Chapter 1654
Purchase
After lowering his head and recalling the matter carefully, Li Zhirui suddenly remembered!
Isn't this the strange creature that once bewitched a large number of chaotic beasts into killing each other, but whose own strength is quite weak?!
He had previously guessed that it must have broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, which was why the void at the Profound Immortal level had returned to calm.
Now it seems he wasn't wrong, he just didn't expect to encounter it in the Chaos Merchant Guild.
Fortunately, Li Zhirui didn't look at it for too long, and once he remembered, he immediately looked away. Moreover, there were people coming and going on the street, so he wasn't discovered.
'After breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, its methods of bewitching people must have become much stronger, right?'
He suddenly realized that if no one could see through its methods, the Golden Immortal level void would likely never be peaceful in the future.
However, this has little to do with him, and it's even less likely that he will reveal its true nature.
Besides, even if I told them, it's not certain that anyone would believe me.
So Li Zhirui pretended not to know anything and continued to wander around the Chamber of Commerce.
To be honest, having enough spirit crystals in hand makes me feel much more confident when visiting the merchant guild.
His first stop was a shop that specialized in selling spirit seeds, claiming that as long as you had spirit crystals, you could sell any spirit seed at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
At first, Li Zhirui didn't pay attention to this statement, thinking it was just an exaggerated publicity stunt to attract attention.
But when he actually entered the shop, the first thing he saw was a spirit seed the size of an infant's fist, placed right in the center and sealed with various spirit-sealing restrictions.
The aura it exuded was that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal!
'This is such a waste!' A look of hatred and regret flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes.
Most spiritual objects, even with the best spirit-sealing restrictions, will inevitably lose their spirituality over time!
As for spiritual beings like spirit seeds, in addition to their spirituality, their vitality will gradually dissipate.
This is why the longer a spiritual seed has been stored, the harder it is for it to germinate. And even if it does germinate, it is more susceptible to disease during its subsequent growth, making it difficult to grow and mature.
But that spirit seed wasn't actually his, so Li Zhirui could only think about it in his heart and couldn't actually say it out loud.
"Welcome, esteemed guest. What kind of spirit seed would you like?"
A waiter from the Celestial Immortal Realm greeted them with a smile, saying, "If you don't have a specific goal, you can tell me which type of spiritual seed you want, and I will explain it to you in detail."
"Are there any spiritual seeds that can help me comprehend the laws, improve my cultivation, and increase my chances of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm?" Li Zhirui directly stated the type of spiritual object that he, or most Xuan Immortals, would want.
"some!"
This question not only failed to stump the other party, but also made the smile on the guy's face even brighter.
Because these types of spirit seeds are all quite expensive, especially those that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, which are among the most expensive spirit seeds!
The more he sells, the more commission he gets; how could he not be happy?
"Honored guest, this way please."
The waiter led Li Zhirui into a private room and began to introduce him to various spiritual seeds that met his requirements.
"The Heavenly Profound Enlightenment Fruit Spirit Seed will mature in just five thousand years after planting, producing nine fruits at a time. However, only the first three fruits are the most effective. The more fruits you consume, the less effective they become. After nine fruits, they have no effect whatsoever."
In addition, he introduced several other spiritual seeds that can help with enlightenment, such as the more common Enlightenment Tea. Its effects may not be as good, but it is long-lasting and has no limit on the number of times it can be taken.
"Take one spirit seed each of the Heavenly Profound Enlightenment Fruit and the Enlightenment Tea."
After listening, Li Zhirui quickly made a decision.
“Okay, then I will continue to tell you about the spiritual seeds that can improve cultivation.”
To put it simply, consuming spiritual items can quickly increase or refine one's magical power, saving cultivation time.
Of course, compared to elixirs, spiritual items are still somewhat less effective.
Li Zhirui's purpose in purchasing the spirit seeds was to cultivate them into spirit objects so that he could use them to deduce elixir formulas.
After all, compared to a pill formula, the price of a spirit seed is much cheaper.
Although there are tens of millions of spirit crystals involved, we should still be frugal where possible.
Spiritual Mixed Fruit, Daoist Ginseng, Bright Dharma Flower...
Compared to the Enlightenment Seeds, this type of Seed is much more numerous.
The man rattled off twenty or thirty kinds of spirit seeds in one breath, and provided detailed explanations of their advantages and disadvantages for reference.
For example, there is a spiritual object called the Void Dao Spirit Fruit. Its advantage is that it can generate a large amount of magic power, and it is quite pure. However, its disadvantages are also very significant. It takes too long to mature, three or four times longer than other spiritual objects of the same kind, and it is also more difficult to cultivate.
Although Li Zhirui has not yet encountered any spiritual creatures that he cannot grow, the problem of their long growth time is rather troublesome.
But considering its advantages, he still bought a few, figuring he could just use spirit crystals to accelerate their growth later.
In addition, he also bought several other spiritual seeds, all of which were good at increasing magical power.
"As for the spiritual item that you wish to obtain to increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, our shop currently only has one, called the Azure Water Jade Crystal Fruit. As long as the creature is not a fire-elemental cultivator, it will be effective after consumption."
After a pause, the shopkeeper continued, "However, this price is rather expensive, requiring eight million spirit crystals."
Although Li Zhirui's previous actions gave the impression that he did not lack spirit crystals, the price of this one spirit seed alone was almost the same as the spirit seeds he had purchased before.
Therefore, some things should be said to avoid arguing later, which would make both sides lose face.
He didn't find the question offensive, and simply asked, "How many spirit crystals in total?"
"Because you are a distinguished guest of the Chaos Merchant Guild, you can enjoy a 10% discount, bringing the total to 19,350,000 spirit crystals." The shopkeeper's voice trembled as he announced this number.
He will receive an extremely generous commission from this transaction!
As for how he became a distinguished guest, it was naturally because the spiritual items he sold were so expensive that his status was automatically upgraded.
Li Zhirui nodded, took out the spirit crystal card, placed it in the card slot-shaped magic artifact, and then used his divine sense to confirm the transaction information. The corresponding number of spirit crystals were then transferred out.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest, the spirit seeds you purchased will be delivered shortly!"
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
"By the way, esteemed guests don't need to worry about planting issues, because all spirit seeds purchased from our store come with corresponding planting techniques as a gift."
The shopkeeper reminded him, "At the same time, the spirit seeds you purchased can be bred on your own, but the bred spirit seeds cannot be sold within the Chamber of Commerce."
As for leaving the Wanbao Palace and trading in the void, that's no problem.
He didn't say it, but everyone could hear it.
After all, even the Chaos Merchant Guild doesn't have the ability to monitor the entire void.
However, private transactions involve certain risks, such as falling into an ambush or buying fake spirit seeds.
Before long, someone brought in the spirit seed and the corresponding cultivation method.
"Honorable guest, please check the quantity of spirit seeds. If there are no problems, you can accept them."
Li Zhirui was not careless or hasty, because even if these spirit seeds were of low value, they would still cost two or three hundred thousand spirit crystals to buy.
After carefully checking each one and confirming there were no problems, all the spirit seeds were safely stored away. They would then be placed into the spatial dimension for planting after leaving the Wanbao Hall.
"Does our distinguished guest require any other spiritual seeds?"
"No more for now."
After saying that, Li Zhirui got up and left the shop.
He had also considered whether to look into Golden Immortal-level spirit seeds, and if the price was right, he would buy some in advance to cultivate.
But in the end, he gave up on the idea.
It's not just because of the price; the spiritual energy in the space is already barely enough. If we were to plant Golden Immortal-level spiritual plants, the spiritual energy would definitely be insufficient.
"You're really lucky, kid, to actually stumble upon such a big deal." In the spirit seed shop, several shop assistants gathered around, laughing and joking.
The guy just grinned foolishly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Because of things that would make others envious, it's best to keep a low profile and avoid provoking them.
Moreover, they will quickly lose interest, make a couple of jokes, and leave.
……
the other side.
After leaving the spirit seed shop, Li Zhirui went to another shop not far away, but it no longer sold spirit seeds, but various magic methods.
The shelves in the shop were filled with a dazzling array of jade slips in great quantities.
"What does our distinguished guest require? Supernatural powers, secret techniques, or cultivation methods?"
The waiter asked questions while leading the way, guiding Li Zhirui into a private room.
Compared to other methods, the Dharma is relatively private.
"You can rest assured, esteemed guest, that we will absolutely not disclose any information about you." The waiter had spoken up beforehand, fearing that the guest might have concerns.
In this matter, Li Zhirui still trusted the Chaos Chamber of Commerce.
It might be because of the good impression that senior Wan Zhu gave him when he first came in.
So he didn't hesitate and directly stated his needs, saying, "I need methods related to the laws of purification, as well as offensive and defensive divine abilities of the Water and Wood elements. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Purification Law..."
The shopkeeper frowned. He was a man of considerable experience, but this was the first time he had ever seen anyone need the Purification Law.
For a moment, he couldn't recall the location of the relevant jade slip.
After making several mistakes, I finally found the location of the jade slip.
However, the quantity was pitifully small, only nine jade slips!
Such a small number of jade slips is rare even in the entire shop.
Ultimately, the Law of Purification is a rare law, and naturally, there is much less content related to it.
As for the offensive and defensive supernatural abilities of the Water and Wood paths, the problem isn't a scarcity, but rather an abundance of them, leaving us unsure how to best recommend them.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought several jade slips to Li Zhirui.
"Distinguished guest, these jade slips should meet your requirements. You can preview some of them first. If you find them unsuitable, you can return them to me directly."
He simply nodded and then used his divine sense to probe inside the jade slip.
The preview only contains a small overview at the very beginning.
But even with just this little bit of information, you can roughly guess what the specific content will be, and thus determine whether it will be useful to you.
The first thing Li Zhirui looked at were the jade slips about the laws of purification, and then he quickly withdrew his divine sense.
Judging from his slightly furrowed brows, it was clear that he wasn't very satisfied with these jade slips, but considering that there were only nine jade slips and the price wasn't too expensive, he ultimately decided to buy them.
As for the supernatural abilities of the Water and Wood paths, not only are there a great many, but the types are also extremely rich, dazzling the eyes and making it difficult to choose for a while.
Ultimately, it was based on this fellow's recommendation that Li Zhirui, after careful consideration, chose five supernatural abilities, including two offensive supernatural abilities and two defensive supernatural abilities.
The remaining one is an auxiliary supernatural power, which can be used to investigate situations from a distance, and is a very useful supernatural power.
"Distinguished guest, the techniques you have purchased are all forbidden to be passed on! If any violation occurs, the restrictions will be automatically activated, and you will no longer be able to use them."
Before finalizing the deal, the guy gave a heads-up.
"I know."
Soon, these jade slips came into the possession of Li Zhirui.
After obtaining the jade slip, he got up and left the shop, but then returned to the spirit seed shop.
"Distinguished guest, what kind of spirit seed would you like?"
But to his surprise, as soon as Li Zhirui entered, several employees crowded around him, saying things with fawning expressions.
This scene made him frown. It seemed that they all knew about his previous purchase of spirit seeds with a large amount of spirit crystals, otherwise they wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
"I don't need you. Do you have any Xuanxian-grade spirit vine seeds in the shop?" he asked the shop assistant who hadn't come over.
"Yes, there are five types: Shadow Vines with unpredictable attack methods, Vajra Vines with amazing defensive capabilities, and Silk Vines with exceptional resilience..."
After thinking it over, Li Zhirui decided to buy a few of each kind of spirit vine seed and plant them, then cultivate them slowly on his own.
With these spirit vines, his strength will also increase significantly.
The amount of spirit crystals involved in the transaction wasn't too much, and after the money and goods were exchanged, he left the shop.
Next, Li Zhirui planned to wander around the Chamber of Commerce, especially the stall area, to see if he could find any treasures there.
……
Just as Li Zhirui was buying up all sorts of spiritual items and techniques, a small commotion arose within the Chaos Merchant Guild because of the large number of chaotic spiritual items he had previously sold.
"How come there are so many chaotic spirit objects all of a sudden?"
The steward in charge of inventorying the stock discovered that dozens more Chaos Spiritual Items had suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Then, after further investigation, it was discovered that most of these spiritual objects were in the hands of one person!
He naturally wouldn't dare to spread such private information about guests casually, but it was fine to chat about it with a few close butlers.
"real or fake?"
But their first reaction was doubt! (End of Chapter)
