Chapter 738 - 449: Unaware of the Precious Essence Postnatally, Innately Staring at the Wall in Vain Tears!_2

No way."Treasure Rock".

"Mutual Teaching and Learning".

Neither works well.

After considering Lu Yuru’s "Wisdom Eye", Yan Chuan thought about collaborating with Lu Yuru on some treasure hunting once things were stable.

But such money-making is unstable, purely reliant on luck. Where in the world are there so many treasures waiting to be discovered?

This also has limitations and challenges.

After visiting the ’Blood Shadow Temple’ and giving up any thoughts of returning to the ’Lishan Sect’, Yan Chuan, seeing the prosperity of Golden Talisman City, initially planned to implement "Mutual Teaching and Learning" along with "Wisdom Eye", opening a Martial Arts Hall and treasure hunting simultaneously to earn some money.

Unexpectedly, "Treasure Rock" emerged out of nowhere, one of its auxiliary functions could actually sense the presence of Gold Talisman Stones without any specific tier or specific attribute in Gold Talisman raw stones.

All of a sudden.

Making money is no longer a worry!

...

"The ’Fourth-Rank Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ can be upgraded through the fusion of ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’, therefore it can sense them."

"In other words, as long as I take a walk around the ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone Market’ in Golden Talisman City, I can find all the ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stones’.

A Fourth-Rank Gold Talisman Stone of the lowest quality, even if mixed with Five Elements, is worth at least 1 Primordial Pill.

A dual attribute is worth at least 5 Primordial Pills.

Such a rare opposing dual attribute like Water and Fire can fetch up to 7 or 8 Primordial Pills.

This single stone causes Yan Chuan to earn handsomely.

Even counting as 5 Primordial Pills, and calculating based on ’Primordial Pill Cultivation’, the Eighth Realm "Nine Yang Divine Skill" can refine 200 jin of Essence Stone and 400 jin of Essence Energy daily, while a One-Pattern Primordial Pill costs 10,000 jin of Essence Stone, containing 6,000 jin of Essence Energy, allowing for half a month’s cultivation.

Primordial Pills equate to two and a half months.

"This means, as long as I keep the ’Fourth-Rank Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’, each time I sense a ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’, it can support me for at least two and a half months of cultivation."

"Or rather, as long as I can find a ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ every two and a half months, I can continuously use Primordial Pills for seamless and intense cultivation."

Two and a half months.

Water and fire gold talismans.

It’s hard for ordinary people, but for Yan Chuan: "Even if the ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ is rare, with the vast market of Golden Talisman City, finding one or two pieces every two and a half months shouldn’t be difficult."

But the challenging point here is—

First, there’s the issue of selling, the ’Fourth-Rank Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ currently seems only capable of sensing ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’. Yan Chuan can indeed buy the raw stones back to cut himself, but how to sell them, and how to explain that each Gold Talisman Stone he sells happens to be ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute’, poses a problem.

Even if Yan Chuan disguises and sells them covertly, if there are people specifically monitoring the Gold Talisman Stone market in Golden Talisman City, they could easily notice the peculiar increase of ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ on the market, leading to a hassle.

Of course.

This point can actually be ignored, since Yan Chuan possesses the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ with a physique strength reaching the Sixth Rank, his rapid growth means even if only selling one ’Fourth-Rank Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ every two and a half months, by the time anyone in Golden Talisman City notices anything unusual, Yan Chuan might already have cultivated a Sixth Rank physique, fearless of any challenge.

It’s not a big problem.

But here comes another issue: "The ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ aids my cultivation, if it remains stuck without enhancement, capped at the Fourth Rank Peak, it won’t help me much, too wasteful."

Yan Chuan’s intention to enhance the ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ to Fifth Rank was to better assist in his cultivation, but enhancement means upon reaching Fifth Rank, and before at least enhancing to Level 50 which is Fifth Rank Peak, further upgrading the ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ doesn’t require any material fusion.

[Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet (Level 41).]

[Fifth Rank Three-headed and Six-armed (Level 43).]

[Fifth Rank Star Stone (Level 42).]

[Fifth Rank Gathering Treasure Basin (Level 41).]

[Fourth Rank Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle (Level 40).]

[Fourth Rank Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow (Level 40).]

[Fifth Rank Northern Mansion (Level 41).]

...

Yan Chuan currently possesses seven miracle items, five of which are Fifth-Rank exotic treasures yet to reach Tier Peak and incapable of sensing material or Golden Talisman Stones.

The Fourth Rank Peak ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ can.

The Fourth Rank Peak ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ should theoretically also be able, but six days ago, Yan Chuan went through many ’Golden Talisman Raw Stones’ at Wanshan Trading Company without seeing the ’Fourth Rank Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ sensing anything. Yan Chuan speculates it might be due to not encountering a compatible attribute ’Golden Talisman Stone’, or perhaps the ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ just doesn’t match with any attribute ’Golden Talisman Stone’.

If the ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ doesn’t resonate with Gold Talisman Stones, then the ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ would be the only one capable of sensing them.

"But that’s not right—" Yan Chuan suddenly thought about "Treasure Rock" still having space, then considered the dozens of exotic treasures on Lu Yuru: "If among them, one can match with Gold Talisman Stones, then I can safely enhance the ’Sun and Moon Colored Glaze Bottle’ to Fifth Rank, concentrating on sensing Gold Talisman Stones with this extra exotic treasure."

With this thought.

Mindset opened.

"No, no, no!" Yan Chuan smiled: "Since the eighth miracle item is to specifically sense Gold Talisman Stones, why limit myself to Lu Yuru’s dozens of exotic treasures?"

Yan Chuan has a better plan!

...

"What kind of weapon are you looking for, sir? Our Wanshan Trading Company has everything from sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, pikes, hooks, and pitchforks!"

After six days, Yan Chuan revisits Wanshan Trading Company, this time he didn’t rush to the raw stone area on the first floor, instead heading straight to the Second Layer’s exotic weapons area, finding the exotic weapons shop, ready to purchase a handy weapon.

"Second or third-Rank will do." Yan Chuan casually looked around and made his request: "I have many second and third-Rank Gold Talisman Stones of various attributes in my possession, along with a piece of Fourth-Rank dual attribute Gold Talisman Stone, planning to buy an exotic weapon to upgrade using the Gold Talisman Stones, recommend some."

"——Sure, sir." The shop’s attendant was visibly surprised, not because of Yan Chuan’s odd request. In fact, it’s common for Wanshan Trading Company’s customers to make such requests, some even more bizarre. They’re long accustomed to it. The attendant was stunned because Yan Chuan actually has a Fourth-Rank dual attribute Gold Talisman Stone, something worth at least 5 Primordial Pills—

This is one wealthy fellow!

Although the attendant kept a straight face, internally he was even more enthusiastic, "What kind of weapon does sir need?"

"I’m proficient with all eighteen weapons, show me anything that meets the criteria." Yan Chuan was adept with a sword, but this visit was not primarily for purchasing a sword.

"Please have a look, sir—" The attendant smiled wider, making a transaction more likely, leading Yan Chuan to the area with the most swords: "This ’White Tiger Sword’ is a masterpiece from an outside Artifact Refiner, undeniably sharp, truly a top-grade among Fourth-Rank exotic weapons. According to evaluations by our company’s senior Artifact Refining Masters, if this sword is refined with a ’Fourth-Rank Gold Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’, it potentially can reach Fifth Rank."

Yan Chuan smiled.

The attendant continued to explain, while he listened.

This ’White Tiger Sword’ indeed looked promising and likely had Fifth Rank potential, but what the attendant said surely had a bit of glossed over embellishment, implying the sword could definitely upgrade to Fifth Rank.

If truly so, why wouldn’t Wanshan Trading Company refine it themselves rather than selling it?

A piece of ’Fourth-Rank Gold Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ is worth about 10 Primordial Pills.

The ’White Tiger Sword’, as a top-grade Fourth Rank, has a price tag of 13.99 Primordial Pills.

Added together, the cost is a mere 23.99 Primordial Pills.

But what about the Fifth-Rank exotic weapon?

Yan Chuan glanced at Wanshan Trading Company’s Fifth-Rank exotic weapons, with a minimum price tag of 50 Primordial Pills.

In and out, there’s at least double the profit.

Does Wanshan Trading Company not want to earn this?

Not really.

The success rate is just too low, risks are too high, and while success could yield fivefold returns, failure means losing over twenty Primordial Pills.

Wanshan Trading Company is a large and established business, naturally prioritizing stability.

As for Yan Chuan—

"Let me see more."
