Immortal Path Space

Chapter 281: Wantong Market

Because the bark of this spirit wood can be used to make talisman paper, Wang Hong had already peeled it off in advance.

This discovery shocked the refining tool master when he took a closer look. It turned out to be a third-tier spirit wood, which surprised him.

He stared at it reluctantly for a while, then shook his head repeatedly, saying, "What a pity! What a pity!"

Wang Hong, puzzled by his abrupt words, asked, "Is there something wrong with this spirit wood?"

"Not really," the refining tool master replied. "It's indeed excellent material. However, using this third-tier Purple Cloud Mulberry for refining a Spiritual Weapon would be a bit of a waste. Moreover, compared to the spirit wood, the beast tendons are of lower quality and can't withstand greater Spiritual Power and strength. It would affect the final quality of the product. If you had better beast tendons, you could create top-quality Spiritual Weapons. With these materials, you'll at most achieve high-quality Spiritual Weapons. Are you sure you want to proceed with this refinement?"

Wang Hong had no reservations about the refining tool master's doubts. He had plenty of this spirit wood in his Space, and to avoid drawing too much attention, he deliberately chose a smaller Purple Cloud Mulberry.

"I'm sure I want to refine it. Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I have a total of five sets of beast tendons. I want to refine five identical bows. How much spirit wood will I need for that?"

Wang Hong nodded to indicate his determination.

"These spirit wood pieces won't be enough for refining five bows. Do you have more, Fellow Daoist? If you have any surplus materials, you can sell them to us, and you won't be at a loss," the refining tool master said eagerly, his eyes gleaming with hope. As a refining tool master, he was most passionate about top-notch refining materials.

"I do have some more," Wang Hong replied. He took out ten more pieces of the same spirit wood from his Storage Bag, along with a large bundle of branches, which were all materials from the same Purple Cloud Mulberry tree.

Wang Hong decided to bring out the entire materials of the third-tier spirit wood, including the branches, to maximize their value and prevent anyone from coveting them.

"To refine five Spiritual Bows, you'll only need two pieces of spirit wood. Do you need to refine anything else, Fellow Daoist?"

"I also need to refine a hundred high-quality Magical Weapon-grade strong bows. For the remaining materials, I'd like to trade for some bowstring materials at your store, which I'll use for refining Spiritual Weapon bows," Wang Hong explained. Since he had brought out the whole tree of third-tier spirit wood, he wanted to make the most of it.

With the current cultivation level of the hundred disciples he had recently recruited, they couldn't participate in battles with Foundation Building cultivators due to their limited Divine Sense. Their Magical Weapons had a maximum attack range of only ten yards, while even the weakest Foundation Building cultivators had a Divine Sense range of twenty yards.

These new disciples didn't have Spiritual Roots like the previous group, so they expended more energy on body refining and couldn't collectively throw short spears at a long distance. However, using bows and arrows was a different story. With their strength, using Magical Weapon bows and arrows, they could be effective at a range of at least a hundred yards.

Moreover, Wang Hong's Foundation Building subordinates were facing some difficulties in their current combat style. Being body cultivators, they were not proficient in controlling Spiritual Weapons for long-distance attacks. They were not as fast as Wang Hong and couldn't quickly approach their opponents before they ran away. Refining these bows and arrows would give them a means of long-distance attack.

The refining tool master couldn't take his eyes off the spirit wood materials Wang Hong had brought out. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Fellow Daoist, these materials are too precious. I can't make the decision alone. Please wait a moment."

He took out a Transmission Talisman, transmitted a voice message using Divine Sense, and then turned into a streak of light, flying away.

After about a cup of tea's time had passed, another streak of light flew in from outside and landed in the hands of the refining tool master.

"We'll add some materials to it. In total, we'll provide Fellow Daoist with a hundred high-quality Magical Weapon bows, seven high-quality Spiritual Weapon bows, one top-quality Spiritual Weapon bow, a hundred Spiritual Weapon arrows, a thousand Magical Weapon arrows, and we'll also give you ten mid-grade Spirit Stones. How does that sound?"

This offer meant that Wang Hong only needed to provide the spirit wood and five sets of beast tendons. He wouldn't need to worry about the rest of the materials, and it even included a top-quality Spiritual Weapon.

Wang Hong immediately agreed to the Yu-Chi Family's proposal, and the two of them discussed many details and completed the transaction procedures.

...

Wantong Market had hundreds of stalls, each piled high with various Spiritual Objects, most of which were haphazardly arranged.

It seemed that Spiritual Objects, which were rarely seen elsewhere, became relatively inexpensive here. Due to the large number of Spiritual Objects on display, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the entire market had increased.

Various merchants, appearing as cultivators, wandered between the stalls, strolling at a leisurely pace. Some were shopkeepers, while others were in charge of merchant caravans. They were accustomed to the world of business and acted as if they were indifferent to these things, even though they were not.

Regardless of whether they were genuinely indifferent or not, when it came to doing business, this attitude was necessary.

At this moment, a new merchant caravan arrived at the entrance. The caravan consisted of only about a dozen people, with several Qi Cultivation cultivators in the middle, each carrying a large wooden crate on their shoulders.

These dozen people proceeded to an empty stall and set up over a dozen rudimentary display stands to showcase their goods. They then opened several large wooden crates, revealing a variety of styles of Storage Bags inside.

A Qi Cultivation cultivator picked up one of the Storage Bags and emptied it onto the display stand.

"Clang, clang."

After a crisp and melodious sound, the display stand was now filled with porcelain bottles, each with a label that read "Condensing Qi Pill, Low-Grade."

This large pile of porcelain bottles immediately attracted numerous gazes. There weren't many merchant caravans doing business with Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Pills in Qianqiao City, especially in recent years, with chaos erupting everywhere and an increase in treasure-hunting cultivators. Consequently, there were even fewer merchant caravans doing business with Spiritual Herbs here.

Therefore, this large pile of Condensing Qi Pills naturally caught people's attention.

Following that, the Qi Cultivation cultivator poured out another pile of porcelain bottles. This time, all the labels read "Condensing Qi Pill, Mid-Grade," and the quantity appeared to be over a thousand.

To be able to produce so many Mid-Grade Condensing Qi Pills at once, it seemed that this merchant caravan's strength was not to be underestimated. Now, even more people's attention was focused on the merchants.

Following that, the Qi Cultivation cultivator poured out another pile of porcelain bottles. This time, there were only a few hundred bottles, but the labels on the bottles read "Condensing Qi Pill, High-Grade."

With this, many seemingly casual observers became less composed. High-Grade Condensing Qi Pills were rarely seen and highly sought after. People couldn't miss the opportunity to acquire them.

At this point, more Qi Cultivation cultivators freed up their hands and began pouring Storage Bags from the wooden crates onto the display stands.

One person emptied a large pile of Spirit Herbs, while another poured out a large pile of spirit fruits. Each item that came out of the Storage Bags was more dazzling than the last.

By this time, a crowd had already gathered in front of this stall. However, the goods from the merchant caravan hadn't been arranged properly yet, so no one had started attending to the customers.

"Oh my! There are so many Resplendent Visage Elixirs! I must get a few bottles."

"Surprisingly, there are second-tier spirit fruits! And so many white crystal fruits! I must get my hands on some."

As people secretly made up their minds, more Qi Cultivation cultivators began to pull out one wine barrel after another from their Storage Bags.

They hadn't expected that this merchant caravan would not only offer Spiritual Herbs but also so much Spirit Wine.
