Chapter 304: 296: Mysterious Jade Slip
Soon enough.
He Song didn’t wait for too long.
Master Luo Jing’s figure reappeared in this place again.
Sitting down beside He Song, Master Luo Jing waved her hand.
Instantly, more than twenty jade boxes appeared in the originally large hall.
With another wave of her hand.
As a wave of mana fluctuation passed by, the twenty or more jade boxes in the hall all opened, revealing the artifacts inside them.
These artifacts, both offensive and defensive, all appeared to be rare and exquisite pieces.
In He Song’s eyes, the power of these artifacts was probably on par with those produced by the Thick Earth Sect’s Artifact Refining Hall.
Seeing this, He Song’s mind settled down.
That’s good.
It seemed that he wouldn’t need to return to the Thick Earth Sect to replace his artifacts at the Artifact Refining Hall in the future.
It should be noted that there was still a gap between artifacts sold outside and those refined within a Golden Core Sect.
However, now that he had seen the artifacts for sale in the Treasure Pavilion, it seemed like there was no difference in power.
This naturally eased some of He Song’s concerns.
“Master, look, these are all top-quality artifacts. The descriptions of each are in the jade slips next to them.”
“If Master likes any of them, just let me know.”
As Master Luo Jing’s voice sounded, He Song’s gaze also shifted to the twenty or so top-quality artifacts in front of him.
His eyes swept across each top-quality artifact.
He also read the jade slip next to the ones he was interested in to check the information inside.
After several comparisons, He Song finally chose two top-quality artifacts.
The offensive top-quality artifact was called the Spirit Snake Bone Seal.
The Spirit Snake Bone Seal was refined using the full skeletal structure of a
Foundation Establishment spirit snake, as well as many precious materials. Once activated by mana, the spirit snake could be controlled and launched an attack on the enemy.
Similar to the Black Tiger Seal.
After controlling the spirit snake with the Spirit Snake Bone Seal, the seal itself could also protect He Song.
At the same time, since the Spirit Snake Bone Seal was a top-quality artifact, the strength of the controlled spirit snake was naturally stronger and more terrifying than the Black Tiger.
He Song had already tried the Black Tiger Seal and found it very useful, so he naturally wouldn’t pass up the Spirit Snake Bone Seal this time.
This type of artifacts that could harm the enemy and protect oneself was naturally better in greater numbers for He Song.
As for the top-quality defensive artifact, it was called the Vajra Shield.
Also, its entire body looked as if it were made of gold, hence the name Vajra Shield.
When activated with mana, the Vajra Shield could turn into a golden barrier, protecting He Song completely within it.
It was no longer like the previous shield-shaped artifacts that could only move around He Song’s body.
The Vajra Shield provided all-around protection for cultivators.
As long as the Vajra Shield was not broken, outside attacks wouldn’t matter to He song.
He Song chose the Vajra Shield because of this feature.
If a fierce battle really occurred, once the Vajra Shield came out, He Song’s safety would be greatly ensured.
After choosing the two top-quality artifacts he would use.
He Song spoke again, mentioning the other items he wanted to purchase.
Such as Foundation Establishment spirit amulets.
Such as various elixirs.
Such as other life-saving items.
Such as…
As He Song bought more and more items, Master Luo Jing’s eyes gradually filled with surprise when she looked at him.
She couldn’t understand.
She really couldn’t understand.
Why did a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator have so many spirit stones on him?
In this short period of time, He Song had purchased various items worth more than 100,000 spirit stones from her.
Just the two top-quality artifacts alone were worth more than 100,000 spirit stones.
In addition to the Foundation Establishment spirit amulets, various types of elixirs, and other life-saving items, He Song had spent a total of more than 100,000 spirit stones here.
More than 100,000 spirit stones was actually a considerable fortune for a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even for a Sub-Pavilion Master like her, more than 100,000 spirit stones was a significant expenditure, enough to save up for some years.
But what about He Song?
In just a short period of time, He Song had spent more than 100,000 spirit stones here.
It must be known that Foundation Establishment Masters, despite having a high annual salary and other substantial benefits,
by becoming a guardian in the Immortal City, they could probably have an income of about 20,000 spirit stones per year.
However, the expenses of Foundation Establishment Masters were also high.
Daily cultivation, purchasing artifacts, taking elixirs, and other expenses made it seem like Foundation Establishment Masters had a considerable annual income, but in reality, they couldn’t save much spirit stones in a year.
Unless they didn’t work hard on their cultivation and became stronger, the income of around 20,000 spirit stones per year could be entirely saved.
However, this situation was unlikely to happen.
And to her, He Song couldn’t have given up on his cultivation either.
Therefore, her heart was naturally shocked by He Song’s generous purchase this time.
How could He Song have so many spirit stones on him?
A question emerged in Master Luo Jing’s mind.
He Song raised his head and glanced at her.
Then he spoke nonchalantly.
“Don’t be surprised, I am an amulet Tao master, and I do have a considerable amount of spirit stones on me.”
“Otherwise, I doubt I would have the financial means or the guts to attend the auction in Cloud State.”
He attributes the source of his spirit stones entirely to his identity as an amulet Tao master.
This is something He Song has been doing since the Qi Refining stage.
Now that he sees Master Luo Jing’s doubt, he naturally uses his amulet Tao master identity to dispel her doubts.
As an amulet Tao master-
What’s wrong with having more spirit stones on him?
Although He Song also buys Foundation Establishment spirit amulets, which amulet Tao master is proficient in all Foundation Establishment spirit amulets?
In this way, the fact that He Song, as an amulet Tao master, purchases spirit amulets from others leaves no flaws.
To outsiders, He Song’s statement seems flawless.
But they don’t knowAmulet Tao master-
Is just one of He Song’s many identities.
Using his identity as an amulet Tao master to hide other identities is what He Song has always been doing.
Master of elixir refiningArray Path Master-
He is definitely not going to expose these two identities.
Naturally, all the spirit stones he has acquired are attributed to his identity as an amulet Tao master.
“So that’s the case, I didn’t expect Master to be an amulet Tao master.”
“No wonder your wealth is so abundant.”
“It’s a pity that my Treasure Pavilion hasn’t been able to buy any spirit amulets from you, it’s really a shame.”
“But I assume that all the spirit amulets you made should be sold through your own trade association?”
Upon hearing He Song’s casual remark, Master Luo Jing suddenly realized, linking the number of spirit stones on his person to his identity as an amulet Tao master.
Fulfilling this, her doubt about the number of spirit stones on him is instantly dispelled.
She even sighed, seemingly regretful that she hadn’t obtained any of He Song’s drawn spirit amulets.
Seeing this, He Song didn’t say any more, just silently selected the items he needed.
Then he asked Master Luo Jing to calculate the price at a 10% discount.
In the end-
It’s calculated that he spent a total of 182,000 spirit stones in the Treasure Pavilion.
He gave 164,000 spirit stones.
This is the number of spirit stones given after accounting for the 10% discount.
It could be said that although He Song made many purchases today, he saved himself more than 10,000 spirit stones, nearly 20,000 spirit stones.
He Song was of course very satisfied with this benefit.
After he had finished choosing all the items he needed, He Song was about to ask again when the auction in Cloud State would begin.
But he saw Master Luo Jing suddenly slap her forehead, a touch of annoyance crossing her face.
“Right, I almost forgot to inform you, Master.”
“The Cloud State auction will be held three months later, so don’t forget.”
“Heaven Power Immortal City is far away from Cloud State. Even though it only takes about two months for a Foundation Establishment stage Master to travel the distance with a spirit boat-”
“If something happens along the way and delays your time, you might miss the auction.”
“It’s best for you to set off as soon as possible.”
As she said these words, a trace of apology flashed in Master Luo Jing’s eyes.
She had previously only been focused on asking He Song to help send the jade slip to Cloud State and had momentarily forgotten his earlier inquiry.
It wasn’t until now that she suddenly remembered.
Luckily, she did remember, otherwise, a message would need to be sent for him to know.
Seeing this, He Song who was about to ask immediately closed his mouth.
He just smiled, then waved his hand repeatedly to indicate that he didn’t mind.
Afterward, he chose to bid farewell and leave.
Today, his purpose for coming here had been completely achieved.
There was no need for him to stay any longer in the Treasure Pavilion.
Seeing this, Master Luo Jing quickly got up to see him off.
The two of them left the Treasure Pavilion one after the other and parted ways at the entrance.
As he left, He Song smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, indicating that there was no need for her to accompany him further.
Master Luo Jing, who personally escorted He Song out of the Treasure Pavilion, also stopped with a smile on her face.
Only after watching He Song’s back disappear from her sight did she return to the Treasure Pavilion.
In a hall, a thin sheet of paper appeared in Master Luo Jing’s hand.
As mana poured out, lines of words appeared on the paper.
“Junior sister, a friend of mine happens to be going to Cloud State to attend the auction.”
“The Dual Cultivation Skill you wanted, I’ve already asked him to send to you.” “When he arrives, he will find you and hand over the jade slip.”
“Remember to treat him well, as I want to cultivate a good relationship with this friend.”
“If you can, you can also get to know this dao companion. This person…”
As for the happenings inside the Treasure Pavilion after he left, He Song was completely unaware.
After knowing the exact time of the Cloud State auction-
And having bought most of the items he needed from the Treasure PavilionHe returned to his residence and started preparations immediately.
Master Luo Jing was right-
The distance between Heaven Power Immortal City and Cloud State was too far, even for a Foundation Establishment Master, it would take about two
months to reach there..
