Chapter 594: Chapter 386: Lamp Stand_2
This Mountain Suppression Stone is essential for setting up a formation that connects to the earth veins, and its value for a Rank-3 is over one hundred thousand spirit stones.
After appreciating various rare and exotic stones, Chen Mobai focused his attention on the Fire Character Shop.
There were many good things here.
However, what moved him the most was an intact Fire in Stone, equivalent to refined and sublimated Green-sun Fire, worth fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones.
After asking the people from the Star Heaven Commercial Union, he learned that this was drawn from authentic fire by their sect’s Gold Core elder, because the East Yu region was dominated by mountains and they could easily find spiritual mountains to refine the Fire in Stone.
Chen Mobai looked at his own savings and, due to his cultivation of the Pure Yang Body and other expenses over the years, he was left with only slightly over three thousand spirit stones.
However, he still had a raw spirit stone from the Lonely Spirit Ridge, equivalent to some thirty to forty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. But this wasn’t easy to deal with since all forces were extremely sensitive to spirit stone mines wherever they are.
With a sigh, Chen Mobai symbolically bid 5000 spirit stones for this Fire in Stone. After that, he lost interest in the other True Fires and turned to leave.
The Differently Characterized Shop was for spiritual objects corresponding to wind, thunder, ice, and other different spiritual roots. Since cultivators with different spiritual roots were rare, they were merged together.
Chen Mobai had a friend with an Ice Spirit Root, so he went in and wandered around, originally intending to buy a Cold Jade Snow Lotus that had been frozen after blooming as a spiritual object.
However, after some careful thought, if he gave Yan Bingxuan a gift and didn’t give one to Qing Nu, it would be somewhat inappropriate. And if he gave a gift to Qing Nu, not giving one to other closely acquainted women would definitely not be acceptable.
In the end, he decided not to give anyone a gift.
Equal treatment for all.
After his thoughts were clear, Chen Mobai nodded and left the Differently Characterized Shop.
The Pill Character Shop was crowded with people, and there were cultivators bidding on each bottle of elixir. As for the few rare elixir recipes, there was no need to mention them.
Chen Mobai glanced inside from the entrance and saw Liang Jinggui. He was having a heated argument with someone, who was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After watching for a while, he felt it was boring and went straight to the Beast Character Shop. There weren’t many people here, after all, Beast Tamers were not mainstream in the Eastern Wilderness.
Chen Mobai noticed that the beast guarding the shop was a Black Tortoise. It had just hatched but this Black Tortoise was one of the few spirit beasts in the Tianhe Realm that could live for over ten thousand years.
It was also known as the Millennium Tortoise.
Affluent Immortal Cultivation families and sects would all keep a Black Tortoise because once this spirit beast grows up, due to its lazy nature, it generally does not wish to change its dwelling place. Even if the tamer died, it would still be willing to protect his descendants.
Moreover, the first Ascended Monk, Mother of Water, in the recorded history of the Tianhe Realm, had a Black Tortoise spirit beast. It was with the help of this spirit beast’s water control abilities that she was able to finally regulate the three-element water vein of heaven and earth and establish the Tianhe Dao Dynasty.
So, this Black Tortoise cub was in high demand, and Chen Mobai even ran into Fu Xiuzuo here.
“Junior Brother Chen, are you interested in this Black Tortoise too?”
“Not at all, I’m just browsing.”
Chen Mobai shook his head. He knew nothing about Beast Taming. The only Sky Snake he had contracted was kept for rearing.
Moreover, this Black Tortoise grew extremely slowly. If it reached Rank-3, it would take at least a thousand years. In a place like the Eastern Wilderness where conflicts were intense, there was simply no time for it to grow.
“I’ve bid two thousand spirit stones. If I can buy it, it’s worth it.”
Fu Xiuzuo didn’t hide anything from Chen Mobai either. The two chatted in the shop for a while before saying their goodbyes.
Chen Mobai then went to the Formation Character Shop, but he only had a cursory understanding of formations, so he left after just a quick look.
Finally, he came to the Strange Character Shop.
This was where the Star Day Commercial Union appraised their purchases; there were many cultivators lining up.
Some Loose Cultivators even looked nervous, as if the items they had were extremely valuable.
Aside from appraisal, there were also some treasures that even the Star Day Commercial Union couldn’t identify on display, and people could bid on these items.
Of course, if someone could help with the appraisal, the Star Day Commercial Union was willing to give an appraisal fee.
This feeling of being able to pick up bargains in the hands of the Star Day Commercial Union excited many cultivators.
However, many Loose Cultivators who spent spirit stones to buy unidentified treasures ended up with useless items. So over time, although there were many people appraising treasures, those who managed to pick up bargains were very few.
Chen Mobai walked in and casually strolled around. Halfway through, he was standing still, staring at something that looked like a lamp holder in a transparent box.
This thing seems to be a set with that five-colored Lotus Lamp.
In the past, Chen Mobai had obtained a mysterious five-colored Lotus Lamp after killing the Daoist Feimeng in the Lonely Spirit Ridge. After his appraisal over the years, he found that it should be an incomplete Rank-3 magic artifact.
It lacked a lamp holder and the method to light the lamp wick.
If this lamp holder truly matches the five-colored Lotus Lamp, then Chen Mobai will have his second Rank-3 magic artifact.
Without showing any emotion, he requested a cultivator of the Star Heaven Commercial Union and made a bid of 100 spirit stones for four treasure objects filled with spiritual energy, including the lamp holder.
“Senior, do you know the origin of these four items? If you are willing to tell, we are willing to pay a fee of 50 spirit stones for each piece.”
The cultivator from the Star Heaven Commercial Union asked routinely, which was met with a shake of Chen Mobai’s head.
