Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"..."

Seeing Gu Jingsong's expression, Zhang Yan gave an ugly smile.

He really didn't want the magic weapon in his hand!
This thing isn't a wife, why do you have to use your first hand?

The key is.

He is different from normal people.

Ordinary cultivators may need to customize brand-new magical artifacts for various reasons.

They were also afraid that someone might leave a hidden door on this magical artifact.

They even fear that secondhand artifacts might be of poor quality.

A brand new magic weapon is needed.

But for Zhang Yan, the quality of the magic weapon was not important.

The most important thing is the entry above.

Only the entries can be of the greatest help to him.

But seeing Gu Jingsong's expression, it seemed as if not wanting the new magic weapon meant looking down on their Heavenly Dao Sect.

Zhang Yan could only sigh and then said, "Senior Gu, it's like this, I have a set of top-grade magic weapon flying swords, and I need some materials to forge them into magic treasures."

As for the new magical artifacts you offered, I don't want them.

After all, if all goes well, I only need to take an assessment to enter the Human Race Alliance.

Whether I'll use these magical treasures at that time is another matter.

It's highly likely we won't need it.

That would be a waste. Although the Heavenly Dao Sect has a lot of resources, it shouldn't be wasted like this.

After all, this is something you've worked hard to accumulate.

For the inscriptions on the magic weapon.

Zhang Yan could only try to persuade him with earnest words.

"Hmm~
What you said makes sense.

Gu Jingsong was surprised to see that Zhang Yan was able to think from their perspective completely.

My impression of him improved even more.

Zhang Yan is a truly kind-hearted child!
However, this is precisely why they continue to increase their investment.

Kind-hearted, always repaying kindness, not rigid, and even possessing great potential.

This kind of people.

It will definitely succeed.

If it doesn't succeed, then it's just fate playing tricks on us.

"Alright, since you want to forge your flying sword, I'll give you some resources and a lot of spirit stones. You can decide for yourself."

But I have one request.

After you complete the modifications, your combat effectiveness must be tested against our experience.

Gu Jingsong thought for a moment and then spoke to Zhang Yan.

"That's natural."

Upon hearing Gu Jingsong's words, Zhang Yan agreed without hesitation.

Gu Jingsong, this is the big spender 1
The sugar daddy gives you money and resources, and doesn't even want your skin; he only wants your fighting strength.

Are there any other wealthy patrons in the world?

so.

The demands of the client must be met.

I'm thoroughly satisfied!

……

Gu Jingsong quickly fulfilled Zhang Yan's promise.

He allocated sufficient resources to Zhang Yan.

They even gave him six million spirit stones to buy magical artifacts.

Actually, normally speaking...

Six million spirit stones sounds like a lot.

However, it's actually a bit tight when it comes to buying magical artifacts.

but……

If used to buy second-hand magic items.

That would be more than enough.

after all.

As we all know, secondhand items are generally not very good priced.

It will be significantly discounted.

Especially with magical artifacts, other Golden Elixir cultivators have a longer lifespan.

These secondhand items are bound to have some damage, or even functional problems.

At this point, the price becomes incredibly low.

Sometimes, they are even considered completely useless by others.

It can only be used as a material.

The price is less than one-tenth of the price of the new product.

This is exactly what Zhang Yan is after.

He wants this magical artifact!
As long as the magic item has enough entries, that's enough for him.

After all, his main battle weapon still relies on his Five Elements Heavenly Gang Sword Formation.

Although the magical artifacts crafted by others were excellent, they did not suit his taste.

and……

Zhang Yan's greatest skill doesn't lie in his magical artifacts.

Rather, it lies in supernatural powers.

Even after purchasing enough magical treasures, he still wanted to continue studying supernatural powers.

Ideally, one should comprehend the Daoist principles contained within all supernatural powers to the point of mastery.

Even perfect.

In that case, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone, even in the Human Race Alliance's assessment.

The first thing he did after reaching the Golden Core stage was to begin forging his own flying sword.

He needs to forge all 360 of his top-grade spiritual swords into magical treasures.

This is an astronomical expense.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Sect paid the bill.

But even so.

The Heavenly Dao Sect only promised to forge it into a mid-grade magic weapon for him.

Rather than a high-grade magic weapon or a top-grade magic weapon.

The reason is also very simple.

If all of them were to be crafted into top-tier magic weapons, the expense would be far too great.

Even their Heavenly Dao Sect couldn't quite manage to overpower them.

More than three hundred top-grade magic weapons.

Only a madman would provide such financial assistance.

No.

If Zhang Yan were truly given the resources of 360 top-grade magic weapons.

That wouldn't be considered funding.

That would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Destroy the very foundation of your own sect!
Their Heavenly Dao Sect hasn't reached that point of madness yet.

However, even if it's just a mid-grade magic weapon
For Zhang Yan, that was enough.

in this way.

Five years have passed.

Zhang Yan also successfully replaced all his flying swords with mid-grade magic weapons.

"Collect it~"

Inside the weapon-refining workshop.

Zhang Yan took a light sip.

Suddenly, five-colored flying swords appeared between heaven and earth.

As these flying swords hummed, their sword energy surged forth, vast and mighty, like an endless river of sword energy. The unrestrained sword energy was so strong that even a specialized weapon-refining workshop could hardly withstand it.

A faint sword mark appeared.

"Change!"

The three hundred and sixty flying swords immediately underwent various changes in the air.

A towering tree will appear, taking root and growing, its dense branches piercing the sky, and every branch and every leaf radiating intense sword energy.

In a moment, it descended from the sky like a giant hill. A hill-shaped magical artifact should be heavy and powerful, with the main purpose of overwhelming everything.

But his mountain of sword energy was not only thick and heavy, but also sharp.

It's totally unreasonable.

Or, in the blink of an eye, his flying sword becomes like a flowing river, as if it came from ancient times, washing away all the sins of the world.

His flying sword has become much more powerful.

Not only that.

He also gained a deeper understanding of weapon crafting.

Don’t say anything else.

He is now able to independently refine high-grade magic weapons.

Top-grade magic weapon!

This is no longer a low-level magical artifact or spiritual weapon.

According to Gu Jingsong.

It can refine high-grade magic weapons.

Even if they go to the Great World, they can still gain a certain degree of respect within the Human Race Dao Alliance.

after all……

Above the magic weapon is the spiritual weapon.

Lingbao.

Unless one is a cultivator at the True Self Realm, it is difficult to refine.

"Next, we need to buy a large number of second-hand magic weapons." With a thought, Zhang Yan sent 360 flying swords into his sleeves like fish, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

Zhongtufang Market.

It is located in the center of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Spirit Treasure Sect.

It is the largest market town in the Central Plains. It covers tens of thousands of acres and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of cultivators every day.

Countless people rely on the Central Plains Market for their livelihood.

Moreover, this market town is shared by the five major sects of the Central Plains.

There have always been Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed here.

In addition, the law enforcement team composed of Golden Core cultivators patrols day and night, and anyone who makes a move within a 300-mile radius of the market will be killed without exception.

Therefore, this neighborhood rightfully became the largest market town in Middle-earth.

A five-colored streak of light appeared, moving slowly and leisurely, showing no sign of urgency.

"Is this the Central Plains Market?" Zhang Yan stopped his escape light and looked at the market in the distance.

The market was filled with spiritual energy and flashes of light, making it seem quite extraordinary.

"Let's go in and take a look." Following the flow of people, we arrived at the entrance of the market.

There are two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators guarding the city gate at the entrance of the market.

He could sense the aura of a Golden Core cultivator, who was constantly monitoring the area.

“Tsk~
Is this Zhongtufang Market?

They're really rolling in money.

Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

The gatekeepers here are all Golden Core cultivators.

That's just too extravagant.

"One spirit stone per day for entering the market." The two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the city saw that Zhang Yan was a Golden Core cultivator.

They were quite polite in their speech.

"Let's start with 100 days." Zhang Yan said, waving his hand and counting out 100 spirit stones from his storage bag.

“Alright, senior, please accept this.” A Foundation Establishment cultivator accepted Zhang Yan’s spirit stones.

Then he handed him a gray stone.

Zhang Yan looked at it curiously.

This gray stone looks ordinary, but it has some formations engraved on it.

It's a formation related to time.

Once 100 days have passed, Zhang Yan will be automatically reminded.

The market will also be notified at the same time.

This is to prevent people from paying money and then staying inside the market without coming out.

Moreover, one must have this gray stone as proof to leave the market.

After glancing at it, he put the gray stone away.

Then we entered the market area.

It must be said that the markets in Middle-earth are indeed quite prosperous.

Upon entering, there were hardly any vendors.

It's all individual shops.

Looking at the dazzling array of shops on both sides of the road, Zhang Yan frowned slightly.

Although the market here is very bustling.

But he didn't like it.

What he needs is a second-hand magic weapon.

As is well known, secondhand magical artifacts are usually sold by street vendors.

If you were to sell it to a store, you would definitely be forced to lower the price significantly.

"What should we do?" Zhang Yan wandered around the market.

However, this Zhongtu Market is really quite large.

Without flying, it's difficult to explore the whole area on foot.

However, flying is strictly prohibited in Zhongtufang City.

There are even special formations within the market area.

Anyone who dares to fly will be punished, except for the law enforcement team and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed in the market.

The rest will be attacked by the formation.

Zhang Yan didn't want to get into this trouble.

Finally, having no other choice, they could only find a servant who sold information here.

These servants are usually ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

They might even be just ordinary mortals.

It's just that I've lived in the market area for a long time.

I am quite familiar with the market area.

Of course.

Some of them were released by individual shops.

They specialize in attracting business for shops.

For example, the drivers at the train station entrance, and those mysterious middle-aged women who ask you if you need accommodation.

The one Zhang Yan found was a boy who seemed rather honest.

The child was about ten years old, and the Taoist robe he was wearing was already worn and faded.

But it was very clean.

"Do you know where there are any secondhand magical artifacts that can be traded?"

"I need a lot of secondhand magical artifacts." Zhang Yan glanced at the other party and asked softly.

“I know that Yi Bao Zhai has a large number of second-hand magic treasures.”

The young man, with his eyes wide open, smiled and said to Zhang Yan.

"Yibaozhai?"
I don't want this.

You should try another one, preferably a private transaction between cultivators.

He glanced at the child, his voice turning cold.

"That……

"I know a place where all the magical artifacts are secondhand." The child shrank his neck and said cautiously to Zhang Yan.

"Let's go." Zhang Yan nodded.

Then the two walked forward one after the other.

soon.

It took them almost half an hour to walk there.

The two finally arrived at their destination.

Upon arriving here, Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

This street was different from the bustling market shops I had seen before.

They were all street vendors.

"I knew it! No matter how rich the Central Plains are, there will always be poor people!" For some reason, Zhang Yan felt a sense of kinship when he saw these vendors setting up stalls.

"Master Dao, we've arrived." The child said with a fawning smile, his eyes fixed intently on Zhang Yan as he spoke.

"Alright, that's all for you. You can leave now." Zhang Yan said, tossing out a few spirit stones.

"Thank you, Daoist Master! Thank you, Daoist Master!"

The child picked up the spirit stone and immediately beamed with joy.

He's just an ordinary person.

Earning spirit stones is actually very difficult.

On weekdays.

If you encounter a cultivator with a good temper, you can give them a spirit stone.

If you encounter someone with a bad temper, they might not even give you a single piece.

There was nothing he could do!
This was the first time he had ever seen someone as generous as Zhang Yan!

After thanking them profusely, they left.

Zhang Yan also walked into this street lined with stalls.

This street is not long.

He quickly took a stroll around.

Unfortunately, although there are some second-hand magic weapons here.

However, the quantity is too small.

"never mind.

"I'll keep it myself." Zhang Yan thought for a moment.

Then I simply found an empty seat.

Sit down cross-legged, with a piece of cloth placed in front of you.

Then I wrote a few words.

High prices for secondhand magical artifacts!

Children and old men are not deceived!

Still getting a new one!

After finishing writing, Zhang Yan was very satisfied.

Then we just wait for those who are willing to take the bait.

Anyway, he has plenty of time.

Actually, it wasn't long.

Then someone walked up to his stall.

"Excuse me, senior, do you accept magical artifacts here?" a delicate voice asked.

Zhang Yan opened his eyes.

They saw a female cultivator wearing a white gauze dress and a bamboo hat.

Although the female cultivator had a magical artifact to conceal her identity.

But Zhang Yan saw it at a glance.

The other party was just a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

"I'll take it." Zhang Yan frowned slightly, then nodded gently.

However, he had some doubts.

How could a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator possibly possess a magic weapon!

"I have a magical treasure here. I wonder if you would accept it, senior?" The female cultivator said, taking out a jade pendant-like object from her storage bag and placing it in front of Zhang Yan.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yan was stunned when he saw the jade pendant.

Don't tell me yet.

This really is a magic weapon!
Moreover, it's a top-grade magic weapon!
"I'll take it. How much are you looking to sell it for?" Zhang Yan smiled upon seeing the magical artifact. (End of Chapter)
