58 -57 Quadrilateral Pavilion_1
Duanmu City truly lived up to its reputation as a hub of trade, with bustling crowds everywhere.
Every day, tens of thousands of tribal peoples and countless adventurers who’d experienced the ferocity of the Great Wasteland gather here.
Countless treasures, rare and wondrous items such as exotic beast bones and blood, sacred medicinal elixirs were innumerable here, a feast for the eyes.
As Xiao Chen wandered through the city, he noticed that the streets were straight and intersected in a neat grid.
The streets were paved with blue stones and were over ten feet wide.
Even with vendors from the human race lining both sides of the street, it did not feel crowded.
Above the Blue Stone Streets, countless human counterparts sat casually on the roadside.
In front of them were a few beast skins, on which they laid out treasures, beast bones, ore, divine weapons, and one could sporadically spot battle armor and beasts.
It was not these items alone that astounded Xiao Chen.
As he ventured deeper into the city, he saw people trading techniques and Martial Arts in the corners, along with some unusual items that he had never heard before.
The Great Wasteland was vast, with vast resources.
Xiao Chen observed the surroundings continually, with a clear objective.
He would directly dismiss anything unnecessary for him, or the Gu Yuan Tribe.
“These ordinary beast bones and treasures, armor, and so on are no longer of much use for our Gu Yuan Tribe.
The tribal chiefs and warriors of my tribe can easily obtain these items from the Great Wasteland.
Besides, it also presents an opportunity to temper their bodies and cultivate martial arts.
This time around, we can purchase some rare materials and seeds for medicinal herbs.”
Xiao Chen possessed a Cave Heaven Space, a supreme treasure created by powerful beings for raising exotic beasts and cultivating herbs.
However, over a long period, Xiao Chen had been engrossed in tribal affairs and had consequentially neglected it.
“A thousand pounds of inferior Starlight Iron in exchange for two inferior War Soldiers, first come first served.”
“A three-hundred-year-old Earth Cold Flower, only for an equal grade medicinal herb.”
“Come and take a look!
The Human ranked, medium grade Fuhu Xiaolong Fist, which when fully trained, can defeat tigers, lions, and fight Jiao Long.
It’s strong and mighty, and has great power.
Warriors who walk the path of temperance, come take a look!
Only a hundred Primal Energy stones are needed, don’t miss this opportunity!”
Hearing the rugged, thick-skinned man’s shouts, Xiao Chen finally couldn’t help but smile.
This guy surely knew how to flatter.
If it genuinely were a human-ranking, middle-grade Martial Arts technique, how could it be worth only a hundred Primal Energy stones?
The least it could be worth was ten thousand stones; if it were a high-quality method amongst middle-grade ones, it would be far more expensive.
In the vast wilderness, whether it was the human race or the Hundred Clans of the wilderness, people often traded objects for objects due to various reasons.
However, when high-ranking warriors and large quantities of goods were traded, they generally used Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy Stones.
Primal Energy Stones were a peculiar energy aggregate, divided into superior, middle, and inferior grades.
Each piece of Primal Energy Stone contained a significant amount of Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy, but only warriors in the Blood Refining Realm or above could truly draw the energy it contained for cultivation.
The wilderness had existed for many eras during which countless Primal Energy Stones were mined and consumed.
Although the wilderness was boundless, it also couldn’t afford to be exploited by such numerous living beings.
Therefore, each piece of Primal Energy Stone was precious for the human race.
Take the entire Gu Yuan Tribe for example.
Over eight hundred years of accumulation, there were only two hundred Primal Energy Stones available when he assumed the position of the tribal chief — this was the result of the thrifty lives of the many generations of tribal chiefs.
This time, Xiao Chen had carried a thousand Primal Energy stones in his Cave Heaven Space.
This was the result of mobilizing the resources of the Gu Yuan, Black Mountain, Konmu, and Scorpion Clans.
The degree of preciousness of the Primal Energy Stone became evident.
However, for Alchemist Xiao Chen, wealth was but a worldly possession.
As long as it could enhance his strength, there was no need to be stingy with material goods.
Whether he encountered Mu Yun Tian’s matter or not, the journey to Duanmu City had long been on his agenda.
Thus, he had concocted a batch of Bone-Tempering Elixirs to refine Bone Tempering Realm warriors, to exchange for some resources.
Thus, Xiao Chen aimlessly wandered around Duanmu City.
This city was constructed mainly for trading, so the whole place was filled with small and medium-sized shops.
After wandering around, not only did Xiao Chen gain quite a bit of knowledge, but he also gained quite a few benefits.
He found more than ten different kinds of medicinal herb seeds, which he had chosen due to their rareness and broad use.
“Sifang Pavilion, it’s here.” Xiao Chen, who had already looked into the main forces in Duanmu City before his arrival, now stood in front of a building known as the White Jade Tower.
This was the place that Master Hu Guyue had insisted he visit.
Above the not-so-large White Jade Tower hung a deep black inscribed board.
The strong and bold three characters carved on it conveyed an overwhelming energy that was impressively forceful.
Without overly admiring the atmosphere of the Sifang Pavilion conveyed by the three characters, Xiao Chen stepped in.
Once inside, he found that the shop was quite humble; there was only a counter stretching across the room, and an old man sat behind it, meditating.
If it weren’t for Master Hu Guyue telling him, Xiao Chen wouldn’t believe that such a simple place was the antique pavilion opened by a major force and would possess what he wanted.
Xiao Chen’s footsteps stirred the meditating old man who opened his murky eyes slightly, casting a deep gleam onto Xiao Chen, which then quickly faded.
“Who is this mighty hero come to patronize my humble business?”
Hearing the old man speak in such a way, Xiao Chen didn’t puff himself up.
This old man gave him an elusive feeling; sometimes he would seem frail and exhausted, but all of a sudden, he would also seem inscrutable and profoundly deep.
Therefore, he succinctly stated his purpose, “Elder, I need a technique that manipulates blood qi to refine the flesh.”
“Oh, our human warriors nowadays all pursue Qi cultivation, wishing to break through realms in an instant.
Yet, you are going against the trends, preferring to refine your physical body from the Blood Refining Realm.
You’re quite interesting.”
“I believe that the great secrets of the human body are fundamental.
Cultivation is about unlocking one’s body potential.
The Bone Tempering Realm for warriors is merely about rudimentary refinement of a warrior’s bones and meridians, far from reaching perfection.
I heard that long ago, some human ancestors managed to burst the Rhino Clan, who cultivated their bodies as supreme, merely based on the great secrets of the human flesh.”
Although the old man was surprised by Xiao Chen’s request, he stuck to the principle that the customer is king in doing business.
He flicked his finger, and in a flash of blue light, two secret beast-skin books appeared on the counter.
“Given your vigorous and robust blood qi and the surging qi behind you, your strength should be far beyond a mere early stage of the Blood Refining Realm.
At the very least, your physical strength should be over 30,000 jin.
In light of this, these two methods of qi transference may be of use to you.”
Xiao Chen wasn’t surprised that the old man could see through his strength, but he was genuinely shocked that the old man could discern his physical strength instantly, “May I ask how you could tell?”
“Hehe, generally speaking, during the peak of the Bone-Temper Realm, a superior Human Clan person would possess a tremendous ten-thousand jin power.
Following this stage, their qi would be like light smoke, invisible to ordinary people.
Only those who have cultivated a special qi technique can sense the strength of a warrior’s qi.
I have practiced a special blood qi technique that allows me to perceive the potency of a warrior’s qi.”
