Chapter 388 367: New Celestial Pride

A single damaged Golden Hawthorn was actually exchanged for a "Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin"!

Although it was a Fake Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin, usable only once, its marvelous effect was still a joyous sight to behold.

Song Ciwan still had ten Golden Hawthorns left. After a moment's thought, she unhesitatingly chose to sell the remaining nine all at once.

A "Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin" that could only knock down Lower Grade Magical Treasures was not very significant to Song Ciwan. Her main weapon was the Spiritual Artifact Level Sun and Moon Wheel of Formless Life and Death. During her previous battle with the Fox Demon Tushan Keji, Tushan Keji had also used a Spiritual Artifact—

Song Ciwan didn't know if Spiritual Artifacts were standard issue for Celestial Prides, but since she had one and Tushan Keji had one, Song Ciwan had to plan her battles with Spiritual Artifacts as the benchmark.

[You have sold nine Golden Hawthorns—the damaged eggs of the Stealth Race, a Space-Time Alien and Heaven and Earth Alien Species. You have obtained one wisp of the Marvel: Pseudo-Gold Divine Light.]

Pseudo-Gold Divine Light: A replica of the Divine Technique, Five-Colored Divine Light. It has the ability to knock down and absorb all treasures in the world, with a success rate that varies according to the treasure's level.

Note: 100% success rate on Lower Grade Magical Treasures and below, 80% success rate on Middle Grade Magical Treasures, 60% success rate on Upper Grade Magical Treasures, 30% success rate on Top Grade Magical Treasures, and 10% success rate on Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

For items above Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, the chance of success is minuscule.

...

A river breeze blew across the water's surface. Song Ciwan stood motionless upon the waves, stunned for a moment.

The Stealth Race, the Golden Hawthorns... to think that selling them through the Heaven and Earth Scale would yield such Marvels!

Was this because Song Ciwan was still on a lucky streak today, or was the existence of the Stealth Race simply so extraordinary that the items bartered for Golden Hawthorns could be this magical?

'Without a doubt, the answer has to be the latter.'

The Stealth Race truly lived up to its name as a Heaven and Earth Alien Species!

Song Ciwan had three trades left for the day. It wasn't convenient to trade the various types of "qi" she had while out in the open, so she tried selling a small amount of the Jade Immortal Brew she had intercepted earlier to see what she could get.

[You have sold one mace of the Stealth Race's Jade Immortal Brew. You have obtained one True Essence Pill.]

True Essence Pill: A Four-star Elixir. After consumption, it can restore a certain amount of True Qi, Qi Blood, and other forms of energy. It is a commonly used elixir for the Divinity Transformation Stage.

One mace of Jade Immortal Brew for one True Essence Pill.

In comparison, the hundred catties of Dragon Blood that Song Ciwan had obtained back then seemed insignificant.

One catty of Dragon Blood could be exchanged for about ten Red Sun Pills, and Red Sun Pills were just common elixirs for the Mid-Stage Qi Refining, which Song Ciwan could no longer use.

Coincidentally, the Dragon Blood in the Heaven and Earth Scale had been completely used up. Song Ciwan took stock of her supplies and saw a messy pile of miscellaneous items, but very few useful elixirs.

She gathered some Low Level Talismans, Material Magical Artifacts, and other things she didn't need, deciding to go into the city later to sell some of them for Primordial Pearls and buy more elixirs.

As for the items she could use, at the Magical Treasure Level, besides the Hundred Transformations Magic Robe she was currently wearing and the Eye of Cyan Nether she had refined into her left eye, she also had the Lower Grade Magical Treasure Wuyou Bell and the Lower Grade Magical Treasure Void Escape Sword.

She had refined both of them. As for what she hadn't refined, there was still a Middle Grade Magical Treasure, the Three Mountains Seal.

The Three Mountains Seal was a good item; Song Ciwan planned to find an opportunity to refine it as well.

There were also the Marvels Qiankun Toss, Netherworld Fog Barrier, Spirit-Seeking Mirror, and Golden Cicada Jade Exoskeleton. She also had the Four Seas Heaven-Devouring Gourd she had collected long ago. The Demon Realm Token could also be considered a type of Marvel. It could be of great use at critical moments, so Song Ciwan gave it an extra look every time she organized her things.

In addition, there was the Han Guang Glaze Residence. This treasure could also be considered a special Marvel.

In terms of Talismans, the main one of use to her right now was a Word Spirit Talisman—

This thing had a Deceitful Qi about it. It was a curse-type Talisman. Song Ciwan hadn't figured out how to use it yet, so she decided to keep it for now, certain there would be a time for it.

As for the Fake Treasure-Collecting Gold Coin and the Pseudo-Gold Divine Light she had just obtained, there was no need to say more.

After organizing everything, Song Ciwan operated the Heaven and Earth Scale again: [You have sold one Spirit Talisman Green Rhinoceros Talisman with a tracking marker attached. You have obtained one Marvel, a Soul-locking Claw.]

Soul-locking Claw: A Three-star Level Marvel, single-use. Can capture a Soul Spirit. The targeted Soul Spirit's level cannot be higher than the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Song Ciwan pondered the newly acquired Soul-locking Claw for a moment, feeling that the Heaven and Earth Scale's recent description was very subtle.

The Cyan Rhinoceros Talisman she had just sold had actually come from the flower petal red envelopes that the wedding procession had scattered at last night's banquet.

Song Ciwan had caught two petals at the time, one of which had transformed into a leaf-shaped Spirit Talisman.

'So this strangely shaped Spirit Talisman was a Cyan Rhinoceros Talisman!'

Song Ciwan had heard of the Cyan Rhinoceros Talisman. It was a defensive Spirit Talisman that could guard the mind and calm the spirit after use. It was considered a very good Spirit Talisman, and if purchased from a Spiritual Material Shop, a single one would be worth at least fifty Primordial Pearls.

As a red envelope gift scattered to the crowds by a wedding procession, a Cyan Rhinoceros Talisman was a luxurious item. Anyone who received one would have to praise the Heir of Prince Yun for his generosity.

But the Heaven and Earth Scale's description had exposed the Cyan Rhinoceros Talisman's secret. This one, from Prince Yun's Mansion, actually had a tracking function!

First the Second Young Master, now the Heir of Prince Yun... 'The Great Zhou Imperial Family is really something else.'

Song Ciwan then sold the other red envelope: [You have sold one low-grade, impure Wish Power Pill. You have obtained one mace of Yuqing Dew.]

Yuqing Dew: A Three-star Level Spiritual Liquid. Consumable by both humans and demons. It can purify True Qi and other forms of energy. The specific effect depends on the dosage.

The effect of this item was not much different from a Wish Power Pill.

Song Ciwan had obtained Wish Power Pills a few times before, always by trading the Power of Faith through the Heaven and Earth Scale. She usually ate them on the spot.

However, the ones she received were always pure Wish Power Pills, unlike this one, which was low-grade and full of impurities.

Song Ciwan recalled the surprised expressions on the faces of the Great Cyan God and the other guests at the wedding banquet when they received their Wish Power Pills—

'Wish Power Pills must not be easy to come by,' she guessed.

Song Ciwan immediately warned herself to be more careful in the future. 'I must never casually reveal my pure Wish Power Pills to others!'

With all ten of her daily trades used up, Song Ciwan walked casually on the water's surface, playing with the Big White Goose for a while.

Only when the Big White Goose had had its fill of fun did she take it and fly along the river.

They flew all the way to the gates of Huijiang City, where Song Ciwan landed lightly on solid ground.

The Big White Goose spread its wings and joyfully bounded to her side. Song Ciwan patted its head and led it to the city gate, joining the common people queueing to enter.

Song Ciwan had no Road Guide, and her old household registration was no longer convenient to use. But entering the city was no obstacle for her. With just a Minor Magic, the city gate soldiers naturally overlooked her and the Big White Goose's presence. She entered the city with ease, and no one even tried to check her for a Road Guide.

Huijiang City was bustling. The unique sight of stone-paved streets running parallel to waterways made the Big White Goose gasp in surprise, flapping its wings nonstop.

Song Ciwan liked its liveliness and didn't try to restrain it.

After passing through several streets and taking in the sights, a lively shout suddenly rang out from up ahead. "The Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List! The Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List has been updated!"

"Only five hundred cents a copy! Don't miss out! The latest news from the Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List! A new Celestial Pride joined the list last night! Esteemed customers, don't you want to know who it is?"

...

The cry was full of appeal, but it also drew a few curses. "What a profiteer! A worthless piece of paper, even if it has the name 'Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List' printed on it, isn't worth five hundred cents. Five hundred cents! Why don't you just rob people?"

But the Shopkeeper who had been hawking was silver-tongued and immediately retorted, "Esteemed customer, five hundred cents is really not expensive. You have to understand, this news has zero delay. It was transmitted this very morning through the Magical Treasure Mountain and River Mirror from the capital."

"And do you know what the Mountain and River Mirror is? That's a Magical Treasure belonging to the officials' family! If it weren't for a major event, the Mountain and River Mirror would never be used."

"If one of our shop's owners wasn't someone from the Government Office, how could we possibly get firsthand news? Heh, if you wait for this kind of news to trickle down layer by layer through the merchant caravans, it would take several months at least."

"After a few months, who knows what the list will look like! Buy it early, and you'll be among the first to witness the style of the new Celestial Pride!"

The Shopkeeper's words immediately drew a wave of exclamations. People started saying, "A new Celestial Pride? Hasn't the Ten Thousand Spirits Celestial Pride List been static for a long time? There's actually a new Celestial Pride this time?"

"Quick, Shopkeeper, give me a copy! Since there's a new Celestial Pride, how could I not buy today's list?"

"I want one too! Me too! Shopkeeper, a copy!"

...

People squeezed through the crowd, swarming forward.

The scene instantly heated up, and the Shopkeeper grinned from ear to ear.
