Chapter 2630: Chapter 2622: Artifact Complete

Yan Yuxi unexpectedly interrupted, but Qian Zhong didn’t mind—the little girl probably thought the amount was a bit high, but her intentions were kind.

However, she didn’t hesitate and nodded decisively, "Alright, five pieces of Spirit Stone. Although it pains me a bit, it’s reasonable. I know you’re collecting Spirit Stones."

This time, Yan Yuxi decisively shut her mouth, just looking at her with curiosity—what’s the background of this Nascent Soul Middle Phase? Why did it feel like she said five pieces of Spirit Stone as if she were saying ’five pieces of Upper Spirit’?

Feng Jun chuckled and waved his finger, "It’s not over yet... I need you, Senior, to input all the information you know about Spirit Beasts, Exotic Beasts, Demon Beasts, Alien Beasts, Alien Races, Elves, Demon Race, etc... every adversary of the Human Race, into my Magical Treasure."

Qian Zhong’s face remained calm, but in fact, she was somewhat annoyed at first. For the Ancient Yao Family, five pieces of Spirit Stone is not a trivial amount. She just didn’t want to cause trouble and agreed readily. She didn’t expect this guy to continue adding conditions.

But after hearing the conditions clearly, she felt relieved because she knew the purpose of this Magical Treasure. However, her face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, "Paying with Spirit Stones isn’t enough; you want me to work for you?"

Feng Jun laughed, "I don’t mean that. Mainly, it’s because you’re so knowledgeable... Not making this request would be disrespecting you."

This was indeed true. She was a Divided Spirit Great Lord, an old monster who had lived for several thousand or even tens of thousands of years. Feng Jun only knew two people like her in the entire Tianqin, and the other was not very approachable. No matter what, he wanted this one to help.

If he didn’t have this intention, how could five Spirit Stones settle it? Although they were on the same team, this probing action was not her first time.

Qian Zhong also knew she couldn’t avoid this task, and she had prepared a step for herself—not to reduce those five Spirit Stones. A dignified Divided Spirit Great Lord couldn’t afford to lose face.

She nodded slowly, "Since you put it that way, I agree. But I also have a condition. Once the Magical Treasure is successfully tested, you must prioritize selling me a set."

She didn’t emphasize a discount, just stated the need for priority, because she could foresee that once the effectiveness of the Magical Treasure spread, forces seeking to purchase it would definitely rush in over the threshold of this manor. So she only hoped to leverage her proximity.

"No problem," Feng Jun nodded with a smile, "The third set will be yours. I hope my sincerity is clear enough?"

No mention of a discount or anything like that—and calling it sincerity full of heart? Qian Zhong’s expression remained calm, but she secretly criticized in her mind, not in a hurry to answer.

But Yan Yuxi quickly spoke up again, "Then who will get the second set?"

A cool voice next to her spoke up, "Naturally, the second set is for my Spirit Plant path."

Yan Yuxi glanced at her, alright, Immortal Yi Jue was indeed formidable, but she was also decisive and stated frankly, "Mountain Master Feng, then Pine Cypress Peak wants the fourth set."

Feng Jun looked at her, both amused and helpless, "You don’t even know the details of the Magical Treasure, yet you’re already deciding to buy a set?"

"I don’t understand Magical Treasures, but I understand people," Yan Yuxi responded confidently, "Immortal Yi Jue values this, and this Senior casually agreed to five Spirit Stones, clearly they’re not ordinary people. Plus, you, Mountain Master Feng..."

"Something all three of you favor, even if it’s just following the trend... Pine Cypress Peak should buy a set. If it turns out unnecessary, it can always be resold!"

Feng Jun laughed at her last words, "Quite a commercial mind you have, but you can’t make the decision. We’re trading in Spirit Stones."

This message was also meant for Qian Zhong—I’m only accepting Spirit Stone transactions.

As for what spirit stones the Spirit Plant path uses in the trade, it’ll depend on Immortal Yi Jue’s inclination; even if she doesn’t provide spirit stones, it won’t matter.

"Spirit Stone transaction..." Yan Yuxi froze, as the Little Princess of Pine Cypress Peak and a Nascent Soul Seedling, she wasn’t part of the Elders Council, but she could basically make substantial decisions—except regarding her own safety.

She was certain that what she wanted to buy would definitely turn a profit, even if she crossed the lines, she could make a decision on the spot.

This was decided by the family rules of Pine Cypress Peak Yan Family—the rules Yan Family descendants adhered to were exceedingly strict, besides family descendants only being punished within the family, they had the power to make impromptu decisions and act beyond the lines.

Good family traditions and rules are the foundation for a clan’s growth and prosperity. Once this foundation is abandoned, decline is not far away.

Yan Yuxi indeed had the authority to act beyond the lines, but unfortunately, she didn’t believe that the clan’s treasury held any Spirit Stones—the treasury of Yan Family might have Spirit Stones, but definitely not Pine Cypress Peak’s branch.

In her impression, Pine Cypress Peak Yan Family probably had some Upper Spirit stones, the quantity surely not much, and as for Spirit Stones, they were likely nonexistent. So, even if she secured the Magical Treasure’s slot, her family couldn’t afford the cost.

As for borrowing Spirit Stones from another branch of Yan Family, that would be very challenging, because although their name writes two ’Yan’ words identically, each branch has its own calculations, let alone Spirit Stones which are exceptionally rare resources.

Let’s take a step back and say even if someone is willing to lend out the extreme spirit stones, what can the Pine Cypress Peak lineage offer in return? They simply can’t obtain the extreme spirit stones!

Therefore, Yan Yuxi believes that even if her family could get extreme spirit stones, this magical treasure likely wouldn’t belong to Pine Cypress Peak, so what’s the point of wasting her connection? She knows very well how hard it is to gain favor with Mountain Master Feng.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and she could only awkwardly express, "Regarding these extreme spirit stones... I really can’t make the decision and need to consult the elders. But Mountain Master Feng, can you tell me how many extreme spirit stones are needed?"

Feng Jun smiled and shook his head, "I haven’t tested this magical treasure yet, but conservatively speaking... it’s at least two-digit extreme spirit stones."

"Two-digit extreme spirit stones?" Yan Yuxi was somewhat mentally prepared, but upon hearing this answer, she still couldn’t help but shiver, "Can’t we buy it with single-digit extreme spirit stones?"

Feng Jun waved his hand and answered indifferently, "If the value of that magical treasure is only worth single-digit extreme spirit stones, I don’t think it’s necessary to sell it... it’s not even worth the trouble."

Yan Yuxi was taken aback again upon hearing this. She then lifted her hand to salute, "Mountain Master Feng, you have such courage, truly admirable... I’ll go out for a while and be right back."

After saying this, her body flashed, and she was already at the manor’s entrance, then flashed again and disappeared.

Actually, she could have directly flashed out of the manor, but doing so would be disrespectful to the manor owner.

After she left, Qian Zhong spoke with a bitter face, "Mountain Master Feng, two-digit extreme spirit stones... isn’t that asking too steep a price?"

Two-digit extreme spirit stones, the Yao family could grittingly afford, but she had witnessed the entire birth of this magical treasure. Though the development strength wasn’t too subpar, it really hasn’t risen to the height of extreme spirit stones.

It’s nothing more than a few promising artifact refiners, some materials that aren’t particularly rare, and even most of the refined components are only at the precious treasure level — such components can be bought with intermediate spirit stones!

What’s comparatively difficult for Feng Jun to replicate is just three core components and the magical treasure’s integration capability.

Alright, Feng Jun did invite a Divine Spirit Stage presence to refine the magical treasure, and such a presence barely warrants using extreme spirit stones to settle, but the problem is... they only worked for a day and a half, and you ask for two-digit extreme spirit stones?

If it were not extreme spirit stones but higher-level spirit stones, asking more wouldn’t really matter. Feng Jun sells tickets for entering the void at a price of a thousand higher-level spirit stones, and plenty of people scramble to buy them, but if he dares to settle with extreme spirit stones, asking for two or three extreme spirit stones would scare off most people.

It’s not that the void isn’t good, but rather everyone generally lacks extreme spirit stones, a resource that decreases with each use. Although it’s also called spirit stone, it’s fundamentally incomparable to higher-level spirit stones in exchange rate.

Even someone as normally indifferent as Qian Zhong couldn’t help but haggle — this is extortion.

But Feng Jun just chuckled, "It doesn’t matter, if demand is high, I’ll sell more; if few people want it, I’ll sell less. Sooner or later, everyone will realize its benefits, I’m not in a rush."

Qian Zhong frowned and spoke seriously, "Doing so forces others to decipher your magical treasure... don’t underestimate it, there are indeed those who would sacrifice life rather than fortune.

This is another misunderstanding she has about Feng Jun’s refined magical treasure — she assumes there aren’t many core components and other components are easy to replicate, so surely someone would pool resources to decipher the core components.

She’s not familiar with the magical treasure’s overall management concept, only thinking that if extreme spirit stones usage could be saved, it’s very possible to lure several Nascent Soul True Sages out for decryption — frankly speaking, if she didn’t know about the mirror’s existence, she herself would be somewhat tempted.

"If it can be deciphered, then let them decipher it," Feng Jun replied indifferently. "If they decipher it and quietly use it themselves, I have no words, but if they dare to resell it, then don’t blame me for being impolite."

He believes that even if someone harbors such intentions, those who can achieve it are few and far between. As long as these people don’t make a fuss, he isn’t interested in policing that much — at the very least, to decipher this magical treasure, one would need to buy a set to observe and reference, right?

Qian Zhong understood his meaning and, after some thought, she too found no fault with this statement. The complexity of this item lies beyond her expectations, so she nodded discreetly, "You certainly have confidence... let’s hope it’s so."

As she spoke, she approached, "Where do I input divine sense?"

Feng Jun raised his hand and threw sixty-four intermediate spirit stones into the sixty-four slots on the magical treasure.

Then he activated the magical treasure, a component gently opened, revealing a series of slots. "Just use ordinary obsidian. After infusing divine sense, place the obsidian into these slots, and the magical treasure can read automatically."

He specifically avoided direct contact between the divine sense infuser and the magical treasure, and this decision was not only for himself but also for the potential customer base. No matter which family buys such a valuable item, they wouldn’t want others to touch it casually.

Qian Zhong immediately realized the cleverness of this design, blinking her eyes, then nodding slowly, "A magical treasure that reads obsidian... I must admit, just this idea alone is quite stunning."

(Update: This month, hoping to push for seven thousand monthly tickets, has anyone noticed the new tickets?)
