Chapter 96 Remnant Treasure

After a quick rest, Gu Qing led Yang Xi to browse around Qingdi City, selecting some useful items.

There are shops in Qingdi City that specialize in selling items for cultivating immortality.

These shops are all concentrated in one market area. The shops with better storefronts and higher foot traffic are all owned by major cultivation sects and merchant guilds.

Some small shops and storefronts in more remote locations are run by independent cultivators or Qi Refining Realm cultivators who have no hope of Foundation Establishment.

Some of these people are in the waste recycling business.

After wandering around several streets, Gu Qing finally found a shop that specialized in buying and selling second-hand alchemy furnaces.

Compared to the well-developed recycling industry chain in the Immortal Kingdom, which can disassemble and extract useful spiritual materials from broken magical treasures and artifacts, the second-hand recycling industry in this world is still at the level of trading large second-hand items.

"Ancient Tripod Pavilion!"

Gu Qing looked up at the sign above the shop. This Gu Ding Ge had two floors. When Gu Qing walked into the shop, he saw that it was not big. The first floor was only a little over 100 square meters.

The boss was wearing a gray cloth jacket, with stains of cinnabar and furnace ash on his cuffs.

He squatted at the shop entrance, squinting at an old, cracked alchemy furnace in his hand, tapping it lightly with his fingertips to discern its quality.

This person was at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness.

Seeing Gu Qing and Yang Xi enter, the shopkeeper smiled and nodded, saying, "Please feel free to choose. All the magical artifacts and treasures we buy back are usable, and we offer a one-year warranty."

"If the alchemy furnace is damaged within one year, you can come to our store for a full refund."

Gu Qing nodded in agreement.

His gaze swept over the second-hand alchemy furnaces in the shop. Which of these furnaces had been used by alchemy masters for many years?

The cheat code for your own equipment slots allows you to learn from the magical artifacts and items used by others.

However, the prerequisite is that this ritual implement or object must have been used by someone for many years, and a lot of effort must have been spent on the object, leaving a lot of traces of use, in order to obtain relevant experience and knowledge from the object.

"Brother Gu, come here quickly."

"Here is a top-grade magic artifact alchemy furnace that is 90% new."

Inside the Ancient Tripod Pavilion, Yang Xi wandered around in front of the counter for a while and suddenly discovered a treasure.

Gu Qing looked over upon hearing this.

Although the owner of the place had refurbished the alchemy furnace in front of Yang Xi and washed away the flame marks, Gu Qing could still tell that the previous owner of the furnace must not have used it for long.

Even when a magical artifact is uninfused with spiritual power and has no owner, the mental power condensed by Gu Qing's cultivation of the [Reflecting Heaven Sword Manual] can penetrate the surface material of the artifact and observe its internal structure.

The durability of a ritual implement depends to a greater extent on the integrity of its internal spiritual seals.

Some magical artifacts may look complete, but their internal spiritual seals are close to collapsing. Such artifacts will soon become unusable, and may even fail at crucial moments.

of course.

If the object is damaged or even cracked, this is considered a physical defect, which goes without saying.

the other side.

When the owner of the Ancient Cauldron Pavilion saw the cauldron that Yang Xi had chosen, his eyes lit up. He put down the cracked alchemy furnace in his hand, went to the counter, and praised her with a smile, "Fairy, you have a good eye."

"The previous owner of this alchemy furnace was the owner of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in Qingdi City. He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not long ago, news of the alchemy gathering from the Qingdi Sword Sect spread, and he insisted on going to join in the fun."

"As a result, after buying the alchemy furnace and starting to refine pills, nine out of ten pills exploded."

"After struggling for a month, I gave up on it."

"As it happens, I have some connections with the owner of Baibaozhai, so I took back this top-grade magic artifact, the alchemy furnace."

"It can be said that—"

"This top-grade magic artifact alchemy furnace is practically brand new, yet it's being sold at a second-hand price, making it extremely cost-effective."

"Buying it is a sure win."

After hearing the boss's introduction, Yang Xi's breathing quickened slightly, and she became excited.

She was terrified that other people would suddenly appear and try to snatch the top-grade magic artifact, the alchemy furnace, from them.

"Brother Gu, what do you think of this top-grade magic artifact alchemy furnace?"

"The alchemy furnace is excellent."

"only----"

Gu Qing paused slightly halfway through her sentence.

The owner of Gu Ding Pavilion was somewhat puzzled, so he asked, "But what?"

"Could there be something wrong with this alchemy furnace?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with this alchemy furnace."

"But what I want is that alchemy furnace next to it—"

"beside?"

Yang Xi and the owner of Gu Ding Pavilion looked in the direction Gu Qing pointed and saw that the alchemy furnace next to them was also a top-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace, but there were already three visible cracks on the furnace.

"Fellow Daoist."

"Forgive my words, but although this alchemy furnace is still usable, its origin is somewhat complicated. It was brought out by several dragon hunters from a cave a thousand years ago."

"Even I can hardly guarantee that this alchemy furnace can be used for another year."

"If it comes to a critical moment, I'm afraid the losses will outweigh the gains."

"I hope you will reconsider, fellow Daoist—"

The owner of Gu Ding Pavilion wasn't lying to Gu Qing. He had bought this almost-ruined alchemy furnace at scrap price when he acquired it.

As for telling the truth, the intention was naturally to use sincerity to persuade Gu Qing to purchase other high-quality pill cauldrons.

pity----

The owner of Gu Ding Ge completely miscalculated. He had no idea that Gu Qing's method of recycling the residual value of second-hand alchemy furnaces was not for alchemy, but for copying alchemy techniques.

Such a top-grade magic artifact alchemy furnace, nearing the point of being scrapped, is exactly what Gu Qing needs.

Firstly, the owners of top-grade magic artifacts are of high status, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators use top-grade magic artifacts.

Secondly, the fact that the alchemy furnace is nearing the end of its life indicates that its previous owner used it for a considerable period of time.

"Let's choose this alchemy furnace; I think it's still usable."

"Alright then!"

The owner of Gu Ding Ge instantly lost interest, looking as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.

"Boss, wait a minute."

"Besides the magic artifact-grade used cauldrons, do you have any magic treasure-grade used cauldrons here?"

Seeing the boss turn to leave, Gu Qing immediately called out to him.

These mere magical artifacts cannot satisfy Gu Qing's appetite.

Gu Qing didn't have a chance to shop during the previous two mercenary trials, so he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by.

"magic weapon!!"

Upon hearing those two words, the owner of Gu Ding Ge paused, his throat feeling dry.

Normally, magical treasures are things that only Golden Core cultivators can afford.

The owner of Gu Ding Pavilion turned around and stared intently at Gu Qing, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you want to buy a second-hand magic weapon?"

"Yes."

"If you have any, I wouldn't mind buying one or two."

Gu Qing said calmly, without showing any particular desire to buy, so as not to let the other party raise the price on the spot.

"hiss""

The owner of Gu Ding Ge took a deep breath. So this was where the big business was!

"Please follow me, both of you."

"All the good stuff is on the second floor."

The shop owner closed the shop door first, then led Gu Qing and the other person upstairs.

There is no counter on the second floor.

There were only a few display stands, each displaying a few broken bronze vessels.

"That alchemy furnace—"

One of the alchemical furnaces has a bronze-colored body with a faint glow, three legs and two handles, and its patterns are simple and ancient.

A striking scorch mark snaked from the furnace opening to the furnace belly, resembling a twisted lightning bolt, with an eerie purple tinge at the edges.

Deep within the cracks, the remnants of spirituality could still be faintly seen pulsating.
