Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 22 Thousand Treasure Peak

"15 spirit stones!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was overjoyed, but he pretended to hesitate for a moment before slowly saying, "Alright, let's do as Senior Brother says."

The spirit stones were delivered.

Both were satisfied; one had sold the useless scrap, and the other had acquired a rare treasure.

With this mask, Zhang Yan was already very satisfied with this trip.

Well worth the trip!

"We still have quite a few spirit stones left. Should we buy some medicinal herbs?"

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he decided against it, mainly because Deacon Bai had given him a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills.

However, the success rate of alchemy at the minor level is not guaranteed, and it is possible to spend money to refine medicine but not recoup the investment.

"I'm still short of money!" Zhang Yan sighed. The cost of a batch of pills was too high, and besides, he didn't have a fire-type spiritual root, nor did he know any fire-type spells.

To refine pills, you need special spiritual charcoal or earth fire.

Both of these are quite eye-catching resources and are very likely to be remembered.

He just wanted to farm quietly, cultivate his skills, and be an unremarkable little genius; he didn't want to stand out too much.

The sect's market is far too small.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yan had already finished shopping. Apart from buying the Hidden Mask, he didn't buy anything else.

Earning spirit stones is not easy.

We need to save more money.

"Let's go, let's go." Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yan suddenly noticed a magical artifact on a stall.

It was a magical artifact shaped like a hammer.

Purple Spirit Hammer

[Quality]: Gray
[Equipment Attributes]: Armor Penetration (deals increased damage to armor), Might (increases strength).

"Ok?"

"This magical artifact..."

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the equipment's attributes.

He immediately went up to ask.

"Senior brother, how much is this magic artifact?"

"The Purple Spirit Hammer is made entirely of Purple Cloud Stone and Spirit Iron. It is extremely powerful and only requires 150 spirit stones."

"So expensive?"

Zhang Yan had a toothache.

He's used to finding bargains, so when he suddenly bought a normal Buddhist artifact, he felt the price was a bit outrageous.

But actually, this is the normal price for Buddhist artifacts.

"There's no way around it. A lot of purple cloud stone and spirit iron were used to forge this magic weapon. The cost of materials alone is no less than 110 spirit stones. Add to that the craftsman's labor fee, and there's really not much profit to be made."

The stall owner's words also revealed a hint of helplessness.

"All right……"

Zhang Yan hesitated for a long time, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to buy it.

This price is way too expensive!

"This magical artifact is a bit too expensive for me. I wonder if you have any second-hand magical artifacts for sale here, even damaged ones?" Zhang Yan asked the stall owner with a smile.

"Second-hand ritual implements?"
"Damaged ones are fine too?"

The stall owner looked to be in his forties or fifties. He looked at Zhang Yan thoughtfully for a long time before finally saying, "I do have some, but I can't guarantee the quality of these magical artifacts."

"That's fine, as long as it's a magic artifact. I just want to learn more about magic artifacts." Zhang Yan quickly shook his head. He didn't care about the quality of the magic artifact; he only cared about the descriptions.

"Learn more about magical artifacts... What, young man, do you want to become an artifact refiner?" the middle-aged stall owner asked Zhang Yan with a smile.

Weapon refiner is one of the four superior arts.

Naturally, many people want to learn it.

But crafting weapons is never that easy.
Only one in a thousand or ten thousand people can become a weapon refiner. It is no exaggeration to say that once you become a weapon refiner, you will be treated as an honored guest wherever you go.

Of course, it wouldn't count if a novice weapon refiner went to a Nascent Soul sect.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Zhang Yan gave a shy smile.

"What's the big deal? I can't help you much as a weapon refiner, but if you just want to handle discarded magical artifacts, then I can be of assistance," the stall owner said with a mysterious smile.

"Um?

"I wonder what you mean, Senior Brother?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard the words "discarded magic weapon".

"That's right, as you can probably tell, most of the magical artifacts I sell here are from Qianbao Peak."

“Indeed, these are all magical artifacts from Qianbao Peak.” Zhang Yan nodded as he looked at the various magical artifacts on the stall. As one of the five peaks of the Qingheng Sect, Qianbao Peak would mark its magical artifacts with special marks, and even the names of the weapon refiners would be stamped on them.

That way, if there are any problems with the ritual implements, it will be easier to hold someone accountable.

The ritual implements become famous, which also helps to spread fame.

However, the magical artifacts of Qianbaofeng are extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain, so the fact that this stall owner was able to get them suggests that he must have some connections.

"Here's the thing, Qianbao Peak has collected a lot of discarded magical artifacts and needs some disciples to help sort them out so that the weapon refiners can extract the materials from them later. If you'd like to go, I can introduce you to some options."

When it comes to this.

The stall owner put his thumb and forefinger together and rubbed them gently.

"Senior brother, I'll buy this magic artifact."

When the other party asked for something in return, Zhang Yan didn't give them money, but instead bought the Purple Spirit Hammer from them.

"Good, Junior Brother is straightforward!"

"I'll find someone for you right away!" Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately chuckled and took out a sect jade talisman to make contact.

In fact, these tasks assigned by Qianbao Peak do not require any connections; it's just that ordinary disciples don't pay attention to them and are therefore completely unaware of them.

This stall owner is now selling information asymmetry.

Zhang Yan was well aware of this, but he wasn't annoyed at all. After all, information asymmetry is the most valuable resource.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the stall owner looked at Zhang Yan with a smile: "Junior brother, I've already made arrangements for you. Just report to Qianbao Peak and say that Hou Jiu from the market arranged it."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother!"

Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction and left.

Soon, Zhang Yan, riding the Golden Bamboo Sword, slowly and leisurely flew to Thousand Treasures Peak.

Qianbao Peak is where the inner disciples reside.

So he stopped his flying sword from a distance and took a step forward.

In front of the gate of Qianbaofeng Mountain, there is a building where a large number of people are crowded together.

Most of them are people who come to buy or customize Buddhist ritual implements.

As soon as Zhang Yan arrived, people came to maintain order and receive him.

"Junior brother, are you buying a ready-made magic weapon or having one custom-made?" A beautiful female cultivator greeted him with a smile.

"Replying to Senior Sister, I was introduced by Senior Brother Hou Jiuhou from Fangshi to do the task of sorting out discarded magical artifacts." Zhang Yan glanced at the female cultivator and felt that her cultivation level was at least mid-stage Qi Refining, so he gave a polite reply.

"Senior Brother Hou?"

"Classifying old and worn-out magical artifacts?" The beautiful female cultivator glanced at Zhang Yan, her tone unconsciously turning colder: "Junior brother, come with me, I'll take you to see the manager."

"Okay, thank you very much, senior sister!"

Zhang Yan nodded and followed the female cultivator into Qianbao Peak.
