Chapter 64: Three Major Effects! Storage Bag!

He spent a thousand Low‑grade Spirit Stones, plus a future promise, and Xiao Zhangqing successfully obtained the first‑tier premium Soul Dao artifact "Prison Dragon Bracelet".

This deal is certainly not a loss for Xiao Zhangqing, and Han Yu certainly won't lose either.

Even for a buyer desperate for a Soul Dao artifact, the Prison Dragon Bracelet would at most fetch an extra 1,100 Low‑grade Spirit Stones, and cannot be priced much higher.

As he said, no matter how glorious this artifact once was, or whether it sealed a third‑tier Jiaolong soul, now, aside from its slightly special material, the true power after its broken repair is indeed only first‑tier.

Moreover, with Xiao Zhangqing's promise that he could later purchase three Second‑rank Talisman Scripts at market price, if fulfilled, it would be a guaranteed profit.

Onlookers, seeing this scene, could only sigh, seeming to think that Xiao Zhangqing is destined to become a Second‑rank Talisman Master.

【Prison Dragon Bracelet】

【Originally a third‑tier premium artifact, it once sealed a third‑tier late‑stage Jiaolong soul, possessing Divine Sense attacks that could even threaten a Nascent Soul True Lord. After being broken, the Jiaolong soul was strangled, the artifact's spirit was erased, and its power reduced to less than one percent. Later, it was patched with extremely crude methods, further damaging the artifact, making restoration to its peak impossible. However, over centuries, the Jiaolong's soul aura has permeated the material, granting certain miraculous effects…】

【Equipment Requirement: Soul Transformation outward projection exceeding ten zhang】

【Equipment Effects: Soul Transformation strength doubled (below Nascent Soul), Superior Water Spirit Root (optional), Dragon Chant Technique (upgradable, mid Second‑rank to early Fourth‑rank)】

After obtaining the Prison Dragon Bracelet, Xiao Zhangqing returned to his seat, watched the system interface display the equipment's effects, appearing calm on the surface while his heart was already trembling with excitement!

Big profit! What a big profit!

The original third‑tier premium artifact, which once sealed a third‑tier late‑stage Jiaolong soul, I got it for just a thousand Low‑grade Spirit Stones!

Is there anything more profitable than this?

No wonder it's a third‑tier premium artifact; it actually has three major equipment effects.

And just by this brief description, one can see that these three effects are extremely powerful, and for the current Xiao Zhangqing they are the most desired, top‑tier effects! First, the equipment requirement is already met for Xiao Zhangqing.

For an ordinary Late Stage of Lian Qi seventh‑layer cultivator, Divine Sense strength might indeed be less than ten zhang.

However, as a Second‑rank Talisman Master, he regularly refines his Soul Transformation while drawing talismans, so his Soul Transformation projection is already around twelve zhang, stronger than average cultivators! And the first equipment effect of the Prison Dragon Bracelet is to double the Soul Transformation.

In other words, after equipping it, Xiao Zhangqing's Soul Transformation outward projection will reach twenty‑four zhang!

Although this still falls short of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage strength—cultivators at that stage usually have Soul Transformation outward projection around thirty zhang, and the weaker ones around twenty‑seven or twenty‑eight zhang.

Yet twenty‑four zhang is far beyond that of a typical Late Stage of Lian Qi ninth‑layer cultivator.

Even a Late Stage of Lian Qi ninth‑layer Great Perfection cultivator usually projects Soul Transformation only about fifteen zhang.

As a result, Xiao Zhangqing will not only have a huge advantage in talisman drawing, but also in dueling and other techniques.

The second effect is the Superior Water Spirit Root, and the third starts with the mid Second‑rank Dragon Chant Technique; Xiao Zhangqing hasn't equipped them yet, so he doesn't know the exact effects.

But without even thinking, it's clear they're absolutely divine‑level.

Especially the Superior Water Spirit Root combined with the Wu Dao Mat's root attribute +1…

Just thinking about it makes Xiao Zhangqing feel like he's about to soar! He restrains his excitement; he's still at the Exchange Conference, can't be too smug, and will study it slowly after the conference ends and he gets home! ……

The Exchange Conference continues.

Various treasures keep being presented by cultivators, some rare and powerful enough to reach the Foundation Establishment threshold, and some more ordinary artifacts.

Since Xiao Zhangqing already obtained the Prison Dragon Bracelet, today's Exchange Conference can be considered a surplus achievement. He doesn't intend to purchase any of the remaining treasures.

Moreover, he now only has 1,190 Low‑grade Spirit Stones left in his pocket; aside from the flawed, niche Prison Dragon Bracelet, he can't afford any genuine treasures.

Just as Xiao Zhangqing was about to be a spectator, a certain item moved him and sparked an idea.

The item itself can't be equipped or provide any good equipment effect.

But for cultivators, it's a "must‑have"—the Storage Bag!

The Storage Bag is a relatively common, well‑known item in the Cultivation World.

Yet few actually possess one.

At least among the Scattered Cultivators of Nanshan Fang, those who have a Storage Bag are as rare as phoenix feathers.

Ordinary Late Stage of Lian Qi cultivators can't afford them.

Only cultivators who can attend the Exchange Conference, or elite core members of major families, have Storage Bags.

And even the lowest‑grade Storage Bag, offering about a two‑meter square space, costs over a thousand Low‑grade Spirit Stones.

Towards the end of the Exchange Conference, when most cultivators had presented and traded most items, some began to bring out more common, yet still hard‑currency items of the Cultivation World.

So a cultivator presented a Storage Bag with about a 2.5‑meter square space, slightly larger than the lowest grade, priced exactly at Xiao Zhangqing's threshold: 1,150 Low‑grade Spirit Stones.

Xiao Zhangqing hesitated briefly, then stepped forward to haggle with the other party.

He finally secured it for 1,100 Low‑grade Spirit Stones.

The seller was willing to let it go for fifty Low‑grade Spirit Stones.

First, although the Storage Bag is hard currency, in a small place like Nanshan Fang, very few cultivators can afford one, and most of them have come to the Exchange Conference. If it isn't sold at the conference, selling it later would take considerable effort; he's currently short on Spirit Stones, so dealing at the conference is the best.

Second, out of respect for Xiao Zhangqing—making a good connection with a talisman master who is very likely to advance to Second‑rank—the seller could lower the price a bit and still accept.

So Xiao Zhangqing took the Storage Bag, immediately refined it with a strand of mana, and stamped his Soul Transformation seal onto it.

He then began to try transferring some of his belongings into the Storage Bag.

It felt extremely marvelous.

All it takes is a thought; a slight pull of mana makes the item instantly vanish from his hand and move into the Storage Bag, and Xiao Zhangqing's Divine Sense can perceive it placed in a tiny, isolated space.

Another thought, and the item reappears in his hand.

It's extremely convenient to use.

In, out, in, out…

Back and forth, Xiao Zhangqing became a bit addicted.

It felt like getting a fun toy.

This also counts as finally fulfilling one of the dreams Xiao Zhangqing had when he first crossed over.

As a cultivator, lacking a Storage Bag makes many tasks inconvenient.
