Chapter 433 - 42: Farewell, True Monarch of Profound Control!
Hearing the news of Tier Four Spirit Wood, Zhou Xun raised an eyebrow, finally showing some change,
"Speak!"
"Yes!"
"One is a Tier Four Low-Grade Jade Wood Heart, and the other is a Tier Four Low-Grade Soul Shocking Wood!"
Zhou Xun was moved upon hearing this.
The Jade Wood Heart is the heartwood of the Tier Four Spirit Pine, extremely precious, with an illusion-breaking effect.
As for the Soul Shocking Wood, it is more common. The magical treasure "God-Beating Whip" recorded in Zhou Xun’s Spirit Wood True Technique requires this wood as the main material.
Of course, Zhou Xun’s Cyan Emperor Seal can also be refined using these two materials,
which would carry the effects of these two kinds of Spirit Wood.
Almost instantly, Zhou Xun decided to buy these two kinds of Spirit Wood, so he asked, "I wonder what the price of these two kinds of Spirit Wood is?"
The shopkeeper’s face lit up even more upon hearing Zhou Xun’s intent to purchase, and he hurriedly said:
"The Jade Wood Heart is priced at 1,200,000 Spirit Stones, while the Soul Shocking Wood requires 800,000 Spirit Stones."
"If the senior desires, I will fetch them for you immediately!"
He looked at Zhou Xun with anticipation.
Zhou Xun nodded slightly and said calmly:
"I want both of these treasures!"
The shopkeeper rejoiced at the words,
"Please wait here, senior. I will be back shortly!"
Saying so, the shopkeeper got up and left the elegant room.
Not long after, the shopkeeper returned with the treasures, holding a tray in his hands on which a Storage Bag was placed.
"Senior, here is your Thunder Crystal, along with the two kinds of Tier Four Spirit Wood."
With that, the middle-aged man placed the tray in front of Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun, having participated in such large-scale trade meetings before, naturally knew the rules.
He reached toward his waist with a slap. Streams of Spirit Light flew out, landing on the table in front of him.
They were piles of High-Grade Spirit Stones, forming a small hill.
"Here are 5.5 million Spirit Stones. Please verify, fellow cultivator!"
After speaking, Zhou Xun reached out to the Storage Bag beside him, his Divine Sense probing inside.
He immediately sensed the three treasures contained inside.
The pile of Thunder Crystals, which Zhou Xun carefully sensed, was precisely 120 pounds, no more, no less.
In addition, there were two vertical foot-long wooden boxes, with Tier Three Spirit-Sealing Talismans affixed on them.
Zhou Xun took them out.
Opening them, one box contained a palm-sized, spindly-shape heartwood looking like jade,
on the surface of which Spirit Charm circulated, exceptionally extraordinary!
Zhou Xun took out a Tier Three Low-Grade Illusion Talisman and activated it towards the heartwood!
With a puff,
the talisman had no effect, instantly exhausting all its power, and the Illusion Talisman had no effect either,
Seeing this, Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, it is indeed a Tier Four Low-Grade Jade Wood Star!"
Then he opened the other wooden box,
As soon as he opened it, a faint sandalwood scent wafted out,
Zhou Xun raised his eyes and saw a three-foot-long, fist-sized ancient bronze colored wooden branch, lying there quietly,
The surface of the wood branch had strange patterns growing in circles.
From the appearance, it was exactly the same as the recorded Soul Shocking Wood.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Xun extended a bit of Divine Sense to probe the surface of the Golden Soul Tomb.
"Sizzle"
The surface of the Soul Shocking Wood flickered with a glimmer, and Zhou Xun felt a loud bang in his mind, as if a Red Copper Bell was ringing in his head, shocking his Divine Soul!
Receiving this, Zhou Xun was delighted instead of frightened.
"Not bad, not bad, it is indeed Tier Four Soul Shocking Wood."
Zhou Xun laughed heartily, closed the two wooden boxes, and affixed the Sealing Spirit Talismans.
Unexpectedly obtaining two suitable Tier Four Spirit Woods so easily put Zhou Xun in a good mood,
In addition to the Tier Four Nourishing Spirit Wood he previously received from Old Demon Yulu, the materials needed to refine the Cyan Emperor Seal were only short of two.
And in the coming days, Luoyuan Immortal City will have exchange meetings and auction events especially for Core Formation cultivators,
"Perhaps, in this Luoyuan Immortal City, the remaining two materials would be fully collected!"
Zhou Xun thought to himself, glanced at the shopkeeper beside him, and asked:
"How about you, young friend, are the Spirit Stones adequate?"
"The quantity is exactly right, these treasures now belong to the senior!" The shopkeeper nodded eagerly, his eyes filled with unabated joy.
Over five million Spirit Stones, his commission alone was tens of thousands.
This encounter with Zhou Xun equaled his income for ten years.
Zhou Xun then stored all three treasures in his Storage Bag before leaving the Treasure Pavilion from the back door.
Regarding Niu Chong, Zhou Xun left a Communication Talisman and then departed.
Having spent such an amount at once, the alias Ning Zhuo naturally couldn’t be used again.
Afterward, Zhou Xun went to other shops in the city, except that he did not find suitable Spirit Wood, unfortunately.
Fortunately, he purchased a Tier Three Low-Grade Earth Attribute Demon Pill,
but the water attribute Demon Pill needed for the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp was taken first by someone else.
However, Zhou Xun was not in a hurry.
There was still more than half a month before the celebration of True Monarch Thunder Prison, yet so many High-Tier cultivators had gathered in Luoyuan Immortal City.
As the celebration time draws closer, more people will come,
and a mere Tier Three Water Attribute Demon Pill would naturally be easy to acquire.
So Zhou Xun found an inn, rented a Tier Three Low-Grade Cave Mansion, it is fortunate that he arrived early, or else there might not be any Tier Three Cave Mansions left.
In the evening, Zhou Xun was meditating and cultivating inside the Cave Mansion.
Though he had now cultivated to Middle-Stage Core Formation, daily cultivation could not be neglected.
At this time, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew in.
Zhou Xun took it down to check,
It turned out to be from a fellow cultivator from the same inn, inviting Zhou Xun to attend an exchange meeting, which was at Cave Mansion No. 27, six numbers away from Zhou Xun’s.
Zhou Xun naturally went happily.
When Zhou Xun arrived, there were already more than twenty Core Formation cultivators seated in the Cave Mansion’s reception hall, all fellow cultivators residing at the inn.
Before long, the exchange meeting began!
The first to speak was the host of the Cave Mansion, an elder with white hair and beard, in the Middle-Stage Core Formation.
After a few pleasantries, the elder took out a Tier Three Fire Source Crystal, hoping to exchange it for a Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir.
Unfortunately, as the cultivators’ cultivation levels increased, fewer Spiritual Objects or Elixirs could be used to enhance their cultivation, not having enough for themselves, let alone for exchange.
But the elder was lucky and successfully exchanged a bottle of Essence Pill.
After the elder, the cultivators one by one took out rare treasures to exchange, and it was soon Zhou Xun’s turn.
"200,000 Spirit Stones, to purchase a Tier Three Water Attribute Demon Pill!" This offer had indeed exceeded the market price by over fifty percent.
But for the wealthy Zhou Xun, it was of no concern.
With such a high offer, he quickly obtained one from a Female Cultivator in a blue palace skirt.
The exchange meeting ended shortly, and most people exchanged for treasures they were satisfied with, all rejoicing.
In the following days, Zhou Xun only stayed in the Cave Mansion cultivating or went out to attend small exchange meetings, unfortunately not finding suitable Cyan Emperor Seal materials,
There were plenty of Tier Four Spirit Woods; however, their quality was too ordinary.
As time went by, it was soon only three days until the celebration.
Representatives from various Sects had already arrived to witness the event.
One day, Zhou Xun was walking on the main road, heading to attend an exchange meeting, when suddenly there was a commotion behind him.
He saw a procession slowly approaching.
This procession was quite unique, composed of various rare Spirit Beasts, led by a black Mountain Lord!
Riding on its back was an elder, Zhou Xun’s eyes narrowed,
"True Monarch of Profound Control!"
