139: Chapter Top Grade Magical Instrument

"Okay, then allow me to recommend a few top-grade artifacts for you," Chen Yinbao said, taking everything upon himself. As the third shopkeeper of Chen's Treasure Pavilion, he was intimately familiar with the treasures within the building.

Chen Yinbao turned his head and said to Jian Zhen, "Jian Zhen, go fetch the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword, Sky Shuttle Armor, as well as the Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover, and Shattered Gold Divine Mechanism Umbrella."

Jian Zhen's face showed a look of shock upon hearing this. He knew very well that these treasures were not ordinary top-grade artifacts; each one was a treasure that suppressed the pavilion within Chen's Treasure Pavilion, the best among top-grade artifacts.

He hadn't expected that Uncle-Grandfather Yinbao would actually bring out these treasures for Chen Jiancang to choose from. One should know that previously when a Core Disciple came seeking a top-grade artifact, only one was taken out for him to consider.

Although the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword is a First Order top-grade artifact, its power is even comparable to some ordinary Second Order artifacts, and it consumes less spiritual stone. Rather than classifying it as a First Order top-grade artifact, it would be more appropriate to define it as a Second Order artifact.

One should know that Second Order artifacts are mainly used by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and consume a vast amount of spiritual stone. If used by Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, their spiritual stone would be exhausted in no time. However, the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword is different; its power is comparable to a Second Order artifact, but it consumes less spiritual stone, truly living up to the evaluation of being a top-grade item among top-grades.

Jian Zhen quickly left and returned to the private room with many treasures shortly after.

Chen Yinbao placed the many top-grade artifacts in front of Chen Jiancang and introduced them with a smile, "Chen Jiancang, take a look at this top-grade spiritual sword, how is it?"

Chen Jiancang looked at the bamboo longsword with purple patterns. The sword body was filled with purple qi, and the blade shimmered with cold light. His hand involuntarily stroked the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword.

Threads of pure wood attribute Sword Qi passed through the hilt, connecting with Chen Jiancang's Yi Wood Eternal Spring Technique's wood attribute spiritual stone. Chen Jiancang could feel that this spiritual sword seemed to be tailor-made for him. Even without activating spiritual stone, he had a sense of compatibility with the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword.

Chen Jiancang held the hilt, gripping the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword tightly in his palm. He casually performed a sword flourish, executing the starting stance of the Azure Profound Sword Technique. Chen Jiancang felt that he hadn't even exerted force yet, but the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword was already about to roar out, unleashing Sword Qi.

"Good sword, good sword," Chen Jiancang couldn't help but praise. Compared to it, the First Order mid-grade artifact longsword previously gifted to him by Chen Yingong was like a child's toy, completely unsuitable for use. He had even treated that spiritual sword as a treasure.

Chen Yinbao looked at Chen Jiancang's very satisfied expression, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued to pick up the second treasure to introduce.

"Jiancang, take a look at the second treasure. This armor is called the Sky Shuttle Armor. Its material is refined from the carapaces of the unique spiritual beast, the Sky Shuttle Crab, raised by the Hanhai Li Family. It has a shock-rebounding effect and can reduce the power of a full-force blow from a Qi Refining ninth-layer Cultivator by 60%, while rebounding 40% of the force back to the attacker. It is definitely a top-grade defensive artifact."

Chen Jiancang put down the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword and picked up the Sky Shuttle Armor to examine it carefully.

The Hanhai Li Family, Chen Jiancang had learned about it in the "Local Chronicles" in the Chen Family's library. Like the Chen Family, they were also a Golden Core Family. Different from the Chen Family, the Hanhai Li Family lived on an island in a vast sea and were famous for raising aquatic spiritual beasts.

The Han Sea is neither far nor near the Qingya Mountain Range; the two places are separated by tens of thousands of miles. If one traveled day and night without encountering obstacles along the way, it would take over a month to reach.

The Chen Family's merchant caravans travel to the Han Sea every month with specialties from the Qingya Mountain Range to trade with the Li Family, so it is not surprising that the Sky Shuttle Armor could appear in the Qingya Mountain Range.

The Sky Shuttle Armor can rebound 40% of attacks and defend against 60% of attacks. This is definitely a rare defensive artifact. Chen Jiancang was somewhat tempted at first sight of this armor. Although this armor did not look beautiful, its fierce shape had a unique style.

"I want both the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword and this Sky Shuttle Armor. Please, Uncle-Grandfather, continue to introduce the next treasure to me," Chen Jiancang said without hesitation, directly deciding on these two treasures.

This greatly surprised Chen Yinbao, who had originally thought Chen Jiancang could only afford one of them. After all, these high-quality top-grade artifacts were quite expensive. For example, the Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword was priced at 3500 spiritual stone, and the Sky Shuttle Armor was even more expensive, at least 4500 spiritual stone. Chen Yinbao had originally planned to offer a slight discount to do Chen Jiancang a favor, but since Chen Jiancang wanted both, even with his authority, he couldn't offer much of a discount.

More importantly, it was one thing for Chen Jiancang to reserve two high-quality artifacts, but he was also interested in the remaining two artifacts. Even Chen Yinbao couldn't help but sigh at Chen Jiancang's abundant financial resources.

"Alright, these two top-grade artifacts are not attack or defense artifacts, but special artifacts with unique functions. Let's talk about this Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover. It is a treasure that can conceal one's figure. When activated, it can effectively conceal one's figure and prevent others from probing. If one remains still, it can also release clouds and mist, simulating the surrounding scenery and merging with the environment. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage Completion Cultivator would not discover the situation within without careful probing."

"And this Shattered Gold Divine Mechanism Umbrella is a treasure that can conceal heavenly secrets and block Qi Observation techniques. There are all sorts of wonders in the cultivation world. There are some Qi Observation techniques that can see through a person's destiny and existence traces, inferring some potential or possible events. The function of this Shattered Gold Divine Mechanism Umbrella is to prevent being observed by others and exposing one's destiny."

Regarding these two top-grade artifacts, Chen Jiancang was only interested in the Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover. As for the useless function of the Shattered Gold Divine Mechanism Umbrella, Chen Jiancang did not feel it was of any use. Cultivation Techniques or inheritances involving heavenly secrets in the cultivation world are already few and far between. He is currently just a small fry at the Qi Refining ninth layer; who would have nothing better to do than observe his destiny lines?

As for the Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover, he could buy it. Even if he doesn't use it himself, he can pass it on to his descendants as a life-saving trump card.

Chen Jiancang thought for a moment and said directly, "Uncle-Grandfather, I also want this Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover. Please calculate the price for me together."

Chen Yinbao said with a smile, "Azure Bamboo Cloud Sword is 3500 spiritual stone, Sky Shuttle Armor is 4500 spiritual stone, and Misty Cloud Righteous Aura Cover is 3000 spiritual stone. Jiancang, this is your first time coming to the main branch's Treasure Pavilion, so Uncle-Grandfather will give you a 10% discount. The total is 9900 spiritual stone."

Chen Jiancang did not hesitate and took out 9900 spiritual stone from his storage bag and handed them to Chen Yinbao.

Fortunately, he had been frantically refining pills and making talismans in the past few months, earning a considerable income, otherwise, he might not have been able to afford these spiritual stone.
