Chapter 1989: Chapter 963: Mysterious Fire Sect, Mysterious Yin Cult (3)
Chen Mobai stated his name and then left with Qing Nu.
"Five Elements Sect, Chen Guixian? Haven’t really heard much... "
Hong Xiu muttered two sentences internally after hearing it. She had once contended for the position of Saintess in the Mysterious Fire Sect of the Southern State and had inquired about the other major sects in the Five Continents and Four Seas.
She knew that in the East Continent, the foremost in Artifact Refining is Yi Yuan Dao Palace, and the Taoist Child Chen Qingdi, from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, had become a Quasi-Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner sixty years ago. He is most likely the foremost Artifact Refiner of the East Continent now, and he is also the primary target of Master Yuan Huo this time.
"Sister Hong Xiu, do you know what kind of force Dao Palace Pavilion is in the East Continent?"
At this moment, after identifying the Nirvana Dan, Lin Qingqing from the Medicine King Sect couldn’t help but ask, looking at the mark on the bottle.
"Not sure, but we can ask the Primordial Void Dao Child of the East Continent when we get back; he’s a native and definitely familiar."
Hong Xiu shook her head. Like Lin Qingqing, her understanding of the East Continent was limited to the Four Great Holy Lands. Even the Star Heaven Dao Sect, where they were currently at, was something she had only inquired about before coming here.
"Sister, after you’ve taken the elixir, may I have the bottle?"
Hong Xiu nodded, immediately transferring the Nirvana Dan to her own jade box for storing medicine and then giving the bottle to Lin Qingqing. The latter had wanted to exchange for a Nirvana Dan earlier, but the Medicine King Sect’s stone platform was selling only finished elixirs. Qing Nu glanced over and politely declined.
...
Chen Mobai and Qing Nu strolled around for the entire morning. From the near-empty early hours, it quickly became bustling, with almost every stone platform surrounded by a crowd.
After all, this was the center of Stone City, where the best items were gathered. Besides Nascent Soul Cultivators, Golden Core Cultivators with free time would also come in to see if they could afford anything.
Thankfully, the Star Heaven Dao Sect restricted their disciples from coming over; otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a place to stand.
At noon, Chen Mobai ran into Ye Qing, and they exchanged a few words.
Ye Qing had his eye on three items here, two of which were brought by Nascent Soul Cultivators from his province. Since he was in a hurry to leave, he asked Zhang Pankong to help negotiate, to see if the transactions could be completed tonight.
"The items I want are available from the Mysterious Fire Sect of the Southern State, but I’m not sure if Master Yuan Huo would be interested in mine."
Chen Mobai also shared his findings of the day, noting that it was indeed worthy of being the largest trade fair in the East Continent, where simply hanging a sign would attract people.
"If negotiations don’t go through, you can have Zhang Pankong step in; the face of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace is quite influential."
Ye Qing suggested, indicating that on the Southern State, Taixu MiaoMiao Palace is also a Holy Land. Although Zhang Pankong is the Primordial Void Dao Child of the East Continent, he still holds the title of Dao Child from Taixu.
Chen Mobai nodded gently. At this time, they encountered Qi Jiannu, who was also strolling around. After greeting them, he immediately went to Qing Nu’s side.
"Fellow Daoist Danxia, our Dao Morale Sect holds a marginally renowned position in the East Continent’s alchemy industry. Right at the start of the trade fair, many people listed their precious medicinal materials and spirit plants with us. I heard you were planning to refine some high-grade elixirs last night. Would you like to take a look and see if anything suits you?"
Qi Jiannu’s words made Qing Nu’s eyes light up. Although the Five Elements Sect is vast and rich, and she possessed the largest number of medicine fields on the Eastern Continent Frontier, high-grade medicinal materials take thousands of years to form and refine into elixirs. Such materials are available only in the medicine fields of long-standing major sects.
In the Eastern Wilderness, encountering a Wanghe Sect is already exceptionally fortunate.
This is precisely why the output of high-grade elixirs from Danxia Pavilion is restricted. Even if Sect Leader Chen Mobai needs a Pure Yang Condensation Pill, it would take many years to collect all the ingredients for one batch.
If she could acquire the medicinal list from Dao Morale Sect, Qing Nu might be able to collect all the main ingredients for the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine.
"Then you should go with Fellow Daoist Qi and take a look, just as I’ll continue strolling around with Fellow Daoist Ye."
Seeing the look from Qing Nu, Chen Mobai nodded. The place was safe enough not to worry about, and even if a Divinity Transformation cultivator were to act, they could still hold off somewhat. Moreover, with the Saintess of Dao Morale Sect accompanying them, Chen Mobai didn’t believe anyone in the East Continent would dare to lay hands on Qi Jiannu.
After the two women left, Chen Mobai and Ye Qing found themselves in front of a stone platform with no one at it.
"Esteemed guests, would you like to take a look? This is Star Stone from the North Continent..."
Behind the stone platform stood a young boy, smiling with narrowed eyes, appearing as a Golden Core Cultivator, seemingly about thirteen or fourteen years old. On his stone platform lay several blocks of jet-black stones, each emitting tiny flashes of silver light.
Chen Mobai had also heard of this Star Stone, said to allow Qi Practitioners holding it to fly through the air. When integrated into a Flying Sword, it considerably reduces weight and increases speed.
Due to these characteristics, Star Stone in the Tianhe Realm is an excellent material for refining Flying Boats.
"Esteemed Daoist, are you from the Star Temple?"
Chen Mobai politely asked the young boy. The Star Stone mine veins were only present in the North Continent, occupied by the colossal Holy Land of the Star Temple.
"No, I’m from the Mysterious Yin Cult. These were all taken by my Master after he killed someone from the Star Temple."
The young boy, smiling with narrowed eyes, shook his head, saying something that made Ye Qing frown slightly.
