Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 31: Sell

Meng Zhang carefully inspected the lump of Hundred Refinements Fine Gold, gaining a general understanding of the tool refiner's intentions. The Thousand Jun Peak was a crude and powerful magic tool that relied on brute force to attack. However, due to its rough nature, it was prone to damages and dents during intense collisions. To address this weakness, the ingenious tool refiner embedded a set of runes crafted from Hundred Refinements Fine Gold inside the Thousand Jun Peak. These runes not only enhanced the power when wielding the Thousand Jun Peak but also enabled it to automatically repair damages. With this improvement, the Thousand Jun Peak compensated for its vulnerability and gained increased power.

In Meng Zhang's opinion, this tool refiner must have been either a profligate spender or a clueless fool who didn't understand the hardships of the mortal world. Not to mention the cost of crafting those runes, the lump of Hundred Refinements Fine Gold alone was worth close to a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Even a First Rank top-grade Thousand Jun Peak would cost no more than a hundred spirit stones. The tool refiner's extravagant gesture left Meng Zhang envious, as he himself was quite impoverished.

After some hesitation, Meng Zhang decided to keep the lump of Hundred Refinements Fine Gold. The outer shell, melted away by the medicinal solution, was now entirely useless. With such a valuable item worth over a thousand spirit stones, the few dozen spirit stones for the Thousand Dust Sand no longer caught Meng Zhang's attention.

However, if it weren't for the layer of Thousand Dust Sand obscuring the Hundred Refinements Fine Gold inside, Meng Zhang wouldn't have had the opportunity to claim this windfall. His Divine Ability, Deception Breaking Eye, played a pivotal role, allowing him to see through the magic tool's internal structure.

Afterward, Meng Zhang expended a considerable amount of energy and blood to refine the two damaged magic tools he had purchased, the small sword and the white bead, according to the requirements of the Blood Refining Martyr Art.

Once done with these tasks, Meng Zhang finally rested.

Early the next morning, he left the inn and headed towards the center of Singing Sand City. Singing Sand City primarily belonged to Twin Success Valley, and nearby powers like Forest Spring Watch and Liu Family also held some shares. However, the best and most spacious shops in the market were owned by Flying Swan Sect.

While Twin Success Valley was a dominant force in the Foundation Building realm, known as one of the top ten Foundation Building sects, they still deferred to the likes of Gold Core sects like Flying Swan Sect.

Although Twin Success Valley had worked hard to establish Singing Sand City, a significant portion of the market's profits had to be handed over to Flying Swan Sect. The prime shops in the market were also first picked by Flying Swan Sect before being distributed among the other powers, including Twin Success Valley.

Thankfully, Flying Swan Sect was a Daoist sect and relatively amicable in their approach. They didn't impose excessive demands on their vassal powers like Twin Success Valley.

Meng Zhang's destination was Flying Swan Building, a comprehensive commercial place established by Flying Swan Sect. Besides selling pills, magic tools, and talismans, the building also bought various spiritual materials.

Flying Swan Building was a six-story high building, standing out among the smaller ones nearby.

As Meng Zhang approached the reception area, a steward led him to the place specifically designed to purchase refining materials.

Flying Swan Building did business fairly and could barely be accused of being overbearing.

Meng Zhang emptied several storage bags, taking out all the Scarlet Copper he had purchased. Although the Scarlet Copper looked substantial, it only cost a little over a hundred low-grade spirit stones. This was because the steward in charge of the purchase saw that this batch of Scarlet Copper was relatively pure and abundant in Yang Flame Qi, so he offered a favorable price. Since Scarlet Copper was a common commodity, this amount of quantity wouldn't create any ripples in Flying Swan Building.

Of course, if Flying Swan Building knew that Meng Zhang possessed an entirely new Scarlet Copper vein, the situation might be entirely different.

After selling the Scarlet Copper, Meng Zhang felt that the transaction at Flying Swan Building was fair and then took out the lump of Hundred Refinements Fine Gold. He had previously erased all the runes on it using his knowledge, making it look like an ordinary lump.

The steward in charge of the purchase brightened up immediately when he saw the Hundred Refinements Fine Gold. After a thorough inspection, he purchased it at a high price of 1,200 low-grade spirit stones.

Meng Zhang was delighted. Unexpectedly, the Hundred Refinements Fine Gold fetched such a high price, making it a big profit for him. After toiling for a whole year, Taiyi Sect could only earn a few spirit stones. Yet, he gained such a substantial sum just by browsing through the stalls in the market.

However, he knew that such good fortune wouldn't be a daily occurrence. Regardless, with this unexpected fortune, not only would he be more financially comfortable, but Taiyi Sect's days would also improve significantly.

"Little brother, do you have any other good things? Don't worry, no matter how much merchandise you have, Flying Swan Building can accommodate it all," the steward casually asked, seemingly unguarded.

Meng Zhang's heart tightened, but he put on a dejected look and replied, "No, I don't have anything else. This is all the gain I made this time. We risked a lot and lost several people to explore a cultivator's cave. Unexpectedly, besides these refining materials, there was nothing else of value. If it weren't for selling these materials at a good price, we would have suffered losses and wouldn't even have enough compensation for the deceased brothers."
