Destiny is ashes

Chapter 152 List of Spiritual Objects (43, thanks to Alliance Leader Wen Yechu!)
The value of the precious mirror is obviously a "treasure" worth more than a thousand taels.

Theoretically speaking, for such a big business, the shopkeeper cannot make decisions on his own. No matter what position he holds, he has to consult the master behind him.

However, the owner of Lizhen Pawnshop had someone above him and had a lot of autonomy. He also saw the hint from Manager Li, so he gave An Jing a favor: "But three hundred taels of silver, all in cash, is really too heavy. I wonder if you will accept our Dachen's banknotes..."

"Gold is not okay?"

An Jing frowned slightly, pretending to be dissatisfied, while the shopkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, Master Xuan, you have not been in Dachen for long, I am afraid you don't know the situation here...Here, gold is very precious!"

The common people generally do not accept banknotes, only cash or gold.

But there are many sacrifices on Dachen, especially the grand sacrifices by the government. Naturally, there is no need for any grain or meat sacrifices. Instead, the nine spirits and five metals, the eight earths and nine voids, the entire Nine Five Supremes, the eight wastelands and nine heavens are offered.

Among them, real gold, spiritual gold, pure gold and sun gold correspond to 'one of the five metals', 'the head of the nine spirits', 'the foundation of the eight earths' and 'the lord of the nine skies'. All the four major sacrifices require gold.

Not only is it used for sacrifices, some martial arts elixirs also require real gold and spiritual gold as their materials, so this thing is considered an extremely important strategic material and will not be easily used as currency.

In Dachen, most trades are conducted in cash. If there is gold... it is either an official reward from Dachen or an illegal activity. Report it one by one and it will be confirmed!

"Silver is fine, I don't mind the interest. As for the banknotes, I don't want them. Please help me pay off the debt, and give me some more silver for the rest. I want to buy something."

An Jing pretended to be a young master, so he looked very decent. He certainly would not ask for banknotes or cash.

Now, he finally got the chance, and smiled, and said to the two people who were looking embarrassed: "I will definitely not embarrass you with what I want to buy, and you don't have to worry about me not being able to pay."

"In addition to the treasured mirror, I also have some precious talismans on me... This time I came to Kanming City early, intending to buy some spiritual objects for my practice and breakthrough, and give my family a surprise."

"I ended up asking around and buying a lot of stuff, but I still couldn't buy anything even though I almost ran out of money. When I asked people, they either didn't know anything or just brushed me off with rhetoric. It was so annoying."

"This time, I'm going to ask where I can buy spiritual objects in Kanming City. Isn't it possible to find a store that sells spiritual objects in such a big city?"

"That's easy to say, that's easy to say..."

When the shopkeeper heard that An Jing didn't want the banknotes and had many requests, he looked a little embarrassed.

But after hearing that An Jing just wanted to buy spiritual objects, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I just don't know what type of spiritual objects you want, little brother? Our pawnshop also supports barter."

"As for the talisman, we need to see what the style is, what the effect is, and whether the quality is good enough... Please don't blame me for speaking harshly. If the workmanship of this talisman is not good, it will not be sold at a high price."

——Great! I finally found it! Goal achieved!
Finally finding a channel to buy spiritual objects, An Jing also laughed and said softly: "You can rest assured about my talismans."

"I don't ask for much either. I just want some beast meat, or some gold-type spiritual objects that can be used to assist in cultivation."

Although it took a long detour, An Jing obtained the channel to purchase spiritual objects at the fastest speed - at least it was faster than slowly becoming a familiar face in the local area and integrating into this circle.

It seems that taking a detour may also be a shortcut.

As An Jing put forward his request, the shopkeeper quickly went to count the inventory, look for commissions, prepare to make a list, and arrange spiritual item transactions for An Jing.

If I have to say, spiritual objects are not expensive.

Apart from other things, the most common spiritual item like the meat of fierce beasts may be very expensive, but the most common meat of fierce beasts, such as "snow rabbit meat", is actually only ten taels of silver per catty. Compared with the meat of livestock that costs one tael of silver for ten to twenty catties or even more, it is only a hundred times more expensive, and may not even be as expensive as some particularly rare delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Of course, the effects of snow rabbit meat are worthy of its price: it can indeed make people healthy, have sharp ears and strong legs. The reason why it seems cheap is simply because this thing can be caught in large quantities, and the price is difficult to add.

But what An Jing wanted was obviously not the kind of ferocious beast meat that could simply increase his blood energy.

According to the sword spirit's advice, he'd better eat the meat of ferocious beasts with sufficient blood and energy and related to the gold evil, which corresponds to the blood evil and gold evil in his fate.

In this way, his absorption speed will also increase, and after breaking through the internal breath, it can also strengthen his speed of practicing Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition for a period of time, and condense the second prohibition at a faster speed.

"I hope there are suitable spiritual objects... If not, some spiritual objects without attributes will do. If that doesn't work, my body, which has been transformed by the Seven Evils' Fate, can probably absorb spiritual objects of all attributes as its foundation. In general, I won't lose out."

Just as An Jing was thinking about it, the shopkeeper came back with a list, looking very happy.

"Can you take a look?" An Jing took the list without hesitation.

Most of the spiritual objects on this list are relatively rare and precious, at least not the snow rabbit meat, the small clear spiritual grass, the morning mist water vapor, which are said to be spiritual objects but are actually not very valuable.

【Rootless flower】

A spiritual creature with water attributes, it has no roots because it relies on the water spirit to transfer nutrients, so it looks like it is floating in the air. After taking it, people can breathe water for several days, and it can heal and resist fire burns to a certain extent.

【Moon Rainbow Stone】

The water stone condensed from the essence of the night rain and moon rainbow is a spiritual object with water and Taiyin attributes. As a rare Taiyin spiritual object, it should be very expensive, but because the two attributes are mixed together, it is difficult to separate and purify, and no trace of Taiyin essence can be extracted. It can only be used as a shadow of "fishing for the moon in the water", so the price has dropped sharply. However, among water spiritual objects, it is also considered to be relatively expensive.

I don't know if Tianyuan Realm has the technology to purify and peel it. An Jing thought so. If there is, then it will be a big profit.

【Yingyao Tripterygium wilfordii】

A relatively rare spiritual object with dual attributes of fire and wood, it usually grows on the mountainside without any obstructions. Its diamond-shaped leaves will reflect the light of the sun and stars in the sky, and its night light is dazzling. It can be easily eaten by wild beasts in the mountains and increase their roots and spiritual wisdom, so it is rare.

【Cold Dew in the Stream】

A kind of Yin spiritual dew, condensed in a dark and deep forest stream that has not seen the sun for hundreds of years. In addition to being used for alchemy, it can also be used as an aid in the cultivation of spiritual pupils.

An Jing silently took note of this in his heart. He had obtained Nianquan's true pupil method, but had not yet mastered it because he lacked the introduction to practice.

Although the cold dew in the stream is of the yin element and not pure and spiritual, it is still spiritual water after all and can be used if needed.

The other spiritual objects that followed were all unremarkable and An Jing had no use for them, so he just glanced away.

And in the last few paragraphs, An Jing saw a spiritual creature that perfectly met his requirements.

【Golden Bear Palm】

"You actually managed to hunt a golden bear?"

An Jing looked up in surprise and looked at the shopkeeper who was showing a proud expression: "No, it's not you...but the hunting team that hunted the golden bear is willing to take the lead and let you sell this kind of spiritual beast meat!"

"Little brother, this is the reputation of our Lizhen Shop!"

Speaking of his own reputation, even the pawnshop owner puffed out his chest with pride: "Not to mention the golden bear, even if it's a higher-level spiritual creature, we at Lizhen Shop have the means to get it!"

An Jing could tell that Lizhen Pawnshop and Lizhen Shop were subordinate to each other. The former was just a business separated from the latter, and the latter should be one of the few large chambers of commerce in this deserted state.

As for the golden bear, it is a "spiritual beast" different from the ferocious beast.

If there is a one-to-one correspondence between humans and beasts, then ordinary people are equal to ordinary wild beasts, and ferocious beasts are equal to warriors in the inner breath realm, and they also have the blood of ancient ancestors in their bodies. Ordinary warriors without a full set of weapons have no way to deal with them.

Spirit beasts are beasts that, due to various coincidences, have absorbed the mysteries of heaven and earth and have displayed extraordinary magical powers.

In other words, it is a beast that has awakened its 'fate'.

If these animals were vicious beasts in their previous lives, they are called "evil spirits"; if they are auspicious beasts that are friendly to humans, they are called "elves"; if they are intelligent, no matter what their previous lives were, they are collectively called "demon spirits."

Most of them possess some special abilities or even magical powers, such as having fur as hard as iron, being able to swallow up frost, wind, thunder and fire, or being able to travel thousands of miles in one night with immense strength.

The golden bear is an awakened 'evil spirit' among bear-like beasts. Even the shortest one is nearly two meters tall. With a slap in the river, all the fish within a radius of three or four meters will jump onto the shore. Some people have even seen this giant bear break a pine log so big that it took three people to hug it with just one butt. Its strength is truly chilling.

But the most terrifying thing is its skin that is impervious to swords and guns, water and fire!
Before the frost disaster, there was an inner armor made of golden bear skin in Anjing's hometown. It was invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult to be damaged by crossbows and sharp arrows. If it was damaged, it could be naturally healed by smearing it with gold and iron.

This inner armor is a family heirloom, worn by An's father, and has saved him from danger many times. It can even be said that this inner armor played an indispensable role in An's father's survival in the aftermath of the vast sea disaster.

The golden bear's wrist and palm are even more essence. They can be used as medicine to replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body and strengthen the bones of the arms. It is a spiritual object that can strengthen bones!
The price of this wrist is at least more than six hundred taels of silver. If it is an old bear that has been there for many years, it would not be surprising if it is worth more than a thousand taels. It is a real treasure!
