"Refined Iron?!"
Everyone was startled and looked at the young Cultivator.
He carried two snakeskin bags on his back, his clothes were slightly torn, and a Little Squirrel stood on his shoulder, all indicating a dusty, travel-worn appearance.
He was clearly a Loose Cultivator from the wilderness.
But how could a Loose Cultivator from the wilderness possess Refined Iron?
Everyone was both envious and puzzled.
A patrolling Cultivator, dressed in a Zhengyang Sect robe, also looked at Li Zhuo with curiosity.
Being in the Qi Refining Realm, he could naturally see more.
Li Zhuo's aura was steady and deep, indicating he had definitely practiced an extremely profound Body Tempering Cultivation Technique.
Moreover, he could casually produce a treasure of Refined Iron quality.
It was quite obvious.
This dusty, travel-worn Cultivator should be from a two-star or three-star great School!
Thinking of this.
The Zhengyang Sect Disciple moved a little closer.
To prevent any ignorant hotheads from offending this Prodigy from a great School!
The young girl, however, completely disregarded everyone else's thoughts.
She took the Refined Iron from Li Zhuo's hand and exclaimed in admiration.
"What good Materials!"
"The Impurities are so few!"
"What's even more perfect is that it has absolutely no other attributes!"
"Even I rarely get the chance to forge with such Materials!"
Looking up at Li Zhuo, the young girl's eyes sparkled: "I'll forge it for you for free! If you have more Materials of this quality, I can forge them for you for free!"
"Uh..."
Li Zhuo opened his mouth, feeling a bit bewildered.
He had specifically added a little Impurities to the Refined Iron, yet it was still so precious?
He looked at the impure Refined Iron in the young girl's hand, then thought of the pure Refined Iron axes and hoes in the Safe Zone.
Li Zhuo sighed inwardly.
After all, she came from a major Artifact Refining sect; she should eat some fine grain...
However.
Li Zhuo did not want to attract attention.
This went against his "Dao of Prudence."
Therefore.
He reached into his snakeskin bag and quietly added to the remaining Refined Iron.
He added some Impurities and other attributes.
As for the largest piece of Refined Iron, Li Zhuo planned to take it directly back.
Anyway, he only intended to buy a Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Technique, and a piece of impure Refined Iron would be enough.
Li Zhuo was quietly adding to the Refined Iron.
The young girl also began forging.
The little beast's flames combined with the young girl's whirlwind hammering technique were indeed invincible.
Before long.
The Refined Iron had taken the shape of a breastplate.
With one final hammer blow.
The young girl then pulled out a thin needle and directly touched it to the breastplate.
Her strokes flowed like a swimming Dragon!
Drawing various mysterious symbols!
This process was extremely taxing on her mind.
The young girl held her breath, fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead, yet her handiwork was extremely steady.
Each stroke was precise and orderly, showing extraordinary talent.
The onlookers also knew that this was a critical moment and dared not make a sound.
Their eyes, however, were filled with envy.
After a while.
The young girl finished drawing.
She immediately took out a translucent Spirit Stone and pressed it onto the breastplate!
Crack!
The Spirit Stone shattered with a sound.
Strands of Spiritual Qi burst forth, then all merged into the patterns on the breastplate!
The breastplate trembled slightly.
A faint glimmer of light seemed to flash and disappear.
The young girl was overjoyed: "It's done!"
She held up the breastplate and admired it for a while, delighted.
She then brought it before the little beast, almost touching its nose, and smugly said: "See, see, I've completed a Magic Treasure, you won't stop me this time, will you~"
The young girl handed the breastplate to Li Zhuo and said cheerfully: "Thank you, if you still have Materials of this quality, I'll still forge them for you for free~"
After speaking.
She was about to pack up her stall.
Li Zhuo knew this was the best opportunity, so he immediately pulled out another piece of Refined Iron from his snakeskin bag.
"What, you really have more?!"
The young girl was stunned, took the Refined Iron, and examined it carefully: "There are a few more Impurities and other attributes, but it's still considered good Materials~ However, I'm a bit tired, I'll do it for you tomorrow..."
"No, it's not for me."
Li Zhuo interrupted the young girl, then turned to the crowd, "Fellow Daoists, I intend to sell this piece of Refined Iron..."
Although there were many Cultivators gathered here.
Most of them were just watching the excitement.
As low-level Cultivators, they didn't have any good Materials.
They could only envy others.
But this time, it seemed a Cultivator intended to sell precious Materials?
The slow-witted ones were still confused, while the clever ones had already started bidding.
"I offer ten Spirit Stones! Fellow Daoist, please be sure to sell this treasure to me!"
"Hmph, ten, are you trying to bribe a beggar... uh, Fellow Daoist, I didn't mean it that way, I offer fifteen Spirit Stones!"
...
After a fierce argument and even a brawl.
The Zhengyang Sect Cultivator dealt with a few hotheads.
Li Zhuo then drifted away with a half-snakeskin bag full of Spirit Stones.
Leaving behind the bewildered young girl, the lucky person laughing while holding the Refined Iron, and the surrounding onlookers gritting their teeth.
After getting the Spirit Stones.
Li Zhuo found a restaurant and indulged in a hearty meal.
He was satisfied only when his belly was round.
The Little Squirrel also took two bites but immediately spat it out: "Pah, a strange taste, it has lost the true flavor of food!"
Of course, Li Zhuo ignored the Little Squirrel.
Having eaten and drunk his fill.
Li Zhuo touched the breastplate inside his robe and checked its attributes.
【Individual Information: Magic Treasure Class — Refined Iron Breastplate】
【Special Effect】: Injecting Spiritual Qi can significantly increase 【Defense】 for a short period.
【Attributes】
Defense: 15 (Normal Defense, can reduce the effect of Spell attacks from Qi Refining Realm Cultivators)
Defect: 6 (Medium Defect)
【Allocatable Attribute Points】0
Looking at the breastplate's attributes, Li Zhuo nodded.
"As expected of a purely defensive Magic Treasure, all other attributes are 0, with only 【Defense】 and 【Defect】 attributes."
His cheat opportunity for the day was used up, so Li Zhuo no longer thought about the breastplate.
He started on his main business.
When he first entered the market, Li Zhuo had roughly looked at the small stalls.
There were three stalls displaying a few tattered Cultivation Techniques.
Li Zhuo naturally wasn't worried about this problem.
His Golden Finger was simply a Divine Artifact for appraising treasures!
As long as the total attribute points were high enough, he could turn waste into treasure~
He ambled to the first stall.
Li Zhuo looked at the tattered Cultivation Techniques on the stall and casually picked up one.
"*Serpent Body Tempering*"!
Seeing someone patronize his stall, the long-bearded Cultivator said cheerfully:
"Fellow Daoist, you have good taste. This Body Tempering Cultivation Technique of mine comes from the Cloudsoaring Secret Realm and is a Cultivation Technique compiled by a great powerful being based on the blood essence of the Heavenly Python! Only fifteen Spirit Stones, absolutely worth more than its price!"
Li Zhuo looked at the information given by his cheat and chuckled.
【Individual Information: Cultivation Technique Class — Green Serpent Body Tempering Technique】
【Attributes】
Cultivation Technique Effect: 0
Difficulty of Comprehension: 1
Cultivation Technique Defect: 0
【Special Attributes】
Damage Level: 3
"It is indeed a good treasure, but I have no use for it." Li Zhuo smiled and shook his head, putting down the Cultivation Technique.
Afterward.
He also checked the other Cultivation Techniques on the stall.
Unfortunately.
The total attribute points were extremely low, making them completely unnecessary for Cultivation.
Li Zhuo shook his head, about to leave.
The stall owner, who hadn't made a sale in half a month, grew anxious and stopped him: "Fellow Daoist, please wait, what kind of Cultivation Technique are you looking for?"
Li Zhuo smiled and said: "It has to be something that catches my eye."
The stall owner looked left and right, then pulled out a tattered booklet from his robe.
At the same time, he lowered his voice and said: "This is a truly good treasure!"
Li Zhuo's eyes lit up.
