Chapter 13: Wan Zai Kong Qing Third Watch Seeking Recommendation Votes

  "Iron-backed turtle shell, six-tailed demon fox claws, hundred-year-old brocade python skin, fire rhinoceros horn, cinnabar sand, three-level demon beast demon pills five pieces..."

  That's all of Chu Linfeng's current possessions, all of which he obtained by hunting and killing demonic beasts outside the Medicine Valley in the past few months. Among them, the Iron-Backed Turtle Shell Pieces and the Fire Rhinoceros Horn are the most precious. Although they were all taken from third-grade demonic beasts, they are extremely useful for refining some low-end magical artifacts.

  As for those five third-grade elixirs that have no effect on the current Chu Lianfeng, they are also invaluable treasures for those whose cultivation is below the fifth heaven of the human stage, and their efficacy is almost comparable to that of the "Yuanyuan Dan", which is worth hundreds of spirit stones.

  "Now that I have the materials, but as for actually crafting the equipment, there's still a bit of a shortfall..."

  Chu Linfeng had indeed cultivated the "Xuanyang Qiling Jue", but in the field of alchemy, he was still quite unfamiliar with it. After all, in the realm of cultivation, alchemists were even rarer than pill refiners. Although Chu Linfeng had grasped the yuan fire that could be used for alchemy through his cultivation of the "Xuanyang Qiling Jue", he was completely clueless about the steps and methods involved in alchemy.

  "I can now control the most basic human soul fire, and refining some low-grade magic treasures should be enough. However, I don't know the specific method of refinement, and I also lack the necessary spirit stones for refining equipment, which is a rather frustrating thing..."

  "It's fortunate that obtaining the recipes for a few low-grade magic treasures isn't too difficult. After calculating the timing, in two days it will be the Sect Trading Conference which is held once every three months. With the chips I have on hand, I should be able to exchange for what I need."

  In today's cultivation world, artifact refiners are undoubtedly a more scarce existence than pill refiners, but this does not mean that the methods of refining artifacts are extremely rare. On the contrary, for any cultivator with some talent, it is an extremely easy and common thing to come up with several methods for refining artifacts.

  The real difficulty lies in the fact that those who cultivate the truth have developed a method for refining magical artifacts, and have prepared sufficient materials, but because they do not possess the Xuan Yang spiritual body and the extremely rare Refining Instrument Cultivation Heart Decision, they are unable to possess the yuan fire, having everything but lacking the foundation for refining instruments, it's all in vain.

  Generally speaking, those cultivators with decent strength will seek out a master craftsman to forge a magic treasure for them after they have prepared sufficient materials.

  Extract the spiritual stone, extract the refining material, provide the method of refining the treasure, and pay a satisfactory reward to the refiner, plus good luck, no waste products will be produced, in order to finally obtain the desired treasure, the difficulty can be seen at a glance.

  In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and when the sun rose in the east, Chu Lin put all his family's belongings into a storage bag and set off towards Qianren Peak, one of the seven main peaks of Xuanyuan Mountain.

  Qian Ren Peak was thirty miles away from Zi Yun Peak where Chu Linfeng lived, with a height of over 3,000 meters. Although the venue for the sect's trading conference was set at the waist of Qian Ren Peak, it was still a rather distant journey. Fortunately, Chu Linfeng now possessed the power of the fifth layer of Tian Ding Peak, and the steep mountain road beneath his feet seemed like flat ground. His figure was as swift as the wind, and he arrived at Qian Ren Peak in less than an hour.

  With Chu Linfeng's current cultivation and strength, he should be able to fly with his sword even if it was just a normal flight, and two years ago, he had already received a flying sword from Tongxuan True Person. However, before the start of the sect's grand competition, Chu Linfeng had already thought about hiding his recovery of his former cultivation as much as possible, so naturally, he wouldn't do something that would attract attention like flying with his sword.

  Xuanyuan Sect is a mid-to-high-level sect among the many sects in the Daozong lineage. The sect's headquarters covers an area of over 300 miles, excluding the seven main peaks, and includes nearly a hundred side peaks, strange mountains, and secluded valleys, all within the Xuanyuan Sect's territory.

  There are over a thousand sects and factions, with people scattered among them. Apart from the seven main peaks where spiritual energy is most abundant, places like the Purple Cloud Peak where Chu Lianfeng currently resides, might not have another person within a radius of several miles.

  In the ordinary days, each of the Xuan Yuan Sect's disciples has their own exclusive cultivation ground. Every three months, the sect holds a transaction meeting, which is a day when thousands of disciples gather together. After all, cultivating the truth is not like other things, it's not something that can be achieved just by diligent practice. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, taking elixirs and medicines, and refining materials are all indispensable in the cultivation process.

  No matter how great the divine power is or how strong the cultivation is, a person's energy and time are ultimately limited. To obtain what is needed in the cultivation process, it is indispensable to trade with others. All those who cultivate the truth cannot avoid this, which is also the fundamental reason for the existence of the sect's transaction meeting.

  Setting foot on Qianren Peak, Chu Lin felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly becoming several times more dense. Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, "The spiritual energy of Qianren Peak is probably five times that of Ziyun Peak, but compared to the place where I cultivated two years ago, the first of the seven main peaks, Xuan Yin Peak, it still has some gap."

  After Xiang Shou Shan Tong Zi Liang showed his identity token as a miscellaneous younger brother, Chu Lin Feng also didn't mind the former's slightly contemptuous gaze, and directly headed towards the waist of Qian Jian Peak to rush to the trading venue. Just before entering the trading venue, Chu Lin Feng even took out a bamboo mask from his pocket, and after confirming that no one around him had noticed himself, he put on the mask and stepped into the trading venue.

  Concealing one's identity during transactions is an unwritten rule within the clan's internal trading, although they are all fellow clansmen, many people still do not want to reveal their identities in the process of transaction.

  After all, in nearly a hundred trading sessions, there have been several cases of fellow disciples killing each other to seize treasures, so keeping a low profile and being cautious has become a major rule within the sect's trading sessions, especially for those who occasionally obtain precious treasures but lack sufficient strength, they are even more careful in the trading sessions, fearing that they might provoke a fatal disaster.

  The trading venue was set up on a flat ground of over 1,000 ping in the middle of Qianren Peak, and when Chu Linfeng arrived, there were already hundreds of people inside the venue, and upon looking around, he found that those wearing masks like him were not in the minority.

  Chu Linfeng wasn't attending the clan's trading conference for the first time, so he familiarly found a slightly remote location, inconspicuously took out a bamboo sign with prices already written on it and stood it in front of him, then sat down cross-legged, waiting for customers to come.

  The wine was deep and not afraid of the alley being deep, only on the bamboo sign simply wrote "Three-tiered demon pill, priced at 400 ordinary spirit stones, or exchange for items of equal value" a line of words, nor did he fear that no one would notice him here.

  "This Daoist brother, you really have a third-grade Yao Dan, I wonder if you can tell me what attribute it is?" Soon, a third-generation disciple with a sturdy figure and a pair of phoenix eyes came to Chu Linfeng's stall and asked tentatively.

  "Fire attribute." Chu Linfeng's gaze swept over his opponent, saying calmly and unhurriedly.

  "Three hundred spirit stones, I'll take them..." Dan Feng's pupils slightly contracted, her expression unchanged.

  "Four hundred Spirit Stones, three-tiered Demon Pellets are comparable to the 'Gathering Origin Pellet' that enhances one's cultivation. If we're talking about rarity, it's even more precious than that. After all, most demon beasts will shatter their pellets and perish, being able to obtain a single pellet is a one-in-a-hundred chance. This is my final price." Chu Linfeng said calmly.

  "But I only have 300 spirit stones..." Dan Feng's eyes showed a hint of anxiety at this moment, she paused for a moment, biting her lower lip and said.

  As they spoke, Dan Feng's eyes reached into his bosom and pulled out a delicate white porcelain bottle. He cautiously looked around, leaned in close to Chu Linfeng, and carefully opened the lid, releasing a sweet and refreshing fragrance that wafted out.

  "This is..."

  Chu Linfeng has lost his cultivation over the past two years, but he hasn't wasted his time. Apart from persisting in physical training, he has also borrowed many miscellaneous books to read and memorize, so he knows roughly about various heavenly materials and treasures. At this moment, upon smelling the fragrance, he quickly glanced over and saw that the color of the contents in the porcelain bottle was milky white. He couldn't help but slightly change his expression and say: "Wan Zai Kong Qing".

  "Brother Dao has good eyesight. Wan Zai Kong Qing is a top-grade spiritual medicine that can restore one's true yuan power. For anyone whose cultivation is below the sixth stage of the Earth Realm, taking just one drop can immediately recover their yuan power to its peak state, even if they've exhausted all their yuan power. Such treasures are extremely rare. This bottle contains six drops in total. I'm willing to trade three drops for your third-stage demon dan. What do you think?"

  "This Wan Zai Qing is a fast-consumable item, but it's a lifesaver... its value far exceeds that of the third-grade Yao Dan. This person has no idea how precious this Wan Zai Qing is..."

  Chu Linfeng merely hummed in response and then said in a low voice, "I'll use two Yāo Dān to exchange for this bottle of yours."

  Suddenly hearing this, Danfeng's eyes first froze for a moment, then furrowed her brow and said: "Brother Dao, I am a fire spirit body, is your other demon pill also of the fire attribute?"

  "Don't worry."

  Chu Linfeng didn't say much, quickly reaching into his storage bag and pulling out two bright red elixirs, saying "What do you think?"

  Danfeng's eyes moved slightly as he sensed the two elixirs emitting a powerful and majestic energy. He couldn't help but exclaim with great joy: "With these two elixirs, before the grand competition of our sect, I will definitely be able to break through the fifth heaven of the Human Realm! Alright, let's make the exchange!"

  After hastily completing the transaction with Dan Feng, Chu Linfeng immediately put away the bamboo sign and changed to another location before continuing to set up his stall selling demon pellets.

  Because Chu Linfeng's pricing of the demon pellets was quite fair, and most of the Zong Nei Sect members who came to the trading conference were below the fifth heaven of human rank, it didn't take long for Chu Linfeng to sell off the remaining three demon pellets. Two of them were exchanged for 800 ordinary spirit stones, while the other one was traded for a thumb-sized piece of refined gold.

  Refined gold is an indispensable auxiliary material for refining equipment, although it is not a rare item, but because of its high manufacturing cost, after all, every 800 kilograms of red gold can only be condensed into half a kilogram of refined gold after nine times of heavy forging and refinement. If one or two refined gold are added during the refining process, then the law-abiding treasure that can be refined has the effect of breaking gold, it is extremely hard and not easy to damage.

  "It's time to take a stroll..." Having sold all the remaining demon pellets and having obtained a foundation of 800 spiritual stones, Chu Linfeng immediately withdrew his stall and began searching for the target object he had come for.
