Chapter 1021: Enchanting Treasures
Chapter 1021: Enchanting Treasures
A group of cultivators filed into the shop one after the other.
The shop wasn't particularly spacious, with three redwood shelves and two wooden counters inside. Various treasures were displayed, each with a simple warding spell, dazzling the eyes.
"Third-rank Foundation Pills, and they're displayed in such abundance!"
On one of the counters, there were two to three hundred pills emitting a radiant spiritual glow.
The first cultivator to spot them exclaimed in surprise.
Although the Foundation Establishment Pills were only third-rank, in a place like the Cave Profound Sword Sect, they were not ordinary items.
To display such a large quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills was impressive, even for the big shops in Sword Abyss City.
This gave everyone a rough idea of the shop's capabilities.
"Fourth-rank Purifying Pills, capable of cleansing the body of evil influences and protecting against malevolent spirits and demons. Among its peers, it's a top-grade pill."
"Fifth-rank Elemental Pills, imbued with dense elemental power, can greatly enhance a cultivator's elemental energy. Consuming a large amount can improve one's physique and perfect the five elemental body."
The pills on the counter attracted the interest of many cultivators. Even the lowest-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were extraordinary, not to mention the abundant supply of rare Purifying and Elemental Pills.
"Could it be that this shop has a Pill Master consistently supplying high-grade pills?"
Filled with curiosity, the group continued to examine the shop's other goods.
"There are so many sword talismans here!"
On one of the wooden shelves, various sword talismans were displayed.
Some had a large sun hanging within, emitting dense red sword Qi, while others resembled surging waves, with countless sword Qi seemingly ready to burst forth, or like stars streaking across, carrying an unstoppable momentum.
Among them, two types of sword talismans exuded a presence that made many cultivators in the room feel a sense of awe.
These were the True Demon and Dark Yin Sword Talismans, which Lu Xuan was highly proficient in.
There were quite a few of them, with around twenty of each type.
Yuan Rong entered the upper level of the shop with a smile, tasting spirit brews and spirit fruits as if he hadn't noticed the fifth-grade sword talismans.
Although True Sword Peak provided Lu Xuan with talisman-crafting materials, the quality and quantity of the talismans he submitted far exceeded the value of the materials. Therefore, he didn't inquire about the origin of the sword talismans in the shop.
The largest space in the shop was occupied by various spirit brews.
There was the Jade Wash Spirit Dew, clear and pure like green jade, the Hundred Fruit Spirit Syrup, a mix of fragrances from various spirit fruits, and the Ice Marrow Spirit Brew, with a refreshing coolness that soothed the heart.
Among them, there were also four types of fifth-rank spirit brews.
The True Sword Essence and Green Dew were the most abundant due to the ample supply of materials.
Additionally, there was the Ape Demon Wine, brewed primarily from Heart Ape Fruits, and the Heart Flame Wine, with a faint white flame burning on its surface.
"Fellow cultivators, allow me to introduce the effects of these spirit brews."
Wen Qian, with a beaming smile, approached the wooden shelf and began to explain the details of each spirit brew to the surrounding cultivators.
Liu Susu, Shen Hai, and Bai Li Jian Qing also wore smiles, patiently serving the customers who had entered the shop.
The shop gathered all the rarest and most precious treasures.
There was a sixth-rank Thousand-Year Tree Heart, the rare Shadow Stone from the Heart Sword Lake, fifth-rank Pure Yang Golden Lotus Seeds, and the Thunder Roar Sword Heart...
There was even a seventh-rank treasure, the Scholarly Palace, as the shop's prized possession.
"There's even a seventh-rank treasure!"
As the group entered, they marveled at the small yet exquisite palace in the center.
The palace was adorned with jade carvings and elegant calligraphy, and within, numerous statues could be seen.
The statues varied in form, some holding wolf-hair brushes, writing with fervor, while others tilted their heads, gazing at jade books in their hands, from which faint sounds of reading could be heard, and a rich scholarly aura emanated, enveloping the palace.
"Fellow cultivator, what's the origin of this Seventh Rank Treasure?" a Core Formation True Man asked curiously.
"This is our store's prized possession, known as the Scholarly Palace. It was formed from the scholarly aura and essence of a Nascent Soul Realm scholar who achieved immortality. It holds immense benefits for Confucian cultivators, nurturing their noble and righteous energy and aiding in the comprehension of Confucian mystic techniques and divine abilities."
Wen Qian approached the Scholarly Palace, his face showing a hint of satisfaction, and introduced it to the crowd.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators on the upper level of the shop also keenly noticed the presence of the Scholarly Palace.
"I didn't expect Junior Brother Lu to bring out a Seventh Rank Treasure to impress everyone," Mo Yuanfeng said with a smile.
"I had no choice. For a new store opening, we needed a treasure to attract attention," Lu Xuan replied, half-truthfully.
"I found this Seventh Rank Scholarly Palace by chance in a Mystic Realm, but it has limited use for me. I can't use it, so I thought I'd see if I could sell it for a high price."
The Scholarly Palace had been in his Gluttonous Worm Pouch for many years, and keeping it longer wouldn't be of much use. By displaying it in the shop, he hoped to exchange it for satisfactory Spirit Stones or Sword Seals.
If it couldn't be sold, he would look for another opportunity to trade it for a high-grade Spirit Seed or a Spirit Plant-related treasure.
"Junior Brother Lu, feel free to do as you see fit. If any fellow disciples from other Sword Peaks or other forces in Sword Abyss City cause trouble for your business, don't hesitate to inform the senior uncles in the True Sword Peak," Yuanrong said solemnly.
"The entire True Sword Peak is your most solid support."
The Nascent Soul cultivators, including Yuanrong and Yuanyue, nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, senior uncles, for your support. With your presence at the opening, I'm sure no one will dare to cause any trouble," Lu Xuan said with a light laugh.
The appearance of several Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the True Sword Peak, especially the True Swordmaster, was enough to deter any ill intentions from other forces, giving Lu Xuan a strong sense of security.
After some casual conversation, the crowd gradually dispersed, not forgetting to purchase several bottles of rare Spirit Brew before leaving.
The other treasures on display were not particularly impressive to cultivators of their level, but the Spirit Brew was different. In the vast Cave Profound Sword Sect, cultivators capable of brewing high-quality Fifth Rank Spirit Brew were few, let alone those who could brew multiple types.
After seeing off the fellow disciples and senior uncles who had come to support him, Lu Xuan remained alone in the upper-level resting area of the shop, his spiritual sense quietly observing the activity below.
The various rare treasures, the discounts offered by Lu Xuan, and the mysterious raffle had attracted a significant number of cultivators.
Some, with substantial wealth, made grand purchases, and from below, Wen Qian's excited voice could be heard from time to time.
"Congratulations, fellow cultivator! You've won a Third Rank Foundation Establishment Pill in the raffle!"
"Congratulations, fellow cultivator! You've won an exclusive Minor Mystic Sword Gourd!"
"..."
As each treasure was drawn, it was accompanied by a range of reactions from the cultivators: joy, regret, excitement... The full spectrum of human emotions was on display.
"The branch store has successfully made a name for itself in the Sword Sect," Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.
"Next, I must make thorough preparations for advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm."
