Chapter 702: Chapter 245: Void Fluctuations (Part 4)
"Dear customer, what kind of magical artifact are you looking for?"
The shop assistant warmly welcomed Lin Zheyu upon his arrival.
Apart from Lin Zheyu, there were several other cultivators browsing for magical artifacts in the shop.
"I’m looking for sword-type magical artifacts, do you have any related introductions?"
Lin Zheyu asked.
"Yes, please follow me, sir."
The assistant respectfully replied.
He was a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, and in the man’s perception, the one in front of him had no mana fluctuations detectable on him.
He appeared just like an ordinary person.
You have to understand that this is a cultivation marketplace, a remnant of a grotto heaven, and besides the staff, almost all here are cultivators.
This situation indicates that this man’s strength is far above his own.
Lin Zheyu took a seat at the nearby table.
After a short while, the assistant brought over a square jade scroll about the size of a baby’s palm.
"All the sword-type magical artifacts in our store are recorded in this jade scroll, please have a look." The assistant said respectfully.
Lin Zheyu nonchalantly received the jade scroll.
It was his first time seeing a cultivator’s jade scroll.
Though immensely curious, Lin Zheyu did not show it on his face.
He cast out his spiritual sense, which entered the jade scroll.
Instantly, all the information about the sword-type magical artifacts flowed into Lin Zheyu’s mind.
The introductions were extremely detailed, showcasing the forging materials, inscribed arrays, weapons’ grades, and so on.
"Indeed, the jade scroll is much more convenient than paper records," Lin Zheyu thought secretly.
The high price is justified after all.
Such jade scrolls capable of recording information are quite expensive.
Among the cultivators doing business, some specifically sell these jade scrolls, with each costing at least five spirit stones.
According to the vendor, the ore used to forge jade scrolls, like the spirit stones, is contaminated by the power of Yin Sha.
To remove the Yin Sha power without damaging the information-recording ability of the jade scroll is extremely difficult.
Thus, the price of jade scrolls is much higher than anticipated.
Only those with ample wealth or those recording precious information and knowledge would use jade scrolls.
Lin Zheyu had previously seized many storage bags but had not seen a single jade scroll.
"So expensive..."
Lin Zheyu carefully read the introduction of the magical artifacts in the jade scroll and couldn’t help muttering to himself.
The cheapest magical artifacts start at ten spirit stones.
"They’re indeed impressive, but not what I want,"
Lin Zheyu showed a look of regret and shook his head ruefully.
"Sir, may I know what kind of magical artifact you are looking for? Let me help you have a look."
"Dear customer..."
"Ah, dear customer..."
Despite the assistant’s attempts to retain him, Lin Zheyu left without looking back.
Although the magical artifacts sold in the shop are guaranteed in quality and the chances of being deceived are low, they are also quite expensive.
Exiting Seven Skill Pavilion, Lin Zheyu continued to browse leisurely.
He unashamedly entered various shops.
Though he didn’t buy anything, by observing the introductions to various magical artifacts, elixirs, and arrays, Lin Zheyu could increase his understanding of cultivator techniques.
Knowing oneself and one’s enemies is the key to a hundred victories.
"Cultivators’ techniques truly are dazzling."
"Alas, crude martial artists..."
After exiting a talisman shop, Lin Zheyu sighed softly.
Compared to the endless magical artifacts, divine techniques, talismans, and arrays of cultivators, martial dao seemed utterly crude.
The thought of cultivating immortality, which Lin Zheyu had just dismissed, almost resurfaced.
However, thinking about the quota needed just for progressing to the Golden Core and the likely similar constraints at later stages, Lin Zheyu decided against it.
"The best way to evade the various strange techniques of cultivators is to enhance perception capabilities,"
Lin Zheyu pondered silently.
Martial dao methods are relatively simple, and facing the myriad strange techniques of cultivators, only by enhancing perception can one largely avoid falling into traps.
Fortunately, he possesses a perception domain.
In some aspects, the perception domain is even more profound than spiritual sense.
When using a teleportation array, the perception domain can sense the mystical spatial fluctuations that the spiritual sense of a cultivator cannot.
This is the power of the perception domain.
As long as it continues to improve, there is a great chance it will evolve to surpass the capabilities of divine sense.
"Having learned enough, it’s time to sell off those useless storage bags, materials, magical artifacts, and such,"
Lin Zheyu said to himself.
Passing by a certain alleyway, Lin Zheyu turned and entered it.
After a slight transformation in his appearance and change of clothing, he emerged again.
