Chapter 246 - 246 243 Meeting Daoist Zuo, Xiu Xin Yang Xing
Chapter 246: Chapter 243: Meeting Daoist Zuo, Xiu Xin Yang Xing Chapter 246: Chapter 243: Meeting Daoist Zuo, Xiu Xin Yang Xing This Sky Battle Halberd’s components alone were costly, and it went without saying that the quality of the materials was exceptional.
Clearly, this Divine Weapon was not only powerful, but its potential far surpassed that of ordinary divine weapons.
Qin Feng gently shook the big spear in his hand, which was as thick as a goose egg and just slightly taller than he was, giving it a somewhat stubby appearance.
However, the blade was both wide and long, incomparably sharp, and the crescent blades on either side were also much wider than those on ordinary war halberds, resembling two enormous curved moons that shimmered with a sharp light, indicating at a glance that this Divine Weapon was a true instrument of slaughter.
“Since Pavilion Master Wang has treated this junior in such a way, I shall not stand on ceremony,”
Qin Feng nodded to Wang Qingshi in gratitude.
At the same time, he was also secretly relieved.
He was relieved that he had previously obtained a good number of treasures from Liu Xuanling.
…
When he had first entered the market, he had sold some Spiritual Objects in a few shops that he temporarily did not need; otherwise, he would not have had enough Spirit Stones to purchase this Sky Battle Halberd.
Originally, after he had helped the Swallowing Sky Toad merge with Bloodline Divine Power, he had a few ten thousand Spirit Stones left.
However, during his return to his family, he had exchanged most of them for various materials, planning to help his father and the Old Clan Chief quickly advance their cultivation and also left many common materials for his family to nurture the younger generation.
Otherwise, as a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, returning home empty-handed when he was capable of giving back would have been truly disgraceful.
“I would like this.”
Liu Wuxiang picked up the dark poison thorn and said, “Senior Wang, may I ask how much this Spiritual Artifact costs?”
To be honest, he wanted all the Spiritual Artifacts in the wooden box.However, firstly, he did not have enough Spirit Stones to buy them, and secondly, he could clearly see that Wang Qingshi was deliberately befriending Qin Feng, so he did not want to take too much advantage at this time, as these favors would all be counted towards Senior Brother Qin.
“Oh, not expensive, not expensive; I’ll also sell it to you at cost, just six thousand Spirit Stones.
This Spiritual Artifact, aside from using a poisonous stinger from a Demon Late Stage poison bee, also includes one hundred twenty-eight Tail-end poison stingers from Foundation Establishment Realm poison bees, and nine hundred six poison needles from a Qi Refinement Late Stage poison bee.
Collecting these materials was mainly labor-intensive, everything else was manageable,”
With that said, he looked at the White Bone Hammer in Xue Baoshu’s hand, which had a fierce and terrifying origin.
“This bone hammer has a notable origin; the beast skull is from an Exotic Beast brought from the Ancient Battlefield by someone.
It’s the skull of a Zheng Beast.
However, because the Zheng Beast died too long ago and retained insufficient strength, it was not made into a Magical Treasure.
But if in the future, you earnestly nourish and refine it, there is absolutely a possibility for advancement.
This Zheng Beast skull initially cost us five thousand Spirit Stones, and adding on other Artifact Refining Material costs, eight thousand will suffice.”
He intended not to make even a single Spirit Stone in profit, even foregoing the basic labor cost of refining these Spiritual Artifacts and Divine Weapons.
“Thank you very much.”
Xue Baoshu promptly took out the Spirit Stones from her Storage Bag and handed them to an assistant nearby.
Seeing Liu Wuxiang’s hesitant expression, Qin Feng knew he must not have many Spirit Stones on him, so he took out twenty-six thousand Spirit Stones from himself and said, “These are for myself and Junior Brother Liu.
We thank Senior this time, and if there is a chance in the future, we shall reciprocate.”
Of course, he mentioned this casually, and Wang Qingshi wouldn’t take it too seriously.
Just a few Spiritual Artifacts and Divine Weapons, not enough to make a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect owe someone a huge favor.
Liu Wuxiang felt grateful but didn’t say much more at this point.
“Now that our Sect is about to embark on an expedition, we have other matters to attend to and shall not linger here any longer.”
Moments later, Qin Feng stowed the Sky Battle Halberd into his Qiankun Bag and bid farewell to Wang Qingshi.
Wang Qingshi nodded in understanding, “Then I wish you young friends a triumphant victory and success in your journey.
The battlefield is perilous, so please take great care.”
“Thank you for your auspicious words, senior.”
The group bowed and then turned to leave one after another.
Once they were outside, although there was still a significant number of people, no one was specifically waiting to meet them, allowing Qin Feng to silently breathe a sigh of relief.
Exiting the Divine Weapon Pavilion, they stepped onto the bustling street outside.
Xue Baoshu wrapped the chain connecting to the hammer around her several times before hanging the ferocious and terrifying White Bone Beast Head Hammer at her waist, looking exceptionally fierce.
“Today, I owe a lot to Junior Brother Qin.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have obtained this hammer, not to mention I would have also spent a lot more unjustly.”
Xue Baoshu laughed, “Earlier, they wanted 16,000 Spirit Stones for the Chain Hammer I was looking at.
Now, with this better hammer, I only had to pay for the materials.
I owe Junior Brother for this favor.
Should we meet on the battlefield, we can look out for each other.”
“That is how it should be.”
Qin Feng nodded, “Being disciples from the same sect, we should naturally support each other if we meet on the battlefield.”
“Good.”
Xue Baoshu nodded and then said, “I have some other urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t be going with you.”
“Sister, please take care.”
The two waved goodbye.
Xue Baoshu waved freely and artfully maneuvered through the crowd with her White Bone Hammer swaying at her waist.
“Brother.”
Liu Wuxiang handed Qin Feng a Storage Bag, saying, “I appreciate it, brother.
To quickly reach Foundation Establishment, I had spent quite a bit recently.
Now, I only have just under five thousand Spirit Stones.
I’ll give you this much for now, and I’ll repay the rest when I obtain more resources.”
Qin Feng laughed heartily, “We are brothers, why such formality?
I am not in a rush to use the Spirit Stones.
Keep them for now to buy some emergency Elixir Pills, as you might need them on the battlefield.”
“Please accept it, brother.
I can’t just take your items for nothing.
As for the Elixir Pills, my master has prepared many for me, so I won’t be short.”
Liu Wuxiang then pushed the Storage Bag back.
Qin Feng nodded, “If that is the case, I won’t be polite with you.”
Liu Wuxiang flashed a smile, “You don’t have to be.
In fact, I should thank you for helping me obtain this Spiritual Artifact.”
As he spoke, Liu Wuxiang took the dark Iron Thorn in his hand and shook it slightly, extending it to over three feet long.
He leaned it on the ground, and with a light sound, without seeming to use much force, the sharp spike pierced into the bluestone beneath their feet.
“Not only can this treasure be used as a raid-type Spiritual Artifact capable of splitting into thousands of Poison Thorns suitable for group battles, but it can also serve as a close combat weapon, truly a multifunctional treasure.
Thanks to elder brother, I snagged a bargain today.
Otherwise, given the current prices, such a formidable Spiritual Artifact would definitely cost as much as a Magical Treasure typically would.”
Qin Feng, seeing his satisfied expression, also felt quite pleased in his heart.
With such a powerful weapon, their chances of survival on the Otherworld Battlefield would be significantly higher.
Feeling joyful, the two did not head directly back to the mountain gate but instead began strolling through the market.
In the current market, it was not just the original shops and Loose Cultivators conducting business.
Wealthy cultivators from various sects, sensing an opportunity, had also set up stalls along the roadside, selling Spiritual Objects from various regions.
These cultivators from various sects truly had some unique Spiritual Objects that dazzled the eye.
Unfortunately, any Spiritual Objects useful in warfare were now immensely expensive.
They didn’t want to be suckers, so they simply looked around to broaden their horizons and satisfy their curiosity.
The most unusual Spiritual Objects were those found at the stall of disciples from the Ghost Controlling Sect, who had come from the Eastern Domain.
These individuals, outwardly dressed in Daoist robes, looked virtuous but displayed items for sale that contained many odd and curious things to attract people’s attention.
Of course, there were many legitimate items too, such as Ghost Exorcism Talismans, Corpse Suppressing Talismans, Evil Exorcism Talismans, and other such Spirit Talismans, as well as Daoist essentials like horsetail whisks, Peach Wood Swords, Eight Trigrams Robes, and Money Swords.
However, there were some other items that seemed quite bizarre.
For example, well-refined Corpse Puppets, well-trained Little Ghosts, and meticulously crafted Ghost Nourishing Objects, many of which were very rare in the Southern Domain or in the Beast Taming Sect’s area.
A few ill-mannered cultivators from the Ghost Controlling Sect, for reasons unknown, had deliberately raised several exceptionally beautiful female ghosts to attract cultivators to do business, while they casually chatted nearby.
Thus, their stall often attracted throngs of cultivators from various regions who stopped to watch, with some curious ones purchasing some unusual objects to take back.
For instance, a sly-looking individual purchased a Five Ghosts Transporting Spirit Altar, though it was unclear what he intended to do with it.
Others thought that the Little Ghosts refined by the Ghost Controlling Sect’s cultivators, skilled in Invisibility Spells, might be useful for reconnaissance in the Otherworld Battlefield, suggesting possibly effective results, so many also bought their items.
“Oh, Daoist Fellow Qin?”
Just as they were about to stop and watch how a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect demonstrated the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique at a Ghost Controlling Sect disciple’s stall, suddenly someone called out.
Qin Feng turned toward the voice and saw a young Taoist standing a few steps behind the stall-keeping disciple, with another young Taoist beside him.
“Hmm?
Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin.”
Upon seeing the young Taoist, Qin Feng immediately recognized him.
This was the Ghost Controlling Sect young Taoist, Xiu Xin, whom he had first met while doing a task near an Ancient Battlefield in a small mountain village.
He remembered that back then, this young Taoist had collected a Ghost Lady in a wedding dress.
Xiu Xin greeted his sectmate briefly, then walked over to Qin Feng.
“Two years have not seen, not only has Daoist Fellow Qin advanced rapidly, but he has also become a True Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, truly enviable to others.”
Their Ghost Controlling Sect had been in the Southern Domain for two months already, and during that time, they naturally learned about the current situation of the Beast Taming Sect, at least recognizing the names of a few True Disciples from the Beast Taming Sect.
Initially, he wasn’t sure if Qin Feng was one of them, since when he first met Qin Feng, Qin Feng had only recently entered the late stage of Qi Refinement, and with tens of thousands of Outer Disciples in the Beast Taming Sect, having the same name was quite normal.
However, just now, at the first glance, he was sure that this Qin Feng was the newly advanced Inner Sect Disciple Qin Feng of the Beast Taming Sect.
It was his uniquely remarkable aura among Foundation Establishment Cultivators that gave him away.
“Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin is too polite.”
Qin Feng, observing the reserved and nimble aura of the young Taoist, sincerely complimented, “Daoist Fellow’s progress is also not slow!”
He knew his own circumstances; if not for the fortuitous acquisition of the Demon Refining Pot, it would have been impossible for him to achieve his current feats given his qualifications in such a short time.
And here was Xiu Xin, similar in age, whose cultivation might not be inferior to his own, which was why he was even more amazed.
It seemed this young Taoist had also encountered not a few serendipitous opportunities over the years, and probably held a certain status within the Ghost Controlling Sect considering his cultivated demeanor.
After chatting briefly, Xiu Xin gestured to another very young Taoist beside him and smiled, “This is my Junior Brother Yang Xing.
If we meet on the Otherworld Battlefield later, I hope you can take care of him a bit.”
“Where do you get such words?”
Qin Feng’s smile was as warm as a spring breeze, though he was inwardly surprised.
He noticed that this Daoist named Yang Xing’s cultivation and demeanor seemed not inferior to Xiu Xin’s.
That was very impressive.
It seemed the Ghost Controlling Sect really knew how to train its disciples.
He then introduced his own Junior Brother to them.
“This is my Junior Brother Liu Wuxiang.”
Liu Wuxiang bowed respectfully to them.
“Met Daoist Fellow Liu.”
Xiu Xin and Yang Xing returned the bow in unison, showing no hint of neglect despite Liu Wuxiang’s slightly inferior cultivation.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were indeed all quite capable.
That’s what the two young Taoists thought.
Their keen senses had already detected a subtle pressure emanating from Liu Wuxiang.
Although Liu Wuxiang’s Dao cultivation was not as high as theirs, that subtle aura was not something to be underestimated.
“This is hardly a place for an extensive conversation.
It is regrettable to meet old friends without wine to accompany our talk.”
Qin Feng smiled, “Why don’t we find a quieter place for our chat?”
“Indeed!”
The two young Taoists readily agreed.
They waved to the stall-keeping disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect, then followed Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang to a nearby restaurant.
That was a business owned by the Beast Taming Sect.
Qin Feng figured that with his status as a True Disciple, he probably wouldn’t be greatly overcharged.
