Chapter 1991: Chapter 964: Yuan Huo Shangren
Ye Qing received a message talisman, saying that the owner of an item he was interested in had returned and invited him for a detailed discussion, so he left first.
Chen Mobai began to wander around alone.
He walked past one stone platform after another, admiring various exotic treasures, occasionally stopping to chat, hoping to snag a bargain.
The treasures here in the Tianhe Realm were far more abundant than those at the Immortal Gate, but unfortunately, his pockets were empty, so he could only buy the cheap ones.
Soon, he arrived at a place specializing in selling cultivation technique books. When the Star Heaven Dao Sect set up stone platforms for Nascent Soul cultivators, they would ask what types of items were being sold and group similar ones together.
Here, he saw yellowed ancient books and even some fragmented jade slips.
There were also the most Nascent Soul cultivators here, including Mo Douguang, whom Chen Mobai noticed.
“Senior brother, have you made any gains?”
Mo Douguang saw Chen Mobai and took out two sword cultivation techniques and a jade yellow book slip from his storage bag.
Chen Mobai took a look and found they were all incomplete Nascent Soul cultivation methods. He asked about the price, which was less than half of what the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s cost.
However, buying and selling these things relied solely on luck, unlike those sold by the Star Heaven Dao Sect, which were guaranteed until the next Beidou Conference.
Heavenly and earthly treasures, millennium spirit plants, and ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs were solid hard currency and couldn’t be faked. But these cultivation technique tomes were different; it all depended on your discernment.
For the techniques traded at this exchange, once the transaction was completed, there would be no returns or exchanges if any issues were found afterwards.
Chen Mobai briefly looked at the three books Mo Douguang bought and didn’t say much.
“I’ll stroll around the outer area, where things are cheaper. Maybe I’ll hit the jackpot there.”
Mo Douguang said, only realizing after arriving at the Beidou Conference how useful Spirit Stones were. In the Eastern Wilderness, he had always considered himself a low-consumption cultivator, uninterested in most things. It was only here that he realized it was because there were no good items back in the Eastern Wilderness.
“I’ll keep browsing here, and then I’ll come find you outside.”
After Mo Douguang left, Chen Mobai wandered among the stone platforms and found quite a few good things.
For instance, on the stone platform belonging to the Heavenly Thunder Sect of the West Continent, there was half a genuine immortal book jade slip containing a powerful thunder method. However, it only included the part on controlling and casting Immortal Thunder; the crucial part on condensing and refining Immortal Thunder was missing.
Yet even so, this half jade slip still attracted the attention of over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators.
Chen Mobai even saw Xing Chen from the Star Heaven Dao Sect among them.
“This half immortal book jade slip of our sect was bestowed by the Eastern Emperor Court. Our sect’s patriarch, the Great Thunder Immortal, was born with a lightning spiritual body. After his cultivation achieved great success, his primordial spirit commanded tens of thousands of thunders, so he didn’t need the content of the first half.”
“We are not here to sell this half jade slip. If any of you can offer a thunder method unknown to our sect, or spiritual objects greatly beneficial for body forging, you are welcome to comprehend it once.”
“If anyone can provide the other half, we are willing to pay a hefty price.”
The stone platform of the Heavenly Thunder Sect was presided over by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and after listening for a while, Chen Mobai understood their intention.
Before long, many Nascent Soul cultivators came forward to negotiate, but only two were given the opportunity to comprehend the immortal book jade slip.
One of them was Xing Chen.
The Heavenly Thunder Zen Temple would give each person a day to comprehend the slip.
Seeing Xing Chen walk out reluctantly, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but walk over to greet him and inquire for information.
“Sect Master Chen…”
Xing Chen greeted Chen Mobai politely and then mentioned that the spiritual object he paid for comprehension was the complete bones of a fourth-rank peak demonic beast, which, when boiled, significantly supplemented body forging.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was moved. If he remembered correctly, Qing Nu still had the corpse of the Poisonous Dragon Ancestor, which was sealed due to its multicolored python’s venom.
He wondered if the Heavenly Thunder Sect would accept it.
“Why wouldn’t they? For most cultivators, venomous demonic beasts are taboo, but for body refining cultivators like them, it is a great supplement. They need these poisonous substances to stimulate their bodies to make crucial breakthroughs.”
Xing Chen immediately replied.
“Unfortunately, I’m not interested in thunder methods.”
But after thinking about it, Chen Mobai still shook his head.
He was merely a bit curious about the immortal book jade slip.
“Then perhaps Sect Master Chen could sell me the bones of your Poisonous Dragon?”
At this moment, Xing Chen offered a suggestion. He was cultivating the Star Thunder Method and was nearing its completion. If he wanted to reach Divinity Transformation, he needed to visit the Star Temple or study a Rank-5 Thunder Method.
Among these, even someone as remarkable as Xing Ji got nowhere in the Star Temple, let alone Xing Chen.
Thus, his eyes were set on the Rank-5 Thunder Method. This Heavenly Thunder Zen Sect’s Immortal Thunder Jade Slip was a guiding immortal book for him.
A day of comprehension was simply too short for Xing Chen as he had studied his sect’s immortal book jade slip that recorded the Three Lights Divine Water. He hoped to gather more resources to exchange for more time.
“Well… that’s certainly negotiable!”
Chen Mobai considered and didn’t refuse.
After all, the Star Heaven Dao Sect had gathered many good things at this Beidou Conference, and there might be something he needed, such as the Nine Yang True Fire Stone.
