Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 538 - 506: Save where saving is due, spend where spending is needed
"If fellow Daoist wishes for the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal, there’s still one available for exchange here."
The Liiu Cultivator responded, putting away the Jade Scroll Manual.
Upon hearing the Liiu Cultivator’s words, Lu Zhiwei’s eyes lit up.
"May I ask how much it costs to exchange for the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal?"
Lu Zhiwei asked.
The Liiu Cultivator extended his hand, showing three fingers.
"It requires thirty thousand Battle Merit Points."
Thirty thousand Battle Merit Points, this was no small sum.
It’s equivalent to three Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, considering the value of the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal, an extremely rare treasure, even if it were sixty thousand Battle Merit Points, it would be worth the exchange.
After a quick communication with Lu Ping, expressing the desire to exchange, Lu Zhiwei requested to inspect the quality of the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal.
As the Liiu Cultivator produced the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal.
The gazes of Lu Ping and Lu Zhiwei immediately fell upon this refining material.
This Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal was about the size of two palms, completely jade white, covered with barely visible, faint purple patterns.
Its hardness exceeded that of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, and when Lu Zhiwei held it, she could feel its heavy weight, at least ten kilograms.
Knocking it produced a dull sound.
As an Artifact Refiner, Lu Zhiwei had a keen eye for selecting refining materials.
Even if it was the first time seeing this Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal, she could roughly estimate the quality and whether it could be readily refined.
The subsequent refining operations, based on the records in the Profound Pure Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, gave Lu Zhiwei great confidence that she could refine it successfully.
"The quality looks good."
After inspecting it for a while, Lu Zhiwei finally responded.
"Hehe, you must be an expert in artifact refining, you certainly have a way to discern the quality of the minerals. This Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal has been here for quite some time."
"If you don’t fancy this piece, it won’t be possible to find another one for the time being."
The Liiu Cultivator said with a smile, sizing up Lu Zhiwei.
"Yes, fellow Daoist has a good eye. I do understand a bit about the Artifact Refining Dao."
With a calm expression, Lu Zhiwei replied politely before immediately producing the Battle Merit Token.
She allocated thirty thousand Battle Merit Points to exchange for the Thousand-year Purple Pattern Crystal.
"Fellow Daoist just entered the Crystallization Stage, right? We have some rather powerful Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, talismans, and such. Are you interested in exchanging for some?"
The Liiu Cultivator said cheerfully.
"Not for the time being."
Lu Zhiwei responded promptly.
For now, refining the Cyan Void Mirror and using the reserved Red Silk Spiritual Artifact from her elder brother seems sufficient.
And there’s still the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.
Besides, being an Artifact Refiner herself,
now having reached the Crystallization Stage, her Magical Power is at a new height, already capable of refining Tier Four Lower Grade Magical Artifacts, ascending to a Tier Four Refiner.
With the ability to refine artifacts herself, why bother exchanging for them?
However, just as Lu Zhiwei was about to refuse, Lu Ping’s voice sounded.
"Exchange for some, don’t just sit on those Battle Merit Points. Use them when you should."
"Given your current abilities, while you can refine Tier Four Lower Grade Magical Artifacts, don’t skimp on equipment with a few ten thousand Battle Merit Points in hand."
"Get a few Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, equip yourself, and stabilize your combat strength."
"As for updating magical artifacts in the future, you can refine them yourself then."
Lu Ping’s tone carried a hint of advice.
As long as the battle on the Southern Wilderness Battlefield isn’t over, you can’t skimp on Spiritual Artifact equipment.
Investment leads to rewards.
Equipping oneself with good Spiritual Artifacts can enhance combat strength, making it easier to handle demon beasts and earn Battle Merit Points, right?
Defensive Spiritual Artifacts can protect oneself, so it’s naturally not a place to skimp.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiwei couldn’t help but smile.
Upon careful consideration, Lu Ping’s words indeed left no room for rebuttal and made sense.
Thus, she heeded Lu Ping’s advice and said to the Liiu Cultivator, "Then, let’s take a look at the Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts."
"Alright."
The Liiu Cultivator nodded, immediately inquiring about Lu Zhiwei’s requirements for Spiritual Artifacts and which type she wanted, to give precise recommendations.
The number of Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts here wasn’t a thousand, but at least eight hundred, enough to overwhelm someone with choices.
Following Lu Ping’s advice, Lu Zhiwei chose defensive types of Spiritual Artifacts.
Among the multitude of defensive Spiritual Artifacts, she eventually chose three.
These three artifacts were all Tier Four Middle Grade in level.
One wearable Profound Spirit Armor.
A Cyan Dragon Ink Jade Pendant, which could deploy a Defensive Light Curtain to block attacks from cultivators of the same tier.
A Wing Feather Spiritual Artifact, Flowing Cloud Wings, that could significantly enhance Lu Zhiwei’s agility, similar to Lu Yuanshan’s Wind Thunder Wings.
Exchanging for these three Spiritual Artifacts cost Lu Zhiwei another fifteen thousand Battle Merit Points.
After the exchange was complete, Lu Zhiwei considered that after the Southern Wilderness campaign, upon returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, she would need to refine a lot of artifacts, so it would be wise to exchange for some Artifact Refining Furnaces and other refining equipment now. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The Artifact Refining Room in the Cyan Mountain Sect could currently only support refining up to Tier Three Top-Grade Magical Artifacts and couldn’t handle Tier Four artifacts.
Refining Tier Four artifacts would require a Tier Four Furnace capable of withstanding Crystal True Flames.
When exchanging for refining furnaces, it’s better to choose well-made ones.
Lu Zhiwei indeed exchanged for a few Tier Five High-Grade Artifact Refining Furnaces for long-term future use.
After all this exchanging, Lu Zhiwei ended up spending over sixty thousand Battle Merit Points, reflecting on how Battle Merit Points seemed to disappear quickly.
Leaving the Resources Hall, Lu Zhiwei headed towards the direction of the Seclusion Chamber without delay and began her seclusion to refine the Cyan Void Mirror that very day.
With the young lady in seclusion, Lu Ping’s gaze soon shifted to Lu Yuanshan’s side.
Spending 5 Reputation Points, he used an Instant Transmission to appear beside Lu Yuanshan, and before him, a gigantic Demon Bird suddenly flew across the sky.
The enormous body overshadowed the sky, casting a wide shadow.
A powerful wave of demon energy spread out, kicking up a fierce wind, raising a cloud of dust in the air.
Roar!
Before Lu Ping could identify the giant Demon Bird above, a deafening beast roar echoed around him.
Lu Ping glanced at the massive Demon Bird flying overhead, recognizing it as a Tier Three Blazing Eagle, being fiercely attacked by two Crystallization Stage Great Cultivators manipulating their Spiritual Artifacts.
Then his gaze turned towards the source of the earth-shaking beast roar, witnessing Lu Yuanshan and Liiu Qiumei acting in unison, each striking with their sword towards the roaring Demon Beast!
In an instant, in the void, a brilliant blue light, matched with a dazzling white Sword Aura, erupted with intense Sword Qi, capturing attention.
Seeing this, Lu Ping’s expression grew serious.
For Yuanshan and Liiu Qiumei to jointly battle, what kind of formidable demon beast was this?
