Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 57 Trade Fair

The grand competition at Wanhua Palace will last for more than half a month.

Several auctions and trade fairs will be held during this period.

This is what Zhuge Wan told him before.

"I need to search carefully for spiritual artifacts and magical implements inside."

Zhang Yan still had a large sum of spirit stones on him. There was no use for these spirit stones if he kept them, so he might as well exchange them all for things that would be useful to him.

For example, there are ritual implements, and then there are spiritual implements.

Zhang Yan was very much looking forward to these things.

After all, this grand competition has gathered many cultivation sects in the Zhao Kingdom, and he probably has a lot of things he wants there.

……

The next day.

Zhang Yan found Zhuge Wan very early on.

"You want to go to the auction?"

"Yes, Master, this disciple wishes to broaden my horizons," Zhang Yan said while bowing.

"Okay, but be careful. The competition starts in three days."

Zhuge Wan thought for a moment but did not stop Zhang Yan.

After all, this is now the territory of the Myriad Flowers Palace, and generally no one would dare to run wild on the territory of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Zhang Yan also had a rather stable personality and was not the type to cause trouble.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhang Yan received permission and prepared to leave.

"Wait, do you have enough spirit stones?" Zhuge Wan asked Zhang Yan.

"Master, rest assured, I have enough spirit stones."

He received ten years' worth of spirit stones last time, which he basically didn't touch. Now it's perfect to use them to buy equipment.

The auction at the Palace of Flowers is very easy to find; it's located in the central market area of ​​their open district.

The reason why Wanhua Palace decided to hold the Spirit Value Competition on their side and even offer various rewards was because it was profitable.

The benefits lie in the markets and auctions held during the imperial examinations.

Every three-month Spirit Value Competition makes the Wanhua Palace a fortune, and there have been protests about it.

However, Wanhua Palace also provided a solution.

Whichever family's disciple wins first place in the Spirit Value Competition will host the next Spirit Value Competition.

But it's a pity.

This spiritual value competition has been held for hundreds of years, and there are still disciples from other families who have won first place.

The main reason for this is the magic of "transferring flowers and grafting trees".

After Zhang Yan stepped out of the room, he equipped himself with the Mask of Concealment. With an invisible wave, his aura vanished without a trace.

Add a straw hat.

Zhang Yan successfully concealed his presence.

Upon entering the market, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. There were so many things here, many times more than in Qingheng Market.

In fact, it’s normal to think about it.

The Myriad Flowers Palace relies on this market to make money. If they don't offer something of real value, how can others be willing to spend spirit stones?
He picked and chose among them and found quite a few good things.

For example.

He found a talisman pen.

This is a second-hand talisman pen. It's clear that its original owner used it for a long time, and the patterns on the pen handle have been worn away.

The brush bristles have all thinned out considerably.

However, perhaps precisely because of this, entries about talisman making also appeared on this second-hand talisman pen.

[Equipment Name]: Wolf Hair Brush

[Equipment Tier]: Mid-grade Magic Weapon
[Equipment Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effects]: Talisman Mastery (Advanced), Swiftness Talisman Crafting (Minor Advanced), Fireball Talisman (Advanced)
This talisman pen successfully taught Zhang Yan how to make two talismans.

And there's also Dacheng.

This means that when he makes fireball talismans, his success rate is about 60%.

If Zhang Yan switched careers to become a talisman master, he could make money immediately. However, he wouldn't earn much, because the Fireball Talisman is a low-level talisman, and a dozen talismans would only earn him a few spirit stones.

It also requires a lot of effort and time.

It's really troublesome.

Nothing is more comfortable than being a landlord.
Despite saying that, Zhang Yan still bought the talisman brush.

After all, whether or not to manufacture it is one thing.

Could it be something else entirely?

Zhang Yan may look down on the amount of spirit stones earned from making fireball talismans, but he cannot be incapable of making fireball talismans.

It's that simple.

Zhang Yan was very satisfied with the talisman pen he had found.

However, his ultimate goal was still this trade fair.

If you can get this much in the market, you'll only get more at the trade fair.

He doesn't care about auctions; he cares more about trade fairs.

The reason is also very simple.

The auction was too high-level; he probably wouldn't be able to buy anything good with 10,000 spirit stones. After all, most of the people who attended the auction were Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators.

Even if a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage goes, it's just to broaden their horizons.

Of course, besides that, the most important thing is that the magical artifacts and spirit artifacts in the auction are most likely new.

The entry Zhang Yan needed was not found there.

But trade fairs are different.

Most of the people at the trade fair are poor guys who don't have any spirit stones, and the magical artifacts they use to trade are most likely the ones they've discarded.

Therefore, these people are more suitable for Zhang Yan.

Cheaper prices, more entries!

One should be practical; don't care about the price, just the right thing.

Such trade fairs are not hard to find.

It's usually organized by people from Wanhua Palace.

For a fee, they can take you to various trade fairs.

Zhang Yan found a contact, paid twenty spirit stones, and was then warmly led to a banquet.

This is a trade fair.

And it is unfolding in full swing.

The trade fairs here are quite interesting.

Everyone sat in a circle on cushions, with a platform in the middle.

Each person takes turns going up on stage, bringing out their own items, and then saying what they want to trade.

If you don't have anything suitable, you can discuss it with spirit stones or other items.

When Zhang Yan arrived, there was a female cultivator standing at the very back who wanted to exchange something.

"I have three spiritual fruits here. Eating them can increase cultivation and break through the shackles. I would like to exchange them for a mid-grade magic weapon." Although the female cultivator was dressed in black robes and her figure could not be seen, her voice indicated that she was not very old.

Zhang Yan didn't think much of these three spiritual fruits, but for these ordinary cultivators, they were already quite good.

In particular, it has the function of breaking through obstacles.

"I have a mid-grade magic weapon here called the Bone-Corroding Needle, which is extremely useful for surprise attacks."

As they were talking, someone took out a mid-grade magic artifact.

"I have a Earth Seal here, which is also a mid-grade magic artifact, but its power is insufficient."

This is the second magical artifact, and to be honest, both of them are quite good.

The last female cultivator chose the Earth-Turning Seal, but because the value of the spirit fruit was not comparable to that of a mid-grade magic weapon, she gave the other person some spirit stones as compensation.

At this moment, Zhang Yan was already sitting on the futon, waiting for the items below.

"This humble Taoist has brought a stalk of ancient bamboo with me. I wonder if any of you fellow Taoists would be interested?"

"Ten-year bamboo?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up. After searching for so long, he had finally found it!
