Moon Blade Meteor Wheel

Chapter 29 Moon Blade Meteor Wheel

Zhou Chun's capital wasn't particularly abundant.

That is fifty-seven spirit coins, plus a two-hundred-year-old red Ganoderma lucidum, a one-hundred-year-old Polygonatum odoratum, and two one-hundred-year-old Scrophularia ningpoensis.

Excluding spirit coins, the four spirit herbs together are worth a little over three hundred on the market.

However, these things are at least enough to prove that he can indeed afford a first-grade high-quality magic weapon.

Therefore, after inspecting what he brought, the pale-faced middle-aged man said nothing more and quickly took out two wooden boxes from his storage bag, opened them one by one, and introduced them.

"The magical artifact is named [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel]. It is made of steel silver and black iron and was crafted by a master craftsman using pure earth fire for seven days and seven nights. It has the characteristics of sharpness and armor-piercing. It can be split into two, which can be transformed into two moon blades to attack enemies and protect oneself respectively. It can also be combined into one blade and used as a wheel to fight enemies. The price is 370 spirit coins."

"The magical artifact is called the Wind and Fire Fan. It is made from the feathers and bones of the second-tier demon beast Wind and Fire Kite and crafted by a master craftsman. When it is swung, it can unleash a series of wind blades and fireballs to attack the enemy. It is priced at 430 spirit coins."

At this point, the pale-faced middle-aged man cupped his hands to Zhou Chun and said, "Greetings, esteemed guest. These are all the first-tier high-grade attack magic weapons that our shop currently has in stock."

First-grade high-quality magic artifacts are not easy to sell. Even a large store like Tianbao Pavilion is lucky to sell two or three a month, so they don't usually keep too many in stock.

But Tianbao Pavilion is Tianbao Pavilion after all. Apart from the [Golden Goose Blade], which is relatively ordinary, the other magical artifacts that the pale-faced middle-aged man took out were all rare treasures. Each one made Zhou Chun's mouth water and he really wanted them.

Unfortunately, his limited funds only allowed him to choose one item, and he also had to exclude the two magical artifacts that cost over four hundred spirit coins.

After gazing at the magical artifacts for a long time, Zhou Chun finally pointed to one of the wooden boxes and said, "Let's choose the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel]. It suits my taste perfectly, so I'll pick that one!"

Upon hearing this, the pale-faced middle-aged man immediately smiled and praised, "Fellow Daoist has excellent eyesight. This item is both offensive and defensive. With your cultivation level, you could even fight against a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!"

Then he put the other magical artifacts into his storage bag, leaving only the wooden box containing the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] artifact on the table.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun pushed forward the items he had used to buy magical artifacts and calmly said, "Three hundred and seventy spirit coins. With these spiritual herbs and these spirit coins, I should be able to exchange them, right?"

"It's enough, but are you sure you want to exchange these pure spiritual herbs for magical artifacts?"

The pale-faced middle-aged man looked at the several medicinal herbs on the table with shifting eyes, seemingly harboring some concerns.

"What? Is Steward Liu worried that there's something wrong with my elixir?"

Zhou Chun raised an eyebrow, then patted his chest and assured them, "You can rest assured about that. I am a direct descendant of the Zhou family of Nine Peaks Ridge. These spiritual herbs were dug up from the sect's herb garden when the Three Absolutes Sect migrated. They are absolutely genuine spiritual herbs, without a trace of impure energy!"

Upon hearing him introduce himself and explain the origin of his items, the pale-faced middle-aged man's eyes immediately sharpened. He then quickly smiled, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "So you are a cultivator from the Zhou family of spirit beasts. My apologies for not recognizing you."

After saying that, he nodded and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou can assure you that there is no problem with the spiritual medicine, then this deal is done. This [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] is now yours, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Then he pushed the wooden box containing the magical artifacts in front of Zhou Chun.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately put the wooden box into his storage bag, then laughed heartily and said, "Manager Liu is so generous. Well then, we'll meet again sometime in the future."

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Zhou. We welcome you to visit our Tianbao Pavilion again in the future."

As the pale-faced middle-aged man spoke, he got up and escorted Zhou Chun to the door.

After confirming that Zhou Chun had left Tianbao Pavilion, the middle-aged man with a pale face returned to the quiet room. Looking at the wooden boxes containing spiritual herbs on the table, he narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he muttered to himself, "Do you think there might be more spiritual herbs in his storage bag? Although the Three Absolutes Sect is far inferior to our sect, it is still a sect that has been passed down for more than 1,700 years. Even if there are no thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in its spiritual herb garden, there should be quite a few spiritual herbs that are several hundred years old."

It appears they are conversing with some mysterious being.

Not long after he finished speaking, a slightly aged voice reached his ears.

"Perhaps he does still have some medicinal herbs in his storage bag that he hasn't taken out, but he definitely doesn't have any medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old."

"The number of each of those spiritual herbs is limited. The Three Absolutes Sect didn't flee in disarray after its gates were breached. Unless the disciples are fools, they wouldn't dare touch those high-level spiritual herbs under the noses of the sect's high-ranking cultivators!"

Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned middle-aged man nodded slightly, seemingly in agreement.

Then he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "So, in your opinion, should we release the news?"

"You can decide that yourself. I don't know anything about it."

The aged voice rang in his ears again, but it made him curse inwardly.

Those damned old bastards are so greedy and cowardly. They only want to take the benefits and avoid any trouble. They only think about good things!

No matter how much he cursed in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.

He just lowered his head, looking hesitant, unable to make a decision.

After a long while, he shook his head with a regretful expression and said, "Then let's forget about it. The Zhou family of Jiufengling has only recently established themselves in Lanzhou, and their vigilance is at its highest right now. It's hard to say whether that kid was just bait they threw out to test the various forces!"

This time, however, no reply was received.

This made him curse inwardly again, and he sat down and drank several large mouthfuls of tea to suppress the anger in his heart.

On the other side, after leaving Tianbao Pavilion, Zhou Chun went directly to the market inn and opened a cultivation room.

After entering the sealed training room, Zhou Chun took out the wooden box and burned it with fire, along with the coat and underwear he was wearing.

This is naturally done to prevent being marked and tracked by others.

In the cultivation world, there are countless methods for tracking objects and people by leaving marks through drugs and magic; Zhou Chun himself knows of more than a dozen.

Although Tianbaoge is a well-established and reputable store, one should always be wary of unscrupulous people.

It's hard to guarantee that the pale-faced middle-aged man won't tamper with him, and then have someone find him, kill him, and rob him after he leaves the market.

It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to these kinds of things; you can't be too careless.

After watching the wooden box and clothes burn to ashes, Zhou Chun repeatedly searched himself with his divine sense to make sure he found nothing unusual before changing into new clothes.

Then he looked at the silver-black circular ritual implement next to him, which was about a foot in diameter when put together, and immediately raised his hand to grasp the handle in the middle and lifted it up.

This thing is actually not as heavy as it looks, probably less than ten pounds. Zhou Chun could lift it with one hand without much effort.

After carefully examining the ritual implement, he discovered that it could actually be hung up and carried on his back, but a carrying frame would be needed.

But let alone carrying this round magical artifact, Zhou Chun had hardly ever seen any cultivators carrying swords or knives.

Therefore, it's more appropriate to keep it in a storage bag.

After examining it for a while, Zhou Chun began to refine the magic weapon.

Such magical artifacts purchased from shops, regardless of whether they had a previous owner, will have their original owner's spiritual imprint and residual aura completely erased, making it easier for the new owner to refine them.

Therefore, Zhou Chun spent less than an hour refining and becoming familiar with the use of the magic weapon, and was extremely satisfied with the power of this new magic weapon.

After getting a little familiar with how to use the new magical artifact, Zhou Chun, who had already emptied his wallet, finally embarked on his journey home.

However, after leaving the market this time, Zhou Chun did not repeat the same trick and continue to use his flying artifact to traverse the Red Rock Mountains from high above.

He dared to use that method before because flying towards Red Cliff Market would make him easily spotted by the guards inside, and he could then meditate and recover his magic power within the market.

However, his previous actions had already exposed him. If he used this method again when leaving, there was no guarantee that some powerful bandits who also possessed flying artifacts would take to the air and hunt him down.

In comparison, while leaving the ground also carries risks, the risk of encountering extremely powerful bandits is undoubtedly much smaller.

Moreover, Zhou Chun, who recently acquired a first-grade high-quality magic weapon, is actually no weaker than two or three ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Ordinary bandit cultivators might not even have the ability to defeat him.
