Chapter 844: Reforging the Universe

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei deliberately walked through the major shops in Green Cloud Market.

Myriad Bamboo was fully purchased by Sacred Land, and not just Myriad Bamboo, but various other spiritual materials were also bought in large quant.i.ties.

According to Chen Feis estimate, the amount of spiritual materials bought by Sacred Land was more than enough to set up two altars.

Its unclear what exactly happened after the meeting between the Sun Moon Realm experts with the Black Divine that prompted such a large purchase of spiritual materials.

According to the shopkeepers, many of the spiritual materials in their hands have indeed been completely bought out now.

However, they expect to replenish their stocks through other channels after some time, although the quant.i.ties wont be as plentiful.

Behind these large shops are top forces.

Many experts from the Mountain Sea Realm leave the Sacred City not only to complete tasks in the temple but also to search for various treasures across the Middle Continent. After all, they cant rely solely on whats available.

Not all Myriad Bamboo in Green Cloud Market has been bought out, though; Sacred Land mainly purchases from those major shops because its more straightforward and convenient.

Therefore, Chen Fei made a round in Green Cloud Market and managed to find Myriad Bamboo in some smaller shops.

However, due to Sacred Lands recent purchases, all related spiritual materials in the market saw a comprehensive price hike.

Previously, a single Myriad Bamboo was priced at four thousand high-grade elemental stones, but now, each one directly jumped to six thousand.

Chen Feis sigh stemmed from this situation.

Making money was never easy, and now, with Sacred Land causing this surge, buying Myriad Bamboo had become even more challenging for Chen Fei.

Was making a little profit that difficult?

Returning to Thousand Geese City with a grim expression, Chen Fei puzzled Zhao Ruizheng and others who rarely saw him in such a mood.

Chen Feis news prompted Chi Shuqing and Tong Linyun to rush over to see him.

Sigh

An hour later, Chen Fei let out a long sigh.

Later on, inside the secluded room of the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei looked at three items in front of him.

A cl.u.s.ter of spiritual essence, a Void Wood, and the blade once wielded by Chi Shuqing.

These three items were the most valuable possessions in Chen Feis pocket.

The Void Wood, needless to say, possesses spatial properties, and selling it off would be somewhat regrettable.

After some hesitation, Chen Fei ultimately decided to meld it into the Qianyuan Sword. This way, not only could the Qianyuan Sword be upgraded to a highgrade spiritual treasure, but when needed at the Altar of Thousand Feathers Alliance, Chen Fei could also use the Qianyuan Sword to guide the energy of heaven and earth into the altar.

As for the blade, it was forged with a rather rugged style but possessed formidable power, reaching the peak standard of a medium-grade spiritual treasure.

During its initial forging, with slightly better craftsmans.h.i.+p, it could have achieved the standard of a high-grade spiritual treasure. However, even with the power of a high-grade spiritual treasure, the blade would not have pa.s.sed the altar at that time.

Now that it has been forged and is difficult to modify, Chen Feis forging skills alone could only stack spiritual essence onto the blade to possibly upgrade it to a high-grade spiritual treasure.

However, the amount of spiritual essence required for this is not a small sum.

Alternatively, incorporating the Void Wood into this blade also holds some hope of stacking it into a high-grade spiritual treasure.

But for Chen Fei, inserting a piece of Void Wood into the blade to achieve a high-grade spiritual treasure, only to then sell it, would result in even greater losses.

These monsters, how come none of their weapons have the habit of opening up s.p.a.ce! Chen Fei flicked his finger against the blade, producing a melodious hum.

Previously, Chen Fei had slain many altar monsters, but none of their weapons had spatial capabilities.

Its unclear whether these monsters lacked forging skills or some other reason.

This blade can only be sold as a medium-grade spiritual treasure. As for this cl.u.s.ter of spiritual essence

Chen Feis gaze swept over the blade and landed on the spiritual essence.

Pure and flawless, it was not much different from ordinary celestial treasures. With sufficient insight into martial techniques, it could be directly absorbed and converted into cultivation.

Chen Feis original plan was to refine this spiritual essence into a fourth-grade pill and sell it.

After all, selling refined goods often yielded higher profits compared to raw materials.

The skill of a craftsman truly holds value.

For Chen Fei, creating a fourth-grade pill from scratch wasnt difficult, but it would take several months to refine the proficiency of the recipe to that level.

But plans often lagged behind changes, and the construction of that high altar by Sacred Land had caused a rise in spiritual material prices throughout the Sacred City.

Even those spiritual materials that werent purchased by Sacred Land had seen significant price increases.

For some time, it was unlikely that spiritual material prices would drop.

Chen Fei faced a dilemma: after spending months refining the pill recipe to perfection, he might find that the prices of spiritual materials hadnt fallen. Should he still proceed with pill refining?

If he did, despite the sharp increase in spiritual material prices, the prices of the pills would also rise because the supply of pills was still abundant.

Normally, whether it was shops or top forces, they refined spiritual materials into pills because pills were more profitable than raw materials.

Therefore, with sufficient supply of pills, before moving to the Sacred City, everyone had just harvested their own secret realms, which were actually sufficient. But with Sacred Lands intervention, there had suddenly been some rare opportunity.

Originally, it hadnt been easy to buy spiritual materials used to purchase pills normally, because everyone used them for pill refining. Now it had been even harder to buy and more expensive.

Afterwards, Chen Fei purchased spiritual materials and blended them with spiritual essence for alchemy, perhaps earning less in the end than the price difference caused by the rise in spiritual materials.

A few months later, the prices of spiritual materials should drop, but to return to their original levels, it probably wont happen within a few months. The main issue is that Myriad Bamboo is now too expensive!

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly, especially since the price hike of Myriad Bamboo seemed somewhat insane, making Chen Feis simple refining of fourth-grade pills seem futile.

Those monsters behind the altar are a bit too timid!

Chen Fei muttered to himself, collecting the blade and spiritual essence first, then taking out the Qianyuan Sword and slowly approaching the Void Wood.

The monsters behind the altar were not to be considered in the short term.

As for the unknown s.p.a.ce behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, Chen Fei could reluctantly consider it, such as using a clone of the Mountain Sea Realm to exchange for a piece of Void Wood?

Of course, he needed to quickly ascertain whether there were any eyeb.a.l.l.s of flesh and blood above the fifth rank in that s.p.a.ce.

An hour later, the Qianyuan Sword floated silently in the secret room, completely dormant.

The Qianyuan Swords sedimentation alone wasnt enough to elevate it to a high-grade spiritual treasure, but the Void Wood was so potent that it was capable of accomplis.h.i.+ng such a feat.

The fusion of the two was successful, although the Qjanyuan Swords spiritual essence needed some time to sleep, to complete its final breakthrough.

Chen Fei was just about to guard the Qianyuan Sword when suddenly his expression s.h.i.+fted slightly. His figure flickered, leaving the secret room and appearing in a medicinal garden.

Sensing someones arrival, a wooden head poked out from among the herbs. When it saw Chen Fei, Bakaseyes lit up.

Chen Fei, youre here! Baka exclaimed with delight.

Yeah, I came to congratulate you on breaking through to the Third-Tier, Chen Fei replied warmly.

Feeling the power within Bakas monster body, a smile crept onto Chen Feis face.

Recently, Baka had been attempting to break through to the Third-Tier and had finally succeeded after entering a deep slumber.

When Chen Fei returned from the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Baka hadnt yet awakened. Just now, sensing a stir, Chen Fei had come over specifically.

Chen Fei and Baka had known each other for decades, from Bakas peak First- Tier to his recent early Third-Tier.

Chen Fei blinked, reflecting on how he had evolved from a Bone Tempering realm junior warrior to a Mountain Sea Realm expert with six Divine Palaces. He believed his future held even greater heights.

After a moment, Baka specially prepared two portions of medicinal juice, handing one to Chen Fei, reminiscent of when they first met in a secret realm.

Of course, back then, Chen Fei had taken advantage of Bakas unfamiliarity with the market to get more spiritual herbs.

Chen Fei lifted the stone bowl and took a sip of the medicinal juice.

The juice flowed smoothly, with a slight bitterness from the herbs at first, quickly turning into a lingering sweetness.

Chen Fei glanced at Baka with some surprise. This medicinal juice was made from third-rank spiritual herbs, yet unexpectedly pure.

Even with such a simple combination, it had a medicinal efficacy akin to a pill.

Alchemy involved conflicting medicinal properties within spiritual herbs, achieving sublimation and integration to enhance medicinal power.

And yet, the medicinal juice Baka had made somehow conveyed this sensation.

Is it tasty? Baka asked eagerly when he noticed Chen Fei looking over.

Delicious! Chen Fei nodded affirmatively.

I think its delicious too!

Upon hearing Chen Feis praise, Bakas face lit up with a hint of joy.

How did you make it? Chen Fei asked curiously.

Just like this, Baka replied casually.

Bakas branch-like arm extended, curling around several herbs. A faint glow emanated from the branch, causing the herbs to tremble slightly. Most turned to ashes, while the remainder fused together, transforming into a bowl of medicinal juice.

Chen Fei carefully observed Bakas actions this time, his expression slightly s.h.i.+fting as he looked at Baka.

Bakas breakthrough to the Third-Tier had unexpectedly awakened an ability or talent on its own.

The medicinal juice drifted in front of Chen Fei, its fragrance refres.h.i.+ng.

Looking at the medicinal juice, Chen Fei realized that with Bakas ability to purify directly from herbs, he had become an invaluable partner for alchemists.

Using such purified medicinal liquid to refine pills would greatly increase the pill formation rate and quality.

However, it was a pity that Baka was only at the Third-Tier now, unable to handle fourth-rank spiritual herbs.

No, Bakas ability just now wasnt just about purifying herbs, Chen Fei recalled the scene just now, furrowing his brows slightly. He then placed a fourth-rank Snow Cloud Pill in front of Baka.

Baka, try to temporarily separate the medicinal properties within this pill, Chen Fei whispered softly.

Separate? Baka blinked as he felt the majestic medicinal power within the Snow Cloud Pill. He wrapped his hands around the pill.

In the next moment, as Bakas monster energy circulated throughout his body, the Snow Cloud Pill in his hands trembled violently, then seemed to swell slightly.

Indeed, the pill swelled up. Under Bakas unique monster energy, the Snow Cloud Pills entire structure expanded, yet miraculously, the pill remained intact.

A faint glow emitted from Chen Feis brow as wisps of monster essence appeared at his fingertips. He gently tapped the Snow Cloud Pill.

Hum!

A ripple spread out, interrupting the monster energy in Bakas palm. The Snow Cloud Pill reformed.

However, unlike the previous Snow Cloud Pill, the medicinal power within it had directly intensified by a significant margin.
