Chapter 739: Chapter 545: The Possibility of the Desert Sea and the Restaurant’s Opening (Double Chapter)
The Zhang Family’s magical artifact section is far superior to that of the Ye Family’s.
It is divided into five categories: attack, defense, speed, control, and special types.
Even the control and special types of artifacts are diverse.
Such as the Cyan Lamp, Qian Cauldron, Black Tower, Cyan Light Umbrella, and many other artifacts.
From this, it’s clear that Yong’an Pavilion’s artifact refining is indeed remarkable.
“Elder Ye, in addition to these artifacts, our Zhang Family also accepts custom crafting, as well as trading artifacts!”
“You can exchange damaged artifacts for complete ones!”
“Of course, only for downgrading trades.”
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng was even more surprised.
No wonder the Zhang Family is so famous; not only are they excellent at artifact refining, even their selling methods are extremely advanced.
Ye Jingcheng also noted this down, as this strategy could be applied to alchemy, such as exchanging pill formulas for spirit pills.
In Ye Jingcheng’s view, these are all viable options.
“Do you sell spirit materials here? Our Ye Family has been looking to develop artifact refining and wants to purchase some spirit materials!” Ye Jingcheng asked.
The cultivator wasn’t surprised, understanding that family clans differ from loose cultivators in their ability to develop in pill, artifact, and array talismans comprehensively.
Sometimes, one has to make choices.
In his opinion, Ye Jingcheng, being an alchemy master, can elevate the family’s artifact refining capabilities, ensuring at least three popular crafts. This will allow the Ye Family to rapidly develop within the Purple Mansion Clan.
“Of course we have!” The cultivator nodded.
Then he led Ye Jingcheng towards the courtyard.
“Elder Ye, the spirit materials are kept in a room in the back courtyard due to low frequency of purchase. Please follow me!” The Zhang Family cultivator led Ye Jingcheng into the courtyard.
Ye Jingcheng could see several doors emitting a notable warmth, indicating numerous artifact refining rooms.
The courtyard also featured numerous spirit woods, predominantly a type known as Flame Wood.
This spirit wood enhances firepower.
It’s mostly used in artifact refining, which requires less mastery of fire control compared to alchemy but demands higher firepower.
Some cultivators, seeking to refine higher-level artifacts, use Flame Wood when their own flames aren’t sufficient, or when the earth fire isn’t strong enough.
However, this method is less common in the Ye Family.
After all, refining artifacts is meant to earn spirit stones, and enhancing firepower with spirit wood would be unprofitable.
Only a prestigious name like the Zhang Family, especially with the Yong’an mark, could afford such spirit wood due to the attached premium.
“Here we are!” Finally reaching a courtyard, a Zhang Family Foundation Establishment opened the door, revealing the materials inside.
There were dozens of racks inside.
On the racks lay dozens of storage bags.
Each storage bag had a label describing the materials.
A Foundation Establishment sat meditating at the entrance, noticing Ye Jingcheng and glancing at the cultivator.
“Brother Cheng, this is Elder Ye from the Ye Family, here to look at the materials,” Zhang Zongyuan, the Zhang Family Foundation Establishment introduced.
“Elder Ye, if you see anything you like, let me know, and I will retrieve it for you,” Zhang Zongcheng spoke.
Ye Jingcheng took a look and indeed found the Zhang Family’s refining materials to be immeasurably abundant.
“It’s said that Yong’an Zhang Family’s artifacts are unparalleled; now I see that their spirit materials are also exceptional. I suppose the Zhang Family has many mini worlds producing these spirit materials!” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but praise.
Rather than addressing the more talkative Zhang Zongyuan, he directed his attention to Zhang Zongcheng, guarding the materials.
Upon hearing Ye Jingcheng’s words, Zhang Zongcheng’s expression subtly changed, as if pondering his response.
“Elder Ye flatters us!” Before Zhang Zongcheng could speak, Zhang Zongyuan spoke up.
He then took the initiative to step forward:
“Elder Ye, my uncle instructed that should you visit, regardless of your purchase, we will gift you a Tier Two Magical Sword!”
“Zhang Daoist, that’s too kind. In that case, in the future, any friends from the Zhang Family visiting the Ye Family Tavern will be gifted a Tier Two Spirit Cuisine!” Ye Jingcheng replied directly.
Internally, he had already deduced some things.
He speculated that the Zhang Family was likely operating in the Desert Sea World.
In fact, the Zhang Family’s strength might not be weak; having reviewed the materials, many were earth-attributed sand and soil minerals.
These minerals alone would not raise suspicion.
But when collected together and occupying a significant proportion, skepticism arises.
It’s known that genuine mini worlds rarely have numerous spirit material ore veins.
Most focus on cultivating spirit medicine.
Even when finding sand spirit materials, the quantity is limited.
The reason for his assertion is that visiting the Desert Sea World certainly requires a teleportation array, prompting many cultivators to consider it a secret realm or mini world.
Moreover, in the Zhang Family, Foundation Establishments are not mere errand runners; they know a fair amount.
A clearly visible repository of Desert Sea spirit materials indicates that the Zhang Family’s prowess may exceed Ye Jingcheng’s expectations.
Not to mention, the Zhang Family almost certainly possesses Golden Core cultivators.
Ye Jingcheng also remembered the prolonged standoff between the Taiyi Sect and the Zhang Family.
After more than half a year, it was announced that the Zhang Family was free of any issues.
Looking back, that extended period might have been the Zhang Family and Taiyi Sect exploring together.
Considering this, the likelihood seems high; the cooperation between other spirit peaks and the Zhang Family within the Taiyi Five Peaks is probable.
