Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Purchasing Sword Tools
Translator: 549690339
Actually.
In the markets within and outside the Inner Peak, there are indeed more official Pill Shops, such as the Profound Immortal Pill Shop for Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and the Profound Fire Pill Shop for Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators.
However, these two types of pili shops, which have deeper connections with the sect, are naturally not within Han Yi’s consideration range.
As for the Nine Dragons Shop, not only do they deal in pills, but they are also involved in the business of magic tools, formations, and talismans. With a large backing, the small value of Han Yi’s goods would not be enough to attract the targeted attention of the Nine Dragons Shop.
Han Yi, whose thoughts were diverging, quickly focused his mind when he saw the shopkeeper He finish the calculations.
“Since you are a regular customer, let’s make it an even number. The total price is 1,900 spirit stones, how about that?”
Han Yi nodded, “No problem, 1’11 go with Shopkeeper He.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Shopkeeper He’s face became more relaxed.
However, instead of taking out the money and leaving, Han Yi stated the second purpose of his trip this time, “Shopkeeper He, does your store have any sword tools?”
He’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Of course, we have even magical treasures in our shop, it just depends on whether you can afford it or not.”
“What grade of sword tool would you like to buy?”
Han Yi didn’t hesitate and stated his previously determined needs, “I need a medium-grade sword tool.”
Upon hearing this, the smile in Shopkeeper He’s eyes grew even stronger.
This business was not small.
Generally speaking, low-grade magical tools are used during the early and mid-stage of the Qi Cultivation stage, medium-grade magical tools are used in the late stage of Qi Cultivation stage, high-grade magical tools are used at the Qi Cultivation stage level 9, and top-grade magical tools are commonly controlled by cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Coincidentally, I have medium-grade magical tools at this level in my possession. If you want a high-grade magical tool, I might not have it in stock.”
“Fellow cultivator, please take a look.”
With a gentle wave from Shopkeeper He, three long jade boxes appeared on the table between them.
Han Yi suddenly held his breath.
In front of him, the jade boxes were of different lengths; the longest was two meters long, and the shortest was about 1.2 meters long.
“Fellow Daoist, there are three sword tools here, all medium-grade magical tools.”
“This longest one is called Long Miss. This one was originally a high-grade magical tool, but due to damage, it has been re-evaluated as a medium-grade magical tool. In terms of power, this magical tool has reached the pinnacle of medium-grade tools, and if an artifact refiner takes action to refine it, it is possible to restore it to a high-grade magical tool.”
“This one is 1.5 meters long, and has a moderate length among sword tools; its blade is wide and thick, making it a broadsword. It is called Thunder Sword and comes with a thunder attribute. If you have a thunder spiritual root, you will be able to control it more effectively. If you do not have a thunder spiritual root, it will be quite difficult.”
“The last one is the shortest, only 1.2 meters long, and its blade is thin and narrow. Among sword tools, it is considered short. Its name is Shadowless, and when controlled, it enhances speed.”
After finishing, Shopkeeper He paused and looked at Han Yi.
At this moment, Han Yi’s eyes were filled with surprise and excitement, focused on the first sword.
A high-grade magical tool, that is something that only a few peak-level cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Level 9, or even those half-way to the Foundation Establishment Stage, possess.
Although it’s damaged, its power is still much stronger than that of ordinary medium-grade magical tools.
Han Yi coveted it.
Then he shook his head right after.
Helplessly.
He had previously inquired about the prices of medium-grade magical tools, and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to afford this sword, which had originally been a high-grade magical tool but had fallen to medium grade due to the damage.
His gaze continued to linger on the second sword tool with regret.
Thunder spiritual roots are a rare type of spiritual roots, no worse than heavenly spiritual roots. With his mixed spiritual roots, it would be difficult for him to control it fully, and there would be the risk of demise once an error occurred.
Sword tools are killing magical tools.
Choosing them requires extra caution.
Han Yi wouldn’t take risks with his own life.
Even though the Thunder Sword is powerful and has great potential, if it’s not suitable for him, he wouldn’t force it, and had no choice but to give up on it.
Han Yi shifted his gaze and carefully examined the last sword tool once over.
Through the jade box, the one-point-two-meter sword lay quietly, with a slender and black body, deeply attracting Han Yi’s attention.
The shopkeeper with the surname He smiled faintly, already knowing what Han Yi would choose.
Next, it was about the price.
Half an hour later.
Han Yi left the Nine Dragons Shop, feeling a heartache in his inner heart.
The Shadowless Sword cost him a full 3,500 Spirit Stones.
In other words, this time he went out, and just by counting the Spirit Stones he carried, he ended up with a loss.
No wonder Inner Sect Disciples usually had tight budgets. A single medium-grade spiritual tool would consume eighty percent of their net worth, and it was really not easy to support their daily cultivation.
On the other side, inside the Nine Dragons Shop.
The shopkeeper with the surname He took out the Gold and Silver Pill again and carefully examined it.
“The quality is pretty good.”
“This person actually purchased a medium-grade spiritual tool, and from his eyes, he doesn’t seem to have a medium-grade spiritual tool himself. It’s a bit strange, he doesn’t seem to be an Inner Peak disciple.”
“But are the Alchemy Skills of Outer Peak Disciples so strong?”
“An interesting person.”
The elderly man with the surname He showed a puzzled expression on his face but didn’t make any extra moves.
To him, even if Han Yi had a secret, it was just a secret of the Qi Cultivation Stage, and it wasn’t worth spending energy to find out.
Of course.
If Han Yi suddenly pulled out a Foundation Establishment Pill, that would be a different matter.
Each Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely important, its raw materials are expensive and scarce, and it is the sect’s strategic medicine.
Those who can refine Foundation Establishment Pilis are scarce even within the sect. Most are senior Alchemists at the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Core Stage.
After leaving Red Sun Fang City, Han Yi went to Small Guanhai Peak again.
He had always kept the contact at Small Guanhai Peak and never cut it off.
The person who met him was not the familiar Yan Ru.
Instead, it was a new female cultivator.
Over a year ago, Yan Ru had entered the Inner Peak in the opportune time and moved from Small Guanhai Peak to Azure Dragon Peak. She also apprenticed to a Foundation Establishment Elder. He had accidentally encountered her once in the market half a year ago. He saw her from a distance but did not deliberately approach to greet her.
The new female cultivator was called Chen Yujin, four years younger than Han Yi but with excellent talent in her spiritual roots. She had already reached the fifth stage of Qi Cultivation.
“Brother Han, the junior sisters have been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Hurry up and come in.”
Hearing the words, Han Yi’s mouth twitched.
Chen Yujin’s words felt like he was going to a brothel for entertainment.
And it was like a one-to-many kind of situation.
Han Yi shook his head, discarded the absurd thoughts in his mind, and followed the impatient Chen Yujin into the room.
Inside the room,
Many female cultivators were already waiting. There were about thirty people, all at the fourth or fifth stage of Qi Cultivation. There were no sixth stage female cultivators present.
“By the way, Brother Han, you have to give out more pills this time, and give each junior sister a share.”
Chen Yujin’s appearance was also excellent, and her voice soft and sweet, making people unconsciously immerse themselves in it.
In addition to her appearance, her figure was also stunning. Walking in front of Han Yi, her graceful waist swayed, giving off a strong temptation.
Han Yi was about to nod his head, but suddenly felt a chill..
