Chapter 114: Trade and Demands
r evening prayers."Yes, Master.>Qin Sang followed Ming Yue out. Seeing the disappointment on Ming Yue's face, he learned that Shi Xin Dao Ren went up the mountain to collect herbs every month. This ti...Qin Sang nodded thoughtfully and said after a moment, "I can sell it to you. The price will be set according to your usual rules, but I need some things, and I'll entrust you to help me collect them. You must do your best."

It is said that the black market auction in this place only takes place once a month, and with so many magic artifacts he possesses, he might not be able to sell them all even if he participates in one auction. He was unwilling to risk any trace of exposure, after all, Yin Xingge had a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator backing him.
Besides, Qin Sang wanted to go to the Heavenly Crystal Secret Realm as soon as possible, so he might as well sell it all together.
For him, time is the most precious thing. He can accept some losses because they are all things that come easily and without effort.
The old man's face was filled with confidence. "Please tell me, friend," he said, "as long as it isn't too rare an item, this old one can get it for you. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can afford spirit stones."

Qin Sang stared intently at the man's face, his voice raspy and low, "I need a batch of soul-refining magic weapons. I wonder if your shop has a source"
In the Qianyanyang Quartz Cave, Qin Sang discovered that the Ten Directions Hell Banner could devour other magic artifacts. He then had a thought about it.
After leaving Yuankong Town, Qin Sang let the Shifang Yanluo Banner devour all the evil spirits in his wristbands. Although he gained a noticeable boost, he was still far from completing the Six Rods Shifang Yanluo Banner.
Unfortunately, when they escaped the mine, although they killed many humanoid cloud beasts and obtained some magical artifacts, they didn't find a second soul-refining type magic weapon. They could only figure out a way on their own.
The Ten Directions Yama Banner was one of his most relied-upon methods. Qin Sang had a premonition that once all six poles of the Ten Directions Yama Banner were raised to their peak, the power unleashed after formation would surpass even the Jade Ruyi Talisman, making it incredibly significant to him.
You should know that the Ten Directions Yama Banner won't lose its power even if it's used many times, and can be used without restraint. Moreover, after being arranged into a formation, both its range and practicality surpass talismans and treasures.
Then, if he could set up the Ten Directions Yama Array in advance, Qin Sang would, even facing a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, stand a chance.
As expected of a magic treasure born from the original soul treasure of the Primordial Infant Ancestor.
If all ten rods of the Yama King's Banner were gathered and a complete Ten Directions Yama Array was set up, its power would undoubtedly increase significantly, possibly reaching two or even three times the level of a talisman.
During the foundation-building period, cultivators cannot use magic treasures. Qin Sang can fully utilize the Ten Directions Yama Formation to make up for the gap in cultivation level compared to others.
After much deliberation, Qin Sang made a decision. He would temporarily allow the Wumu Sword to yield to the Shifang Yan Luo Banner. His resources were limited, and he could only focus on enhancing one magical artifact at a time.
Collecting spiritwood to upgrade the Ebony Sword is expensive, but it's rarely an immediate game-changer. The most important goal is to ensure it doesn't become a bottleneck in your cultivation.
Now it seems that even if the Wumu sword can withstand a second killing talisman, it won't be far off. Besides, it will take a long time to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, so there's no need to rush.
As he enhances the Ten Directions Yama Banner, his power will also increase. It might even become easier to gather spiritual wood.
Of course, gathering all ten poles of the Ten Directions Yama Banner is not so simple. It's too early to say anything now.
Because of the presence of the heart-eating worm, Qin Sang dared not set foot on the territory of the demonic cultivators for a short time. He could only rely on others to collect magic weapons.
He had already made plans to cultivate in the Tianjing Secret Realm for a period of time, improving his cultivation level so that he could stand firm on the Ancient Immortal Battlefield. Afterwards, he would cultivate while investigating the whereabouts of those surviving disciples from the Kuiyin Sect.
Everything that has advantages also has disadvantages. While heartworm is indeed a sword hanging over our heads, it's not necessarily all bad; it could also be bait for fishing!
Upon hearing Qin Sang's strange request, the old man Cang’s face indeed showed an expression of extreme astonishment. He looked at Qin Sang with extraordinary surprise, "Are you interested in demonic artifacts"
"Are you trying to find out about my background"
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "I heard that your shop abides by the rules and has a stellar reputation. Now it seems...perhaps the name does not match the reality."
The old man's face changed drastically, and he explained hastily, "Friend Daoist, don't be offended. I was just startled for a moment and spoke carelessly. I didn't mean to inquire about your origins..."
Seeing Qin Sang retract his gaze and no longer be aggressive, the old man's face finally relaxed. After a moment of pondering, he said with some difficulty, "The item you need, even in the territory east of Yinshan Pass, is not easy to find. Top-grade soul refining magic weapons are extremely difficult to refine, very rare, and powerful. They are highly sought after even in the demon cultivator realm, rarely found outside. Besides, this is Xankuai Pass, and it's very difficult for me to fulfill your request..."
Qin Sang chuckled and said, "I believe that with your shop's capabilities, you definitely won't disappoint me. Moreover, my requirements can also be relaxed."

“Oh”
The old man's face was full of surprise as he looked at Qin Sang.
“I don’t need perfect magical artifacts, as long as the souls within them, such as evil spirits or demons, are still present. I also want damaged magical artifacts. If there are enough remnant souls within a damaged artifact, I would be willing to trade at the price of a flawless one.”
Qin Sang spoke in a low voice, stating his demands.
His true goal was a damaged artifact, like a broken bracelet.

The righteous and demonic cultivators have always been at odds. After righteous cultivators slay demonic cultivators, a certain number of magical artifacts, such as soul-refining magic weapons, inevitably end up in their hands.
These kinds of magical artifacts are not weak in power. Those who captured intact magical artifacts basically kept them for themselves, just like Qin Sang.
But damaged magic weapons are different. For righteous cultivators, these things are like tasteless bits of chicken; keeping them is useless, discarding them is a pity.
Firstly, it's unreliable in combat. You never know when it might break, and you couldn't sell it for much spirit stone anyway.

Secondly, each type of soul-refining magic weapon has a unique refining method. Only a master refiner with extremely high skill can repair it, which would cost too much.

Qin Sang collecting it himself would be really difficult. Using black market channels would be much simpler. The price of this damaged magic weapon wouldn't be too high, even if the black market stripped a layer off of it, he could accept it.

Upon hearing this, the old man's troubled expression gradually subsided. He let out an "hm" and said, “Daoist friend, your request isn't too harsh, I will do my best to help you find it. Is there anything else Daoist friend needs”
Qin Sang shook his head and said, "There aren't any for the time being, but if we can cooperate happily with your shop, there will be many opportunities in the future. These things... Daoist friend, could you give me an estimate"
Before, Qin Sang only had less than a thousand spirit stones. After purchasing spirit pills, cloud artifacts, and everything else needed for cultivation at Xuankang Pass, he had spent it all. Now that his pouch contained almost three thousand lower-grade spirit stones, Qin Sang finally felt more at ease.
The best few artifacts, Qin Sang kept for himself. He could always sell them later if he needed spirit stones.

Otherwise, the belongings of three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period would sell for more spirit stones.end, take me to Ti XING City that you've praised for so long...""Good."Qin Sang nodded and returned to her cave abode.The manager surnamed Liu had arranged an excellent cave dwelling for him.
