Chapter 208 - Searching for Treasures in the Trash
When he saw Qiao Han’s expression becoming uglier and uglier, Zong Shou couldn’t take it anymore. However, some words had to be said, “During the cloud desolate era, in the battle between the common people path and Wulie Country, they only used 70 Return to Sun realm spirit masters, making a small trap to deal with the 30 thousand blood cloud cavalry. 1 Return to Sun realm spirit master coordinated with 1-2 hundred prepared martial ancestors could destroy 300 blood cloud cavalry that fell off. That caused Wulie Country to fall, or did I remember it wrongly?”
As he said that, Hu Zhongyuan and the rest were stunned. When they looked towards the bulk of armor and weapons, their eyes looked like they were looking at trash.
Gantian mountain city, the sky fox, iron tiger, wind bear, and eye wolf were the strongest. However, even if the 4 races were added together, they still wouldn’t be able to have 300 blood cloud cavalry.
With so many flaws, even if the grade of the items were high, they weren’t that useful.
Zong Shou gave the final blow, “Apart from that, I remember that this set of armor also needs a set of special heart technique right? It’s called what blood cavalry kill cultivation method. Legend has it that it is already lost. Anyways, if these items were really good, then they wouldn’t be piled up here. You want to treat me as a fool?”
Qiao Han was in total despair. This Zong Shou couldn’t cultivate. He didn’t even have a spiritual technique. He was total trash, so how was he so well-read?
He originally wanted to give up but after thinking about it he sighed. He decided to try again, raising some hope, “Prince, these items are stored for very long by our Kongqi Sect, but it is only because others don’t know how good they are. You don’t look like someone without ambition, and if Gantian Mountain wants to conquer the Donglin Cloud Continent, how could they not have a decent elite cavalry? Just relying on the black fox iron cavalry is far from enough. Although you can’t gather up enough martial ancestors now, it doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. The heart technique of the blood cavalry kill isn’t lost. It can still be found from the ruins of the Wulie Country. Below 300 cavalry there are flaws so why not just maintain above 300. If you look down on it only being able to be used for cavalry battle then our Sect can help you modify them. These armors can still be treated and used as grade 1 spiritual artifacts.”
Zong Shou’s expression changed slightly. Just as Qiao Han felt some hope, he shook his head, “Let me consider.”
Although Qiao Han was disappointed, some anticipation rose up in his heart. Since the day these armors was found by the Kongqi Sect, he had never had a good day.
Before this, he thought that he could easily get rid of them with a high price which was why his Sect spent large amounts of precious resources to repair them all. In the end, they couldn’t sell any of them no matter what.
Be it Donglin Cloud Continent or the other continents, no one was interested in these blood cloud cavalry armor and blood cloud halberd and bows.
Those hidden sects could gather up 3-500 martial ancestors and could afford the price. However they weren’t fools, they themselves could also craft more suitable spiritual weapons and thus didn’t need it.
They have been piling up here for tens of years and just the maintenance alone cost a lot.
Every time he returned to the Sect, he would see the ugly faces of those elders who blame this on him.
Zong Shou acted like he was deep in thought while also looking around. His eyes settled on another corner of the room only to see numerous messy items gathered up in that direction. They were all spiritual weapons and spiritual artifacts. There were also some fur and stones mixed within. Looking at its appearance there wasn’t anything much.
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed and walked over, “What happened to these items? They seem to be from far in the past like they cane from the cloud desolate era. Most of them look like abandoned items.”
Qiao Han was originally preparing words to say, when he heard that he tried to make Zong Shou feel good, “The prince has good eyes! Piled up here are indeed spiritual artifacts from the cloud desolate era. Although these items are abandoned, some of the artifact refining methods help our Sect a lot. This is why we would purchase some each year to send back to the Sect. Not only our Sect but others would purchase abandoned artifacts and pills. However, for some reason, there have been many abandoned ruins that appeared which was why the number of abandoned spiritual artifacts also increased…”
Zong Shou smiled and was lazy to bother about him. He started to look around the items. He didn’t intend to have any achievement in weapon crafting but the artifacts here were of great help to him.
In just a short moment he pulled out a sword from within. On the sword body was carved nine qilin with one solo horn, wrapping around one another. Zong Shou also casually took a relatively higher quality weapon from the side and slashed with the sword in his hand. It instantly broke and didn’t give out any sound.
He couldn’t help but take in a deep cold breath,” Before this sword was broken, it was probably a grade 8? What a waste…”
This sword had no spiritual energy and had a chip an inch away from the sword handle. It was obvious that it was useless.
Qiao Han took a glance, his face filled with regret, “It is indeed a waste. This sword is said to be the sword of one of the kings of the cloud desolate era, able to gather the energy of the Son of heaven. As it is made of composite metal, the materials used are uncertain so to split them up is also difficult.”
Zong Shou nodded as he continued to take a look. In just a moment he exclaimed. He took out a bright yellow pearl from the pile of abandoned spiritual artifacts, thinking to himself that they also had such an item. To throw it in the trash, this Kongqi Sect had no eye for items.
Taking a look at the other items, there were many good ones but they were mostly heavily damaged. Zong Shou causally took out over ten of them, be it price or looks he chose the better ones. Especially something similar to an ocean conch which he liked, playing with it for a long time before putting it down.
Then, he turned around and raised 4 fingers at Qiao Han, “2 grade 7 beast crystals for all the blood cloud cavalry armor and weapons along with these items as a gift!”
Qiao Han’s eyes constricted, only feeling like someone had stabbed his heart, he shook his head, “Definitely not! That is 4500 sets of grade 3 spiritual artifacts! Cavalry armor, horse armor, bow, halberd and knife all there. The combined strength of such a full set can be compared to grade 4 spiritual artifacts. Without a hundred and above grade 4 mind stones how can that do? Furthermore, it is an invincible killing item! 2 grade 7 beast crystals, to think the prince could say out such a price.”
“So that’s a no? Then continue keeping it.”
The corner of Zong Shou’s lips raised as he turned around without hesitation as he walked outwards. Hu Zhongyuan and the others originally didn’t support him to buy such trash and they all immediately followed.
Qiao Han’s face turned green and white, and after a short while, it was like he had lost all the energy in his body. He said devoid of energy, “4 crystals, nothing less! Just restoring them my Sect spent such a price, we can’t be at a loss!”
“The money you used up what does it have to do with me?”
Zong Shou snickered, looking evil, “You also said that after these items were changed they were similar to initial grade spiritual artifacts. In my eyes, moreover after the full set is used, only then could it reach that level. Which is why at most it is just 4 thousand initial grade spiritual artifacts! Forget it what about 3.5? I want to have friendship with your Kongqi Sect especially with you deacon Qiao. Treat it as you owe me a favor, I don’t want to buy it either! Give me a dragon horned winged horse to try the effects. Within 5 days you have to send it over. Oh yes, I heard your Sect is also buying and selling spiritual weapons. Can you help me get 300 three-arm giant crossbows? I’ll offer 10 grade 7 beast crystals! If you can keep it a secret I can increase by another 5!”
Qiao Han wanted to cry, but no tears came out. However, his heart was relaxed. To be able to get rid of these items and earn some grade 7 beast crystals was already decent.
The number wasn’t huge, but it was decent. Although their Kongqi Sect sent men to hunt under the cloud ocean, 10 ascended ancestors and 8 day wandering sorority masters could only get 8-10 grade 7 crystals a year. Although there were stronger experts in a sect, when one reached the grandmaster level, if they dared to go under the cloud ocean, then they would die.
This time, he had profited. He needed to thank Zong Shou, that fool.
However, why was this fellow buying giant crossbows? Could he afford it? Forget it, this was the big business deal!
…
Personally witnessing these blood cloud armor and weapons moved into the Sanlu Bank storage. Now on they were under his name.
Zong Shou was feeling delighted, booking a few rooms in this Jiefu City.
Then, he took out those abandoned spiritual artifacts and looked at them.
Tan Tao and the others beside him were speechless. In their eyes the armor was useless, and they didn’t know why Zong Shou bought them. They tried to persuade him and stop him
In the past, but he didn’t bother about them. Hu Zhongyuan’s brows were furrowed, even if one was rich, one couldn’t spend it like that. He wanted to speak but stopped himself.
Zong Shou was helpless with everyone looking at him like that, turning around. In his heart, he was thinking that Ruo Shui was the best. No matter what he did she wouldn’t say a word and take it as correct.
“In your eyes, did I make a loss? Don’t worry, this deal is not only a win, but it is also a giant one.”
Seeing that Tan Tao and the others didn’t trust him, Zong Shou was lazy to explain. He knew where the dragon horned winged horse was produced and he also remembered the blood cavalry kill method. A few years later there would be numerous more xiantian masters who advance to martial ancestors. However, he couldn’t explain that to them.
Taking that spiral shell-like thing and playing with it, Zong Shou had an idea and let Little Gold leave his arm and merge with the item.
Little Gold’s grade 4 awkward ability was fixed state. Alone, it was useless, but if combined with his copy ability from before, it was really strong. Like now when it could fix this abandoned spiritual artifact.
When those spiritual patterns formed up in Little Gold’s body, the spiritual formation of the spiral shell once again started to flow.
In the next moment, numerous random noises sounded out in the room.
“Sound listening shell, it is this item?”
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed and used a spell. A large half of the sound was removed. Zong Shou said out incantation after incantation, causing the sound to change continuously.
