Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Treasure Hunting

 

Inside the bustling market, many people rode on exotic beasts. The roads of this world were naturally wider and larger to contain these all beasts.

The duo strolled around the street, enjoying the view. They planned to explore every corner of the market. Out of what Shen had seen so far, only three things caught his eyes.

One, this event seemed particularly large for Phoenix Setting City. Second, a small store on the ground. The old man was so decrepit-looking that he almost seemed to have a foot in his grave, but bizarrely, his eyes were sparkling bright. He opened his shop around a corner where most people would likely ignore him.

Even more bizarre was his display of items! There were only three items displayed. One was a black-colored tree branch the size of a baby’s arm, a dark and swarthy piece of black stone and black colored orb. All of them looked black and disgusting, it made one wonder why would someone even put them on display?

Absolute Vision!

Using Absolute Vision, Shen found out the branch was filled with boundless energy. But he couldn’t identify the branch’s origin. He couldn’t identify the black orb either. It contained energy he never saw before. As for the black and swarthy piece of stone, he identified it at once.

Golden Extract Essence!

Golden Essence Extract was the purest form of gold. Looking at the peach-size Gold Essence Extract, Shen estimated in order to refine such an amount of Gold Extract, one would need at least 100 tonnes of gold.

Golden Essence Extract was the purest form of gold and had additional effects such as absorbing poison or even driving away demons. Not only that, but using the golden extract for the forging of weapon, or merely coating a layer of golden essence extract on the weapon’s surface would cause the weapon to become incomparably sharp, and even elevate it a few grades. After all, of all the five elements, metal (gold) was the sharpest.

By now if he didn’t understand who this old man was, he would obviously call himself a retard. This should be the same old man who sold Qing Shui Peach of Immortality and Golden Extract Essence.

He approached this old man, “Hello, what are you selling here? Can you tell me about them?”

“I’m not sure either. All I know is that this branch is at least 60 years of age but look at it, still sleek and shiny, with no signs of rotting. As for this substance similar to a stone, I know only that it is incomparably tough, even blacksmiths are incapable of refining it. And this orb, it's my family treasure. I don’t know its uses either, but my family had it for who knows how many generations.”

“Old man, can I check the items slowly?” Shen wanted to check the orb and the tree branch.

“Young Master, take all the time you need.” The old man nonchalantly replied, as if not caring whether they sell or not. Only a few people came to his shop but didn’t find the displayed items interesting. Naturally, he was already used to it.

Shen took the tree branch and used Absolute Upgrade to check its information.

[Peach of Immortality Branch
Can be used for Alchemy. An extreme requirement for growing.]

He did the same for stone and the unknown orb.

[Gold Essence]

[Sealing Orb (Sealed)
Can seal beings up to Immortal Realm]

Sealing Orb? This is the first time he heard of it. And from how it looks, there’s something sealed inside the orb. Anyway, he decided to buy these three.

“Old man, how much are you selling these stuff for?”

“If not surviving I wouldn’t want to sell my family heirloom. If you give me 150 tales of silver, I am willing to part with all three of the items of my display.”

Shen showed a pondering look before taking out 150 silver taels, “Deal.”

Shen took the three items and tried to keep them inside the Absolute Realm. But the sealing orb was pushed back. Shen already expected this and kept the orb on his pocket.

He was going back but turned back. “Old man, honestly speaking the items you displayed worths more than that. How about you send a younger generation of your family to Qing Medicinal Hall. Tell them, Young Master Shen sent you. They will surely give him/her some work. And if he has talent maybe he can even start cultivating.”

The old man cried tears out of gratitude. He even wanted to kowtow but Shen stopped him.

Even if the items worthed 10,000 taels he can’t possibly get them. For weak wealth is sometimes a curse rather than blessing and secondly, his descendant getting a chance to cultivate worths more than anything.

“So~, what did you get?”

“Nothing for you, kid.”

“At least tell me what did you get.” Lingshuang hugged his arms as she acted coyly.

“*sigh* Golden Extract Essence.”

“What?! Wow! And what else?” Lingshuang got excited hearing they got Golden Extract Essence.

“No idea maybe something good or maybe useless. Who knows?” obviously he wasn’t going to say about Peach of Immortality and Sealing Orb.

“Ehh~~, you just don’t want to share~. Tell me! Geez, if only Big Sis Ruyan was here, you would have spilled out everything, even if she just looked curiously.”

Lingshuang was correct! He would have surely done that if Ruyan was here. Shen just nudged her head and sent her to Yu He’s group.

Shen already cleared their relationship on the way to Hundred Miles City as he didn’t want to complicate things for him in the future. Having Yu Ruyan as his wife was the first thing he wanted after coming to this world.

It wasn’t really as hard as he thought. More like Lingshuang hardly understood anything at that time, so it became easier for him to make her call Sister Ruyan.

Shen just shook his head to toss away all the unnecessary thoughts. It’s time to check some important things!
