Chapter 579: The Chicken-Rib Ultimate Skill

~8 min read 1,472 words

"Lingyun, today is the day of the free trade fair, let's go take a look!"

After discussing the list of participants for this martial arts tournament, Chen Jing took Lingyun's arm and said to him.

"A free trade fair, that sounds quite interesting; I'd like to go see it." Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going too!" Xili Ailisi raised her little hand and said.

"But it seems we don't have anything on us that can be used for trading," Luo Yexi said.

"You don't need to worry about that, look at this!" Lingyun flipped his hand, and a small porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

"This is... an Origin Qi Pill?" After Chen Jing saw the pill in the bottle clearly, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Origin Qi Pill is a type of pill that can provide spiritual energy to Golden Core Stage experts; one Origin Qi Pill can provide roughly the entire amount of True Qi for someone at the Golden Core Early Stage. This type of pill is quite popular, but because the difficulty of refining it is not low, the output has never been very high. If this kind of pill appeared, it would definitely be favored by the vast majority of people.

"Lingyun, the pills inside here, they couldn't all be Origin Qi Pills, could they?" Looking at the porcelain bottle in Lingyun's hand, Chen Jing couldn't help but gasp.

"That's right, they are all Origin Qi Pills inside. One bottle per person should be enough for you all to finish browsing this free trade fair," Lingyun nodded and said.

"One bottle per person? Wouldn't that be too much? I'm worried this will attract the covetous eyes of others," Su Wanyue said with a frown.

"Covetous eyes? If these people harbor ill intentions toward us because of a single Origin Qi Pill, then their path has already reached its end," Lingyun shrugged and said.

"Alright then, I won't disturb your world for two!" Nangong Nayue gave Chen Jing a mischievous smile, then unfolded a Space Array and disappeared.

After Nangong Nayue left, the others also left one by one, leaving only Lingyun and Chen Jing behind.

"Let's go!" Lingyun gave Chen Jing a smile.

"Mm." Chen Jing responded in a low voice and leaned her body against Lingyun.

"This place is the free trade market." Following the signs on the island, Lingyun and Chen Jing stepped into a huge plaza.

This plaza looked extremely lively, with many different people setting up stalls here. At the same time, there were also many people who had come to hunt for treasures, and all kinds of discussions and haggling could be heard incessantly.

"It is said that many treasures appear in this place!" Chen Jing said to Lingyun.

"Is that so?" Lingyun smiled and led Chen Jing into the market.

"Lingyun, look here, there is actually a thousand-year Wood Heart for sale!" Chen Jing's gaze fell upon a piece of unremarkable wood, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. "Didn't you say before that you wanted to find a high-age Wood Heart?"

"This young lady truly has a good eye; this is indeed a rare thousand-year Wood Heart!" The stall owner gave Chen Jing a smile. "This item is my treasure, and I only brought it out for this trade fair. If you have any treasures in your hands, young lady, we can trade item for item."

Lingyun took a peek at the thousand-year Wood Heart placed in front of the stall owner, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile: "We can't afford such a precious thing as a thousand-year Wood Heart, let's go look for other Wood Hearts!"

Chen Jing glanced at Lingyun, then smiled at the stall owner and followed Lingyun away from there.

"Lingyun, was there a problem with that Wood Heart?" After leaving the stall owner a certain distance away, Chen Jing asked Lingyun.

"Why do you think there was a problem with that Wood Heart?" Lingyun said with a smile.

"If there were no problem with that Wood Heart, you definitely would have bought it; after all, a thousand-year Wood Heart is a rare treasure. And you just took one look at that Wood Heart and wanted to leave, that already says a lot." Chen Jing said with a giggle.

"That's right, there is indeed a big problem with that Wood Heart. That person must be a master of forgery; it was only a three or four-hundred-year-old Wood Heart, yet he managed to disguise it as a thousand-year Wood Heart. This is also why he didn't send this so-called thousand-year Wood Heart to an auction; once people knew he was selling fakes, he would be finished." Lingyun explained.

"What a clever forgery technique, I didn't even notice it." Chen Jing couldn't help but click her tongue.

"If it were so easy to see through, then his craft wouldn't be up to par!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Mm, that stall over there seems a bit interesting; there isn't a single person there." Chen Jing said, looking at a stall not far away.

Lingyun walked up to the stall and found that there was only one book that looked somewhat old on it. The stall owner was a middle-aged man; judging from the aura on his body, this person's strength should be around the Golden Core Mid-stage.

"One Qi Transforms into Nine Hundred? It looks like some kind of martial technique." Chen Jing said, looking at the cover of the book.

"Tsk tsk, Old Lu, why are you still bringing this book out to sell?" Someone beside the stall owner saw this book and couldn't help but shake his head and say.

"May I take a look?" Chen Jing asked.

"You may." The stall owner nodded.

"This kind of ultimate skill can actually allow one to unleash a move with nine hundred times the power, this is too exaggerated!" After reading the introduction of this martial technique, Chen Jing couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"What nine hundred times the power, I've seen this ultimate skill before. To unleash such a move, one must concentrate and calm their mind for three days, and one cannot be disturbed at all during these three days. Once disturbed, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but it will also cause self-injury. Moreover, once this ultimate skill is activated, it cannot be stopped. Even if the gathering of Qi is successful, one can only unleash one move, and after that, there is nothing left. To be honest, this kind of ultimate skill is no different from a chicken rib!" The stall owner curled his lips and said.

"Lingyun, what do you think?" Chen Jing turned her gaze toward Lingyun on the side.

"What do you want to trade for this ultimate skill?" Lingyun looked at the 'One Qi Transforms into Nine Hundred' in his hand and asked.

"I want to trade for a Snow Spirit Pill, or three portions of ingredients for the Snow Spirit Pill." Old Lu gritted his teeth and said.

"Snow Spirit Pill?" Chen Jing frowned slightly.

The Snow Spirit Pill is not an ordinary pill, but an extremely precious Antidote Pill that can neutralize the vast majority of toxins, especially having a huge restraining effect on fire poison. Refining a Snow Spirit Pill not only requires many precious medicinal materials, but the difficulty of refining it is also quite high, which makes the price of the Snow Spirit Pill extremely expensive.

"How about it, you've seen it, right? Such a chicken-rib-like ultimate skill, and he actually wants to trade for a Snow Spirit Pill or three portions of Snow Spirit Pill ingredients; isn't this treating others like fools to be slaughtered!" That stall owner interjected.

"I actually think this ultimate skill seems quite interesting." Lingyun closed the book and took a jade bottle out of his pocket. "This is a Snow Spirit Pill, take a look!"

"Snow Spirit Pill? No way, there's actually someone using a Snow Spirit Pill to trade for this kind of chicken-rib ultimate skill!" The stall owner on the side had his eyes widened.

Old Lu took the jade bottle from Lingyun's hand with some trembling and carefully pulled out the jade stopper.

Inside the bottle was a pill the size of a dragon's eye, and there seemed to be snowflakes drifting on the surface of the pill.

"This, this really is a Snow Spirit Pill, great, this time Min'er is saved." An uncontrollable joy appeared on Old Lu's face, and he didn't even care about his own stall, leaving in a hurry with the jade bottle in his hand.

Watching Old Lu's departing back, Lingyun smiled and stored the book in his hand into the Cloud Realm.
