Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2167 1553: Luck (2)
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
"I am an Array Master by nature. The difficulty of crafting these formations isn't that great, and I have other formations on hand. You should still accept them."
Seeing him still about to refuse, she had no choice but to say, "How about this, I'll lend you the formations to use first, and after you return to the family, you can give them back to me, along with a few Heavenly Immortal Rank spiritual objects as repayment, how does that sound?"
"Alright, thank you, Aunt Fengwu." Qingxuan naturally knew this was the excuse she found to let him accept them.
But since the matter had reached this point, refusing further would be too disrespectful to Jiang Fengwu, so he had to accept them.
Moreover, these formations could indeed compensate for his lack of offensive power, ensuring his safety in the Void ahead.
"Wishing Aunt Fengwu a smooth journey, full of gains, and to fulfill her desires."
"You too."
"See you then at the family!"
After speaking, Jiang Fengwu took the lead to leave.
Qingxuan remained standing in place for a moment before deciding to leave.
One headed east, the other north, two utterly different directions, with little chance of meeting again in the future.
It's worth noting, in the vast chaos, the likelihood of encountering acquaintances is even lower than finding a needle in a haystack.
Considering that some Great Abilities have means to find that needle from the sea, but in chaos, regardless of your Realm or strength, you can only rely on luck.
At least, this was the situation they found themselves in at present.
After parting ways, Qingxuan flew north to his own chaos.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he encountered a Chaotic Fierce Beast, triggering a major battle.
If it were him before, he could only rely on his strong defense to slowly drain the opponent's mana, possibly defeating it, consuming a lot of time.
But with the attack arrays gifted by Jiang Fengwu, the time consumption for the battle reduced by a full thirty percent compared to before!
Additionally, he consumed less mana and didn't become too embarrassed.
These attack formations significantly boosted Qingxuan's strength.
This also made his upcoming journey in the Void much safer.
In the subsequent period, he encountered many Chaotic Fierce Beasts.
Each time, it resulted in a major battle because the beasts lacked Spiritual Intelligence, only knowing to kill and then strengthen themselves through devouring their enemies.
Due to frequent contact with formations, Qingxuan also gained some understanding of the Dao of the Array, developing interest, and started studying the formations at hand, gradually beginning to repair them.
Whether it was his Turtle Clan bloodline being naturally close to the Array Tao, or he suddenly awakened an array talent, he could actually understand and comprehend most array patterns!
To know that before this, he hadn't deeply studied the Dao of the Array, only having some basic understanding.
But now, Qingxuan actually managed to understand and comprehend part of the Heavenly Immortal Rank's array patterns.
This talent was genuinely astonishing!
"Wait until returning to the family, you can truly study the Array Tao."
Although Qingxuan wasn't like traditional Array Masters, advancing step by step from low-level to slowly improve his Dao of the Array Realm, learning skills was never restricted by timing.
Don't think him studying formations is a waste of time; in reality, it's also a form of cultivation.
But more importantly, during this ongoing fighting process, Qingxuan's Realm and cultivation speed increased rapidly; he was already nearing a breakthrough to mid-stage Heavenly Immortal!
"Indeed, chaos is suited for Heavenly Immortal training." He slightly closed his eyes, feeling his immense progress, and couldn't help but express a sentiment.
How long had he stayed in the Void? Just over a thousand years, and his Realm and cultivation had seen such tremendous improvement, which would be impossible in the Primal Spirit Realm, unrealistic.
And as for Qingpeng and Qingcang's years of effort in the Primal Spirit Realm, they got easily surpassed by him.
Bang—
A sudden loud noise came from not far ahead.
"Hmm?"
Qingxuan's expression changed slightly, hesitating whether to go and investigate.
Considering the possibility of substantial gains, he ultimately decided to fly towards the source of the noise, while preparing for protection.
But upon approaching, he found the source wasn't a battle, but a large palace crashing into the Void!
"Could it be...?"
Qingxuan proceeded forward, seeing the plaque hanging atop the palace, inscribed with the words 'Ten Thousand Treasures Hall', he exclaimed excitedly: "Could it be the Chaos Commerce Jiu mentioned?!"
Rumble—
With a slow creak, the weighty door swung open, but a blinding Spirit Light obscured the interior, rendering any view from the outside impossible.
After a brief pause, Qingxuan resolved to step forward and investigate—since he had already come this far, a few more steps wouldn't make a difference.
"Welcome to Chaos Commerce, esteemed guest!"
The instant he crossed the threshold, a clear and pleasant voice greeted him, "I am Jia Hong, here to guide you through your first visit to Chaos Commerce."
Chaos Commerce operates across four tiers: Heavenly Stem, Earthly Branches, Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand.
Do not underestimate this individual; though he is of the lowest tier, those within the Jia-branch are considered the cream of the crop!
Upon entry, Qingxuan observed that the hall's interior was remarkably vast, likely having its dimensions expanded through the use of some spatial Divine Power.
"Chaos Commerce, as its name implies, traverses the chaos. Individuals with auspicious fate or those carrying valuable treasures may be detected by the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall and brought directly before it, or they might materialize at random locations within the chaos."
Qingxuan was astonished; this establishment could freely navigate the chaos! The underlying power it wielded must be formidable...
He surmised that he must have encountered the latter scenario.
However, this also suggested his recent fortune was exceptionally good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chanced upon Chaos Commerce at this very moment.
Sensing his surprise, Jia Hong offered a subtle smile, his expression tinged with undeniable pride.
He then continued his introduction, stating, "Within the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, guests can witness beings from across the Ten Thousand Realms engaged in trade and commerce. Chaos Commerce does not vouch for the authenticity of Spiritual Objects unless the guest opts to pay Spirit Crystals for authentication."
"Naturally, in addition to individual vendor stalls, there are several shops operated directly by the commerce. While their prices may be slightly higher, they provide a guarantee of genuine Spiritual Objects."
This system was quite understandable, bearing little difference to the bustling marketplaces and Immortal Cities found within the Primal Spirit Realm.
"The most enticing feature is undoubtedly the gambling hall! All Spiritual Objects within are encased in a special Spirit Stone, further protected by an array that suppresses Divine Sense. Even venerable Taoist Monarch Great Abilities cannot discern the contents within."
"There was an instance where an individual spent ten Spirit Crystals and discovered a Daluo Spiritual Object, yielding a profit of tens of thousands of times their initial investment! If you harbor any interest, feel most welcome to give it a try."
Qingxuan remained unfazed, his mind tinged with skepticism. He suspected the tale Jia Hong recounted was a carefully orchestrated event designed by Chaos Commerce to entice more beings into gambling with spiritual items.
"We, Chaos Commerce, operate with utmost sincerity and would never resort to such trivial deceptions."
As adept reception personnel, they possessed a keen ability to observe and interpret expressions. Jia Hong, catching Qingxuan's subtle doubt, immediately moved to safeguard the commerce's reputation.
He then issued a stern admonition, "Please be reminded that guests are strictly forbidden from resorting to force within the hall, irrespective of their identity or power. Any transgression will result in immediate expulsion. Furthermore, should any items within be damaged, the responsible party must provide compensation at a hundredfold the item's value. Inability to settle the debt with sufficient Spirit Crystals will necessitate serving the commerce until the dues are cleared."
"May I inquire if there is anything further the guest wishes to know? If not, you are free to explore at your leisure."
"I seek to acquire a transferable Life Star Absorption Secret Technique. What is the associated cost?"
Through Jia Hong's comprehensive explanations, Qingxuan had gained a foundational understanding of Chaos Commerce and promptly articulated his most pressing need.
