Chapter 278: Chapter 144: Unknown Spiritual Fire? Luo Qingshan is Back!_1
“`
After giving that old geezer Fu Qiu another thirty-thousand talismans,
Luo Changfeng shooed the two old men in front of him away.
He then sat alone under the Stone Pavilion, silently sipping the warm tea in his hands.
Having made some spirit stones, naturally he had to buy some things.
Alchemy furnaces, spiritual fires, and the like.
Luo Changfeng planned to get something more advanced.
If it were before, the yellow-grade low-grade alchemy furnace he got from Fu Qiu was enough.
That yellow-grade low-grade Black Crow Flame was also quite good.
But now… it seemed the grade wasn’t quite sufficient.
“I remember, the Wan Dan Sect’s main sect treasure vault had quite a few new additions for sale…”
Luo Changfeng thought to himself.
Waving his hand, he took out a list of items for sale inside the Wan Dan Sect’s main sect treasure pavilion.
He flipped directly to the page of spiritual fires and beast fires.
Several familiar types of spiritual and beast fires appeared before Luo Changfeng’s eyes.
Aside from those few familiar types of spiritual and beast fires,
this list seemed to have three different kinds of flames added to it.
[Spiritual Fire・Top-tier Earth Grade・White Bone Demonic Fire! (Remaining: 1 portion!)(Price: 50 thousand top-grade spirit stones!)(Description: A demonic fire birthed from thousands of white bones, this fire can be hot or cold, and can even penetrate the physical body to burn one’s soul directly!)]
[Spiritual Fire・Upper Tier Earth Grade・Volcano Flame! (Remaining: 1 portion!)(Price: 10 thousand top-grade spirit stones!)(Description: A spiritual fire naturally born from within millennia-old volcanoes, it has a temper as violent as a volcano. If used in combat, it can erupt with extraordinarily terrifying destructive power!)]
[Beast Fire・Upper Tier Profound Grade・Rhino Heart Flame! (Remaining: 1 portion!)(Price: 100 top-grade spirit stones!)(Description: A flame burning from the heart of a yellow flame rhino, this flame is tame and easily subdued, providing a significant boost for alchemy or artifact refining!)]
[Spiritual Fire・Mid Tier Profound Grade・Deep Blue Flame! (Remaining: 1 portion!)(Price: 50 top-grade spirit stones!)(Description: A flame naturally born at the bottom of the deep sea, this fire cannot be extinguished with water; once touched, it will become a big problem…)]
[Spiritual Fire・Unknown! (Remaining: 1 portion!)(Price: 1 top-grade spirit stone!)(Description: An unknown type of spiritual fire, never seen before, only known for its pitch-black flame that can burn many things into oblivion as if lacking its own consciousness!)]
[Beast Fire・Low-grade Yellow Grade・Black Crow Flame! (Remaining: 28 portions!)(Price: 10 thousand low-grade spirit stones!)(Description: A flame taken from the body of the immortal realm’s demonic beast, Flame Black Crow, exclusively owned by Wan Dan Sect, it is the most common flame among Wan Dan Sect alchemists!)]
[Spirit Stone Exchange: 1 top-grade spirit stone = 100 upper-grade spirit stones = 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones = 1 million low-grade spirit stones!]
Looking at the sales list of various flames before him,
Luo Changfeng slightly narrowed his eyes.
Volcano Flame, Rhino Heart Flame, and Black Crow Flame.
These three types of flames were already regulars on this fire list.
Black Crow Flame, a low-grade Yellow Grade, exclusively owned by Wan Dan Sect.
He won’t talk about this type of beast fire.
However, what was somewhat unexpected,
was that recently two portions of the upper-tier earth grade Volcano Flame were sold, leaving only the last one.
Volcano Flame, this item’s selling price was no less than 10 thousand top-grade spirit stones.
When converted to low-grade spirit stones, isn’t that a staggering ten billion?
“Looks like there are quite a few wealthy people in Wan Dan Sect…”
Thinking this over, Luo Changfeng silently followed the list of flame prices from top to bottom.
Until, he saw that flame labeled as unknown.
He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Unknown?”
“What is this thing?”
“Not only is the name unknown, but even its grade is unknown?”
“And this thing, the price is actually a top-grade spirit stone, which is equivalent to a million low-grade spirit stones…”
“Something’s off, this item is a bit suspicious.”
Varying thoughts churned in Luo Changfeng’s mind as he looked at the introduction.
By normal reasoning…
This item should be a huge oversight.
If he didn’t buy it, it would be a loss.
But since that almost protagonist-templated guy, Luo Qingshan, appeared,
he no longer quite believed in those so-called patterns.
“To buy or not to buy?”
After pondering, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
Now, thinking about whether to buy it or not
seemed almost pointless.
After all, he didn’t even have enough spirit stones on hand to pay for one-fifth of that flame.
If he considered the spirit stone reserves of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
he could barely scrape together a million top-grade spirit stones.
He could purchase that one mysterious unknown spiritual fire.
However, if he truly did so,
the vast Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect would collapse completely in a short time.
As many things within the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect came to a halt and development was greatly hindered,
how could they continue to expand and strengthen the sub-sect without even being able to pay the alchemists’ salaries?
Committing acts like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs or draining the pond to get the fish was something Luo Changfeng naturally couldn’t do.
“Guess I should save up for a bit longer!”
“Or maybe work harder and produce more talismans for a while?”
“According to that old fart Fu Qiu’s words…”
“The talisman market in Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect seems pretty good.”
