Chapter 385: Chapter 371_2

Thick iron chains tightly entwined those monsters, and despite being separated by an unknown distance, Chen Xu seemed to sense the evil qi within.

Another shop took the shape of a flying boat, hanging high in the air above the marketplace.

A flag prominently displayed in front of the flying boat, with the sign: Celestial Boat Commerce!

As Chen Xu walked along, he overheard some people discussing:

“The Four Elephants Alliance’s auction is said to be held in ten days on that unanchored boat, but who knows what good stuff they have, boasting so early.

If they fail to present something worthwhile, it would be quite embarrassing.”

Some mocked, saying: “Heh, they just took over a small Qingyang Sect, what kind of treasure could be inside? Is it worth such mystery?”

Others held different views, saying: “You don’t know, the Qingyang Sect once had its glory days.

Reportedly, it was even ranked among the fourth-grade sword sects, with a legacy possessing a earth-grade sword mantra.

If the Four Elephants Alliance intends to auction off this earth-grade sword mantra, it wouldn’t just sustain an ordinary auction.

It could potentially be included in the Hundred Battles Ruins annual auction, perhaps even shake the entire Wanhe Domain.”

Someone sneered: “Pipe dreams, utterly absurd!

If the Qingyang Sect indeed had an earth-grade sword mantra, how could they have survived till now, only to be annexed by the Four Elephants Alliance?

How could a mere Four Elephants Alliance swallow an earth-grade sword mantra whole?

Ha ha ha, people are ignorant, truly ignorant…”

“You!” The rebutted person instantly became furious.

The sneerer suddenly let his True Yuan flow through his body, vibrating lightly, immediately shaking off a person blocking the way.

That fleeting powerful True Yuan was neither Golden Core nor Foundation Establishment.

Although the crowd couldn’t judge accurately, they figured this person was definitely extraordinary.

Instantly, they stepped aside, changing their tone, hurriedly praising his remark as accurate.

Chen Xu watched the commotion, feeling these cultivators seemed not much different from the common folks he encountered in the Great Li Kingdom.

It’s roughly about fearing the strong while bullying the weak, just human nature.

And who knows to what realm one must cultivate to transcend such nature?

Conversely, Chen Xu met many generous and heroic individuals in the Great Li Kingdom.

Although due to realm restrictions, their future may not be as vast as the cultivators of the Tianxuan Star Realm, their cultivation of character seemed far superior.

Chen Xu inspected many stalls along the way.

Relying on others’ inability to see him, he often took advantage of gaps to sneak closer and examine closely, seeing many peculiar treasures and gaining much knowledge.

For instance, there was a type of plaster, called Disjointed Bone Healing Plaster, which could directly reattach broken limbs.

The efficacy of this medicine was remarkable, but unfortunately, it could only be used by cultivators below Qi Cultivation stage three or common people.

And precisely because of this, the plaster’s name was so plain and unremarkable.

Anyone who could afford five Qi Radiance Pills to enter the Hundred Battles Ruins would typically not value such low-level external injury medicine.

Chen Xu found this item excellent, and immediately felt an urge to buy it.

But he was penniless, what should he do about it?

Additionally, there was an elixir named Five Flavors Qi Circulation Pill, consuming one could directly experience the five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty.

This mixture of flavors resulted in a truly strange taste, hence the Five Flavors Qi Circulation Pill was actually an outcome of normal Qi Circulation Pill refining failure.

Although it had the same function of aiding qi circulation, it usually sold for twenty percent less than regular Qi Circulation Pills.

Even so, the Five Flavors Qi Circulation Pill was still difficult to sell.

In Chen Xu’s view, the Five Flavors Qi Circulation Pill could be used as an excellent auxiliary material in creating Spiritual Food.

If its five flavor attributes are wielded properly, it could outperform many seasonings by multiple folds.

There was also a magical treasure named the Earth Walk Goblet, appearing as a wine vessel but actually containing ten acres of spiritual soil inside, allowing the cultivation of spiritual plants at one’s convenience.

And this was precisely the item Chen Xu desired most before entering Bailiu City!

He urgently needed something to plant Cyan Cloud Lotus Seeds.

The Hundred Battles Ruins indeed had an abundance of treasures, everything one can wish for.

The above were just Chen Xu’s preliminary choices of items he decided he must acquire.

In truth, there were many other things within the Hundred Battles Ruins that Chen Xu also wanted but hadn’t yet resolved to purchase.

Various magical treasures, spirit swords, and precious blades, or various jade talismans, books, and manuals.

Of course, it’s not that Chen Xu doesn’t want to buy them, right?

Ha, he was simply broke.

Additionally, Chen Xu paid special attention to items related to spirit chefs in this realm.

Just a moment ago, he saw a peculiarity appear at a stall.

[Sheep Cooking Cauldron, a damaged profound-grade cooking vessel cauldron, made primarily of astral refined gold, crafted with an artifact refiner’s effort over forty-nine days.

When the cauldron was formed, heaven sent wind and rain to aid its refinement.

Unfortunately, it failed to refine in the end, leaving the cauldron incomplete, downgraded to profound-grade.

This cauldron once cooked hundreds of demons and countless spiritual materials, accumulating various spiritual qi, evil qi, and fire qi.

Over years of shifting ownership, the treasure became covered in dust, producing filth that is hard to remove.]

This turned out to be a cooking cauldron!

Recently, Chen Xu learned from a hint in the Food Cauldron Celestial Book that certain spiritual materials need to be cooked using cauldrons.

At that time, he jotted down the cauldron requirement in his mind.

In the Great Li Kingdom, there’s no notion of cooking cauldrons, but upon reaching the Tianxuan Star Realm, countless treasures emerged, as he wished for a cauldron, and it appeared.

But again, the same problem, Chen Xu couldn’t afford it.

He couldn’t resort to stealing, right?

Smuggling into the Hundred Battles Ruins was his skill, but stealing for selfish desires would go against his principles.

Chen Xu wasn’t anxious; he wandered back and forth three times along the main street of the Hundred Battles Ruins.

Centered on the flying boat at the terminal, the entire marketplace had six other main streets extending.

Chen Xu hadn’t thoroughly explored the other main streets, only took a rough look, until finally, he selected a target.

It was a frustrated gray-clad young man.

His stall laid out many items, but these were either low value, suitable only for low-level Qi Cultivation cultivators.

Or had imperfections, possessing some damage like certain defective magical artifacts.

Otherwise, they had unclear purposes.

Oddly colored stones, grayish tokens, charcoal-colored seeds.

Such items in the crowded stalls and shops of the Hundred Battles Ruins were naturally inconspicuous, with no selling points, how could that gray-clad young man’s business be good?

Few lingered at his stall, and worse, a steward-dressed cultivator repeatedly approached the young man’s stall.

The steward looked down and said, “Xiao Ji, it’s not that Uncle Zhang is unwilling to accommodate, it’s simply that your dad’s prepaid stall fee is only enough for one more time.

After today,
