance, paused for a moment, then smiled and walked over.

"I'll take care of this guest; you may leave."

The young man gave the waiter a few instructions, then led Xu Changjun to sit down and ordered tea to be served.

Tea cups were served, and the guests took their seats on either side. Only then did the young man ask in a low voice.

"May I ask which young master of the Xu family you are?"

Xu Changjun was somewhat surprised. Although he had some reputation in the Xu family, he was not someone who would deliberately target him. How did the other party recognize him?

Of course, although he thought this way, he wouldn't show it on the surface.

Xu Changjun smiled slightly but did not answer. He simply picked up his teacup, blew on the tea leaves, took a sip, and then slowly put the teacup down with an ambiguous expression on his face.

Throughout the entire exchange, his expression remained largely unchanged, preventing the young man opposite him from discerning too many flaws.

"Haha, everyone who comes in is a guest. I was just being nosy. Sir, what brings you to our shop?"

Seeing that Xu Changjun did not answer, the young man was not angry. He then changed his tone and continued.

He acted like a businessman, but he also had feelings for Xu Changjun. The Xu family of Yunlu was the local tyrant of Yundong Lake, and even their Fenghuang Sect had to rely on them all these years.

Xu Changjun himself may not be aware of it, but since he took over Jinbaozhai, all the important clients and the portraits of the direct descendants of various families and sects have been archived here.

The direct descendants of large families like the Xu family have prospered for a long time and have a large population, so few people have ever kept count.

However, Xu Changjun happened to be somewhat famous among his peers in the family. After all, his mutated lightning and fire spiritual root and his above-average spiritual power perception were considered top-notch even among those large families, making it hard for people not to remember him.

"My name is Zhao Yuxuan, the manager of Jinbaozhai shop. If you want anything, just tell me directly, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Hearing him say that, Xu Changjun nodded, his expression softening slightly.

After all, no matter what, the other party still has an attitude. As for whether the deal will be completed, it depends on whether you have enough preparations.

"I have long heard that Fenghuang Sect transplants and cultivates various spiritual trees and is skilled in crafting spiritual wood swords. Not long ago, I happened to obtain a rare spiritual tree and wanted to refine it again, but I have not been able to find a suitable method for refining it. Today, I have come to your esteemed shop and hope you will be kind enough to teach me."

"So, you wish to refine the Blood Refining Secret Technique for the Spirit Wood Sword..."

Upon hearing Xu Changjun speak, Zhao Yuxuan immediately understood.

This Blood Refining Secret Technique is not a particularly precious cultivation method. It has a huge following throughout the vast Immortal Realm and is categorized into various types, resulting in a variety of methods with different adaptability conditions.

For example, the Fenghuang Sect is famous for its spirit wood crafting techniques. Their spirit wood sword blood refining method is quite unique. Apart from a few special methods, they don't keep their peripheral techniques to themselves. Instead, they can be traded if the price is right.

It just requires signing a spiritual contract and cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

When blood flows into a spirit tree, it can promote its growth. When forging a magic sword, the connection through blood can nurture the wooden sword, making it even more powerful.

"Brother Zhao, there's no need to worry. This transaction will be conducted according to the rules. A spiritual contract will be signed, and it will only be used by me. I am willing to settle the payment with spirit stones. Please do me a favor, Brother Zhao."

Seeing Zhao Yuxuan's attitude, Xu Changjun saw an opportunity and quickly added.

If the other party doesn't give him any chance at all, he has no choice but to think of another way.

But now it seems that the Fenghuang Sect doesn't value the Blood Refining Secret Technique too much; it's entirely tradable, though the price needs to be negotiated.

Just as Xu Changjun was closely watching the opposite side, Zhao Yuxuan seemed to pause slightly before sighing.

"Very well, I am destined to meet Brother Xu. This Blood Refining Secret Technique is not really a secret technique. I will trade with Brother Xu, but we will sign a spiritual contract and I will not go back on my word. It is fine to pass it on to others."

"Brother Xu, please wait here for a moment."

After saying that, Zhao Yuxuan stood up and walked towards the backyard.

"Brother Zhao, please proceed."

Xu Changjun also stood up to see him off. Looking in the direction Zhao Yuxuan left, a smile appeared on his face, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Something's not quite right about Zhao Yuxuan either.

……

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the curtain at the back was lifted, and Zhao Yuxuan walked out with a big smile on his face.

"Brother Xu, you have fulfilled your mission."

As they spoke, Zhao Yuxuan handed a page of a book to Xu Changjun.

With just one glance, Xu Changjun confirmed that the scroll in his hand was indeed the Blood Refining Secret Technique. However, it was sealed, and only a few paragraphs summarizing the outline could be seen at the beginning. The rest could not be deciphered without a unique secret seal.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think?!"

Zhao Yuxuan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Zhao. This is exactly what I need. May I ask the price?"

Xu Changjun didn't focus all his attention on the Blood Refining Secret Technique in his hand, but looked at the other party and asked.

Zhao Yuxuan laughed and quoted a price to Xu Changjun.

"So expensive?"

Xu Changjun frowned. The other party was asking for forty low-grade spirit stones, which was indeed not cheap.
