Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 120 - 102: Over Ten Thousand Spirit Stones and Spirit Stone Jade Talismans
After taking a close look at the introduction of the Divine Wood Longbow, Chu Ning immediately decided, this is the one!
This Divine Wood Longbow can actually launch the spells he casts as magical arrows, and can even double the damage of the spells.
Paired with his Cangmu Sword Technique, it not only offers continuous damage but can also increase burst damage, quite fitting indeed.
When Chu Ning glanced at the price at the back, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
This offensive magical artifact is actually priced at a whopping 1200 Spirit Stones, comparable to the defensive magical artifacts of the same tier.
When Chu Ning brought up this question, Female Cultivator Zhang smiled and explained:
"Fellow Daoist Li may not know, this bow was originally a top-level magical artifact, capable of launching spells with arrows, further enhancing their power."
"However, due to various reasons, the arrows were lost. After our pavilion’s research, we discovered the current method of usage."
"But the bow’s quality is definitely at the top level of magical artifacts, so a higher price is justifiable."
Hearing the woman’s words, Chu Ning showed a hint of surprise.
He then handed the Jade Scroll back to Female Cultivator Zhang.
"Then I’ll take this item."
Female Cultivator Zhang accepted the Jade Scroll and sent a message again.
Soon, a longbow, entirely green and covered in runes, was brought in.
Female Cultivator Zhang handed over the longbow, Spiritual Essence Pill, Pure Yang Stone Powder, and Meridian Passage Body Tempering Pill to Chu Ning.
"A total of nine thousand two hundred Spirit Stones, leaving one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four Spirit Stones remaining.
Would Fellow Daoist prefer to receive them directly or store them in the Spirit Stone Jade Talisman?"
"Spirit Stone Jade Talisman?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was slightly taken aback.
He suddenly remembered the Jade Talisman he obtained from Old Man Sun’s Storage Bag back then.
Before heading out today, to avoid detection if it had any connection with Cloud Sea Pavilion, he had deliberately left it at Yan Workshop.
Could it be that what Female Cultivator Zhang is referring to is that very thing?
"The Spirit Stone Jade Talisman is a special Jade Talisman we produce at Cloud Sea Pavilion, mainly used for storing Spirit Stones.
Some customers find it inconvenient to carry a lot of Spirit Stones, so they store them with us at Cloud Sea Pavilion."
Female Cultivator Zhang explained at this moment.
"We then give the customer a Jade Talisman as a token, on which the amount of Spirit Stones is recorded.
With this token, one can withdraw Spirit Stones at any Cloud Sea Pavilion or directly use it to offset purchases."
At this point, Female Cultivator Zhang smiled and said:
"This Jade Talisman is also one of the symbols of our Jade Sea Pavilion’s identity, usually only issued when the deposit exceeds five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
With this Jade Talisman, you will have a designated attendant upon entry to the pavilion and certain discounts on purchases.
You must have heard of the pavilion’s auction, where you can directly participate with this Jade Talisman, regardless of whether you have a high-tier cultivator as an introducer."
From Female Cultivator Zhang’s words, Chu Ning roughly understood the usage of the Jade Talisman.
Chu Ning did not directly respond to the other party’s words but instead said to Female Cultivator Zhang:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhang can show me a Jade Talisman, I’ve never seen one before."
"Of course!" Female Cultivator Zhang said and took out a Jade Talisman, handing it to Chu Ning.
Indeed, that’s the thing!
Chu Ning took it in his hand and recognized with a glance that this Jade Talisman was identical to the one in Old Man Sun’s Storage Bag back then.
However, he remained expressionless on the surface.
He merely held it and curiously asked Female Cultivator Zhang:
"Can others use this Jade Talisman?"
"Yes." Female Cultivator Zhang nodded, "This talisman is anonymous, we recognize the talisman, not the person."
Chu Ning basically understood the situation, then returned the Jade Talisman to Female Cultivator Zhang.
"I don’t have five thousand Spirit Stones in hand right now."
Female Cultivator Zhang did not reach out to take it but smiled and said:
"Though Fellow Daoist does not have that many Spirit Stones left now, you have conducted enough transactions in our pavilion this time to meet the conditions for receiving a Jade Talisman."
Chu Ning pondered for a moment and then nodded:
"That works too, store a thousand Spirit Stones in this Jade Talisman for now, as for the rest, I won’t deposit them yet, I have uses for them."
While saying this, Chu Ning also thought to himself.
The next time there is an opportunity, I should bring Old Man Sun’s Jade Talisman to Cloud Sea Pavilion to see how many Spirit Stones are inside.
According to Chu Ning’s guess, Old Man Sun’s Jade Talisman was likely obtained from auctioning the Seven-Star Spirit Fruit at Cloud Sea Pavilion.
But given the fierce battle he experienced before, it seems he used quite a lot of items, and it’s hard to tell how many Spirit Stones remain in that Jade Talisman.
While Chu Ning was thinking this, Female Cultivator Zhang placed the Jade Talisman and Spirit Stones in front of Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Li, it’s ready now.
But do remember to keep this Jade Talisman safe, because if it’s lost, we at Cloud Sea Pavilion only recognize this Jade Talisman."
Chu Ning nodded, showing that he understood, and without saying more, he got up to leave.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!" Female Cultivator Zhang then stood up as well.
And she smiled at Chu Ning, asking:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any interest in becoming an Honored Guest Rune Master for our Cloud Sea Pavilion, there’s no other obligation, just regularly sell the runes you draw to us.
No matter how many, we can pay according to today’s price.
And if Fellow Daoist buys anything from our pavilion, there’s also a certain discount on Spirit Stones."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ning immediately shook his head.
"Not interested, I’m used to being free and easy."
He naturally had no interest in directly associating with Cloud Sea Pavilion as an Honored Guest.
Seeing his response, Female Cultivator Zhang’s face did not show much change, and she continued to smile:
"That’s quite a pity, but if you have talismans of the same quality in the future, we hope you’ll consider coming to our Cloud Sea Pavilion."
Chu Ning nodded noncommittally, thinking to himself that he should avoid selling talismans at Cloud Sea Pavilion in the short term, as it’s too conspicuous.
With that, Chu Ning left the room with some polite words from Female Cultivator Zhang.
Female Cultivator Zhang did not leave the room, instead the attendant outside escorted Chu Ning out of Cloud Sea Pavilion.
After exiting Cloud Sea Pavilion, Chu Ning found a secluded place, undid the Illusion Technique, and restored his original appearance.
At the same time, the Yin Wood Spirit Body concealed his aura, transforming into the appearance of the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
After wandering around for a bit, he re-entered Cloud Sea Pavilion.
