95: Peach Blossom Lady, Taiyin Magic, Real Person Magical Weapon!

Shen Li's eyes lit up.

Although he had thought that the Gengjin Sword Pill would be very valuable, he hadn't expected it to be so high.

This was just a damaged Gengjin Sword Pill, and its Rank was only Low Grade, yet it could be valued so highly?

Then the value of his Taiyin Sword Pill must be...

No, he absolutely must not reveal the existence of the Taiyin Sword Pill... otherwise, he would experience a hundred ways to die.

Seeing this, Shen Li collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice,

"Good... since that's the case, then let's make the exchange."

The Wang Family Cultivator nodded and added,

"It's just that our Wang Family Market doesn't have a Formation Master of sufficient Rank to set up this Formation. Rest assured, I will write a letter and go to Qingchi Mountain to invite an Eighth Rank Formation Master to set up the Formation for you."

"It will take about a month or so, Brother Shen, what do you think?"

"That's fine."

Shen Li naturally had no objections.

Then the Wang Family Cultivator continued to ask,

"Besides the Formation, what other items do Brother Shen need?"

Shen Li pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

"Although Black Ridge City has sufficient water Qi, it is somewhat lacking in wood-attributed spiritual plants.... What do you think..."

"What is this transaction... using?"

"What do I need to exchange for the best I can get?"

The Wang Family Cultivator frowned.

"Brother Shen... the value of the Duopo Drawing... is only the value of an In-Rank spiritual plant. If it were the Yunhai Sword Art... then there really would be a good spiritual plant."

"It is ranked as Ninth Grade Upper Rank.... Our Wang Family just happens to have this item."

"Oh?"

The Wang Family Cultivator explained,

"Some time ago, outside the border Great Wall, one of our Immortal Masters was training and discovered a peach tree."

"This peach tree was a bit strange; it developed sentience... but it was infected by Demonic Qi, and its mind was somewhat evil. It even developed a Daoist Magic called Peach Blossom Miasma."

"Within the Peach Blossom Miasma, it can disorient those who enter, and if activated to its maximum, it can even corrode human flesh and blood to nourish the peach tree."

"This sentient tree has an immortal destiny... it can transform into a spirit body and can also enlighten its own offspring..."

"Our family calls her Peach Blossom Maiden."

"It's just that, as Brother Shen knows, our Wang Family is fire and metal-attributed. We simply don't need this kind of heaven and earth treasure, so it's not of much use to our Wang Family. We were just thinking of taking it out to do business in the mountains."

"Brother Shen has come at just the right time."

"With this item guarding... at least Yao Beasts below Qi Refining Third Layer won't be able to enter Brother Shen's territory."

"And this item still has the potential for continued growth."

Shen Li nodded and chose to exchange.

The Wang Family Cultivator smiled slightly.

"This item will only take half a month to reach Black Ridge City, and the Restriction will also be sent along with it."

"Understood."

"Then Brother Shen... what do you want to exchange for this Duopo Drawing?"

"Although this item is the cheapest among the few items Brother Shen brought, it is still very valuable."

Shen Li said softly,

"I want... to find a sword art."

This statement surprised the Cultivator, who then seemed to realize something and said,

"Brother Shen must have been startled by the power of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect's true inheritance combat techniques, right?"

"It's just that the Cloud Sea Sword Sect is different from other Sword Cultivators. Their combat strength comes entirely from their Sword Pill, Qi Consumption Method, and even the Yunhai Sword Art."

"These three items are not available to outsiders. Ordinary Sword Cultivators and Daoist Magic Cultivators... are evenly matched, each with their own strengths. Brother Shen should think carefully."

"Don't delay your cultivation, don't waste time."

Shen Li smiled and nodded.

"I'm just thinking of trying to cultivate it... if it's really unsuitable, I will definitely give up."

"Alright... what kind of attribute sword art does Brother Shen want? Brother Shen's family primarily cultivates water and wood, but the power of Daoist Magic and sword arts of these two attributes is rather ordinary."

"I observe that Brother Shen's body is like white snow, cold and eternal, so he should have an affinity for ice attribute? Should we start from here?"

Shen Li thought for a while, then found an excuse and said,

"Ice attribute is fine, but... I want to ask if there are any sword arts or minor Daoist Magics in the mountains related to... moon essence or Taiyin."

"Some time ago, I consumed moon essence spirit water once, so I gained a slight moon essence affinity."

This surprised the opposite Wang Family Cultivator. He buried his head in the scroll and operated for a long time.

After a full half an incense stick's time, he seemed to have found something, looked up, and said with some bloodshot eyes,

"What Brother Shen wants is indeed obscure.... Taiyin and Great Yang, these two Dao traditions are too general and rare, so they are rarely seen."

"However, Qingchi Mountain has been established for thousands of years, with extraordinary heritage, and has indeed found a sword art, but Brother Shen, this sword art is incomplete and barely In-Rank. I wonder if Brother Shen can accept it?"

"May I take a look?"

"Of course."

An introduction slowly entered Shen Li's Sea of Consciousness.

【Taiyin Wumeng · Crescent Moon】

Shen Li browsed the general outline with his spiritual sense, only feeling it abstruse and difficult to understand.

But this did not prevent Shen Li from judging.

The incomplete Daoist Magic before him should be a minor Daoist Magic within a Great Art... the outline of this minor Daoist Magic was even more abstruse than the Yunhai Sword Art.

It should be a good Daoist Magic.

Shen Li thought for a moment and still chose to exchange for it.

With the items in his possession, their final gaze fell upon the Low Grade Magical Artifact, the Cloud Shaking Sword.

"Brother Shen, this Low Grade Magical Artifact is very valuable... I imagine Brother Shen also wants to replace a Magical Artifact, right?"

Shen Li nodded. He did have this idea in his heart. Without a Magical Artifact in hand, even with the protection of the Little Vajra Technique, he was extremely weak.

This Cloud Shaking Sword was a Magical Artifact of the Cloud Sea Sword Sect, so he naturally couldn't use it. It would be safer to exchange for a defensive Magical Artifact, or a useful Magical Artifact.

Seeing Shen Li nod, the Wang Family Cultivator said,

"Magical Artifacts are diverse... Brother Shen exchanged for that Taiyin Sword Art, so I imagine you want to exchange for a magical sword, right?"

"Normally speaking, magical swords are the most difficult to obtain and cannot be easily exchanged."

"But now it's different... our Wang Family happens to have a Low Grade Magical Artifact."

"It was the weapon held by our second ancestor, Heavenly Innocence Perfected Person, before he reached Foundation Establishment and before he obtained the Heavenly Light."

"Its name is... Innocence."

"It has been stained with blood tens of thousands of times, and has slain countless Yao Beast lives with its blade!"

Shen Li quickly stood up. This magical sword carried too much Karma; he couldn't bear it!

What was this Wang Family thinking? Giving such a precious item to him?

"An item of Heavenly Innocence Perfected Person... how dare I hold it in my hand? The symbolic meaning of this item is immense... wouldn't it be... to give it to an outsider so easily?"

The Wang Family Cultivator pressed down on Shen Li, pointed to the ceiling beam, and smiled, saying,

"What I say naturally doesn't count; it's what that Immortal Master thinks."

Shen Li's expression flickered as he asked,

"But this is Heavenly Innocence Perfected Person's Magical Artifact after all... doesn't it require the Immortal Master's permission?"

"No worries, our Immortal Master doesn't care about these things."

"Brother Shen cultivates sword arts... how can he succeed without a good sword?"

"Please accept it..."

"This... alright."

The transaction completed, the Cultivator stood up on his own and said with a smile,

"My Brother Wang must have been waiting outside for a long time. I won't stop him... Before you leave, the Innocence Sword will naturally be delivered to Brother Shen's hand."

"Walk slowly."

"No need to see me out."

The creaking sound of the door closing disappeared.

The room became quiet.

Wang Chen's figure appeared from behind the screen, and both of them respectfully looked towards the window.

A wisp of cool breeze blew... Immortal Sen Yan watched Wang Teng and Shen Li walking arm in arm from the window, silent for a moment, the breeze ruffling his sideburns.

He spoke to himself,

"This little fellow... is wary of you and me."

Wang Chen asked,

"Should we?"

But Immortal Sen Yan waved his hand.

"Asking about the Sword Pill, cultivating sword arts, it all looks like he wants to become a Sword Cultivator."

"Looking at it this way... it's probably because this little fellow has a Sword Pill in his hand."

"So cautious... it clearly shows he doesn't trust our family."

"Why bother to press him further?"

"Really... it's just a Ninth Rank Sword Pill, is it really necessary to be like this? It makes our Wang Family seem petty."

"Before he leaves, tell him Zhao Si's message. Some things, it's more appropriate and trustworthy for an outsider to tell him."
