252Chapter 251 Visiting the Sect Master to Obtain the Elixir Selling First and Buying Later Treasure Boots

In addition, he also had nearly ten million spirit stones on him.

There are also numerous magical treasures, elixirs, and materials, all of which can be exchanged for spirit stones.

So after paying his respects to Hong Shao, Yu Xian took the opportunity to exchange many of the pills he no longer needed for spirit stones.

Then go to the Spirit Medicine Sect and the Weapon Refining Sect to exchange the materials and magic weapons in the storage bag for spirit stones, and then go to purchase spirit herbs for alchemy, as well as some fifth-tier magic weapons.

Spirit stones only have value when spent; otherwise, they are basically useless for cultivation within the Haotian Sect.

Moreover, among the magical treasures he possesses, only the Spirit God Shield and the Sea-Suppressing Pearl are fifth-tier; the rest are fourth-tier high-grade or mid-grade, which is sufficient for everyday combat.

But now that we have enough spirit stones, of course we should replace them all with fifth-tier ones! Every bit of increased combat power counts!

Especially for flying magical artifacts, after the battle in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, Yu Xian realized that what he lacked most right now was speed.

Therefore, the Purple Phoenix Cushion must be phased out and replaced with a fifth-tier, mid-range, or even high-grade flying magic weapon.

As for the Jade Spirit Sword, Yu Xian could not replace it. It was given to him by his master. Even though the Five Treasures Silver Dragon Armor was not very useful now, Yu Xian had never sold it and kept it quietly deep in his storage bag.

The Azure Spirit Sword’s killing power is sufficient to deal with ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it seems that for future enemies, the Azure Spirit Sword will be useless against weaker ones, and its killing power will be insufficient against stronger ones.

So we need to gather some materials and try to upgrade it!

Having made up his mind, Yu Xian had already arrived at the foot of the Alchemy Sect’s mountain peak.

At this moment, Yu Xian’s reputation had not yet spread, so even if someone recognized Yu Xian, they only showed a hint of surprise.

However, after a few days, Yu Xian defeated six opponents in one battle, forcing the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Blood River Sect to find excuses to refuse to admit defeat and muddy the waters of the competition. His reputation will then truly spread throughout the Haotian Orthodox Sect!

This is exactly the result Yu Xian wanted.

It’s not that he wants to show off or be known by everyone; he’s not someone who likes to be in the limelight.

However, he needed to spread his name far and wide, through the mouths of hundreds of thousands of Haotian Orthodox disciples. Perhaps in a few months or years, his master, who was cultivating somewhere in the Eastern Continent, would learn of his whereabouts!

This is the only way to quickly find a mentor.

After reaching the summit of Alchemy Peak, Yu Xian arrived at the main hall of the sect and bowed, saying, “Disciple Yu Xian has come to pay respects to the sect master.”

The hall was quiet. After a moment, a calm voice rang out: “Come in.”

Yu Xian stood up and stepped into the main hall.

At the front of the main hall, Hong Shao sat in the high seat, looking at Yu Xian who had entered, and said with a faint smile: “Yu Xian, your trip to the Xuan Tian Secret Realm has greatly enhanced the prestige of my Hao Tian Orthodox Sect. Although that old Taoist traitor refused to admit defeat, the result cannot be changed. Those six evil cultivators are your achievement.”

Yu Xian bowed and said, “I was fortunate to win and wanted to continue killing evil cultivators, but I didn’t expect that old Taoist to try to kill me. Fortunately, the Fifth Elder intervened and saved me. I never thought that Nascent Soul cultivator, such a senior expert, would be such a treacherous villain. Evil cultivators are indeed all birds of a feather, cunning and vicious.”

“Yes, I know about this matter. It was truly dangerous. If Fifth Elder had been a little slower, you would have been completely annihilated even if you had just been grazed by the aftershocks of the Nascent Soul.”

Hong Shao nodded, then raised her hand and summoned a jade bottle that appeared in her delicate hand.

“Although I don’t know what method you used, breaking through realms one after another must have made your foundation unstable. You had no choice but to do so in the emergency, but now that you have returned safely, take this Great Foundation Strengthening Pill. It should have a miraculous effect.”

Fifth-grade superior, Great Strengthening Pill.

Yu Xian’s expression shifted slightly, and he bowed, saying, “This disciple has already received the reward from the sect, how can I accept the sect leader’s reward again?”

“It’s alright, this is a special reward for you. You are a disciple of my Alchemy Sect, and this trip has brought great honor to my sect!”

Hong Shao smiled calmly, raised her hand and tossed the bottle of pills towards Yu Xian.

Yu Xian had no choice but to reach out and accept it, respectfully saying, “This disciple thanks the sect leader for the reward!”

“Um.”

Hong Shao nodded slightly and looked at Yu Xian, saying, “As for your alchemy, Xiao Hua said you have good talent, but your technique is not good. I guess it is because you were slightly misled by your master. You can ask You Xiao Hua for advice in the future to correct your technique. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can also ask me. I know everything about pills below the sixth rank, so don’t worry about it.”

Yu Xian bowed again and said, “This disciple obeys.”

“Yes, go back and cultivate yourself properly. You’ll have three to five years of peace and quiet ahead of you.”

Seeing that Yu Xian’s expression was indifferent and he didn’t seem to have any longing for the way of alchemy, Hong Shao shook her head inwardly and waved her hand lightly.

“This disciple takes his leave.”

Yu Xian bowed respectfully, took a few steps back, then turned and strode away.

As for alchemy, I’m not in a hurry. First of all, I haven’t even fully mastered fourth-order pills yet, so there’s no need for me to learn higher-level alchemy techniques.

When I can refine fourth-grade pills myself, regardless of whether they are low, medium, or high grade, I will be able to easily refine them into top-grade ones.

That’s the time to learn and comprehend the art of refining fifth-order pills.

The art of alchemy cannot be rushed; taking it one step at a time is the most reliable approach.

After leaving the main hall, Yu Xian first consigned the pills he didn’t need to the alchemy hall, then went straight down the mountain gate and headed straight for the weapon refining sect.

The Haotian Orthodox Sect’s Weapon Refining Sect, like the Alchemy Sect, is responsible for supplying magical treasures to the entire sect.

The magic treasures of the sect’s hundreds of thousands of ordinary Qi Condensation disciples, hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples, and even Golden Core elders were mostly purchased from this place, and many were also resold outside, forming a circulation.

After all, the magic weapons produced by the Haotian Orthodox Refining Sect are of excellent quality. Even if they are of the same grade, the magic weapons sold outside are generally inferior.

Yu Xian arrived at the gate of the Weapon Refining Sect.

The Weapon Refining Sect also occupies a high mountain, and this mountain is extremely large, being the largest secondary peak derived from the Lesser Kunlun Mountains!

Within its mountain lies molten lava, a precious fire for refining artifacts, far stronger and more stable than flames generated solely from refined charcoal or magical burning.

The number of disciples here is no less than that of the Alchemy Sect, totaling more than 10,000. People come and go in a constant stream.

Yu Xian stepped in and headed straight for the weapon-refining hall.

At this moment, Yu Xian possessed more than twenty magical treasures, the worst of which were all of the fourth-grade lower level. If he were to sell them all, they should be worth quite a bit.

The weapon-refining hall was bustling with activity. Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment disciples wandered around, searching for the magic weapons they needed. Occasionally, even Golden Core elders would come and go to collect the magic weapons they had customized.

Yu Xian’s arrival was just that of an ordinary member, and no one paid any attention to him.

After glancing around, Yu Xian strode towards a counter with fewer customers. After waiting for the person in front to finish their transaction, he stepped forward, raised his hand, and said with a faint smile, “Junior brother, please.”

Behind the counter was a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Seeing Yu Xian raise his hand in greeting, he quickly returned the greeting, saying, “Oh, greetings, senior brother from the Alchemy Sect.”

Yu Xian’s attire was easy to recognize, and he exuded the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. Naturally, this mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Weapon Refining Sect dared not underestimate him.

Yu Xian smiled and said, “I’d like to sell some magic treasures and then buy some more. Is it convenient for you here, Junior Brother?”

“Convenient, of course it’s convenient.”

The mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator smiled and asked, “What kind of magic weapon does Senior Brother wish to sell?”

Yu Xian didn’t waste any time. He simply took out a storage bag, placed it on the counter, and said, “I’ll sell all the magical treasures inside this storage bag. I’d appreciate it if you could give me an estimate, Junior Brother.”

The cultivator was slightly taken aback. He reached out and placed his hand on the storage bag. As soon as he probed inside, his expression tightened. He quickly looked up at Yu Xian and said, “These, are all these magic treasures for sale, Senior Brother? Aren’t you going to keep them for yourself?”

The fourth-tier medium and high-grade magic treasures in the storage bag are all treasures used by Foundation Establishment cultivators. They are more than enough even for Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators.

But this senior brother from the alchemy sect is actually going to sell it?

Doesn’t he know that selling it is easy, but buying it again would be a completely different price?

Yu Xian smiled calmly and said, “Yes, sell them all.”

“Okay, then.”

After a moment’s thought, the cultivator nodded and said, “I’ll give you an estimate right away, Senior Brother.”

A big business opportunity that just popped up at our doorstep—why not take it? These treasures are all of excellent quality. Buy them at a low price, sell them at a high price, and you’ll make a killing. No need to say more.

The cultivator scanned the storage bag, examining all twenty-three magical treasures. He then turned to Yu Xian and said, “Senior brother, there are twenty-three magical treasures in total, ranging from the lowest to the highest of the fourth rank. I estimate their value at five million three hundred thousand spirit stones. What do you think, senior brother?”

“One price, six million spirit stones.”

Yu Xian smiled faintly and said, “Let’s not waste our breath arguing. You can take the magic weapon.”

“Forehead……”

The cultivator paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, “Fine, I’ll be friends with you, senior brother. I’ll take it for six million. May I ask your name, senior brother? I am Zhou Lu from the Weapon Refining Sect. If you acquire any more magic treasures in the future and wish to sell them, you may come to me.”

“Yu Xian of the Alchemy Sect.”

Yu Xian smiled faintly and said, “If there are any more in the future, I will definitely come to find Junior Brother Zhou.”

“Yu Xian.”

Zhou Lu felt the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn’t quite place it, so he stopped thinking about it and nodded with a smile, “So it’s Senior Brother Yu. Please wait a moment, Senior Brother Yu, I’ll go and report to the elders to mobilize the spirit stones.”

With that, he picked up the storage bag, turned around, and headed straight for the inner hall.

Six million spirit stones is a huge deal, and Zhou Lu naturally doesn’t have that much authority to trade independently.

Yu Xian waited quietly.

A moment later, Zhou Lu strode out and looked at Yu Xian, whose face was filled with shock.

A man followed him out.

Yu Xian recognized the man; he was one of the ten Golden Core cultivators from the Martial Arts Hall earlier!

His name seems to be Zhu Chenglin.

“Haha, Yu Xian, it really is you.”

Zhu Chenglin strode over and said with a smile, “It seems that these magical treasures were obtained from the evil cultivators you killed in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm.”

Yu Xian bowed and said, “This disciple greets the elder. To be honest, those magical treasures were obtained from evil cultivators. Since I have no use for them, I sold them all.”

“Hahaha, awesome, awesome.”

Zhu Chenglin looked at Yu Xian and nodded in praise, “You have truly made a name for yourself within the Haotian Sect this time!”

As he spoke, Zhu Chenglin took out a storage bag and said, “Six million spirit stones, please check.”

“I dare not accept fame; I am merely doing my utmost for the sect.”

Yu Xian smiled slightly, reached out and took the storage bag. After a brief glance, he confirmed the quantity and said with a smile, “Thank you, Elder.”

“No need to thank me.”

Zhu Chenglin smiled and waved his hand, saying, “If you ever need any magic weapons in the future, you can come to me. I am quite skilled in weapon crafting, and I can even craft sixth-order magic weapons.”

With Yu Xian’s talent and combat prowess, the chances of him achieving the Golden Core stage in the future are extremely high!

So let’s get on good terms with him now. When he achieves the Golden Core stage and needs a sixth-tier magic weapon in the future, he will naturally come to us. Over time, we will become friends, which will be a great help!

After all, these Golden Core cultivators who serve as elders in various mountain sects may seem noble, but in reality, they are destined to do manual labor. Their potential has been exhausted, and they are more concerned with interpersonal relationships than with rigorous cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian’s heart stirred, and he smiled and said, “Since Elder says so, then this disciple will not stand on ceremony. This disciple needs a fifth-tier flying magic weapon and a fifth-tier control magic weapon.”

“oh?”

Zhu Chenglin hadn’t expected Yu Xian to be so blunt. He blinked and then laughed, “Fifth-tier magic treasures aren’t cheap, but now that you have six million spirit stones, buying a few is more than enough!”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “Thank you for your trouble, Elder.”

“Come with me.”

Zhu Chenglin smiled, turned around, and headed towards the inner hall.

Fifth-tier magic treasures are expensive; even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t afford them, let alone Qi Condensation disciples.

Therefore, they are usually not sold in the main hall, but in the inner hall.

Yu Xian understood and followed Zhu Chenglin into the inner hall.

There weren’t many people in the inner hall. The lowest cultivation level was that of an inner disciple in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Yu Xian followed along and looked around. Inside the counters, treasures shone brightly. They were all high-grade fourth-tier and fifth-tier magic treasures!

Zhu Chenglin quickly led Yu Xian to a counter, pointed to more than a dozen magical treasures, and laughed: “Fifth-tier superior flying magical treasures, Starlight Shuttle, Wings of the Soaring Dragon, Flying and Earth-Escape Boat, Hundred-Step Boots of Skywalking… Take a look, which one is suitable?”

Yu Xian carefully examined the dozen or so fifth-grade high-quality flying magic treasures inside, and after a moment pointed to the pure white Hundred-Step Boots and asked, “Elder, how much do these boots cost?”

“You have excellent taste. These fifth-grade superior Skywalking Boots are the ones I crafted.”

Seeing that Yu Xian had chosen the Hundred Steps Boots, Zhu Chenglin revealed a smug look and said with a smile, “You have made great contributions to the sect, so it is not appropriate for me to accept such a high price. Two million spirit stones, you can take these boots.”

“Elder’s crafting skills are truly superb. These boots stand out among these dozen or so magical treasures. Although they are of the same grade, they are clearly much better and far superior! That’s why I liked them at first sight.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian raised his hand and gave a thumbs-up, praising Zhu Chenglin highly. Zhu Chenglin was overjoyed and nodded proudly.

“Two million spirit stones… isn’t that a bit too expensive?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xian looked troubled and said, “One-third of these six million spirit stones have already been used up. I was planning to buy some other magic treasures and various pills to help with my cultivation.”

“Um……”

Zhu Chenglin looked thoughtful.

“This disciple truly loves these precious boots. Elder’s crafting skills are divine, these boots are simply unique, and you definitely can’t buy them anywhere else. So if Elder really can’t lower the price, this disciple is willing to pay two million!”

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian immediately straightened his expression and became serious.

“Never mind, this treasure is destined to be yours.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chenglin waved his hand and said, “One million seven hundred thousand is the lowest I can go. The materials for this magic weapon are not cheap either.”

“Okay, one million seven hundred thousand it is!”

Yu Xian’s eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately took out a storage bag containing spirit stones and handed it over.

A fifth-grade superior escape magic treasure, placed in the Golden Scale Pavilion, would be worth at least 2.8 million!

Zhu Chenglin sold it to him for two million, which was already a very cheap price. He then praised it a little more and lowered the price by another 300,000, making it 1.7 million for such a treasure. Naturally, it was a huge profit!

Seeing Yu Xian deftly take out the spirit stone, Zhu Chenglin smiled helplessly and reached out to take it.

Then he raised his hand and waved it, the counter array opened, and the white Void-Stepping Boots flew out!

The moment the boots flew off the counter, their gleam instantly illuminated the surrounding area for several meters!
