Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 731 - 446 "Treasure Rock": Original God Activation!

"Enough!"Yan Chuan decisively turned and left the Blood Shadow Temple.

One Primordial Pill?

Just for a piece of information, dare to sell it for ten thousand catties of Essence Stone?

You’d have to be crazy to buy that!

Even though Yan Chuan had the ’Fifth-Rank Treasure Bowl’, he hadn’t managed to accumulate enough interest of ten thousand catties in nearly three months since proving Dao!

He couldn’t bear to waste money like this.

"It’s better to go shopping at the trading house." Yan Chuan called Bai Yang: "Take me to the Wanshan Trading Company."

"With my bounty hanging high at the Blood Shadow Temple, 202 Primordial Pills are tempting, plans can’t keep up with changes, going to Lishan Sect with such a high bounty is asking for death." After seeing the "Kill List" at the Blood Shadow Temple, and his own bounty, Yan Chuan knew he couldn’t go to the Lishan Sect, and his wish to interact with the Innate ones in Lishan Sect had to fall through.

However, the prosperity of Golden Talisman City was beyond expectation. Perhaps, by settling here under the identity of ’Assassin·Meteor’, mingling with the innate exchanges in the city, utilizing the commercial environment of Golden Talisman City to earn enough Essence Stones and Primordial Pills for cultivation, and, through this vast market, continuously seeking compatible materials for merging in Treasure Rock’s Miracle Items, seemed also a good path.

Yet whether to stay or not deserved more touring around.

Wanshan Trading Company!

Glancing through a tube at a leopard!

This was Yan Chuan’s second inspection stop in Golden Talisman City.

"Yes, Sir!" Bai Yang promptly led the way.

Earlier, following Yan Chuan into Blood Shadow Temple, he hadn’t dared to utter a word, but he saw Yan Chuan obtaining the ’one-pattern iron token’ from the Blood Shadow Temple, a qualification only bestowed to Innate Divine Generals.

Innate Divine General!

Bai Yang had long discerned that Yan Chuan’s demeanor was exceptional, his power presumably strong, well-off; yet he hadn’t expected to consort with a client of Divine General Level!

This time he would surely make a fortune!

Bai Yang was thrilled and even more dedicated.

...

’Wanshan Trading Company’ wasn’t far from the ’Blood Shadow Temple’, barely two li away, seen occupying almost an entire small square on another street.

Unlike the sparse and desolate scene in front of the ’Blood Shadow Temple’.

’Wanshan Trading Company’ was crowded with guests, rivers of people came and went. Yan Chuan, just glancing from afar, in that brief moment saw no fewer than five Peak State figures entering and exiting.

Though the Innate Realm was still rare.

Yan Chuan paced in boldly, scanning around, it was endless, standing inside ’Wanshan Trading Company’, Yan Chuan fleetingly felt like he had returned to the ’Wanda Square’, ’Yintai Department Store’ of his previous life, floor after floor, section after section, a dazzling array, immensely vast.

Bai Yang followed behind, introducing timely: "’Wanshan Trading Company’ offers a complete range of goods — strange weapons and treasures, elixir pills, alien beast materials, spirit fruits, spiritual wine — everything you can imagine. Anything one can think of, there’s nothing one can’t buy. The first layer mainly deals in various materials. Section A is alien beast materials, Section B is minerals, Section C is medicinal materials, and Section D is raw stones. ’Wanshan Trading Company’ not only sells materials but also has purchasing services."

Big!

Indeed big!

’Wanshan Trading Company’ had immense scale, comprehensive business, high reputation, perhaps the prices here were not the lowest, but the quality was assured, allowing customers to buy with confidence and peace of mind.

Coupled with the variety, many wealthy patrons were willing to spend at ’Wanshan Trading Company’.

"First layer!"

"Sections A, B, C, D."

Yan Chuan casually glanced around, knowing this time he had really come to the right place.

Just wandering and taking a look, then he saw an array of display cabinets, rows of display racks, lavishly filled with hundreds and thousands of materials, categorized and sorted into one, two, three, four ranks based on strange weapons, exotic treasures, and spiritual pills, each with its storefront.

Stroll around.

View leisurely.

Yan Chuan walked past each display cabinet, row of display racks, using the Miracle Item in "Treasure Rock" to sense each piece of material on the shelves.

Bai Yang didn’t understand Yan Chuan’s intention but obediently followed.

Yan Chuan walked leisurely, with expectations, entering the alien beast material section, and then with disappointment leaving, then to Section B, Section C, again entering with hope only to leave in disheartenment.

Finally.

Yan Chuan arrived at Section D—

...

"Raw stones!" Bai Yang introduced with a trace of excitement to Yan Chuan: "’Gold Talisman Stone’ is a specialty of Golden Talisman City, and thus the city got its name."

Gold Talisman Stone!

This was a special mineral, used to forge strange weapons, exotic treasures, adding traits to strange weapons, enhancing power to exotic treasures, with extremely high value.

But ’Gold Talisman Stone’ when extracted was encased in a layer of golden stone, making it impossible to tell the quality of the Gold Talisman Stone inside till it is cut open and revealed. These freshly extracted ones are called ’Gold Talisman raw stones’.

"Precisely because it’s hard to judge the quality of ’Gold Talisman Stone’ from ’Gold Talisman raw stones’, or even if there’s any ’Gold Talisman Stone’ inside, a profession emerged known as ’stone gambling’." Bai Yang spoke endlessly about ’Gold Talisman Stone’ and ’stone gambling’, a never-remaining topic in flourishing Golden Talisman City, countless shops in countless alleys were trading in ’Gold Talisman Stones’, ’Gold Talisman raw stones’ and engaging in ’stone gambling’, ’stone cutting’.

’Wanshan Trading Company’ followed the local customs and had dedicated a zone to ’raw stones’ on the first layer as well, dubbed the ’stone gambling area’.

Some gained wealth overnight here.

Some lost their entire fortunes.

One thought led to heaven.

Another thought plunged to hell.

Such topics spread out rapidly, many legends and tragedies circulated through Golden Talisman City.

[Martial Arts ruins three generations!]

[Stone gambling ruins a lifetime!]

"Gold Talisman Stone quality is classified by size and attribute, size and weight are easy to discern, attributes are more complex. In general, ’Gold Talisman Stone’ has five basic attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and four mutant attributes: Ice, Wind, Thunder, Lightning. The most valuable are single-attribute Gold Talisman Stones; the more attributes and varied, the lesser the value. However, if there’s a Gold Talisman Stone where all five elements are present and balanced, it’s priceless, called ’Balanced Gold Talisman Stone’, valued first among all Gold Talisman Stones, even higher than mutant Gold Talisman Stones."
