Chapter 203 Rare Treasures

I do have it, but it’s just not convenient to talk about it.

Cheng Bai muttered in his heart, and said perfunctorily: "Brother Chang is knowledgeable and has far-sighted insights."

A familiar voice approached and said, "Brother Chang, it is a great honor to meet an old friend in a foreign land."

Cheng Bai turned around and saw that it was An Yiren, who had done business in the sewers of Yinsheng City. It seemed that he got along very well with Chang Yufeng.

An Yiren noticed Cheng Bai and greeted him, "Brother, last time we met, I didn't have time to ask for your name."

Chang Yufeng said first: "He is the White Emperor."

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "This guy is really quick-witted."

An Yiren praised him greatly, saying, "Master Chang is the descendant of the Prison Sword School. He travels the world, subdues demons and exorcises monsters, and is deeply respected by our generation."

The World Traveler is a spontaneous position in all major sects. Some of them are similar to sect spokespersons. They often have quite strong abilities but no corresponding salary.

Therefore, it is rare to find people who actively do this work. But if there are any, they must be powerful characters. Most of them will be promoted to important positions after completing their duties and returning to the sect, or even succeed the head of the sect, and be honored as the holy master or the leader, so they will become famous.

Chang Yufeng sympathized with him and said, "Master An Yiren is an honorary weapon refiner of the Taowu Academy. He is well-known and a frequent customer of major auction houses and markets. He is also my old partner."

It seems that the two of them are very close. One is quick-witted and the other is talkative. They are a perfect match. When they meet, they talk and laugh about everything.

"Didn't he say apprentice last time?" Cheng Bai thought to himself, sometimes it is a good thing to devalue yourself.

There are different levels of practitioners in the equipment refining industry. Above the apprentice is the assistant master, which is a stage where one gradually leaves the master's guidance and starts his own business.

Above the assistant teacher is the famous teacher. Famous means having a prominent reputation in the professional field. Chang Yufeng's phrase "famous far and wide" probably raised the level.

Above the famous teachers are the great masters, the grand masters, and the mysterious grand masters. Legend has it that there once were divine grand masters.

Usually, a master has an impact on the entire industry, has made great contributions, is able to found a school of thought, and has many disciples. This is considered the pinnacle of the profession.

In the past, Fang Wanzhan, the leader of the Weapon Sect, was only hailed as a "master" because he inherited the skills of his predecessors instead of creating something new. This was also due to the limitations of the industry's capabilities on the Qiongqi Continent.

Chang Yufeng said: "The Xianhua Pavilion holds an annual gathering of elites. This year's stock is rich and colorful, and all are exquisite. However, the most expensive and rare treasures are represented by the ten most eye-catching items in the south exhibition hall."

Needless to say, Zhenwu Rock ranks last among the ten treasures.

Cheng Bai secretly agreed, and said politely: "I will ask you two for your advice."

Turning to look at the treasure numbered 352 on the side, there are eight transparent water tanks sealed in the display cabinet. The water inside is pure, and each tank has a capacity of 16 liters. They are sold in batches, and they look quite familiar.

An Yiren introduced: "The water of life and death is the corpses of hundreds of beasts melted by the hot springs of the earth veins, forming poisonous water over the years. If the poison can be removed, it will be a magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life."

Cheng Bai glanced at the reserve price, 768,000 taels of gold.

Thinking of how he had wasted this item in the past, he couldn't help scratching his head and thinking, "It's also one of the ingredients I want for the Flawless Nirvana Pill."

An Yiren came to a pile of copper ingots that were shining with a faint blue light. The number was 353. He explained in detail: "It is a total of taels of Qingguang Copper Mother. It is incredibly heavy, but not very large. Sometimes it can be used as a substitute for Shenbing Iron. I have never seen so many in previous years. The total value is more than double that of the Zhenwu Rock."

Chang Yufeng looked at the reserve price, 1.5 million taels of gold, and shook his head, saying, "In my opinion, copper-smelling things cannot be compared with Zhenwu Rock."

An Yiren laughed and said, "Spiritual stones and gold and iron have different uses. We only talk about their value, not preferences."

Cheng Bai made a more pertinent comment: "Zhenwu Rock is more useful to warriors, while Qingguang Tongmu wins by quantity."

Chang Yufeng looked at the treasure numbered 354, the neatly stacked herbs in the display case, and commented: "Six hundred and sixty soul-resurrection herbs, fourth-level rare spiritual roots, can bring the dead back to life. But for cultivators, it is sometimes not very effective."

Cheng Bai has done a lot of research on the inherited magic cube recently and knows its medicinal properties. He said truthfully: "Those who have undergone life transitions and are beyond the ordinary world and have high cultivation are not within the range of this medicine that can revive them. It's okay for ordinary warriors, but the amount of medicine required for human immortals is doubled, and for earthly immortals it is doubled again. For those above scattered immortals, this medicine alone has lost its effectiveness."

An Yiren was surprised and said, "Brother Bai is an expert in medicinal properties. I wonder which sect he belongs to? Is he a master from the Dan Ding Society of the Nanli Continent?"

Cheng Bai introduced himself: "I am from the Tian Tun Sect."

An Yiren looked ignorant, but he said, "I've heard of your name for a long time."

Cheng Bai didn't care at all. He glanced at the reserve price, 1.73 million taels of gold, and calculated in his mind: "The Soul-Returning Grass can only be used to refine the Life-Slaying Pill to exert its maximum medicinal effect. It will also be useful for Loose Immortals. For those with higher cultivation, it can only be used as a healing medicine. It is better than the Blood Ginseng Pill."

There are a large number of treasures numbered 355, with a total of dark blue spiritual fruits filling the entire display cabinet.

An Yiren didn't know much about precious medicinal roots, so he just said, "The origin of this thing is mysterious. It often takes many years for a large number of them to suddenly appear. Even though there are quite a lot of them, if they are put on the market, there will be too many people and too little porridge."

Chang Yufeng whispered, "Refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill is practical and reliable, and it is always ready for emergencies. There are several spiritual pharmacists who have set their sights on this batch of Soul-Nourishing Fruits."

Cheng Bai knew what they said was true, and said thoughtfully: "I met him right after he was released. I'm really lucky."

There is only one piece numbered 356, which is a huge spiritual stone that emits a soft light, clear and warm, reminiscent of the vitality of the rising sun.

Chang Yufeng's eyes lit up and he praised: "The flint stone weighs about 30 kilograms. It's a good thing, a treasure for refining tools, and can be used as a moonstone on a normal day."

An Yiren said hurriedly, "This is a sacred object in the eyes of us weapon refiners. How can it be confused with the Moonlight Stone? I put it in the last five items. Let me bet everything on it. Maybe I can have some chance."

Cheng Bai took a look and saw that the reserve price was 3.15 million taels, so the transaction price must be much higher. He smiled and said, "Brother An must be very wealthy to be able to take this treasure."

An Yiren said unconcernedly, "If a weapon refiner doesn't calculate carefully, how can he go far? The competition in the industry is so fierce. Not to mention the weapon refiners from the Changsheng Society who come to bid, the head of the Lieyan Sect, Saint Master Huang Yunzi, is a ruthless character who competes for everything."

Cheng Bai thought: "He? He won't come."

His eyes fell on the display case numbered 357, which contained an exquisite transparent glass lantern containing a cluster of dark flickering flames, and a label indicating it was a black poisonous fire.

An Yiren exclaimed: "Even the source of divine fire is there. The Dragon Vessel Sect really has everything. It is also something I pay special attention to, but unfortunately I am short of money and cannot have both."

The source of divine fire is extremely important to both cultivators and weapon refiners, and is a treasure that is hard to come by.

Chang Yufeng reminded: "It's only level three. Although it's a rare spiritual object, its grade is a bit low."

An Yiren shook his head and said, "Brother Chang, don't underestimate any kind of divine fire source. Ordinary fire and Dao fire are divided into first-order and second-order, so why is the divine fire source the third-order at the worst? Because not only is it excellent in ability and stands out among the five elements, but it is also often the only one in the world. If you get it, no one else can get it. Therefore, the price of a strand of third-order divine fire source is higher than that of many fourth-order natural treasures. This is the key."

Cheng Bai looked at the reserve price. Five million four hundred thousand taels of gold was something that even a local ruler might not be able to afford.

Chang Yufeng chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't know the importance of the matter. The third-level divine fire source can still be bought and sold openly, but if it is above the fourth level, Xianhua Pavilion will become a battlefield for competition, and the two elders of Longmai Gate who are in charge of the situation may not be able to keep an eye on it."

He was quite interested in treasure number 358 and said enviously, "Six hundred kilograms of magic silver ingot, rare material, wow... If it meets the right refiner, it will be enough to forge a rare holy sword."

The magic silver is pale in color, and reflects yellow and white colors under the light. It moves flexibly and magically. The hardness of the treasure is 12.5, which exceeds most of the metal materials known so far. It is easy to infuse magic power to play a role, and it is undoubtedly a good material for refining magic weapons.

This item is not produced in the five continents, but comes from some outer realms. It is rarely seen in the world, and the word "rare" can no longer be used to describe it.

Cheng Bai estimated: "If we can gather three thousand kilograms of magic silver, we might be able to refine a top-grade soul weapon."
