Chapter 2480: Fighting for the blue crystal (1)
He was bullied in the test, and he was also bullied here? Looking at her appearance, she seemed to have suffered a big loss. Although she didn’t suffer much at the moment, she was panting heavily!
The other one facing Qiqi was a skinny man with a green mask on his face. He was an Earth Class early phase, and he looked at Qiqi arrogantly.”Little girl, if you’re smart, take out the thing. Let’s have a fair exchange. Don’t be ungrateful!”
“You make it sound nice, a fair exchange. Let’s not talk about whether what you want to exchange is as valuable as what I have. I don’t want to exchange with you, but you want to force me to buy and sell. Do you think you are the only one who can make the decision in this market?” Qiqi glared at the skinny man,”This is simply too much!”
“Little girl, do you not understand the situation? You can’t force people to buy or sell things in the market, but outside, you can do whatever you want with your fists. ” The skinny man chuckled, not caring about Qiqi’s anger at all. He didn’t think it was embarrassing, but rather proud,”If your fist is bigger, you can also take back the thing in my hand!”“You …” Qiqi’s chest heaved up and down-she was furious, but she knew she wasn’t a match for this guy. She was only a Mystic late phase peak physical practitioner, and this guy was already an Earth Class early phase-a spiritual one at that! She wasn’t his match!
In fact, from the moment he took her treasure away, she knew she wasn’t a match for this man! The opponent’s palm wind was enough to make her suffer a big loss-an Earth Class with a martial skill was different from a Mystic class.
Plus, Qiqi was only good at Qinggong, and while her level was there for all to see, she wasn’t good at fighting. If they were to really fight, she’d definitely be at a disadvantage, and that was why she was only angry and didn’t dare to make a move.
But, no matter how weak Qiqi was, the people around her were just watching-no one was going to help. It was obvious that Qiqi was being bullied, but no one wanted to cause trouble at a time like this.
Lin Yi frowned, hesitating. Should he help or not? Lin Yi didn’t want to cause any trouble-he only came here to trade for what he needed and leave after.
Qiqi, on the other hand, was someone Lin Yi was familiar with-she always returned kindness with ingratitude, but Lin Yi had seen her body before, after all, and they’d worked together in the test.
Just as Lin Yi was hesitating, the skinny man spoke again,”What are you all looking at? Can you all disperse? Why do you still want to stand up for this little girl?”As soon as the skinny man spoke, the onlookers subconsciously took two steps back. Obviously, this skinny man had some power. Although his face was covered, some people must know him. Or rather, he was an Overlord in the market and often did similar things. Most people just didn’t dare to say anything.
And those who were bullied were mostly soft persimmons who went alone. No one would stand up for them even if they were bullied. Those more powerful experts also disdained to care about this kind of thing. It was a very normal thing in the cultivation world.
“You …” Qiqi gritted her teeth in anger, almost crying. It wasn’t easy for her to find out where the market was going to be, and she’d signed up, bringing the treasure with her in exchange for some medicine that could keep Lil ‘Jiu’s condition. But who would’ve thought that the treasure would be taken away from her before she even entered the market!
In fact, this was her fault for being too inexperienced. Qiqi was afraid of losing out in the future, and so before entering, she took out her treasure to let others evaluate its value. And so, she was targeted by the skinny man.
Qiqi didn’t expect the market to be this chaotic, either-the rules she’d heard were that the market was fair and just, and that you could refuse if you didn’t want to trade. Who would’ve thought that something like this would happen before entering?
“Then where is the item you want to exchange with me?” Qiqi saw that no one was standing up for her, and that most of them were leaving after that skinny man’s shout. She knew that she was going to suffer this time, and could only settle for the next best thing.
“Oh, this is a second class pill, a small Qi gathering pill. You’re a Mystic late phase peak, so eat it to help you break through to Earth Class!” The burly man pulled out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Qiqi.”How is it? fair, right?”
“I …” Qiqi was frustrated, but there was nothing she could do. “My blue crystal is worth more than a small Qi gathering pill, right?”
In fact, while a second rank pill was valuable, everyone who saw the whole process knew that Qiqi’s stuff was even more valuable! The blue crystal, not to mention its high commercial value, was also a good item to modify weapons like some top-grade Jade!
In this era, blacksmiths had disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, there were still some divine weapons passed down from ancient times. However, these divine weapons were not necessarily the most suitable divine weapons. Divine weapons were also divided into five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Cultivators who cultivated metal-based mental cultivation methods would best use metal-based divine weapons. If they used water-based divine weapons, they would naturally not achieve the best effect.
However, cultivators were often unable to determine the attributes of the divine weapon in their hands. It was already very difficult to get a divine weapon, so why was he still being picky? How could there be such a suitable attribute for you to choose?
In that case, it was time to modify the divine weapon! The method of modification was to use the blood essence or a part of the body of a heaven rank spiritual beast with the corresponding attribute to add it into the furnace together with a divine weapon to temper and modify it. This would change the attributes of a divine weapon!
For example, the blood of a metal-type heaven rank spiritual beast could transform a divine weapon’s attribute to the metal attribute! Of course, this kind of transformation was not 100% successful. The success or failure still depended on the auxiliary materials used during the tempering. These auxiliary materials were top-quality jade stones, and pure yellow jade was one of them!
The purer and more jade stones were added, the higher the success rate of the divine weapon’s attribute tempering.
If one were to say that this pure jade was very precious to the cultivation world, then the blue crystal was even more precious! The blue Crystal’s effect was even more heaven-defying, it could turn weapons into weapons that Earth Class Masters could use! (To be continued.)
