Chapter 1062: Chapter 353: Ruins 3

“Fellow Daoist, how many spirit stones for this Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss?”

Lin Zheyu asked.

The Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss is a powerful body-tempering treasure medicine with terrifying potency, unfit for use by ordinary cultivators.

It must be combined with various treasure medicines to harmonize its properties and refined into elixirs before being ingested.

However, when refined into elixirs, its most violent and powerful medicinal power is greatly diminished.

Only by consuming it directly can one unleash the full effects of the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss.

“One top-grade spirit stone.”

The old woman glanced at Lin Zheyu and replied indifferently.

Although the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss is expensive, it sells well, so the old woman didn’t appear very enthusiastic.

Moreover, her price is much lower than the shops run by families and sects.

In shops, it costs at least fourteen hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

Which is one top-grade spirit stone plus four hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

“Fellow Daoist, isn’t that a bit expensive?”

“Although this Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss is mature in years, it has some issues with its potency being polluted.”

“Even if it can be cleared, the remaining potency is less than half of a complete Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss.”

“Not to mention the effort and resources required to purify the medicinal power of the treasure medicine.”

“Four hundred medium-grade spirit stones, no more.”

Lin Zheyu said calmly.

In his sea of consciousness, the golden Celestial Eye emitted a brilliant golden light, allowing him to see the situation of the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss clearly.

There is a reason why the heavenly and earthly treasures sold in shops are expensive.

They don’t engage in one-time transactions like stalls; they conduct long-term business, cultivating a steady stream of loyal customers.

Therefore, there is no fear of being deceived when buying from shops.

Even if there are minor issues, they are inconsequential.

However, purchasing magical artifacts and heavenly and earthly treasures from stalls involves significant risk, as hidden dangers and problems are endless.

This is why the same items are cheaper at stalls than in shops.

Only because Lin Zheyu has the golden Celestial Eye can he easily uncover the true situation with heavenly and earthly treasures and magical artifacts.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how many times he’d been deceived by now.

Upon hearing this, the old woman’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint flashed in her gaze.

“Fellow Daoist, you have keen eyesight!”

“Since you’ve discovered it, I won’t hide it from you any longer.”

“This Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss was obtained from some ruins and has long been deeply corroded by demonic will and demonic energy.”

“Four hundred medium-grade spirit stones does correspond to the value of this Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss.”

The old woman nodded slightly, speaking blandly.

Her face didn’t show the least bit of embarrassment at being found out; rather, she appeared quite calm.

This is commonplace in the Cultivation Marketplace; when buying magical artifacts and treasures, it all relies on one’s own judgment.

If one’s judgment is poor and they make a mistake, they can only swallow their pride and accept it.

“I wonder how many Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss you have, even heavily polluted ones are fine; I have other uses for them.”

Lin Zheyu took out four hundred medium-grade spirit stones, handed them over, collected the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss, and asked calmly.

He needed approximately ninety of the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss, so if there were a lot of cheap, polluted treasure medicines, that would be ideal.

The ability of Source Power is extremely formidable, capable of absorbing only the energy useful to itself from numerous energies.

Even if the entire potency of the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss is polluted, it wouldn’t pose any impact.

“Oh?”

The old woman’s expression shifted slightly, involuntarily taking a few more glances at Lin Zheyu.

“Fellow Daoist, might you possess a powerful secret technique for purifying treasure medicines?” the old woman was intrigued and couldn’t help but ask.

She’s not foolish.

Every cultivator is extremely shrewd and wouldn’t engage in unprofitable trades.

Especially the mysterious cultivator before her, with keen insight, who could tell at a glance that the potency of the Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss was polluted without even taking it in hand.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re mistaken; I have other uses for them.”

“If I truly possessed such powerful secret techniques, I would already have countless spirit stones and simply go to a shop to purchase treasure medicines.”

“Why would I come here to try my luck purchasing cheap items?”

Lin Zheyu shook his head and said calmly.

“Is that so…”

“I do have a few more Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss, but they’ve been deeply corroded and are almost worthless.”

The old woman’s expression shifted slightly, speaking blandly.

It’s unclear if she truly believed Lin Zheyu’s words.

She patted her storage bag with her right hand and took out eight Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss.

These eight spirit medicines, as the old woman said, were at least seventy percent corroded, with the medicinal potency and dirty energy deeply intertwined and difficult to separate.

“Since you want them, I’ll sell them to you for cheap.”

“For just five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, you can take these eight Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss.” The old woman said blandly.

“Deal, thank you, fellow Daoist.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

The two exchanged spirit stones and Seven-Colored Black Mysterious Moss, and taking the spirit medicine, Lin Zheyu turned and left directly.

The old woman watched Lin Zheyu’s departing figure, her eyes flickering slightly.

A dozen breaths later.

An old man with a furrowed brow emerged from the crowd, looking somewhat grim as he said, “Lost track of him; his strength shouldn’t be underestimated, best not to provoke him.”

“Sigh…”

“Let’s go. His perception is strong enough that he might already have noticed you.”

“This place is unsafe to stay for long; we must leave immediately!”

The old woman said in a deep voice.

With a wave of her right hand, everything on the stall vanished in an instant.

The two of them flickered into the crowd, speeding into the distance.
