282: Chapter 282 Perfect Repair

After scanning the area, Qin Changsheng shook his head slightly.

These treasures were all ordinary, and they couldn't catch Qin Changsheng's eye at all.

Qin Changsheng controlled Hu Nan to slowly stand up and walk over to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked at Hu Nan, who was standing in front of him, and frowned slightly.

Hu Nan didn't engage in unnecessary pleasantries and spoke directly: "Senior Brother Lin, I have recently been studying talisman making and happen to need some damaged jade talismans to research their rune structures. Could you sell me this Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman of yours?"

Upon hearing Hu Nan's words, Lin Hao showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

He had a grudge against Hu Nan; if this Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman were intact, he would never have sold it to Hu Nan.

But now, this jade talisman was long since severely damaged, pitch black, and had lost all its Spiritual Qi, appearing just like a piece of waste rock. To him, it was useless and just taking up space, so selling it to Hu Nan in exchange for some Spirit Stones was a way to make the best use of it.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao held up one finger: "One hundred Spirit Stones. Take it or leave it, no bargaining."

He had assumed that Hu Nan might haggle, as this was just a damaged, useless jade talisman that wasn't worth one hundred Spirit Stones at all.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Hu Nan directly took out one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones that were emitting a white light from his Storage Pouch and gently placed them on the table in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao was slightly stunned, evidently not expecting Hu Nan to be so straightforward.

"Take it." After coming back to his senses, Lin Hao tossed the Fourth-Grade jade talisman to Hu Nan.

Hu Nan took the jade talisman and turned back to his seat.

Jiang Lijuan, who was nearby, looked at Hu Nan with some confusion, completely unable to understand why Hu Nan would buy a broken jade talisman.

Heavenly Sword Sect, inside the small courtyard.

Qin Changsheng waved his hand gently, and a pitch-black jade talisman appeared in his hand.

This jade talisman was the Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman that Hu Nan had bought from Lin Hao.

The jade talisman was pitch black, its surface covered with crisscrossing cracks. It felt cold and dry to the touch and had absolutely no Spiritual Qi fluctuations, looking no different from a piece of waste rock. Yet, in Qin Changsheng's eyes, this was the key item for his assault on the Golden Core Realm.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath and activated the Golden Trait [Repair].

Almost simultaneously, a translucent attribute panel appeared out of thin air before Qin Changsheng's eyes, clearly displaying the relevant information for repairing the jade talisman on the panel.

[Repair Target: Damaged Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman] [Repair Option 1: Single Repair (Restores basic power), Spirit Stone consumption: 1,000]

[Repair Option 2: Perfect Repair (Restores to Peak condition, slightly increases power), Spirit Stone consumption: 500,000].

Qin Changsheng's gaze swept over the two options on the attribute panel, and he looked directly at Perfect Repair.

Although Single Repair only required 1,000 Spirit Stones, it could only restore the jade talisman's basic defensive functions and could not unleash its Peak power.

Perfect Repair, although requiring the consumption of 500,000 Spirit Stones, could restore the jade talisman to its Peak state and even slightly increase its defensive power, which would be a tremendous help for him in assaulting the Golden Core Realm and resisting the risks during the Breakthrough.

Moreover, although he was not wealthy enough to rival a nation, he did have quite a few Spirit Stones.

To ensure nothing went wrong when assaulting the Golden Core Realm, these 500,000 Spirit Stones were well worth spending.

"Select Perfect Repair!" Qin Changsheng said in his heart with a deep voice, without the slightest hesitation.

The moment his voice fell, the "Perfect Repair" option on the attribute panel lit up instantly. A more majestic golden Repair force erupted from within his body, completely enveloping the damaged jade talisman in his hand.

Qin Changsheng was highly focused. While activating the power of the [Repair] trait, he guided the 500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch, transforming them into a pure torrent of Spiritual Qi that continuously merged into the Repair force, nourishing the damaged jade talisman.

With the continuous injection of Spiritual Qi and the Repair force, the pitch-black jade talisman in his hand gradually underwent an astonishing transformation.

The originally cracked, pitch-black surface healed slowly at a Speed visible to the naked eye. The black color gradually faded, replaced by a lustrous, translucent pale cyan. The runes on the surface of the jade talisman, which were originally broken and blurry, now gradually became clear, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Qin Changsheng could clearly feel the jade talisman's aura constantly rising. From initially having no Spiritual Qi, it gradually became full and majestic, finally stabilizing at the Peak state of a Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman, even faintly possessing a trace of an aura that surpassed the Fourth Grade.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the jade talisman in his hand, a flash of joy and brilliance in his eyes.

At this moment, that damaged jade talisman had completely transformed.

Its entire body was lustrous and translucent, the pale cyan jade emitting a soft spiritual light. The runes on its surface were clearly visible and flowed ceaselessly. A steady and majestic defensive force lingered within it. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, full of Spiritual Qi, and had perfectly restored to its Peak condition, even slightly stronger than when it was originally intact.

Qin Changsheng gently raised his hand, holding the jade talisman in his palm, and felt the majestic defensive force contained within it, a flash of joy appearing in his eyes.

"With this Peak-condition Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman, the final obstacle to my assault on the Golden Core Realm has been completely cleared!"

He carefully placed the perfectly repaired Fourth-Grade Defensive Jade Talisman into his Storage Pouch. His Materials for before Core Formation had already been prepared.

Now, he only needed to raise his proficiency to Perfection and then refine a Golden Core, and he could enter seclusion to Breakthrough.

Flowing Fire Sect.

Inside Liuhuo Hall.

Shen Guhong sat upright on the main seat of the hall, his gaze sharp as a knife, slowly sweeping over the people standing below.

On both sides below, dozens of figures were lined up.

Shen Bing and Wang Cheng stood bowed at the very front, their expressions respectful, not daring to even breathe loudly, waiting for Shen Guhong's instructions.

"Everyone, I have summoned you here today because there is a major matter I need to instruct you to do," Shen Guhong said.

"Please instruct us, Sect Head!" everyone said one after another.

Shen Guhong's gaze swept over the crowd again, and he slowly said: "Not long ago, a mole sent news that the Xuandan Sect recently has a batch of important supplies to be transported to the Azure Cloud Sect. The most critical item among them is an Earth-Grade Low Grade Pill Furnace."

This one sentence made the Yao Race experts below show expressions of surprise and begin to discuss in low voices.

Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts were already scarce, let alone a Pill Furnace specifically used for Alchemy; its value was self-evident.

Shen Guhong spoke again: "Although this Earth-Grade Low Grade Pill Furnace is only Low Grade Earth-Grade, it has a formidable effect!"

"It can increase the success rate of Alchemy by twenty percent."

Upon hearing this, many Yao Race experts below became excited.

Within their Yao Race, there were many Alchemists.

However, the success rate of those Alchemists was not very high.

If they could obtain this Earth-Grade Magical Artifact Pill Furnace, the success rate of their Yao Race Alchemists would be greatly improved.

Their Yao Race would also be able to obtain a continuous supply of Medicinal Pills.

Their Yao Race juniors would be able to grow rapidly.

"This Earth-Grade Low Grade Pill Furnace is of vital importance to our race. I have decided to seize this Pill Furnace and hand it over to our race's Alchemist Great Master to use, helping our race improve its strength and establish a firm foothold in the Southern Region sooner," Shen Guhong said.

"We are willing to follow the Sect Master's orders!" many Yao Race experts said one after another.

They were full of confidence about seizing the Pill Furnace.

Those summoned this time were all top experts of the Yao Race; dealing with the Xuandan Sect's transport team would be more than enough.

Shen Guhong raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then his gaze landed on a Golden Core Yao Race member: "Gou Feng, you will be responsible for this time!"

"Rest assured, Sect Head, your subordinate will definitely bring back the Earth-Grade Low Grade Pill Furnace!" Gou Feng stepped forward and said.

Shen Guhong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Yao Race experts below again, his tone cold: "This operation is of great importance. No one is allowed to act without authorization or leak the news. If there are any mistakes, I will definitely execute you without mercy!"
