Chapter 135: Supreme-Grade Magic Artifact
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhang Chen had visited this marketplace many times before, and he arrived at a shop that specialized in selling magic artifacts with ease.
“Senior, are you looking to buy a magic artifact?” The shopkeeper quickly stood up and bowed.
“I want to buy an alchemy furnace. Do you have any here?” Zhang Chen asked.
“Please follow me, Senior.” The shopkeeper walked while introducing, “We have inferior, low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade furnaces. The inferior furnace is suitable for beginners, the low-grade furnace is suitable for…
Zhang Chen followed the shopkeeper to the backyard, where dozens of furnaces of various sizes were placed.
BoxNovel.comGu Pingshan used a high-grade furnace, but considering that Zhang Chen had never practiced alchemy and was a beginner, it would be too wasteful to use a high-grade furnace.
With Gu Pingshan’s memories, progress would be swift. The inferior and low-grade furnaces would not be useful for long. After much thought, Zhang Chen decided that the medium-grade furnace was the most suitable. So Zhang Chen said, “Tell me about the medium-grade alchemy furnaces.”
“Alright, please have a look, Senior. This is the Red Copper Cauldron, made of fiery red copper crystal. It can better absorb the furnace fire, increasing alchemy speed and condensation rate by 30%. It is priced at 500 spirit stones.
“This is the Blood Jade Cauldron, crafted from a thousand-year blood jade. It is most suitable for your esteemed sect’s blood pills. It can better retain the spiritual power of blood, improving the quality and success rate of blood pills. It is priced at 600 spirit stones.
“This Bloodwood Cauldron is also suitable for your esteemed sect. It is made from a hundred-year blood-sucking wood and can absorb impurities in the blood, improving the quality and success rate of blood pills. It is priced at 700 spirit stones.
“And this is the Yin Stone Cauldron, refined from yin stone, suitable for cultivating pills with a yin and cold attribute…”
As the Blood God Sect excelled in blood refinement, Zhang Chen naturally chose what was suitable. “I’ll take the Blood Jade Cauldron.”
“Senior, are you paying with spirit stones or blood essence?” The shopkeeper asked respectfully.
“Spirit stones.” Zhang Chen took out Gu Pingshan’s storage bag and poured out a pile of spirit stones.
As the overseer of the Alchemy House, Gu Pingshan had naturally accumulated a considerable amount of pills. Besides selling them within the sect, they were also sold outside, resulting in a substantial stock of spirit stones.
The shopkeeper scanned with his spiritual sense and happily accepted the spirit stones. “The amount is correct. This Blood Jade Cauldron belongs to you, Senior. ”
Zhang Chen nodded and put the Blood Jade Cauldron into his storage bag. He remembered that the Mad Blood Saber he had bought in the past was already too weak, so he asked, “Do you have any top-grade magical artifacts?”
Top-grade magic artifacts were treasures that could only be activated by those in the Golden Core stage.
This was a big deal!
The shopkeeper’s face lit up, and he took out four artifacts.
Zhang Chen’s gaze was immediately captivated.
There was a wheel-shaped artifact studded with numerous sharp teeth, a dark red wine jug, a black and ominous sword, and a garment that continuously dripped blood.
These four artifacts exuded immense spiritual energy. Even without activation, they emitted tremendous power, especially the three offensive artifacts, which gave off a sense of danger.
“The prized possessions of our humble shop are these four top-grade magic artifacts: the Wheel of Ten Thousand Fangs, the Sepsis Jug, the Soulbound
Sword, and the Bloodguard Robe,” the shopkeeper introduced them proudly.
“The hardest and sharpest part of a demon beast is its teeth. The Wheel of Ten Thousand Fangs is made from the teeth of 10,000 Foundation Establishment stage ninth level demon beasts.
“Gathered together, they form a wheel, dispersing like rain, making it difficult to evade. It possesses the ability to pierce armor and break magic, rendering most body protection spells ineffective against it below the Golden Core stage.
“The second artifact, the Sepsis Jug, is made from three types of thousand-year poisonous stones and mustard seed stones. It can expand or shrink, containing a mustard seed space inside. It doesn’t possess much attacking power on its own, but when blood is injected into it and released, it carries a powerful toxin.
“The toxicity is exceptionally fierce, instantly killing those below the Foundation Establishment stage upon contact. Even those in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot escape death after prolonged exposure.
“Your esteemed sect can add toxicity to your own blood, but it takes time and effort. With the Sepsis Jug, you can achieve the same power, saving a considerable amount of time and painstaking cultivation.
“The third artifact, the Soulbound Sword, is forged from gloomy ghostwood and tiger demon inner cores. When you slay an opponent with this sword, you can enslave and control their soul, making it extremely effective against ghost cultivators.
“The fourth artifact, the Bloodguard Robe, contains the essence blood of a Golden Core cultivator. It can withstand a strike from an early Golden Core cultivator and, as long as the damage isn’t severe, can be replenished with one’s own essence blood.”
Due to his indestructible bloodline attribute, Zhang Chen wasn’t particularly interested in the Bloodguard Robe.
The idea of slaying an opponent with the Soulbound Sword and enslaving their soul sounded powerful, but it required first killing the opponent.
If he had that kind of strength, he might as well use the Hundred Ghost Banners.
“How much for the Wheel of Ten Thousand Fangs and the Sepsis Jug?”
Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s inquiry, the shopkeeper wasn’t surprised. “The
Wheel of Ten Thousand Fangs is 10,000 spirit stones, and the Sepsis Jug is 5,000 spirit stones.”
Both were top-grade magic artifacts, but the significant price difference was due to the fact that the Sepsis Jug was only suitable for Blood God Sect cultivators.
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhang Chen still furrowed his brow upon hearing the price.
There were 1,000 spirit stones in Gu Pingshan’s storage bag. Other than that, there were numerous medicinal pills and some spiritual herbs and materials.
If he were to sell the pills and spiritual herbs and materials, he could probably get around 3,000 spirit stones.
By selling some more of his belongings, he should be able to barely scrape together 5,000 spirit stones.
Half a day later, Zhang Chen left the market, and his storage bag became empty, except for the newly acquired pill furnace and wine jug.
Although he had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones at the market, no one dared to target him due to his status as a direct disciple of the Blood God
Sect.
Two days later, at the Blood God Sect.
Upon returning to his cave dwelling, Zhang Chen first took out the recently purchased top-grade magic artifact, the Sepsis Jug.
The size of the Sepsis Jug was similar to an ordinary wine jug, but it had no lid.
Zhang Chen waved his hand, and a glob of blood flew out and landed into the opening of the jug.
After a moment, the glob of blood flowed out from the spout of the jug, but it had turned dark red and emitted a pungent odor, clearly containing a potent poison!
Zhang Chen extended his hand, and the dark red blood globule hovered in front of him. His Foundation Establishment stage sixth sense told him that the blood in front of him was highly dangerous and should not be touched.
However, he wanted to confirm the strength of the Sepsis Jug’s toxicity and see if it lived up to the shopkeeper’s description.
Zhang Chen lightly touched the blood globule with his finger, and in an instant, his finger turned black and quickly spread to his arm.
“Hmph!”
Zhang Chen let out a pained groan but didn’t rush to detoxify himself. Instead, he carefully sensed the situation.
The poison was indeed potent. If it contaminated his flesh and was not dealt with promptly, even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be at risk of death.
“Let’s try suppressing it with mana,” Zhang Chen circulated his mana and covered his arm.
The spread of the poison didn’t stop; it only slowed down, but it consumed a significant amount of mana.
“Let’s try detoxifying with mana,” Zhang Chen’s thoughts shifted, and a large amount of mana pressed against the toxicity in his arm.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
Black smoke billowed from his arm, and upon smelling it, he felt dizzy and disoriented. Clearly, the black smoke was also poisonous.
Zhang Chen estimated that with his fourth level Foundation Establishment cultivation, it would take about 60 breaths to force out all the poison.
In a battle, a single breath could determine life or death, so there simply wasn’t enough time.
Zhang Chen was still satisfied with the Sepsis Jug as it compensated for his disadvantage of not being able to integrate his blood with attributes.
The only downside was that he was also affected by the toxins and couldn’t absorb the poisonous blood into his body; he had to store it separately..
