Chapter 194: 108~109: The spiritual tea boils when the fire in the golden stove runs out, magic artifacts are hard to find and are as precious as gold and stone (two-in-one for monthly tickets) _2 Chapter 194: 108~109: The spiritual tea boils when the fire in the golden stove runs out, magic artifacts are hard to find and are as precious as gold and stone (two-in-one for monthly tickets) _2 In the end, all Chen Dengming had to do was part with one hundred and forty medium-quality spirit stones, for which he got two second-grade low-level magic artifacts.
Currently, he only had a little over forty medium-quality spirit stones on hand.
However, after selling some of the magic artifacts he previously gained from the fish cultivator, and adding in his discarded Light Reflecting Mirror and other items he needed to sell, he could just meet the costs for crafting.
“I once thought I was wealthy amongst Qi cultivators, until I suddenly became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator….”
Chen Dengming returned to his cave-estate, hands stuffed in his pockets, pacing around, frowning with worry, and feeling a vast wealth disparity.
He had felt it clearly during his conversation with the He female cultivator.
Her casual mention of the cost of high-quality spirit stones wasn’t an intentional display of wealth, yet these plain comments were heart-wrenchingly cutting.
Thereby, he was able to discern that this Artifact Refining Master was wealthy, a combination of beauty, wealth and strength among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
...
Perhaps only the Deputy Sect Leader Liang, a Great Cultivator of the False Core Level within the sect, could afford to buy gifts for marriage if they wanted to pair with the He female cultivator.
But if they could afford the gifts, and if the He female cultivator approved, then it would be quite a profitable deal.
“Now I have to figure out a way to sell all the magic artifacts in my hands, convert all to spirit stones.
If I’m still short of spirit stones, I might have to learn spirit writings, make money by writing Daoist scripts.”
Now he had already mastered many Daoist scripts to the Master Level, and could start learning spirit writings.
He could incorporate his own spiritual thoughts and understandings of Daoism into empty jade tokens for selling.
However, he had heard that the process was quite arduous as it wore out spirit and mental power.
It was like manual labor, earning hard-earned money, so he had never considered it before.
But now, in order to get powerful magic artifacts and upgrade my own equipment, I am short of money and might have to give it a try in the future.”
“Let’s see the earnings after this batch of magic artifacts were sold…”
Issue of magic artifacts is serious.
Chen Dengming learnt this from his recent fight with Blood Ghost Taoist.
The opponent’s Blood Shadow Magic Sword easily broke through his Gengjin Bell and Black Iron Battle Robe.
In the end, in addition to his cloak, the opponent still had special talismanic treasures for protection.
And his Ice Spirit Sword, upon contact with the enemy’s magic whip, suffered a severe loss of spirituality and got damaged.
If he had a second-grade low-level magic artifact blade in his hand at that time, he wouldn’t have been so susceptible, and that blood demon would not dare block with his hand, lest it get severed.
Chen Dengming went to the table in the cave-estate and randomly tapped the storage bag.
There was a flash of spiritual light, and a map floated out and spread on the table.
He carefully examined for a moment, his gaze finally landing on a big market close to the Longevity Sect.
This market was named Chang’an Market, more than three times bigger than the Everjoy District.
It was established by the Longevity Sect, and there were usually cultivators of the Longevity Sect patrolling around.
It was secure with powerful people guarding it and it was over a thousand miles from the Changchun Sect
With his current escape speed, if he rushed at his fastest, it would only take a half hour to get there, and an hour if with a consistent speed.
“Those Demon Sect bastards, even if some of them dared to invade, they wouldn’t dare to infiltrate so deep into the territory of the Longevity Sect, wouldn’t they?
That would be them courting death…”
Chen Dengming put away the map, deciding to depart for Chang’an Market immediately.
Not only did he intend to unload the stock of magic artifacts from his hands, but he also needed to buy a residence for Mini Array Spirit that could resist the prying of others’ divine sense.
After activating the cave-estate’s defensive door formation, Chen Dengming left the Gu worms inside.
He stepped on the Black Cloud Leopard that was laying flat at the door and ordered the spiritual beast to keep an eye on the cave-estate while he was away.
…
Half a tea’s time later.
An escape light sped across the sky, heading towards the interior of the Eastern Region dominated by the Longevity Sect.
Within the light, Chen Dengming had once again changed his appearance, planning to go for the trade in disguise, attracting no attention.
Even though his Ice Spirit Sword was damaged and had significantly lost spirituality, and the transparent golden body seemed as if it was stained with ink, it did not have a major impact on his escape speed.
He was hurrying along the way, with an intense wind whistle by his ears, displaying much more flamboyance than when he was in the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Even the aerial demonic beasts that happened to cross paths quickly dodged away.
It was rare for Foundation Establishment demonic beasts to be found in the interior of the Eastern Region.
They were all cunning, much smarter than the dumb leopard, and the stupid ones had long been hunted and killed by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Longevity Sect.
Chen Dengming speculated on why in some biographical novels, sword immortals always seemed to wander around helping others, slaying demons and monsters.
Perhaps a small part of those were fictional, a small part were real, but the main reason was that demonic beasts were simply resources.
Unlike the areas on the frontier where demonic beasts gather and are raised by people, if any Foundation Establishment demonic beasts dared to roam within the Longevity Sect’s territory, it would be regarded as a moving treasure by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this area.
They would team up to kill it, and each person could earn several high-quality spirit stones at least.
This felt somewhat similar to when Chen Dengming was in his previous life playing games, forming teams to fight against Wilderness BOSS.

After about twenty minutes, Chen Dengming had rushed more than five hundred miles away and had consumed about forty percent of his spiritual energy.
He slowed down his flight speed and started to maintain a steady speed, restoring his spiritual energy while flying.
This would have been difficult in the past, but after his spiritual root qualification improved a little, he now had the qualification of medium-grade in high-quality spiritual roots.
