(Fast-paced story, exciting from start to finish, no need to overthink.) Gu Changqing, a nominal disciple of the Qingyun Sect, wakes up and realizes he has been reborn. With only three months left ...
So the two strolled around, and saw that the stalls displayed all kinds of divine weapons and magical artifacts, dazzling and overwhelming. They had everything imaginable, and the variety was very complete, including both familiar and unfamiliar items.
When Gu Changqing reached a small stall, he stopped and sensed a powerful aura.
Gu Changqing walked up to the stall and saw that it was filled with many strange and unusual weapon parts, making it look like a general store.
However, the sharp-eyed Gu Changqing immediately noticed a part of one of the weapons, which was extraordinary and exuded a powerful aura.
Although the part looked very old and worn, Gu Changqing could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary object. He guessed that it was a weapon part from ancient times, which had been scattered in various places for various reasons.
"Sir, take whatever you like," the stall owner said, flashing his big teeth and flattering the vendor.
"How much is this?" Gu Changqing asked seemingly casually.
"This thing isn't worth much; you can buy it for just one low-grade spirit stone. Sir, would you like to look at something else? I have all sorts of things here," the stall owner said with a smile.
The stall owner only had the cultivation level of the third stage of the acquired realm, so how could he possibly sense that this seemingly unremarkable part was actually a treasure?
So, Gu Changqing snagged this treasure again.
"No need, I want this." Gu Changqing said seriously.
He then took out a high-grade spirit stone and handed it to the stall owner.
The reason I gave him a high-grade spirit stone wasn't because I was being overly compassionate; it was simply because I didn't have any low-grade spirit stones on me.
The stall owner was overjoyed at the sight and quickly took the spirit stones, excitedly saying to Gu Changqing, "Thank you, sir."
"Boss, where did you get this weapon from? How come there's only one? Where did the others go?" Gu Changqing asked casually.
"Sir, you may not know this, but this isn't something I sourced. A few friends and I found it by chance while treasure hunting in the suburbs. It didn't look like anything special to me, but I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I just put it up for sale at my stall. As for the others, they probably found them, and I didn't notice. If you want the other parts, you can try looking for them there." The shopkeeper explained the origin of the part in detail.
"Oh, I see, I see." Gu Changqing said with a sudden realization.
They see a treasure but don't know its value; they're destined to never make a fortune.
"Boss, why does your city only sell weapons? We've looked for ages and haven't seen anything else. Don't you have any restaurants?" Gu Changqing took the opportunity to voice his doubts.
"Just from hearing that, I can tell you two aren't locals, you must be from out of town. Our city specializes in this kind of business, and our ancestors have made a living from it for generations, hence the name Steel City," the stall owner explained patiently and in detail.
"Okay, got it. Here's your tip," Gu Changqing said casually, and placed a top-grade spirit stone on the vendor's plate.
Afterwards, Gu Changqing and Jiang Qingcheng left and continued strolling forward.
"Husband, what do you need this part for?" Jiang Qingcheng finally voiced her question.
Jiang Qingcheng didn't say much because there were outsiders present, but she couldn't help but speak up after leaving the stall.
“Silly girl, this isn’t an ordinary part. If it were, would your husband have bought it?” Gu Changqing touched Jiang Qingcheng’s nose and said with a doting expression.
"I see, no wonder. My husband is so clever. You noticed it all. I didn't even realize it," Jiang Qingcheng praised with a smile, while also mocking her own limited abilities.
But upon further reflection, it made sense. Her husband was now a powerful Immortal Emperor, far more powerful than herself. It was perfectly reasonable and commonplace for him to notice the difference in this component.
Gu Changqing didn't say anything about this. He continued to sense the surroundings and, sure enough, found weapon parts with the same aura at other vendors one after another.
Most of these vendors were at the Acquired Realm or Qi Sea Realm, so they didn't realize the special features of these parts and sold them as ordinary parts.
Even someone of Jiang Qingcheng's level couldn't sense it, let alone people like them.
So, Gu Changqing took the opportunity to buy all the parts.
Moreover, they were all bought at a low price of one low-grade spirit stone.
Gu Changqing couldn't find a single low-grade spirit stone on him, and neither could Jiang Qingcheng, so they simply gave each of them a top-grade spirit stone. After all, he was too rich, but this could be considered compensation for them.
If they knew it was a treasure, I wonder what kind of expression they would have. They would definitely be so angry that they wouldn't eat for three days.
Mistaking a treasure for a piece of grass will naturally result in vastly different selling prices.
The two walked to a high mountain in the suburbs. Looking out, they saw a towering mountain with a vast expanse of sky and boundless wilderness. A waterfall cascaded down, its beauty magnificent and breathtaking. Auspicious clouds drifted by, accompanied by a gentle breeze that tossed their long, black hair, creating a scene that was truly delightful.
The melodious calls of various wild animals and Suzuka deer echoed through the mountains, adding to the allure and charm of the place.
Gu Changqing then gathered all the parts together and, after piecing them together for a long time, finally managed to restore them as he had hoped.
After many years, these broken parts were repaired and reconnected, instantly sparkling, dazzling, unique, rare and precious, emitting a series of bright rays of light.
After a moment, its light slowly faded, finally revealing its true form.
This treasure was originally a large, cyan sword, crafted from ancient materials. It was covered with densely packed ancient symbols, giving it a mysterious and ancient appearance. Even the slightest aura emanating from it was extraordinary, and it was extremely sharp.
As expected, it was a rare treasure.
"Husband, you really have a discerning eye. This really is a treasure, just as you said. This treasure does look quite impressive," Jiang Qingcheng said excitedly.
Gu Changqing was not surprised by this result.
He then took the cyan broadsword in his hand, looked at it again and again, and examined it carefully for a long time. It was indeed a divine weapon.
Then, his curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to test the power of the broadsword.
He raised his broadsword and casually swung it at the mountain range, instantly unleashing a terrifying pressure.
"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out, and a blade of light shot into the sky, a thousand feet long, as if splitting the heavens and the earth!
In the blink of an eye, the blade struck the mountain, producing a deafening sound that shook the surrounding area, causing it to tremble violently and sway precariously. The scene was terrifying.
Countless pebbles fell like a waterfall, tumbling and exploding, creating a scene of chaos and devastation.
