The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 630: Selling the Remains of Ancient Cultivators_1
Shen Mo chose to sell the Dreamy Birth Pill for certain reasons.
On one hand, among the Elixirs of various types in Tianyin Valley, there were very few Elixirs or spiritual items with such an effect. They could often fetch a good price when encountering suitable buyers.
On the other hand, the Elixirs he usually used to restore his Essence and Qi were consumed in great quantities. Besides taking them himself, they were also more convenient as substitutes for Spirit Stones in exchange for other spiritual items.
Moreover, more Alchemists refined this type of Elixir, and trade was frequent. Its value was also relatively fixed, lacking true scarcity.
Shen Mo had consumed many Elixirs, such as the Three Emperors Marrow Pill and Blood Ginseng Red Sun Pill, in the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons. The current batch in his Universe Bag had only recently been refined. In contrast, Elixirs like the Dreamy Death Pill and Madness Heart-devouring Pill had seen little use, leaving a considerable stock in his Universe Bag.
With this in mind, he naturally prioritized selling Elixirs like the Dreamy Death Pill!
"I do not accept trades with Spirit Stones. However, if a fellow daoist has top-grade medicinal materials, precious spirit gold, talisman making materials, etc., feel free to discuss it with me..." Shen Mo thought, similarly conveying his message through Divine Sense.
After fierce haggling, Shen Mo and the inquiring person finally reached a deal.
Immediately, a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator in a blue robe on the opposite mountain beckoned a cloud over, placed a dozen valuable medicinal materials on it, and sent them to Shen Mo.
Shen Mo used his Divine Sense to carefully check the age and quality of the medicinal materials. Seeing that the buyer had not played any tricks, he nodded in satisfaction, waved his sleeves, and sent the cloud bearing the Dreamy Birth Pill to the blue-robed cultivator.
Then, the two successively removed the soul mark on the cloud and took their respective items.
Having familiarized himself with the trading process, Shen Mo slapped his Universe Bag. Bottles of Elixirs flew out and hovered before him, all of them somewhat niche High-Grade Spirit Pills like the Dreamy Death Pill, the Madness Heart-devouring Pill, and the Grade V Poison Avoiding Pill.
He then beckoned several more clouds, placed the Elixirs on them one by one after marking them with soul marks!
These niche High-Grade Spirit Pills were not easy to sell in the immortal market of Wangxian Mountain, even though Shen Mo was acquainted with Lady Scarlet and could use her business establishments to sell his Elixirs.
Those who could afford them had little demand, while those who needed them could not meet the price.
Therefore, most of the Elixirs Shen Mo sold for profit were Grade III and Grade IV recovery-type Elixirs. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
However, to enhance his attainments in the Alchemy Path, he couldn't completely abandon refining Elixirs like the Dreamy Death Pill!
This trade fair was a rare opportunity to meet so many cultivators of the same Realm. They possessed sufficient wealth to purchase High-Grade Spirit Pills. Furthermore, their close relations, such as friends and disciples, might also require such Elixirs. This would inevitably help Shen Mo clear a significant portion of his stock.
One by one, the white clouds drifted away, while Shen Mo continued to chat leisurely with Lady Scarlet over spiritual tea.
At the same time, he kept an eye on other clouds for any spiritual items he might need, while also waiting for customers to inquire about his wares!
After about a day and night, most of Shen Mo's niche Elixirs were sold.
Then, he took out top-notch spiritual items obtained from the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons, including four ancient cultivator's remains, numerous damaged magic treasures, peculiar spirit woods, broken formation cores and array cores, spirit gold contaminated with corpse qi and Filthy Qi, and jade slips suspected of containing ancient cultivator legacies.
Naturally, Shen Mo wouldn't casually sell useful items like ancient monster bones.
The "treasures" he took out were mostly things he couldn't use or didn't value. Keeping them in his Universe Bag was a waste of Prohibition Talismans, serving no useful purpose.
Since the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons was only fifty miles away, spiritual items from the battlefield were common at the trade fair; even Lady Scarlet sold a batch.
However, the appearance of the ancient cultivator's remains still caused quite a stir...
The reason was simple: the quality of these four remains was exceptionally high.
If one possessed a method of corpses refining, they could purchase and refine them, immediately obtaining a Ghoul comparable in strength to a late-stage or even peak Golden Core Realm cultivator!
When excavating Ancient Cultivator's Tombs, if they encountered formidable Corpse Spirits, Lady Scarlet and the others were powerless to fight, and Shen Mo was essentially the one who subdued them.
Therefore, Lady Scarlet, Fu Jianghuo, and the other two had only managed to kill two mediocre Corpse Spirits in total. The two remains they harvested were acquired by Fu Jianghuo at the cost of substantial resources, leaving Lady Scarlet without a single ancient cultivator's remain.
"Senior Brother Qingyun, are you really willing to sell these top-grade remains?"
Unbeknownst to herself, Lady Scarlet had changed how she addressed Shen Mo, sounding even closer, though her tone was filled with undisguised regret.
"I am not skilled in the method of corpses refining..."
Shen Mo took a sip of spiritual tea, calmly explaining to Lady Scarlet.
Since forming his Golden Core and becoming a Supreme Elder of the Riverside Sect, he had read almost all available Manuals and cultivation methods. While it wasn't entirely accurate to say he knew nothing of corpses refining, his methods were rudimentary and crude compared to those of the Ghost Corpse School. Thus, he could hardly unlock the full potential of these four remains.
Furthermore, refining them into Ghouls and cultivating them to the strength of a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator would require investing a vast amount of precious resources, time, and energy!
Currently, Shen Mo's cultivation had not stagnated, so there was no need to spend his resources and energy on refining Ghouls.
If resources were plentiful, it would be better to exchange them for Spirit Stones to deduce magic and martial arts through [Martial Performance], and then cultivate them to a profound level. The formidable Spells he mastered himself were far more useful than external aids like Ghouls.
What's more, he possessed the Soul Refining Flag, an exotic treasure. As long as he fed it enough blood food, he could raise as many Class IV peak Demon Soul Generals as he wished. Why would he bother refining Ghouls, which were even harder to control than Demon Soul Generals?
Besides, Shen Mo wasn't afraid that the sold remains, after being refined into powerful Ghouls, would be turned against him.
Once he subdued the Taiyi Sword, he could slay even a Class IV peak Ghoul—whose body was harder than gold and stone and difficult to destroy with ordinary magic treasures—with a single strike!
Seeing Shen Mo's mind was made up, Lady Scarlet said no more.
Only a short while later, several powerful Divine Senses sought him out to discuss trading...
The four ancient cultivator's remains were quickly bought. A peak Golden Core Realm cultivator obtained two. If not for Shen Mo's exorbitant price, which even such a cultivator found burdensome, they might have intended to acquire all four.
The remaining two remains were purchased by two different late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators!
Obviously, these three Xian Dao Strongholds had all reached a bottleneck in their Cultivation Realm and possessed sufficient resources and time to engage in refining Ghouls. Simultaneously, they needed to rely on external means to enhance their combat prowess.
As the spiritual items on the clouds were bought one after another, Shen Mo's Universe Bag began to fill up once more.
Most of what he obtained were raw materials for Alchemy, making talismans, or Forging. Precious spiritual medicinal materials, in particular, accounted for the largest portion of his gains!
