Chapter 213: Collection
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan choose Xuanyin Gourd, Liang Hanyang also looked happy.
The Xuanyin Gourd is made of very good materials, and a large part of the fourth-level materials are used in it.
More than a hundred years ago, Patriarch Liang originally wanted to use these materials to refine a fourth-level magic weapon. Unfortunately, he failed during the refining process and only made a third-level high-quality magic weapon.
Although Patriarch Liang is a casual cultivator, he is proficient in various arts of cultivating immortals. He is not only a fourth-level mid-level alchemist, but also a fourth-level low-level weapon refiner. He even knows some talisman-making techniques. After so many years of exploration, although he didn’t invest much time, his level has caught up with Zhang Leqian, the head of the Zhang family.
The amount of materials required to refine this magical weapon exceeds the price tag of Xuanyin Gourd and reaches 3,200 spirit stones.
After the Xuanyin Gourd was first made, the price tag was as high as 3,500 spirit stones. However, no one cared about it for decades, so Taixu Pavilion could only slowly lower the price in the hope of recovering some of the cost.
It’s a pity that even after it was reduced to two thousand, it still couldn’t be sold. It stayed in the treasure house for several decades before it met the buyer Zhang Zhixuan.
Although this magical weapon is powerful, it has a single effect and is very expensive. It is not suitable for Black Mountain foundation-building monks at all.
Black Mountain’s foundation-building casual cultivators, some of which took a short period of time, exchanged the foundation-building pills and emptied out the accumulation of several generations. Life was so tight that they simply couldn’t afford so many spiritual stones to buy this magic weapon.
Most of the veteran casual cultivators who have spirit stones in their hands have already married and started a business. They want to plan for future generations and save resources to exchange for foundation-building pills. They would like to break a spirit stone in half, let alone buy such an expensive and single-effect pill. Magical weapon.
As for Qingxuan Sect’s foundation-building monks, they rarely come to Black Mountain to buy magic weapons because they have Baoguang Pavilion as a channel.
Even the dozen or so monks from the nearby Foundation Establishment families have their own connections with the Qingxuan Sect. They basically work in Jiaohe, Qingyang and other cities and rarely come to Black Mountain to buy magical artifacts.
Even Zhang Zhixuan, if Liang Hanyang can come up with the spirit stone this time, I am afraid he will not buy this magic weapon.
Although the family’s finances have improved in recent years, the assessments over the years have been paid off.
However, the family’s accounts still owe Zhang Zhixuan eight thousand spiritual stones. If Liang Hanyang had not happened this year, this debt would have been slowly repaid starting from this year.
Now that he is trading some third-level spiritual objects with Liang Hanyang, the deficit in the spiritual stones will have to be replenished slowly, and the repayment date can only be postponed for a few years.
Liang Hanyang glanced at the Xuanyin Gourd with a complicated expression, and said with emotion: “This magical weapon has been gathering dust here for more than a hundred years. Now it is in the hands of fellow Taoists. I hope that fellow Taoists can carry it forward.”
On this magical artifact, Taixu Pavilion lost money and did not even get back the money spent on the materials, not counting the labor costs invested over the past hundred years.
A few years ago, Patriarch Liang was not planning to sell this magical weapon and wanted to give it to his disciples.
It was a pity that the second disciple Li Xian’e died in Hanjiao Pond. The remaining disciples did not practice water-attribute skills and were not suitable for cultivating this magical weapon, so the matter was dragged out.
Although the effect of this magical weapon is single, because it uses high-end materials, it is of higher quality than the Qingniu Flag in Zhang Zhixuan’s hand, and is already comparable to the soul-inducing flag in Qingchan’s hand.
The price of the Xuanyin gourd is only two thousand, and Liang Hanyang’s spiritual stone gap exceeds five thousand. If he does not want to be owed, Zhang Zhixuan can only continue to pick some third-level spiritual objects to pay the bill.
Zhang Zhixuan would take these third-level spiritual objects home and put them in his treasury, and then use his good deeds to redeem them.
Since he started practicing, the family’s foundation-building monks have basically earned their own spiritual stones to support the family. It was almost the four foundation-building monks who carried, pulled, and dragged the family to where they are today.
In addition to the skills they practiced, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan were able to build foundations, relying more on their own opportunities.
They contribute more to the family than the help the family provides them.
Zhang Zhixuan has been building the foundation for decades. In the past, he rarely used his family’s good deeds. Today, even if they, monks in the foundation building period, receive benefits in advance, the thousands of good deeds they have accumulated can finally be exchanged for third-level spiritual items after today.
There are two third-level talisman makers in the family, so of course the talisman-making tools must be exchanged first.
Zhang Zhixuan first changed the skins of two pieces of third-level monster beasts. The monster skins are most suitable for use as third-level talisman paper.
Then he replaced it with a bucket of blood essence of a third-level monster and a piece of low-grade third-level red cinnabar. These two spiritual objects can be used to prepare the spiritual ink of a third-level spiritual talisman.
In the end, Zhang Zhixuan also exchanged a third-level low-grade talisman pen for Qingchan. Qingchan had been a third-level talisman maker for five or six years, but he still used the second-order high-grade talisman pen given by the clan leader. The second-level talisman-making pen has greatly affected her success rate in drawing third-level talismans, which is really a bit shabby.
The price of this talisman pen is not low, it is higher than the normal third-level mid-grade magic weapon, and the quoted price reaches eight hundred spirit stones.
This talisman-making pen is called Heyue Brush, and it was made by Wei Boxan, the eldest disciple of Liang Patriarch.
Wei Bohan has been cultivating to the pinnacle of foundation building for forty years, and became a third-level high-grade weapon refiner many years ago. The magical weapons he refines are well-known in Black Mountain, and the price is naturally a little higher than usual.
Zhang Zhixuan decided to spend money in Taixu Pavilion this time. He was not afraid of expensive things at all, but only worried that they were not good. He chose this magic weapon because of his wealth.
In addition, the clan leader lost his third-level defensive magic weapon after the defeat at Jiuhua Mountain, and has not replenished it for decades. Zhang Zhixuan naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to replenish one for him.
In recent years, Taixu Pavilion happened to have a third-level mid-grade defensive weapon that had not been sold, and Zhang Zhixuan picked it up.
This magical artifact is called the Seven-Star Tower and is divided into seven floors. Each floor is equipped with four golden rings. As long as it is refined, it can release twenty-eight golden rings to protect itself from all directions when facing the enemy. It is very good at defending against flying knives and flying swords.
Defensive magic weapons are more expensive than normal magic weapons. The price tag of this Seven-Star Tower has also reached one thousand spiritual stones.
The spiritual objects on the third floor of Taixu Pavilion do not negotiate the price. Their reputation is very good and their business has been relatively fair over the years.
Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan did not take advantage of others, and must take advantage and lower the price.
The price of these few items alone reached 4,600 spirit stones, and Zhang Zhixuan also saw a lot of things he liked.
Especially a kind of elixir, which is related to whether Zhang Zhixuan can improve the level of alchemy. This time he must choose it.
It has been sixteen years since he refined the Sanyang Pill and became a third-level low-grade alchemist. During these sixteen years, he has made rapid progress in his experience in alchemy. With the rapid increase in experience, Zhang Zhixuan has gained more and more insights into alchemy. This time, he was lucky enough to get two third-level elixir recipes from Gu Chengxun. One of them is called Miao Zhen Dan, and its grade is exactly Reached the third level mid-grade.
As long as he refines the Miao Zhen Dan, Zhang Zhixuan can break through the bottleneck and become a third-level mid-level alchemist.
