Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Returning to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower
"Phoenix Cry Body? My luck is pretty good. Very well, since you’ve said so, I agree. When the time comes that I need it, I’ll come to you. But before then, you must wait."
Zhang Chi was stunned. He hadn’t expected this to be her request.
In fact, he had been so busy with cultivation recently that he hadn’t really given much thought to this matter.
He also hadn’t expected that Lan Xuan, who had deliberately tried to seduce him before, was still a virgin.
Of course, it wasn’t surprising that she had done so back then to save her own life.
Besides, achieving Foundation Establishment wouldn’t be very difficult for him.
Even the Foundation Establishment Pill was something he had to acquire, as it contained essential ingredients for the transformation of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Therefore, he really didn’t care about her Primordial Yin.
But he couldn’t help but take her Phoenix Cry Body seriously.
He had heard of this special physique before.
Those with this physique had extremely fast cultivation speeds, but only on the condition that they remained virgins.
Once their cultivation was high enough, if one could obtain their Primordial Yin, it would be of immense help in condensing a Golden Core or even breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
He didn’t need it now, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t have a use for it in the future.
This was an unexpected windfall and a long-term investment.
"Rest assured, Master. Xuan’Er will always belong to you. I won’t get close to anyone else, not even other women!"
Lan Xuan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Then, she took out a Spirit Contract on the spot, imprinted some vows onto it, and signed it with a drop of her blood.
Zhang Chi didn’t refuse.
This was indeed more secure. With this Spirit Contract in place, not even her friends, family, or elders could force her to do anything in the future.
"By the way, Master, although Xuan’Er can’t lose her Primordial Yin right now, that doesn’t mean I can’t serve you in other ways. It’s just... this is my first time, so if my performance is not up to par, please forgive me, Master," Lan Xuan then added with a slight smile, her face blushing.
An hour later, Lan Xuan finally left.
Zhang Chi, feeling refreshed and invigorated, then took out the Demon Snake Spine and placed it into the portable Eye of the Spirit Spring he carried with him.
Soon, the water in the Eye of the Spirit Spring began to change, suffused with faint traces of Demonic Qi and a strange power.
Zhang Chi slapped his Spirit Beast Bag, and the Four-legged Strange Snakes, radiating an eager aura, shot out like bolts of lightning toward the water.
After drinking their fill, they all fell into a deep slumber.
’Not bad. It really works. When they wake up, they should be able to break through to the Tier One Late Stage.’
Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, Zhang Chi put away the Four-legged Snakes, the Spiritual Spring, the spine, and the Array.
Before that, Zhang Chi had also specifically collected some of the Demonized Spring Water.
Unfortunately, he discovered that the water would quickly lose its effect, reverting to simply containing some Spiritual Qi.
Apparently, the Demonized Spring Water had to be prepared and used on the spot.
Otherwise, the Spirit Control Sect would have had no need to send that Foundation Establishment Elder to Yuan South specifically carrying these two Spiritual Objects.
But Zhang Chi didn’t mind.
This was just a small experiment. In any case, with both Spiritual Objects in his possession, he could just secretly use the Demon Snake Spine once in a while.
SWISH...
Afterward, Zhang Chi piloted his Middle Grade Flying Boat toward White Cloud Marketplace, a hundred li away.
White Cloud Marketplace was located at the peak of a high mountain called White Cloud Mountain and was one of the many Marketplaces under the jurisdiction of the Cangwu Sect.
The Marketplace had a Tier Two Spiritual Vein, was guarded by a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse, and was lined with countless shops, bustling with a constant stream of Cultivators.
However, compared to the Sect’s internal marketplaces, the backgrounds of the Cultivators here were clearly more diverse and complex.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Lan Xuan to successfully hide here for a month.
"I want to sell some Tier Two Spiritual Pills. Take me to your shopkeeper!"
Upon arriving, Zhang Chi went directly to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower branch and stated his purpose to a young female clerk who had actively approached him.
"Of course, Senior, please follow me."
Hearing this, the young clerk immediately led Zhang Chi to a room for receiving distinguished guests with great enthusiasm and respect, and served him Spirit Tea.
"I am Guan Ruxin, the shopkeeper of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower’s White Cloud Square branch. A pleasure to meet you, fellow Daoist. I heard you have Tier Two Elixirs for sale. Is this true?"
Then, a beautiful female cultivator who looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old appeared. She had a gentle temperament and was exquisitely dressed. With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the clerk and asked her question, full of anticipation.
"See for yourself."
Zhang Chi slapped his Storage Bag and immediately took out the Jade Spirit Pills.
’Tier Two Elixirs are more effective, but since I’m currently only in the Qi Refining Stage, I can’t fully refine them. Therefore, they’re less practical for me than Tier One Discarded Pills, and selling them is undoubtedly the best choice.’
Even Gathering Essence Pills were not of much use to him.
After all, among the Tier One Discarded Pills from the Earth Fire Hall, there were many wasted Gathering Essence Pills.
"Not bad, they are indeed Jade Spirit Pills, and there’s no issue with the quality. How about I give you thirty-six Spirit Stones for each?"
Guan Ruxin took the Jade Bottle containing the pills, opened it, sniffed, and inspected its contents, nodding in satisfaction.
At the same time, her estimation of Zhang Chi rose even higher.
’It’s rare for ordinary Cultivators to sell elixirs like these, unless... he’s a Tier Two Alchemist.’
"Forty per pill. If you can do that, they’re yours. I also have some other things to sell that I guarantee will be profitable for you," Zhang Chi said, frowning slightly as he unceremoniously raised the price.
"More things? Alright, forty it is," Guan Ruxin agreed readily.
"Very good. I have one hundred Gathering Essence Pills, one Foundation Establishment Level Blood Spirit Pill, three Small Realm-Breaking Pills, and three Tier One Peak Demon Beast corpses. What are they worth to you?"
Zhang Chi nodded slightly and immediately took out more elixirs, as well as the corpse of the Foundation Establishment Elder’s Spirit Pet.
’I didn’t actually get this many Gathering Essence Pills from my spoils of war; the extra ones are all from my own recent refining.’
"A Foundation Establishment Level Blood Spirit Pill?"
Guan Ruxin was startled. She looked at Zhang Chi with new eyes, now with a hint of awe.
’After all, anyone who can produce a Foundation Establishment Level Blood Spirit Pill is by no means an ordinary person.’
She even suspected that Zhang Chi was a Demonic Foundation Establishment cultivator.
’But I’m just a businesswoman. None of that has anything to do with me.’
"This Blood Spirit Pill is worth two thousand Spirit Stones. The Gathering Essence Pills are five Spirit Stones each. The price for Small Realm-Breaking Pills has been fluctuating recently, so I can give you one thousand for all three. The Demon Beasts are one thousand eight hundred in total. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
This time, she didn’t dare to lowball the prices she offered.
"Deal. I have these things as well. See what you can offer. If the price is right, I’ll sell them all to you."
Zhang Chi nodded slightly, and with another wave of his hand, a number of Spirit Talismans, Ores, Medicinal Materials, and other miscellaneous items appeared before him.
In addition, he even took out the Fire Copper Flying Sword, the Low Grade Flying Boat, and the White Broken Bone Shield.
However, he did not take out the seven Magical Artifacts he had obtained from the Xie Family’s junior, nor the Tier One Peak Vajra Talisman and Wind Blade Talisman, the Tier Two Breaking Charm, the Demon Pills, or the Demonized Beast Materials.
’After all, this place is too close to the Cangwu Sect. If I sell these items, it’s highly likely the Sect and the Xie Family will notice.’
"This Small Shield... not bad, but it’s a pity it’s broken. I’ll give you two hundred for it. The Flying Sword and Flying Boat together for two hundred. The rest of the items for one thousand two hundred."
When Guan Ruxin saw the Small Shield, her pupils couldn’t help but shrink. She examined it carefully and, after some more consideration, offered a price.
"The total for everything comes to seven thousand five hundred and eighty. Let’s round it up to seven thousand six hundred. Also, since your transaction total is large enough, our shop would like to gift you an unregistered, entry-level VIP status."
"With this VIP status, you can enjoy a two percent discount on purchases and receive better prices when selling items. This current transaction is included, so your total comes to seven thousand eight hundred. Are you satisfied with that, fellow Daoist?"
Guan Ruxin quickly calculated the grand total and took out a black, palm-sized VIP Token.
"By the way, would you like to purchase anything while you’re here, fellow Daoist? As long as you’re willing to spend the Spirit Stones, we have everything you could want!" she then added, swaying her body slightly, her gaze turning somewhat fervent.
