Chapter 894: Chapter 573: Gray Bead, Cultivation Technique Shopping_2

The gray bead alone, because it was too ordinary, remained overlooked.

He once thought of sending it to the auction, but the treasure appraisers there, after inspecting the bead, directly refused to accept it.

Thinking of this, the shrewd middle-aged man had already made a decision in his heart.

Although he always had a feeling that this gray bead might not be as simple as it seemed.

However, for so many years, he had never been able to uncover its secrets.

No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary bead, no different from a common stone bead.

In this auction, it is said that there will be a batch of elixirs to purify the Golden Core.

He is now at the Golden Core Third Turn. To advance to the Fourth Transition, he must purify his Golden Core and enhance his Magic Power Golden Core to a middle-grade level.

Therefore, he must acquire one of these purifying elixirs.

Otherwise, who knows when such elixirs will appear again?

Thus, he needed to prepare enough spirit stones.

This gray bead may really contain some secrets.

But it is more likely that it is just an ordinary stone bead.

After all, over these years, he tried all kinds of methods but couldn’t discern anything special about it.

A treasure that cannot be used is as good as waste; better to trade it for spirit stones to buy treasures and enhance strength.

His expression changed several times, and the shrewd middle-aged man finally looked at Lu Qing.

Seriously: "One thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones, no less. If you don’t want it, forget it."

Lu Qing, seeing his expression, pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Alright, fifteen hundred spirit stones."

He then took out fifteen middle-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over.

Seeing Lu Qing’s straightforward use of middle-grade spirit stones, the shrewd middle-aged man’s eyes flickered with a gleam.

But he quickly concealed it, collected the spirit stones, picked up the gray bead, and handed it to Lu Qing.

"This treasure bead now belongs to you."

Lu Qing seemingly unaware of the other’s unusual behavior, casually received the bead without checking it and put it away.

After Lu Qing put away the gray bead, the shrewd middle-aged man suddenly felt a sense of loss.

It seemed as if something important had just left his hand.

Unfortunately, even if he regrets it now, it’s already useless.

No matter how it seems unmanaged here, everyone is free to trade.

But if something really happens, the strong cultivators of Tianshu City will immediately step in.

Then he might be directly expelled, never to enter the city again.

So he could only muster a smile: "You are indeed generous. I still have many treasures here. If there’s anything else that catches your eye, I can give you a discount."

"No need, I still want to explore other places."

Having obtained what he wanted, Lu Qing no longer wished to linger and started walking toward other stalls with the Five Treasure Taoist.

Watching the two figures of Lu Qing gradually disappear into the crowd, the shrewd middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

At this moment, a divine soul transmission echoed.

"It’s nothing, just that kid seemed a bit peculiar. By the way, congratulations on selling an ordinary magic artifact for thousands of spirit stones."

The shrewd middle-aged man retracted his gaze and replied via transmission.

"Haha, that kid is truly a fool, believing the story I made up. And didn’t you do the same, finally selling that useless stone bead?"

The transmission came from the Foundation Establishment stall owner at the nearby stall.

The two of them had been putting on a show, pretending not to know each other.

"A useless stone bead, huh..."

The shrewd middle-aged man thought of the sense of loss when the stone bead left his hand, his eyes slightly flickering with darkness.

"Mr. Chen, why do you care so much about that bead? Could it contain some mystery?"

At this point, even the Five Treasure Taoist came to realize something.

Lu Qing’s earlier behavior was quite out of the ordinary for him.

To see him spend so many spirit stones without batting an eye to buy an apparently useless stone bead.

He finally realized, could there be another hidden mystery?

"Just happened to find it pleasing to the eye, felt it was a nice bead."

Lu Qing smiled slightly and didn’t reveal the truth.

But the Five Treasure Taoist understood in his heart, believing that the bead must have something special, only he and the stall owner couldn’t see it.

For the remaining time, Lu Qing wandered around the square again.

He went to the stalls where Little Li sensed there were exotic treasures but found they were mostly ordinary treasures.

The treasure aura was quite obvious, and the stall owners asked for high prices.

There was nothing like the gray bead, where the treasure light was hidden, and others couldn’t see the true details of the exotic treasure.

Lu Qing was surprised but found it reasonable.

Indeed, that’s normal; there aren’t so many opportunities to take advantage of.

Being able to get an exotic treasure at a low price is already considered good luck.

It’s impossible for all the opportunities to belong to one person.

After asking around, he found that the exotic treasures Little Li sensed as extraordinary, those stall owners asked for prices way beyond the exotic treasure’s worth.

And since those exotic treasures weren’t necessary for him, Lu Qing immediately lost interest.

Nonetheless, he became more eager for the upcoming auction.

Even these valuable exotic treasures couldn’t make it into the auction, only being sold here at the stalls.

What kind of stunning treasures would be in this auction, then?

After leaving the square, Lu Qing and the Five Treasure Taoist wandered around Phecda Peak again.

As time went on, approaching evening.

Continuously, cultivators flew down from the sky, landing on Phecda Peak.

Each of them had strong auras, at least at the Golden Core Realm level.

Some were so imposing that just their presence caused those below to tremble.

With an aura as deep as the ocean, majestic as a mountain, or vast as the sky, they were obviously Primordial Spirit Great Powers, showing such elegance.

However, most Primordial Spirit Great Powers directly entered the grand building on the mountain top, rarely wandering around Phecda Peak.

Lu Qing was still wandering with the Five Star Taoist. At this moment, he stood in front of a shop, showing a hint of surprise.

This shop wasn’t selling common magical treasures or elixirs; instead, it displayed rows of jade scrolls and ancient books.

According to the shopkeeper, they were all books on cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

"Taoist Scripture Residence, there’s actually a shop dedicated to selling cultivation technique books?"

Lu Qing was both surprised and perplexed.

As you know, cultivators are always very careful about their own cultivation techniques.

They rarely reveal them to anyone other than their closest disciples or relatives, let alone sell them.

After all, if their cultivation techniques were known by others, there’s no guarantee that countermeasures wouldn’t be developed.

So Lu Qing had rarely seen places dedicated to selling cultivation technique books.

Unexpectedly, he found one here on Phecda Peak.

It seems this shop must have a profound background, maybe even belonging to Tianshu City.

Lu Qing immediately went inside, but after looking around and with the shopkeeper’s introduction, he found out he was excited too early.

Most cultivation technique books in this shop were for the Qi Refining Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm.

There were only a dozen or so at the Golden Core Level.

As for Primordial Spirit Level books, there wasn’t a single one.

Understanding this, Lu Qing felt a bit disappointed but also understanding.

Primordial Spirit Level techniques are too precious to be openly sold.

It’s not about whether someone would buy it or not, but if they dared to display such level techniques.

Even with Tianshu City backing them, it might not stop the greed of those powerful Golden Core cultivators.

Perhaps the moment they display them, someone would dare to rob them by nightfall.

Realizing this, Lu Qing calmed his excited heart.

Then he turned his attention to the dozen or so Golden Core Level techniques, his eyes showing a hint of eagerness.

His Perfect Golden Core Skill had recently hit a bottleneck in its deduction.

These Golden Core Level techniques came just in time.
