Taihuang Star Seal

"During this period of time, I have been following Xiao Ze in and out of the City Lord's Mansion. The soldiers guarding the mansion should not be wary of me."

Sima Zhong took the initiative to offer a suggestion: "In my opinion, we might as well conceal the death of the thief Xiao and leave the city lord's mansion together first."

"When we return to Lingdan Tower, I will tell you that Xiao Zhenxiong's inner demons broke out while he was being treated for his illness, and he killed people indiscriminately without knowing right or wrong."

"In the end, the disease destroyed his soul and he died tragically!"

"As the master of Lingdan Tower, as long as I guarantee you, this matter will be resolved..."

The reason why Sima Zhong talked so much was that he tried so hard to show the "value" of his identity to Ding Chen.

In fact, he was afraid that Ding Chen would go all the way and kill him too!

However, all he got in return for these words was a sneer from Ding Chen.

"Haha, rather than asking you, the owner of Lingdan Building, to be the guarantor, I would rather let you be the 'murderer' who killed Xiao Zhenxiong!"

"What? No..."

"puff!!"

Before Sima Zhong could finish his words, Ding Chen snapped his fingers and the last silver needle pierced the old man's forehead squarely.

On his deathbed, Sima Zhong said with difficulty: "You...want to slander me as a murderer...wishful thinking!"

"I'm waiting for you... in hell..."

After saying this, the guy died completely.

Ding Chen walked forward calmly and searched Sima Zhong's body, taking out two bottles of elixirs and silver notes with a total value of thirty to forty thousand gold.

Let’s not talk about the silver bills for now.

However, the two bottles of "lower-grade great martial arts realm" elixirs piqued Ding Chen's interest a little.

As we all know, the elixir of "Small Martial Realm" corresponds to the warrior of "Martial Body Realm".

The elixir of the "Great Martial Realm" corresponds to the warriors of the "Awakening Veins Realm".

The bottle of lower-grade [Restoring Qi Pill] of the Great Martial Realm, which is used to restore the mysterious energy, can restore about 30% of the mysterious energy of a cultivator at the second or third level of the Awakening Veins Realm after taking one pill.

Don’t underestimate the recovery rate of this “30% Xuan Qi”.

Suppose two warriors have been fighting each other for a long time and are about to be exhausted.

This thirty percent of newly generated profound power can often become the key to turning the tide of a battle!

If cultivators above the third level of the Awakening Pulse Realm took this pill, the higher their realm, the worse the effect of restoring their Xuan Qi would be.

This is a "flaw" caused by the mismatch between the quality of the elixir and the warrior's realm, which is inevitable.

In addition, if a cultivator takes the same kind of elixir continuously within a short period of time.

The drug resistance produced in the body will cause the absorbable drug efficacy to become increasingly poor, or even disappear completely!

The other small porcelain bottle contained the "lower grade Great Martial Realm" [Healing Pill].

For cultivators at the Awakening Pulse Realm, as long as the injury is not severe enough to cause instant disability or fatality, taking a [Healing Pill] from the Great Martial Realm can quickly stop bleeding and heal the wound, greatly alleviating the severity of the injury, thus giving them the ability to continue fighting.

This kind of "healing" elixir is a rare one that allows cultivators with low cultivation levels to take super-high-grade elixirs without having to worry about exploding to death due to the powerful medicinal power.

It was just like the "top-grade spiritual healing pill" that Luo Qinru had fed Ding Chen before.

In fact, healing pills that have reached the "Spiritual Level" are often called [Healing Pills].

Its efficacy is more than a hundred times stronger than the "Great Martial Realm" healing pill that was looted from Sima Zhong's body.

It was also because of the "superior spiritual grade" healing pill that Ding Chen's dying body was brought back to life!

Don’t think that Sima Zhong didn’t have much silver bills on him.

But any one of these two bottles of [Restoring Pills] and [Healing Pills] can be sold for 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins!

The two bottles together, with ten pills, would be worth a full four or five hundred thousand gold!

In fact, Sima Zhong’s worth is far more than that.

Just the golden tripod he used to make elixirs would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

It’s a pity that Sima Zhong has used this golden tripod for a long time and it is a bit old.

Now, after Ding Chen had achieved the glorious feat of "perfectly making a pill" three times, the golden tripod finally couldn't bear the burden and broke apart at the moment of the last pill making...

Unless you find a weapon refiner to repair this severely cracked cauldron, it will be difficult to use it again.

While the effect of the "Thirteen Soul-Controlling Needles" that stabbed Xiao Zhenxiong still needed some time to ferment, Ding Chen wanted to search the city lord to see if there was anything valuable hidden on his body.

The result, however, disappointed Ding Chen greatly.

Because, in total, he only found a mere three thousand gold in silver notes from Xiao Zhenxiong!

In fact, the original Xiao Zhenxiong was far from being so poor.

However, during this period of time, Ding Chen asked him again and again to take out the materials needed for alchemy.

Xiao Zhenxiong's expenses went from hundreds of thousands of gold the first time, to more than one million later, and then to several million this time...

No matter how rich Xiao Zhenxiong is, he can't stand it!

All I have left on hand are these pitiful three thousand gold coins.

Ding Chen curled his lips and turned his gaze to the sword that Xiao Zhenxiong took off from his waist and placed on the table before he knelt down.

If Ding Chen were to look at Xiao Zhenxiong's sword from the perspective of "Tianjun of Wanyu" in his previous life, he would think that it was not up to standard at all.

But if he were to use his secular perspective after his rebirth into this world to judge...

Xiao Zhenxiong's sword should be considered a "mid-grade treasure" and is worth two or three hundred thousand gold.

Speaking of which, the main business of the Luo Mansion is to forge the ores dug out from the mines into various weapons and protective gear.

In the family, among those craftsmen who specialize in making weapons, some with advanced skills are called "weapon refiners".

Weapon refiners often grade their forged weapons according to their quality.

The lowest grade is "ordinary weapon" made of ordinary iron, each of which is sold for a few silver coins to a few gold coins.

They are mostly used by mortals without any cultivation, or warriors in the horizontal training realm.

Above ordinary weapons are "sharp weapons".

Swords, spears, swords and halberds that are at the “sharp weapon” level must be made of at least the finest steel that has been tempered a hundred times!

Their price is closely related to the number of times they are refined.

The finest steel that has been tempered a hundred times is called "low-grade sharp weapon" and is sold for two to three hundred gold coins.

A sword that has been tempered three hundred times is called a "medium-grade weapon" and costs one thousand gold coins.

A sharp weapon that has been refined thousands of times is considered top-grade and requires three to five thousand gold coins to purchase!

However, sharp weapon-level blades are mostly held by warriors in the martial body realm.

Those that are better than sharp weapons are called "treasure weapons".

Weapons of this level can easily cut hair and chop iron into mud!

The starting price for a treasure is fifty thousand gold coins.

Because of this, usually only those who have reached the Awakening Pulse Realm can afford those precious swords and knives that cost tens of thousands of gold in the eyes of ordinary warriors.

A "mid-grade treasure" of better quality, such as the sword of City Lord Xiao, would be worth at least 200,000 or 300,000 gold coins!

As for those "high-quality treasures", they are even more incredible. You can't get them without spending millions of gold...

So far, in the huge Tieyan City, not a single top-grade treasure has been found.

After all, it is not realistic to expect the cultivators in mid- and low-level towns like Tieyan City to have the financial resources to purchase "top-grade treasures".

Just as Ding Chen turned his back to Xiao Zhenxiong and leisurely appreciated the weapon on the table.

Xiao Zhenxiong, who had been standing with a dull look in his eyes and his hands hanging down, suddenly raised his head!

The dim light in his eyes gave off a terrifying feeling, like an evil ghost raising its head or a murderous spirit looking back...
