Chapter 81
Obtaining the Seed of Divine Power, Killing Intent Approaches!
Although Tianxuan City is not as prosperous as Tianxing City, it is still quite lively, with wide streets and people coming and going.
This was the first time Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er had gone out shopping since joining Tianxing Martial Academy.
There were many snacks made with spiritual materials on the street. They were inexpensive but very delicious, and Yun Meng'er enjoyed them very much.
Even though neither of them lacks spirit stones now, Yun Meng'er still haggles when she buys things, and she'll be overjoyed if she loses even one spirit stone.
Qin Yi accompanied Yun Meng'er for a while.
Unfortunately, he did not sense the communication method he had agreed upon with the Blood Butcher.
The Bloodthirsty Swordsman hasn't arrived yet.
"Junior Brother Qin!"
A familiar voice rang out.
"Senior Brother Feng," Qin Yi called out with a smile.
It was Feng Ao.
"Alright, stop calling me senior brother. You're a core disciple now, while I'm just an ordinary disciple. Your cultivation level is also higher than mine, so I'm the junior brother now," Feng Ao said with a smile.
Yun Meng'er blinked and said, "Brother Qin, Senior Brother Feng, you two are already so close, so don't be so polite."
Qin Yi nodded: "Meng'er is right. Then I'll call you Brother Feng from now on."
Feng Ao said, "Brother Qin!"
To be honest, Feng Ao even wanted to call him brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, her older sister was not up to the task and failed to win over Qin Yi.
"Senior Brother Feng, what brings you here?" Yun Meng'er asked.
Feng Ao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You didn't know?"
"I thought you guys were just here for the fun of it."
"What's all the commotion about?" Yun Meng'er asked curiously.
Qin Yi: "Meng'er and I just suddenly had a whim to come and see Tianxuan City."
Feng Ao said, "I see. In the past few days, a Wanbao Market has opened in Tianxuan City. Many people from Tianxing Martial Academy bring out some things they don't need to sell."
"And people from outside also come here to sell things."
"There are all sorts of random things in there. Yesterday I spent 10,000 yuan stones to buy a piece of ore that looked pretty good, but after I took it back and had someone help me examine it carefully, I found out that it was a fake and was only worth 50 yuan stones at most."
"But some people spent a few hundred yuan stones and actually found a great bargain, discovering treasures worth tens of thousands of yuan stones."
"That's why I'm here today to settle accounts with the guy who sold me counterfeit goods!"
Yun Meng'er: "Did you find it?"
Feng Ao muttered, "I found it, but it's useless... Wanbao Market has a rule that after a transaction, the buyer bears all profits and losses..."
Qin Yi noticed that Yun Meng'er was already very excited and clearly wanted to go sightseeing, so he said, "Brother Feng, Meng'er and I would like to go take a look. Since you are quite familiar with the area, why don't you show us the way?"
Feng Ao nodded: "Okay, I don't have anything else to do anyway."
After a while.
The three arrived at Wanbao Market.
It's absolutely packed with people.
The sounds of hawking, haggling, and even arguing rose and fell.
"Don't miss out! Our ancestral alchemical formulas are used to refine various types of pills—absolutely great value!"
"Family members, I've lowered the price of the magical artifacts today!"
"Last three days! Last three days! Clearance sale! Everything is only 10 spirit stones! You won't regret it! You'll make a profit!"
"A powerful tonic pill containing one hundred spirit stones; men who take it will be as vigorous as dragons, and women will be as supple as water!"
Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er strolled around for a while. Yun Meng'er tried to bargain everywhere, even managing to reduce the price of items that were initially priced at tens of thousands of yuan stones to just a few dozen yuan stones, but she just wouldn't buy them.
Purely exhilarating.
Several stall owners were so angry they jumped up and down.
"Brother Qin, things here are so messy, I don't understand them. Let's leave and not waste spirit stones." Yun Meng'er had had her fill and was ready to leave.
Feng Ao also said, "This is just for fun; there's really nothing of value in it."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Then let's go."
But just as the three of them passed by a stall...
Ding Ye's voice echoed in Qin Yi's mind.
"Wait, there's a dark, unremarkable seed for a medicinal herb at that stall on the left. Buy it right away!"
Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and then he walked towards the stall.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks.
Watch as Qin Yi walked over.
Feng Ao hurriedly grabbed Qin Yi, saying, "Brother Qin, don't buy here! This guy is no good; he swindled me out of ten thousand spirit stones yesterday!"
He spoke through gritted teeth!
The stall owner immediately became displeased, saying, "Young man, you should speak with conscience. I didn't force you to buy yesterday. It's your own fault for having bad eyesight, not mine?"
"You already caused trouble once, what, you want to keep causing trouble?"
"Seriously, you're coming to me for a bad investment? If you made a profit, would you give me more Yuan Stones?"
Feng Aoqi was speechless.
Qin Yi smiled faintly and said, "Brother Feng, it's nothing, I'm just taking a look."
The weasel-faced stall owner grinned at Qin Yi and said, "Young man, just by looking at you, I can tell you have a full forehead and a calm, composed demeanor. You truly have the bearing of a dragon among men. Someone like you is bound to be protected by good fortune; you'll find treasures wherever you go..."
"That's what you told me yesterday too!" Feng Ao said.
Stall owner: "If I didn't say that, would you buy it?"
Feng Ao: "..."
At this moment, Qin Yi glanced at the black spiritual herb seed that Master Ding had reminded him of.
It's about the size of a melon seed, about the size of a fingertip.
But he immediately looked away and casually picked up a piece of ore from the stall.
"Young man, you have a good eye. This ore was passed down from my great-grandfather. Someone once offered me 100,000 yuan stones, but I wouldn't sell it. I see you have a connection with it, so I'll sell it to you for 120,000 yuan stones."
Qin Yi smiled faintly, put down the ore, and picked up a bottle of pills.
"This pill is a real treasure! After taking it, there's a chance to awaken a special physique... This is the last bottle, worth 150,000 spirit stones. If I awaken this physique, I'll be on my way to the pinnacle of life!"
Qin Yi remained silent, continuing to look at other things while mentally asking Master Ding, "What exactly are those seeds?"
Master Ding: "A seed of supernatural power!"
"These are the things left behind by a being with supernatural powers after its death."
"Normally, when a being with supernatural powers dies, it's extremely rare for even one in ten thousand to leave behind a seed of that power. The fact that you've encountered one is incredibly lucky!"
Supernatural powers?
Qin Yi's emotions were stirred for a moment.
Supernatural powers are a very special kind of ability, somewhat similar to various physical constitutions.
Moreover, nine out of ten people who possess supernatural powers are cultivators who focus on tempering their bodies. Only by tempering their physical bodies to an extremely high degree can they undergo a transformation and give birth to supernatural powers.
"Can I use the seeds of supernatural powers left behind by others?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Master Ding: "Of course you can, and it's very suitable for your current stage, because you are now at the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm and will soon open your cave heaven. Once you open your cave heaven, you can put the divine power seed into the cave heaven and irrigate it with your blood and qi, so that the divine power contained in the divine power seed can be released."
"With your talent, you should be able to develop supernatural powers after you open up your own world. But since there's one right here, why not take it? Buy it first!"
"good!"
Qin Yi selected a crystal that was entirely fiery red and asked, "How much is this?"
"This is Fire Glow Mystic Crystal, worth 30,000 Yuan Stones, young man, I'm really not overcharging!" the stall owner said sincerely.
Feng Ao: "Bullshit! This can't possibly be Fire Cloud Mystic Crystal!"
The stall owner glared at Feng Ao: "It's not like you're the one buying it, so why are you talking so much nonsense? Get out of the way and stop making a scene!"
Feng arrogantly rolled up his sleeves.
Yun Meng'er quickly stopped Feng Ao. Seeing that Qin Yi seemed interested in buying, she offered to help him bargain, saying, "We really want to buy it, so I'll give you a fixed price. What do you think?"
The stall owner said, "Of course, of course!"
Yun Meng'er: "Ten spirit stones, please."
The stall owner's face immediately darkened.
"Young lady, that's not how you bargain! This is firestone..."
Feng Ao: "You just said it was Fire Cloud Mystic Crystal!"
Stall owner: "...I misremembered, but Firestone costs a thousand Yuan Stones. Where can you buy it for ten Yuan Stones?"
Yun Meng'er: "One hundred!"
Stall owner: "The minimum is nine hundred, no less."
Yun Meng'er: "One hundred and one!"
Stall owner: "The starting price is eight hundred, little miss, can you add a bit more...?"
Yun Meng'er nodded and said, "Then let's make it 120."
The stall owner was so angry he laughed, saying, "I think you're just making fun of me. It'll cost at least five hundred. If you're not buying, then leave."
Qin Yi picked up a few more trinkets from the stall and said, "All of these together cost five hundred spirit stones. If you sell them, I'll give you the spirit stones immediately."
The stall owner rummaged through the crowd and took two more items, saying, "These are all for you, five hundred spirit stones. You can't take anything else."
Qin Yi took out five hundred spirit stones, then casually tossed the divine power seed and a few useless items into his storage ring.
Deal done, time to go.
The stall owner was still shaking his head and sighing, "What a loss, what a loss. Oh well, consider it a good deed done, sigh!"
After Qin Yi and his group had walked away, the stall owner chuckled, "A steal of three hundred!"
"Brother Qin, five hundred yuan stones is nothing, but we shouldn't let that unscrupulous merchant make money!" Feng Ao muttered to himself.
Qin Yi smiled faintly, about to speak.
Suddenly, his expression hardened.
A strong killing intent emanated from it, rapidly approaching him!
