Chapter 44: The Seed of the Divine Tree
Shi Yue was no stranger to the prosperity of Taixu Valley. When he heard the slogans of the shop assistants on both sides of the street, he wanted to go into the store and take a look, even if he didn't buy anything.
However, when he thought about the three hundred and eighty spiritual stones he had just spent, he gave up the idea.
After many twists and turns, Shi Yue stopped in front of a shop. There was a plaque hanging at the door with the three characters "Taotaoju" written on it.
This is a second-hand magical artifact store that specializes in selling magical artifacts that have been eliminated by others. The price is not expensive, but of course, the quality cannot be compared with brand-new magical artifacts.
Several pieces of moonstone are inlaid on the walls of the store. The soft light emitted by the moonstone illuminates the entire store, making it as bright as day.
There are dozens of magical artifacts placed on the shelves. Most of these magical artifacts have defects and were sold here by their owners because the price of repairing them was too high.
The shop owner is a middle-aged man with a shrewd look. At this time, he is introducing something to a young woman.
"Fairy, this Qiuhong knife is a high-grade magic weapon. Its owner used this knife to kill a first-level high-level demon tiger. Although there are two gaps on the blade, the impact is not big. Look,
Since this is your first time coming to our store, how about a hundred spiritual stones?" The middle-aged man pointed at a red throwing knife with a gap the size of two fingers on the blade and introduced it enthusiastically.
"A hundred spiritual stones are too expensive, let's make it cheaper!" the young woman bargained, her eyes full of love.
"Let's do this! For the sake of the fairy's beauty, ninety-five spiritual stones." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
When Shi Yue heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
The young woman is short and fat, and her face is covered with pockmarks, but she is also as beautiful as a flower? Isn’t this a lie!
"Deal." Upon hearing this, the young woman's cheeks turned red and she agreed.
Seeing this, Shi Yue nodded secretly. For the sake of the spirit stone, it didn't matter if he opened his eyes and told lies.
After paying off the spirit stone, the young woman twisted the bucket and left with a smile on her face.
"Would you like me to introduce you to what magic weapon this fellow Taoist wants to buy?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"I want to see the plowing instrument." Shi Yue said straight to the point.
"A magic weapon for plowing? Our store just bought one." The middle-aged man nodded and touched the storage bag on his waist. There was a weird magic weapon in his hand.
This magical instrument is all yellow in color, the handle is short and rusty, and it seems to be old.
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, this magic weapon was used by Ling Zhifu of Taixu Sect. Even though it is a bit worn out, it can be used to plow the ground without any fuss about the bovine beast. How about fifty spiritual stones?
Like?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"The handle is broken. I don't know if it will affect plowing. It's rusty. It won't suddenly break during use! Besides, this is just a low-grade magic weapon. Fifty spiritual stones are too expensive.
Ten spiritual stones are about the same." Shi Yue frowned and bargained.
"Ten spiritual stones? Fellow Taoist, you are joking. Ten spiritual stones are not enough for the purchase price. Let's do this! Since it is your first time to visit our store, how about giving you a discount of thirty spiritual stones?"
Hearing this, the young man frowned, pondered for a moment, and said this.
"Fifteen yuan at most. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the next one. I remember there are a few more in front of me." Shi Yue shook his head and said.
"Okay! Fifteen yuan, just fifteen yuan." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then agreed.
After paying the spirit stone, Shi Yue put the magic weapon into his storage bag, turned around and left Taotaoju.
It was still early, and Shi Yue didn't want to go back yet, so he walked along the street.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Yue came to a bluestone square. There were many stalls in the square, and the stall owners were all casual practitioners.
The goods on these stalls are very miscellaneous, including magic weapons, talismans, elixirs and other items for cultivating immortals. Of course, sometimes you can find some good things, it depends on your eyesight.
"The Qi Lian Powder only costs four spiritual stones each, a bottle of five, or a bottle of twenty spiritual stones. The price is fair, come and take a look."
"If you pass by the red sunflowers of the 50th year, don't miss them!"
"A good middle-grade magic weapon only costs eighty spiritual stones."
From time to time, stall owners shouted loudly to solicit business, but most stall owners still sat quietly behind the stalls and just put a sign next to the items they were selling to mark the price.
Shi Yue followed the crowd and walked from stall to stall, stopping from time to time to listen to what the onlookers were saying, but he did not buy anything.
Although the products at the casual cultivators' stalls are cheap, most of them are ordinary goods. Shi Yue just browsed them casually to pass the time.
Not long after, Shi Yue came to the center of the square.
"I don't want this seed of yours anymore. Give me back my spiritual stone. It's been buried in the spiritual field for a month and it hasn't sprouted. It's obviously a dead seed."
"Huh, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. This seed is obviously still alive, how can you call it a dead seed?"
"If it has life, why hasn't it sprouted in a month? You are obviously lying."
"I told you, this is the seed of some kind of sacred tree. It's normal for it to germinate later."
A fierce quarrel came from a stall in front.
"Sacred Tree Seed" Shi Yue heard this, with a look of interest on his face, and walked over quickly.
The surrounding immortal cultivators heard the quarrel and gathered around curiously.
There are three major sacred trees in the world of cultivating immortals, namely the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the Soul-nurturing Tree, and the Spiritual Eye Tree. However, there are very few cultivators who have actually seen the sacred trees. It is said that the three sacred trees suffered a great disaster tens of thousands of years ago.
became extinct.
Therefore, although it is only the seed of a sacred tree, it still arouses the interest of many immortal cultivators.
Because Shi Yue reacted quickly, he occupied a good position and could clearly see everything in front of him.
Standing in front of this stall was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fifth-level Qi refining level. He was holding a cyan wooden box in his hand, with a green seed the size of a longan in it.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man with a sinister face. Judging from the fluctuations in mana on his body, he has the eighth level of Qi refining.
Someone noticed that the young man had a plum blossom pattern embroidered on his collar, which seemed to represent a certain identity.
Shi Yue saw the plum blossom pattern on the young man's collar and nodded secretly. It turned out that the young man was a descendant of the Chen family in Meihua Ridge. No wonder he dared to compete with a master of the eighth level of Qi refining.
There are five major immortal cultivating sects in the Tang Dynasty, namely the Ancient Sword Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Fenghuo Sect, the Taixu Sect, and the Caixia Valley. Among them, the Ancient Sword Sect has the strongest overall strength, and the Taixu Sect ranks at the bottom in terms of overall strength. Apart from the five major
There are many immortal cultivating sects in the Tang Dynasty, and the Chen family in Meihualing is one of them.
