Chapter 1262: 1262
This attendant was extremely young, appearing to be only in his early thirties . His cultivation was only at Half-Saint as well . He did not think much when Zhang Xuan first approached him, but upon seeing the countless items on the ground, his eyes widened in agitation .
Due to the exorbitant prices in the black market, unless in cases of emergency, rarely would there be anyone who was willing to exchange for concentrated high-tier spirit stones there . As a result, he had rarely received any customers . Thus, it was completely inconceivable for him to see Zhang Xuan pulling out so many items at once .
It took a moment before the attendant shook himself out of his daze, and he anxiously turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Gongzi, do you want to trade in all of these for concentrated high-tier spirit stones?"
"Un!" Zhang Xuan nodded .
He had taken most of these items from the Qingtian Lineage and the Qingyuan royal family . In the past, they could still have been considered valuable resources to him, but after his cultivation reached Primordial Spirit realm, they were no longer useful to him .
Rather than taking up space, he was better off trading them for something that could be used to raise his cultivation further .
"A-alright! I'll have the appraiser come over right now…" Knowing that an invaluable customer was standing before him, the attendant dared not show the slightest disrespect to Zhang Xuan . He quickly rushed into the store, and before long, he returned with an elder behind him .
After swiftly assessing the items, the elder turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "All in all, your items can be traded for 113 concentrated high-tier spirit stones . Here's the receipt, please take a look…"
However, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that . Bring me the spirit stones . "
He had tabulated the total cost earlier as well, and his calculations were roughly in line with the final price the elder had mentioned .
The elder nodded . "Very well . Bring me the spirit stones!"
The attendant quickly rushed back into the store before returning with a storage ring in hand .
Taking the storage ring, Zhang Xuan quickly took a look inside . 113 concentrated high-tier spirit stones, no more no less .
"Zhang gongzi, by trading a hundred concentrated high-tier spirit stone at our store, you have already automatically become an esteemed guest of our market . It happens that we have an auction tonight that is only opened to esteemed guests, so I would like to extend an invitation over to you as well . " Smiling, the elder passed over a token that represented Zhang Xuan's identity as an esteemed guest of the market .
To trade in so many concentrated high-tier spirit stones at once, Zhang Xuan could already be considered a huge customer of the black market, qualifying him to become an esteemed guest .
"Auction?" Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before shaking his head . "For the time being, I'm not really interested in attending any auctions . "
What he was lacking the most at the moment was spirit stones . Everything aside from that was not of much use .
"Gongzi, please don't reject my offer so quickly . Perhaps, you might change your mind after hearing my introduction of the auction tonight!" the elder replied with a confident smile .
"Oh?"
"In the auction tonight, there will be two Leaving Aperture realm Saint intermediate-tier artifacts and a quasi grade-8 pill that can fully restore the strength of a Leaving Aperture realm cultivator within three seconds, making it a miracle pill for clearing one's Leaving Aperture Ordeal!" the elder said proudly .
The Leaving Aperture Ordeal was a battle against the power of the heavens . Just the slightest weakness in the midst of the ordeal could spell the utter annihilation of one's body and soul .
In view of the risks, many cultivators would spend huge sums of money to purchase quasi grade-8 pills that would allow them to swiftly regain their strength . This would ensure that their strength would not be depleted in the midst of facing the lightning tribulation, thus enhancing their chances of clearing it .
Of course, such pills were extremely expensive as well . The average cultivator would never be able to afford their exorbitant prices .
"It's fine…" Zhang Xuan shook his head .
After cultivating the Saint Ascension Decipher, Zhang Xuan's zhenqi capacity could be said to be nearly boundless compared to ordinary cultivators . As such, the effects of those quasi grade-8 pills on him were truly insignificant . As for Saint-tier artifacts, he already had the Golden Origin Cauldron and his army of puppets . Why should he waste his money on purchasing others?
With a light chuckle, the elder said, "If gongzi is uninterested in those, there's one thing that you might be interested in . "
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan asked .
"Annal of Bedstead Disquisition!" the elder said .
"Annal of Bedstead Disquisition?" Zhang Xuan frowned .
"When Sage Luo passed by this area, the head of the Qianchong Empire Master Teacher Pavilion back then, Pavilion Master Yan, specially visited him to pay respects to him .
"Seeing that Sage Luo was resting, he stood perfectly still on the spot for three days straight, resulting in a huge heap of snow covering his entire body . In view of his sincerity, Sage Luo began lecturing Pavilion Master Yan while seated on his bedstead .
"According to historical records, the sight then was truly phenomenal . Countless celestial flowers descended from the sky, and golden lotuses bloomed from the ground . Origin Energy surged into the surroundings, and even the heavens seemed to rattle from his teachings .
"Pavilion Master Yan recorded the teachings that Sage Luo imparted to him back then in a book and passed it down to the later generations, and that book is known as the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition!" the elder explained .
"Sage Luo?" Zhang Xuan frowned .
"Un . The old ancestor of Sage Luo Clan, Luo Tianyun!" the elder replied with a nod . "According to the rumors, there are some secrets concerning the Luo Clan's cultivation technique hidden within the annal, and if one studies it diligently, it will advance one's understanding of space significantly .
"However, the annal went missing at some point in time, and for many years, no one was able to find it . It was only recently that someone coincidentally discovered it, and passing through many hands, it eventually found its way into our market . "
Hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up .
In truth, he had no interest in the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition . However, hearing that it had some ties with the Luo Clan, he could not help but feel a little moved .
If he could uncover the secrets of the Luo Clan's cultivation technique through the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition, this might very well add to his bargaining power against the Luo Clan when he sought Luo Ruoxin in the future .
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before asking, "May I know roughly how much the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition is likely to be sold at?"
If he could get a rough estimate of the price of the artifact, he would at least have a rough target as to how much concentrated high-tier spirit stones he would have to earn .
Even though he had just exchanged for more than a hundred concentrated high-tier spirit stones, there was no doubt that this sum would be far from sufficient for him to buy something as valuable as the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition .
"While the Annal of Bedstead Disquisition was not written by Sage Luo himself, it does contain the essence of his teachings . Even if only a tenth of the original conception is harnessed in the text, there's no doubt that it's an unparalleled treasure to Primordial Spirit realm and Leaving Aperture realm cultivators . As such, even I can't say for sure how much it'll be sold for .
