Chapter 7, Purchasing Spiritual Artifacts

Wei Wu and the others were equally astonished, but soon they were even more dumbfounded

You... actually broke through, is this the Spirit Transformation Realm? No wonder you were able to escape so quickly

Cough...

Zhou Huan took out five Spirit Transformation Demon Cores, and the crowd did not react much, as Zhou Huan had previously taken out five God Transformation Demon Cores.

At this moment, Zhou Huan released some spiritual power at the level of Transformation of Spirits, which would make it easier to explain; otherwise, it would be difficult to cover up the fact that a person at the Transformation of Mortals level escaped from over a hundred Transformation of Gods magical beasts.

Zhou Huan was very pleased. In fact, this small formation is not complicated; it is just that there are too few experts in formations in this world. Even in the Xuanhuang Continent of his previous life, there were not many masters of formations.

Zhou Huan pointed to a piece of exquisite women's battle attire. He had just noticed that Xia Ling had spent quite some time in front of this garment, indicating that she must really like it. Perhaps she left because it was too expensive.

The shopkeeper's eyes sparkled with excitement; even the lowest-grade Demon Transformation Cores were worth a top-quality spirit stone. Although the ones Zhou Huan produced were not of the highest quality, they were certainly not the worst. Moreover, he was in the business of equipment, requiring a considerable number of Demon Transformation Cores to craft high-level staves.

It is like this, I have already made a breakthrough, hurry up and buy the necessary items to return to the academy, the situation is quite complex and cannot be explained clearly in a short time

Is this the sword you chose

Wei Wu stepped forward holding a top-quality spiritual armor. He was born into a family renowned for swordsmanship, and his family provided him with an excellent spiritual sword, so he only needed a piece of armor

Boss, my brother has given five Transformation Demon Cores, so please offer a discount on the following items. If they are effective, we will come back again in the future

Zhou Huan directly took out five ordinary transformation demon cores from the family heirloom ring, pointed at the spiritual treasures and spiritual tools in Xia Ling and Liu Yue's hands, and said to the shopkeeper: "I want two items, and they want three items. Is that enough for the books?"

At this moment, the others came over as well. Wei Wulin and the several transformation realm mages were all holding their preferred spiritual tools, indicating that they had already made their selections

Liu Yue, upon seeing this situation, lightly cleared her throat and whispered something in Xia Ling's ear before running away

At a glance, he could tell that Zhou Huan was extraordinary and certainly not someone who lacked discernment. However, Zhou Huan surprisingly chose a piece of useless scrap metal, which left him somewhat perplexed

However, they soon saw the exquisite spiritual sword chosen by Zhou Huan

Zhou Huan suddenly discovered a broken sword among them, which surprisingly elicited a slight reaction from the family heirloom ring, albeit a very faint one, yet it was still captured by Zhou Huan.

Liu Yue looked at the staff in her hand, which had lost its core, and it was evident that she was very fond of it

Alright, you have already spoken, a man must not act dishonestly

Well, however... this staff, although excellent, is missing the most crucial magic core. This is a spiritual treasure, and at the very least, it requires a magic core at the peak of the Transformation stage to unleash its true power

Lesser, just now Sister Yue wanted that staff, yet you insisted she buy it, even claiming it could obtain a magic core. At the very least, it should be a peak transformation magic core, right? And you still say you are not a wealthy person

Zhou Huan indeed had only this purpose, but it seems that Xia Ling was overthinking things

Spirit tools are not rare items; there are plenty in the shop. Zhou Huan casually picked a top-quality spirit sword to use for the time being

Zhou Huan, I didn't see it coming; turns out he is a big tycoon.

Forget it, it's not expensive anyway, let's buy it first and see. It seems I still need to choose a top-quality spirit sword; these spiritual treasures are simply too worn out to be of any use.

The first time Liu Yue saw this spiritual treasure, she wanted it immediately. However, she has only just reached the Mortal Realm, and even with the support of a team of ten, she can only hunt slightly weaker beasts in the Spirit Transformation Realm. Obtaining the magic core of a peak Transformation God beast is nearly impossible.

Sister Ling

Alright, Sister Ling, you have won. I wonder if Sister Ling needs a top-grade spiritual armor?

Enough, of course it is enough

I see...

The ten individuals quickly gathered, having already spent a considerable amount of time. They had basically selected all the necessary items, and now they were ready to check out and return to the academy to report the unexpected events that occurred during this experience.

One broken spiritual treasure after another was turned over, and Zhou Huan discovered that these treasures were almost entirely ruined, even more so than Liu Yue's staff, rendering them completely unusable, possessing only some collectible value

Alright, let us return to the academy. Although this experience did not go as planned and did not yield the expected results, we have nonetheless completed our training mission

Xia Ling provided a detailed explanation to Zhou Huan. In fact, Zhou Huan is in the most critical phase of the Transformation Realm, a level that is neither too high nor too low, and it cannot recover automatically. The value of these two jade pendants to him is even greater than that of the top-grade spiritual sword.

Until now, Zhou Huan has not been able to uncover the secret of this ring, just like countless generations of Zhou family heads, using it as an ordinary storage ring

Zhou Huan saw that they were purchasing equipment, and since he also needed some gear, he took a look as well

Xia Ling looked at Zhou Huan, her face flushing, momentarily at a loss for words

Zhou Huan felt quite helpless; essentially, everyone who enrolled in the same batch as him was older than he was. Even those two minor sorceresses at the True Qi Realm, he had to address them as "sister".

Xia Ling did not evade at all; her pair of bright, watery eyes looked at Zhou Huan, making him feel somewhat embarrassed

These shattered spiritual treasures, much like the staff of Liu Yue, were originally powerful artifacts. However, due to various reasons, they have become damaged and no longer possess the powers of spiritual treasures, and are being sold by the shopkeeper as ordinary spiritual tools.

Yes, I enjoy collecting antiques. Although this sword appears to be completely damaged, it is quite old, so I would like to purchase it. I wonder what the price is

Xia Ling took out a jade pendant, identical to the one she had previously given to Zhou Huan. The difference was that this jade pendant was specifically designed to restore mental energy

The shopkeeper truly knows how to do business; these shabby treasures are probably things that others have discarded. Yet, they can still be displayed for sale... Oh? This sword...

The shopkeeper is also a powerful figure at the Transformation Stage. These spiritual treasures have all been personally appraised by him and are completely damaged to the point of being unusable, rendering them utterly worthless

Ah? I really like this piece of clothing, but it has already cost you a magic sword. Why do you still need to give me an even more expensive garment

Zhou Huan left this place with that broken sword and returned to the Spirit Sword District. He still needed to purchase a high-quality spirit sword to make do. With his current strength, the low-grade spirit sword provided by the academy was nearly useless.

The restorative effect of these two jade pendants can achieve maximum efficacy in the Transformation Realm, but their effectiveness diminishes significantly in the Nirvana Realm, and they are completely ineffective in higher realms of life and death, where the innate recovery abilities of those powerful beings surpass that of these two jade pendants

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper realized that the person was a collector of antiques. He did not think much of it, as these spiritual treasures were items he had examined multiple times and indeed held little value.

Zhou Huan grasped the broken sword, only to see that the blade was riddled with countless holes, devoid of any trace of spiritual energy.

Thank you, Sister Ling. In fact, when I think about it, I actually benefited from this. These two jade pendants are very useful to me

Zhou Huan looked for a long time but still could not discern anything significant; however, he could be certain that it was this sword https://www.hetushu.com that had just activated the family heirloom ring.

I didn't expect it to be this way when I returned. By the way, Zhou Huan, this staff...

Xia Ling then realized that her face had been burning with fever, and she hurriedly circulated her internal spiritual energy to return to normal

In fact, those who can easily slay peak Transformation Realm monsters are all powerful beings in the Nirvana Realm, and anyone who can reach that level is undoubtedly a local tycoon

No problem, I can get the magic core. You hold onto it for now, and let's discuss after you buy the necessary items.

At that moment, the shopkeeper approached, glanced at Zhou Huan, and then at the broken sword in his hand, with a rather peculiar expression.

Unfortunately, if it had not been for the sudden appearance of that Demon Cloud Prince, I would have been able to collect the magic cores from those over one hundred Transformation Demonic Beasts, which would have been enough to purchase several complete spiritual treasures

Zhou Huan, you actually managed to escape so quickly. You truly live up to being the genius of our Sword Academy

Zhou Huan quietly thought to himself, and then he took the selected exquisite spirit sword along with the tattered sword to find Liu Yue and Xia Ling

Sister Ling, if you want it, I can buy another one

Although Xia Ling is skilled in various formations, she is, after all, a standard female swordsman who learned swordsmanship under the tutelage of Old Man Feng alongside Zhou Huan, and naturally, she desires a good sword.

Zhou Huan took the staff, retrieved a peak-level magic core, and directly embedded it into the core of the staff. Instantly, this spiritual treasure seemed to come to life, radiating with brilliance.

Zhou Huan believes in his vision; he possesses the experience of a previous life and has even carried celestial artifacts. He has a significantly higher probability of discovering excellent spiritual treasures compared to others

Zhou Huan handed the staff to Liu Yue and then began to select a weapon, as he now needed a better quality weapon

Zhou Huan felt a wave of embarrassment, realizing that this was where the flaw lay. The value of the magic core was indeed extremely high; even the income of the Yang family over the past year could not purchase a single peak-level magic core.

He is no longer as poor as he used to be, and now an ordinary Transformation Core can be exchanged for a top-quality Spirit Sword. The value of a peak Transformation Core is more than ten times that of an ordinary one, so he intends to help Xia Ling buy one

Is there anything special about this worn-out sword? There is no fluctuation of spiritual energy; fighting with it is almost no different from fighting barehanded.

Although I specialize in swordsmanship, I also focus on formations. These are merely the most basic formations, and I have a ready-made one here.

"Young master, are you looking to purchase this sword?"

Sister Ling, you really are quite unreserved. How did you know I have money? My poverty is well-known; the only spiritual artifact I possess to this day was given to me by the academy.

The shopkeeper was quite straightforward, offering slight discounts on the top-tier spiritual tools they selected, while those that were not top-tier were essentially given away for free, as the price of ordinary spiritual tools was less than one percent of that of top-tier spiritual tools

Sister Ling, I really like the jade pendant you gave me. Actually, I would like to ask you for a favor. Could you possibly... make one that can restore mental energy as well

Moreover, Xia Ling had recently given him a jade pendant that could restore spiritual power, which was of great use to him

Although this sword is of no practical use, it is, after all, a spiritual treasure. In our shop, such spiritual treasures are priced the same as top-grade spiritual weapons, at one high-quality spiritual stone each

Zhou Huan now possesses ten peak transformation magic cores, along with some ordinary transformation magic cores and countless low-level transformation realm magic cores, all stored in the family heirloom ring of the Zhou family

It turns out to be just a little tycoon, an exceptional spiritual sword

He directly ignored the weapons of spirit artifact level and looked at those shattered spiritual treasures

This is something that cannot be explained clearly in a short time; let's first purchase the necessary equipment and then discuss it further at the academy

Liu Yue and Xia Ling looked at Zhou Huan with confusion, as they truly could not understand why Zhou Huan would want this utterly broken sword.
