Chapter 14: Market 2

Yun Shang had been busy in the space for a while and was already sweating profusely. She felt very uncomfortable because of the stickiness on her body. She took off her clothes and jumped into the spiritual spring to clean herself.

During the cleaning process, Yun Shang looked down at the spirit stone lying quietly at the bottom of the spirit spring.

After more than half a year, the spirit stones in the spirit spring have been cleansed by the spiritual energy in the spirit spring, and most of them have become high-quality spirit stones. A small part of the spirit stones have even become darker in color and have more spiritual energy.

Yun Shang took out one of these spirit stones and put it in the palm of her hand to take a look. It was obviously a top-quality spirit stone.

  The color of the spirit stone will become deeper as the grade of the spirit stone increases. The top-grade spirit stone is smaller than the top-grade spirit stone, and the color is deeper, and the spiritual energy inside is naturally richer;

Yun Shang fished up all the top-grade spirit stones at the bottom of the spiritual spring. With a sweep of her spiritual sense, she discovered that there were more than three hundred top-grade spirit stones.

Yun Shang was delighted. Three hundred top-grade spirit stones, when converted into top-grade spirit stones, would be equivalent to thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones. The ratio of spirit stones was 1:100.

Yun Shang came out of the spiritual spring, cast a drying spell on herself, and then changed into a clean pink high-quality robe.

She put more than 300 pieces of top-grade spirit stones into the wooden house, and then she flashed out of the space directly;

when she returned to the yard, Yun Shang first hid her cultivation level to the early third level of Qi training.

Now her actual cultivation level is the late fifth level of Qi training, which means she is already a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training. She plans to find a place to improve her combat experience. It is not good to practice in seclusion without actual combat experience

Yun Shang, who had read many cultivation novel, understood that seclusion alone was far from enough and that actual combat was necessary to improve her combat power.

Although there were some spiritual herbs in the space, there were no living creatures, so Yun Shang planned to add some things to the space.

The mountain behind Yun Shang's yard can just meet Yun Shang's needs.

Besides, the new spells and basic swordsmanship she had learned also needed to be used and honed many times in actual combat.

 Yun Shang left the space, closed the formation in the yard and went to the market first.

Yun Shang bought a lot of jade boxes and jade bottles, as well as quite a few wine jars. Although she had not yet found the recipe for brewing spiritual wine, this did not stop her from preparing first. She planned to go to Treasure Pavilion to ask.

Yun Shang walked around and saw a large shop. There was a large plaque right above the shop with the words "Treasure Pavilion" written on it.

As the name suggests, Treasure Pavilion is a place where many treasures are gathered. The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion have obvious directions.

You can find whatever you need in the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion has everything. There is nothing you can't find, only you can't think of it, but some expensive weapons require a lot of price.

Of course, some rare treasures cannot be found in Treasure Pavilion, otherwise the owner of Treasure Pavilion would be a very strange person. Yun Shang, who has different face and body shape, stepped into the Treasure Pavilion.

"What do you need, young lady?"

Yun Shang turned around when she heard the voice and saw a middle-aged man covered in jewels. "It's okay, I'm just strolling around. I guess you're the one in charge." Yun Shang smiled playfully.

"Miss, you have good eyesight. I am the manager."

Yun Shang couldn't help but twitch her lips. It was a bit unreasonable to say that he was not in charge wearing such a luxurious outfit, but Yun Shang didn't say it out loud.

"Manager, do you have any defensive robes and magical weapons with better defensive capabilities?"

(Here weapons are divided into magic weapons, treasure weapons, spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and immortal weapons. Above the immortal weapons are the legendary artifacts, and each level is divided into lower, middle, and upper levels. And magic weapons are divided into growth magic weapons and ordinary types.)

"Miss, you need to buy some defensive magic tools. I have a few that I can recommend."

"The first item is a magic hairpin. This magic hairpin is called Lingyun Hairpin. It is a mid-grade magic tool. It is small and exquisite in appearance and is quite popular among female monks. It has good sales. Some male monks often buy it to please female monks. It can be used until the later stages of Qi training, but it is also quite expensive, requiring 1,500 low-grade spirit stones."

"This is really expensive." Yun Shang couldn't help but sigh. 

The market price of an ordinary mid-grade defensive magic weapon is generally around 1000-1200 low-grade spirit stones. Looking at it this way, it is a bit expensive.

The price is a bit inflated, probably because some cultivators are competing for it and driving it up.

Although Yun Shang has a lot of money, she is not stupid. She doesn't want to be taken advantage of and decisively passes the offer.

The manager was also considerate. Seeing that Yun Shang had no interest, he went on to introduce the next item.

"The second item is a ribbon, which is a low-grade magic weapon and is relatively cheap, costing only 850 low-grade spirit stones. However, its defensive effect is not particularly good. It can only resist some minor injuries, and it will backfire on some more serious injuries. It is not recommended to buy it. "

Yun Shang nodded and signaled the manager to continue the introduction. "The third item is a medium-grade defensive magic weapon without any attributes, called the Golden Bell Cover, which is the first place to avoid disasters. When you are in danger, you can use your spiritual power to hide yourself under this golden bell. This golden bell requires 1,100 low-grade spiritual stones."

"The fourth item is a top-grade defensive magical weapon that is both offensive and defensive, a small golden sword. This sword can be transformed into two forms, sword and shield, according to the owner's wishes, but the better the function, the higher the price. This sword requires 2,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"For robes with defensive functions is a high-quality robe defensive robes, requires 2,500 low-grade spirit stones." 

To be honest, Yun Shang prefers the small sword. Although it is more expensive, it has both offensive and defensive functions and is indeed a good item. 

"Manager, I want that small golden sword and defensive robes." Yun Shang also needs some other things.

Yun Shang said to the manager, "Prepare 200 more fire talismans, 50 vine seeds, 100 teleportation talismans, and 300 speed-increasing talismans for me."

"Okay, I'll pack it up for you right away, miss." The steward's face was full of smiles when he heard Yun Shang's words.

She then remember that she has different purpose, she directly ask: "Manager, I wonder if you have some recipes for brewing spirit wine here."

The steward at Treasure Pavilion was slightly surprised when he heard Yun Shang's words. Could it be that this girl was planning to brew her own spirit wine? However, despite being surprised, the teller still answered Yun Shang's question in time.

"Miss, in the world of cultivation, the recipe for brewing spirit wine is as precious as the recipe of the alchemist. The recipes of high-level spirit wine are generally in the hands of major families and sects. We currently only have some recipes for low-level spirit wine. I wonder if I should get them for you to see." The steward said to Yun Shang in a gentle tone.

Yun Shang also knew that spiritual wine was a kind of spiritual resource in the world of cultivation, because in addition to spiritual fruits, brewing spiritual wine also required some other spiritual herbs and medicines to match it.

Therefore, spiritual wine generally has certain effects. Drinking good spiritual wine can not only replenish the spiritual power of the monks, but also has the effect of healing wounds. It is more popular among monks than elixirs.

Taking too many pills will cause pill poisoning, but spirit wine will not. Unfortunately, brewing spirit wine consumes too many materials and is far less cost-effective than making pills.

But even so, some big families and sects will not easily spread the recipe.

Yun Shang was silent for a moment after hearing what the steward said, then nodded slightly and said to the steward: "Then please bring it to me for a look."

After a while, the steward handed over a jade slip and said to Yun Shang, "Little sister, this jade slip contains the recipes for spirit wine below the fifth level. There are restrictions in the jade slip, so you can only view the first few recipes."

Yun Shang nodded to show that she understood. She raised her hand to take the jade slip and probed into it with her spiritual sense.

As the steward said, one could only check the recipes for the first few spiritual wines, such as Qingling Wine, Lingyuan Wine, and spiritual wine brewed with Yuxu Fruit as the main ingredient. Drinking them could help cultivators break through the bottleneck of their cultivation.

It can even directly replace the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it has no side effects, making it especially suitable for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Yun Shang was delighted when she saw it. Whether it was the Yuxu Fruit or the other auxiliary spiritual herbs and medicines in it, she just happened to have them all in her space, so she decided to buy it.

After withdrawing her consciousness from the jade slip, Yun Shang looked up at the steward and asked, "Sister, how much is this jade slip for?"

She was in a good mood, but her appearance remained calm, making it hard to tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied.

The steward saw that Yun Shang had no expression on her face after reading the jade slip, and he couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he didn't dare to make a random offer and told Yun Shang a reasonable price.

"Three thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Yun Shang didn't know the exact price of the recipe for the spiritual wine, but since she had walked around the entire market and didn't see any other ones, she knew it wouldn't be cheap, so she didn't bargain too much.

Steward raised his hand to remove the restriction in the jade slip and handed the jade slip in storage bag with the previous things.

"Miss, I'll pack these things for you in a storage bag." The manager put the bag in a small storage bag and handed it to Yun Shang.

"Miss, a total of 7,950 low-grade spirit stones are required."

Yun Shang took out 1 high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag, take the return then left.

This storage bag is not expensive and can be bought with only 2 low-grade spirit stones. Because the amount Yun Shang spent was too large, the manager gave her a small storage bag for free.

She originally planned to pay with top-grade spirit stones. After all, she didn't have many high-grade spirit stones, which Yun Shang had put into the spatial spirit spring and turned into top-grade spirit stones.

But then she thought about her current low level of cultivation, and if she used high-grade spirit stones, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

So Yun Shang finally changed to using high-grade spirit stones to pay. If she wasn't a disciple of the Lingxu Sect, with her current Qi training stage, she probably wouldn't dare to use even high-grade spirit stones casually.
