Chapter 593: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand _1
After entering Star Fallen Square, Chen Mobai separated from Liang Jinggui.
“You two feel free to look around, and we can meet up later at the entrance,” he said to his two disciples. Even among master-disciple relationships in the Tianhe Realm, cultivators would instinctively maintain some distance.
So, when he said this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan nodded and separately headed towards stores that matched their spirit root attributes.
Chen Mobai assessed the ten shops standing in the middle of the street. The gathering was a small-scale one, primarily aimed at cultivators in the Qi Cultivating Realm. Thus, they mostly dealt with Rank-1 spiritual objects. Still, some Rank-2 items were also present to attract more substantial attention.
Chen Mobai was confident about the resources from the Tianhe Realm. After all, if they had been selected by the Star Heaven Commerce Guild and put on display, they must be top-notch spiritual objects.
He first stepped into a store marked by the color gold, where he saw translucent boxes flying mid-air, each holding golden spiritual objects radiating bright light.
No physical contact was needed to perceive their qualities by cultivators’ standards.
In the store’s center, two cultivators wearing the Star Heaven Commerce Guild attire greeted the crowd with smiles, surrounded by a group of cultivators from the Eastern Wilderness asking various questions.
When a cultivator wished to make a price offer, a member of the Star Heaven Commerce Guild would retrieve the floating box and guide the cultivator to a specially reserved area for more detailed discussions.
Pure Gold, Pure Iron, Lung Gold Qi, Five-Element Metal Stones, Thousand Pound Blade, Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, Gold Body Puppet Technique…
Chen Mobai glanced at every floating box and quickly processed the corresponding information displayed in his mind, seemingly a result of a potent binding spell.
However, the displayed information related to cultivation techniques only provided general descriptions and the highest attainable realm through cultivation.
The most interesting object for Chen Mobai was the “Lung Gold Qi.”
It was sublime spiritual energy condensed by cultivators specializing in metal attribute cultivation techniques. According to the linguistics in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was one of the Five Elements Essence Qi.
Surprisingly, something similar could also be found in the Tianhe Realm.
However, the Lung Gold Qi was commonly used to condense sword Qi and was especially suitable for cultivating the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.
A cultivator would need to commit many years to initiate Lung Gold Qi synthesis through the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique.
Therefore, the Star Heaven Commerce Guild specifically paired the Lung Gold Qi with the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique. If someone wished to purchase the item, they would have to bid on both items simultaneously.
Chen Mobai had a keen interest in Lung Gold Qi and thus signaled the cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild.
“Esteemed senior, please follow me.”
Chen Mobai did not hide his Foundation Establishment cultivator aura. He was already under special observation as soon as he entered the shop. Seeing his signal, a cultivator immediately brought down three floating boxes and invited him to a private booth for discussions.
“I am a bit interested in this Lung Gold Qi, so I will give a casual quotation,” said Chen Mobai.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators would usually synthesize this item themselves. Since Chen Mobai had stumbled upon it here, he conveniently set his bid at 100 Spirit Stones.
“Senior, this Thousand Pound Blade is also suitable for the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique; would you like to consider it as well?”
The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commerce Guild opened up the three transparent boxes, displaying the Lung Gold Qi, the Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique, and the Thousand Pound Blade, hoping for Chen Mobai’s approval.
However, Chen Mobai declined straight away. The metal attribute technique was not very useful to him, and the Thousand Pound Blade was merely a Rank-1 premium-grade magic artifact. He had a better option in the form of the Gold Jade Ax.
Besides Lung Gold Qi, Chen Mobai was also interested in a portion of Golden Light Sha and three taels of Geng Metal.
Both were Rank-2 spiritual objects. Even if they weren’t immediately useful, there was a chance they might come in handy in the future.
Chen Mobai considered for a moment and then bid 600 and 900 Spirit Stones, respectively.
Leaving the gold-colored store, Chen Mobai remembered that his younger cousin had recently been accepted into the Primordial Elemental Academy. He had yet to give her a gift. Given her remarkable Metal Spirit Root, he returned to the store and selected a vibrant Five-Element Metal Stone, bidding a price of 30 Spirit Stones.
The Five-Element Metal Stone was a material condensed from five different types of metals. It could be shaped into any form an artifact embryo required according to a cultivator’s divine sense. It was typically used for key parts of large-scale magical instruments.
It was somewhat alike the Ruyi Iron in the Immortal Cultivation world. However, the Five-Element Metal Stone could only be used for Rank-1 magic artifacts. Most of the time, it was simply sufficient for a lower-grade Rank-1, leading to a small number of buyers.
Chen Mobai’s bid of 30 Spirit Stones was quite high and basically guaranteed the purchase.
Next, he visited a shop marked by the color ‘wood.’ The shop had so many previously unheard-of tree seeds, grain seeds, flowers, and plants that Chen Mobai, who loved farming, couldn’t resist the temptation.
He chose seeds and saplings suitable for the climate and geomagnetic lines of Giant Tree Ridge and listed the prices for all of them.
The most precious items of this shop were a Rank-2 Green Lotus Seed and a piece of Rank-2 Pure Bamboo.
It was said that the Green Lotus Seed came from a Rank-3 lotus in East Yu Realm, and it had the potential to be nurtured into a Rank-3 artifact.
Meanwhile, the Pure Bamboo was a spiritual object from the Eastern Yi Sky Mulberry Valley. Reportedly, it could potentially exhibit a Rank-4 cultivation once it fully grows. It could refine the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Qi, which helps open the Purple Palace, boosts divine sense, and soothes the mind and spirit. Moreover, the bamboo section provided still had roots and thus could be re-cultivated to life.
Chen Mobai casually filled out a price of 300 Spirit Stones for both items.
After exploring the ‘water’ and ‘earth’ themed shops, Chen Mobai found Void Stones and a Rank-3 Mountain Suppression Stone in the ‘earth’ shop.
