Chapter 54: Returning with a Full Harvest (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The stall owner in front of Chen Daoxuan was a pale-faced cultivator at the ninth qi layer. He had a delicate appearance and didn’t look like a cultivator, but more like a scholar.

When the pale faced cultivator heard Chen Daoxuan’s question, he looked at the talisman that Chen Daoxuan was pointing at and raised his head.”Dao Friend, you have a good eye. This talisman is called the Ice Talisman. It’s a first-tier high-grade talisman.

It can be released at a critical moment and turn into an ice wall that is about three meters thick to block the enemy’s attack.”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan was a little tempted. He pointed at the talisman and said,”Can 1 take a look?”

“Of course you can.”

The pale-faced cultivator made an inviting gesture.

Chen Daoxuan picked up the talisman and carefully observed it.

In the cultivation world, talismans could be divided into two types according to the materials they were made of: paper talismans and jade talismans.

The so-called paper talismans were made by cultivators using specially made spirit plant stems to grind into paper, and then they would carve spells onto the talisman paper.

The advantage of paper talismans was that the materials used to make them were cheap. Cultivators didn’t need to be rich to try making them.

However, the disadvantage was that due to the defects of the paper talisman material, the grade of the spiritual talisman drawn was generally not high.

Moreover, because the amount of zhenqi instilled into the paper talisman was not much, it could not be stored for a long time. Usually, other than low-level itinerant cultivators, very few cultivators would use it in battle.

As for the second type of talisman, the jade talisman, it was much more precious.

Because the spiritual jade used to make jade talismans was of different grades, there were grade 1 spiritual jade and grade 5 spiritual jade, so the talismans made could generally cover all grades.

In the cultivation world, the reason why itinerant cultivators generally did not dare to provoke disciples of sects or large families was because they did not know if the other party had a spiritual talisman that far exceeded their strength.

If a Aura Refining cultivator held a second-grade talisman in his hand and activated it in a life and death crisis, it could even unleash an attack of a Foundation Building cultivator.

How could an ordinary Aura Refining cultivator survive such an attack?

As for why Aura Refining cultivators didn’t bring higher grade level three spirit talismans, firstly, it was because the price of level three spirit talismans was extremely high. Unless the Aura Refining cultivator had an amazing background, it was impossible for them to afford it.

There was another reason, and that was that the power of the third-tier spirit talisman was enormous, and the spiritual awareness of Aura Refining cultivators was too weak.

Although the spiritual talisman did not require the cultivator to use their own strength to activate, it still needed to be controlled by their spiritual sense.

And with the strength of a Aura Refining cultivator’s divine sense, the largest area covered by the divine sense was probably not as large as the attack range of a third-grade spirit talisman.

This was not an attack on the enemy, but suicide.

At this moment, the talisman in Chen Daoxuan’s hand was a talisman made of first-grade spiritual jade, which was also a jade talisman.

After a careful inspection, Chen Daoxuan found that this talisman was well-preserved and was a rare fine product.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked,”Fellow Daoist, may I know the price of this talisman?”

“One hundred spirit stones!”

The pale-faced cultivator smiled and extended a finger.

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan shook his head.” A hundred spirit stones is more or less enough to buy a medium-grade first-tier flying sword. It’s too expensive.”

“Fellow Daoist, you can’t say that. Although you can buy a mid-grade first-tier flying sword with a hundred spirit stones, where can you buy a high-quality flying sword in this wandering cultivator market?”

The pale-faced cultivator continued,” Moreover, at the critical moment, this talisman of mine can at least block three attacks from a late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator using a high-grade Level One magic tool.

You should know that defensive magic tools are far more expensive than offensive magic tools. The same goes for spirit talismans.”

Seeing that Chen Daoxuan was still hesitating, the pale faced cultivator put on a regretful expression.” Forget it, take a look at these treasures of mine. I’ll pick three of them for you as a bonus. How about that?”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan looked at the “treasure” pointed at by the white-faced cultivator and shook his head.”You…”

Before Chen Daoxuan could say anything, the pale-faced cultivator slapped his storage pouch and poured out a pile of messy things.

Suddenly, a familiar map fragment entered Chen Daoxuan’s eyes, causing his heart to jump.

” 1 have everything I have on me. Although they aren’t worth much, the three of them together should be worth more than twenty spirit stones. If it’s still not enough, then forget it.”

As the pale cultivator spoke, he waved his hand with a regretful expression and prepared to collect the junk on the ground.

Chen Daoxuan looked conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, “Alright, 100 spirit stones it is.”

After saying that, Chen Daoxuan took out a hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and then put the Ice Talisman into his storage bag like a treasure.

After doing all this, he looked at the pile of junk on the ground with great disgust. He picked three pieces and said,”Alright, these three it is!”

“The money and goods are settled. Fellow Daoist, take care.”

The pale-faced cultivator looked at Chen Daoxuan putting the three miscellaneous items into his bag. It seemed that he had made a deal and was very happy.

Three days later.

Ten slave-transporting boats loaded with supplies and female slaves from the Yun Nation slowly sailed from the port of Guang ‘an Prefecture to the sea.

The fleet of ten slave-transporting boats seemed enormous, but they were like tiny ants in the crowded Guang ‘an Prefecture port.

Standing on the deck of the slave transporting ship named Gray Cloud, Chen Daoxuan looked back at Guang ‘an Prefecture and silently bid farewell to Thirteenth Uncle.

Guang ‘an Prefecture Dock.

Thirteenth Uncle looked at the slave-transporting boats that were gradually becoming blurry in the distance. He sighed and silently turned around to return to the wandering cultivators market.

As the fleet entered the vast Infinite Star Sea and looked at the boundless sea, Chen Daoxuan’s mind suddenly became wider.

Because he knew that there was a family waiting for him to build up ahead. There was a group of people waiting for him to lead them!

Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan’s sadness of parting was thrown to the side, and his entire body was filled with energy!

Returning to Shuanghu Island, producing flying swords, nurturing spirit veins, expanding the family population, and nurturing the family cultivators…

Countless things were waiting for him, how could Chen Daoxuan be dispirited?

Half a month later.

On a deserted island in the southwest sea of the Infinite Star Sea.

In a man-made cave abode, two Aura Refining cultivators were quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

There were a total of three killing formations set up in this cave abode, which were enough to destroy any Aura Refining cultivator who stepped foot here.

“Big brother, why isn’t the Chen Family kid here yet? It’s been half a month!”

The boorish middle-aged man surnamed Sun seemed to be very impatient as he said in frustration.

The pale-faced cultivator was quite calm. He said indifferently,”Wait a little longer!”

Seven days later.

Two cultivators flew out of the cave abode on the deserted island with their faces covered in dust.

“Big brother, do you think the Chen family kid has discovered our plan?”

Hearing this, the white-faced cultivator carefully recalled Chen Daoxuan’s expression when he picked up the map fragment that day and shook his head.”No, he couldn’t have found out.”

“Then why?”

The boorish man didn’t know how to describe it. The temptation of the God Extinction Immortal Abode was so great, why wouldn’t the other party be moved?

The pale-faced cultivator shook his head when he heard his younger brother’s question. He was also extremely puzzled. In the end, he smiled casually.” Interesting, truly interesting. This Chen Clan brat is actually not greedy!” “What?”

The boorish man did not quite understand.

“I mean, he actually isn’t greedy when facing such a great temptation like the God Extinction Immortal Abode. It can be seen how mature and steady he is. He doesn’t seem like a youth at all.”

“He … Is he as powerful as you say?”

The boorish man thought about how Chen Daoxuan looked when he was tricked by him that day and said in disbelief.

The pale-faced cultivator shook his head and stopped explaining.”Forget it.

You and I don’t have to provoke such an enemy.”

He thought for a moment.” I plan to take you to the Yun Nation battlefield after you break through to the seventh qi layer.

With our many years of savings and the battle achievements in the Yun Nation, it’s enough for us to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

When the two of us break through to the foundation establishment stage, you and 1 will go to that place to explore.”

Hearing that place, the boorish man’s face flushed red with excitement. He cupped his hands and said with red eyes,”Big brother, it’s all my fault for being lacking in talent. I’ve implicated you all these years.”

“You and I are brothers. Why are you saying these things?”

The pale-faced cultivator patted the rough man’s shoulder.

On the other side.

If Chen Daoxuan knew that someone’s evaluation of him was that he was cautious and steady, which did not match his age, he did not know what he would think.

The reason why he didn’t explore the God Extinction Immortal Mansion was because he didn’t have the time.

Compared to the development of the family and the huge dividends brought by the industrial process, a mere God-ceasing Immortal Mansion was nothing..
