Cui Xiangming was secretly surprised. This young man in front of him could actually produce five thousand spirit stones in a flash, which was even stronger than him, the master of the Treasure Light Pavilion!
Who was this disciple, and which sect did he belong to? With such substantial wealth during the Qi Refining phase, it was truly unimaginable!
Cui Xiangming gave a bitter smile and said, "It's beyond my expectations that you can take out so many spirit stones, my friend. We the Treasure Light Pavilion would really like to do this business with you, but the method to make the Purple Thunder Pearl is not in our possession. I'm really sorry but I can't provide it for you."
Shu Han scrutinized Cui Xiangming's expression and felt that he was not lying, so he could only regret it a little in his heart.
"However, seeing that you are not short of spirit stones, I happen to have a treasure here that you might be interested in!"
Cui Xiangming took out a compass the size of a face basin from his storage bag.
"This is the Four Phases Array Plate, not a magic tool, but a formation treasure!"
Shu Han raised an eyebrow. He had read many things about magic tools and magic treasures in the "Bai Family Artifact Refining Manual", but this was the first time he had heard of formation treasures. He couldn't help asking, "I beg your pardon for my shallow knowledge, but what is a formation treasure?"
Cui Xiangming explained, "It's no wonder you don't know, these formation treasures are rarely heard of in our cultivation world. They are the pattern transformation of a magic treasure belonging to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator by a formation master and are called formation treasures. With a formation treasure, users do not need the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage to exert the original power of the magic treasure!"
To have the power of a magic treasure!
Shu Han was greatly surprised. The biggest difference between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage was the magic treasure itself.
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could use powerful magic treasures, while Qi Refining stage cultivators could only use magic tools.
Back in the day when he fought against the old ghost Dragon Mystical, he was almost killed by the old ghost's life-bound magic treasure, the Blood Soul Sword, despite having exhausted all his means.
"Why are such good things rarely seen in the cultivation world?"
Cui Xiangming laughed, "The creation of a formation treasure requires the consumption of a magic treasure and its power is slightly reduced. Furthermore, it has a limit on the number of uses. In addition, the operation of a formation treasure must be paid for with a large amount of spirit stones, which is like chicken ribs for a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Only disciples of large sects will make such things for future generations to defend themselves."
Looking at the Four Phases Array Plate, Shu Han was itching inside. However, he still asked calmly, "Such a rare treasure must be very expensive. I would like to have it, but I may have to go back to the sect and ask my master."
Cui Xiangming shook his head, "I won't hide it from you, if it were a complete Four Phases Array Plate, your five thousand spirit stones wouldn't be enough. However, this one has been used multiple times and the remaining number of activations is not many, so if you are willing, I will part with it reluctantly, along with these top-grade magic tools to you."
Looking at Cui Xiangming's expression, there wasn't the slightest sign of reluctance, instead, he seemed eager to sell.
Shu Han asked, "Senior has not told me the effect of this formation treasure yet, and... that is, how many spirit stones it would consume?"
Hearing Shu Han's last question, Cui Xiangming chuckled awkwardly.
"The Four Phases Array Plate, when fully activated, can summon the four phases array pattern, overwhelming, heavy as a mountain! But because it consumes a number of uses and spirit stones, we at the Treasure Light Pavilion have never tested it, so the specific power is unknown. Moreover, the consumption of spirit stones by this Four Phases Array Plate is quite substantial. Activating all its power requires the consumption of four medium-grade spirit stones at once."
Four medium-grade spirit stones?
"Deal! Five thousand spirit stones, I'll take these five treasures!"
Seeing that Shu Han didn't hesitate and directly took it, Cui Xiangming couldn't help but be surprised, "Are you sure, my friend?"
Whoosh!
Shu Han waved his hand, and more than a dozen bags of spirit stones flew out from the storage bag, immediately filling the entire secret room with spiritual energy.
Shu Han tapped on the table and said, "Would you like to count the spirit stones, senior?"
Cui Xiangming was overjoyed, "No need! I trust you, my friend. Please take these five treasures!"
Shu Han didn't stand on ceremony, directly taking the five treasures on the table.
"Senior, I don't have many medium-grade spirit stones left, I still have more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones, can I ask Senior to exchange them for medium-grade spirit stones for me?"
More than a thousand spirit stones left?
Cui Xiangming laughed, "Sure! On the market, two hundred low-grade spirit stones are usually exchanged for one medium-grade. One thousand low-grade should be five medium-grade. But since you're so generous, I, as your senior, can't be stingy. I'll round it up to two usage amounts, eight medium-grade for you!"
"Thank you very much, senior!" Shu Han thanked him with a bow, then said, "Actually, I have two more requests!"
"Please tell me, my friend!"
Shu Han said, "Have you heard of Blood Sea Ginseng and Evil Light Flower, senior? If the Treasure Light Pavilion has them, I would like to purchase one or two for research."
Cui Xiangming pondered for a moment, "These two spirit medicines are indeed rare, I don't recall the Treasure Light Pavilion having them in stock. But since you are interested, I will arrange for someone to search the market. We should be able to gather them for you within a month."
"Thank you very much, senior. There is one more thing, I was targeted by someone with ill intentions at the Green Stone Gathering. They might take action after I leave the gathering. I'm not afraid of them, but I don't want to unnecessarily consume the treasures I have because of them. Could senior..."
Cui Xiangming huffed in anger, "Someone dares to despise the rules of the Green Stone Gathering, it must be those Qi Refining period insignificant characters! Don't worry, you are a distinguished guest of my Treasure Light Pavilion, I won't stand by and watch!"
..........
After Shu Han left the Treasure Light Pavilion, the feeling of being watched by others still existed. He casually strolled around the market and came to the exit of the Green Stone Gathering.
At this moment, an Eight Trigrams pattern was spinning in front of him, and in the blur, Shu Han chose the Qian trigram.
At the corner of the Qing Shi gathering, Chen Yuehua's eyes glowed green, and her gaze pierced through the mist.
"Qian trigram!"
Chen Yuehua laughed, "Wait a moment, I'll go out first to follow him. When he gets to a deserted place, I'll send out a signal, and Brother Wang, you bring people to follow immediately! By then, we will all attack at once, this person is rich and bold, surely he has many magic treasures him. Don't give him a chance to fight back."
The bald man laughed, "What's there to be afraid of, with more than ten of us, a spit from each of us could drown him! Little lady, remember our deal, I get seventy percent, you get thirty. Don't try any tricks!"
"Brother Wang is joking, how dare I play tricks on you guys?"
Having said that, Chen Yuehua walked into the array. When she came to the exit of the Qian trigram, she immediately took out a red bird from her sleeve.
"Good bird, go!"
After releasing the bird, she activated the Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, easily spotting the traces of Shu Han's passage. She followed these traces, eventually reaching a deep forest following Shu Han's footprints.
She looked carefully but found Shu Han sitting in a clearing in the forest, seeming to be meditating and adjusting his breath. She wondered, "Why is this kid meditating here? After revealing a huge amount of spirit stones at the Green Stone Gathering, he dares to stay nearby, he must be tired of living!"
But then Shu Han lazily called out, "Miss Chen, stop hiding and peeking from afar. If you have anything to say, let's talk face-to-face!"
Chen Yuehua's body shuddered, and she immediately felt that something was wrong. She formed a seal with her left hand, and a fireball shot into the sky. Then she felt a strange wind blowing through the forest, and when she turned her head back in surprise, she found that Shu Han had disappeared from his original spot!
"Miss Chen seems graceful and pretty, but her heart is so wicked, it's really a pity!"
A chill ran down Chen Yuehua's back.
Cui Xiangming was secretly surprised. This young man in front of him could actually produce five thousand spirit stones in a flash, which was even stronger than him, the master of the Treasure Light Pavilion!
Who was this disciple, and which sect did he belong to? With such substantial wealth during the Qi Refining phase, it was truly unimaginable!
