Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 117 - 101: So Many 3

Unexpectedly, this prompted Gu Xiaoqing to speak.

Just as Luo Yiping was about to suggest that Chu Ning simply shouldn’t go.

In the next moment, Chu Ning had already spoken.

"Senior Sister Gu, there’s no need, I have a magical artifact."

Then, everyone saw Chu Ning take out a shuttle-shaped magical artifact from his storage bag.

"A flying magical artifact?" As a disciple of the Artifact Refining Hall, Shen Zhengquan naturally recognized it at a glance.

"Who would’ve thought Junior Brother Chu has such an artifact, it seems to be quite high-grade, it must’ve cost a fortune."

Chu Ning’s expression remained calm, showing no sign of pride, he just said in a normal tone:

"I earned some spirit stones from selling talismans earlier, so I asked Steward Lin to help me buy one."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yiping, who had been hoping to see Chu Ning make a fool of himself, suddenly looked a bit embarrassed.

The price of a flying magical artifact is over a thousand spirit stones, even he, who had just come to the market from the Outer Sect, didn’t have one yet.

Seeing the situation, Gu Xiaoqing revealed a slight smile.

"That’s great, now we can all go together."

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoqing also took out a flying sword from her storage bag.

Immediately after, each of them flew up, riding their magical artifacts towards Wind Gorge Square.

Along the way, Luo Yiping, cautious in his sword flight, watched Chu Ning effortlessly riding his Wind Chasing Shuttle, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Flying swords indeed allow cultivators to fly, but they are fundamentally different from specialized flying magical artifacts.

The magical power required and the difficulty of controlling them are both high.

Because of this, the sect requires disciples at the late stage of Qi Refining to learn it.

And Chu Ning’s Wind Chasing Shuttle, being an advanced magical artifact, required only a little magical power for it to work smoothly.

It was because he was considering the speed of others, otherwise he would have already sped to Wind Gorge Square.

More than an hour later, the group arrived at Wind Gorge Square.

Although Chu Ning had previously been here once with Lin Changqing, he still followed behind, appearing somewhat inexperienced.

Once inside the market, Luo Yiping turned to Gu Xiaoqing and said:

"Senior Sister Gu, what do you want to buy, should we go with you first?"

At this moment, Gu Xiaoqing slightly shook her head and said:

"Everyone wants to see and buy different things. To save time, why don’t we split up and act separately?

Let’s meet at the market archway in an hour to head back, how about it?"

"That works, better than staying too long," Shen Zhengquan agreed.

Hearing both Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan say so, Luo Yiping could only feel a bit regretful.

As for Chu Ning, he had no objections at all.

Even if Gu Xiaoqing hadn’t suggested it, he would have found an excuse to move separately anyway.

After the group split up, Chu Ning went to a secluded spot in the market.

First, he used an Illusion Technique, then changed into a different set of clothes from his storage bag, instantly transforming into an ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator.

At the same time, Chu Ning released the concealed aura of his Yin Wood Spirit Body, revealing his cultivation at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

Only now did Chu Ning walk towards the Cloud Sea Pavilion in the center of the market.

Today was not an auction day at the Cloud Sea Pavilion, and Chu Ning noticed there were noticeably fewer cultivators than the last time he had been here.

Upon seeing Chu Ning, a Qi Refining Fourth Layer attendant immediately came up to him.

"Senior, may I know if you are here to buy or sell something?"

Chu Ning looked at the attendant, who was a full grade lower than the one from his previous visit, but it wasn’t surprising.

After all, last time he was accompanied by Lin Changqing of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and their treatment was naturally different.

"I want to sell some Basic Upper Grade Talismans and some demon beast materials, there’s a considerable amount, and I’d also like to make some purchases,"

Chu Ning explained his intentions, and the attendant immediately said:

"Alright, please follow me, senior."

The attendant led Chu Ning to a room where a female cultivator, appearing about thirty-six or thirty-seven, was seated.

This female cultivator was also at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. Although not exceptionally beautiful, her eyes exuded a certain charm.

After the attendant explained Chu Ning’s purpose, the female cultivator warmly welcomed him.

"I am Zhang. May I know your surname, fellow Daoist? Would you like to sell your items first or make purchases?"

"My surname is Li." Chu Ning casually gave a surname.

He didn’t directly answer the question but instead asked:

"When trading at the Cloud Sea Pavilion, can my identity and information be kept confidential?"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator Zhang smiled sweetly and said:

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, our Cloud Sea Pavilion has a well-known reputation for confidentiality in markets within a few thousand miles.

Whether you’re buying or selling here, once you leave the Cloud Sea Pavilion, no one will know."

Chu Ning listened and nodded slightly.

"Let’s first see if you will take these items,"

Chu Ning said as he started taking out items.

The first things he took out were items he obtained from the Blood Spot One-Horned Ape’s lair.

"Five pairs of Iron Armor Bull Horns, three pairs of Wild Spirit Pig Fangs..."

As Chu Ning took the items out one by one, the female cultivator Zhang kept tallying them.

Her tone didn’t express much surprise, as it was natural for Chu Ning, being at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining,

to be able to hunt a considerable amount of Tier One Intermediate or lower demon beasts if he wished to.

Still, she was a bit puzzled, wondering why Chu Ning would be so concerned about leaking information while selling low-tier demon beast materials.

Though thinking this, she refrained from saying much.

She simply watched as Chu Ning continued taking items out of his storage bag.

When Chu Ning took out two pieces of Blood Spot One-Horned Ape hide and its horn, the female cultivator’s eyes finally showed a flash of light.

"Oh, it’s such a complete Blood Spot One-Horned Ape’s hide and horn."

Chu Ning then stopped taking things out and asked the charming female cultivator: 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Zhang, how much are these worth in spirit stones?"

The female cultivator Zhang pondered for just a moment and then said:

"The materials from Tier One Intermediate or lower demon beasts you handed over earlier aren’t very valuable, worth about 300 spirit stones in total.

The Blood Spot One-Horned Ape’s hide and horn are well-preserved.

The hide is worth 50 lower grade spirit stones. For the horn, I’ll offer 300 spirit stones each, totaling 700 spirit stones.

Does this satisfy you, Fellow Daoist?"

Chu Ning nodded and didn’t speak; the price seemed fair.

Then he took out a bunch of talismans from his storage bag and placed them on the table.

"Please check the prices for these Basic Middle Grade Talismans and Basic Upper Grade Talismans?"

The female cultivator Zhang was momentarily stunned.

"These are all Basic Upper Grade Talismans and Basic Middle Grade Talismans, and so many of them?"
