Chapter 682: Chapter 652: Picking Up the Leak _4
Lord Wanbao stroked his many-layered beard, then turned to the stall owner, "Fellow friend, one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, fair and square!"
"Yes, the fragment now belongs to the senior," the stall owner said with an expression of pain, but could only bow with folded hands.
Even though the rules of Li Gou Immortal City are strict, Yuan Ying True Monarchs cannot bully the weak under broad daylight, but what happens in secret is another matter.
If it had been a dispute between customers, he might have profited from their conflict, but now he dared not make any careless remarks or moves.
At this moment, Fang Xi had arrived at a corner of the marketplace.
The stalls nearby were mostly selling various kinds of freshly picked spirit herbs and medicines.
With one sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he stopped in front of a young girl’s stall.
"Senior, do you see anything you fancy?"
The girl was dressed in a beast skin outfit, with a thick braid, her hair black and shiny, and her large eyes seemed as if they could speak, exuding a wild charm.
Fang Xi’s gaze swept over the medicinal herbs and seeds of spiritual herbs on the stall and noticed a clay pot next to them.
This clay pot seemed ordinary, lacking spiritual energy, with only some blue-brown patterns on its surface, and filled with some rocks.
"What is this?"
Fang Xi looked at the clay pot with interest.
"This is an...artifact, I guess... that I found accidentally when digging for herbs..."
The girl replied uncertainly, "It cannot be refined with magic power, but if you put some rocks in it and wait for a while, they will turn into commoner’s gold and silver... That’s why I call it the ’Gold and Silver Pot’..."
For Immortal Cultivators, if it were a significant amount of gold, they could extract some materials for refining spiritual instruments from it.
A small amount of gold and silver items, however, would be of little value.
"Quite interesting... How much for this Gold and Silver Pot?"
Fang Xi’s Divine Thought scanned inch by inch and had already seen that there was a secret to this pot, and he couldn’t help but ask with a smile.
"This..."
The girl hesitated, "This item only has some cleverness to it, it’s really not worth any Spirit Stones..."
Fang Xi glanced at her and said with a smile, "I see your Cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, only a little away from the complete Qi Refining realm. How about... one Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Foundation Establishment Pill?"
The girl’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, senior, I’ll make the trade!"
For a Qi Refining Cultivator, a single Foundation Establishment Pill represents the hope of achieving Foundation Establishment!
It was only after visiting several worlds that Fang Xi realized that similar pill recipes to the ’Foundation Establishment Pill’ could be found everywhere, with slight variations in formulas, but the effects were nearly the same.
One can only say that though there are three thousand Daos, they all lead to the same destination. For a Qi Refining Cultivator, the Foundation Establishment Pill is the best Base-building Spiritual Object!
Those alchemists who study the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit of the Qi Refining Cultivators eventually develop pill recipes similar to the ’Foundation Establishment Pill’.
And for this girl, even though she knew this trade might be at a loss, only the benefits she could hold in her hands were truly hers.
If she kept the Gold and Silver Pot, she might only gain a bit of mundane gold and silver. But by acquiring the Foundation Establishment Pill, she could become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a lifespan of two hundred years!
"Good!"
Fang Xi nodded and handed over a jade bottle.
At the same time, he took the Gold and Silver Pot into his hands.
"Hold on..."
Just then, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.
But Fang Xi completely ignored it. With a flash of light in his hand, the Gold and Silver Pot disappeared.
"That pot, True Monarch wants it. I can offer you several Foundation Establishment Pills and pills that increase magic power. How about that?"
Lord Wanbao looked at Fang Xi with surprise in his eyes.
His ’Treasury Eye Skills’ had seen a treasure light brighter than the previous Spirit Communicating Treasure fragment.
Fang Xi frowned, "Before I made the deal with the stall owner, your approach was one thing... but to come now..."
"True Monarch truly enjoys collecting all sorts of rare treasures, so please sell it to me..."
Lord Wanbao said with a smile.
Fang Xi had no interest in babbling with this man. Seeing the crowd gathering, he especially didn’t want to show off and have his face slapped, becoming a spectacle for others.
After thinking for a moment, a string of black wooden and gold-threaded prayer beads appeared in his hands, which he slowly twisted.
Upon seeing this string of prayer beads, Lord Wanbao’s eyes bulged, his mouth gradually opened wide, his legs went soft, and he almost knelt down...
