Chapter 836

"This..."

Elder Dong opened the storage bag and took a look, shocked beyond words.

One hundred pieces, all top-tier spirit stones.

One must know that in the Spirit Realm, although top-tier spirit stones are not particularly rare, there are not many of them either.

Spirit stones are derivatives of spirit veins.

Spirit veins can produce spirit stones.

And top-tier spirit stones can only be obtained from at least high-tier spirit veins.

To obtain top-tier spirit stones, one must break open the spirit heart of that high-tier spirit vein to obtain a top-tier spirit stone at the deepest part of the spirit vein's spirit heart.

As for top-tier spirit veins, after breaking open the spirit heart, one can obtain about ten top-tier spirit stones!

It's just that exaggerated!

To put it bluntly, mining one top-tier spirit stone requires destroying at least one high-tier spirit vein.

Back then, He Pingsheng placed five top-tier spirit stones with Mo Sang, which exchanged for a spirit treasure-level alchemy furnace.

The price of top-tier spirit stones can be imagined.

"Besides these, I also want some other items!" He Pingsheng said: "For example, are there any seventh-tier talismans!"

He Pingsheng's current cultivation can easily slay cultivators at the early stage of the Body Integration stage, and if he tries his best, he can also slay those at the middle stage of the Body Integration stage.

As for the late stage, I'm afraid he would have to calculate, but he might not necessarily be able to kill them.

It can only be said that his combat power is equivalent to cultivators at the late stage of the Body Integration stage 【seventh layer - ninth layer】.

As for cultivators at the peak of the Body Integration stage, he really can't beat them.

If he wants to slay them, he can only rely on other means.

For example, seventh-tier talismans.

"None!" Elder Dong gave a bitter smile and said: "Seventh-tier talismans are generally things that cultivators keep at the bottom of their boxes for life-saving; very few people take them out for sale, and at the same tier, talisman-making is more difficult than alchemy and artifact-refining!"

"Therefore, even in our chamber of commerce, things like seventh-tier talismans and eighth-tier talismans are not common!"

"Of course, sometimes people will consign them at auctions, and some people will take them out at trading gatherings!"

"To tell you the truth, little brother, if our chamber of commerce had this thing, it would have been bought out long ago!"

"Not to mention anything else, if the price were right, this old man would be the first to buy it for self-preservation!"

He Pingsheng nodded: That makes sense.

The higher the level, the greater the role of talismans, and the more obvious the effect.

It seems that it will be really difficult to obtain higher-level talismans in the future.

If only Senior Sister Qiao were still here.

Or, should I learn talisman-making myself?

"Understood!" He Pingsheng nodded: "Then... are there any works on talisman-making, the higher the level the better, and also..."

"Classics on arrays!"

Now, as his cultivation gets higher and higher, things in this area can't keep up.

Originally, He Pingsheng also had two talisman classics, but he gave them all to Qiao Huizhu and didn't keep a backup for himself.

As for the two array-related ones, 【Heavenly Moon Divine Array】 and 【Great Sun Divine Array】, the array tiers recorded on them only go up to the sixth tier.

After comprehending for a while, he couldn't comprehend any further.

Some couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, these two alchemy classics, 【Tai Qing Golden Liquid Scripture】 and 【Golden Casket Participation in the Same Contract】, are still fine.

These two alchemy classics are enough to support him to the Mahayana Imperial Realm at the highest level of the Spirit Realm.

"Uh..." Elder Dong felt a bit uncertain in his heart, and he said: "How about this, fellow Daoist, follow me and take a look!"

"I don't know how high the level you are talking about is!"

"That's fine!" He Pingsheng followed Elder Dong back to the third floor of the chamber of commerce.

Took a look!

The level of the classics in the chamber of commerce was not high enough.

He Pingsheng wandered around for a while longer, then found an excuse to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Xu Zi!" Elder Dong sent him to the entrance and said: "A month later, our chamber of commerce will have an auction; you can come then. At that time, not only can you participate in the auction held by our chamber of commerce, perhaps there will be unexpected surprises at that auction, and you can also get the 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Seed】 you reserved!"

"Fine!" The two agreed, and He Pingsheng left.

Walking out of this 【Mountain Spring Chamber of Commerce】, He Pingsheng went to wander around other chambers of commerce in the Imperial City.

He also didn't purchase any higher-level array or talisman works.

However, after wandering around like this, he managed to gather the materials for the 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea】.

Except for the Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Seed.

That was good news.

The next thing was simple: first strengthen the materials, then strengthen some spirit stones.

He Pingsheng teleported out of the city, found a desolate mountain outside the city, and went into seclusion deep in the desolate mountain.

In a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The various materials had also been strengthened into double portions by him.

On this day, the date agreed upon with the Mountain Spring Chamber of Commerce had also arrived.

He Pingsheng teleported again, from outside the city to inside the city, and just right, he landed at the entrance of the Mountain Spring Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he entered the door, he was led by the female Elder at the Soul Transformation stage to Elder Dong.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Xu Zi is here... great... please enter!"

"Your things have arrived!"

"But I'm very sorry, for these Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Seeds, I only managed to get five for you!"

Five seeds.

Although not many, having them is better than not having them!

While the two were talking, they walked into another private room.

After the array was opened, Elder Dong directly gave a jade box to He Pingsheng; He Pingsheng opened it and took a look, and it was indeed five Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Seeds.

This time, the materials for refining the 【Seven-Colored Holy Lotus Tea】 were finally gathered!

"Fellow Daoist Tai Xu Zi, our chamber of commerce has an auction tonight!" Elder Dong took out a jade slip and said with a chuckle: "You are welcome to come and participate; this is the list of items already decided for the auction, you can take a look!"

He Pingsheng took the jade slip and looked at it.

He wanted to see if there were any works on talisman-making.

Unfortunately, there were none!

There were no talismans either!

However, there was one thing that attracted his attention.

It was a shop.

According to the description on the jade slip, it said that a shop located in a prosperous area of the Imperial City needed to be auctioned off.

The usage period was one hundred years.

He Pingsheng immediately became interested.

His current cultivation was at the eleventh layer of the Void Refinement stage, stuck at a bottleneck.

This was very awkward!

He couldn't cultivate further, and he didn't dare to use heavenly treasures to break through; wanting to break through was really difficult.

Either experience life and death, or have a sudden realization, or experience more in the mortal world.

If it's about experiencing, He Pingsheng felt that opening a shop was a good choice.

Opening a shop, coming into contact with more people, was very helpful for tempering one's state of mind.

Furthermore, opening a shop to refine alchemy could also collect some unexpected materials and encounter some unexpected rewards.

Hmm...

Not bad!

Or should I try to take it over?

He Pingsheng was very familiar with this.

Back when he was in the Cultivation World, he had opened a shop!

At that time, Xiaohe helped look after the shop.

Now there was no Xiaohe, but there was still this fellow Feng Wu.

Not bad!

Let's do it!

"Also!" Elder Dong continued: "After this auction ends, according to custom, early the next morning, we will have a small-scale trading gathering here; fellow Daoist Tai Xu Zi can also participate!"

He Pingsheng smiled.

A trading gathering after an auction is almost a set pattern.
