Chapter 31: Wind-controlling Spirit Boat, Ice-cold Mystic Iron Shield

Chen Xuan's expression became very strange.

He released his spiritual thoughts and carefully looked at the incomplete map of the ancient cultivator's cave in Canyangzi's hand. The more he looked at it, the more bizarre it seemed to him.

"This incomplete map of the ancient cultivator's cave seems to be exactly the same as the incomplete map I bought in the market for twenty low-grade spirit stones." Chen Xuan said in secret surprise.

This matter has nothing to do with him, and Chen Xuan won't say much.

There were quite a few cultivators at the scene who began bidding frantically.

Finally, this incomplete map of the ancient cultivator's cave was bought away at an extremely high price of four thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This left Chen Xuan speechless.

"With spiritual stones, I am so willful!"

After the underground auction ended, Chen Xuan left quickly.

Chen Xuan didn't know that just as he left the underground auction house, a divine thought swept over him.

Soon, this divine thought disappeared quickly again.

Because the divine thought came at an extremely fast speed and was extremely powerful, Chen Xuan, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, naturally could not detect it.

……

In an underground auction house, in a quiet secret room.

An old man in the Jindan stage was sitting quietly on a cushion in the secret room.

Just now, the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who was bidding against Chen Xuan stood in front of the Core Formation Stage elder with a respectful look.

"I've met Uncle Master!"

The immortal cultivator in the foundation-building stage bowed hastily.

"Well, the guy who bought the Lihuo Jiao Demon Pill, is he the person we are looking for?" said the old man in the Jindan stage.

"Reporting to Uncle Master, although that kid was generous and hid his realm, he has nothing to do with those people."

"Oh? That's interesting."

The old man in the Jindan stage looked at the cultivator in the foundation-building stage meaningfully.

After a pause, the Jindan stage old man continued, "When we released the fragmentary map of the ancient cultivator's cave, this kid clearly saw the mystery in it. Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage suddenly looked embarrassed.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.

"I remembered one thing. The spy we sent out also sold the incomplete map in the market. Could it be that this kid happened to buy this incomplete map?"

"If that's the case, it does make sense. I hope this kid doesn't ruin our plans. Otherwise... you know what will happen."

"Uncle Master, rest assured. For the benefit of the sect, I know what to do."

"Well, you continue with your mission. If you have any news about those guys, inform me in time."

"Yes!"

……

Chen Xuan didn't know that just by taking a second look at the remaining map of the ancient cultivator's cave in the underground auction house, he actually attracted the attention of a powerful Jindan stage expert.

After leaving the underground auction, Chen Xuan found a secluded place, used the shape-changing technique again to change his breath and appearance, and continued to wander the streets.

Soon, Chen Xuan appeared on a very busy street.

There are many shops here, and there are many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage coming in and out, making it very lively.

"Lingbao Pavilion? Let's go with this one!"

Chen Xuan looked around for a while, found a shop with a relatively luxurious facade and walked in.

"Welcome to Lingbao Pavilion. We have all kinds of spiritual tools, spiritual talismans, and elixirs. What do you need?"

A servant at the third level of Qi Refining greeted Chen Xuan with a gentle expression.

Chen Xuan looked normal, and after a quick glance around, he asked, "Does Lingbao Pavilion buy these things?"

Chen Xuan took off a storage bag from his waist and gave it directly to the servant.

The servant's mind swept over Chen Xuan's storage bag, and he immediately smiled.

"Collect them. But the value of these things still needs to be estimated by our Lingbao Pavilion's treasure appraisers."

"no problem!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, he was taken by the servant to the second floor of Lingbao Pavilion, a place dedicated to identifying natural treasures.

After a cup of tea, the servant finally gave Chen Xuan a price.

"Fellow Daoist, these things you have are of various types. The most valuable ones are those mid-grade spiritual tools. We at Lingbao Pavilion are willing to purchase these things for 800 low-grade spiritual stones. What do you think?" the servant asked nervously.

He worked in Lingbao Pavilion and received a certain commission for every successful business deal.

This order from Chen Xuan was a big deal for the servant.

If it succeeds, the commission will definitely be considerable.

The servant naturally hoped that Chen Xuan would agree immediately.

"Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones?"

Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Deal. I have some other things here, and I will sell them to your Lingbao Pavilion as well."

Chen Xuan estimated that the total value of the things in the first storage bag should be around nine hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Lingbao Pavilion can offer a purchase price of 800 low-grade spirit stones, which is relatively fair.

Therefore, Chen Xuan took out the spoils from the second storage bag and traded them all at once in the Lingbao Pavilion.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist."

The servant smiled happily and quickly took Chen Xuan's storage bag and left.

After a while, the servant came back happily.

"Fellow Daoist, the things in this storage bag are of better quality than the things in the first storage bag. We offer one thousand two hundred low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"

"make a deal!"

The spoils in the two storage bags exchanged for two thousand low-grade spirit stones for Chen Xuan.

This is a considerable income for any cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

With this huge sum of money, Chen Xuan can also buy whatever he wants.

For example, a spiritual boat for transportation and a defensive spiritual weapon.

"I also want to buy some spiritual weapons of good quality and a spiritual weapon for transportation. After the transaction is completed, I will settle my spiritual stones together." Chen Xuan said.

The servant smiled happily and soon brought Chen Xuan to the third floor, which specialized in selling various spiritual weapons.

"Fellow Daoist, this is where our Lingbao Pavilion specializes in selling spiritual weapons. Every spiritual weapon placed here is a top-grade spiritual weapon. Please take a look."

Without the servant's introduction, Chen Xuan could tell that the spiritual weapons displayed on the third floor were of very good quality.

Chen Xuan carefully selected for a while and locked on two spiritual weapons.

One is a spiritual device for transportation, called the Wind-Controlling Spirit Boat.

One is a defensive spiritual weapon, the Ice Black Iron Shield.

Both of these items are top-grade spiritual weapons, so their prices are naturally very high.

"That's all for these two things. How many spirit stones do you need?"

Chen Xuan said.

The servant nodded and gave Chen Xuan a quote skillfully.

"A top-grade wind-controlling spirit boat is worth four hundred and eighty low-grade spirit stones. A top-grade ice black iron shield is worth four hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones." said the servant.

Seeing Chen Xuan frowning slightly, the servant quickly spoke.

"This is your first time at our Lingbao Pavilion, so we can give you some extra discounts. Here are some low-grade spiritual talismans. We can give you three for free. Please choose one."

The servant quickly took out a dozen talismans and placed them in front of Chen Xuan.

These talismans are all low-grade talismans, and their effects vary.

There are fireball talismans, flying sword talismans, wind-controlling talismans, boulder talismans, and so on.

A low-grade talisman is worth ten low-grade spirit stones.

Three pieces equal thirty low-grade spirit stones.

This kind of discount made Chen Xuan very satisfied.

Soon, Chen Xuan picked up the three wind-controlling talismans without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, after deducting the spirit stones you used to buy the spirit weapon, we still need to pay you 1,100 low-grade spirit stones. Please take a look."

After taking the spirit stones and spirit weapons handed over by the servant, Chen Xuan counted them and immediately put them into his storage bag.

Just as he was about to leave Lingbao Pavilion, a cultivator who looked hurried instantly caught Chen Xuan's attention.
