Chapter 141: Thunder Essence Electric Snake, Robbing with a Horizontal Sword

~13 min read 2,578 words

The disciple of the One Qi Pavilion saw that Brother Qian Chen was asking for such a rare treasure, yet his face was still very calm, so he became even more cautious: "Gang-sha qi is truly too precious. If it were those on the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha list, even if the immortal sects of the world gathered together, they might not be able to gather a few mouths. The thunder-attribute gang-sha qi that the distinguished guest seeks is not available in this pavilion."

Fortunately, Brother Qian Chen didn't have much expectation in the first place, so his face didn't show any disappointment.

This made the One Qi Pavilion disciple somewhat unclear whether Brother Qian Chen was truly seeking this item, or if he saw that their One Qi Pavilion was a big shop with great momentum and deliberately said something they couldn't possibly take out to kill their momentum.

He could only accompany with a smile: "The distinguished guest seeks such precious things, so you must go to the second floor. This floor only has some mixed yuan qi, which naturally doesn't enter the eyes of a master."

Brother Qian Chen glanced at it and saw that there were green-skinned gourds placed on the shelves and tables all around.

These gourds, whether large or small, all had some spiritual qi. Although they were not as full of spiritual qi as the red gourd Brother Qian Chen carried at his waist, they were already a kind of low-grade spiritual medicine. Brother Qian Chen's spiritual sense swept over, and he could sense the yuan qi stored in those gourds. The amount of yuan qi stored in them was not small, about as much as Brother Qian Chen harvested in one day. But Brother Qian Chen was already close to the limit of yuan qi that could be harvested in the Penetrating Law Realm. For ordinary rogue cultivators, it would take at least nearly three months of painstaking collection.

Buying such a gourd could also be convenient for qi refining and cultivating spells. A heterodox Daoist art, refining such a gourd of yuan qi, would be about enough to refine it.

Even for more powerful spells, it would be at most three gourds.

But none of these yuan qi were suitable for Brother Qian Chen; the quality was too low and mixed, and there was even mixed blood qi refined from women's menstruation, and the price was even a bit higher than ordinary ones. Of course, most of the yuan qi were common goods like cold yin qi, green wood spiritual qi, departing fire yuan qi, and water vapor of the Gui water, which Brother Qian Chen looked down upon even more.

The amount was enough for him to harvest in one day.

But what Brother Qian Chen harvested was at least at the level of Ice Soul Yuan Qi.

If it were just collecting some water vapor, Brother Qian Chen could collect a gourd with a wave of his hand by finding a large lake or marsh.

Could that gourd of Gui water vapor refine a wisp of Gui water essence as thick as a finger?

Brother Qian Chen shook his head secretly: "Rogue cultivators who need this kind of mixed yuan qi would rather painstakingly harvest it themselves for a year than spend such a price to buy it. And those who can afford such a price would generally look down on this yuan qi."

The Supreme Dao favors gourds. Brother Qian Chen looked down on the mixed yuan qi, but the green-skinned gourds made him feel good.

He pointed casually and asked: "Do you sell these gourds?"

The One Qi Pavilion disciple was encountering this kind of "buying the box and returning the pearl" situation for the first time, and hesitated: "These gourds are planted by the sect as vessels for containing yuan qi, and they are not worth any money. If the distinguished guest wants them, we can give them away."

It just so happened that the jade bottles for storing spiritual pills were running out! It wouldn't be bad to take these small gourds the size of two fingers to store spiritual pills.

Zhou Kang saw the Ear Dao God and was somewhat astonished. "This is the Ear Dao God?"

Because the yuan qi on this floor had reached the level of Supreme Yin Cold Qi, Ice Soul Yuan Qi, Gui Water Essence, and Departing Fire Essence. Although it was still a bit mixed compared to what Brother Qian Chen sensed, it could be used after rough refining when he went back. Of course... the price was dozens of times higher than downstairs. Without a hundred letter talismans, they wouldn't even consider it.

These yuan qi had extreme properties, so they had to be contained in corresponding vessels. For example, jade bottles were good for storing Supreme Yin Cold Qi and Ice Soul Yuan Qi, but if gourds were used, they would crack from the cold in a few days. And if Gui Water Essence was placed in a mud pot, it wouldn't matter, but if it touched a trace of jade, it would nourish the jade until it was crystal clear and moist like a pool of clear water, while it itself would gradually be consumed.

Brother Qian Chen picked out thunder essence qi and Xun wind essence qi and bought a few bottles. If Brother Qian Chen didn't go to the high altitude to harvest thunder essence qi, he could only collect a little when it rained and thundered in the rainy season. For Brother Qian Chen, this was also a relatively troublesome thing.

And Brother Qian Chen was preparing to refine the Five Thunders Pill, and various things like Xun wind essence qi, Jia wood, and Yi wood essence qi all needed relatively large amounts. He bought them all here by the way.

Calculating it, when the Lord of Samsara refined the Great Saint Thunder Sound Zither, he charged Brother Qian Chen two hundred merit points for refining the spider silk with thunder essence qi...

What is the concept of two hundred merit points? Brother Qian Chen spent five hundred merit points to invite the Heavenly Child of the Heavenly Market Wall to take action. The starlight and various yuan qi poured down that day were not only not inferior to those thunder essence qi in quality, but in quantity, they were hundreds of times more than the Lord of Samsara. Even if the Lord of Samsara's refining quality was better, Brother Qian Chen doing it himself would only take a few more moments.

The material costs in the Samsara Land were simply black-hearted to a certain extent.

So Brother Qian Chen was truly not treating the talisman money as money when he scattered it here. One gourd of thunder essence qi was only five Three Mountains Talisman coins, buy!

Brother Qian Chen scattered more than two hundred Three Mountains Talisman coins and swept away the yuan qi he needed for refining pills. The disciple of the One Qi Pavilion's eyelids twitched, and even the children holding the vessels containing yuan qi couldn't help but let out low gasps. The One Qi Pavilion disciple carefully looked at the vermilion legal seal on the Three Mountains Talisman, his face twitching, and he couldn't help but look at Brother Qian Chen a few more times.

"The Three Mountains Talisman in the Samsara Land is probably worth one merit point each. Of course, the selling price is ten times lower..."

"According to the exchange price of the Lord of Samsara, one bolt of thunder essence qi is about one hundred and twenty merit points, which is a twenty-four-fold price difference!" Brother Qian Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When it comes to prices, the Central Lands world is still better."

Brother Qian Chen had also thought about why the prices of gang-sha qi and even essence yuan qi in the Samsara Land were so exaggerated.

Later, he understood a little.

Although the Central Lands world is declining, it is also an Earth Immortal Realm, one of the heavens. It's not that the yuan qi price in the Samsara Land is too high, but that the yuan qi here is richer than other worlds. Rich to the point that if you resell yuan qi, you can make a profit even with the ten-fold price difference of the Lord of Samsara. The Lord of Samsara's prices have to face the entire cosmos, so naturally, because the specialties of each world are different, there is room for arbitrage.

But doing this is damaging the origin of the world where the Samsara traveler is located. Although the yuan qi hooked away by the Samsara traveler is not even a drop in the bucket, just from the fact that Brother Qian Chen has to find ways to repay the creation for refining a pill...

The Heavenly Dao of a world, or if a world has a Heavenly Dao, is quite stingy and vengeful.

Taking its things, you will eventually have to pay it back with interest!

"Anything else?" Brother Qian Chen bought out one-third of the goods on this floor, glanced at the rest that were no longer eye-catching, and then turned to ask the disciple of the One Qi Pavilion.

That disciple of the One Qi Pavilion no longer dared to doubt Brother Qian Chen's financial resources. Seeing him purchase thunder-attribute yuan qi without even blinking, he knew that if he took out a bolt of thunder-attribute sha qi, this person might truly be able to buy it casually.

He said respectfully: "The distinguished guest, please go to the third floor... Although this pavilion does not have thunder-attribute sha qi, it still has a few types of slightly inferior yin-sha."

"Oh?" Brother Qian Chen was interested. Gang-sha qi is fine in the Central Lands world, but in the Lord of Samsara's place, they are usually priced in morality. If they can be bought, even if the price is slightly expensive, it is a blood profit in the cosmos.

Ascending to the third floor, it was much more spacious than downstairs. More than a dozen bottles, jars, altars, and gourds were scattered among them. Many decorations and arrangements surrounded these things, setting them off as extremely valuable.

Brother Qian Chen saw a small altar of a green dragon playing in the sea, inside which was a pool of clear water. His spiritual sense swept over, and it was Gui water true water.

Even the small altar of the green dragon playing in the sea was a magic treasure refined with two layers of seals.

Another yellow-skinned gourd, full of spiritual qi and only slightly inferior in quality to the one at Brother Qian Chen's waist, had an electric snake coiled inside. It was a spiritual object formed by thunder essence qi.

And a peach blossom that didn't wither inserted in a jade bottle, full of Jia wood qi, was actually a spiritual object that could be used to refine high-grade magic treasures.

There were four jars and cans containing sha qi, three of which were only suitable for refining into the Seven Malevolence Banner. Brother Qian Chen didn't even look at them. Only a bronze bottle containing Wu earth true gold sha made Brother Qian Chen somewhat concerned. The overall quality of this wisp of Wu earth true gold sha was indeed not inferior to the Mysterious Yin Frost Sha he discovered under the abandoned house!

Although the purity was slightly worse, the essence was more mellow. If he could find a corresponding Dry Heaven Gang Qi, he could also refine an external yuan pill of the seventh rank or higher.

"It's a pity. There are not many Dry Heaven Gang Qi that can be matched with Wu earth true gold sha. Except for the Dry Heaven Five Elements True Gang, there are only a few types of Yi wood and Gui water gang qi that can be matched. If the gang qi that can be gathered is relatively thick and the five elements are complete, it is possible to refine a fourth or fifth-rank yuan pill."

Brother Qian Chen felt a little regretful. Gang-sha qi is extremely precious, and it is even harder to find mutually corresponding gang-sha qi.

If it weren't for this, Brother Qian Chen wouldn't have almost exterminated a sect just to grab the sha qi he needed. That Pei Pei Junhu wouldn't have been delayed in forming a core, and for the sake of opportunity, showed off his "firm Dao heart" to Brother Qian Chen.

But buying such precious resources is never wrong. Even if not, refining them into magic treasures can also refine a magic treasure with excellent essence. For example, the earth-splitting small hoe he got from the Sun-Chasing Divine Lord is now molding in his Qiankun Bag. If he refines this Wu earth true gold sha into it, it will also be a good earth-escape magic treasure.

At this time, a young master in a white Confucian robe, surrounded by several servants, slowly came to the third floor.

He glanced at Brother Qian Chen and just treated him as an idler, not putting him in his eyes.

While walking, he said to the young disciple of the One Qi Sect accompanying him: "Is that thunder essence electric snake really as you said? Can it swallow thunder and lightning, suitable for refining lightning-avoiding magic treasures?"

"That is natural... This thunder essence electric snake was taken by Uncle Master Zongde when he killed a tribulation-crossing great demon in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wilderness. Later, Uncle Master Zongde bestowed the demon core of that great demon upon a nephew of his. That person was not outstanding in the sect on weekdays, but just because he pleased his uncle, he actually obtained such an opportunity."

"There was quite a stir in the sect for a few days."

The young master in the white Confucian robe laughed: "Why does Junior Brother envy him? If Junior Brother can form a core with his own magic power, there is hope for a middle-grade golden core. Isn't the future ten times better than his?"

"Brother Tao is joking!" The One Qi Sect disciple sighed: "Forming a core with one's own magic power, wouldn't I be old and decrepit by the time I achieve it? Every year at the Core Formation Assembly in the sect, the Sect Master and various elders examine the disciples and bestow the One Qi Eight Tripod Conversion Furnace Pill that helps in forming a core. If one can obtain this pill, one can be considered to have hope for a middle-grade golden core!"

That young master Tao smiled without saying a word, knowing that this person was flattering him just to get him to say a word to his family and push him.

But... is he worth a One Qi Eight Tripod Conversion Furnace Pill?

The One Qi Sect is a superior immortal sect, otherwise they wouldn't be able to refine such supreme immortal pills that help in forming a core. This person's family background is not high, and wanting to push him to the top, how many favors would be wasted? That One Qi Eight Tripod Conversion Furnace Pill, is it something that a collateral branch like him can covet?

Young Master Tao himself wanted to obtain one, and he had to expend a lot of thought and favors.
