15: Three Yang and Yin Needle

The two came upstairs and took their seats. The old man chuckled and introduced himself:

"I am Xiang Ziwu. May I ask Young Friend what your name is?"

Lin Feng cupped his fists slightly and replied, "Senior, I am Lin Feng. I came to the Treasure Artifact Pavilion today because I wanted to purchase a satisfactory Magical Artifact. Please forgive me for any offense."

Shopkeeper Xiang heard Lin Feng's intention and did not mind Lin Feng's previous conflict with the shop assistant. Instead, he began to praise the Treasure Artifact Pavilion:

"It gives my Treasure Artifact Pavilion Face that Young Friend Lin would come to my Treasure Artifact Pavilion to purchase a Magical Artifact. My Treasure Artifact Pavilion has always been praised by the Sect Disciples for selling Treasure Artifacts within the Sect. May I ask what requirements Young Friend has for a Magical Artifact? I can then help Young Friend find one!"

After some thought, Lin Feng realized he had never used a Magical Artifact before, so he couldn't really specify his requirements. However, he still had two hundred and ten Spirit Stones left in his Storage Pouch. He decided to state a price to let the shopkeeper help him search:

"Senior, please bear with me. I don't have a particular Magical Artifact in mind, but I only have two hundred Spirit Stones. Senior, please find something within this price range."

Shopkeeper Xiang nodded upon hearing Lin Feng's words, then instructed his subordinate to bring out three Magical Artifacts and introduced them one by one.

Shopkeeper Xiang introduced them to Lin Feng one by one:

"Young Friend Lin, please look. These three Magical Artifacts are all high-tier Magical Artifacts: the Blazing Fire Sword, the Profound Iron Shield, and the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles."

Lin Feng looked at the three Magical Artifacts placed before him, observing each one, then asked Shopkeeper Xiang:

"Senior, could you please introduce these three Magical Artifacts to Junior? Junior would like to make a decision based on the information."

Shopkeeper Xiang stood up and first introduced the Blazing Fire Sword.

"This Blazing Fire Sword has a crimson blade with faint fiery patterns flowing on it. Once Spiritual Energy is injected, it can unleash scorching flames with immense power. It is suitable for Cultivators with fire-attribute Spiritual Roots, boasts strong offensive capabilities, and is an outstanding high-tier Magical Artifact."

Lin Feng nodded, his gaze shifting to the Profound Iron Shield. The shield's surface was as smooth as a mirror, emitting a faint cold gleam, seemingly capable of deflecting all attacks.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Xiang continued to introduce, "This Profound Iron Shield is crafted from precious profound iron, making it incredibly sturdy. It can withstand most Spell and Magic Treasure attacks, possessing astonishing defensive power. For Cultivators who prioritize safety or support roles, it is an invaluable treasure."

Finally, Shopkeeper Xiang picked up the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles. The needles were slender, and their tips shimmered with a golden light, seemingly imbued with some mysterious Divine Power.

He slowly said, "These Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles are forged by combining the power of Three Yangs and auxiliary yin-poisonous Materials. Once unleashed, their speed is not only incredibly swift, but they are also extremely potent and carry a powerful toxicity. Not only can they attack due to their minute size, but they can also be used as hidden weapons, making them versatile and extremely rare."

Lin Feng nodded. After looking over the three Magical Artifacts, he finally settled on the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles. This item would be an excellent Magical Artifact for ambushing people, and it also carried powerful toxicity, allowing for unexpected attacks during conflicts.

As for the first two, Lin Feng also liked them, but he lacked Spirit Stones. Lin Feng looked at the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, then at the shopkeeper in front of him, and asked about the price.

"Senior, how much are these Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles being sold for?"

Shopkeeper Xiang smiled slightly and said, "These Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, due to their rare crafting Materials and complex craftsmanship, naturally command a high price. However, considering Young Friend Lin's connection with my Treasure Artifact Pavilion, I will give you a genuine price after a 30% discount: three hundred Spirit Stones."

Lin Feng's heart tightened upon hearing this. He only had two hundred and ten Spirit Stones, a significant difference. He looked troubled and hesitated, "Senior, Junior does not have enough Spirit Stones. I wonder if I could trade items, or if Senior could make an exception?"

Shopkeeper Xiang pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing his options. After a while, he said, "Young Friend Lin, I see you are a straightforward person. How about this: your two hundred and ten Spirit Stones will serve as a deposit, and you can pay the remaining ninety Spirit Stones within one month. If you are still unable to pay after one month, I will have no choice but to find another buyer for these Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles."

Lin Feng was overjoyed to hear this. He quickly nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your generosity, Senior. Junior will definitely pay the remaining Spirit Stones within one month." Shopkeeper Xiang nodded with satisfaction, handed the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles to Lin Feng, and instructed, "Young Friend Lin, this Magical Artifact is very powerful, so please use it carefully. Also, don't forget to come back and pay the Spirit Stones in a month."

Lin Feng took the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, examined them carefully, and rejoiced inwardly. He cupped his fists again to thank Shopkeeper Xiang, then turned and left the Treasure Artifact Pavilion.

Lin Feng only had about five or six days left before he had to leave, so he naturally wouldn't wait a month. Therefore, Lin Feng planned to stay indoors for the next few days and frantically craft Talismans.

Lin Feng did not rush to refine the Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles. Instead, as soon as he returned to his residence, he locked himself in his room and began to frantically craft Talismans. For five days, Lin Feng only rested for half a day. If it weren't for the fact that Talismans crafting consumed a lot of Mental Energy, Lin Feng wouldn't have even planned to rest for half a day.

Finally, after more than five days of crafting, he successfully crafted over four hundred Talismans. At this point, Lin Feng's Mental Energy was somewhat depleted from Talismans crafting, his Face was pale, and even his steps were a bit unsteady.

However, Lin Feng couldn't rest because he was leaving the Sect tomorrow. He had already discussed it with Xiong Hu and the other two, and Lin Feng didn't want any problems to arise because of this. He forced himself to sell the Talismans he had to the Sect's Talisman shop, earning one hundred Spirit Stones.

Lin Feng took the Spirit Stones and came to the Treasure Artifact Pavilion again. He saw the same assistant who had offended him earlier. The assistant's Face flashed with embarrassment when he saw Lin Feng, but he still forced a smile and greeted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng didn't come to the Treasure Artifact Pavilion to reminisce or cause trouble. After returning the ninety Spirit Stones to the Treasure Artifact Pavilion, he used all ten Spirit Stones he had left to buy Talisman paper in Cloud-Soaring Pavilion Square.

After taking care of these matters, Lin Feng returned to his residence and collapsed into bed, sleeping until early the next morning when he was woken up by Xiong Hu and the other two. Only then did Lin Feng get up, quickly pack with the three of them, and prepare to head to the Sect's mountain gate to meet with Martial Uncle Ye.

When the three of them came to the Sect, they didn't have much with them, so they just brought some clothes and set off for the mountain gate. As soon as Lin Feng and the other two arrived at the Sect's mountain gate, they saw Martial Uncle Ye, accompanied by several Outer Sect Disciples, already waiting for them.

The three quickly followed. Lin Feng approached Martial Uncle Ye, looking a little embarrassed, "Junior Martial Uncle, please forgive me for being a little late and making Junior Martial Uncle wait."

Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand and told Lin Feng, "It's fine, I just arrived too. The people in front of you are a few Senior Brothers from the Outer Sect. I'll introduce them to you when we set off. Take these four tokens. These are the Outer Sect Disciple tokens I got for you at the Sect's Affairs Hall. Take them."

As he spoke, he tossed four tokens into Lin Feng's hand. At the same time, he patted the Storage Pouch at his waist, and a delicate flying boat the size of a palm grew larger in the wind, appearing before everyone.
