98: Chapter 98 How about I make you a milk bag?
Aside from this Jade Slip, there was nothing else on the stall that interested Su Mo.
A moment later, Su Dashan's steps stopped in front of a shop named "Tianyuan Pavilion".
"Xiao Mo, this is the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's shop in this market. It has a wide variety of goods, and most Cultivators come here to sell and buy resources."
With that, the three of them stepped over the threshold of Tianyuan Pavilion.
Inside Tianyuan Pavilion were several counters, and many Cultivators were queuing in front of them, waiting to exchange their resources for Spirit Stones.
"Xiao Mo, I'll go queue first. You two can look around on the first floor. I'll call you when it's our turn."
After Su Dashan went to queue, Su Datie pulled Su Mo around the first floor.
The first floor of Tianyuan Pavilion was divided into several areas: Spiritual Materials, Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, Talismans, Cultivation Techniques, and even Spirit Beast cubs. It was truly dazzling, but all of them were first-tier.
"Meteorite Iron? I'll take a hundred catties!"
"Azure Gold Stone? I'll take a hundred catties!"
...For Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, Su Mo casually picked a copy of the "Basic Body Refining Art" that used Spiritual Qi to temper the physique. It was time-consuming and laborious to Cultivate.
But Su Mo only regarded this Cultivation Technique as the basis for analysis and deduction.
"Xiao Mo, with so many things, we don't have enough Spirit Stones."
Su Datie hesitantly looked at his Storage Pouch. The items Su Mo had chosen were roughly estimated to be worth several thousand Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones in his Storage Pouch amounted to just over fifty, and even if Su Dashan sold the printed Talismans, it would only be a few hundred Spirit Stones at most.
Hearing this, Su Mo smiled slightly:
"It'll be enough soon."
Just then, Su Dashan's voice came, as he had already reached the front of the line.
"Xiao Mo! Third Brother! Come here quickly!"
Su Dashan's voice carried an uncontrollable excitement and tremor.
Seeing this, Su Datie no longer cared about the Spirit Stones and quickly pulled Su Mo to squeeze over.
"Big Brother, how was it? How much did the Talismans sell for?"
Su Datie asked in an urgent whisper.
"Thirty Blasting Flame Talismans, Steward Li said their quality was extremely high, close to Foundation Establishment power!"
He swallowed.
"An ordinary first-tier High Grade Talisman is five Low-Grade Spirit Stones, but he gave six Low-Grade Spirit Stones per Talisman!"
"They sold for a total of one hundred eighty Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"One hundred eighty!"
Su Datie almost exclaimed aloud.
Thirty sets of first-tier Talisman paper and spiritual ink were worth thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Su Mo's Talisman printer had actually increased this value by six times, and with a hundred percent success rate!
This profit was terrifying! It was practically printing Spirit Stones!
"Oh, right."
Su Datie suddenly remembered that he had also refined two Magical Artifacts and needed to sell them to buy more Talisman paper.
"Two Low Grade Magical Artifact Flying Swords, fifty Spirit Stones each, for a total of one hundred Spirit Stones."
Su Datie felt a bit pained.
"I've been refining Magical Artifacts for a year, and I haven't even made back the cost."
Hearing this, Su Mo's gaze swept over the two Flying Swords, a gleam flashing in his eyes. He instantly analyzed their Materials and the crude spiritual energy conduction structure within them.
With a slight curve of his lips, he said to Su Datie in a relaxed tone:
"Third Uncle, when we go back, I'll help you take a good look at that Artifact Refining furnace. Maybe next time, you'll make a profit."
"For now, let me sell these things."
Su Datie was stunned:
"Xiao Mo, what are you going to sell..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Mo had already placed a dozen Magical Artifact Flying Swords on the table.
"These... these are all High Grade Magical Artifacts!"
Steward Li was somewhat surprised.
The spiritual energy circuits on these High Grade Magical Artifacts were extremely perfect. From his many years of experience in appraising treasures, they clearly came from the hands of a grandmaster of Artifact Refining.
He looked at the sword hilt:
"No signature?"
Steward Li suddenly looked up:
"Little friend, where did you obtain these High Grade Magical Artifacts?"
These High Grade Magical Artifacts were all refined by Su Mo when he was practicing Artifact Refining; the final product was his light sword.
Su Mo's expression was calm:
"Just casual practice, not worth mentioning."
The shock on Steward Li's face instantly froze, then turned into an expression of disbelief.
"Casual practice?!"
"Little friend, don't joke! Such flawless spiritual energy circuits and techniques that can maximize the properties of Materials are something even those who have immersed themselves in Artifact Refining for decades may not achieve. You..."
He scrutinized Su Mo from head to toe. This was clearly an underage child.
"Are you looking down on me? Do you want to clear a spot, and I'll refine one for you on the spot?"
Facing Steward Li's gaffe, Su Mo remained calm and composed.
After a moment of contemplation, Steward Li cupped his hands and ran upstairs.
"Little friend, please wait."
Su Datie whispered in Su Mo's ear:
"I said the spiritual Materials were being used up so quickly this year, so it turns out you were the one refining them..."
"Hiss—"
Su Dashan pinched and tugged at a nipple, saying in a tone of disappointment:
"If I don't let Xiao Mo refine them, are you going to waste them instead!"
"Hiss—Big Brother, let go, let go! I was just kidding!"
Su Datie grimaced in pain and quickly begged for mercy.
Only then did Su Dashan release his hand, disdainfully wiping his fingers on Su Datie's muscular chest:
"At least you have some self-awareness! Moer being able to refine such treasures from those Materials is making the best use of them! If it were you, I'm afraid they'd all turn into lumps of iron!"
Su Datie rubbed his reddened nipple, looking aggrieved.
Seeing this, Su Mo couldn't help but ask the question he had always wanted to:
"Third Uncle, why don't you wear your clothes properly?"
Hearing this, Su Datie was stunned for a moment:
"This is a long story. When I first started learning Artifact Refining, your grandfather said that if I covered myself completely, it was because I was afraid of getting burned, and that I had no masculinity at all, so..."
"Alright, I understand."
Su Mo interrupted.
"Third Uncle, how about I refine a bra for you?"
Su Datie was bewildered by the sudden mention of a "bra," and his rugged face instantly flushed crimson.
"A b-bra what?!"
He stammered, instinctively covering his chest.
"I, I'm a big man, what kind of talk is that for wearing such a thing! No, no!"
...Steward Li quickly returned, followed by a young woman of about sixteen or seventeen. Judging by Steward Li's respectful demeanor, this woman's status seemed very high.
The woman wore a water-blue flowing cloud Magical Robe, with a graceful figure, a cold and ethereal temperament, and extremely beautiful features. Her skin was like snow, and every movement exuded an undeniable nobility.
"Is this Fellow Daoist the grandmaster who refined these High Grade Magical Artifacts?"
Her gaze rested on Su Mo, her red lips slightly parted as she smiled faintly:
"My name is Tianyue, and I am the Vice Pavilion Master here."
Su Mo nodded slightly, displaying a composure far beyond his years.
"Indeed."
Su Mo's simple answer deepened the admiration in Tianyue's eyes. She praised softly:
"For a Fellow Daoist of such a young age, your Artifact Refining technique has already reached Transcendent realm. You are truly a heaven-sent genius."
"I wonder if you are interested in joining my Tianyuan Merchant Guild?"
"Our merchant guild is eager for talent. With Fellow Daoist's ability, you will surely receive the best resources and personal guidance from Elders, and your path in Artifact Refining will undoubtedly go further!"
Her words were tactful, but her intention to recruit was clear.
Seeing this, Su Datie's excited chest muscles trembled slightly, wishing he could agree on behalf of Su Mo!
The Tianyuan Merchant Guild! That was a colossal entity with countless resources. If his nephew joined, wouldn't he soar to great heights!
While Su Dashan was excited, a faint, almost imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.
However, Su Mo merely shook his head, his tone calm:
"Vice Pavilion Master, I appreciate your kindness, but I prefer freedom and dislike restrictions. Let's just forget about this matter."
Tianyue was immediately somewhat disappointed, though her smile remained graceful:
"Since that is the case, I will not force it."
She changed the subject:
"However, if Fellow Daoist has any more works in the future, please do consider us first. Our Tianyuan Merchant Guild is willing to acquire and supply at the most favorable prices."
"Understood."
