Chapter 868 -862: Deceiving Treasure Targeted by Someone

“Daoist Friend, what brings you to our humble shop today?”

The Old Turtle greeted warmly, subtly scrutinizing the ghostly Ghost Item before him, particularly taking note of the Skull Wand in the figure’s hand.

The Skull Wand appeared to be forged from the skull of some malevolent creature, with several sharp, curved horns, and dark eye sockets harboring a faint red Ghost Fire. Within the maw filled with sharp fangs, there was a Treasure Bead radiating a ghostly light.

Though the Ghost’s strength seemed average, the wand itself was rather extraordinary.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the flame in the skull’s eye sockets was likely a Demon Flame from some Netherworld Hell, possessing the power to incinerate souls, while the bead emitted a chilling Yin Qi.

Strangely enough, it was a Ghost Dao Divine Artifact containing both ice and fire powers, which was quite rare!

The Old Turtle, with his sharp eyes and mastery of the art of divination, quickly assessed the ghost’s worth, noting that the Skull Wand was the most valuable thing about him, followed by a Ghost Claw hanging at his waist.

As for his Storage Magical Treasure, it revealed little treasure glimmer, so the Old Turtle cast a fleeting glance and then ignored it.

In conclusion, the Old Turtle thought, this was a pauper with little to his name beyond two treasures for combat.

Yet, in business, one must greet customers from all corners with a smile to widen the financial road network. Moreover, this was the little Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion branch’s first customer, so he was naturally treated with enthusiasm.

Thus, the smile on the Old Turtle’s face grew even more sincere. However, to the ghost, this seemed more devious, as if ready to empty his pockets, leaving him anxious and fearful.

At that moment, the ghost regretted deeply, wondering why he impulsively walked into this notoriously dangerous shop.

Everyone knew that the owner of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion had recently annihilated Sea King Arthur and hundreds of his subordinates. Now, if they targeted him for murder and robbery, losing his treasures, he might also lose his life!

Having previously died once and remaining only as a soul, this ghost highly valued life.

Nevertheless, the overwhelming lure from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion drew him in.

The ghost looked up at the Old Turtle’s seemingly innocent but sly and scheming smile, silently lamenting!

Now, it was too late to turn back!

The Old Turtle saw this Little Ghost foolishly staring at him without speaking, appearing terrified, which he found somewhat exasperating.

Still, he gently inquired again, using a soothing tone to calm the ghost’s nerves, hoping not to scare him away.

“I…”

The ghost, noticing that the old man with the turtle shell wasn’t as intimidating as he appeared, cautiously replied, “I was drawn here by the scent; earlier, I smelled something that comforted my soul body.”

As he spoke, his gaze followed the fragrance to the Purple Sand Pot in Qin Feng’s hand!

“…”

Qin Feng was slightly surprised, then chuckled.

He had forgotten that the tea he brewed for himself today was Soul Nourishing Tea.

Although at his Cultivation Realm, Soul Nourishing Tea had minimal effect, a cup now and then helped relax during cultivation breaks.

Within the second layer of the Demon Refining Pot, aside from the original Spiritual Tea and Immortal Tea, he had planted many tea trees, and with other layers producing Spiritual Tea and Immortal Tea, he was never short of them.

Unexpectedly, today’s tea gathered this Ghost Item here.

Hmm, perhaps he could acquire more treasures to attract powerful beings from various races. Once they entered his shop, they’d likely leave behind valuable items.

Qin Feng sat up, ignoring the ghost’s low strength, and shook the Purple Sand Pot, stating: “Indeed, this tea nurtures the soul and enhances the soul body.

I see your ghostly soul body has cultivated to the Demigod Peak but is stuck at a bottleneck, unable to advance. If you’re seeking external aid for a breakthrough, Soul Nourishing Tea is quite invaluable to you.

However, although powerful, Soul Nourishing Tea is extremely rare. My stock is limited, hence it’s quite expensive…” free𝑤ebnovel.com

He paused, meaning implied, understood by the ghost.

Sure enough, the ghost showed a hint of embarrassment.

He knew well what treasures he had; what was in his Storage Magical Treasure was barely enough to buy aids for an advancement.

Unless… he relinquished his life-saving Skull Wand for resources.

But, without the Skull Wand, his combat power would significantly drop. How could he then face other powerful beings?

Though lacking flesh and blood Essence Qi, killing him would still yield benefits.

Besides his treasures, his soul body held a Soul Pearl, and if absorbed and refined by a peer, it could enhance their soul’s strength, making it enviable!

While hesitating, Qin Feng smiled and said: “Being my first customer, I’ll offer you a discount—half price for a can of Soul Nourishing Tea!”

“Really?”

The ghost was pleasantly surprised, quickly looking at Qin Feng to check for mockery.

“Why would it be fake?”

Qin Feng chuckled: “Just a can of tea, nothing much to me.

Yet, though your Yin Qi is abundant, it’s chaotic with other Yin Evil Auras mixed in. Even with the tea, you might not reach the Death God Realm!”

“You’re correct. Some years ago, to enhance power, I absorbed much Yin Evil Aura, later pursued by enemies and ending up in the Abandoned Land. Seeking Yin Treasures to balance my aura was futile, delaying my advancement!”

The ghost sighed lightly, internally amazed by Qin Feng’s discernment—after just a glance, he saw through his condition!

Qin Feng continued: “In your state, advancing requires additional treasures.

I have some Soul Nourishing Wood, Yin Spirit Flower, Ghost Dragon Vine, Bone Corrosion Grass, White Bone Ghost Bamboo, even Ghost King Inner Core, Death God Soul Pearl, and Netherworld God Crystal Core available.

But the latter items, while guaranteeing advancement, are pricier.

As a business, offering discounted tea is already extra care, other things aren’t priced similarly. Buy or not, it’s up to you!”

Qin Feng finished, nodding at the ghost, then reclined back on his leisure chair.

The ghost’s expression fluctuated, clearly moved by Qin Feng’s words.

Especially when he heard Qin Feng mention items like the Ghost King Inner Core, Death God Soul Pearl, and Netherworld God Crystal Core, greed sprouted in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was quickly brought back to reality by his empty pockets.

Finally, he looked at the magic wand in his hand.

This was a powerful divine artifact he had acquired by chance in his home world. It was with this item that he managed to cultivate to his current level, and it had helped him fend off many strong enemies in the past!

However, no matter how good a treasure is, it’s ultimately external; true strength lies in one’s own power.

Especially since he is still only at the Demigod Peak realm. Although he can contend with ordinary gods with the help of the Skull Wand, his life is short. He has been surviving cautiously in the Abandoned Land for thousands of years.

If he doesn’t make a breakthrough soon, his soul body’s lifespan will reach its limit in less than three thousand years, and he will still dissipate.

Only by advancing to a Death God and becoming one of the gods can he live longer, with a glimmer of hope to escape this place in the future.

Even if escape from the Abandoned Land proves impossible, achieving godhood would allow him to survive for countless years. For a ghostly entity like him, this is far better than watching his soul body dissipate!

With this thought, the ghost hardened his heart and looked at the Old Turtle in front of him, who was appraising him with a smile, extending the magic wand and saying, “This wand was crafted from the skull of a powerful Death God in the Netherworld.

It not only contains powerful law forces but also can cast various powerful undead spirit magic. Please assess its value, and tell me if it can be exchanged for a Death God Soul Pearl or a Netherworld God Crystal Core?”

The Old Turtle chuckled internally. This ghost doesn’t seem to know how many years it has been alive, yet it’s still so easily swayed.

But then again, hardly anyone can remain calm when facing treasures that could help them advance, much less a ghostly entity driven by posthumous obsessions, which has a clear yearning for powerful forces.

The Old Turtle pretended to evaluate the wand, playing with it in his hand for a while. He was actually more impressed with it than he initially estimated, as its undead spirit laws and powers were a notch higher than presumed.

This ghost, though having obtained the wand for many years, could only unleash its ordinary powers. Most of its might remained sealed and unreleased.

It is likely because the ghost lacks the strength to unlock it, having not yet attained the rank of Death God, which is why the Skull Wand is only being used as a mundane divine artifact.

However, the Old Turtle said, “This is indeed an extraordinary Netherworld divine artifact, but you see, neither my master nor those of us working for him practice the Undead Spirit Principles, so its value to us is greatly diminished.

Regarding the Death God Soul Pearl and Netherworld God Crystal Core, you know how priceless these treasures are, and this wand alone isn’t enough for an exchange!”

Upon hearing this, the ghost became disheartened, feeling both unwilling yet somewhat helpless.

Indeed, the wand he regarded as a treasure is difficult to unleash its power in the hands of those who don’t follow the Undead Spirit Path!

Just as the ghost prepared to retrieve his wand dispiritedly, the Old Turtle continued, “However, my master has stated that, seeing as you’re the first guest of our Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, it’s only right to offer some special consideration.

Therefore, I will reappraise your wand and offer an exchange for a piece of Soul Nourishing Tea, a chunk of Soul Nourishing Wood, and I will also take it upon myself to add some Ghost Dragon Vine, Yin Spirit Pill, and Soul Strengthening Fragrance to the deal.”

“This?”

The ghost hesitated.

He was unsure if these items would help him advance.

If he traded his divine artifact for treasures that failed to help him advance, he would be left with nothing.

Seeing the look of hesitance on the ghost, the Old Turtle quickly added, “How about this? Since it hasn’t been easy for you, I’ll throw in a bottle of Spirit Refining Liquid to wash away the Yin evil aura on you!

With these things, I’m sure you can progress further in cultivation and become a Death God early.

However, in this case, your wand alone wouldn’t cover the cost, and you would need to offer additional treasures to settle the account!”

Upon hearing this, the ghost felt tempted once again.

The Old Turtle continued his persuasion: “If you’re reluctant to part with this divine artifact, you can wait until you advance to gather resources to repurchase this death artifact.

Since there aren’t that many undead spirits in the settlement, our Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion will hold this wand for you for three years, assuring it won’t be sold within this period.

If you’re able to come up with treasures of equal value within the allotted time, you can redeem your wand. What do you say?”

“Alright!”

Finally, the ghost couldn’t resist, nodding swiftly, fearing the Old Turtle might retract the offer: “Deal!”

Under the Old Turtle’s persuasion, he exchanged several relatively non-precious Yin attribute treasures for a powerful undead spirit divine artifact, a decently-crafted Ghost Claw, and a pile of miscellaneous materials.

Watching the ghost excitedly leave, the Old Turtle shrugged, tossing the pile of Yin attribute spiritual materials aside before presenting the Skull Wand to Qin Feng as if offering a treasure: “Master, this wand is quite formidable, comparable to a True Spirit level Immortal Artifact in the Cultivation World, except most of its power is sealed, making it look like an ordinary death artifact!”

Master’s decision to open a branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion here was indeed wise. Even if such exceptionally foolish patrons become rarer in the future, we could still exchange abundant treasures using ordinary materials!

Qin Feng glanced at the Skull Wand before tossing it beside the Hellhound sleeping by the Netherworld River on the sixth level of the Demon Refining Pot.

“Leave it here for now. If that ghost hasn’t brought up equivalent treasures within three years, let the Hellhound gnaw on it!”

Having grown accustomed to gnawing on various undead spirit bones since its youth, this Skull Wand—filled with potent undead spirit laws and massive energy—would likely suit its unique taste.

As for that ghost, even if it could advance to Death God, it likely wouldn’t bring treasures of equal value to reclaim the wand!

However, once the news spread that the ghost left Qin Feng’s place safely and even purchased treasures for advancement to a Death God, it caused quite a stir.

Initially, passing beings were in awe of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, fearing that once inside, there’d be no return!

Now, knowing that the Pavilion is merely a marketplace with abundant treasures, it instantly attracted countless beings.

Especially when they learned it contained treasures aiding with advancement, they flocked eagerly, hoping to find suitable cultivation treasures.

After all, in the Abandoned Land, such treasures helpful for cultivation and advancement are exceptionally scarce, so it’s no wonder all kinds of powerful beings flocked to the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion.

Especially later, a couple more individuals managed to advance using resources purchased from the Pavilion. Even though they only advanced from Demigod Peak to Lower God Spirit, it drew considerable attention.

As a result, using relatively average spiritual resources, Qin Feng could exchange for many rare otherworldly treasures.

The only issue is whether he’ll be able to leave the Abandoned Land in the future; otherwise, many of these items may not be convertible to cash, though there will always be demand even if the price is somewhat higher.

The only problem is if he can leave the Abandoned Land in the future; otherwise, if these items cannot be liquidated, many things will continue targeting his collection at the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion!
