Longevity with a Turtle

Chapter 133: Chapter 108: Meticulous Calculation

The rare treasures at the Jingyue Marketplace auction were already so expensive, let alone those at the Qinghe Marketplace.

So, even if he participated, he would only become envious, and it might even affect his state of mind.

He arrived at the Cultivation Technique District.

He first circled the Water Element Cultivation Technique display, wanting to see how the techniques differed from those in the Jingyue Marketplace.

He took a look around.

They were mostly the same.

The best Cultivation Technique also increased Magical Power by twenty percent and didn’t come with any special characteristics.

The prices were also identical.

It seemed all Marketplaces had a tacit agreement on the prices of Cultivation Techniques.

The only difference was that the Qinghe Marketplace had a larger quantity of Cultivation Techniques.

”An Ice Attribute Cultivation Technique?”

Chen Jianghe looked at the Cold Ice Technique, a look of surprise in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen a Cultivation Technique for a Mutated Spirit Root.

Mutated Spirit Roots were extremely rare, their Talent not inferior to that of a Celestial Spirit Root.

Until now, he had never heard of anyone possessing a Celestial Spirit Root, nor a Mutated Spirit Root.

It was as if they were just a legend.

”Five hundred Spirit Stones? That’s so cheap!”

Chen Jianghe was stunned, shocked by the price.

’Shouldn’t a Cultivation Technique for a Mutated Spirit Root be astronomically expensive? Why is it so cheap?’

Five hundred Spirit Stones, and for full ownership, too.

In other words, if you bought this Cold Ice Technique, you could also sell it to others.

You could also pass it down as a family heirloom... uh, on second thought, no.

Thinking about it further, he realized why the Cultivation Technique was so cheap.

It wouldn’t sell, regardless of the price.

Even if it did sell, it was most likely bait.

’Who would buy this Cultivation Technique without a Mutated Spirit Root? If you bought it, the Hundred Treasures Tower would find out, which means the Celestial South Sect would find out. Wouldn’t they just take you straight back to the Celestial South Sect? At that point, forget the five hundred Spirit Stones; they probably wouldn’t charge you a single one and would insist on taking you in as a Core Disciple.’

Chen Jianghe went to the Body Refining Techniques area, looked around, and found that there were also more of them here than in the Jingyue Marketplace.

The prices were all the same.

Body Refining Techniques for the Qi Refining Stage weren’t differentiated by good or bad, only by the cost of the required Auxiliary Materials.

Expensive Body Refining Techniques had lower requirements for the Spiritual Materials and Objects that assisted cultivation.

Cheap Body Refining Techniques, on the other hand, had higher requirements for the Spiritual Materials and Objects that assisted cultivation.

Generally speaking, the purchase price was between four hundred and nine hundred Spirit Stones.

The oath price was between one hundred fifty and three hundred fifty Spirit Stones.

Chen Jianghe thought to himself, ’My Cultivation just reached the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining Stage. I should first stabilize it for a couple of years before getting into Body Refining.’

Besides, his current Spirit Stones couldn’t support the massive consumption of resources required for Body Refining.

Afterward, Chen Jianghe went to the Magazine District.

The price for any magazine was the same: two Spirit Stones a copy.

He was surprised to see the Yun Family Magazine.

It was also two Spirit Stones a copy.

It was just as he had suspected back then. Yu Daniu had simply wanted an excuse for him to visit, which was why he’d pretended the Yun Family Magazine was valuable, insisting that he absolutely had to return it by New Year’s Eve.

Remembering the old days, he couldn’t help but smile.

”Huh, there’s an annual report for south of the Tongtian River in the Celestial South Domain, too? Ugh, what a rip-off. They’re actually selling it separately from the report for north of the river.”

Chen Jianghe discovered that the Magazine District surprisingly had annual reports that chronicled various major events in the Celestial South Domain.

This was rather nice. Even without leaving Qinghe Marketplace, he could learn about the major events happening throughout the entire Celestial South Domain.

But that wasn’t what Chen Jianghe was looking for.

So, he began to browse the Magazine District.

A short while later, he finally found what he was looking for.
